Primis was gently caressing Eina's hair while glaring at Misha and Rose. Fear had already gripped their hearts to the point that they can't even speak. Primis knew if he will kill them, Eina will be sad. Hence, he did something else. Three-tomoe in his Sharingan started to rotate and both had their vision blurred.

Misha shook her head to get rid of blurring. Though, in the next second, she became dumbfounded. She looked around and found herself in a completely different place. As she was becoming confused, suddenly, her foot hurt. Looking down she saw a spike came out of the ground and pierce through her foot. Before she could scream, more spikes came out and impaled.

On the other hand, Rose found herself in a cave. She sensed heat from the mouth of the it. Hence, she became curious and approached it. When she reached the entrance and looked down, her face became pale. She was currently in one of the caves of the volcano.
The volcano was rising slowly and slowly. It soon reached the cave. Rose got frighted and started finding the way to escape but to no vail. In the end, she had no choice but to return to the cave. Nevertheless, volcano also entered the cave in the next moment and swallowed her completely.

Misha and Rose came out of their illusion. Then they both fell on their knees and hugged their trembling bodies. They body realized that it was just an illusion, but it felt so real. Misha could still feel the pain of having her body impaled by the spikes while Rose still remembered the pain of being burnt alive. At this time, Primis voice sounded in their ears again making them even frightful.
Primis: If you make Eina cry again in future then what you experienced just now will become reality. Do you understand?
They both nodded their head hurriedly. Next, Primis dispersed into six ravens again.
Kraa!!!
Kraa!!!
Kraa!!!
Kraa!!!
Kraa!!!
Kraa!!!
Only Rose and Misha remained in the room now. Confirming that Primis was gone, they took a sigh of relief. After some time, Misha spoke.
Misha: R-Rose. I think I know who he was.
Rose: I also know. "The Black Swordsman".
Misha: *gulp* To think the one who stole our Eina heart is him.
Rose: *sigh* Forget it. We should make sure no one knows about it, otherwise.
They both shivered thinking that.
Rose: One more thing, don't start keeping distance from Eina because of what happened. Treat her like you always do.
Misha: I know.

