Life Before Becoming an Omniverse Entity-Chapter 36: Can I hold them

Sylveria’s lips twitched when she heard him address her as Sylveria instead of Sister Sylveria, but she didn’t point it out, already knowing he wasn’t going to stop. Instead, she simply answered his question. "No, I don’t."

Renan then turned his head toward Elowyn, who also shook her head left and right, indicating she didn’t know either.

"I see," he said as he then started walking toward Elowyn, who stood beside the window. After reaching her, Renan looked up at her. Although it had been a year and he had grown considerably, he was still small in front of Elowyn, whose height was about 5’10" or more. Even Sylveria’s height was 6 feet.

Elowyn, who saw Renan walking toward her out of nowhere, looked at Renan’s small face and thought inwardly, ’He is cute.’ She paused and then looked at his forehead, thinking, ’To think he would be able to transform into the third form this early.’ Elowyn observed Renan’s human form, also called the Third Form. ’But why is he staring at me like this? Does he want something?’

They both continued to look into each other’s eyes, and Sylveria, who was sitting on the bed, simply observed them from the side. But not for long, as Renan soon spoke, breaking eye contact.

"Can I hold them?" Renan asked with a full serious face, as if his life depended on it.

"..."

Sylveria and Elowyn looked at Renan with confused expressions, not understanding what he wanted to hold. But not for long—Elowyn, who was slow at first to realize, finally understood after a second thought and said in a firm voice, "No," she stated in a firm voice.

"Please..." Renan tried to negotiate, but Elowyn was not about to budge that easily.

"No means no, Renan. I’m not letting you hold them," Elowyn said as she folded her arms and looked to the side.

Sylveria, who didn’t know what he was asking to hold, thought of something else and yelled, "Renan, what are you doing? You are still too young to hold them!" Her face turned completely red as she thought about what Renan was asking to hold.

"Huh?"

Both Renan and Elowyn made a confused sound and looked at Sylveria, whose face was getting redder by the second. Renan and Elowyn glanced at each other from the corners of their eyes, both realizing that Sylveria was not thinking of something pure.

Renan suddenly started smiling and asked, "What are you talking about, Sylveria?" He spoke in a childlike voice, tilting his head innocently.

"Huh? I’m talking about the thing you want to hold from Elowyn," Sylveria stuttered and pointed her finger at Elowyn’s chest.

Elowyn, seeing Sylveria pointing at her chest, just shook her head and thought inwardly, ’Right, he has never asked to hold them in front of Sylveria—only when we are alone or with Mother.’

Sylveria, seeing Elowyn shake her head and stare back at her, thought, ’Huh? Why is she not saying anything? C’mon, he’s asking to hold your ’things’—you should say something!’ She was about to say it to Elowyn but stopped when she heard a voice and turned her face in the direction where the voice came from.

"I was asking to hold Elowyn’s tail. Sylveria, what were you thinking about?" Renan asked in a cheeky voice.

"Huh, tail?"

Renan nodded his head.

"You were asking to hold her tail?"

Renan nodded his head again innocently.

Sylveria suddenly went completely quiet, and lifted the blanket from the bed, and hid under it, not saying a word.

But Renan, who had the perfect chance to tease her, didn’t let it slide.

"Sylveria, you have a dirty, dirty mind," he said in a teasing voice.

"No, I don’t," Sylveria muttered in a low voice from under the blanket.

"Hahaha!" Renan, who had been trying to hold back his laughter, couldn’t anymore and started laughing at Sylveria. Elowyn, standing beside him, simply smiled without saying anything.

Sylveria, hearing Renan laugh, just wished she could erase herself from the face of the earth.

And just like that, their night went by, and they fell asleep.

--Next Day--

Renan, who had just woken up from sleep, found himself sandwiched between Elowyn and Sylveria. ’Ohh right, they both stayed the night here,’ he thought as he tried to slowly get up without waking them. But alas, Elowyn and Sylveria both woke up the moment they felt even a little bit of movement from him.

Renan, seeing them open their eyes, said, "Good morning," with his usual smile.

They both responded with a "Good morning" and got up from the bed.

"Ohh, it’s morning. I guess we are going back," Sylveria said as she got off the bed and stretched. Elowyn also followed behind her, getting up from the bed and stretching her body.

Renan, seeing them stretch in front of him, didn’t look at them but turned to his side, trying his best not to stare.

’Man, this is embarrassing,’ he thought. After a while, they finally stopped stretching, giving Renan time to relax.

Sylveria spoke, "Hmm, I’m going back now. I skipped my training to come here and spend time with you, so goodbye now. I need to get back to my training," she said as she walked toward the door.

But before she could leave, Renan spoke.

"Goodbye, Dirty Mind Sylveria," he said, waving his hand.

Sylveria, who heard him, didn’t stop or say anything but instead increased her walking pace like she was running away.

Renan, observing her hurried steps, noticed her ears turning red and thought inwardly, ’So she’s still embarrassed.’

"I’m also going. Goodbye," Elowyn said in a blank voice.

"Can I still not hold them?" Renan asked again, trying his luck.

But alas, he wasn’t lucky.

"No, you still can’t," she said, walking out after the embarrassed Sylveria.

’I guess it’ll take time before I can hold those fluffy tails,’ he thought, getting off the bed and heading to the washroom to freshen up.
