Kneeling down at the edge of the river down past the hill where the massive village church sat on top of, Goblin Slayer stared back at his watery reflection with a distraught look on his scarred face, as he reached up with one hand to carefully trace the healed slash wound that he had gotten from the night prior. 'Look at the bright side… It could have been a lot worse. At least I have all my parts intact; that counts for something, right?' Goblin Slayer mused to himself, before looking further down toward his abdomen.

Pulling up his secondhand shirt, Goblin Slayer's dusty-rose eyes fixated at the large-noticeable scar where he had been shot with a bolt; cringing to himself, as he remembered just how painful it was when he got skewered by the fast-moving projectile. With his mind drifting away from reality, as he recalled more-and-more of the horrors he had bore witness to during that fateful night, Goblin Slayer didn't even realize that his sister was sitting down behind him until he noticed her hand reaching around from behind him.

Feeling her brother flinching as she traced his deep scar with one careful finger, Vivi let out a soft sigh of concern as she peered her head over the top of her younger brother's shoulder to look down at his abdomen. "I… I cleaned you up as much as I could… But I didn't have anything to get rid of those marks on you, Ren. Tell me… Does it still hurt?" Vivi asked quietly near Goblin Slayer's ear, as she couldn't help but to gently massage his abdomen where he had gotten shot.

Letting out a relaxed sigh as he felt his older sister resting her chin on top of his shoulder, the boy couldn't help but to smile fondly as he enjoyed how closely Vivi was pressing her warm body against his from behind; giving him the same peace of mind that a normal child his age would get from a security blanket. "No… No, it doesn't… Not anymore, at least," Goblin Slayer said in a reassuring voice, as the last thing he wanted for his beloved sister was for her to worry about him, on top of everything else she was dealing with.

Having very little coin to her name, with nothing more than a few bits of silver and copper she kept inside her flowery coin pouch, Vivi, much like everyone else from her destroyed village, had very little means for outright buying a new life for herself and little brother. Although the church she had come to volunteer at since she arrived there the night prior was providing her with the bare necessities she and her brother needed to get by, she wasn't getting paid by them, and thus was stressing over trying to find work within Londobell.

Not wanting to make their financial situation more stressful than it needed to be, Vivi smiled softly as she planted a kiss on the side of Goblin Slayer's scarred cheek before speaking once again into his ear. "Well, it goes without saying that a brave hero such as yourself is deserving of a reward for going above and beyond the call of duty… How about I take you out to the market, and get you a little sweet-treat for saving my life, hmmm~?" Vivi asked with a slightly playful tone, before making her younger brother laugh as she buried her face into the nape of his neck to tickle him with her kisses.

Although he had been stoic and stressed ever since the goblins had came to destroy everything that he had grown up with, hearing his sister making kissing noises as her lips brushed back and forth against his slender neck was what finally made Goblin Slayer crack laugh; making him feel like an innocent kid all over again, as he began playfully trying to push Vivi away from him. "Pfffttt! Hahaha, ah! Okay, okay! I give, I give~!" The tickled-pink boy cried out through fits of laughter, as he and his older sister soon began play-wrestling with one another.

Holding Goblin Slayer close to her so that her breasts were pressing up against his back, Vivi wrapped her arms around his abdomen and chest as she rolled over to the side; interlocking her legs around her brother's squirming legs, as they both landed on the soft grass. Reveling in their playtime, Vivi proceeded to begin aggressively rubbing her fingertips against her howling brother's exposed sides and underneath his lifted shirt; tickling blindly all over his body, while blowing raspberries against his neck, covering it in her warm-sticky saliva.

With how much enjoyment she was getting out of making her little brother squirm playfully underneath her hold on him, Vivi couldn't help but to share the feeling of carelessness as her problems seemed to be nonexistent within the moment of fun she was sharing with her beloved brother. That all came to a disruptive end when the two siblings heard the sound of a woman clearing her throat behind them, followed by them noticing the shadow her large and voluptuous body was casting onto them.

Pulling her lips and tongue away from the hickey she had accidentally left on the base of her brother's neck, Vivi wiped the saliva off of her lips onto Goblin Slayer's shirt. "A-Ahhh! M-Mother Mary…! I-I do apologize; I wasn't expecting to see you so soon!" Vivi apologized with an embarrassed smile forming on her bright-pink cheeks, as she quickly got off of her brother before picking herself up off of the ground; brushing the blades of grass off of her simple beige-colored dress, before looking up at the six-foot tall woman who towered above her and her brother.

