Soul expansion.

"Let me get into your body too!"

"... What?"

Hearing what Rielfeilm said, Riot's head went blank, trying to process the meaning of her words.

*Grin*

However, Riot doesn't have that much time. Widening her smile, Rielfeilm also got up from the bed slowly and began to walk to Riot's presence.

"... You don't have to worry, It will end quickly~"

Saying that, Rielfeilm also began to let out a few small laughs full of hidden meaning from her lips.

It didn't take long for Rielfeilm to finally be right in front of Riot.

*Grab*

"Fufufu~..." Holding Riot's shoulders with her hands, Rielfeilm began to bring her face closer to Riot's face.

And, just before the distance between the faces of the two of them reached zero, Riot finally understood the meaning of Rielfeilm's words before him.

Ah...

Seeing Rielfeilm's beautiful face that was right in front of him and even began to get closer and closer every second, Riot began to feel that this really shouldn't happen.

Why? Because... Riot doesn't want to betray someone.

Turning his face with his cheeks that looked a little flushed, Riot began to try to resist Rielfeilm.

"N-no... Stay away from me, I... Can't do it... I'm sorry."

However, in response to Riot's words, Rielfeilm also began to tilt her head with a puzzled face.

"Why you can't do it? I will only change to my Spirit form again, and then enter your body for a while to expand your soul. Which in the end will also allow you to have more magic power capacity than now?"

Hearing that, Riot became even more confused again.

"... Uh?"

Well, that goes for Rielfeilm as well, anyway.

"... Eh?"

""... Eh?"" In the end, the two of them ended up staring at each other silently with faces full of question marks there, caused by some small misunderstandings between them.

***

"... Oh, I see... So - you thought that I was going to kiss you or 'that' just now, yes~?" After listening to Riot's explanation of the reason why he didn't want to do that before, Rielfeilm began to make an amused face as if she had just discovered something funny and finally asked Riot about it.

After that, Rielfeilm also began to mutter in a voice that Riot couldn't hear, "Although, it's not wrong at all, anyway..."

Unable to deny that, Riot could only nod his head there, as an affirmation of Rielfeilm's assumptions.

Finally understanding the reason for Riot's previous refusal, Rielfeilm also began to change her facial expression back into the previous super graceful and majestic mode and said, "... In that case, I have to explain about the 'Expansion of the soul' first, yes? So-"

After that, Rielfeilm began to explain all the things about this 'Expansion of the soul', along with all the effects that would occur from doing it on something, or someone.

So, according to what Rielfeilm said, all living things in the world have an invisible element but are very important 'Souls' since they were born for the first time in the world.

However, although they all are the same souls, all these souls have many differences and characteristics.

For example:

-Those with a larger size, tend to be able to grow faster and more efficiently, and have the opportunity to master many areas of expertise. Along with its high chances to get great skills.

-Meanwhile, if the size of a person's soul is relatively small, then its growth in many fields will be much slower, but usually will mysteriously be specialized in one field only. Also, the chance to get great skills will decrease, replaced by only one to two skills that have been on its since the beginning.

However, it is not only the measure that affects a person's abilities. There are also form factors, colors, and even the number of souls of that person. In other words, there are also some rare living creatures born with more than one soul.

Then, the main question is, what category does Riot's soul belong to today? Unfortunately, Riot doesn't fall into any category.

Why? Because before Rielfeilm had discovered that surely the size of Riot's soul was already quite large. However, Riot didn't have the slightest bit of free space left for him to grow that was left there. After all, Riot's soul is already full of the only Skill he has and until now it is not known what the real effect of this Skill is '(???), lv. (?)'.

Therefore, Rielfeilm decided to transform herself back into her Spirit form and finally began to expand Riot's soul using her powers. That way, Riot will get a greater capacity and quality of magic power, along with the arrival of a great opportunity to grow for him.

Stopping his explanation there, Rielfeilm also let out a small sigh and then ask.

"To be honest, I shouldn't do this as a Spirit Queen in charge of governing the world because it can be regarded as an act of favoritism or something. However, because my position has been taken by others... So I think now it's okay? Hehe."

Hearing all that, Riot finally understood, and began to nod his head.

Hm?

However, soon, Riot finally realized something strange with Rielfeilm's explanation.

"... Wait, in that case, why do you have to bring your face closer to mine? Can't you just turn into a spirit and enter my body alone? There is no need to do it like that to create a misunderstanding like before..."

Hearing Riot's question, Rielfeilm also began to ask Riot about it with a serious face.

"... Actually, my strength is not left that much. I can now talk to you and so on too actually because I have been sucking your magic power since just now."

"... Eh? Wh-what?!" Hearing a fact that could truly harm him come out of Rielfeilm's lips, Riot became shocked, until all his blood disappeared from his face.

However, Rielfeilm didn't care about Riot's concerns at all and continued her words anyway.

"Therefore, I can't just enter your body casually. I have to keep my body at the closest possible distance so that the process of entering your body does not take too long. Otherwise... Maybe you will die before I can even start expanding your soul."

'N-no way... I'm going to surely die so soon...? At the moment I just thought that I was going to get the peaceful life I had always dreamed of?' Hearing Rielfeilm's next words, Riot also began to remember the despair he had forgotten all along, and finally became lost in his thoughts.

"That's why..." Standing right in front of Riot again, Rielfeilm sat on Riot's thigh, then looked right into Riot's eyes, which at this time looked very empty. (Author: You know the position, right? Like, Riot was sitting in a chair, then Rielfeilm hugged him from the front while occupying his thigh? yes, that's it, 'I guess.)

"... I have to do this." Muttering that, Rielfeilm put her hands on each side of Riot's face, and finally pressed her pink lips onto Riot's lips.
