Chapter 598 - A Powerful Keychain
-----
Harumi walked upstairs as she gave her goodnights to Sebastian, and quickly decided to go to bed, but quickly heard the door of her mother's room opening as Clementine surged from it with a predatory glare!
"Harumi-chaaaan! I've missed you all day! Where were you, my little vampire princess?!" asked Clementine, bathing Harumi with kisses as she held her with her arms.
"Uwah! M-Mom, stop!" cried Harumi, as she tried to move aside Clementine from her embrace, the Vampire Queen was going all out now!
After a bit of struggling, Clementine let go of Harumi and brought her to her room, because she was dying to hear about the date.
"Tell me all the details! I bet that boy was a Casanova? Tell me how many times did he tried to seduce you or kiss you! If he has so many wives, I bet he tried it like a hundred times…" said Clementine, mildly annoyed.
"Eh? Mother you're getting it all wrong! Frank is not a Casanova at all! He's so nice and sweet! At the end he was so respectful that I had to be the one that kissed him…" sighed Harumi.
"S-So you kissed him?! T-That was your first kiss, right?" asked Clementine.
"W-Well… I had my first kiss before… So no…" said Harumi.
"You had your first kiss?" asked Clementine in shock.
"Huh… I guess I didn't told you… I-I don't kind of want to go into details for it because it was with a boy I never meet again… It was around middle school… He confessed to me once and we ended going out once, he kissed that day but then he kind of ignored me ever since… I later on learned he had just done a bet with someone to "kiss the creepy silent girl in the classroom"… And since then I kind of… closed myself." Sighed Harumi.
"Eh?! Tell me his name, I am going to kill him right now! No! I am actually also going to extract his soul and make him an undead, where I will force him into perpetual agony while burning in phantasmal flames! Yeah, that will do!" said Clementine.
"No, mom, I won't… We are all childish and stupid at that age, so I kind of just forgot about it, don't really care anymore…" said Harumi.
"B-But my girl, you should had told me about him! Wait, is this why… you became so introvert?" sighed Clementine.
"W-Well… I don't know! Maybe? Maybe not? T-That's not what matters as of now…" sighed Harumi.
"A-Ah, my bad! Don't mind your mom's stupidity… Anyways! I am glad that boy was good, and rather pleasantly surprised… I hope he can make you forget that heartbreak from back then…" sighed Clementine.
"Well it was years ago! So of course I am doing super fine now, mom, don't worry… And Frank… Y-Yeah, he's just super cute… And we went to the arcade game place, and I beat him in Street Fighter a lot! After that he beat me in another obscure FPS game, I've never seen in my life… After that, look, he gifted me this little keychain… I love it." sad Harumi, showing the little bat.
"Ooh, so cute… Eh? It is a magical artifact?" wondered Clementine.
"What? No?" wondered Harumi, suddenly realizing the item had been enchanted!
"W-What?! Did Frank do this?!" wondered Harumi, a sudden game-like screen showed up in front of her, as she was also sharing Frank's System now, she was able to see certain magical items as game-like items.
And this Keychain was actually like this!

Harumi and Clementine were left shocked, this item stats were insane! +20% to all stats?! That was game braking considering how high their stats truly were!
It even had the power to evolve over time and grow stronger with Harumi, and it even had a divine protection and Frank's soul fragment on it! And even more, it was locked to Harumi, so nobody else was able to equip it than her… And even more, it would even teleport back to her if she ever were to lose it… and Harumi had a bad history at losing her keychains, so this was really perfectly ideal!
"Wow! This is amazing…" said Harumi.
"Is it? Oh yeah! I've never seen something like this before… Equip it!" said Clementine.
"Ah, okay…" said Harumi, she quickly equipped it through the game interface, although the item was still in her hands, a sudden connection to it happened, and her power suddenly received a sudden boost in power!
FLASH!
Harumi's entire aura began to grow larger…
"F-Frank… he gave a piece of his soul into this keychain? I-I didn't even realized… I guess this is why it grew so strong… But… that dummy, he didn't had to go to such lengths!" sighed Harumi.
"Damn, he's really a lovable boy… Alright, I think he won me over as well…" said Clementine in shock.
"Hahah… Yeah, he's so cool, and he did it so casually too… He's really crazy I guess, who would just cut their soul and infuse the piece into an item so casually? He's nuts or something." giggled Harumi.
"Perhaps he really is a bit… nuts… We all are a bit crazy at the end…" said Clementine.
"Yeah… Yawn… I am actually a bit tired… Ah! Tomorrow Frank invited us to go to the festival going on in the plaza! And you're not saying no," said Harumi.
"E-Eh?! That's so sudden!" said Clementine.
"You're also a big introvert mom, but I am forcing you to go…" said Harumi.
"Fufu, I cannot really say no to my daughter if she's so motivated… Been ages since I've seen you this happy and energetic, dear…" said Clementine, hugging her daughter.
At the end, the two continued chatting over bed, until they fell asleep together…
