Chapter 31: Sky
Waking Up, Ethan remembered all the events that occurred the previous day and, with a smile on his face, he got up from the bed.
'Wait.. I forgot to say to Ais I would like to train instead of going in the Dungeon today..well..not that it was possible to bring such a thing into the discussion...'
Without the smile on his face dissipating, he went towards Ais' room again. This time more relaxed than even yesterday.
In his way towards her room, he encountered the person he wanted to see the most. Dressed in a green outfit with yellow borders, a white cloak over it, a black belt, a yellow sash, black leggings, and long brown boots.
"Good Morning..Riveria"
Seeing Ethan, Riveria had a slightly surprised expression but, without minding it, she replied
"Good Morning... Ethan"
He wanted to say a lot of things to her but, without saying them, he bowed to Riveria. This action made the surprise expression of Riveria to amplify before she heard him say
"Thank you.. I know I shouldn't even say something like this because you've probably been taking care of her for many years but.. I feel blessed to have this opportunity"
Hiding her surprise, she saw other people looking strangely at Ethan, so, with a hurried move, she hit him with her [Magna Alfs] on the head, saying
"Couldn't you say something like this in a private room?"
Feeling the pain on his head, he rubbed the spot where she hit and said
"I should have said 'Riveria, come with me in a private room?'"
Repressing the urge to laugh, he was hit by the staff another time.
"We should talk about it another time, now go where you should be."
Without repressing the laugh this time, he ran away from her while saying
"Thanks Riveria-Sensei!"
Sighing, she went towards the exit of the Manor without adding anything more.
'Ethan needs some punishment..'
---
After some minutes, he was in front of Ais' room. With the gentlest tone he could manage to use, he knocked the door while saying
"Ais, are you awake..?"
He didn't really know how to approach her but, remembering the fact she wouldn't mind that much anyway, he understood being shy was the last thing he should do.
After some seconds, the door opened but, this time, Ais was full prepared to go in the Dungeon.
"Ais.. I came yesterday because I wanted to ask you if we could train this time instead of going in the Dungeon. Is it okay for you?"
Hearing his words, she replied
"It's no problem.."
Without adding anything more, the two went towards the exit of the Twilight Manor but, before exiting, the crowd had all their eyes on Ethan.
"Look, this boy is still with our Sword Princess..maybe..."
"Hmph, whatever he does, She isn't interested in love anyway"
"You are right, I thought something stupid"
"Because you are the King of Bakas"
"... You are still a shitty Level 1, don't disrespect a level 3. This time I should teach you a lesson"
Exiting the Twilight Manor, the two went towards the north-west Gate. Arriving in their training location, Ais unsheathed the wooden sword she brought for the training. In a battle-ready state, she said
"Come"
Without having it repeated twice, he took the [Twin's Digimon] from his inventory. In a fast move, he went towards her.
She immediately parred his attack. Seeing this, he retreated before she could hit him but, the moment he tried to attack her again, Ais used her sword to hit him.
Hit rather hard, he felt the pain increasing but, without minding it, he got up again. Nodding her head, she saw Ethan come towards her, making the same mistake to leave an opening easily exploitable.
"Never leave openings...in your attacks..."
With this, she hit him again. This time, he got up even faster than before, something picked up by Ais.
"You're..getting stronger..."
Replying with a smile, the two continued their training all the way to evening. At the end, Ethan was so tired that he felt his legs couldn't bear his weight.
holding on to the nearby wall, he heard Ais say
"You did well.."
She saw the state he was in and, without the time for him to understand what was happening, she gave him a light kiss on the lips.
Feeling the butterflies who always accompanied him when he kissed her, he managed to place his hands on her shoulders, interrupting the kiss gently.
"We should return first..don't you think?"
Nodding her head, she said
"Can you walk..?"
With his legs recovering at a fast peace, he looked directly in her golden eyes, saying in a slow tone
"I..will be able to..in a few minutes.."
Hearing these words, she somewhat understood they had some minutes and, without missing the opportunity, it was Ethan who brought her face closer to his.
She felt that the more she kissed him, the more she wanted to keep doing it and, as the same was for Ethan, the two continued to kiss passionately.
The tumult of emotions that was washing over them, quickly made the few minutes pass. With the wind that gently passed through their bodies and the sunset in sight, he stopped their kiss again.
