After Mr had Gobo fainted, Delta Squad had no other choice to bring him along with them. He was placed with the Kretschmer, Gen and Sophia. When he woke up on the back seat of the Humvee, he was frightened as to where he was but was later calmed down by Gen and had Kretschmer explain to him about the misunderstanding. He later calmed down and understood.
An hour or so has passed by for the group. The dirt roads were gone and were replaced by a mixture of stone and gravel roads. There was now more people and carriages passing by them.
Mr Gobo had told them he was heading to a town, which was on the same path that D-Squad was travelling on. Not long after that, they arrived at a split path with the right road leading to a town and Mr Gobo insisted that he was fine walking to the town. A show of gratitude after they had saved his life from the bandit raid.
"You know we can just take you to the town?" Insisted Chain with one arm out the humvee speaking to Mr Gobo.
"It is fine. You and your people have an important quest to complete and I don't want to be in the way of that. Nothing I have can repay your kindness for saving my life." Mr Gobo then proceeded to bow. After the bows, he turns and walks in the direction of the town, before he leaves he says one more thing to Chain. "Good luck sir Chain! May Nenoria bless your and your party with your endeavour."
"Thanks!"
The convoy drives down the other path. "Sir Chan huh, kinda like the sound of that." Says Chain.
"Sir my ass, calling ya sergeant is enough." Retorted Amelia.
"Sir Chain does sound like a fitting name," Emeryn says too.
"2 against one Amelia. Emery and I both agree that it sounds cool."
"Whatever."
--------------------
D-Squad were now approaching Emeryn's family manor. The convoy continues on the path toward her place. They could see a large medieval style manor surrounded by lush green and plants they didn't recognise.
They decided to park in front of the entrance and got out of their humvees.
"This is one nice place you got here," Says Amelia as she compliments Emeryn's family manor.
As the whole squad were all out, the door of the manor opens with what looked to be a woman dressed in a maid uniform running out towards them. Before the rest of D-Squad were about to point their weapons at the unknown person running towards them Emeryn tells them she knows the person.
"Wait! That's, Luwinda. She's my personal maid." Emeryn screams out to D Squad and they lower their weapons.
"Lady Emeryn!" Emeryn's personal maid was seen panting non-stop as she finally reached and hug Emeryn tightly with tears running down her face. At a closer look, the apparent maid appeared to have cat looking ears sticking out of her head and had a tail too behind her.
She looks at Chain and the rest of his squad and immediately realizes the armour they were wearing matched the demon description provided by the kingdom.
Noticing her maid's frightened look at the rest of D-Squad, Emeryn reassures her there's nothing to worry about. "Luwinda, it's alright. They're not here to harm us." Emeryn releases from Luwinda's hug and turns to introduce D-Squad and Gen.
"If you people wouldn't mind, can you remove your helmets?" Emeryn asks them and they proceed to take them off, revealing their faces. "See Luwinda, these people aren't demons. They are called 'Delta Squad' from the 'IFU'. Their leader is sergeant Chain,"
"Ma'm"
"With his vice commander, corporal Kretschmer,"
"Nice to meet you."
"These two are private Amelia and private Sophia,"
"Sup!"
"..."
"And last but not least, this is Gen. She's a citizen from our kingdom but now she's their guide for Delta Squad."
"Hello! This garden's very beautiful."
Luwinda takes a moment to process this new information. "I see." She proceeds to bow and apologizes to the rest of them. "I'm sorry for not recognising that Lady Emeryn has brought visitors to the Sacobrel Manor. If you would all please follow with me into the manor and...maybe move your metal carriages to the stables at the back."
Everyone except for Kretschmer and Amelia decided to park the humvee's at the manor's stables with another maid guiding them to the stables. Meanwhile, the rest of D Squad and Gen follow Emeryn and Luwinda into the manor.
While inside the manor, they notice the intricately styled tiles they were walking on. Some of D Squad notice the metal pipes around the ceiling which were their equivalent to a house conditioner or their humvees A/C that Emeryn explained earlier to them. Chain saw paintings hung which displayed the rest of Emeryn's family. One was a portrait of a huge man in silver armour with a large sword posing while standing on some weird creatures Chain didn't recognise. Chain thought this must be Emeryn's father.
The other was a woman who resembled Emeryn. Her brunette hair and facial features matched. Chain assumed this person must be her mother. She was sitting what seemed to be a griffin, according to his fantasy knowledge, and doing a pose while in her armour and with one hand holding her sword out and the older holding her helmet.
There was one more painting that caught Chain's eye. This time it was a family portrait with Emeryn in it with her parent's in it but when she was younger, around the age of 7 or 8 years old from what Chain could tell. Everyone looked happy in the portrait with Emeryn sitting on her mother's lap and her father standing up.
This brought up some memories of his parents but Chain immediately suppressed them to the back of his mind.
As they walked past some maids, all of them gave a suspicious look at Chain and his squad but he let it pass and ignored it. They all finally reached the lounge area and sat down. Emeryn said to them that she'll be back and wanted to change into something more comfortable since she was in her armour for quite a long time. Her personal maid Luwinda stayed behind and just stood there in the lounge area with them.
