Vincent spent the last of his days soothing the sad faces of his lovers, making sure they would go to class and not stalk him; surprisingly, one of the girls that seemed most disappointed in him leaving was Zarina.
It's not because she is hopelessly in love with him or anything, but rather they spend the past two weeks and several bouts in the medallion practising together to improve.
Since his stint in that broken room where time doesn't flow, she found his technique and skill somehow started to catch up and surpass her's in some ways.
He stood outside his mansion feeling a little solemn; for the first time, he would leave this city, not permanently, but something deep inside warned him.
That once he left, everything might change, and the world he once enjoyed and complained was boring might never return.
"Are you having second thoughts, master?" Raizels voice sounded, and the short blonde girl stood beside him, holding onto his black robes, her dazzling eyes watching him, unblinking.
Vincent's mind focused on a strange suspicion that lost its focus before slowly turning to face the beautiful girl's face.
Today Felia and Odette would get back from class around 4 pm, so he had a few minutes to spend with Raizel after promising to spend more time with Ophelis and her sister Ophelia during the long travel to the capital.
'I hope we don't have to fight too many bandits and random monsters....'
Although monster attacks were rare, he discovered that since he advanced rather than causing monsters in the dungeon to flee, his dragon and phoenix bloodlines were like magnets and would cause monsters to attack him almost relentlessly.
"Raizel, please don't worry; I cannot stop now; the world wouldn't let me, and neither would Astaroth and that crazy goddess..."
Raizel hugged his arm, her moderate breasts softly squishing against him as the pair turned towards the city centre; he wanted to look at Vandis one last time; Momo had already gone ahead and would wait for him at 5 pm to start their travel.
'I feel bad for her; we will only travel a few miles tonight, stop in a small village, and then continue the journey for real tomorrow. All because I wanted to see Odette and Felia one last time after school.'
"I'm a little too green sometimes..."
"Master..."
Slowly they paced along the road; he began to look back on his past few months before he was a powerless worm, unable to understand a woman's feelings and a complete bitch.
'Why did I not act sooner, pretending I couldn't see her collar or the pain she was suffering... Was I some stupid brooding loser with a hero complex?'
He kicked a stone, the power so high it burst into the air, smashing a distant stone wall into dust as the explosive sound resounded through the slums.
"Fuck, if she wasn't such a strong woman, I could have lost her forever!"
Vincent tried his best to analyse himself as a man, lover and warrior.
The times when Felia approached him, obviously filled with deep affection and wishing to help him, yet his own bruised ego and desire to have people feel sorry for him caused Felia to be backed into a corner; the only way for him to face her was to use her precious talent.
'What if I was a jerk? That I couldn't be worthy of her? Why didn't I try to learn more about her sooner? Such a sweet and kind girl who loves me so much; let's pay attention in future.'
A burst of blue light flashed before a small Silvari appeared on his shoulder, her cute horns of ice, scaled blue skin and white kimono fluttering as specks of ice swirled around her body.
"Darling?" She asked with confusion; he summoned her small form suddenly.
The huge merchant district approached; behind, he could still hear several groups of people looking at the huge crater from the stone he kicked; thankfully, nobody saw his action cause any annoying trouble.
Vincent's large hand scooped up Silvari, her cool body like a little ice cube; she began to rub against his palms and fingers, brushing her soft white hair.
A huge smile came to his demonic face.
Silvari was confused by his sudden smile and laughter while he continued to look at her while they walked forward, near the small plaza with a large white fountain; here was where he fought the assassins.
"Silvari!" His voice sounded with a husky tone.
"Y-yes, darling!?" She replied, slightly worried, wondering if she had done anything wrong.
He recalled the moment she appeared an aloof goddess of ice, cold but acting like a pervert with a strange way of speaking.
Everything changed when she came into his life; if it wasn't for her, he might be dead inside that dungeon as Odette became a cold, unfeeling empress.
"Thank you, I would be lost without you."
His words were straight, with no sense of flattery, as his fingers brushed against her soft face, the tiny cheeks like marshmallows as they stretched with his touch.
"Darling, are you dying? Do you have cancer!?" Silvari asked with great concern.
"No way, I just remembered where I was not too long ago, feeling that everything is so different in a year, and it's thanks to you and all the others who gave me their kindness and affection."
'Even Meiya...'
[Fufu, you don't need to thank me. I was only allowed to live thanks to you...]
Her last words were quiet, and although he heard them, it wasn't the time; sometimes, he felt a barrier with Meiya, which might persist until he could meet her in person.
"Stupid, who cares for your thanks... You give me so many things..." Silvari said as her voice became muffled, hiding her face against his thumb.
