his eyes slowly opened. the bandage on his head.

???: repeat after me. one, two, three. three, two, one. ahhh-

Aether: aghhh!?

once he finally regained consciousness, the pain started to kick in. he held his head while screaming. the wound once again opened.

as he screamed in pain, he then suddenly felt warmth. the pain suddenly disappeared, as he opened his eyes once again-

???: *chuckle* are you okay, traveler~

her eyes were so beautiful. unconsciously, the boy's hand slowly reached for the woman's cheek. pulling her closer as she let out a yelp of surprised.

Aether: ...i failed.

the boy began to mutter, letting go of the woman's face as she smiled at the boy.

Aether: i failed...

smiling, the pink-haired woman gently stroked the boy's hair. feeling her hand, the boy's cheeks flushed red, looking up at the woman.

???: heh. you better wake up before i eat you~

the woman said with a grin, her eyes flickering in a dangerous way...

Aether: yes please.

???: mhn~ well then, thanks for the meal...

Paimon: stop right there!

paimon flew over to Aether and hold his arm.

Paimon: aether! you're awake!

Aether: *smile* yes... thank you, paimon.

the boy reached her little head and started patting it.

Paimon: you tried to cross the border, so paimon did everything in her power to stop you-ahh! never mind. in the end, you're fine and that's all that matters.

the little fairy leaned into his touch, bringing her head slightly closer to his hand.

while the fox lady just chuckled at their interaction before clearing her throat to get their attention.

Paimon: ahh, miko!

the little fairy then flew over to the fox lady.

Aether: how...

the boy slowly got up from the bed and sat on its edge.

Yae: you mean how did i save you from the balladeer?

Paimon: yeah! paimon's been wanting to ask you. since paimon were busy with aether...

the lady crossed her arms, with a smirk she said...

Yae: what if i told you it was a secret art from the grand narukami shrine, and that i had the balladeer down on his knees begging for mercy in an instant... would you believe me?

*SILENT*

aether and paimon just stared at her with blank face.

Aether: ...

a small laugh escaped the miko's mouth.

Yae: hehe, maybe it's better that you don't know the details...

puffing out her chest, she looked down on the traveler.

Yae: come on... there's one thing you forgot to say~

Aether: *smiles wryly* thank you for saving my life, yae-sama. i would do anything for you.

Paimon: *smack him on the shoulder* stop saying things you'll regret later.
