Hero of Harmony (Continued)

Chapter 218: Status Panel & Lazuli

Seeing Yuki and Lazuli staring each other down, I couldn't help but sigh while rubbing my face; in these five years, they haven't gotten much nicer to each other, and it's usually either I or Michelle who must act as a mediator between the two. However, despite their hostile relationship, deep down, they've acquired a certain amount of respect or understanding of each other. Hence, their arguments are never too serious, but they'll still leave the loser in a bad mood for a few days.

"Alright, you two, please don't fight; let's just be calm and peacefully talk things out." Said Alexander lightly as he stood up and forcefully stepped in between Yuki and Lazuli, pushing them away from each other.

"Hmph, I was peaceful last time, Alex, and I still found hair in the shower; since peace isn't working, I'll take a more forceful approach this time." Remarked Yuki with a frown as she scoffed in annoyance while narrowing her eyes at Lazuli, who stared back with her emotionless eyes.

"It's fine, Alex; I'm not one who learns through peace." Said Lazuli calmly as she gazed at Yuki, who was provoked by her words.

"Tch, bastard!" Muttered Yuki in slight anger as she flexed her muscles and stepped forward, only for her to be lifted over Alexander's shoulder.

"Yuki, calm down; it's not too serious; it's just some hair. Lazuli, don't provoke her; you know that's stupid; also, go clean your mess in the shower." Stated Alexander firmly as he gazed between Yuki and Lazuli, causing them both to scoff.

"Since YOU said so, Alexander, I shall oblige." Said Lazuli lightly as she nodded at Alexander before walking up the stairs, causing Yuki to grunt in annoyance.

While Lazuli walked up the stairs, I returned to sitting on the couch, only this time, I had a nearly eight-hundred-pound woman on my lap, not that I was complaining.

"Will you stop being upset, Yuki? It's just some hair; I know it can be annoying, but it's really not that big of a deal." Remarked Alexander as he looked at Yuki while rubbing her firm, muscular thighs, greatly arousing him.

"Hmph, I had already asked her twice before today; she clearly doesn't respect my words." Replied Yuki in annoyance as she scoffed before folding her arms, causing Alexander to furrow his brows while staring at her fingers.

"Hmm, where is your ring, Yuki?" Asked Alexander curiously as he grabbed Yuki's hand, causing her to dismissively wave her hand.

"It's on the counter in the bathroom. I was about to take a shower, but someone had left their hair in the bathroom." Said Yuki lightly as she glanced at her hand before looking at Alex, who nodded while wrapping his arms around her waist.

The ring I was referring to was the one I had personally crafted for her; it was very similar to Master's, with the only difference being the ring being made of silver rather than iron or really whatever metals I could find. The center of the ring also contained a drop of my blood, so even when I wasn't near her, it would still protect her in my stead. I had also made one for Michelle, which she was currently wearing; it looked identical to Yuki's, and the only way to differentiate them was by the names I had engraved on the inside.

However, unlike Yuki, I hadn't married Michelle; a year after we moved to Cassandra, Yuki and I finally got married, and it was definitely one of the greatest, happiest, and most memorable days of my life. After a lengthy discussion that spanned several weeks, we decided to get married in the church of Eywa, the Goddess of Azarath and the same Goddess Master prayed to. Neither Yuki nor I was big in religion, so we didn't care too much, but there was a strong belief that the specific church you marry within would decide your future marriage, and unlike me, who didn't believe in such things, Yuki did, so I of course accommodated to her.
