"Sylphy? S-Sylphy?! Are you okay?!"

Without realizing, I ended looking like I became paralyzed, I almost wasn\'t even breathing.

"Ugh… Y-Yeah, that surprised me a little bit." I sighed.

"What… surprised you?" Aquarina was fidgeting her fingers.

"Ah, well… Nothing." I didn\'t really wanted to make her feel like that kiss was not something she should had done.

"It was the kiss…?" She asked.

"No… It… The kiss was nice." I said.

"Really?" She asked, her eyes shining.

"Of course, we always kiss in the cheeks when we greet, right?" I asked.

"But to me… they\'re more special than a greeting." She said.

"Is that so…?" I asked.

"Uwah… I can\'t do this…" Aquarina quickly covered her face, as she grew as red as a tomato, steaming coming out of her ears.

"Ahaha, don\'t sweat it. I was going to take a bath right now and then go ask papa if he can fix my sword. Remember that it broke?" I asked.

"Oh yeah! Your sword broke…" Sighed Aquarina. "If it wasn\'t for that Celeste…"

Aquarina had some sort of grudge against Celeste now. I mean, I can understand her anger against her, she did a lot of bad things.

"Hey calm down now…" I said.

"Yeah I am calm, I just…" Aquarina crossed her arms. "I dislike her. No, I hate her! I dislike how you forgave her so easily too… It just doesn\'t make any sense to me. She did so many terrible things!"

"And what? Do you expect me to kill her or something?" I sighed.

"N-No, not that… Not you…" She said.

"Aquarina calm down, this is now how your parents raised you, right?" I sighed.

She was still young and propense to her own emotions, I had to calm her down.

I hugged her and gave her a kiss in her cheek.

"Promise me that you won\'t act like this in front of her, okay? At least… don\'t threaten her or something. I know she did fucked up stuff, I am also mildly angered at her. But this wasn\'t completely my decision. My parents, and your parents, also decided to forgive her and give her a second chance." I said. "Mary, Mist, and the other kids in the orphanage… They all care so much for her."

"I know, I know…" Aquarina said grumpily. "Y-Your face is a bit too close…"

"Ah…"

I stepped back a bit and then I extended my hand at her, asking for a handshake.

"Okay?"

"Okay… fine."

Aquarina held my hand as she seemed slightly reluctant but at the end decided to not… well, I don\'t know. I bet she\'ll still treat Celeste angrily. It took her years to get used to Zack. Aquarina is like this I guess.

"Maybe I am the idiot here I guess." I sighed. "But I kind of want to give her a second chance. She might had done a lot of bad things, but she was a victim for the most of her life."

"Hmm…." Aquarina sighed. "But Sylphy, if you had gone through the same things as her, would you had ever done the same things she did?"

"Ah…" I sighed. "Well, maybe no…"

"See? There\'s a difference between people!" Said Aquarina. "Some are just good and others bad at the end."

"No, no, don\'t look at life in such an outlook, Aquarina. Not everything is just white and black, everything is just gray. Sometimes light gray or dark gray, but most of the time people is too complex to make them into mere "villains" and "the good ones" that\'s just stuff from fairy tales. Hell, even the Demon King might had have his reasons to do the stuff he did." I said.

"But that doesn\'t mean that because someone has reasons to do what they do, they should be let to do as they please, right?" Asked Aquarina while crossing her arms.

"Y-Yeah, I know! And we stopped Celeste, right? We stopped her, and we won\'t allow her to do anything stupid again. With the watch of the heroes here, I doubt she\'ll ever try anything funny. And well… I kind of know her more deeply now." I said.

"M-More deeply?!" Aquarina asked shocked. "S-Sylphy don\'t tell me you like them older than you?! Ah, it must be those big things she got in her chest right?! I-I\'ll grow them when I grow up too!"

Aquarina completely took it the other way around, talking a lot of nonsense.

"Eeeh?! W-What are you even talking about?" I asked while raising an eyebrow. "I don\'t… like her as if platonically or something. I am just saying I know her better… You see…"

I ended telling Aquarina about that dream where I stopped the Evil Gods.

"WHAT?! You can do that?!"

"It… was a bit unexpected but I was able to."

"How?!"

"I\'ve got a curse that Furoh had, I stole it from him and it somehow mutated, giving me the power to absorb darkness. This is how I defeated Lilith\'s soul and how I damaged the gods\' projections so they were scared and ran away. I broke her divine protections from them too, and even a demon spirit thing that was parasitizing her soul."

"You did so much for her! She better be grateful!"

"Yeah, that she\'s alive doesn\'t mean we\'ll give her everything. I want of her an official apology, and probably to lower her head and kneel before our parents, to ask for forgiveness for the stuff she did… It might be a bit tyrannical but… I think it is a good way for her to understand what everyone has done for her, right?"

"Yeah, I agree! We\'ll boss her around and make her life hell, hehehe…"

"W-Wait Aquarina, that\'s not what I meant…"

It seemed that Aquarina was a lot like her mother and might even become a bully.
