Endless Path : Infinite Cosmos

Chapter 1577 Comfor

Seeing the rather tantalizing sight, Vahn raised his brows slightly before stroking his chin with an appreciative look in his eyes. She might lack the refinement of someone like Arika but she was still one of the most beautiful women he had seen in the Akamatsuverse. Her inordinately long legs and plump thighs were just two of her most noteworthy features, but, compared to her perfectly shaped backside and the healthy glow of her brown skin, even those lost out. Her sandy-golden hair, rabbit ears, and flawlessly sculpted breasts served to further enhance her beauty, but, the thing that made her appear almost irresistible was the seductive look in her pale-green eyes as she slowly licked her lips...

Having observed Vahn's gaze, the rabbit-eared woman seemed to interpret his silence as consent, her hands releasing her skirt as she walked over with a longer-than-average gait. She stopped just opposite of Vahn's side of the desk before taking a seat on the edge, smiling as she asked, "Do you find my appearance to your tastes...?"

Without hesitation, Vahn nodded in a sagely manner, but, when he opened his mouth to answer, he surprised the woman by saying, "I prefer your true form, but, if you want to keep playing around, I'd be a fool to refuse...is this the disguise you decided upon?"

Hearing Vahn's words, the woman scrunched up her nose in an admittedly adorable manner before turning her head to the side and haughtily stating, "I have no idea what you're talking about..."

Rather than argue, Vahn slowly rose to his feet, walking around the desk until he was standing next to the rabbit-eared woman. Then, without showing any inhibitions at all, he pulled her waist closer to his to initiate a very passionate kiss. To his surprise, her weight had actually increased to around 44kg, but, after a detailed scan with his senses, he realized she was just using a relatively advanced magical formation to artificially increase her weight...

Leaving no time for the woman to adapt to his pace, Vahn ran his left dexterously hand along her right flank, passing over her perfectly plump buttocks before running it down her smooth thigh. At the same time, he leaned into her slightly, forcing her to arch backward as he lifted up her right leg using his left hand. Then, using his right hand as a support, he guided her to lay against the top of the desk before she fully realized what was happening. Her eyes widened in response to the sudden change in orientation, but, without letting up, Vahn continued to entangle his tongue with hers as his right hand caressed along the interior of her thighs, invading the humid confines before gently probing something smooth, hot, and moist...

Though she had been patting his chest in a vain attempt to get him to pull back, the woman's eyes widened even further at the sudden stimulation. In response, her aura surged outwards, and, if not for the protective barriers he had erected during the restructuring of his office, Vahn's body would have been sent flying through the walls after she blasted him away in panic. Then, with a beet-red face, she glared at him while hugging her robe, exclaiming, "You...you...you beast...!"

Hearing the usual insult, Vahn just chuckled lightly before rising to his feet and asking, "You don't want to play anymore? You even went out of your way to prepare a garment like that...I'd hate to waste your preparations and leave you disappointed, Eva..."

As if she was an actual bunny girl, Eva's ears twitched in frustration, her expression a perfect blend of anger, embarrassment, and bashfulness. Fortunately, the other two emotions eclipsed her anger, so, after glaring at him for a tense twenty seconds, Eva released a pouty 'hmph' before crossing her arms and saying, "If you were convinced it was me, you should have been more resolute in trying to refuse my advances. Like this, it's like you don't care about appearances at all...you stupid pervert..."

Rather than answer directly, Vahn surprised Eva by causing his body to rapidly transition between several different forms. It was almost like waves were passing across his body, each one changing everything from his height, weight, build, facial features, and race. She already knew he could freely change forms, but, seeing how skilled he had gotten at it, Eva had a reasonably incredulous look on her face.

After settling on a form that looked completely different than any Eva had ever seen him in, Vahn made his point by asking, "If this was my true form, would you suddenly hate me...?"

Hearing Vahn's question, Eva frowned deeply as she began to scrutinize his form with her now icy blue eyes. Her transformation hadn't completely broken, but, due to her previous flustering, her size had shrunken slightly as her eye reverted back to their natural color. It actually made her even more beautiful, but, rather than vocalize this, Vahn waited silently as she examined his current, relatively plain, appearance...

