Lyana held her head and covered her ears. Her eyes were wide open and bloodshot. Her chest moved up and down like something was weighing it down. That was the condition of Lyana when Vivi found her sitting next to the extinguished campfire. "Lyana, what happened?" Vivi asked. Lyana's gaze was blank and unfocused.

"H-h-how can they?" The sound of horror was deeply ingrained to her mind. And even when she covered her ears, her mind repeated the sound for her.

"How can they what?" Vivi asked back. Vivi touched her head and used mind magic to reduce the shock Lyana was in.

Lyana's head snapped and she looked at Vivi. Her gaze has returned to its normal state. "Six hours."

"Six hours?" 

Lyana turned towards Vex tent. "Six hours and they still haven't shown any sign of slowing down." Lyana grabbed Vivi's arms. "How is that even possible?!"

"W-what?" Vivi strained her hearing and printed her ear towards Vex's tent. And there it was, a small voice and the sound of flesh slapping against flesh. "WHAT?! How can they?"

"Exactly! Did they take drugs? Medicine? Who the fuck have sex for six hours straight?!"

"They do, it seems." Vivi answered. "Are you sure they don't rest and only started again in the morning?"

"I'm on guards duty, remember? And the night is silent except for their noise." She had tried to get away during the night, she had tried walking around and scouting around, yet the sound haunted her no matter where she went. Lyana covered her face and sighed "To hell with getting used." Her talk with Vivi the night before had calmed her down and toughened her resolve. It gave her enough hope to bear with all Theo's action. Then this happened.

Vivi chuckled. "But we have to remind them you know, we're on a mission after all."

The idea of getting closer to Vex's tent was terrible enough. for Lyana. To try and convince them to stop was unthinkable. "You're free to try."

"Ohh, but you're the one on guard duty." Vivi smirked, trying to push back the responsibility.

Lyana looked at her. "L-let's do it together then." Vivi answered without a word. Her face asking why should she help her. " You said you are here to help me, not just here for Theo."

Vivi sighed after hearing her word used against herself. "Okay, but I'm only following from behind, you're the one that speaks to him and Vex."

"F-fine."

Lyana stood up and slowly walked towards Vex's tent, followed behind by Vivi. The closer she got, the louder and clearer she could hear the noise. It wasn't as loud as the previous night, of course. After six hours, they would have at least got tired ... right?

Lyana unconsciously began to think all the kinky stuff and all the position they did it in that six hours. Her imagination was quite clear and detailed since she knew how Theo's body looked like, and Vex even with her armor, barely leave anything to the imagination. Her face started to turn red. Those previous six hours she listened to them only brought her annoyance and not even a pint of arousal. Yet somehow, now she was imagining wild things.

"Lyana." Vivi called and tapped her shoulder.

"W-what?" Her body jumped and she shuddered.

"You're spacing out... ohh." Vivi smiled. "You are imagining them."

"N-no I'm not!" She walked closer to Vex's tent. "T-Theo! V-Vex! It's already morning! Stop doing whatever you're doing and come out!"

There was no answer. "Doing whatever you're doing? You have to be bold, Lyana." Vivi teased her. She never took a liking to teasing Lyana, but after witnessing Theo and Vex did just that, it was actually quite fun.

Lyana looked at her with her red cheek. "S-stop FUCKING EACH OTHER!" She shouted. Vivi was taken aback, she didn't think that Lyana would actually shout that out.

Yet even with her effort, there was no answer from inside the tent. "I ... think we should get in." Vivi suggested.

"I-in? There's no way I can go in there!"

"Well, we ... we have to."

"Then you should be the one to go in. You have seen him naked countless times and you have ..." Her face turned even redder. "Done it with him. There's shouldn't be any problem for you."

"No problem for me?" Vivi asked back. "You're the one who secretly watched us having sex countless times, you should have no problem seeing him having sex with another woman!"

Neither of them wanted to go in and see whatever Theo and Vex were doing inside. Their back and forth trying to convince each other to be the one that entered the tent went on for quite some time. But Vivi had the advantage from the start. Using her magic, she subtly changed Lyana's mindset little by little.

Lyana gulped down the spit in her mouth. "Fine, I'll go." She grabbed the opening of the tent and slowly opened it. She closed her eyes and prayed, hoping that they would have finished when she opened her eyes. But before she could do anything, a liquid splashed on her face.

"Bullseye." Vex said while grabbing Theo's manhood in her hand. Lyana touched the liquid that hit her face. It was white and sticky.

---------

Theo was leading the party with Vex as they climbed further up the mountain. Like the day before, there was no wave of Fire Elemental. He was still sure that all of this was a trap. Looking at the army far below them, they were marching uninterrupted.

He walked up the mountain with no vigor. He didn't get any sleep the previous night. That and all the fighting he did the previous day, sapped him of all his strength and stamina. He was dead tired.

