After this one it follows an interlewd, now usually I would put a link to patreon so you could read it (It was free there), but this is Scribble Hub.

 

And honestly, there is more explicit stuff around, so yeah, you will not need to go there to read it, it will be the next chapter here. Have fun.

They were at the park, why? Because Elizabeth couldn't think straight after what had happened just a few moments ago. It wasn't every day that someone else had suggested she spend extra time with Rossie after all.

 

Most of the people around her seemed to think of the girl as something dangerous, and yet... Someone finally had told her to go and spend extra time with her girlfriend!

 

So she would of course do just that!

 

Now...How does one go about spending lovey-dovey time with her girlfriend?

 

She wasn't quite sure, to be honest, she never had one before after all, nor had anyone prepared her to take care of a girlfriend, Mother mostly told her that she should never let her be put in second place and that she was the most important part of the relationship.

 

And as such, she should be pampered beyond belief and all the gifts should be brought upon her feet, should she desire something, the mere fact that she wanted it should be enough for her partner to go and acquire it, it mattered not if she ever vocalized or made even an attempt to acquire it.

 

So that meant that she was currently under a conundrum, she not only was a girlfriend (Or liked to think that Rossie saw her as one), but also had one...

 

So did that mean that she should be pampered beyond belief and pamper someone?

 

Did that mean that Rossie should fulfill every single whim she ever had, but at the same time, she (Elizabeth) should do the same to her lovely girlfriend?

 

No one ever explained it how this worked, was she supposed to act like the... and this hurt her to think, like the MALE of the relationship?

 

She...wasn't quite sure that she would be able to do such a thing, even if in another life she had been one, she didn't have the memories of such a life. So, really, she had no idea how to deal with this situation.

 

It didn't help that she never quite had a boyfriend before, no one ever had attempted to win her heart, and she did get a few chocolates on Valentine's Day here and there of course. But it was mostly those that you give as the cordial gift between friends and family.

 

Really, no one ever really cared for her, she did get a few confessions here and there, but most of the time those were withdrawn within 24 hours. Looking back on that, they probably got scared or something by her parent's minions.

 

"What are you thinking about Eli-Eli?" And there was that too, her lovely girlfriend asking her what she was thinking.

 

She was dressed in their uniform, but unlike the black sailor uniform with a golden finish that was standard, Rossie had pink decorations in the blazer that matched her hair and eyes.

 

She wasn't sure how she had managed to get away with customizing her uniform as much, even her hair wasn't tied in a standard ponytail as most students around but was without any hair tie on it.

 

"Thinking about how lovely you look of course." Answered Elizabeth.

 

And at that the other girl couldn't help but blush, even after telling her that same line almost a hundred times already, the effect was the same, Elizabeth wasn't sure if that was lovely or not.

 

On one hand, it meant that her feelings were being accepted and internalized as she hoped. On the other, it also meant that Rossie may not believe her the first time and so it took her by surprise.

 

But why wouldn't she believe her? Did the other girl have such a low esteem?

 

That couldn't be, she was a shining beacon of hope and love (For Elizabeth) that anyone could see it from everywhere in the city!

 

She was sure all the people Rossie healed (Mostly rich folks who paid for it) loved seeing and being cured by her!

 

"Smooth talking will get you nowhere." Grumbled Rossie after coming back to herself. "So? What are we doing back in the park?"

 

What were they doing here indeed.

 

She came here since she got told to [Go to the park or something], but she hadn't planned it that long. "I was thinking of going on a date." So she said the first thing that came to her mind.

 

Rossie seemed to stop breathing at that and turn her head slowly, she could almost hear the gears in the mind of the pink-haired girl slowly coming to a halt.

 

"Can we...go on a date?" Asked Rossie, "Don't you...Didn't you want to keep our...thing a secret?"

 

And so, Rossie decided to gut punch her from the left like that, what had made her think that? "Why do you even think I want to keep it a secret?" Asked Elizabeth.

 

She had never once thought about doing something so useless like trying to keep it a secret. Someone would see them going lovey-dovey at some point and the secret would be out of the bag, it wasn't even a secret to being with!

 

"I mean, you don't let me kiss you in public...Or fondle you...Or anything really..." Said Rossie while pulling Elizabeth to a bench nearby.

 

They had been walking in the park for a few minutes already and there weren't people around this part, "Unless we go to a desolate place like this that is." Said the pink-haired girl as she came closer to Elizabeth and nibbled at her ear.

 

"It's ticklish Rossie!" But even if that was a nice gesture from the pink-haired girl, it made Elizabeth think.

 

Had she really been like that?

 

She had professed her love of Rossie a few times in a public setting already, hadn't she?

 

She had said it with the nurse at the clinic!

 

Or not, she had implied it, or past Elizabeth had anyway...So that one doesn't count.

 

She had vague memories of saying it after summoning her Shadow Dragons...But most of her memories of that day were scrambled, so that one also didn't count...And besides, she was mana-deprived and wasn't thinking straight, god knows if she had professed her love of Rossie to a dog or a bush instead of people...