Though Vahn was nowhere near as handsome as he usually was, giving her an urge to make a few biting remarks, Eva found herself unable to vocalize her thoughts. Every time she tried, the words would get stuck in her throat, and, though it was subtle, a pang of guilt would well up inside of her whenever she thought about insulting him. It was very difficult to proactively insult the people you cared about, a realization that caused Eva to release a melancholic sigh as she answered, "It doesn't matter what you look like...I..."

Unable to finish her words, Eva hung her head slightly, but, without prominent bangs to cover her eyes, her expression was still completely visible. As a result, Vahn deliberately made his way to her side before pulling her into a hug, his form reverting back to 'normal' as he held her head close to his chest. She had always enjoyed listening to his heartbeat, so, while combing his fingers through her slowly growing hair, Vahn held her shrinking body close to his, whispering, "I'm glad you came back, Eva...thank you..."

After reverting back to her 'true' form, Eva was curled up in Vahn's lap as the two reclined in a sofa the latter had pulled out of his Inventory. Neither had said anything for more than half an hour as Eva continued to straddle his hips, her head resting against his chest. They were both aware of the fact she was still wearing crotchless panties, but, as if it didn't cause his heart to itch, Vahn focused his gaze on the crackling fire while gently caressing Eva's body. He had a feeling she wouldn't mind if he took a few liberties, but, after several weeks apart, at least from his perspective, Vahn was more than content with just being together like this...

Breaking the silence, Eva surprised Vahn quite a bit when she suddenly murmured, "Don't let it go to your head...but I also missed you...specifically your cooking. Now that my biological processes have returned, I seem to get hungry all the time...you have to take responsibility..."

Chuckling lightly in response to Eva's words, Vahn hugged her a little tighter as he whispered, "I am always ready and willing to take responsibility..."

Though she snorted through her nose, Eva didn't issue one of her usual biting remarks. Instead, she buried her face into his chest while hooking her arms around his body. She could hear the sincerity in his words, and, after isolating herself in a diorama for several months, Eva had come to miss Vahn greatly. His cooking was one of the reasons, but, more than any other, it was his warmth that finally convinced her to return. It was a potent warmth that seemed to pervade her entire body, but, rather than feel oppressive and stifling, it brought her an unmatched sense of comfort and security...

Before she realized it, Eva had fallen asleep within Vahn's embrace. A contented smile had spread across her face, and, seeing it, Vahn's became especially affectionate as he held her gently cradled her body in his arms. Though it was a very different kind of suffering, Eva was even more tragic than girls like Naomi.

Eva desperately needed someone else to rely on, but, as a result of her monstrous strength, others ended up relying on her instead. This placed even more burdens on her, as, despite the facade she maintained, Eva was actually a very kind girl at heart. She was the type that would do everything in her power to help those she cared about, but, fearing they would suffer as a result of the powerful enemies she had made, Eva always did her best to keep them at an arm's length. She would rather isolate herself and face her enemies alone, refusing to let other people help her for fear of having to bear responsibility for their deaths for all eternity...

Vahn knew that Eva had done some terrible things throughout her lifetime, but, at no point did she ever proactively target the innocent. Though she was responsible for events like the Fire of London, burning nearly ninety-percent of the city to the ground, only six people out of the 80,000 residents had died in the resultant blaze. This was an extraordinarily low amount, showing just how much Eva cared about preserving the lives of the innocent. She might consider herself 'irredeemably evil', but, from Vahn's perspective, she was one of the most caring and noble people he had ever met...

After picking a few strands of golden hair from her face, Vahn raised her bangs before planting a gentle kiss on her forehead. This caused her brows to furrow slightly, but, after a few seconds had passed, a happy smile spread across her face as she nestled closer to him. She was an unbelievably adorable girl, and, if it was to protect her smile, Vahn reasoned that he wouldn't mind being labeled as a Demon King, or, perhaps, a Demon Dragon Emperor...

