Veint stands up and walks a bit ahead of Leonna, leading her into the hot spring area.

  “WOW! IT’S SO MASSIVE!!”

  “Whoa! This is breathtaking!”

  Inside the hot spring area, they finally witnessed the world-famous hot spring. It is a large open area of just very blue water, with some decorations like bridges here and there. There are also black lava rocks surrounding the entire pool, giving it such a high contrast to the bright blue water. There are a few small mountains in the distance, and the sky is clear today, showing off its beautiful, bright blue color, maximizing the already beautiful scenery in the hot spring to its absolute limit. There are also a few small ‘islands’ to walk on to enjoy the beauty of this geothermal hot spring.

  There are many people inside the hot spring, but given how large and spacious the entire hot spring is, it doesn’t look crowded at all.

  “It’s so beautiful, Darling!”

  “IT IS HONEY!! YAAAAAAYYYY!!!”

  *Thud thud thud thud*

  Leonna is jumping up and down in place in joy while still holding Veint’s hand.

  “D-Darling! Please stop jumping! Do you realize how big your boobs are? Don’t jump around like that! You’ll become a free show for all the men around! I don’t want that!”

  *!!*

  Leonna stops jumping immediately.

  “I-I apologize, once again, Darling. . . I never had that intention. . .”

  “No, no! I believe you! I am just stopping you! No hard feelings!”

  There is a slope with railings on both sides right in front of them, that leads gently to the water. Veint walks down the slope a bit ahead of Leonna and turns around to her.

  “Let’s get into the water, Darling!” said Veint with a smile.

  Leonna doesn’t answer and simply nods as she looks at Veint with an endearing glare.

  They both walk down the slope and slowly enter the water.

  “Oohh! Hot! But just the right temperature!”

  “Mmhhh!! Feels so good, Honey!”

  They are finally fully in the water. Veint quickly realizes that the water is only as deep as his waist.

  “Hmm, this is not that deep?”

  “Ah, this isn’t exactly a swimming pool, Honey! That’s why it’s not deep!”

  “Oohhh! I thought people called this a hot spring simply because it’s hot!”

  “Hahahaha! They designed this to be relaxing more than swimming!”

  “Then let’s explore the place, Darling!”

  “Lead the way, my Honey!”

  Veint walks a bit ahead of Leonna, leading her as they walk in the water. They also crouch down to submerge up to their neck to soak most of their bodies in the hot water.

  “Hmmm!! Feels good!”

  “It’s so refreshing, Darling! Such a contrast in change of pace from our usual activity!”

  “No kidding! Which makes me realize that we should definitely go here sometimes with everyone, once all of the Judges have gathered together!!”

  “WOW!! What a great idea! That should be fun!”

  “. . .”

  But strangely, Leonna doesn’t reply anymore. Veint looks behind to check on her.

  “What’s wrong, Darling?”

  “I was just thinking about how long it has been since our Leader first initiated the idea of the gathering. . .”

  “I. . . can’t say I remember the exact date, but I assumed it’s been months! Or maybe half a year by now? What’s wrong?”

  “I wonder what’s gonna happen once we’re all assembled. . . Like, what does God want from us once we’re all working together?”

  “Hm? Why do you think about that?”

  “Honey, all of us Judges are strong enough on our own! Doesn’t matter who stands in our way; we’ll always win any confrontation. So I was wondering, what could be possibly so strong that would appear that He needed us all to even work together to fight against?”

  Veint finally realized the implications of this gathering.

  “Not gonna lie, it makes me nervous a little bit. . .”

  Suddenly, Leonna hugs Veint from behind in the water.

  “Honey, no matter what happens, I will protect you! Don’t worry about anything!”

  “Thanks, Darling! Normally, the man should be the one saying that to the woman, but I am not arrogant or delusional enough to think that my Faith power is more powerful than yours. I’ll make sure I’ll support you as the Support of the Judge of Gluttony!”

  “That’s the idea, Honey! I still need you in other areas to lead me, okay?”

  “Hahahaha! Leave it to me! I’ll make sure I’ll be as gentle as possible with you!”

