Chapter 220: Vali Team
Following a protracted bath with several of his harem members and the girls from Fairy Tail, Vahn teleported to the exterior of what looked like a traditional, three-story Ryokan, but in place of wood and bamboo, it was constructed from fairly modern materials.
"Vahn Mason, I presume...?" questioned a buxom, sharp-eyed woman with blue hair tied up in a loose bun with golden chopsticks, fringe that framed her face, and bangs that partly obscured the right of her yellow eyes.

"I might be. But not to the extent I require your concern..." responded Vali, narrowing his faintly luminous blue eyes before leaning away from the wall, approaching the sliding doors, and adding, "Let's head inside. The others are waiting..."
