"Are you really sure we can't do anything else for you two?" Aster questioned as he along with an entourage followed Gili and Declan to the main port of the headquarter.

That consisted of Kite, Aura and surprisingly Saya Sasayama, which Gili felt was weird since she had barely spoken to the girl. However, for whatever reason they all wanted to send her off regardless.

"I am sure" Gili replied as she bowed respectfully to them all "Sure, your offer to train here does sound interesting, but I... I am only 16. I want to live a simpler life and finish school. That is what my mother wanted before... she passed away".

"And I will protect her" Declan replied dutifully as his eyes locked with Kite's "We don't need anyone else! We are strong enough on our own!".

"Yes, yes we get it. She is yours Declan Akaba" Aster said and sighed "We got that message when Harmonics got activated. We will not send you back. I promise".

"But our offer always stands lady Gili" Aura replied with a smile "Even if it is 10 years for now, or perhaps 300. You will always be welcome here".

"Wait what? 300? My life span should be ended by then?" Gili questioned confused.

"Don't worry about it" Declan then suddenly reassured as his hand intervened with hers "This oracle has a crazy sense of humor".

"Eh? You got me Declan Akaba. It was a joke" Aura said and chuckled mysteriously "Just remember to keep it in your pants or you might make her pregnant...".

"Hu?!" Gili uttered rather shocked and turned completely red by that thought alone.

"Shut it! I warn you!" Declan then uttered as he turned around on the heel and left, and as he did, Gili had to follow him because their hands was entwined. However, she was sure she could see the tiniest blush on his face as he had turned around.


"Declan? Declan? Can I ask you something?" Gili asked as they were walking in nature towards Paradise city and their home. That thought alone made her shiver.

"Of course. Ask away my Gili" Declan answered as he stopped up and looked at her.

"Okay" Gili mused as she took in a deep breath "What is going to happen when we get home? To my place I mean?".

"Um I thought that was easy. We go back to the life we had before all this happened" Declan replied rather confused "You did want a simpler life, right?".

"Yes of course!" Gili uttered right away. She then bit her lip "But... that was not what I meant Declan. I... I meant... what is going to happen between us when we get home? I... you confessed, and I did and... I need to know what that means".

As she had said those words, she could see Declan's eyes fluctuate between her and the road ahead. He was clearly making up his mind in order to give her the right answer.

"Well, what do you want that happens Gili?" He then asked "You are the contractor. You have the power over me. Not that it matters to me. I would toss away that freedom to be able to be with you in a heartbeat, but it is you who holds the key to the chains. You decide what I am to you".

"Even if that means... we should just stay friends?" Gili questioned slowly.

"Even if stayed friends forever. I promise" Declan reassured "We are contracted. You can degrade me to a demon servant for all I care. Just let me be with you...".

"Then... then you are my boyfriend for now on" Gili interrupted with, making Declan stare at her in disbelief. She continued "But we are talking this slow. Very, very slow. You are a demon and... temptation is one of your powers".