  Leonna let go of her hug.

  “Let’s continue exploring this hot spring, Honey!”

  “Of course!”

  Next, they went over to a small bar that is available on the side of the large pool.

  “Two beers, please!”

  “Here you go!”

  “Thanks!”

  “Mmhhh!! This is so good!”

  “Haven’t had alcohol for a while! How refreshing! Also, don’t drink any more than a glass, Darling! We’ve still had a long day ahead of us, remember!”

  *Glug glug glug glug*

  Leonna proceeds to gulp down the entire glass of beer within a single chug.

  “PUUAAAHHHH!!! SO GOOOODD!!”

  “Darling. . .”

  “Yeah, yeah! I heard you, Honey! I’m good on alcohol for the day!”

  *Glug glug glug glug*

  “Puuuaaahhh!! Okay, good! As long as you remember.”

  “LET’S CONTINUE OVER THERE!!”

  Leonna excitedly points to another booth in the pool. They went over there quickly to find out what this booth has to offer.

  “EEEHHH? FREE SILICA MASK FOR OUR SKIN? WOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

  “Hm? The heck is a silica?”

  “I don’t quite get it myself, but the female staff explained to me that it is basically good for our skin.”

  Leonna opens both of her hands, and the staff gives her a scoop of silica gel.

  “So we should use this on our faces! Go ahead and take yours, Honey!”

  “Hmm, I don’t usually care for my skin, but hey, this place is expensive! Better experience everything in the meantime!”

  Veint also gets a scoop of silica gel in his hands. Both Leonna and Veint rub their faces with the gel.

  “BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!! HONEY!! YOUR FACE IS COMPLETELY WHITE!! YOU LOOKED LIKE A CLOWN!! BAHAHAHAHAHHAA!!”

  Leonna is laughing so openly and joyously at how Veint looked.

  “D-Darling. . . Did you realize that your face looked just as ridiculous as mine? We basically looked the same right now. . .”

  “Oh. . .”

  “Hahahahahaha! Let’s continue, Darling!”

  “Okay!”

  They continue to explore the hot springs. They wash away their silica mud mask with the hot water in the pool after a while.

  They also found an empty cove in the pool and saw that nobody else was there.

  “Hm? Why is this spot empty? Let’s go check, Darling!”

  “Okay!”

  They both walk towards the cove. It looks more like a ‘private’ room, given how small it is compared to the rest of the pool.

  *!*

  “Ehh? There are submerged benches all around the edges!”

  “Wow! So comfy!”

  They both sit down close and next to each other. They lean their backs and head to rest against the lava rocks behind. They lean their heads upwards and see the bright, clear blue sky above.

  “Haaaaa!! So calming and soothing. . .”

  “It’s so beautiful. . . And feels so good too!”

  They both stare at the sky in silence for a few minutes. Letting their eyes enjoy the beauty above, and their bodies rest in the hot water. They are also holding each other’s hands, under the water, on the submerged bench. They are both not saying anything and closing their eyes for a few minutes. They are simply enjoying and absorbing their rare and romantic alone moment.

  *Smooch*

  *!*

  Leonna immediately opens her eyes and looks towards Veint. She felt that her left cheek had been kissed by him. She also saw him, hurriedly tried to get back into position after kissing her. She ended up smiling widely while looking at Veint endearingly. She did not try to confront what happened, and let them enjoy and absorb this moment into their hearts.

  .

  .

  .

  About 20 minutes later. . .

  “Alright, let’s continue our day, Honey!”

  “Of course!”

  Both of them have exited the Blue Lagoon hot spring resort. They are already wearing their usual clothing as well. Leonna has already sprouted her giant golden wings from her back, and Veint hops onto her back.

  *SHIIINNNGGGG*

  Her body was engulfed in a ball of golden light, and she flew to the sky at the speed of light, searching for the next case of Gluttony.

  .

  .

  .

  Later that night. . .

  Leonna and Veint have solved about 15 cases of Gluttony today. They are now resting on the rooftop of an 8-story building in Indonesia, in Bandung city. They are sitting on a lone bench next to each other.

