"So uh... how do we deal with this?"
Nora and Lyla stood, watching the sleeping Aveline and a strangely beautiful woman. Lyla crept closer, kneeling in front of the unknown. She sniffed softly, grinning back at Nora.
"She smells nice. Master's scent seems to mingle on her somewhat. They're also sleeping, so shhh!"
Lyla squirmed her way under the blanket, curling up with her tails fluffing out over Aveline. The sleeping beauty let out a tiny breath, grabbing the tails and hugging them. With a small snort, Nora looked away as she held her mouth.
"L-Lyla, that was really cute!"
Lyla had wide eyes as she smiled with glee. Her tails wiggled with excitement as she snuggled Aveline.
-
Time went by, leading to the introductions between Naname and the girls.
"So you met her... in the middle of the night, in the middle of one of our targets?!"
Nora stood over Aveline, who still sat on the edge of the bed. She didn't shrink away, but chose to stand. Nora turned red as Aveline's nose nearly touched hers. She backed off as Aveline continued to approach. When she backed into the wall, Aveline smirked as she slipped her hand onto Nora's shoulder.
"I was worried, though in the end..."
Aveline looked back at Naname.
"...it turned out safer than I expected. I was prepared for towering beasts, multi-headed serpents and blazing bats the size on me."
Aveline dropped her eyes as she turned back. They snapped back up as she realized where they landed. Nora was wearing something similar to a crop top, her waist and stomach bare.
'Bad idea. Crop tops in a fantasy setting?! Ugh... but she looks so good in it.'
With a tiny sigh, Aveline stepped back and turned on her heel. Her eyes fell on the other two girls that had been watching.
"What? Jealous?"
Lyla nodded viciously, while Naname only had a smirk. She was slightly flaunting her body.
"Naname, you realize we are all teenagers? Your body was way developed from the moment you got out."
Naname seemed flustered for the first time, slipping her hair into her face as she looked away.
'Cute.'
Aveline sat back down as Nora finally escaped from the wall. She slipped one leg over the other and spoke.
"Kyra should be back sometime soon, so let's surprise her with a bit more money and some more cleared quests!"
Aveline's excited smile left the group silent for a bit. Nora finally spoke, after what felt like an eternity.
"And the other targets?"
Aveline waved her off.
"We still have two years. I'd like to deal with them, but we need my name to be better known."
She took a small step, becoming Niall again. Naname went wide eyed as she clapped.
"Your magic is impressive, Master."
Niall nodded a thank you before handing out clothes to the girls. She turned away a little as they stripped out of their nightwear, though she could see Naname smiling. The Corrupt didn't stare passed Niall, however, her eyes only on him. Her smile curled up more as their eyes met. From behind, Nora spoke up.
"So these targets, what's to stop them from getting replacements?"
Peeling back, Niall blushed as Nora's rear end greeted him. She was bending over to slip on panties as she spoke.
"Uh, well... you need experienced people! F-for one, they aren't all over. Breeders, alchemists and powerful bandits aren't easy to find."
Nora nodded to herself as she caught Niall's gaze. Taking this chance, she wiggled her hips, but played it off as she slipped the rest of her clothing on.
"Next target?"
Niall took a deep breath before speaking.
"All we have left are... the hidden mines and the slave traders. I left the locations to my father for those mines, but we can run through and clear them. The slave traders are a bit further south. The mines are in six separate locations, but they shouldn't be a big issue."
-
The group began to bond with their newest member, all the while they continued to complete numerous missions and make money.
"So... what do you plan to do with all or this gold?"
Aveline was leaning over a table, pushing the gold coins around as she sighed.
"My family doesn't need money. The people I'm closest to aren't greedy pigs. I uh... don't need any of this money."
Aveline looked behind herself, seeing everyone in the same state. They all just looked at the money, unable to process how to use it. Nora was beside her, also in a slump.
"Should we donate some? There are a few orphanages and churches that may be able to make use of it."
Aveline narrowed her eyes, silencing Nora for a moment.
"N-n-nevermind! Not the churches! I erm... forgot... about Alvol. C-can we donate to the orphanage?"
Aveline slipped her hands down and gripped Nora's thigh. The muscle immediately tensed as her face began to glow.
"A-Aveline... don't! Mmph..."
Aveline had a smirk on her face as she began to use her free hand to push gold toward Nora.
"A third of mine can go to them. This is a reward, and punishment, for being so thoughtful."
Aveline teased the muscular thigh for a while, not realizing that the other two had approached. A pile of their own money was dropped on the table, both smiles leaving Aveline with a confused look.
"Aveline, we would like a reward as well!"
Naname was blunt as she wrapped Aveline in a hug, keeping her face between her twin peaks.
"Naname, this is ermph!"
Aveline was silenced as the peaks converged. Her mouth was sealed while her face blazed.
['Fight back!']
Aveline quickly opened her mouth, her teeth scraping the pale skin. She bit down, the noise escaping Naname's lips unexpected. Aveline was released as Naname turned away and stumbled back to the bed. Her legs kept attempting to buckle, but she vanished from sight as a fluffy tail fell in Aveline's face.
'Pracitcally being offered erogenous zones.'
With a mild sigh, Aveline began to brush the fluffy tails. Lyla let out a happy squeal as she enjoyed the attention. The day progressed with the girls relaxation, until a knock on the door of their room.
"I'll get it."
Nora was on her feet already, quickly opening the door. On the outside was an elderly man. He had a somber expression as he handed over an envelope, before slipping away. With a confused expression, Nora closed the door and settled down beside Aveline.
"For you."
Taking the envelope, Aveline deftly opened it and read the contents. Everyone in the room watched as Aveline's eyes steadily narrowed. She let out a frosty breath, shattering the letter into diamond dust.
"I guess the slavers decided the attack the wrong person. I'm having trouble deciding on how to tear them all apart!"
The ferocity in her words seemed to shock Naname, but Nora gave her a side glance.
"If you plan to be one of us, Nana, you gotta learn something about our lovely leader."
Lyla hooped to her feet and proudly exclaimed to Naname.
"She's absolutely insane and ready to rip apart the continent to make sure we aren't hurt!"
Naname nodded as Nora placed a hand on Aveline's frosty shoulder.
"Kyra?"
Aveline clenched her teeth as her hair began to turn a frosty white.
"They caught her. She was nearly here, and I couldn't..."
Nora snapped her fingers directly between Aveline's eyes.
"Shut it. We gotta get her back. You know their location, we got the abilities. Let's save Kyra before you freeze this inn."