Dressed in white holy gowns that were fitted with a cleavage window that showed off her plump-mature breasts, Mother Mary's slightly wrinkled lips were curled into a soft and amused smile, as her light blue eyes fell upon the teenage girl. "And I apologize Ms. Ashta for interrupting such a moment between you and the heroic young man I've heard so much about," Mother Mary said in a kind and sweet voice, as she glanced over at the curious gaze Goblin Slayer was giving her, before turning her focus back to his older sister. "I came by to check in on you and the rest of your village… These certainly must be troubling times for all of you, dear child."

Brought down by the head nun of the church's words of solace, Vivi lowered her head slightly as her lips curled back down into a solemn frown, as her eyelids closed half way. "… As grateful as we all are for you and the rest of Londobell taking us in when we needed it the most, Mother Mary… Yes, it… It's certainly going to be a struggle for all of us to bounce back financially from having lost everything.., And certainly isn't even taking into consideration of the journey ahead of these women and kids towards mental recovery," Vivi said quietly with a saddened tone in her voice, to which caused the mature woman standing across from her to place a hand down on top of her slender shoulder.

Looking down at the grief hidden behind the sixteen year-old's brown eyes, Mother Mary continued to smile down warmly as she softly raised her other hand to gently brush her fingers through Vivi's brown bangs. "I have prayed to our Earth Mother, and she has heard of the trials and tribulations… And has spoken to me," Mother Mary said in a sultry voice; inspiring hope within the teenager.

"She… She actually said something? W… What did she say?" Vivi asked in a quiet voice; almost too afraid to know the answer, as her heart started racing within her chest.

Smiling even more as she gently squeezed down harder on the teenager's shoulder, Mother Mary seemed to be beaming with joy as she opened her red lips to speak. "Earth Mother spoke tremendous news to me, indeed child! For you see, none other than your own brother shall be the champion of your people, for She has said that he will be the one to bring fortune upon your village!" Mother Mary spoke enthusiastically; being loud enough to earn herself some curious and hollow stares from the aforementioned survivors who were still standing around catatonic after they had all been violently assaulted.

Watching as both his older sister and the mature nun turned their focus onto him, Goblin Slayer felt his heart skipping a beat as he couldn't but to feel uneasy from the sheer amount of pressure that the blond-haired woman had all of suddenly placed onto him. "Oh, uh… A-Are you sure the Earth Goddess was right when she said that? I mean, uh… I'm like, ten years old," Goblin Slayer asked with a nervous smile spreading across his face, as a single bead of sweat began dripping down the side of his flushed cheeks; his eyes doing their best not to gaze upon the curvy and busty mature nun, whose breasts were larger than he had ever seen before from any woman. 'Don't look, don't look, don't look,' Goblin Slayer kept trying to tell himself, as he struggled slightly to maintain eye contact with the grinning church woman.

Laughing at what she figured to be the nativity of a child, Mother Mary shook her head softly at Goblin Slayer as she lowered her hand from his sister's shoulders to comb her fingers through his head full of light-brown hair. "Hmhmhm~! Of course She's right, young man; the Earth Goddess is as benevolent as She is flawless in Her judgment! So that is to say that She makes no mistakes, Goblin Slayer," Mother Mary said in a righteous voice; speaking highly of the goddess, while Vivi turned to look at her with a concerned look on her face.

"Mother Mary, uh… Is it possible that Earth Goddess was referring to my brother being some sort of… "Chosen One" when he… When he becomes of age?" Vivi asked respectfully; wanting to voice out her own concerns, while being respectful to the religious figure who was the one providing them with food and resources.

Although her smile was wavered by the teenager's words, Mother Mary simply nodded her head while continuing to stand by her goddess' word. "I understand your concern, Ms. Ashta, but it is not our place to question Her plan. Have faith in Earth Mother, for She shall not forsaken us if we place our trust in Her loving hands," Mother Mary reassured once again, reaffirming her own faith, while casting away the doubt that the two siblings had towards Earth Mother's answer.

"… If you two wish to seek clarification from Her, then I would suggest that you two make your way to Her altar inside the church, and speak to Her directly through prayer," Mother Mary advised, as she looked back down at the boy whose hair she had been combing her fingers through; carefully pulling her hand away from the top of his hand, before softly stroking the side of his scared cheek with the back of her hand. "Speaking of which, young man… Tonight after dinner, I would like to invite you up to my quarters to speak to you in private about this "white haired knight" that I've heard very little about," Mother Mary requested in a warm voice, as she retracted her hand from Goblin Slayer's blushing cheek.

'She wants to ask me about you? What am I even supposed to say? I don't even know your name; much less anything about you other than that you're my servant… Even then, I still don't know what that means,' Goblin Slayer silently vented to the aforementioned spirit, while simply smiling back uneasily at the expecting holy woman.

