"if I may ask what are your relatives name?"
Aston didn't panic he accounted for this.
His face from calm became to extremely annoyed.
"Isn't vin-land supposed to be a safe-haven for victims of the beasts?"
He muttered up some non-sense
"Besides why does it matter who my relatives are! I didn't come to live with them. I just wanted to deliver the message of my dead-mother.
I don't know their names, why should I? They left my family in the dark! This is my mother's last wish."
The girl didn't change her facial expression.
"Your name suggests you are form a European nation why are you he-"
Aston crashed out.
"This is absurd! What rascism! Is this? I came seeking my relatives! Now you are labeling me? I am telling all my family that this village is ass!"
The girl seemed to panick from his half-assed speech, now Aston knew she had some truma tied to protecting this village.
Great, easier to get in her robes now.
The girl immediately bowed and apologized.
"Sor-sorry for the question! Please don't spread bad about our village!"
The girl seemed to be letting out choked sobs.
Aston didn't feel bad
"Other villages already speak-il of us. We are barely scraping by on materials. We have been already starving for ages.... Many of our villagers have turned into canibels."
'thats dark. Meh not like i care.'
Aston smiled and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Don't bow your head. Your question was reasonable. If you must know. My family migrated here, and half of the family, derrives from the European and half from the Japanese land."
The girl raised her head, her beautiful face was stroked slightly with years. She sniffled not questioning his response since she couldn't after he just forgave her for something nownthat she looks back she feels guilty for.
"Anyways doesn't matter mirai-san, anyways you can call me Atsu since it's better to say"
He let out a soft smile in which the girl was kinda attracted to now.
[CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE UNLOCKED AN PASSIVE SKILL!]
the system chimed.
[Passive Skill:Withering look.]
[DESCRIPTION:The abillity withering look makes all female species are anyone the host seems attractive, to increasingly feel attracted to the host overtime. This abillity stacks overtime with physical interaction or bonding.]
[Level:1]
Aston looked above miko's head where he saw a small heart emoji being imapled by a withered rose, and it flickered slowly.
'i guess it's implying this girl may start to slowly feel for me.' Aston concluded the oblivious.
"Anyways mirai-san! Could you show me around the village!"
Milo didn't snap out of the state of love but..
"Atsu-san."
Miko started.
"Didn't you say you where going to leave? Why do you want to have a tour?"
"I did say that?..."
"Huh. Anyways doesn't matter let's go!"
Aston grabbed her hand which she allowed and they went towards the village.
'if the passive works how i thick... The intrigue should make it more effective...'
He took a glance stop of her head the heart impaled-symbol glowed a little more and blinked now instead of flickering.
He could feel her eyes being one of intellectual interest rather than warriness.
[Quest!]
[Quest:Fuck miko mirai]
[Reward:Exp and a lootbox!]
'wait this system has lootboxes? Isn't that out of script?'
Meh whatever. The more the merier.
*A few hours later at a noodle stall.*
"So... Atsu-san. Do you mind staying at vin-land village for a while longer? Now that you learned your distant relatives are... Well dead?"
Aston looked overwhelmed as his hands gripped the chopsticks.
'things are going smoothly, now I just need to act in a way or something.'
"Maybe. I need to reside here till I go back to Europe. Who knows? I may stay here for a while."
Some glimmer appeared in her eye.
'I am cooking so hard rn.'
Aston thought. Man he made her call a special nickname, gave his backstory. Made her stand straight and now this?
She was falling extremely hard for him now.
Like really hard, or not. Who knows?
He knows she is a serious woman with some extreme truma tied to her.
But until he doesn't know that. He can't make a move.
"Family is amazing right mirai-san?"
He scoffed slightly as she took a slurp of his noodles.
Miko flinched a little at the sudden the comment.
But her face turned soft and convulsed into a soft smile.
"Ah. Yeah, family can be pretty helpful at times. I can't imagine how... My life would have turned out if..."
Miko paused.
There it is, the truama he can exploit!
"Mirai-san. Tell me your truma."
Miko flinched again her face becoming increasingly small.
"I can understand that beneath all that powress there is something flickering in the dark... Waiting too get out."
Aston said lowering his voice making the lone area feel intimate.
Miko just got up and turned.
Aston sighed and followed her.
"Prowress?"
Miko chuckled, a self insult.
"I have no such thing... I am a failure."
Aston reported
"No that's not tru—"
"Afterall I am a astral-faliure."
Aston stood still. To be honest he had no fucking idea what that meant. But he knows on cue. That. He has to stop, why?
Listen man it helps the plot, and character development.
"You are..."
Miko chuckled.
"See atsu-san..."
She said her face a pained smile now. The streets lamp lights lightly flickering gently.
"Even you see me as a monste—"
"No. I don't. I was just surprised to be in the presence of someone unique!"
Aston said beaming doesn't matter if it's horrible, hell astral failure may mean she is some sort of catastrophe in disguise
But like hell he cared. He see hot girl, he try to fuck, just as simple as that!
"Atsu... San... Do you even know what it mea—"
Aston closed the distance and hugged her.
Not only good for character development, but.. her soft breasts are crushing against his chest. Worth it...
"I don't know what it means. But I know what you are. Amazing. Miko-san, you are amazing!"
Miko felt her legs tremble as her cheeks flushed-pink.
She hugged him back.
"So you don't know what it means."
She smiled.
"Liar."