  “Hmmmm!! THIS TASTES SO GOOD!!”

  “MMHHH!! As a steak enjoyer, I can say that this is very close to how good a steak is!”

  They are currently having dinner together. They bought Satay, a very famous Southeast Asian food. It is basically meat on a skewer, but it is smeared in peanut sauce. The satay they eat is a chicken satay; it is a staple Indonesian food that originates from the island of Java, one of the main islands of Indonesia, where the capital city, Jakarta, is located.

  *MUNCH MUNCH*

  “HMM!! This peanut sauce is so tasty!”

  “Yeah! I never even think of combining peanuts with chicken!”

  “I think this legit might be my favourite food for now!”

  “Wow, really? Even better than me?”

  *!!*

  “H-HONEY!! DO NOT MAKE A JOKE ABOUT THAT!! MY HEART ALMOST SKIPPED THE MOMENT I HEARD IT!!”

  “Hahahaha! Your reactions are always cute! I love it!”

  “Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!” said Leonna grumpily with a pout.

  “Cheer up! Here! Take one of my satays!”

  “. . .Okey!”

  And Leonna instantly cheered up. Veint feeds her one of his satays, and she bites it off the wooden skewer flawlessly.

  *MUNCH MUNCH*

  “MMMMMMMMHHHH!! THIS IS SO GOOD!! THANK YOU FOR THE FOOD, LORD JESUS!!” shouts Leonna with her hands raised above her head, with her head leaning up towards the sky.

  “Hahahahaha! It is that good!”

  They continue to eat all of the satay within the next few seconds. They quickly clean up all of the trash and leftovers, collecting them all into a single plastic bag.

  *FLAPS*

  Leonna flies downwards towards a certain trash bin on the side of the road within a millisecond, and is already back at the rooftop in the next milliseconds.

  “AAAHHH!! THAT WAS GOOD, HONEY!!” said Leonna as she rubbed her own tummy with her tongue out, showing how satisfied she was with dinner today.

  “So, how are we gonna spend the night today?”

  “Hmm, we can easily head over to Light’s house since we’re in the country anyway, but at the same time. . .”

  “Huh? What do you have in mind?”

  Leonna walks towards Veint shyly.

  “I-I wanna spend the rest of today just the two of us, Honey. . .” said Leonna as she looked down, trying not to look at him in his eyes with her hands behind.

  “(She’s so cute. . . I love her so much! Thank you for her presence in my life, Lord Jesus!)” prayed Veint inside his own head.

  “So, wanna sleep here for tonight?”

  “Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable? Let me buy a sleeping bag real quick!”

  *SHIINNGG*

  Veint was about to warn her about buying too many things just for the sake of efficiency, that they never end up using again, just like their swimsuits for today. They ended up donating their swimsuit after washing them properly to a certain homeless people care house in America.

  “Tch! Just because she’s rich, doesn’t mean that she should be wasteful. . .”

  *SHIINNNGGG*

  “I’m back!”

  Leonna is back already with one sleeping bag.

  “Huh? Where is mine?”

  “No need! Let’s sleep together in this bag, Honey!”

  “W-WHAATTT? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!”

  “EEEHHHH? WHY NOT? I WANNA SLEEP WITH YOU JUST FOR TODAY, HONEEEEYYY!!”

  “DO YOU EVEN HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH I’VE HELD MYSELF BACK FROM ACTUALLY ASSAULTING YOU? ONE CARELESS INCIDENT AND I WOULD’VE KNOCKED YOU UP!! PLEASE BE MINDFUL, DARLING!! I LOVE YOU, AND I WANT YOU SO BAD!! YOU HEAR ME?”

  Hearing Veint so openly talk about his lust makes Leonna embarrassed, and her face turns extremely red.

  “U-Understood. . . I’ll buy another bag. . .”

  *SHIINNNGG*

  She went away and brought back another sleeping bag. They prepared and placed their sleeping bags side by side, and they prayed together before finally ending their day.
