Hero of Harmony (Continued)

Chapter 286: Stolen First Kiss

Thanks to Vanye comparing my chest to her breasts, which were present to begin, though since I was a gentleman, I kept quiet as I put my shirt back on and reached into my space pouch as I squatted down and fed it to Vanimo, causing him to energetically leap onto his two feet. However, he didn't get very high as I pushed him back to the ground by his shoulder while reaching into my space pouch again, retrieving a special belt with a crystal on its buckle.

"This is a gravity belt; it can increase the weight of anything up to 100 times its original weight." Said Alexander as he faintly smirked at Vanimo before wrapping it around his waist and injecting mana into it, causing it to ever-so-silently hum to life.

I didn't stupidly overdo it and set him to the maximum; I only increased it five times, and it seemed perfect, given that he showed a slight struggle with just standing.

"S-So you want me to do push-ups like this?" "No. You'll wear this constantly from now on; no matter what you do, whether it's using the bathroom or making love with Talis, that belt will remain active." Remarked Vanimo and Alexander, respectively, as the former's expression turned aghast while the latter wickedly smirked.

"Hehehe, now run along, Vanimo." Added Alexander with evil laughter as he effortlessly picked up Vanimo and tossed him outside the room before closing the door.

"C-Can I at least get my clothes!?" Exclaimed Vanimo from the other side of the door as he constantly banged on it.

"Hmm, what do you think Vanye? I'm sure with all the 'sleep' you've been getting lately, you'll give me an educated response." Asked Alexander with a sly grin while glancing at Vanye, who wickedly grinned, only to sigh afterward.

"Haa, I can't do that to him. Can you give him his clothes, please?" Replied Vanye softly with a shake of her head as she glanced at Alexander, who nodded before opening the door and throwing his clothes into his face.

"T-Thanks!" Said Vanimo with gratitude as he quickly put on his clothes before walking away, his breath slightly laborious from his increased weight.

Dusting my hands off, I turned and glanced at Vanye, only to us [Blink] as I appeared behind her, quickly removing her helmet before reappearing in my same spot while she gave me a look of annoyance.

"Can you not? I like wearing that." "And I like gazing at your beautiful face." Remarked Vanye and Alexander, respectively, as the former blandly looked at the latter, who was twirling the helmet on his finger,

"... Of course, you could always try and steal it back from me, but that'll be impossible." Added Alexander with a mischievous grin, causing Vanye's eye to twitch in annoyance, though he had succeeded in provoking her competitive nature.

"C'mon, Alex, I'm not about to play some childish–" Said Vanye blandly as she slowly approached Alexander with an outstretched hand before swiftly leaping at him with immense speed, only to grasp nothing but air.

"Oh, Vanye, Vanye, Vanye. I'm quite proficient at gauging people's intentions, along with their personality and feelings; a sneak attack like that isn't going to work at all." Said Alexander in mock disappointment as he placed a hand atop his chest while his faintly glowing eyes observed Vanye's figure.

Eyeing Vanye, who flashed me a faint smirk, she suddenly lunged at me once more, this time faster than before, yet, I waited until she was just inches away from touching me, and only then did I blink away, appearing right in front of the door where she was previously standing.

"Ho, now this view from behind is quite something; I never knew Elve's could have such big... Bottoms." Said Alexander with a playful smirk as he glanced at Vanye's butt while lying right through his teeth.