"Tell her that you're willing to answer her questions about me, in exchange for a mana potion, or something else equally or greater than in potency. Otherwise, we owe her no explanation as to what or who I am," the white-haired knight instructed her master, to which he relayed over to the holy woman; wording it far more politely to her, than how it was said to him.

Noticing the questioning look that his sister was giving him, along with the disapproving stare that the mature woman was looking down at him with, Goblin Slayer swallowed back the nervous lump in his throat as shrugged his shoulders softly. "I'm sorry, those were her conditions; not mine…! If I knew more about her, I'd tell you without trying to hassle a NUN out of all people," Goblin Slayer explained, while emphasizing to his servant about how he was against the idea that she was having him barter with a woman of the cloth.

"I see… Very well then, I shall acquire the necessary means to replenish your mana, young man. As for now, I must speak to the rest of the refugees here; check in with them, and see what I could do for them to make them feel more comfortable while staying here in Londobell," Mother Mary said with her smile slowly returning to her red lips. "Farewell Ashta family, and remember: tonight's dinner is shrimp gumbo, and it'll be served an hour after sunset," the extremely well-developed woman said in a warm voice, before turning around to begin walking back in the tent-city where the two siblings were living at as well.

Unable to help himself or his curiosity, Goblin Slayer's dusty-rose eyes fell down to the mature nun's backside; his eyes widening with surprise, from how juicy the grown woman's bottom mounds were through her white dress, as the curvature from the round silhouettes left little to the imagination. 'I was always under the assumption that nuns were supposed to be modest in appearance. Then again, if that's her body, that's her body; nothing wrong with looking like that,' Goblin Slayer mused more so to himself than to his servant, who in turn felt obligated to give her two-cents to her master.

"I would remain wary of all of those who hide behind the deceptive veil of false righteousness, child… And from what's been ingrained into my restrictive memory, it is voluptuous women who dress as nuns that you must be the most cautious of," the servant explained to Goblin Slayer, while being unsure herself of how or why she had a deep seeded distrust of Mother Mary, despite her appearing otherwise fine. "But I digress… Continue on with your day, as I continue on with mine. If you require me for whatever reason, summon me."

'…Summon you? How do I ever… Wait, where are you going?' Goblin Slayer asked internally to the white-haired knight, who seemed eager to leave the boy's soul.

"Despite what you might have been led to believe, I have my own life to live that's separate from yours. Although it's my duty to protect you as a knight of the Round Table, I have other responsibilities that I must take care of back in my own reality marble… Think of it like a different world, completely separate from your own, but I am bridged to you by the bond we share through the "Moon Cell"," the white-haired knight explained, as though she had expected Goblin Slayer to understand everything she had told him.

'So like, you're pretty much just going back home for a bit then?' Goblin Slayer inquired with an uncertainty in his thoughts. 'And I can just… Summon you back when I need you… But, uh…?! H-How do I even do that…?!'

"You need but only call for me, and I shall come to your aid," the servant replied with a sense of self-importance in her stoic voice, before following up with "From this point forth, you may address me as "Fairy Knight", as others seem to have taken a liking to addressing you by your own given alias, "Goblin Slayer"."

'Is there a reason why you're not just giving me your actual name?' Goblin Slayer asked with a self-conscious feeling developing inside of his chest.

"Yes, I have my own reasons, but enough of that... Now cease with these endless questions, for I have grown mentally fatigued from having to babysit you," Fairy Knight stated, while making it blatantly obvious with just how much she wanted to take a break from him. "Farewell Master, I hope that your time out with your sister in the market proves itself to be quite an enjoyable experience for you."

'Oh, uh… Thanks, Fairy Knight. And I hope that you have a good time doing, uh… Whatever it is that the "Knights of the Round Table" do in their spare time… Oh! Wait; what's the "Moon-Cell"?' Goblin Slayer tried asking at the very last second, but the lack of response in his cleared mind made it apparent that Fairy Knight had already departed from his soul.

Before the ten year-old boy could delve too deep into experiencing how surreal it was to have his thoughts and feelings to himself once again, the hand his sister was waving slowly in his face caused him to finch, as he was snapped back into reality. "Hello? Ren… Are you… Are you okay? Were you talking to that knight again?" Vivi asked curiously, while somewhat feeling worried that it took more than a minute for her to break her brother out of his trance-like state.

Gaining his bearings, Goblin Slayer licked his dried lips before curling them into a gentle smile, as he looked up at his sister's inquisitive eyes. "Y-Yeah… Yeah, I was, but… Not anymore, at least for now; she sort of went back home, and told me to "call for her" if I needed her back," Goblin Slayer said to his sister, after having sounded a little spacey during the beginning of his explanation.

