Anne had never felt so violated in either of her lives. Though she did love being able to use modern conveniences like soap and so on again, she did not doubt the three women she just met now knew her own body better than she herself did. There had not been a single inch of her body spared from the vicious scrubbing or the bite of the razor, as even the most intimate areas of her body were attacked with both. Though Anne wasn't a stranger to wearing skimpy clothes in front of others, as it wouldn't be strange for people to be walking around naked in the world she was in before, this was the first time she was forcibly stripped and treated in such a way. The most horrible part was that it didn't end there, she then sat naked in he middle of the forest as the three girls started trying to determine what outfit would suit her best.
The entire time this happened they also pestered her with endless questions about her life in the world she spent the last twenty years in. They asked why she was dressed the way she was, what kind of world it, and what kind of life she lived. She then started hesitantly explaining,
"I was sent to a world so primitive that they seemed to be in the Stone Age, maybe a little bit more advanced than that, but not much. The village I grew up in was located in a jungle region, and was subject to constant monster attacks. Since they were so primitive they were very superstitious, at first they even treated me like I was a demon since I had my abilities, but that changed when I was about ten. A horde of monsters, the likes of which had never been seen before by the village since the monsters would never attack in groups, attacked and threatened to kill and eat all of us. I used one of my abilities, Sky dragon slayer magic, and fought back against the horde, eventually destroying them. I then used those same powers to heal those who were injured in the fight, saving even more lives. After that the villagers attitude towards me started changing, they started respecting me when before they feared me.
"Soon the monster hordes started becoming a regular occurrence, which meant that I had to fight more often. With each victory I gained against them my popularity grew, next thing I knew people were treating me as the goddess of wind, since my powers are wind based. With my knew status I started changing some things, I used another of my abilities which was complete knowledge of plants, to introduce the concepts of agriculture. I taught them how to grow their own food so that they didn't have to risk people gathering instead, as it wasn't an unusual occurrence for people to simply not come back with the monsters roaming the jungle. Then I started helping with architecture as well, improving some of the houses they lived in, building walls to keep the monsters out, and so on. This was made easy with my telekinesis ability, that allowed me to move things with my mind. So my reputation improved even more.
"This went on until I turned twenty and was able to contact Alex once more, and started preparing to leave. When I tried explaining to the villagers that I was leaving, they assumed that I was ascending to true god hood, and made a ceremony out of it. It because of that that I was painted up in such a way, with all of those accessories as well. And lastly I came through the portal and arrived here, where you all attacked me and violated me." Anne had a light glare as she finished her last line, to which the three girls just ignored. Rias instead asked,
"So why were you so interested in meeting Alex again? I mean twenty years is a long time to look forward to seeing someone, especially when you only talked to them once." Anne blushed at this question, and explained,
"I mean when someone dies for you, especially when you don't even know each other's names, what else would you expect? Though I never expected him to build a harem." Though her "Angel" Jenny did explain that Alex didn't intend to die for her, Anne couldn't help but be drawn to him. Kuroka then asked with a teasing smile,
"You mean even during the twenty years you didn't see Alex, there wasn't anyone who caught your eyes? Nyan~" at these words Anne's face instead became disgusted, and she explained,
"There were more than a few guys that were interested in me, even when I tried to hide behind the "goddess" mantle they threw onto me, saying that my powers were attached to my purity, they wouldn't relent. The worst ones were the village chiefs, who thought that it was only natural I became theirs. It took me actually fighting them before they got the hint, and that was only after one guy died by accident." The three girls looked at Anne with some pity, Rias especially knowing what it was like to receive "affections" from one who disgusted her. The four then started discussing other things while they tried to decide on an outfit for Anne. This went on until Alex returned, who immediately put his eyes on Anne. Because of the conversation she was having with the girls, she had completely forgotten she was still naked until Alex looked at her, earning a loud,
"KYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAA!" As the sound echoed out, she also crouched low and wrapped her arms around herself to hide her body. The other three couldn't help but chuckle, as it had been quite a while since any of them had seen such a "cute" reaction from someone. Alex on the other hand smiled at the view he had gotten, but still turned around to give her privacy. He then started explaining some of what he did in town, but left out his visit to the castle. It took nearly another twenty minutes before he could turn around again, to see a still teary eyed Anne glaring at him slightly. Alex's attention however was on the outfit the girls chose for her, and finally understood why it had taken so long.
Anne was now dressed in a two piece dancers outfit, with a long transparent skirt and various accessories adorning her body. Her hair, which had been trimmed and styled after being thoroughly shampooed and conditioned, was done up in a large ponytail similar in the way Akeno usually had hers. Alex also couldn't help but notice that she was still barefoot, but figured she preferred it over shoes. With Anne ready, Alex pulled out a map and pointed to a nearby town,
"This is the town Horlad, we'll first make our way there and with our speed we should reach it before nightfall, then we'll find an inn to spend the night. After that we'll dive into the dungeon first thing tomorrow." They all looked at Alex in confusion when he mentioned the dungeon, but he simply said,
"I'll explain when we reach the inn tonight, for now let's focus on traveling." They all nodded at his words, and took off through the woods. As Devils with high levels of physical strength and endurance, the journey wasn't too harsh for Alex and the other three, but the one he was concerned about was the human Anne. Surprisingly however, she was able to keep pace with them, giving testimony to her own physical capabilities developed from fighting monsters. It was only later he found out she had dragon slayer magic, and his opinion of her rose even more. It was like this that Alex's adventure in Tortus began.
