Sealed With A Kiss

After firmly closing the door behind her, Lux gently put Iris on his bed and kissed her forehead.

"Don't worry, he can't get inside this room," Lux said as he sat beside her and held her hand.

"Un," Iris nodded as she lightly squeezed Lux's hand. "Actually, I planned on sleeping in your room tonight, Big Brother. I just didn't expect that you would also return from Elysium today. It seems that the Gods have blessed me with the opportunity to see you, before I am taken back to the academy."

Eiko slid down from Lux's head and crawled towards her Mama who was feeling depressed.

The baby slime kissed Iris' cheek before resting her head on her Mama's neck, as if to assure her that everything was going to be fine.

"Then stay here for the night," Lux replied. "Grandma Vera will accompany you back to the academy tomorrow. I'm sure that she's already negotiating with Alicia right now."

"You won't come with us, Big Brother?" Iris inquired.