It was awfully quiet and awkward for D Squad and Gen while they waited for Emeryn. To break the silence, Chain wanted to ask Luwinda a question.
"If I may ask, where are her parents now?"
"Mr & Mrs Sacobrel are currently meeting with the king for discussions."
"Ah, I see... When will we expect them to be back?"
"They'll probably be back late, from what I was told."
After that, it went silent again. A minute passed and Amelia and Kretschmer came back from parking the humvees.
"Were back!" Amelia said as she burst through the door and Kretschmer behind her, palm on his face trying to hide at his subordinate's embarrassing display. The both of them join the rest and sit down.
"So...Are those real?" Amelia asks Luwinda about her ears and her tail.
"I don't understand what you mean private Amelia."
"Don't sweat the details, just call me Amelia."
"Yes,pri-Amelia."
"As I was saying before, I was just wondering if that ear and tails of yours are real. And if they are, can I feel them? Not in a weird way."
"They are indeed real. Is this perhaps your first time seeing my kind?"
"...And that 'kind' is?"
"She is a catperson from the beast race." Gen joins in the conversation. The distinct traits that make up a cat from Earth can be recognised on the maid Luwinda.
Chain and Kretschmer had noticed Luwinda's, 'unique' traits earlier when they first met but were either too shy to ask or didn't want to make her uncomfortable with all their questions. On the other hand, Sophia is just sitting there looking at everybody with a small smile on her face.
"Wow, so she's a furry then." Both Gen and Luwinda looked confused at what Amelia had said.
"Can I pretty pretty place touch them?" Amelia looks at Luwinda with puppy eyes trying her best to persuade Luwinda into allowing her to touch her ears and tail.
Luwinda gives a slightly reluctant and defeated tone, she allows Amelia to feel them. "I guess it is fine since you are invited guest from Lady Emeryn."
"Yes!" With an excited Amelia, she runs over to Luwinda and takes off her combat gloves to feel her tail and ears.
Firstly, Amelia started off with Luwinda's ears. She gently touches them and feels them. As she does, she tries to hide her purring under her breath but as Amelia kept going, she couldn't hold it in anymore."
"Prrrrrrr~"
"Uh...Luwinda, you alright there?"
"Y-Yes... Please finish this quickly before Lady Emeryn comes back." With an evil grin on her face, Amelia decides to get more 'rougher' with her.
Amelia begins to work her way down to Luwinda's tail. She gently strokes her tail and without warning, she grabs the tip of her tail."
"MEOW!"
Everyone else in the room felt uncomfortable with the scene unfolding in front of them between Amelia and Luwinda. Luckily, all the other maids were attending to other duties around the manor so none of them had to witness the scene unfolding in the lounge area. Sophia's face turned into a disgusted expression. Gen used her hands to block Kretschmer from seeing what she deemed as obscene. Chain covered his face with his hands but with curiousness, he couldn't help himself peek through between his fingers.
A door opens and walks in Emeryn after she had gone to change, "I hope I didn't take too much of your time..." She looks at the state of her personal maid, Luwinda and what Amelia was doing to her. "Luwinda?"
Amelia was now treating Luwinda like an Earth cat. Amelia rubbing Luwinda in her lap and they were on the floor. Luwinda lying down and unaware that Emeryn was watching the scene unfold. Luwinda open's her eyes and realises Emeryn was standing there.
"Lady Emeryn!" Luwinda immediately gets up from Amelia's lap, face red. "I hope I didn't show a shameful display."
"It's fine Luwinda. I would never get angry at you at something like this... Maybe next time, just do it somewhere else private next time?" Luwinda blushes at Emeryn's comment.
"Uhhh, I'll excuse myself." She speedwalks to the door and as she was just about to leave, Amelia surprised her from behind and whispered into her ear.
"How about we take up Emeryn's offer when we're free." At that moment, Luwinda's brain exploded and was simply left baffled. She tried to ignore and proceeded to walk away, closing the door behind her with a loud slam.
"What did you say to her?" Emeryn asks.
"That's a secret." Amelia cheekily replies.
Emeryn was wearing a green medieval style tunic dress with a white sash wrapped around her waist. She and Amelia went and sat down with everyone at the table.
"Wow, you look nice Emeryn." Chain complimented her and she looks away to hide her blushing cheeks.
"T-Thank you."
And from that, they commenced a small meeting to discuss how D-Squad were to greet Emeryn's parents before they arrive at the manor within a few hours.
{Author here. Let me just say one thing first, WOW. I did not expect to write that part earlier. I tried to tone down things for those innocent readers out there. And another thing I wanted to say is since this is my last year of high school, things are going to be VERY busy for me from now on which will affect the release dates for future chapters to come. Don't worry, it won't be a huge gap between chapters releases, like months. It'll be more of around 3-4 weeks or so. Other than that, I think that's all for me to say right now. See ya my 'The Fate of Nenoria' readers!}