After sleeping comfortably for more than ten hours, Eva's eyelids slowly peeled open, her stomach loudly protesting its emptiness. This would normally cause her to blush madly, but, the moment she opened her eyes, Eva could see Vahn deftly forking up a piece of cheesecake before presenting it to her with an affectionate smile on his face. This also caused her to flush quite a bit, but, rather than a palpable feeling of embarrassment, it was more so the result of her bashfulness. She could feel her heartbeat gradually begin to accelerate, and, after tasting the rich and creamy taste, her expression instantly morphed into one of gleeful satiation as Vahn continued to feed her...

Once the slice of cheesecake had vanished into thin air, Vahn produced a cup of chamomile mint tea to help clean Eva's palate and satiate her thirst. It was a little awkward, as she was still nestled pretty close to his chest, her pert bottom resting against his lap, but Eva didn't seem to mind it too much. She straightened her back, suddenly appearing more elegant than usual as she gracefully emptied the contents of her teacup. Then, after releasing a contented sigh, she smiled back at him and mused, "It seems there is still some hope for you. Thanks for the cake and tea~."

Though her words were a little roundabout, Vahn didn't particularly mind. He was quite fond of how headstrong Eva could be, as, once she let down her guard, she became one of the most affectionate women he had ever known. Rather, once she had started to open her heart, she quickly became the type of person you needed to be careful of, as, after hundreds of years, there were countless things that Eva was eager to try...

As if reading his mind, Eva attempted to toss a tiny red pill into her mouth, but, before she was able to, Vahn caught her wrist, smiling as he whispered, "There is no need to rely on such things in order to feel confident. You are a beautiful woman, Eva...never force yourself on my behalf..."

Punctuating his words, Vahn prevented Eva's response by sealing her lips with his own, guiding her right hand away from her face and deftly removing the [Age-Deceiving Pill] hidden within. He knew she felt infinitely more confident in her adult form, but, if she continued relying on such things just to express herself, it would become yet another burden on her heart and mind. She had only just started to take steps in the right direction, so, unless it caused her significant stress, he wouldn't let her rely on such crutches when they were alone together...

Eva felt a small amount of indignation in response to Vahn's actions, but, after a few seconds had passed, she was more focused on the fluttery feeling in her body as she reciprocated his kiss. She didn't exactly have a large sample size to draw from, but Eva was pretty sure that Vahn was better at kissing than the vast majority of people. Not only was his tongue skilled at guiding hers, but his saliva was unnaturally sweet, possessing similar qualities to his blood. Every time she swallowed a bit of it, Eva felt her giddiness increase as a tiny flame was lit in her body...

Feeling a familiar ache, Eva separated her mouth from Vahn's, tucking her head close to his chest so he couldn't steal another kiss while she was trying to calm down. Any thoughts of running away had faded during the time they had nestled together in silence. She was no longer willing to give up his warmth, as, during the latter half of their separation, she fell into a depressive state that made both eating and sleeping difficult.

Eva's original intention had been to have Vahn search for her, but, after realizing even her favorite cake was lacking in flavor, it wasn't long before she found herself in Ariadne. She wanted to return to Vahn immediately after arrival, but, unable to muster up the courage for such a direct approach, she spent much of the morning spying on the bunny girl he had previously stalked. She wanted to test him to determine whether he was truly loyal to her, but, perhaps due to her inability to discover the source of the smell Vahn had mentioned, he had seen through her in an instant...

Remembering how 'bold' Vahn's previous actions were, Eva could feel the fire in her body growing in intensity. She became hyper-aware of her lower body, and, though Vahn's dragon was peacefully slumbering, she could still feel its outline. Her breathing gradually became more ragged, and, after a few seconds had passed, Eva could feel a light trickle that caused her face to become beet red. At the same time, however, Vahn firmly embraced her body, and, like a benevolent rain passing over a forest fire, the heat in her body gradually subsided as a gentle stream of calming energy pervaded her entire existence before pooling in her heart...
