Turns out that being a responsible and mature adult was hard, very hard. How does one go about dealing with these topics? Elizabeth couldn't imagine it, or well, didn't want to imagine it.

The idea of Mother walking up to Papa, only for Papa to say outright, 'Hey Catherine, stop getting off using the magical girls you just introduced to the magical world; spying on them kissing in the showers, is wrong.'

Actually, she could imagine that, the problem was the outcome, that is to say the answer, she didn't know if she wanted to imagine Mother saying 'Okay' or her saying something else, she could very well imagine her deviant of a Mother answering with 'Well, you entertain me' or 'Sure hubby, but wouldn't you enjoy the view with me?'

But once more, Elizabeth was distracting herself.

"What's the matter? Rossie? Eli?" Rena asked as she took the image of Rossie sniffing while sitting on the floor and Elizabeth worrying about what to say, "Did something happen?"

"*Sniff* It's…my fault *Sniff*" Rossie started, "Eli-Eli found out about…what we do…when she is busy."

"Oh…" Rena said as her face started turning white, "Eli…Please…. don't discard me…or Rossie…it was…it was my idea….if you want to punish someone….I…I suggested it to Rossie…"

"No!" Rossie jumped in, "It was my plan! Ren-Ren…Rena is a victim! I knew she couldn't stand the idea of being discarded, so I took advantage of her!"

"That's a lie!" Rena answered, standing up, "Rossie didn't say anything like that! I offered myself!"

"Who would be more inclined to do something like that, Elizabeth?!" Rossie stood up too, "Someone who is ruled by Lust or someone ruled by Wrath?"

That was actually a fair point.

"First," Elizabeth said raising a finger, "I already knew that you two got some…stress relief when I wasn't paying attention."

"Oh," "Oh…"

"I mean, it's kind of obvious. Especially if I don't give you either a way to deal with those….needs," Elizabeth wasn't that dumb, "That is fine in on itself, we all are adults and we can consent to whatever we want to do in our free time."

"But….but purity…" Rossie said looking down, "You….you value purity…"

"And…we aren't….pure….even…" Rena added, "Even after we purged as much as we could…"

"We will be speaking about that on another occasion, actually," Elizabeth said, highlighting that particular can of worms for later, "But what I value…While important, it doesn't mean that you two should also be valued to the same degree, I want to remain as pure (Or virgin) as possible till my 18th birthday because that is what I believe to be important."

Really, it was more like a promise to Papa…Mother cared not for those things, but Papa always said that it was important, and Elizabeth was a daddy's girl, so she wanted that to be the case for her, even if Papa wasn't able to come to her eighteenth birthday party…

(Which was in itself a bonus since that way Elizabeth could be able to run wilder than she would have been possible with Papa near)

"What I mean….I will not, and won't hate or stop loving either of you just because you two go wild while I am not there," Elizabeth said sighing, "I always knew to some degree what kind of person Rossie was for example."

Looking back at her own memories, it was kind of obvious what Rossie did in their shared apartment during the nights…and days…and whenever the girl went to take a shower with the door open…Man, Rossie really was someone who embodied Lust from the start, huh.

"...Really?" Rossie asked surprised, "But…then….you just…. didn't do anything?"

"I mean…The first year I was not….the brightest person, I was still dealing with much of the mind-zapping thing." Elizabeth said grimacing, the memories of her previous self still haunted her, "Then during the second year the whole coming back from the dead was happening, and we started to seriously date…And now that we are on the third year…we are dealing with all of this now…"

Really, they never got a good moment to speak about it, so Elizabeth just rolled with what was happening.

"Besides…I am not against skinship, you do remember that I also like to play around…Right?" Elizabeth said turning to Rena, "I did play with Rena while showering…"

Elizabeth didn't do it often, and there was a reason for that…

"But….you didn't do it after that…" Rena said looking down with a red face, "I really enjoyed it…But I thought you didn't."

"I do not have that good of self-control, not while dealing with an unstable Soul and having to neutralize multiple Sins," Elizabeth said sighing, "It gets better the more Sin Gems I take in, but it also gets worse in some senses."

Like right now, after internalizing Greed, now Elizabeth was feeling herself more possessive than ever, it was bad enough after taking in Envy, she didn't feel too much of a change since she was in the middle of combat, but now that she had fused Greed with Souls it was more obvious.

She wanted to own both Rossie and Rena. But that was wrong, a healthy relationship couldn't be built like that. One needed understanding, Trust and love.

"So?" Rossie asked, still sniffing, but this time in her eyes instead of shame and guilt, there was something else, hope.

"I understand that you have needs Rossie, I understand that Rena has needs…You need to fulfill your needs, and Rena is helping you while also healing her own scars." Elizabeth said in a calm tone, "I know that Rena is relearning to love herself, her body…I know that you aren't forcing yourself on her Rossie…I know that Rena isn't forcing herself on you either…"

"Then…?" Rena asked this time, looking down, "You… don't find me….disgusting?"

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

"I could never feel that way about you, Rena," Elizabeth said, hugging the red-haired girl, "Don't be silly, I love you."

