Sora's mind raced for ideas on what the two of them would do.
'Maybe a movie?' he thought anxiously.
He heard Brie's knock on his door and said, "Come in."
"Heya handsome! You look comfy! Mind if I sneak in bed with you?"
"Nope, not at all." Sora said. "Is there something you want to watch?"
"Do you have anything else from Earth you were talking about earlier? You seem to know a lot about it." Brie said excitedly.
"Actually, I do. It's actually a pretty lame romantic comedy I watched when I was younger. But these types of movies are so bad they're good, if you know what I mean?" Sora asked.
"I don't, but let's watch it!" she said as she eagerly rested her head on his chest.
They laid there, holding hands, watching the movie and as soon as the movie was done, Brie popped up. "That was so bad… It was good!"
"I know right? I'm just glad my parents left me lots of this stuff. We don't have anything like this here. Everything now is all so overly dramatic or news, dungeon news, adventure news, Council news, like how many news stations can you have?!" Sora laughed.
Sora grabbed Brie tightly and pulled her in for a big hug. They stared at each other, deep in the eyes, and got lost, just for a moment, in each other's arms. Brie finally leaned in, and as they finally locked lips…
[Emergency seal activated. You are being teleported to an inescapable S ranked dungeon. Your dimensional void is still full from your previous trip. Items include: 2 vials of your blood, 10 blood bags, 20 large potions, 10 large mana potions… Jubelle is in great danger on the final boss floor. He will need your blood to survive.]
"What the hell?" Brie said as she stamped her feet. "Oh, by the gods, Sora, your blood, quick!"
"Vampiric control: relaxation. Healing Aura!" Brie shouted as she rushed toward Jubelle.
"The boss snuck up from behind and pierced right through him. Not a damn thing the poor kid could do. Sorry to ruin your night." Sasha said angrily.
"System, please give Brie a vial of my blood."
Brie popped the top off and poured it into Jubelle's mouth. Fortunately, her vampiric control kept him calm, as life quickly shot back into Jubelle's eyes, the strength from the half-god blood kept under control.
"Alright you ugly son of a bitch, Lockheart Fury!" Sora shouted, as he equipped Brie's two katanas and ripped through the beast, shredding it into pieces.
[Congratulations. You have completed the S rank Dungeon: Steinguard.
Rewards: 1 Ultravite
20 large potions
500,000 experience points.
Congratulations, you completed your goal: have a successful date with your love interest;
Unique magic learned: Linking magic.
Linking Magic allows you to bind your lifeforce to another member of your party. When activated, you take on a portion of their lifeforce, absorbing any damage they would suffer and experiencing their pain in their place. In return, they remain unharmed and feel nothing. If your linked ally is on the brink of death, you can transfer your own lifeforce to sustain them, preventing their physical demise.]
"Woah, that's amazing. This would be an amazing ability for Levi as he has 2500 HP. I'm guessing his lifeforce is very, very strong."
[Correct Sora. The stronger the person is, the stronger their lifeforce is. Take you for example. Although you do not have a high HP pool like Levi, you passively regenerate your health very quickly. You only exhaust yourself from using magic in rare cases, like when you unlocked your Lockheart abilities and immediately used several of them. You cannot link with more than one person and should not switch links frequently, as it could disrupt the natural flow of life. This should be something you use sparingly and in times of necessity.]
'Ok, we'll figure this out together.'
The dungeon began to shake, and Sora realized Brie pulling his hand. "We have to go! Where's your head at right now?!"
'I'm beginning to understand what she means when she says sometimes I'm too lost in thought and need to relax and live a little.'
"Thanks Brie, you always look out for me, I appreciate it," he smiled as he grabbed her hand. As they ran through the exit, Sora realized something too late.
"Shit, we're not wearing our masks," Sora shouted.
It was too late. The dungeon teleported them to the entrance, and Sora cast wind magic on Levi, Jubelle and Sasha, propelling them off in the distance before the demon could notice them.
"Well, well, well-- What do we have here? Sora Lockheart and a blue haired human girlfriend? Azazel will be thrilled to get a picture of you two!" the sin of Lust laughed, as he mimicked taking pictures.
"Fuck off. Leave her out of this. We cleared a dungeon. Who the hell are you anyway?" Sora shouted.
"I've been here all night, the only people I saw enter were three masked folks wearing these fancy cloaks… so either they're dead, or you're their party members!" Lust laughed and teleported away.
"I'm so sorry Brie. I never wanted to put you at risk." Sora said with tear filled eyes.
She kissed him, as tears flowed down her cheeks.
"See, I've made you cry on your birthday…" Sora started, but Brie cut him off.
"These are tears of happiness, Sora. I can't imagine life without you, or Sasha, or even Levi and Jubelle. Promise me you'll stay with us, and you won't go off destroying this world," she pleaded.
"I promise you, that as long as you and others party with me, there's no way I will do anything to destroy this world. You're all worth saving, and if I destroy the world, how can I ask you out on another date?"
"Just let me sleep in your room tonight. Then we can go on another date soon. I promise. Let's get to the others and get home." Brie said.
"You're right. I'd love another date! I just hope they're not pissed at me for sending them flying," Sora said as he used his system to teleport to the three.