Vex suddenly touched his shoulder, causing him to shudder. He felt her warm breath on his neck, causing cheek reddened. "W-what do you want Vex?" He asked the person who prevented him from sleeping.

"Nothing." She kissed his cheek. "It's just that your face is really cute, more so when you're blushing like that." She smirked. "Shame that it's rare to see you blushing like that." She laughed after that.

"Really, what do you want?" Theo knew Vex wouldn't talk like that if she didn't want something.

She hugged his arm. "Ohh, remember that we're officially a lover now. Have you forgotten it already?"

Theo snickered. "I already regret my decision."

"Aww~ don't be like that." She placed her hand on his cheek and turned his head towards her. Her eyes, however, wasn't focused on him, it was on the women following them from behind. She wondered how their expression would look like if she were to act all lovey dovey with him.

"G-Go to hell!" Val mumbled under her breath. She immediately took off to the sky. She was pretty successful in learning how to control herself around Theo. She didn't lose her mind anymore, and her head didn't boil like before, but she wasn't ready to see him with Vex.

Lyana was still angry. Her face was red, brimming with both anger and embarrassment after remembering the sticky substance that hit her face. She refused to talk with anyone after that. She really wanted to punch them both in the face, twice, with a huge boulder.

Vivi had no reaction. She was both too deep in thought to care and she knew what Vex was aiming for. She knew her, she won't fell for her bait. In her heart, she was a little bit jealous seeing Theo walking and embracing another woman instead of with her, but there was no helping it when she fell in love with a man who has a harem.

"You've promised me to not bully Lyana or Vivi, and wow! you broke that promise a few hours later, really nice of you, Vex." Theo said. "Thank you."

"But I think the pleasure is enough for a sorry."

Theo couldn't deny that though. The previous night was one of the best night he ever had. "I don't think I'm going to have any more sex for this week."

Vex chuckled and hit Theo's side with her elbow. "Yeah, how many times have you said that in the past only for you to take back your own words the same night?"

"Today won't be the day." Vex smiled and leaned to kiss him. Theo tried to push her away, but she forced her lips on his.

'Damn' Theo cursed Vex. She has a unique skill which made anyone she kissed became aroused, no matter who. The fact that he had just finished a six hours marathon with her a few hours earlier didn't reduce the effectiveness of her unique skill.

"Really?" She asked, knowing that her unique skill had affected Theo.

"I stopped giving my consent half way through last night. So that's technically a rape, half of the time." Theo said.

"Never taken you as someone who's bothered with rape." Vex chuckled. "And who's the one who said that It's not a rape if their pupils turned into hearts?"

"L-let's just go." Theo walked away from her. It had been a long time since he had felt such an embarrassment and humiliation.

Out of nowhere, Tina landed on Theo's shoulder and sat on it. "Don't mind me Vex." She said with her usual monotonous voice. She then moved around his shoulder, trying to find a comfortable position. "You don't mind, do you?" Tina asked Theo.

"No." He was happy, her thigh was soft like a pillow. And her presence there might prevent Vex from teasing him too much.

The rest of the day went without much going on. The combined might of Theo's party and the Miracle made little work of any resistance and defensive position the Elemental prepared. And they encountered no special Elemental whatsoever.

When the sun began to sink on the horizon, a great fire blazed the sky. A wave of Fire Elemental marched down the mountain once again. Their number was far larger and the quality of their soldier had been improved. Lesser Elementals became a rare sight, replaced by their higher and greater counterpart. There was a lot more Fire Lizards on the mountain despite the Adventurer's effort to reduce their number. Theo wondered what kind of trap were they preparing for it to be worth not sending any Fire Elemental for two days.

Theo and the rest set up another camp away from the wave of Fire Elemental. Even if they were confident in their strength, it was foolish to challenge that huge number of Elemental. They watched from their camp as the two armies clashed.

The Kingdom's army still held the advantage, though not as much anymore. Not only was their formation imperfect because of the rocky terrain, they have to fight from a lower ground. And like every strategist and commander in history knew, fighting from a lower ground was not a good thing.

"Shouldn't we return and help them, Theo-Sama?" Vivi asked while embracing Theo's arm.

She was happy. Throughout the day, Vex was trying to milk out the jealousy within her, but Vex gave up when she realized that she won't take the bait. And when Vex had given up, Vivi didn't waste a time and took her rightful place next to Theo.

She had accustomed to Sistina, who still sat on Theo's shoulder. Fighting with Sistina on his shoulder was surprisingly not as hard as Theo thought. She knew when to get off and when to stay. Sometimes she flapped her wings to lighten his load and blow some cool air on his face. Which helped him a lot since fighting Fire Elemental often would entail getting hit by fire or other hot objects.

"Yeah, I'm worried too." Ed added from the side, worry and impatience in his voice. Ed woke up the last in the morning, so he was spared from all the drama, and all the strange happening during that time.

