Chapter 42 ... (1/2)

Yuki looked earnestly at Shina and said slowly and softly, ”Shina... could it be... that you fell in love with Theo?”

Shina was surprised by Yuki's sudden question. ”Am I?” Shina muttered holding her head with both her hands in confusion. ”Ahhh, I-I... I don't know... because I've never been in love before...”

Shina now began to wonder if she really liked Theo in a romantic way, but she then remembered that Theo and Yuki were a couple and said, ”I can't have fallen in love with Theo, right? He already has you... ”

Although she heard this from Shina, Yuki was able to understand that Shina may actually have come to like Theo, but Yuki wouldn't care if that was the case. Since for her, as long as she can have a place in Theo's heart, it doesn't matter if he has other women. And another important thing is that she already knew Shina and treated her as a good friend. She has also come to think that Theo could have other women since she is sure that he will become more and more extraordinary with time, and more and more women will come to fall in love with him.

That's what Yuki believed after talking to Shina about love stories.

Yuki smiled gently toward Shina who was nervously looking at her, and said in a kind voice, ”Shina, I don't know if you really fell in love with Theo, but if that's really the case, I think it would be wonderful to also be Theo's mate,” Yuki said even as she smiled kindly at Shina.

”Ehhhh?” Shina was surprised upon hearing that from Yuki. She even thought she was dreaming, but the fact in front of her could not be denied... and her maiden's heart began to palpitate even more than before. For her to have heard that... Shina could not stop herself from starting to daydream, to be one of Theo's women along with Yuki.

Yuki did not care about Shina's reaction and realized she was thinking about what she said now and waited patiently.

Shina breathed, putting her small, delicate hand on her chest trying to calm her emotions and asked, ”Is everything really alright Yuki?”

”Yes,” Yuki replied.

After a long time of reflecting, Shina replied, ”Um... I still don't know if I'm really starting to love Theo... but I admit that I feel something for him...” She gave a big sigh and said, ”And I don't know what he thinks of me either.”

”Hehe. Well, then take your time to think about it now and if you really did come to fall in love with Theo.” Yuki wrapped her wings around Shina like a hug and said, ”Then go deep and make him fall in love with you too...”

Shina was touched by Yuki's words and warm tears began to flow from her eyes. ”Thank you, Yuki!” She said it from the bottom of her heart.

”Yes.” Yuki nodded and held her until Shina calmed down.

While all this was happening, Theo was practicing his forging in his human form, oblivious of the conversation Yuki and Shina had.

Theo also wanted to forge a weapon he could use. He had already forged swords, spears, daggers and katana before, but not one of them had a Magic Core of lightning or darkness. He had been wanting to forge a weapon of his element for himself, but at the moment, he only had a few Lightning cores and none of Darkness. Because of this, he was first training with Magic Cores of other elements that he wouldn't use and since he would go to a city, Theo intended to sell some of the weapons he made there, or exchange some Magic Cores.

After forging a few times in his human form Theo thought: ”It's a little easier for me to forge in this human form. I even managed to forge a rank 2 sword with excellent quality.” Theo held the fire sword in his right hand and used some of his mana on the sword. The sword began to manifest red flames off it.

Satisfied with it, Theo put it in his dimensional bag. ”Okay, now I'm forging a sword for myself.”
