Chapter 406 - Planning

-----

I had already decided to ask her, as it was better to be direct with her, I know I can be a bit rough in the edges, but she had been with me for some time now, I am sure that she can understand me.

"Abyss, did you wanted to take a bath together with me?" I wondered.

"Eh? Eeeeeeh?!"

Abyss suddenly reacted outside of my expectations. She looked at me with surprise, growing redder with every second that passed. What with that reaction? I don't remember her reacting like this so commonly as of now.

"T-This is… I-I guess? It is… okay… I-if you wanted… But… I… I didn't meant that when I said that before…" She said.

"Huh? Then what did you meant?" I wondered.

"Chaos… H-Have you been thinking about this little thing all this time?" She asked.

"Yeah." I said.

"Hahaha… I told you to forget about it…" She said as she pouted and looked at me while furrowing her eyebrows.

"But I got curious…" I said. "You're the one in fault for saying things. You know that I like to investigate things I don't understand."

"Right… You're a very curious man…" She sighed. "Well, okay… What I meant was… D-Doing… L-Love…"

"Love?" I asked. "But don't we love each other already?"

"Yes but… T-This is another type of love… Some people call it… Erm… Uwah, this is embarrassing… I am such a pervert…" She cried.

"You're not a pervert." I said. "Just tell me."

"L-Like doing… sex." She said. Abyss suddenly started to generate steam out of her body, and her body color changed from pale bluish gray to red like a tomato. I had never seen her so red; does she has a color-change skill?

"Sex? Ah… You mean the thing some people do to make children? Oh, so that was it… Ah… I believe that's a bit… Erm… Oh, I have never thought about doing it, but it is… We are supposed to…?" I wondered.

"No! Please don't think about it… Dear, it is a thing for the future, I would never force you to do anything." She said. "I also don't want to do it yet, so don't worry."

"So that was it. It is more reassuring now that I know… Sorry for lacking common sense sometimes, I am still trying my best to learn more." I said.

"No, no, don't worry about it! I love you however you are…" She said. "Mooch."

Abyss approached my face, as we kissed for a bit, her lips were soft and warm, kissing her always made me feel like I was relaxed, in another world away from problems. I know it was momentary, but I was able to feel her emotions very strongly. There was something this intense heat I wasn't able to completely explain properly, but perhaps that's also love, and "passion" something that might give into what she talked just now about sex. Perhaps I need to build up this small heat into something that I can use to give her love in the other way she wanted.

"I love you more than anything..." She said with a smile, she had a slight mischievousness to such a smile, but I was already entranced into her beautiful smile to even think about other thing than her.

"I also love you…" I said with a smile. "But now we should finish breakfast."

"R-Right! Sorry for delaying it… Hahaha…" Abyss giggled apologetically, as we enjoyed our food.

After we were done eating, the rest of my team had gathered around the large hall inside my manor, where we have decided to plan out what to do, basing it off in the map we have made of the big city where Valen and the other servants he has, alongside the frog and Nesephise are. I have scanned them some time ago using Abyss ability to travel between spatial layers to not be detected and using some clones with it with little power to them, so they couldn't be detected by energy-detecting items or skills.

Like that, we scanned the entire city and it was possible to show it in one of these holographic artifacts that register entire landscapes into 3DS Models, using this, even the giant frog sitting in front of the city was shown to be there, it was an incredibly detailed 3D Map. I could do this with my own Skills but it would be difficult to share it with others, but these artifacts are very useful at mapping things and showing it to others, perhaps even more detailed than my own Skills? Technology sometimes can even surpass Skills in some cases, which is incredible.

"Wow, this is pretty detailed! Look, there's the frog there!" Said Boxxy, pointing at the giant frog.

"Boxxy, shut it, don't be so loud, this is an important and serious meeting." Said Yuki, as she reprimanded her friend.

"O-Oh, my bad…" Said Boxxy.

"Don't worry." I said. "Anyways, as you can see, we have scanned the entire city we'll attack. This is the place where everything will begin, and I believe I will be using all of your help in this case, all of you will come in handy one way or another, so I was planning in organizing between teams according to the roles we'll take in the battle…"

The city showed a strong barrier made of divine energy around the entire city as well, they probably are worried about any external attack from the survivors of that battle, and erected such a barrier in case my allies tried to come and take back Nesephise from them, all while also protecting the mortals inside, which are quite vulnerable to our attacks.

"As you can see there are two big obstacles we have to come across…" Said Abyss. "The giant frog mother and then the barrier… We have to somehow find a way to sneak into the city without the frog detecting us, all while also finding a way to either ignore the barrier or deactivate it."
