Chapter 186: Understanding
Following his encounter with Frieren, Vahn was a bit out of sorts as he spent time with Lupheria, met up with Rias, Erza, and Jack-O, and then spent the remainder of the evening with Akeno.

"Alright, then, I think we're far enough from the others..." hummed Nami, her accusatory expression turning playful as she pulled Vahn toward the treeline.
