It was not until noon the next day that Vivi finally woke, trembling.
She opened her eyes to find Lott looking at her tenderly.
"Ah~"
She had barely moved when a tearing pain shot through her.
She could not help gritting her teeth and rolling her eyes at Lott.
But when she thought of last night, she could not help blushing again.
Lott pinched her exquisitely soft cheek. "Silly girl, how are you so beautiful?"
At that, Vivi buried her head straight in Lott's chest.
Her warm breath brushed the skin of his chest, as though he had been injected with a stimulant.
"No! Don't." Sensing the change in little Lott, Vivi waved her hands repeatedly. His formidable prowess had left her whole body weak and tingling even now.
Lott gave her lips a little peck.

It was as though they had never taken part in the operation to surround and destroy Lott's Crew.
Lott was naturally happy to enjoy the peace.

Of course, he delighted in it, helping build Peach Spring with his own hands and watching it grow stronger step by step.