'Darling is too cute and attractive when he's sentimental! What do I do!?'
Finally, after minutes of walking, Momo's cute fluffy tail and the special carriage he gained from his choice the other day appeared a huge black carriage with golden features and several demonic horses.
Those horses would only listen to Vincent himself and a person he permitted to ride.
In addition to Momo joining the Dark Phoenix Emporium as their first driver, she would try recruiting her fellow kinsmen in the future when visiting the city centre.
'She looks so happy playing with those horses....'
Momo stroked their soft manes, feeding them carrots and other magical greens; although they were demons, Vincent was surprised that these things didn't eat meat or human flesh.
"Eh?"
A woman was standing beside the carriage, on her back a strange black spear with a small shield in the same colour attached to her wrist.
Beautiful dark skin, shimmering in the afternoon sun like delicious caramel, long elven ears flowing from her head, while the soft white hair floated on the gentle breeze, now longer and tied in a half braid.
'Is that her? When did she become so beautiful and womanly....'
She seemed different from when he last saw her, almost ethereal like a fairy, with a faint silver glow surrounding her body and a very serene look as she smiled towards him.
'Titania... She's so wonderful. Is she going to become a fairy spirit in the future, not a dragon?'
Beside her was another dark-skinned woman, with long crimson wavy hair, huge curved horns and black scales covering her entire body, like a dragon mixed with rock and slate.
However, her breasts were far too big and bouncy; the soft melons swayed as she turned towards him, giving a light wave, flames fluttering from her fingertips.
Golden eyes, with slit pupils, stared towards him, not even masking her delight and excitement as her black scaled tail swayed like a dog given her favourite chew toy.
Efrita's hair was now in a pair of twin tails, just like the little girl he saw in those images; she looked more vibrant and youthful like that strict, rocky outer core was scratched away to reveal the cheeky, red dragon queen's true nature.
Vincent finally reached the women, giving them a warm smile, not waiting for them to hold him; he rushed towards them, Raizel standing behind and holding Silvari, that flew from his hand with dazed eyes as they watched him.
Efrita secretly left to meet with Titania shortly after sharing part of her story with Vincent; he never asked because they could always talk together.
Yet seeing them both together, somehow they looked like sister's causing him to feel strange, imagining he would see his family for the first time in a year, well, more like two for him after using that room several times since then.
'Each time I used it, though, I would have erotic dreams about Astaroth; the doll would also do strange things....'
Titania and Efrita were held tightly by Vincent; he pulled them into his chest, grasping them tight enough to crush their soft, ample breasts against his chest; the girls smiled at his childish yet passionate greeting, wrapping their delicate arms around them.
'Vincent became so sexy since I left with that troublesome princess; why does he no longer hide his daemonic side? I am glad because he looks close to the figure of Efrita, my tribe's saviour and deity.' Titania thought to herself as she kissed his cheek.
'You grew up without my help this time, huh? I am glad to see you becoming more like a real man each time I see you, Vincent. My little husband!'
"It's great to have you both back; I've missed you."
Vincent's words were sincere as he gently kissed them both on the lips, pressing ever so gently, but with all his affection and feelings transmitted in the few moments they kissed, both women placing a hand over his heart, feeling how fast it was beating and smirking at him.
"Stupid husband, when did you become so soft? Look, the poor wolf is embarrassed!" Efrita elbowed him gently, pointing to Momo, who was blushing deeply, almost emitting smoke.
"Haha, is this cute little girl another one of your lovers?" Titania teased, her beautiful elven body pressing against him seductively.
He was about to deny it, saying she wasn't ready; however, he was beaten to it, as Momo stood tall, her short height a mere dwarf compared with these two Amazonian-like women.
"Y-yesh! I am Momo, his newest girlfriend. Nice to meet you!"
Vincent almost collapsed; this girl wasn't his lover yet! But he couldn't complain as the cheerful voice of several people came from behind him; thus, his time left in Vandis was only minutes at best.
"Yahoo! Darling, it's me~ your favourite elven wife! Come give me love~" Felia shouted, causing many passing women and wives to smile, snickering at Vincent as they dragged their gawking husbands away.
Titania stepped forward, covering Vincent's body as she began to kiss him all over her cheeks, lips, neck and chest.
"Sorry, this man loves his dark elves dark and sexy~ find another!"
"Ahhhh! Get off, my man! Stupid dark elf!"
"Darling/Husband! Who do you love most?!"
Thus Vincent's last moments in Vandis were watching his various women bickering, joking and arguing over which one he loved most; his only answer to escaping this question was simple.
"My mother!"
