Shina wasted no time and began digging around the Moon Lotus Flower carefully without damaging it.

The animals and monsters on the battlefield had given up all hope seeing this and wanted to leave because they also did not want to stay and face this damn Golden Fox, but Theo didn't want to let them go so easily. He continued to attack them non-stop.

Yuki also helped Theo, using her ice affinity to attack the animals and monsters from afar. She knew that the more bodies she left behind, the more power Theo would get later, so she wanted to help him as much as possible.

"Damn it!! Run faster!" A large, four-foot-tall gorilla spoke up.

"Is he the leader of these animals?" Theo asked, seeing this gorilla command many animals of different races and species.

Seeing that they were already far, almost out of their reach... Theo sighed, thinking it was a pity he could not kill them all now. He gave up chasing them because he wouldn't leave Yuki and Shina there alone.

Back to his human form. "Ahh ..." Theo realized that his previous clothes had disappeared.

Shina was still concentrating on digging the Moon Lotus Flower, so she did not see it, but Yuki was looking at Theo's body seriously, wanting to learn more about a man's human body.

She had to admit that she liked looking at Theo's body. She still did not quite understand the concept of a man and a woman sleeping together, but she knew that one day she wanted to do it with Theo. So he decided to look closely.

Theo was a little embarrassed, as he felt Yuki's penetrating gaze over him. He then opened his [System Store] quickly and bought a wide-sleeved black kimono, with the edges of the sleeves being golden. The Obi (Belt) of the kimono was also golden, but it had a 2-centimeter black stripe in the middle of it.

Theo used <Clean> on himself and dressed in kimono quickly, he also flipped his long hair back, that reached the middle of his back, and bought a black elastic band and tied his hair as a single low ponytail while his fringes were from a little above his eyes to his chin. Theo arranged his long, dark-gold fringes, drawing from the front of his eyes and making his golden and charming eyes appear, but what attracted attention were his long golden eyelashes that gave him a unique charm and the fox ears in above his head. {TL: Don't kill me. I know nothing of haircuts or related, I got so confused}

Luckily, when he bought the clothes in his system, he had the option of selecting who would wear them. The clothes he bought for him in his already came with holes prepared for his four tails.

"This option is very convenient," Theo thought as he finished dressing.

After dressing in the kimono, Theo left some of his chest exposed while he wore dark socks covering his shin and gray flip-flops.

Theo then headed back to where Shina and Yuki were.

Listening to Theo's footsteps, Shina turned her head in his direction and flushed a little at Theo's beautiful appearance, she shook her head from side to side and said, "I'm almost done."

"Uh... okay." Theo smiled.

Seeing Theo's smile, Shina blushed even more and turned her face away in panic and tried to calm down. "Uaaa! What's happening to me? After Yuki said that to me... I can barely look at Theo without feeling nervous in front of him." Shina was having a great fight against her own little maiden's heart, trying to calm herself down.

After taking a deep breath... she tried her best not to think about it now and concentrated on harvesting the Moon Lotus Flower.

Theo, seeing that she did not seem to want to talk now, went to where the bodies were and began to use <Devour> on them.

There were already many bodies accumulated in this place. "Woah... even though many of them have fled, there are still a lot of bodies in this place. That's good, that's good~" Theo hummed.

"I'll help you!" Yuki said and began to gather the bodies to one place.

"Thank you, Yuki!" Theo smiled.

"Yes. All for Theo!" Yuki replied energetically as she carried the bodies.

Theo only scratched his face awkwardly at that and then continued to use <Devour> on the bodies. He had already become used to her talking this way, even when he said she should do what she wanted to do, but she then replies, "I do it because I like to do it! Making Theo happy makes me very happy." After hearing that, Theo was pleased with her devotion to him, but he also didn't know how to react to it. He did not tell Yuki, but Theo was really grateful for Yuki accompanying him all this time.

Theo was not a fool, he knew that Yuki not only liked him as a friend but also loved him, yet he still hadn't put his feelings in order. However, there was still one thing he knew for sure! It was that he would do anything to protect her and make her happy.

"G-Got it!" Shina said, holding a beautiful flower on her hands. The Moon Lotus Flower was the size of Shina's two small hands together. After blooming, it's petals, which were originally white, turned into the color of the blue sky, looking like the most beautiful of the flowers they had ever seen in their lives.

"It's beautiful!" Commented Yuki.

"Yes!" Shina nodded.

Theo did not speak but nodded in agreement. He then said, "For now, let's keep it in the [Dimensional Room]. I also think it would be best to go back to our village today, as it has gotten dark."

"Alright," they agreed.

Shina wanted to see the people from the orphanage, but she knew it was best for them to do so another day. Shina walked over to Theo's side and handed the Moon Lotus Flower, with a little hesitation to look at Theo's eyes.

Theo soon after kept it inside the [Dimensional Room] and continued to sweep the bodies on the battlefield. Shina also began helping Yuki to gather the bodies.

But Theo did not turn them all into [System Points]. Many who had Water, Ice, Lightning, and Darkness attributes, Theo kept their Magic Core. Since using them could help increase their affinities.

"HUFF... It's over!!" Theo said with a slightly tired expression.

After all, not all bodies were complete, many were mutilated by them, but he did not want to waste any and went after all of them.

"Alright, let me see how many points we made..."

"Wow! Seriously?!! It was way more points than I expected!" Theo remarked in his mind with a happy smile on his face.

Taking a deep breath, Theo turned to Shina and Yuki and said, "Okay, we're all done here. Let's go back!" Theo knew they deserved some rewards for their efforts today, but thought it would be best to think calmly after returning to the village.

"Yes!" Yuki and Shina nodded. Then they returned to their village.
