Hero of Harmony (Continued)

Chapter 265: Parting Ways

"Is that everything?" Asked Vanimo softly as he looked between Vanye, Lazuli, and Alexander, prompting them to nod while exiting from the brunt rubble.

"Yes, I don't see anything else that survived the fire." Replied Alexander with a nod as he carried a sack over his shoulder while scanning the pile of brunt rubble with his eyes, using [Heroes Gaze] to search for anything salvageable.

Exiting the pile of brunt rubble, which was previously the sibling's home, I grabbed the sack from Lazuli and approached Vanimo, who I then handed them to, prompting him to search through them.

"Haa, so little stuff, huh?" Muttered Vanimo, slightly depressed as he closed the sack before faintly sighing to himself.

"Sorry." Said Alexander lightly as he patted Vanimo's shoulder, causing him to wryly smile before shaking his head.

"Oh, I can't blame everything on you, Alex, though; unfortunately, it seems like my magazines didn't survive the fire." Remarked Vanimo with a shake of his head as he glanced at Alexander before lowering his head, only for Vanye to suddenly drop another sack right at his feet.

"Vanimo, what are these?" Asked Vanye sternly as she narrowed her eyes behind her golden helmet while dropping multiple magazines onto the ground, each cover containing a beautiful yet nude woman.

Raising my eyebrow at the magazines, I glanced at Vanimo before leaning down and grabbing one of the magazines.

"U-Um, w-what do you mean? I-I don't know what these are, Vanye." Said Vanimo nervously as he closed his eyes, refusing to look at either Vanye or the magazines.

"Oh, damn, there are some freaky stuff in here, alright. Master and slave roleplay? Bondage? Rape roleplay? Exhibitionism? I don't know who this belongs to, but one of you two is definitely a closet freak." Remarked Alexander lightly as he flipped through the magazines' pages alongside Lazuli before shifting his focus between Vanimo and Vanye.

"I've been solely focused on removing Vanimo's curse for the past thirty-five or so years; I didn't have time to revel in sexual pleasure, though it seemed someone was able to." Stated Vanye with a deep gaze as she leaned towards Vanimo, who awkwardly coughed while refusing to glance at Vanye.

"Ugh, f-fine, i-it belongs to me, alright!? What, I-I can't lust after women now, Vanye? Just because I don't look like one doesn't mean I'm not a man! I've got lust!" Stated Vanimo defensively as he threw his arms up into the air while glaring at Vanye, who was slightly taken aback by his outburst, only to awkwardly cough,

"Hmm, I-I guess you're right, Vanimo. I-I just wasn't expecting that you, of all people, would interested in such EXTREME sexual pleasures." Said Vanye softly as she stepped backward and glanced at Vanimo, who scoffed before averting his gaze with a faint blush.

"I-It didn't start out like that; at first, just looking at a nude woman was more than enough, b-but as the years went on, I slowly delved deeper into the world of sex." Replied Vanimo softly with a faint blush as he glanced at Vanye, who nodded, only to cough afterward, changing the topic.

"A-Anyways, this was everything I gathered." Said Vanye as she pointed to her sack, causing Vanimo to nod while he tossed his magazines into the sack, causing her face to twitch though she remained silent.

"Hmm, I'm really a fan of the others, though Bondage doesn't seem that bad. I wonder if Michelle would be interested." Said Alexander quietly as he handed the magazine to Vanimo while rubbing his chin with a thoughtful expression.

"Why not Yuki?" Asked Lazuli curiously as she glanced at Alexander, who rolled his eyes before scoffing.

"You've seen how Yuki and I make love; in some way or another, I almost always end up on the bottom while she's doing most of the moving. I highly doubt she'd be interested in Bondage." Replied Alexander with a shake of his head as he glanced at Lazuli, who raised an eyebrow before nodding in agreement.