Nodding her head softly at her younger brother's response, Vivi's eyes traveled away from Goblin Slayer's smiling face, until they were focused on the top of his right hand. "I see, I see… I suppose that more-or-less explains that red symbol you've got there, doesn't it?" His older sister pointed out, while nodding down to gesture at the glowing red rune that hadn't been there before Fairy Knight's departure.

Unaware of what she had been referring to until he himself had a look at the back side of his raised hand, Goblin Slayer's eyes narrowed as he studied the red symbol etched onto his skin. "Interesting design… Looks like a tribal tattoo, but just in one small spot… I hope it isn't permanent," Goblin Slayer muttered with a slight bit of dread in his voice, as he lowered his marked hand down back to his side; stuffing it into the side pocket of his trousers.

"Hmmm… Neither do I. But in the meantime, there's no point in worrying yourself over something that's not an immediate issue to you, is there? Besides, you and I have a date together down at the market; I still have to reward my brave hero, after all~!" Vivi said playfully with an endearing soft-smile across her lips, as she offered her hand down towards Goblin Slayer. "We really should get going, Ren; the market closes at sunset, and even then it wouldn't be wise to wait to arrive there during their closing hours… Usually, that's when all the good stuff's taken."

Although he still felt left out in the dark by his unusual circumstances and newly acquired power that always left him with more questions than answers when trying to understand it, Goblin Slayer couldn't help but want to push those overwhelming feelings aside, as he looked up into the sweet and tender gaze of his dearly beloved sister. Quietly exhaling out through his nose, Goblin Slayer's smile returned softly to his lips as he slowly reached his marked hand out of his pocket to place it within Vivi's silky-smooth palm.

"Y-Yeah… Yeah, let's go," Goblin Slayer said with a bit more confidence in his voice, as his smile grew from the sight of his sister visibly becoming joyful upon seeing his attempt at being more positive, in spite of their somewhat unfavorable circumstances. "If it's fine with you, Vivi… I think I'd like to use my gift to buy you something, instead of for getting anything for myself," Goblin Slayer said in a soft-stoic voice, as and his older sister walked hand-in-hand along the beautiful sparkling waters of the natural river that led them towards the market square of Londobell.

Although she wasn't at all surprised by her little brother's selfless behavior, Vivi nonetheless found it to be sweet as they walked through the soft blades of grass, while the therapeutic sound of running water of the stream beside them filled their hearts and ears. "Oh? Is that so… Such a gentleman you are…! And do tell, what makes me deserving of your gift instead of yourself, hmmm?" Vivi inquired playfully, as she didn't really expect much of an answer out of him.

"Because I love you," Goblin Slayer said with a genuine look of affection on his face, as he turned his head up and over his shoulder to see the wide-eyed and emotionally-touched expression.

Feeling her heart melt as she gazed down into the beautiful smile of her across her brother's lips— a smile that she couldn't help but to compare to same energy one feels when gazing out into a calm and serene lake within a gorgeous forest— Vivi squeezed down softly on her brother's hand when she suddenly realized the love-mark she had accidentally left on the side of his neck from earlier. Blushing to herself, Vivi turned her gaze forward while reflecting on how she had managed to leave a hickey on her own little brother.

What were meant to be innocent thoughts soon escalated into becoming impure fantasies, as the feeling of being deeply loved mixed in with remembering just how touchy she had been with him began to open up some repressed feelings she had always had about her younger brother. Just as Vivi was beginning to imagine what it would be like to play wrestle with Goblin Slayer while his front was facing toward hers— thinking about how she would reach down to grope his crotch, while sliding her tongue into his small mouth as her free hand explored his developing body— she quickly snapped herself out of her dirty thoughts, just as she felt her womanhood beginning to tingle with warmth.

"And I… I-I love you too, Ren; more than you could ever know…!" Vivi spoke softly with her cheeks full of color, as she paused for a moment in the midst of their walk to turn toward Goblin Slayer. Gently lifting his chin up, Vivi planted a loving kiss on his lips and held it there for a few seconds; relishing in the moment, while disguising her way of satisfying her dark desires behind an act of loving affection. Feeling her heart fluttering as she pulled away from her brother's smiling lips, Vivi found herself feeling a strange sense of lustful pride at the sight of seeing how much drool she had left on her oblivious sibling's mouth.

'That'll have to do… At least for now,' Vivi told herself, as she and Goblin Slayer both turned forward to continue on with their way to the marketplace; the older sister completely unaware of the same sort of satisfaction her brother had gotten out of that kiss, especially since he had began feeling strangely after not only seeing Scarlet's naked body, but after having been sexually fascinated with the tall-plump nun who was old enough to be his mother.


Author's Note: I'm going for a very lemon vibe here, so expect there to be lots of sexual themes in this fanfic.