When Misha and Rose were talking among themselves, Primis had already left the Guild building with Eina in his embrace. Eina raised her head when she heard people shouting and found herself in the market. She became shocked because just a second ago, they were inside Guild Building.
Primis: You must be tired after today's work. How about a little bit relaxing.
Eina: Mn.
Eina unconsciously nodded her head hearing this. Noticing some tears at the corner of her eyes, Primis gently wipe them. Eina heart warmed when she saw Primis care. As a result, a sweat smile appeared on her face. Primis increased her happiness even more when he took out the bouquet from his inventory.
Primis: This is for you. I think blue flowers bouquet will be good since it's the sign of relaxation.
Eina: It's beautiful. Where did you buy this bouquet?
Primis: There.
Pointing towards the flower shop, which was at the side of the street, Eina nodded her head. She confirmed Primis words because she could see same flowers at the entrance of shop. Primis then took the bouquet from Eina's hand and put in his inventory again.
Primis: I will give it back to you once we are done for the day.
Eina: Ok.
They both then started walking while enjoying the crowd. Primis held Eina hand so that she won't get lost. This caused her to blush, yet she didn't try pull back her hand. Eina then kept on dragging Primis from one place to another. Primis didn't stop her and let her drag him. Primis even bought a pair of earrings for her.
Each earring has three shapes attached to it. At top was a silver triangle; between was a golden five-corner star and at the end was a teardrop-shaped sapphire. Primis didn't wait for Eina to say anything before putting it on her ears. Eina hurriedly broke free from Primis hold and went to another stall. Primis chucked seeing how she ran to hide her face which had become as red as tomato.
Primis was the only one hiding his presence. Hence, everyone could see her. Watching her happy smile everyone became happy too. Eina presence was something which attracted other people attention. And she also loved seeing everyone's happy. As Eina went from one stall to another, from one shop to another, shopkeeper himself/herself chose the best thing for her to see or buy. Eina also enjoyed talking with them.
Primis was looking at Eina with small smile on his face. Soon that smile turned sad. He knew that their time together was only temporary. Eina loved all civilian. But that's not the case for him. Primis had already decided that he will side with Xenos. So, when their existences will come into being in future then these very civilians, Adventurers will be his enemies. And he won't hesitate to swing his blade at them. Whether they will be civilians, Adventurers or even Gods.
At that time, if Eina will decide to side with these civilians which Primis knew had 90% of chances of happening then it will be better if they both go their separate ways. That's also one of the reasons he didn't Eina made either Half or Permanent member. Since she can't accept Primis way, they should separate.
As for Lili whom he had already made Half-Member and Haruhime who he will rescue tomorrow and will make next Half-Member, he knew both will follow him no matter what decision or side he will take.
At this time, Eina who was talking to shopkeeper suddenly turned back and saw Primis who had sad smile on his face. When Eina saw that smile her heart started to ache and she felt like crying. She didn't know why but she felt like Primis will disappear from her life because of one of her own decisions that she will regret forever.
Primis realized his mistake when he saw smile disappearing from Eina face. He appeared by Eina side, hugged her and they both disappear. Crowd become astonished because of sudden disappearance of Eina. So, commotion started to spread. But Primis ignored it because he knew Guild will handle it somehow.
His current priority was Eina because her emotions were becoming unstable. Eina had long realized that she was in Primis embrace but she was not enjoying it. The pain in her heart was increasing slowly and slowly as she kept on remembering Primis's sad smile. Tears started to fall from her eyes.
Sensing that Eina condition was becoming critical, Primis raised her head to look directly into her eyes. Three-tomoes started to rotate.
Primis: Forget everything you saw just now.
B-DUMP!
Eina got stunned and soon her eyes turned blank. Next, she fell unconscious.
[That was close.]
Primis nodded. Eina was a very kind girl. But if she realized that she will the reason to make the person she loved sad then it will be a very big blow to her heart. Primis then shook his head and carried Eina who is in his embrace to "Hostess of Fertility".

