Afternoon.
“…”
“…”
The two were now dressed but the scent of what they did still lingered on their skin.
“So…that wa-“
“S-sorry!” Ai said out loud while bowing. “T-this feeling grew like a fire a-and I just kissed you thinking the fire will go out b-but it just grew out of control and um, um…” her face was red as a tomato trying to find the words to say next.
“Well…I was surprised by how sudden it was.” He said slowly walking up to her.
“U-um I-I’m sorry again!” she bowed again. “It just exploded and then I couldn’t stop!” She looked back up to find Cirrus in front of her. “!”
“There is no need to be sorry, I also couldn’t stop once the ball got rolling…So the next time it happens I hope it isn’t so sudden, alright?”
“R-right!” she said blushing.
“Good, now shall we pack up? We have a long way to the surface. Oh if you do get um…you know.” He pats his abdomen. “I’ll respect your decision if you-“
“I-I um!” Her face was bright red. She turned her gaze from him. “I…um…t-took the pill b-before…”
“…Oh?” He made a slight grin. “Did you…plan on this to happen?”
“Mmm!!!” Ai knew he was teasing her. “It was…” She was looking away with a flush face. “A…p-possibility!”
“My your really are more bolder huh? Well let’s finish packing and get climbing, I don’t feel safe with a sly fox here.”
“It wasn’t planned it just happened!!” she shouted.
“Help! Help! A fox is going to eat me!!” he shouted running away with a teasing smile.
“Cirrus!!” Ai chased after him full blush.
After everything was packed and stored in Cirrus’s shadow, they began to walk their way back.
“…Um Cirrus.”
“What?” he said looking forward.
“You’re not gonna write a sing about me, are you? Lord Susanoo said bards sing about their loves.”
Cirrus stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Ai.
“…Why would I write a song about you?” He said in a disingenuous tone.
He could see the anger start to flare up in her eyes. It amused him a bit.
“I’m joking, when the song I already made about you should only be sung to you and only you, do you wish to hear it? I wrote it when you first decided to steal my lips.” Cirrus said in a calm and charming voice, along with a slight mischievous smile that easily made Ai be taken aback.
“R-really!?”
“No, it was actually on the way here.” he reached into his shadow and pulled out his guitar. “Unless your too embarrassed to hear it?”
“N-no! I’m not embarrassed!”
Cirrus strums a few cords and clears his throat.
2 days later back on the surface. Both Cirrus and Ai went back to their respected homes.
Walking through the back Cirrus enters his home.
“I’m back.” He said as he walks to his room.
“H-hey Cirrus um…” said Nox. “You and Ai um…you guys didn’t…do something right? Our connection kinda cut off suddenly one night after a sudden um...surge of emotions."
He could see the nervousness of Nox’s face, he glanced over at Circe, and she looked away turning her focus on the book she was reading.
“…I’m not going to answer that.”
“Now hold on.” Lenoa said. “Come here.”
“What?” he said coming down towards Lenoa.
“Lower.”
He lowers himself and she grabs his face.
“Hmmm…sniff! Sniff!” she pulls back his face and stares at him some more. “So you’re a man now huh! Ki-hihihihihihihihi!!!!! You two owe me 20 thousand Valis!”
“L-Lenoa!!” both Circe and Nox shouted.
"You guys placed fucking bets!!"
"It's not what it looks like!" shouted Circe.
"No it's exactly what it looks like. Me being 40k richer!" Lenoa said with a big smile.

"Come on don't be mad Cirrus!" said Nox. "Your a big man now!"
“I’m going to my room! I'm not gonna deal with your shit!!” he shouted quickly going up the stairs and slams his door.
“It’s a good thing Lili is out getting stuff for us Lenoa.” Said Circe.
“Yes, her young ears are to innocent to learn of adult matters…Ki-hihihihi!! What a rare expression he made didn’t he Nox!”
“Hm…” she said with a warm smile. “He acted like his age…guess love does that to people…we are going to keep teasing him some more right?”
“Of course dearie!”
“Sigh…I’m so sorry Cirrus.” Circe said under her breath.
“Oh by the way!! The Astraea, Loki, Freya, Ganesha, and Susanoo Familia wanna talk to you!!” shouted Nox.
“What!! Why!?” Cirrus shouted from his room.
“They said they wished to talk more in detail about the people you guys fought!”
Back at the Susanoo Familia’s home.
Sneaking in Ai jumps over the wall.
“Oof! Now to-“
“Ai.”
“!!!”
A chill runs down her back as she turns to see Kushida.
“U-um hi Lady Kushida!” she said with a smile.
“Ai, Lord Susanoo and Lady Kaguya have been worried sick about you.” She said in a calm, stern, and worried tone.
“I-I was in the dungeon! W-with Cirrus…”
Kushida tried to look Ai in the eyes, but she averted her gaze. She walked up to her and held her head in place to look at her.
“…Ai…what are you not telling me?” she used a sterner voice as her eyes were beginning to frow and narrow.
“N-nothing! It has nothing to do with-“
“You think I wouldn’t notice?”
“Eh?”
Ai made a surprised expression as a feeling of embarrassment began to rise.
“Ai, I have known you since you were 5 years old, I know you more than your own family. I have seen you grow from a small child who couldn’t even hold a sword properly to a beautiful young girl and now…”
“Gulp!”
Kushida made a gentle smile as she hugs her.
“A beautiful woman.”
“Lady Kushida-“
“You can call me Kushida. I would have prefer if you were more mature but in these times I guess growing up quickly was inevitable.”
“So um…could I go now?”
“No.” She grabbed her tightly. “You must tell me how it went. I am a bit curious how it went for you?”
“W-w-w-what!?!?” she shouted.
“WHAT!!!”
From the bushes came the rest of the Susanoo Familia who were all female.
“Ai-chan you graduated before me!” said Kamu.
“Our little Ai has grown up!” said Maka.
“So you got to tell us everything!” said Samira.
“U-um!!” Ai’s head began to swirl around before Kushida held her.
“Don’t worry! So long as you tell us everything that is! Oh and before I forget the Familia’s you spoken to wish to hear a more detailed telling of the two you faced.”
“I told them as detailed I could!”
“Saying you fought a man in black armor and a woman in a black veil is not the most detailed of things.”
“And also we want to hear your boyfriends account as well.” said Kamu.
“W-what!?!?”
