"Your legs… Are still… Legs?" Alfonzo muttered after seeing Sun's soaking wet legs still in the form of human legs.
For most, that statement would be seen as redundant or obvious. However, in Sun's case it was something to be shocked about.
As a mermaid, and until this very moment, Sun's legs would transform into a pink-scaled fish tail whenever they got wet in the past. So, it was no surprise that all four people in the bathroom were shocked to see Sun's legs at the moment.
"I had my suspicions that she would gain control of her transformation when she lost her virginity." Elicia muttered blankly. "But Fonzie didn't even fill her up… This isn't what I was expecting at all.'
"Fill me up?" Sun questioned in a confused tone.
"Next time we do what we did last night, you'll see what I mean." Elicia replied with a smile.
"That's right… Control her transformation." Alfonzo said, drawing everyone's attention. "Sun, can you change your legs into your fish tail?"
"Uh… I don't know." Sun replied. "But I can try."
With that, Sun closed her eyes in concentration. Only a few moments later, her legs began to glow. Then, the shape of the glow changed into one long appendage instead of two. When the glow faded, her legs had been replaced by the pink-scaled fish tail everyone was expecting.
"I did it…" Sun muttered in disbelief. Then, her expression changed to one of elation. "I did it! I can control my transformation! Now, I'm considered an adult!"
With that, Sun's tail started to glow and reverted back to a pair of human legs. In the next instant, Sun jumped off the stool she was sitting on and hugged Alfonzo tightly.
Thank you, Alfonzo!" Sun squealed happily. "Because you made me feel so good last night, I can control my transformation. If I had known this is how it worked, I would have done it much sooner."
Seeing the happy smile on Sun's face, the other three could only smile in return. However, when they heard her mention doing this sooner, their smiles turned wry.
"If this had happened any sooner, Gozaburo would have attacked Alfonzo and gotten himself killed." Ultear said while shaking her head.
"Yeah, because we all know he wouldn't have stopped until one of them were dead." Elicia added.
"Alright, we can talk about Gozaburo's death wish later." Alfonzo said while combing his fingers through Sun's hair. "For now, let's get cleaned up and head to the guild hall."
"Okay~." The girls replied as they all started washing up quickly.
About an hour later, Alfonzo, Elicia, Ultear, and Sun arrived at the guild hall, with Elicia and Sun locking arms with Alfonzo. Meanwhile, Ultear was pouting because she lost the game of Rock-Paper-Scissors to determine who would get to walk with Alfonzo like that.
Upon opening the guild hall's doors, the group of four drew everyone's attention for a moment. However, they quickly went back to doing whatever it was they were doing. At the same time, Gozaburo's eyebrow twitched when he saw Sun clinging onto Alfonzo. But other than that, he did nothing to stop it.
"Alfonzo, Elicia, Ultear, Sun, good morning." Mirajane said after she finished hanging new quest sheets on the quest board. "You're a little later than usual. Is everything okay?"
"Yeah, we were pretty tired after last night." Elicia replied with a smile. "Ultear is even having a little trouble walking."
"You know that, and you still kept me from holding on to Alfonzo for support." Ultear questioned with narrowed eyes.
"But you lost in Rock-Paper-Scissors." Elicia said innocently.
"If it was really that hard to walk, you should have said something, Ultear." Sun said with a concerned gaze. "I would have helped… Or, I would have let Alfonzo help you."
"How are you even walking like nothing is wrong." Ultear said, intending to mutter. However, her voice was much louder than she intended.
With that, the guild hall fell silent. Not because they were surprised to find out that Alfonzo might have taken two girls' virginities in the same night. Instead, it was because of the dark aura that was rolling off of Gozaburo.
Surprisingly, Gozaburo did not fly into a rage. Instead, he asked the waitress behind the bar for a glass of water. Once he received it, he stood up and walked calmly toward the group of new arrivals.