Elizabeth took the red-haired girl's face with both her hands and forced her to look at her.

"I love you, Watanabe Rena, everything that makes you who you are today. Everything that is in your wonderful and hot as hell body," And after making the red-haired girl blush, Elizabeth kissed the girl, "I could spend hours, days even, exploring every inch of your body and loving it even more, I will do that even if you don't believe me."

"I believe!" Rena said quickly, shaking her head, "I believe."

That was…a shame.

"As for you Rossaline Singh," Elizabeth said turning to the pink-haired girl, "I know what you did during the night."

"I didn't do anything untoward you!" Rossie quickly said, "I know I am dressed like this and that you won't believe me, but I didn't do anything!"

"I know," Elizabeth said nodding, "I woke up during the night, and noticed that you were dressed differently."

"...you did?" Rossie asked surprised, "You…never wake up before eleven…."

Well that was…true.

"I never wake up early when I go sleep, but I didn't go sleep yesterday, I was fusing gems, while my body may have been unconscious, my mind wasn't." Elizabeth said smiling.

"Oh…" Rossie answered, "Oh….."

"Why did you change your clothes Rossie?" Elizabeth asked, not because she wanted to bully the girl, but because she truly wanted to know, "I really like the sights and to lick your body with my eyes, but I won't mind if you want to cover yourself more you know?"

"...It was…for myself," Rossie said, "I…also lust….at myself…."

Hah?

"I covered myself because I didn't want to…get in the mood…I…I don't trust myself while holding your hand…I…" Rossie said gulping, "I didn't want to soil your hand by accident."

What?

Rossie… didn't want to use Elizabeth's hand to please herself?

That was an option?!?!?!?

Why did no one tell Elizabeth about that option?!?!?!

Elizabeth wanted that to happen!

"So I covered myself…I put that gown when I want to make sure I keep my hands to myself…" Rossie said, sighing, "I know you like the sights…I made sure of it, but…In emergencies like that one, or like when you snuggle me while sleeping…I need extra help to ensure I don't do anything bad…"

"Oh Rossie…." Elizabeth said as she felt sadness gush over her body, that was.... "....you don't need to go that far...I know how much it hurts you...to contain yourself..."

Elizabeth knew to some degree, since she wasn't ruled by Lust like Rossie, but she had memories, memories of how it felt to not indulge in Pride, so she could imagine to some degree.

"But...." Rossie said shaking her head, "I...I want to respect your belief..."

"That is fine," Elizabeth said moving towards Rossie and sitting at her side, "I am fine...I understand your pain, and I am okay with whatever you decide to do while I sleep. Like I said, I trust you...And I won't mind what you do while I sleep, or when I am away."

Elizabeth had repeated herself again, and she would continue to do so no matter how many times it took for Rossie to understand. She would shower Rossie and Rena with as much love as she needed.

"If you need to use my body, you may do so. No matter if I am asleep or not," Elizabeth said grabbing Rossie's hand and placing her atop her chest, "You may even use the ring, I gave you the right to my body, all I ask of you is to keep my purity, but everything else is yours."

Was that cruel? To offer food and drink to a starving woman? Perhaps, but Elizabeth truly believed in Rossie.

"Puppeteer my body, get it naked and pose for you, use it to please yourself if that is what you need," Elizabeth said lifting up her own blouse, "Watch my body move as you desire, or even move it as you desire, I believe that you will not overstep my boundaries."

"....You are such a dummy Eli-Eli," Rossie said shaking her head, "How am I supposed to enjoy myself after you said such a thing..."

Elizabeth really hoped she did enjoy herself...Mostly so she could watch the videos later...

"Well, hang in there for a little more, we are almost to V-Day," Elizabeth said summoning her calendar app, there it was marked, her next birthday, also the last day of classes for third year. It was around the corner, the days blending together as they moved from place to place.

Moving and dealing with their missing problems.

"Okay...." Rossie answered, "Okay...I'll....take that into consideration, but I still wish to respect your wishes, Eli-Eli."

Dang it...

I mean, a girl couldn't get a better lover, one who cared so much for their beliefs and didn't want to overstep, someone who could see the food and drink while starving and hungering, and still could put it at the side.

Someone who would rather starve instead of hurting someone...Even if that someone wanted to be hurt. Who else could get someone this understanding?

Elizabeth didn't know, but she should feel happy; she should feel very happy for such an understanding girlfriend, right? Then why did it hurt? Why?

WHY COULDN'T ROSSIE JUST RAPE HER WHILE SHE WAS ASLEEP?!?!?!? THEN IT WOULDN'T BE ELIZABETH'S FAULT!

........Oh right, love. Love triumphed over desire and Lust it seemed.

"I know you will, Rossie," Elizabeth said, giving a small chaste kiss to the pink-haired girl on the lips, "I know you will... And I truly love you for that."

Even if that was not what Elizabeth wanted...Or well, she did want that, but she also wouldn't mind waking up to Rossie going at it with her, that would also be fine...

But that was not here or there.

