From his story of the past, 9 months passed quickly. This basically because initially they wanted to make a small home but, with the materials and the vastly space itself, they decided to build a manor instead.
Their work, now progressively in its main process, wasn't that hard because with the abilities of Qienta as an Ancestor Gods, build a manor was easy for her even if she wasn't the Creation Ancestor. But, differently from him who could create anything, she was much slower and can't product "unique" items. But Ethan didn't care because the only thing he wanted to do was create this manor.
He actually helped her with the style of the Manor, the rooms and other things. But, the thing they created the first, were a bedroom and a living room.
After another month, the Manor finally was completed, something that greatly excited Qienta but, at the same time she felt sad because her time with Ethan was about to end.
Although it was the case, Qienta hardened her heart because she wanted to enjoy her last 2 months with Ethan at the fullest. Ethan, in all this time actually m.a.t.u.r.ed a lot from the boy he was before entering the cycle of death. Even if he wasn't sure what he would do when his memories will be wiped out, he was sure he will likely become the same person as now.
In their time together, Qienta explained him a lot of things about his second soul, even if he will forget them all. She told him that, if he could actually create a body for his second soul, she could manifest herself for small periods of time when the other soul slept.
This surprised Ethan a great deal, in fact, he jumped from the sofa he was sitting and immediately asked
"Wait! Couldn't that mean you can just seal my memories, reincarnate me and then unseal them?!?"
Qienta, at his words shook her head as she said
"Even if i could, i decided to seal your memories and watch you from here. Don't think wrong as i wished i could simply do so and stay with you but, the moment you will awaken your memories, wouldn't you just stop caring about the world itself? I want you to explore the world of Danmachi and live your life as you pleased, not only chasing this old goddess."
Ethan wanted to argue at her that this wouldn't be the case but, with his feelings for her growing so much, he really couldn't refute her words. Even though Danmachi was good, it couldn't be compared to his love for her right now.
This actually remembered him that he will be interested in numerous girls in Danmachi. This scared Ethan a great deal because, if he had awakened his memories before consolidating his relationsh.i.p.s a lot, he could leave them all, only interested in finding a method to reunite with Qienta. He immediately thought of Hestia as her crying face directly hit his heart rather hard. He thought about Ais, Syr, Haruhime, and all the girls he was fond of from the anime crying for his actions.
Qienta felt that Ethan was thinking about sad things and thought it was the fact that they would be separated soon. But, against her expectations, he sighed and a teasing smile immediately formed on his face as he stated
"Even if you are old i don't mind ~"
Qienta, was aware of the fact that Ethan was changing a lot during his time here but, as she didn't mind such things, just stared at him before sitting on him as she said
"This old goddess will help release a bit of your urges ~"
---
After that discussion, the time of Ethan and Qienta was about to end as the second soul would awaken in only 7 hours.
Ethan, was having an intense s.e.x with Qienta. They enjoyed the act itself and the gentle method type the most because they felt the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e of the body combined with the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e of the mind but, even so, Qienta was determined to try all kind of poses and habits, something Ethan actually didn't accept to. He clearly stated that, she could do almost anything but transform him in an M, BDSM and extreme things like that.
Qienta wasn't even affected by this because she thought it was for the best. Even if the feeling of being 'dominated' wasn't that bad, Qienta wasn't an M.
"For you, i will remain myself after you seal my memories?" asked Ethan
Qienta, immediately turned to him as she said
"I think you are thinking so much about things that couldn't have a direct answer, Try to think about giving an answer for yourself, if you didn't have your memories, what would you do?"
Ethan immediately found an answer for himself as, nobody knew him more than himself.
"I will be happy to be in Danmachi but, probably, i will think only of what can help to reach the top in the fastest way. After reaching it, i will 'expect' that girls would come to me without me doing anything…"
He felt a bit of a sc.u.m at that moment because if he had his memories, he would actually have crashed these thoughts in an instant before trying to court the women he wanted in his life without a hesitation.
He knew the girls of the novel so much that he felt heartbreaking to treat them in this way, but soon he realized he couldn't do anything for them, he only hoped that someone could help him see the right path he needed to follow otherwise he doesn't even dare to imagine his emotions when his memories will inevitably return.
