Eva even had a wing of the castle where she had forbidden Vahn entry and the overly serious look on her face had caused him to swallow hard before making a promise not to. It was fortunate he listened to her as well since the artwork within her private wing was much more intense than anything on display outside. She had seen Vahn's somewhat inhibited response to her earlier pieces and lost any confidence she had in letting him see what she believed to be her true masterpieces.

right, she existed
When Vahn had returned to the Inn, he felt strangely lonely while he was sleeping in the unfamiliar bed. Though he hadn't realized it before, there had almost always been someone sleeping alongside him for more than a month without an exception. Now that he was in bed alone, Vahn felt like the night air was surprisingly cold and he used his [Heart of the Eternal Flame] to keep himself warm as he conversed with Sis about future plans and possible solutions.

for some reason everyone seems to think being in the 'dark' side of things is very very bad for your mental health. and they're overly 'self-sacrificing' to 'bear' the 'burden' of being in the 'dark' side... yea everyone has 8-grade syndrome here
He was unaware at the time, but Ryuu had already resolved herself to support him alongside several other members of the Hostess of Fertility like Chloe and Syr. The three girls had, without explaining things fully to Vahn, decided they would help expand his information network and try to manage things on the darker side of the spectrum to prevent Vahn from being overburdened by those with malicious intent.

so no more focus on personal power? we for politics now?
It was at this moment, when Vahn was finally away from everyone, that he realized he was homeless for the first time in a while. Though brief, he even had a small desire to return to his forest cave and rest there for a few days. That thought passed quickly, however, when the image of Tina and Milan surfaced in his mind. There was also the matter regarding Hestia's descent from Heaven and the formation of her Familia. Vahn would be the first member and would be acting as the role of a Captain when it came to recruiting more members. He figured that, by the time Bell arrived more than two years from now, the Familia would have grown to the size of a small organization. Vahn even wanted to try and get it to Rank A or S if he could get enough powerful members to join.

oh. I'm kinda disappointed in the advice lol kinda hoped she would be realistic and just say 'only worry about your loved ones and stop caring about strangers and go nuts'
Vahn listened attentively and waited for her to continue; Eva laughed at his eagerness and explained, "Aren't there plenty of people around you to help share your burdens? Instead of trying to bear everything yourself, you can find those you trust and place your reliance in them. Just like now, when you're letting me consul and guide you, I'm sure there are others that are willing to do the same. Weren't you always talking about all the things that Hephaestus woman did for you that you wanted to pay back?"

very cringe lol
Releasing a sigh into her breasts, Vahn continued, "I want to be a hero...I want to be the light that helps people find their way out of the darkness...but I don't know what that really means. People tell me to just continue being myself, but everything I'm doing feels like it is only delaying the inevitable. The harder I try, the happier people become...but I feel like it just creates a gap in my own mentality that invites terrible things to happen. I want to be happy, but if my actions lead other people to suffer..."

and he didn't even go to school 😭 I blame Chloe, putting stupid things in his head

ha! deserve 😂
Lili held the spot where Vahn had 'gently' flicked her with his near Level 4 parameters. It felt like a hammer had hit her head, but she didn't begrudge him too much since it was a pain caused by her own carelessness. Vahn had noticed the genuine tears in her eyes and used [Hands of Nirvana] to rub the spot on her forehead before stroking her hair a bit and crawling into bed once she started undressing.

the fact that it's already proven makes it 10x funnier lol
Placing his right hand over the one she had over his heart, Vahn spoke in a solemn tone as if he were making a vow, "There are too many people that rely on me and too many things I want to obtain. I will not lose my way...I will continue to grow stronger in order to wash away any future regrets. I want to become a light that guides the way forward for others to follow."

Alongside him, a competitor of Chinese origin named Xianling also made a lasting impression, securing second place with her exquisite fusion of traditional and modern techniques. Her name stirred a vague sense of familiarity in me, though I couldn't pinpoint why. The third-place winner, by contrast, barely registered in my memory, overshadowed by the standout performances of her peers.

nah tbh Chloe only caused more problems, including forcing Vahn to be a 'hero' Vahn just wants to be happy, not to be cringe(hero)
Though everyone present believed Laverna got was she deserved, Hephaestus, Loki, and even Anubis wished they had been the ones to deal the blow. Not just for personal vindication, but because they would be able to accept responsibility and pass it off as a conflict of interests. Even still, they didn't blame whoever killed Laverna as everyone present understood something had to have occurred for the situation to progress to this point. Hephaestus and Loki even have a good idea of who the assassin had been and knew she likely acted to protect Vahn.

wonderful
Even if Kuji hadn't heard any of the conversations between him and Chloe, Vahn wasn't willing to risk having her identity exposed by healing Kuji's wounds and allowing him to spread the information. If Chloe was willing to kill a goddess to keep him on the path of light, Vahn was willing to kill a criminal to protect her secret. Kuji had done many bad deeds in his service of Laverna, and Vahn was giving him a mercy by relieving him from the pain he was suffering.

Kill All, you're a God
Though he wanted to smile in order to please her, Vahn instead said in a firm and serious manner, "One day, I'll pull you out from the darkness entirely. I'll find a way to clean up my own messes without losing my light..."

Chloe's smiled turned into a gentle one as she reached her right hand to Vahn's face and whispered, "It is my choice what burdens I bear...just as you choose to bear the burdens of so many. We're somewhat similar, you and I. Just like you're willing to go against your own nature to protect those you care about, I'm willing to walk through the darkness to make sure your light continues to shine brightly. If you think you owe me anything, just promise me you'll never change..." As her words finished, Chloe stood on her toes a bit as she gently kissed his lips.