"Okay, with that out of the way...Shall we go eat breakfast?" Elizabeth said standing up, looking at both girls, "...Or perhaps a bath should be in order first?"

Better that, both girls had red eyes and seemed quite distraught, "Nothing cheers me up than a good warm bath in the morning," Elizabeth was totally not baiting both girls into a steamy situation. No sir.

"...Yes...I could use a bath," Rossie said nodding, "Let's go Ren-Ren."

"But..." Rena said as Rossie pulled at her hand towards the shower room.

"Eli-Eli is trusting us, even after all of that...We have to answer that Trust," Rossie said nodding gravely, "I can do this...I am more than my Lust."

Such wonderful character development.

Elizabeth did not want that, or well, she did. But she didn't want it right at this moment.

"Yeah," Elizabeth said nodding, "I trust you both, but if it gets too hard do tell me. I don't want either of you to suffer."

And Elizabeth wouldn't mind helping them. Actually, weren't they supposed to do something?

"It'll be fine, Rena," Elizabeth said, removing her blouse, "Trust is a two-way street. Will you not trust me too? Will you not trust the me that trusts in you and Rossie?"

Rossie took a second and nodded; Elizabeth didn't turn to look and merely walked to the shower as she removed the layers of her clothes, turning back to see Rena and Rossie doing the same, one with some trepidation and the other with measured movements and a little too much-shaking hands.

Elizabeth couldn't help but smile at it, to think that almost three years ago it was Elizabeth the one who didn't know how to react or where to look. And now it was Rossie the one in that situation.

"I hope you are recording it Aura...And for clarity's sake, I do mean how adorable, cute and lovable Rossie looks all confused and trying to not look at me," Elizabeth sent the tought into her Shadow Haven, to her purple maid.

"Of course Mistress, I am also testing a new technique that will allow you to view the recording as if it was a three-dimensional recording, so you will be able to watch, walk and move around within the recording," Aura answered almost immediately.

That was...quite honestly, more than Elizabeth could wish for.

"Aren't you turning on the shower Eli-Eli?" Rossie said as she walked into the shower room; it was a simple delimitation within the master bedroom with glass panels instead of walls and a jacuzzi by the side.

"Yeah, we can shower first, clean ourselves, then spend some time in the jacuzzi while the breakfast is ready," Elizabeth said, moving to the shower part, opening allowed the warm water to fall into her body.

"Breakfast?" Rossie asked still trying to not look directly at Elizabeth's body, "Do you think Jenna will? Or Lily?"

"I can go and make it quickly while you both take a bath," Rena said from the side, still wearing her oversized T-shirt.

"Aura," Elizabeth said in perhaps a little too commanding tone and at the same time pulled at Rena so she couldn't run away.

"Mistress," The purple-haired maid teleported the next second, landing just on the other side of the glass panel in front of Elizabeth, "Hmm... I think you may need to eat a little more greens, and less snacks, you are developing a little too much fat in the wrong spot Mistress."

"Woh!" Rossie jumped beside Elizabeth, covering her chest with one hand (And squishing one) while covering her most private parts with the other hand, taking care to not touch her private bits...or not the ones below anyway. "Eli-Eli! You can't just show anyone your bare body!"

"...." "..."

"Thank you Aura," Elizabeth said to the purple maid, "I wasn't sure how to get Rossie into the shower after this morning's debacle."

"I live to serve Mistress," The purple-haired maid said bowing, "It's fine Lady Rossaline, Mistress Elizabeth's body means nothing to me. I have found that the allure of her flesh...just doesn't do it for me, and I am not brave enough to 'Stick it in crazy', so both yourself and Lady Rena are safe."

"...Even so," Rossie said, hiding her face against Elizabeth's shoulder, "Eli-Eli is mine...Not sharing...Except with Rena."

Who walked silently and covered Rossie's body with her own.

Elizabeth kind of wished Rossie had done that, but she would settle by getting fondled for the moment.

"Would you kindly prepare breakfast? Also can you fulfill your normal work while doing so?" Elizabeth decided to ask as the water fell into her body, Rossie fondled her while her right hand still hovered refusing to touch anything important...And Rena... Well, Rena was at the back hugging Rossie as if to prevent her from moving too much.

"As you command Mistress." Aura said bowing the her once more, "Have fun with your morning activities, the breakfast will be ready the second you decide to...stop messing around."

And with that, Aura teleported away.

"What did she meant-?" Rena was about to ask when Elizabeth jumped into the jacuzzi, pulling the other two girls with her.

"Let's have some private time then shall we?" Elizabeth said as the three resurfaced from the splash Elizabeth forced on them. "Don't mind Aura."

Yeah, don't mind the cryptic messages the purple-haired maid was sending them the way, ones that implied that Aura was aware of everything that was happening within the jacuzzi even though Rossie thought she was able to detect the spying magics of the purple menace.

No sir, please don't notice it. Elizabeth depended on those videos for...stuff...private stuff....private stuff that no one needed to know, NO ONE NEEDED TO KNOW OKAY!

NO SIR!
