With Aeterna assisting him, Vahn felt like he had finally caught up with his former skill at forging. He had already known this but, with the eternal flame being at his side since the beginning of his career as a Blacksmith, Vahn was infinitely more used to working with a ‘partner’ than working on his own. After losing the eternal …

Due to the time dilation of the Projection, it was early in the evening when the tiny lantern strapped to Vahn’s waist began to stir. When he noticed this, he created a barrier, not to protect himself, but his surroundings. Then, after apologizing to Lakshmibai and Gareth, who he had been having tea with, Vahn opened the lantern’s door to …

Though it was a bit earlier than scheduled, Vahn found himself in the underground tunnels that had, in a very short period of time, become the home of the Dwarves and Vulcanae. It was nothing like the complex network of tunnels that Da Vinci’s micro-golems had mapped previously. Now, a small city had already started to take shape several hundred …

After entrusting Olivia with the task of tracking down the Magus responsible for cursing Waver, Vahn returned to Avalon to spend some time with his family. He didn’t want to think about the politics of the Magus community as, in the near future, he planned to flip tear it up from the roots, like a weed that had been choking …

With three additional children to occupy his time, Vahn’s schedule had become somewhat hectic. If not for the fact the Recreational Wing had been refurbished into a daycare, he would be running all over the place just to spend time with all his new children. Though it might not have too much of an impact on his sons, as it …

After things had settled down following the surprisingly short delivery, Vahn used the [Heroic Tale]s on each of his children, including Daiki. Though the Quest had only awarded him with two, Vahn’s ability to purchase Unique items he had already obtained came in handy during such situations. It didn’t extend to [Guardian]s, unfortunately, but he had already given versions to …

As time continued its eternal march forward, Vahn found himself in a great mood. Though Scáthach never let up during their training, the rest of his time within the Projection had put a perpetual smile on Vahn’s face. Vahn would check up on Nobunaga and Kamiya several times throughout the day, often to find that many of the castle’s residents …

As was common during the latter parts of the evening, Vahn found himself accompanying Iris and Illya. Earlier, they had been watching some of his memories play out together but, after Illya fell asleep in his lap, Vahn carried her to the bed as Iris made her own preparations. Then, as was the most common occurrence in this situation, especially …

With Nobunaga due any day now, Vahn found himself idling in her room with increasing frequency. He didn’t particularly mind her teasing but, now that the day was approaching, Nobunaga began to mellow out a bit and just let him pamper her obediently. Currently, Vahn was helping her bathe by wiping down her body with a sponge before lathering up …

In preparation for the upcoming duel, Artoria began spending much of her free time training. She went on a small tirade of sorts, challenging everyone in the castle to battle, Vahn included. Though she was no worried about losing to Lorelei, her dignity as a ruler would not allow her to treat such an important matter carelessly. Until she claimed …