"It was only an hour ago that we said we needed to talk to Ren first and keep Gozaburo in the dark." Alfonzo said while face palming. "And now the cat's out of the bag as soon as we see him."
"Oops." Ultear said apologetically. "I didn't mean to be so loud."
Ignoring the banter, Gozaburo eventually arrived in front of the group. Stopping in front of Sun, who was looking at him with worry, Gozaburo wore a conflicted expression for a moment before it turned into one filled with resolution.
"Sun, I have to do this." Gozaburo said. "Please forgive me."
With that, Gozaburo splashed the glass of water down at Sun's legs. Meanwhile, As soon as Ren realized what Gozaburo was about to do, she got up and rushed toward him with a furious expression on her face. If their assumptions were wrong, they would have a lot of explaining to do.
While most people present were confused by Gozaburo's actions, he paid them no mind. Hoping and praying, in his mind, that the familiar glow would cover her legs before they turned into a fish tail, Gozaburo's mind almost collapsed when Sun's legs remained a pair of flesh and blood human legs.
Looking as if he wanted to explode in anger, Gozaburo continued staring at the water running down Sun's legs for a while. Then, he turned his head towards Alfonzo mechanically.
"You did it last night?" Gozaburo asked, suppressing his anger.
"We did." Alfonzo replied in a serious tone without averting his eyes.
"Fight me." Gozaburo demanded. "If you're not strong enough to protect her, I'll cancel this engagement if it's the last thing I ever do."
*Bang!*
"Are you stupid?" Ren asked after running over and punching Gozaburo in the back of his head. "Everyone in the guild knows he's stronger than you. On top of that, he has a much more varied skill set than increasing his physical strength and punching things. If there was something he couldn't protect Sun from, then there's nothing you could do about it either!"
"But… My Sun." Gozaburo said in a tearful tone from the floor. "She's not my little girl anymore. She's all grown up now."
Hearing the heartbreak in Gozaburo's tone, the members of the guild almost felt sorry for him. However, after remembering the way he usually acted when it comes to Sun, they quickly got over that feeling. Instead, now that the drama seemed to be over, they went back to doing whatever it was that they liked to do for the last few minutes before training started.
"Oh, get over it." Ren said, kicking Gozaburo in the ribs. "She's already seventeen. She stopped being a little girl a long time ago."
At that moment, Masa approached the group and knelt down next to Gozaburo.
"Come on Boss." Masa said as he lifted Gozaburo off the ground. "Why don't we go have a seat over there. We can get a drink to drown your sorrows, too."
Instead of responding verbally, Gozaburo started crying loudly, tears and snot covering his face. Somehow, Masa managed to keep all of the tears and snot from smearing on is suit. Then, when they were halfway to the bar, Masa turned back and gave Alfonzo a thumbs up.
'Masa~!' Alfonzo and Elicia thought simultaneously as they watched Masa walk away with Gozaburo.
"now that the nuisance is gone, it's almost time for you all to get to your usual training, right?" Ren asked with a smirk. Then, she focused her attention on Sun. "but before you go, I'm gonna borrow my daughter for a little while."
"Sure." Alfonzo replied with a smile. Then, he nudged Sun towards Ren. "Who am I to get between a chat between a mother and daughter. I would kill to be able to chat with Mama again."
Hearing that last sentence and the tone Alfonzo said it in, Elicia tightened her hug on Alfonzo's arm. Though most people thought he was talking about Bianca, Elicia knew that he was talking about both Bianca and his mother from his past life.
Fortunately, Elicia was the only one who picked up on the minor fluctuation in Alfonzo's tone. He did not want to become a spectacle by getting a bunch of sympathy hugs at the entrance of the guild hall.
A few moments later, the group separated. While Alfonzo, Elicia, and Ultear led Alzack, Strauss siblings, and Bisca into the back of the guild for training, Ren took Sun into the infirmary to have a little chat.
"So, tell me what happened last night?" Ren asked with excited curiosity.