When he reached his destination, Eina started to wake up.
Eina: Um…
Primis put her down and Eina rubbed her eyes while looking around. Noticing that they were at different place now, she became confused.
Eina: What happened?
Primis: Nothing. You were just too tired and fell asleep during the way.
Eina: I-I see. I am sorry about that.
Primis: No Problem. Let's have a dinner here.
Eina: Mn.
Eina became embarrassed knowing she fell asleep and responded with a nod. She didn't know why there was a slight pain in her heart. In the end, she ignored it thinking that it must be her imagination.
"Hostess of Fertility" was full of Adventurers right now. There were more Adventurers today then yesterday. Must be because yesterday Primis came right before the closing time. It was very crowded, and you can't even see not a single empty seat.
Eina: Looks like there is no seat. Should we wait or go somewhere else.
As Primis was also wondering what to do, Chole and Anya passed by him. Suddenly, he raised his hands and grabbed their tails.
Chole: Kya~~~~~~~~~~
Anya: Meow~~~~~~~~
Both released a high-pitched scream. The entire hall became silent. All Adventurers turned to look at Chole and Anya. Never did they thought both could release such a cute scream. Sensing their gaze, both Chole and Anya turned and glared at them. This caused the Adventurers to hurriedly avert their gaze back to what they were doing before.
Confirming that none was looking at them, they both turned and glared at Primis this time. But seeing who it was they got stunned.
Both: Y-You are----
Primis didn't let them continue and swiftly caught their tails again.
Both: Kya~~~~~~~~
All adventurers again turned at them. This time they all received their killing intent and again looked away. Next, Chloe and Anya hurriedly freed their tails from Primis hand and started to caress it. Because of pain some tears could be seen in the corner of their eyes. Cat people tails were very sensitive so of course the pain will increase too.
Primis: Keep quiet. It will be annoying if others realized that I am here. For now, any free seats.
Hearing this both became dumbfounded. Not only them even Eina who saw everything also had same expression. They can't believe what they were hearing. Primis didn't even apologize for what he did and changed the topic just like that. On top of that, seeing his calm face it felt more like that they were the ones who wronged him, not the other way around.
At this time, Ryuu came out of kitchen with order in her hands. She saw how both Chole and Anya has stunned expression on their face. Becoming confused she moved her gaze towards where they were looking, and a smile appeared on her stoic face.
Primis ignored these three stunned women before walking towards Ryuu.
Primis: Any free seats.
Ryuu: You need to wait.
Primis: What about the private rooms.
Ryuu: They are----
Chole and Anya: WAIT.
At this all three of them snapped out of their daze. And when they saw how Primis was talking with Ryuu like nothing was his fault, Chole and Anya became angry. And on top of that when they saw how Ryuu was talking with him with smile of her face, it irritated them even more.
Ryuu: What happened Chloe, Anya?
Chloe: Ryuu, its him you and Syr was talking about yesterday, right, meow~?
Ryuu: Yes.
Anya: Then Syr was right. He is very rude, meow~.
Ryuu: Rude? What did he do?
Chloe and Anya: He grabbed our tails, meow~.
Ryuu: .........…
Ryuu eyes opened wide. She can't believe what she was hearing. Just like how Elf didn't let anyone touch their hand, cat people also didn't let anyone touch their tails. She looked at Primis with weird expression. She felt like he was breaking record. Just yesterday he touched an Elf hand and today he even 'touched' Cat people tail. Two of them of top.
Primis: What's with this expression? Its true first time I touched their tails from behind. But second time, I do it in front, yet they didn't try stop me.
Ryuu moved her gaze back at Chole and Anya. This time they didn't know what to say. They can't just say that they thought he won't do it again that's why they didn't dodge. Suddenly, Eina came to their rescue.
Eina: Actually, you shouldn't touch Cat people tail.
Both Chloe and Anya nodded with happy tears in their eyes. At least someone understood. Though, Primis next words made them question themselves.
Primis: Is that so. I see.
SILENCE
TOTAL SILENCE.
'Chloe & Anya: THAT'S ALL. WHERE IS YOUR APOLOGY?'
Ryuu: Pfft.
Ryuu hurriedly turns her gaze away. Though her shoulders were trembling slightly holding back her laugh. Not only her even Eina was having hard time controlling her laugh. Chloe and Anya were trying their best to tell Primis his fault while he was nodding his head like with serious expression like a student who was learning new thing with Chloe and Anya as his live example.
Then there was a sound behind the counter. Mia, who had come out heard everything. She was also having hard time controlling her laughter. Though, she still controlled herself.
Mia: *cough* *cough* S-So what can we do for you today?
Primis: A private room.
Mia: Sorry, all rooms are full. If you came just few minutes ago than the last room will be yours.
Primis: I see.
When Primis started to ponder what to do, A voice was heard from one of the private rooms.
Adventurer: Hey how long for our order?
Mia: Coming soon. Tch. Soma Familia, they came in last and want their order to be first.
Mia then turned to go into kitchen, but Primis voice stopped her.
Primis: Which Familia again?
Mia: Huh. Soma Familia. What, do you know them----
Mia startled when she looked back at Primis. Not only her even Ryuu, Chloe, and Anya were the same. They saw Primis smile, and a chill went down their spine. Though, Eina who was standing behind Primis didn't see it.
'Primis: My, My. To think we will meet this soon, Soma Familia. How do I become so lucky.'
I hope you guys give me power stones. It’s a little thing to you but it does a lot for me, and I will greatly appreciate it by writing and releasing more chapters at the end of each month.