 

She had said it to Agatha...Maybe, she wasn't sure if they had taken her for granted...

 

"I haven't told anyone about us have I?" Elizabeth asked while looking at her girlfriend seriously.

 

What kind of girlfriend was she?

 

No, before that, was she really Rossie's Girlfriend if she couldn't even say her feelings for the other girl in public?

 

"I don't mind it Eli-Eli..." Rossie, her lovely, adorable, cute, and magnanimous Rossie was okay with it, "So long you let me stay by your side...I don't mind it at all."

 

She didn't seem to want much of her besides letting her stay around, and that hurt her, she didn't want that. She didn't want her lovely and beautiful Rossie to settle for so little, she wanted her happy, she wanted her loved. And she wanted for her to fight for that. Even if she didn't need to, even if she would give her all that she desired.

 

She wanted her to be Jealous of all of those that came around her, for her to make a stand and declare proudly her love...But...

 

She couldn't demand that now, could she? Not if she wasn't willing to do the same.

 

"You may not mind it, but I do." Elizabeth started saying, startling Rossie. "I love you Rosalina Singh, I have said that to you before."

 

"Yes, you have. At our former apartment, at our new apartment...You have even said that while sleeping." Rossie answered, "And I love you too, even if I don't deserve you."

 

"You deserve to be loved," Elizabeth quickly said, "But we will speak more about that later."

 

Really, she had so much work to do if her lovely Rossie was under the impression that she didn't deserve to be loved, "I'm sorry." But first, what was important was that she apologized.

 

"I didn't notice that I wasn't being clear to the people around us about my love for you." Elizabeth really hadn't noticed that, she had been too busy with other things.

 

Even if that wasn't an excuse for her behavior, "I was too focused on being accepted at the MPI, about the soul of Rena...About Mama and the silly restraints that the [System] imposed..." So much stuff was going around.

 

"I know Eli-Eli, you have-" And Rossie was at fault too, she was too permissive.

 

"No, those aren't excuses for this. No matter if they are important or not," Elizabeth stopped Rossie before she excused her, "You are what matters most."

 

She needed to make sure Rossie understood it, "I didn't want to speak about this not because I wanted to keep it a secret," She didn't want to think too much about this because she wanted to make things right.

 

"I wanted to speak with your parents first, to present myself to them." She had been taught that manners were important, and that if you wanted something to last, you needed to take the correct steps in the correct order.

 

It was part of the reason why her Papa had introduced himself to Grandma even though they didn't see each other eye to eye.

 

"You know they aren't my real parents." Rossie spoke while she thought about those steps. "My real parents ditched me and the Singh only adopted me for my magic heritage."

 

...She hadn't known that.

 

"But they gave you a place to live in, education, clothes, and food, they took care of you." Elizabeth wasn't sure if she would like them after meeting with them.

 

But she would still do so, they had raised Rossie into the girl she loved if nothing else, so they must be good at something...

 

"Besides, how am I supposed to ask the hand of the girl I love if I don't meet their parents?" That was the crux of it really, Elizabeth, for all that her Papa spoiled her, he had also raised her to be a strict girl for rules.

 

He probably wanted to make sure that she presented any boyfriends to them before anything, and so it was meaningless now that she had gotten herself a girlfriend.

 

But she would still follow that, she would present herself to Rossie's parents and profess her love to her, ask for the hand of the girl, and then...And then...

 

"Getting cold feet now that we are closer to meeting my Parents?" Rossie said at her side.

 

Was she getting cold feet? No.

 

"Don't try to distract me Rossie, what would you need to believe that I am serious about us." Elizabeth said turning the conversation back to the main topic at hand.

 

Usually it would be Rossie the one to keep the conversation on topic, but now here she was trying to derail it using the insecurities Elizabeth had about such a meeting.

 

"Hmm....Can I fondle you in public?" Rossie asked with a smirk on her face.

 

Lood!

 

THIS GIRL IS TOO LOOD!

 

"Rossie, be serious." Elizabeth said with a scowl on her face, this wasn't turning out to be a very romantic date, was it?

 

"Fineeee, what about a Kiss?" Rossie asked.

 

A kiss? That was it? Hadn't she kissed her already?

 

Like....Oh...OOOOOH, she hadn't.

 

Not often, actually their only serious one had been after she woke up right? And that one hadn't been very romantic either.

 

So she only needed to kiss her, easy, actually very easy, and it was more of a reward actually, Elizabeth only needed to move forward, join her lips with the pink-haired adorable creature in front of her, and...

 

And...

 

And...

 

How does one kiss a girl?!?!?

 

The first time she had been mostly groggy, strung high about managing to wake up, and probably under the effect of some drugs...Afterward, she hadn't really kissed the other girl, had she?

 

Not consciously, not with the full intent of kissing her for the sake of kissing her, any kiss between the first one and now had been more of an [On the moment] thing, if there had been any that is.

 

Right now she couldn't remember them, she wasn't able to bring the information to the top of her head, right now she was lost on the lips of Rossie and her pure pink eyes that looked at her expectantly.

 

"Well?" Asked the other girl, "Will you leave me waiting?"

