Back at the castle, Celeste went through all the gifts that came for Sora and Brie. To no one's surprise, several cursed gifts came but they were locked away.
A mysterious donor left a beautiful set of SSS ranked equipment for Brie and Sora. This was the first known SSS gear to exist, and Celeste got it to Brie and Sora right away.
Sora's was purple and silver, with a helmet, chest piece, boots, gauntlets and metallic leggings that fit perfectly and weightlessly. Brie's set was blue and matched Sora's. They covered their entire bodies.
"It feels like I'm not wearing anything, this is crazy!" Sora said as he equipped them from the dimensional void.
"These katanas are unbelievable. They're so light and so sharp. Did you notice they're all etched with our initials? Even your claymores!" Brie said excitedly.
"Speaking of wearing nothing," Sora said as he unequipped everything except boxers and teleported them into their bedroom.

By the fourth day Sora had gained over 100,000 experience points from his party, so he knew things back home weren't good. He finally gave in and told Brie, and they decided the party could handle it and enjoyed the rest of their honeymoon.
"Looks like werewolves have finally started making their move. Oh well, it was bound to happen. It's so weird how we've been gone for three weeks but two months have passed. That time in MeadowSong was nice!" Sora said calmly while lying on the beach with Brie.
"Werewolves? I guess Azazel can't control everyone. Let's go on the jet skis!" Brie exclaimed.
They had their fun in the sun and at night for their two weeks and on the last day, they returned home to a surprise party.
"I still can't believe it's already the middle of September," Sasha said while rolling her eyes. "Makes me cold thinking about it."
"I thought vampires don't really get cold?" Levi asked with a laugh.
"I was human once!" Sasha laughed.
"So, what really happened when we were gone?" Sora finally decided to ask.
"Werewolves kept attacking randomly. It was honestly really weird and really easy to handle. How'd you know?" Leila asked.
"One of my skills gives me experience that my party gains. Sucks, I was right," Sora explained. "With how quickly it was dealt with, dungeons didn't make sense."
"It's been an adjustment getting back to regular life after being in MeadowSong. Has it been that way for you two as well?" Sera asked while yawning.
Sora and Brie both went blushed in the face.
"Oh god—they look more well rested than ever," Sasha said while breaking out laughing.
"What's so funny?" Celeste asked as everyone, but Sora and Brie started laughing.
"We'll have baby Soras and Bries in no time, that's why they're so well rested," Levi said while laughing.
"I still don't get it. A god can't have a child unless Athena blesses them to have one—"Celeste tried explaining.
"Doesn't mean they can't try," Sasha said while laughing.
"Ooooh so they slept together? They do look well rested!" Celeste finally understood.

"Finally! They have returned," Jackson exclaimed as he quickly took off his crown and tossed it on the table. "I don't envy your jobs."
"But you did so well! Thank you so much, seriously you better have not got us a gift!" Brie exclaimed.
Elizabeth pulled out a bag. Earrings and a necklace for Brie both with Earth gemstones: rubies.
"Thanks, you two. We owe you one. What did we miss?" Sora asked.
"Azazel has been showing up regularly and apologizing for the werewolf attacks. Fenrir and Selene even came along. I believe it's all a ruse, but Azazel did kill a bunch of werewolves. It was almost theatrical? I don't know, one day about 500 werewolves showed up ready to attack and Azazel went outside and killed them all almost instantly," Elizabeth said.
"Strange," Sora said.
They heard knocking at the door.
"More werewolves your majesties. About 1,000." Johnathan said.
"Thanks son, sorry Johnathan," Jackson said. He whispered an apology, but Sora was already gone. He grabbed Brie's hand at the last second.
"Eye of Chronos!" Sora thought.
"Ready to slash some werewolves with these new blades?" He said with a grin.
"Three minutes now? Let's do this!" Brie exclaimed.
Over their honeymoon Brie pushed Sora hard with his eye magic. They quickly gave up on freezing people in time. It was pointless. Why not just freeze time with them in it?
They quickly killed most of the werewolves. Brie infused some of her new elven spells into her sword work. By the time Sora thought 'release,' a handful of werewolves left started sprinting away.
They couldn't outrun the party, who teleported to Sora and Brie right away.
"Holy heck how long can you hold your right eye now?" Levi asked, shaking his head.
"Three minutes with Brie," Sora smiled.
[Congratulations you are now level 300. You have 400 HP.]
'This system hasn't given me much. I don't have a ton of health, but I regenerate it so fast it doesn't matter. I'm just glad this new armor covers us from head to toe. I'll have to link with Brie less,' Sora thought.
"So, what's been going on in Sorbella lately?" Sora asked with a smile.
"Everything's perfect. The school is going well, everyone seems to be incorporating with each other and thanks to the rich investors, we're not spending nearly as much as we used to," Jubelle said proudly.
"There is a full moon tomorrow night, so we should be extra cautious," Leila suggested.
"Do werewolves really good out of control on the full moon?" Sora asked.
"No, they're just at they're most powerful," Jubelle said with a smile.
"So, we should expect a fight?" Brie said with a smile. "Good I can't wait to unleash these blades on every enemy that comes my way."
"Did we write thank you cards to everyone who sent us a gift?" Sora asked Celeste.
"Yes, I took the liberty of taking care of that for you. All the cursed stuff is locked away. I don't recommend going near it. People send some nasty things. One of the armors would have killed you!" Celeste said while shaking her head in shame.
"Crazy." Sora said. "Well, what in the hell are we supposed to do?"
"There's something I would like us to do," Leila suggested.
"Please, yes, anything!" Brie shouted in excitement.
"After the full moon, can we go searching for the ruins of my civilization?" Leila asked nervously.
"Of course we can!" Sora said with a smile. "I was in no rush to get cooped up back in that castle!"
"It's settled, after the full moon, we're off to find her ancient civilization. Do we have any leads?" Brie said excitedly.
"No, I was thinking we could stop by the vampire settlement first?" Leila suggested.
"No!" Sasha cried.
Jubelle started laughing. "Don't want your image of a badass wiped away by all your Father's love?"
"Exactly. But if it's for Leila, I can suck it up. I do miss them. Plus, it'd be nice for all of you to meet the families. They are pretty unique!" Sasha said joyfully.
"Alright then, it's settled. The full moon starts tonight!" Brie said with a smile. "But wait, where's Bishop? I thought he joined the party?"
"Your timing is impeccable," Celeste said with a laugh. "I just teleported him to the outskirts. He insisted on walking."