Qienta, realized he was again troubling himself on things he hadn't control over, so she kissed his nose with an amused smile on her face before stating
"I know you won't end up like that, you know, that second soul is tied to you but i have given her a personality, otherwise she would probably be a stupid doll who answered your questions only with a 'yes' and a 'no', That's why I never tried to make a soul to 'try' things, because not only did they feel like children to me, but they are programmed by me, even if they have their own thoughts. It's truly a boring existence, but the soul with you will experience all sorts of things by your side and this makes me really happy".
But this wasn't the end of her speech because she muttered something that Ethan couldn't hear.
'Even if i'm a little jealous…'
Ethan, understood that this soul will be extremely useful to him, but he knew that he will treat her like a classic System in the novels he had read in the past. This was somewhat sad because they were one and the same explained by Qienta but, he couldn't do anything about it because when he will lose his memories, only appearances will matter for him.
"Well, i hope that I will learn soon enough about her true nature because, as you said, not only she is part of me, but she has a personality, and she could change on her own. I think you 'programmed' her to never betray me, Am i correct?"
Qienta, hearing his words, laughed lightly with an amused smile on her face before she replied
"Yes. She will never betray you and, if you can't manage things, she will act on her own. I would never entrust you to someone for eternity without having programmed her personality myself".
Upon her affirmation, the stars in her eyes glowed as she stared at him with the most serious gaze she gave him from the moment he reached this place. He knew that most of her actions were directed at his well-behalf but, seeing this display Ethan couldn't contain himself as he started to kiss her neck with a hungry look in his eyes.
"... Another round?"
At his words, Qienta smiled as she let out a hot sigh before clinging on him.
"With p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e".

After their second round, 30 minutes were left while pulling the p.e.n.i.s out of her v.a.g.i.n.a before starting to calm down. He thought that if his memories were sealed, and he found himself in an excited state before entering the world, things would become very problematic. Then, resisting the temptation to continue what they were doing, he lay down beside her while their hands naturally intertwined.
He calmed down after 10 minutes as he took the blankets and, wrapping them between themselves, he embraced her as he stroked her back. During this year he understood that he was especially fond of stroking the back and the hair of Qienta because they were incredibly soft.
The thought of a certain goddess with black hair and deep blue eyes entered his mind because he knew that if he will have a relationship with Hestia, he will actually become addicted to her hair immediately because without her petals that tied her hair in two twin tails, she had hair that had actually made him to review the parts were she wasn't wearing them a few times.
Qienta, decided not to discuss the fact that he was thinking about someone else during their time together because, although he was doing it, he was embracing her so firmly that she felt nothing could harm her, even if previously it was exactly the same.
Thus, after 19 minutes passed, Qienta immediately teleported him in the place he was after his death and, even if tears were trying to find their way on her eyes, Qienta hardened her heart as she sent him the last thought he could hear of her.
'I love you dearly, my Ethan, farewell…'
20 seconds before his memories would wipe out, Ethan shouted in the void
"I love you too! I will return one day, memories or not! My heart will always love you!"
"Oh, Mystic Lights, Be my will, bind your target and seal his memories!"
At her words, a magical light shot towards the position of Ethan at the speed of light as his memories were being sealed at equal speed.
When the 10 seconds passed, she watched as Ethan entered the 'cycle of reincarnation' with a moist on her eyes.
So, after he was completely gone, she fell to the floor of the now raimbow-like room created by Ethan and herself as she said to herself
"Find your happiness in the mortal world, my love. Should someone steal your life, i will give the one who killed you an equally cruel way of dying".

(I have a discord server. discord.gg/cpVr5X8 If you enter it, you can choose one of Ethan's future powers from the pool I created, but that's not all! On the server, you can see the reference on some things that will be present in the story! Right now you can freely see some things but I advise you to read the story further before seeing them otherwise you'll get spoilers!)
(A/N: This was one of the reasons why Qienta was so worried of his reincarnation because, if someone kills him, she will not forgive anyone, even if it means erase their soul completely from the cycle of reincarnation. This is also the thing that frightened everyone who tried to have a relationship with her because literally no one is more powerful than she is.)