"Um… It went like this…" Sun replied, starting her explanation.
She explained that she and Marin completed their quest and were on the way home. Deciding that they were ready to come back to Magnolia instead of spending another night in the town where they did their quest, they got off the train around midnight.
Then, on their way from the station, they ran into Elicia and Marin decided to crash at their house. Then, when they entered the house, they heard a loud scream and went to check it out. When they did, they saw Alfonzo and Ultear naked together having sex.
On a side note, during their time in the bathroom and the walk to the guild hall, Alfonzo, Elicia, and Ultear gave Sun a crash course on sex.
"*Sigh* I knew I should have put my foot down with your father." Ren said in an exasperated tone. "He didn't want me to explain what sex was because it might corrupt you."
"But Alfonzo and the others told me that sex is the ultimate way to show someone your feelings." Sun replied while tilting her head. "Why would that corrupt me?"
"I'll tell you later." Ren said, patting Sun on the head. "Go on an continue your story."
Nodding in uncertainty, Sun continued by telling Ren that Alfonzo noticed the three of them and let them join in if they wanted. She then explained how something deep down was telling her to join. So, she did.
"It didn't last very long, though." Sun said.
"Really, is he a quick shot?" Ren asked sounding a bit disappointed, but even more excited to hear some gossip.
"I'm not sure what you mean, Mom." Sun replied. "But from what Lici said, they continued for a few hours after I passed out."
"You passed out?" Ren muttered. "I guess that makes sense. Tell me what happened."
"Well… First he… licked… me down there for a couple of minutes until my head went all fuzzy and I screamed." Sun said, continuing her explanation. "Then, it felt like something inside of me changed when he put his thing inside me down there. After that, he started moving and it felt really good. After a few minutes, I passed out when my head got all fuzzy a second time."
"*Sigh* I see, a man who isn't a fraid to go down, huh? When was the last time Gozaburo did that for me?." Ren asked with a bit of envy in her tone. Then, she snapped back to her senses and continued. "It looks like I've got a lot to teach you. They only told you the bare minimum about sex."
Like that, Ren started her course on Sex Ed. Needless to say, Sun skipped training that day. As soon as Ren let her go, Sun remembered that she had not reported on her quest with Marin. So, she went to Makarov and gave the quest report. When Makarov questioned where Marin was, Sun replied that she was still at home getting some rest after the quest.
At around the same time Sun finished explaining the events of last night to her mother, the other mother related to the participants in last night's events, Ur, returned from her own quest. After reporting to Makarov, she went out to the backyard to watch the younger generation train. However, she was surprised to see that Ultear was not participating in the physical training> Instead, she was just manipulating her [Ice Magic] off to the side.
"Hey, Ultear, I'm back." Ur said while approaching her daughter.
"Hey, Mom, welcome back." Ultear replied, letting the ice construct on her palm dissipate. "How was the quest."
"No problem at all." Ultear replied with a smile. Then, she sat down next to Ultear and asked the question that was on her mind. "So, why are you sitting here by yourself? You usually join them for physical training."
Immediately, Ultear's cheeks reddened slightly, something Ur noticed all too easily.
"Is something wrong?" Ur asked, a small smirk forming on her lips.
"I… Can't really… Move my legs…" Ultear muttered softly.
"What did you say?" Ur asked, her smirk widening. "You gotta speak up a little."
"Mom!" Ultear squealed. "Stop teasing me. I know you heard what I said."
"Hahaha!" Ur laughed good naturedly. "Don't get mad, My Tear. It's one of the privileges of being a mother to embarrass their children. Anyway, so you finally did it, huh? How was it? You gotta tell me everything."
"*Sigh* It was way better than I expected." Ultear replied. "If I had known it would have been that good, I would have given up on trying to have my first time without Elicia present much sooner."
Like that, another session of mother-daughter gossip time started on the training grounds. And like Sun, Ultear's training was cut short due to the conversation.