"You're always worried, Ed." Theo pulled Vivi closer to his body. He wanted to kiss her, but it was not possible because of Sistina's leg getting in the way. "No, there is no point. The army can hold this wave and we still have the job to go to the summit. If we return back to the main camp now, all that we have done will be useless."

"Is it really?" Vivi asked. She flashed a mischievous smile to Theo before moving her gaze toward the member of the Miracle.

Theo smiled. "Well, maybe not everything."

Sistina yawned. Her sharp and focused eyes dropped down to a drowsy unenergetic state. Vex approached her from behind and tried to move her from Theo's shoulder, but her thigh grip on his head was still tight. "C'mon now. Isn't it time for you to sleep?" Vex asked.

Sistina shook her head. "No. I wanna stay with him like this."

Vex patted her head like she was a kid. "Suit yourself, Tina. If you can stay awake that is."

Vex smiled, looking at Tina trying her hardest to open her eyes. Though her effort was useless. Tina's instinct to sleep was too strong for her to resist. Her head bobbed up and down as she was on the edge of dreamland.

"Tina." Theo called her. Tina's eyes jolted open, then it closed halfway a moment later. Theo rubbed her thigh that was next to his head. "You can sleep you know. It's not like I'm going to leave you just because you fall asleep."

After Theo comforted her, her body slumped forward, where she fell to Vex's arm that was ready to catch her. "How did you do that?" She asked.

"Do what?" He asked back. He had an idea what Vex was asking, but he asked anyway to be sure.

"This is the first time I see Tina trying so hard to stay awake."

"I don't know. She just loves me that much." He laughed. He didn't know why Tina clung to him so much, but he couldn't complain.

Vex put her hand on his thigh. "So how does my skill worked?" She flashed a predatory smile. Theo knew what she wanted.

"No, Vex, I had enough." Theo said, trying to turn down Vex. The effect of Vex's unique skill only grew stronger with each passing hour. Now He wanted it again, but he knew accepting it wouldn't do him any good.

"Really?" Vex blew some air into his ear, causing him to shudder. "Little Theo down there doesn't seem to agree with you." She licked the back of his ear.

Theo grimaced. "Y-you devil." His face turned slightly red. whether it was from embarrassment, excitement, or something else, he didn't know anymore. "Suit yourself then."

"Then we should 'scout' around a bit. Just the two of us for ... safety reason." Theo didn't answer. Vex chuckled a little, no matter how much Theo had grown, how experienced he became or how confident he was, in front of her, he was still the 17 years old boy who didn't know anything about women. "You can't say no to that, can you? Wait a minute here, I'll go put Tina somewhere safe first." Vex stood up, leaving Theo behind, who was torn between his lust and his desire to get a good night sleep.

Vex placed Sistina on Bry's care. "Where are you going, Vex?" Bry asked.

"I'm going with Theo to scout ahead. Just a little bit. We won't be away for long." Vex smiled a mischievous smile.

"NO!" Bry stood and yelled.

"What?" Vex was surprised with her action. Bry rarely disapproved anything she did.

"I won't let you go around with that man."

Vex smirked. "Jealous? Didn't you druid have no need for." Vex made a fake cough. "Earthly pleasure or whatever you call it."

"This is not about that man! It's about you, Vex, you changed ever since that man appeared."

Vex crossed her arms. "You have hots for me? You should just say that, you know I'm open."

"No-" Bry covered her own face. How the hell did Vex came to that conclusion. "You're too focused on that man alone, Vex. You're trying to make everyone around him jealous of your relationship with him. You even try to make Val and Tomoe jealous, you risk the integrity of the Miracle. That's not you, Vex."

Vex shook her head and chuckled. "I mean ... Val and Tomoe know I'm just joking. They are used to it."

"They are used to you teasing them, but how many times in the past have you tried to make them jealous? And you know how sensitive Val is about the man that she likes. You DON'T joke and tease Val when it comes to the man that she likes." Val has a pretty rough past, especially about man and love. The last person she loved changed her so much and shaped so much of the current Val. 

Vex sighed. "I think you're just overreacting, Bry." 

"Of course you are." A deep and malicious sounding voice interjected. An overpowering hostile aura erupted out, turning the air heavy and hot. It was hard to breathe and hard to move like they were inside a viscous liquid. 

Everyone jumped in surprise. Even Tina woke up from her slumber when she felt the overpowering hostile intent in the air. Everyone broke out in sweat.

There wasn't supposed to be anyone there beside them. And even if there was someone, one of them ought to realize his presence.

They all reacted too late. A fire halberd ran through Vex's abdomen. It didn't create any open wound on the outside, but the fire seared her organ.

Blood spurted out from Vex's mouth and she collapsed on the spot without even knowing who attacked her.
