Chapter 187: Memories And Trust [Bonus]

Zinna paused for a second, staring gently into Tyler’s eyes. She found herself becoming more attached to him by the minute, reminding herself this was part of Asura’s blessing. The natural feelings would accelerate, which she didn’t mind. She’d rather they both got along and she was able to start repairing her relationship with the girls, especially Kass.

Part of her worried about her new stats. She saw all of the Eidolons on the livestream, but that was different from seeing them in person. Her natural instincts were well trained to protect and hide her identity, powers and strength, which is why it scared her that 0 knew so much about her.

Zinnia couldn’t recognize her voice nor could she tell what Z looked like when she met face to face with him. She was in a conundrum and she wanted Tyler to trust her.

"I’m not doubting your Eidolons Tyler, but is she really that strong? I might just naturally block it..." Zinnia frowned.

"Trust me, you’ll understand more when we do it, ok? You have a limitless system now, that’s something you need to learn to adjust to as well."

She gave a firm nod and Vivian appeared. The breathtaking succubus made Zinnia a little nervous, but Viv was her normal flirtatious self.

"My oh my do we have a sexy woman to play with! I’m Vivian and don’t worry, my husband is one of his familiars."

"That’s amazing! I bet you two have been together for a long time. Why weren’t you ever interested in Tyler?"

Vivian laughed. "Tyler, I’m still not into you sorry. I remember telling him I was only into Eidolons but even now...still would blow your mind though."

"Don’t doubt the last part," Tyler laughed and ran his hand through his hair. "That’s all you and Maximus. I’m happily married and have a new girlfriend, which sounds really weird saying out loud."

’He’s nervous about it. Wow. He really does love them...’ Zinnia thought while looking at them both.

"It’s ok Tyler. You can think of me whatever way makes you most comfortable. Partner, girlfriend, wife, it doesn’t matter to me as long as we are both happy and your wives start accepting me.

"Sounds great to me, Zinnia!" Tyler smiled widely.

"Ok sweetheart, are you ready?" Vivian asked with a smirk.

"Yes..." Zinnia said without any confidence.

’Please be able to let it through... I’m so strong now.’

{Incoming charm detected. Would you like to block it?}

’Woah...what?! If I would have tried to access their memories this message would appear for them? Phew...I’m glad I had good intentions. No, don’t block it.’

"Got her Tyler. What do you want me to ask her?" Vivian smirked when her red eyes began illuminating.

Zinnia looked lost in a trance. It wasn’t just her eyes, her whole body appeared like it was under someone else’s control. Tyler could tell the charm landed and knew a system notification played in her head by the amount of time it took for the spell casted.

Normally, Vivian’s charm instantly worked. There was a clear very small delay in this charm this time, which is why he suspected the system gave her the option to block it.

’She must have thought about it and wondered why she had an option to block or allow it, she probably would have naturally blocked it on instinct the first time. I wonder if it would have gone through?’ Tyler thought, softly smiling.

"Please ask her if she had any intention of ever doing me harm or handing me over to the Necrams while working for the masked organization."

"Ok," Vivian said and repeated the question verbatim to Zinnia, who just stared into Vivian’s eyes like nothing else in the world existed.

"No, I did not. I planned to protect him." Zinnia said robotically.

’Woah...’ Tyler thought. ’Sophie and Nyx were right...’

"Tyler, I’m not entirely sure Vivian’s charm will work on her if she casted it on Zinnia without her system. She could lower her guard and let it work, but Zinnia received Necram power and went through a significant transformation. She grew 2 inches, added some lean muscle and I’m sure her stats are higher than yours. Just an observation. I’m not saying you couldn’t beat her in a fight, I’m just saying she’s probably way ahead of you and your other wives from a statistical system standpoint," Ritsu said calmly.

"Good to know, thanks Ritsu!" Tyler said cheerfully. "She must be insanely powerful then, she can help us power up my staff to reach its max!"

"Agreed. I wonder what she will become if she goes beyond demon?" Ash said cheerfully.

Zinnia came back around and was flabbergasted. She blushed again, unable to hide the sadness in her eyes. ’It’s going to be so hard to go back...I just want to stay with him and the girls but I can’t.’

Tyler hugged her again and kissed her forehead. "Thank you for doing that. Ok, your turn. Go ahead. Use whatever demon art you want on me."

Zinnia smiled but didn’t know how to feel. She didn’t know which one to use and for what reason. She decided on one to show what she could truly do.

"Ok, I’m ready," she smiled.

[Incoming demon art detected: Memory access. Would you like to block?]

’No, I trust her, although I really hope she doesn’t access anything about Earth.’

Zinnia, rather than digging into his memories, decided to ask him a question.

"Show me your favorite memories since you became a summoner."

’Woah... that’s specific and there are so many...’ Tyler thought, while his mind played several scenes that Zinnia got to see all of. Even if he just remembered fragments, she could remember the entire memory. She often looked away during the sexual ones feeling bad he saw him being intimate with each one of the girls.

"Tyler... so much love, so much compassion. You are such a good person." Zinnia said with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you, I think somewhere down there is a really great person too, you’ve just made some choices that make you appear to be pure evil," Tyler said while wiping away her tears for her.

She saw him meet Ash for the first time. Then she saw his encounter with Sophie and his disappointment that he didn’t ask her for his number. Zinnia watched him gather himself before approaching two demons and a vampire she didn’t know. Then it was the hospital with Amanda and how genuinely concerned he was for her. Receiving his staff, the duo duels...Ash’s first evolution reminded her of her fears when he burst into flames.

Then there was making out with Kass at the party before he got sucked into the Land of Summoned Monsters. She could see everything and remember everything like he did, but in much more detail because she had full access to them, not just the fragments he remembered.

Then there was the Nyxara pitch, which made her laugh.

"Their pitch to me was a lot more straightforward with the whole blow job thing." She giggled, wiping away her tears.

"You think?!" Tyler laughed.

Literally giving his life for his familiars and his harem,The wedding, winning the tournament, meeting each one of his Eidolons, the honeymoon, consoling Amanda about the elves and seeing Kass come around just moments before. She also saw glimpses of the birthday 4-some and it made her smile.

"What’s impressive is your memory control and what you were able to not show. I’ve released you." Zinnia said with a large smile.

She ran in, gave him a hug and realized they were now standing in the apartment with the rest of the girls.

"Well? How did everything go?" Kass was the first one to ask.