This time, she had a 'pouting' expression on her face.
Understanding she wanted to kiss more, he felt his heart beat faster than even yesterday but, without thinking about it, he brought his hand on her hairs, stroking them.
"We should return.. I don't want other familia members to worry about us.."
Nodding her head, she saw Ethan finally able to get up on his own. With this, the two finally brought their training to an ending. Heading towards the Twilight Manor, the two arrived without people looking at them a second time.
Seeing him with the Sword Princess again, the guard had another smile on his face while letting them pass freely. He somewhat understood there was something between the two of them and, being a kind person, he didn't say anything about it to others.
Entering the Manor, Ais and Ethan went in the room where all other members were talking upon themselves. Loki was one of them and, when the two entered the room, she said
"Welcome Home, Ais, Ethan. Just in time, we wanted to talk about the Dungeon"
Hearing this, Ethan looked one by one at all the members. Nodding his head, he saw Ais sit next to him on the sofa as if it was natural to do so.
Their 'interaction' shocked all the members present. They had known Ais for years and, knowing her for so long, they could never have imagined her acting like someone in 'love'.
The first to react was Bete that, surprised by such an outcome, wanted to argue but, understanding this would cause all the people in the room to stop him, he miraculously reacted differently than usual.
With his classic 'tch' he looked away while Ethan was surprised but decided to not say anything. Loki, tried to not think about it, adding
"Any ideas about the Dungeon's situation?"
Her words brought the other members back to awareness.
"I don't know the reason, but if monsters are stronger than I will smash them with a stronger fist!"
With her words, Tiona raised her first like a proud warrior. Tione thought the same but, without doing the same thing as her sister, she released a sigh.
"The situation would get worse if some level 1 and 2 adventurers enter the dungeon without at least a level 4"
Nodding her head, Riveria added
"The Guild advised everyone to have at least one level 3 veteran to accompany them to enter the dungeon."
Hearing this, Loki said
"Yes, they will arrange an expedition soon, we will join as the Main familia."
Nodding their head, the members of the Loki familia continued their talk about the dungeon for a while before Ais looked towards the exit.
Knowing what she wanted to do, he said
"I will go first, I'm tired.."
Hearing this, they saw Ethan get up from the sofa, saying 'good night' before exiting the room.
At this, Bete exited the room before he was stopped by Riveria in the hallway.
"You shouldn't try this, Bete."
He looked towards her. With a 'tch' he said
"I'm going in the Hostess of Fertility"
Feeling there was something strange, Riveria sighed
'So it wasn't his intention..really Ethan is making change not only Ais..even Bete?'
Her thoughts began to wonder but, before she could focus on them, she saw Ais exit the room while saying
"Riveria..can you teach me more..."
With another sigh, she replied
"Come with me, you too, Lefiya"
Hearing her name, Lefiya jolt from her previous location. She was trying to listen the conversation between Riveria and Ais but, being discovered so easily, she went towards them, saying
"Y-Yes.. I'm sorry..."
'Dismissing' her apologies, she went with the two in the same room they used the previous time.
'Ethan... I will make you 'pay' this way'
With a small laugh, Riveria entered the room with the two before making them sit on the bed.
'what a troublesome situation'
Was all that she thought before starting her in-depth 'lesson' about love.

(I have a discord server. https://discord.gg/cpVr5X8 If you enter it, you can choose one of Ethan's future powers from the pool I created, but that's not all! On the server, you can see the reference on some things that will be present in the story! Right now you can freely see some things like the [Twin's Digimon], but I advise you to read the story further before seeing them otherwise you'll get spoilers!)
(Kliff-kun.. I'm sorry! The chapter was too long...)
(A/N: Ethan exited the room because if he didn't, Ais would start to kissing him, you can ask 'Why would Ais do such a thing? Well, because she wanted it and Ethan isn't so stupid to ignore her.' So, expecting she would go to Riveria or come with him, he left the room.)
(A/N: Bete acted like that because he couldn't do anything to him primarily. The second reason is, Bete doesn't hate Ethan.)
(Alternate Titles: "Ethan, you should understand teasing Riveria isn't a good choice...","Ais needs to understand common sense for the second lesson","Lefiya is still thinking about a threesome.")
