*10 Minutes later.*
(Trel P.O.V)
Rapid footsteps fill the hall as Trel rushes to the door the alarm came from.
He recalls the girl he and Trel just tested, and his mind goes into turmoil.
'Was she a spy? An assassin? Trel did say she had exceptional control of her mana, but I just brushed it off since her combat skills were average for a typical E-rank. Was it an act?'
He doesn't know what he'll face once he opens that door, but for his sister, he'd go through hell itself.
He pushes the door open, fists at the ready. But the sight beyond forces him to freeze in place.
On the floor is the girl, Seka. On top of her is his sister, Tesk. Normally he wouldn't be concerned. Since the alarm was hit, he would just assume that Seka attacked Tesk and was overpowered.
No, the thing that has him uncertain is their clothes and position...
Seka is on her stomach, arms outstretched in front of her. Her shirt bunched up around her chest. A bit higher and he would be able to see her breasts. Her ass is sticking up in the air, her pants around her knees on the floor. She has a red face and tears in the corners of her eyes.
On top of her is his sister, face flushed and breathing heavy. A gleam that he can't identify is in her eyes. There's a few small tears in her shirt around the stomach area, but underneath he can see that she's uninjured. Her pants hang loosely off her hips, the belt undone. If not for the fact that she's pressed against Seka, it's likely that they wouldn't still be on. Her right hand has wrapped Seka's tail around it, while the left is pressed into the small of her back, keeping her in position.
Frozen there, he can't say anything. Then Tesk looks up. She speaks.
"Don't just stand there, help me with her!"
Seka looks up with me, fear in her eyes. "Don't listen to her, she's after my adorable tail!"
Trel's brain short circuits, and he faints as blood drips out of his nose.
(Seka P.O.V)
I stare as my potential savior falls backwards, and Tesk stares along with me. Her attack on my tail is forgotten for the moment.
"Why did he faint...?" Tesk mutters. After a few moments of pondering, she looks down. Seeing the position she's in, her face rapidly pales then heats up.
She jumps up rushes to Trel's side, and lifts him up by his collar while shaking him. "This isn't what it looks like idiot! Wake up and help me convince her!"
A minute later Trel groggily mutters, "Five more minutes..."
Tesk, face still red, proceeds to slap him. "NO! Wake. Up. Al. Ready." Each syllable is punctuated with a slap before he manages to get his bearings. One she sees that he's awake, she puts him back on the floor and rubs her arms. As a much, she isn't supposed to have much strength, so it's surprising that she was able to hold him up as long as she did.
Once on the floor, he looks over where I'm hiding behind the couch, face still red. Seeing the wariness in my eyes, he rounds on his sister.
"Sis, what the hell!? Why were you trying to force yourself on a new adventurer!? No, why were you trying to force yourself on anyone!? More than that, weren't you straight!?"
He fires questions off rapid fire as Tesk stand there, mouth hanging. But when he asks the final question, she explodes, her voice shrill with indignation.
"That isn't what was happening at all! And I am straight, not that it's any of your business! If I want to have some fun with women every once in awhile, that's no concern of yours!" She blinks. "Wait a minute, why are you questioning me like this? Do you really think I'm that type of person?"
She crosses her arms under her chest and glares at her brother. He falters for a moment and looks at me.
'Payback's a bitch, and so am I.'
In response I cover my face with both hands and ducking behind the couch. My voice is just barely audible to them as I emmitt as much sadness as I can as I sob out, "Now I can't get married..."
His face hardens and he grabs his sister's arm and drags her out the door despite her protests.
He shouts back to me, "Please wait here for a bit of time miss Seka, I'll be sure you're properly compensated for the trouble." As the two vanish out of sight, I can hear him berate his sister. "I can't believe this, good thing she hit the alarm. I'll deal with you later..." His voice fades as they presumably leave the floor.
I can't help but snicker at her predicament. Serves her right for being so pushy! Sure, our position when he walked in wasn't ENTIRELY her fault. But it wouldn't have happened if she wasn't so determined to get my tail for a staff!
*15 Minutes earlier.*
"No!" I can't just let people cut off my tail to use for weapons! I would end up as a material farm! I could already hear it.
Adventurer A: "Hey, it's Seka! I hear her tail can be used to create living weapons!"
Adventurer B: "Really!? Lets get it before anyone else does!"
And then it continues like that for the rest of my life. If I'm not just kidnapped for easier access to removal and regrowth of my tail.
I get up and quickly move towards the door, but Tesk grabs my tail in an effort to keep me from leaving.
"Please! Just this once! I promise it won't hurt at all, and there's no side effect to the potion either!"
Let it be said, do NOT grab a girl's tail when she's worried. I spin around, claws extended and slash upwards. I'm just trying to scare her into letting go, but she surprisingly doesn't budge. As such, my claws slash through her belt and part of her shirt.
She jumps at me, and off-balance I bump into the table before falling to the floor.
"Please wait! We NEED to work out a deal!" She screams, wrapping my tail around her hand.
I roll over and crawl towards the door, but she pulls me back and presses down on me with her left hand to prevent me from escaping.
It's then that Trel walks in.
*Present.*
Huh, on second thought it was totally one hundred percent her fault that we were like that. Serves her right.
Still though, I wasn't expecting the two of them to be siblings.
