Inside the large building with the large sign, which I correctly read as the Adventure Guild of Amleth, are a myriad of people. It's a hive of activity, with people eating left and right, some singing a song while others recount their glorious adventure with full passion, surrounded by friends who listen without a hint of boredom.
"Whooa! What a nice fluffy tail" [Diana].
"Diana! That's inappropriate!" [Kat]
Ignoring Kat, I walked over to a mature looking fox-like lady. Unlike Kat, who has mixed black and brown colored fur, this fox lady's fur color is all brown. Her ears are bigger and look fluffier than Kat's, even her tails... Wait!
"I swear you just had one tail! It multiplies and becomes nine!" [Diana].
"That's because I am a special fox, in fact, I have evolved" [Fox Lady].
"So pretty! Can I touch it?" [Diana]
"Diana! Don't" [Kat]
"Go ahead" [Fox Lady]
"REALLY! THANK YOU!" [Diana]
Even before I had a chance to touch her, the fox lady controlled her tails to lift me up and started tickling me from all sides with her tails. She's fluffy and makes me laugh nonstop. To make matters worse, she starts to pull me closer to her and starts to tickle my belly with her hand. In response, I use a wind spell to surround myself so that she stops tickling me.
"How disappointing. How about you let me play with you a little longer, and I'll let you hug my tail in return" [Fox Lady].
"Haaa....Haa... But you tickle me so much!" [Diana]
"Well, I feel ticklish too when you rub your cheek on my tail, but did I complain?" [Fox Lady]
"I see. I see. In that case, I'll be extra careful, but you have to promise me that you'll be gentler" [Diana].
"Deal" [Fox Lady]
As promised, she lets me touch her tails, which I find irresistible not to bury my face in. I should do it to Fie when I get home instead, as I promised her I would do it gently. As for the Fox Lady
"Done. Now we are equal" [Fox Lady].
She played with my hair, tying it into a knot and using her extra pin to hold it in place. I quickly used Ice Magic to see how I look.
"Our hair is the same!" [Diana].
"Sure it is" [Fox Lady]
"Good for you, now you have hair similar to the Guild Master's" [Nar]
"Guild Master?" [Diana]
What is a Guild Master?
"You're as playful as ever, Guild Master Akela" [Sas]
"In my defense, you're just too dark" [Akela]
"True, but better than Nar, who sometimes gives us perverted looks" [Linda].
"Excuse me! As if I would do something bad!" [Nar]
"Looking perverted?" [Diana]
"That mean he look at us while think..." [Linda]
"LINDA! STOP!" [Kat]
Before Linda can give me a detailed explanation of what she meant, Kat rushes to my side and covers my ears with her two paws.
"I wanted to hear the explanation!" [Diana].
"No, you don't!" [Kat]
Nar, Sas, Mahsuri, and Ledang arrive, and more and more people greet them. Some of them are people I've met before, but the rest are strangers to me, though none of them gave the feeling of doom, so I quickly introduced myself.
"Young lady, Nar and Sas had already told us about you."
"True. Several times in fact"
"Besides, you're the one who flies over during the festival, so it's hard for us not to know about you."
"Still, Nar and Sas talk about you a lot."
"These days, they almost always talk about you."
"For the perverted Nar, who talks about any other lady than the one he failed to pick up, and for Sas, who are always disorderly and only talk nonsense, you will be surprised how adoringly they talk about you" [Linda].
"You are dead" [Nar, Sas].
Nar and Sas started to argue with Linda. Well, argue isn't the right word to describe the one-sided complaint my two older brothers made, as Linda just stirred her drink while looking at them.
"Will Ms. Saga come?" [Ledang]
"Unfortunately, she will not. But I'll keep her informed later." [Akela]
"Shall we start the meeting?" [Mahsuri]
"There are still few who have not arrived, let us wait a little longer" [Akela]