 

"I mean, don't you want a public or something?" What the hell was she even saying at this point?

 

"Do you want public?" Rossie asked back with a smirk on her face.

 

The other girl raised her hand and caressed her cheek, she could get lost in this kind of small gesture she did from time to time, "I mean, I don't want to share these moments so no...I'd rather not." Elizabeth wasn't even sure what she was saying at this point.

 

"I don't want to share you either Eli-Eli." Rossie said, then stopped for a moment to think, "You call me Rossie instead of Lina or Rose, but I call you with a pet name akin to a child."

 

That she did, "so?" Elizabeth asked back, still lost in what or how should she move forward, should she hug Rossie? Should she go for the neck? The ear? The hand? The chest? The tummy? Where should her hands go?

 

"I will call you something more personal, something only us will have, what about...Elizabeth...Eliza? No, Beth? Too old, Liz?...." Rossie started going around her name and probably nicknames. "Ellie?Betty?Lizzy?"

 

Maybe she should go for the face with one hand while the other went for the waist? That way she couldn't escape.

 

Yes, that was a good plan.

 

"What do you think about being called Lizzy?" Asked Rossie unaware of what Elizabeth was going through.

 

"I..." Elizabeth in the end decided to follow her heart, so without thinking too much she moved forward, her hands turned into a vicious grip (She hugged her) that didn't want to let her prize escape, they wanted to crush (Hug) her victim.

 

Her mouth turned into a ravenous dragon that wanted to devour (She kissed) her victim whole, the other girl wasn't even aware of the precarious situation she was in!

 

Her lips joined and for an instant, every cliche about romance stories her mother used to mock seemed to become true, time almost seemed to stop, and she could [Taste] Rossie.

 

No, she could [Taste] what made [Rossalina Singh] who she was, her mana seemed to want to assimilate deeper with the other girl, and her [Soul] seemed to want to clamp into the other girl and not let go.

 

The invisible thread that joined them transformed from a thread into a chain, it enveloped the other girl [Heart] and turned into a [Lock]. She got the feeling that should she wish, no one would be able to take Rossie from her.

 

And she liked it, maybe she should look closer at that [Feeling]?

 

"Mmmh " But Rossie was so cute. Her [Taste], her [Smell], her [Presence], her [Mana]...

 

Her [Soul], her beating [Heart], she could hear the melody of what made Rossalina Singh into her lovely Rossie, they stood there joined by the lips for what felt like an eternity.

 

Only having to separate as she started to feel light on the head, and suddenly was painfully aware that she needed to breathe, pesky O2 needs.

 

"....now what?" Asked Elizabeth after getting her breath back, both figuratively and not.

 

Rossie seemed to be still on the clouds as her eyes seemed to be swimming in bliss, was that normal?

 

"Rossie?" Elizabeth asked the other girl, who seemed to awake from her stupor.

 

She seemed to recollect herself, but her eyes betrayed her internal turmoil, they were shining the heart motif again, "Can I have another?" asked sheepishly the pink-haired girl.

 

So adorable, "Yes." Answered Elizabeth as she closed in, this time, however, her hands weren't busy hugging the other girl, instead they traveled through the other girl's body.

 

They explored slowly at first, but quickly they went around her, traversing her back, going around her, a small shudder went across the other girl as her hands explored her. She wanted to rip open this girl's clothes, she wanted to explore every nook and cranny.

 

She wanted to [Ravage] her, to [Devour] her to [Own] Rossie, perhaps she would.

 

"Let's go back home Rossie," Elizabeth said.

 

"*grunt*" And Rossie answered with an affirmative grunt, the other girl seemed to be high on something, but she didn't care, not at the moment, she had more important things to think about right now.

 

She needed to return home fast, she wasn't sure if she would be able to contain herself, she [Needed] to release these instincts, and she needed to [EAT].

 

But they had walked far, far away from anyone who could even see them, did she need to go back?

 

She could do what she [WANTED] here after all, but no. The location was important, she wasn't a savage, was there anything she could do?

 

Rossie wasn't of any help right now, not like she was, perhaps her mana was the answer? It felt...different, focusing inwardly she felt the presence of her shadows, only something...was different.

 

Something within her was stirring, she didn't have time to look for that, since she was in a hurry, instead, she called for the first thing that seemed to be what she needed at the moment.

 

"[Shadow Step]" And felt the mana resonate within her as one of the skills she used to have answered the call, it was one of her favorite skills too. Something she hadn't been able to call.

 

The shadows around her stirred and something... different happened, the maw of a shadow dragon opened under both girls, this wasn't something strange in itself, as her shadows had a tendency to follow a draconic theme most often than not.

 

No, what was different was that this one was more...Evil looking than usual, and its eyes weren't blue or azure as most of her recent aspects of her skill had turned, but it resembled the red of the before.

 

She didn't have enough time to think about it as the maw closed around both girls, covering them in a murky thick shadow material, and like that, both girls disappeared from the park.

 

No evidence of their presence remained, besides the disturbed environment they occasioned, and some remnants of mana.
