    I need some help from an Artists/ Map Maker and an Proofreader.


    At the moment i am in need of :


    - General Map (i will give out the outlines)


    - Cover ( i got an rough idea, may need artistic input)


    - Proofreader (Can be a fan of my work with good grammar skills or someone professional)


    - Character Pages (Drawn Portraits, maybe with background, maybe with secondary characters. Not to many acessorys.)


    - Scenes from the Chapters (With detailed background. 1 to 5 characters present. Maybe overviews from areas too.)


    - Special Fanservice Ecchi Scenes (Nothing fully Hentai is planned, atleast visually atm.)


    - Small Gif''s or Emotes (this is rahter low priority)


    -Quest writer to rewrite a part from the storysplot from the perspective of another character like Ari or the Queen. (Rather low priority. I am not that far in plot atm.)


    I am willing to pay for professional help/ work. Pleaes pm me with an link to previous work of you and a generic prize table or [something like this would cost 50 bucks] and alike. I want to make myself a book i would want to buy myself. I set down a budget for it that was normally subjected partly to my [game''s allowance]. But as there isn''t anything i specialy want in 2015 .... i have a bit money free.


    I may plan to sell this, maybe, not probably happening. But i would inquire you about copyright ownership and permission of duplication when we are getting to buisness. I am 24 and working at a steady job + good at managing money. So i am sensitive to legal issues and don''t plan to miss use anything.

    Characters


    <b>Spoiler</b> : <input type=''button'' value=''Show'' class=''spoilerButton''>Male Voice 1/??: Soon to be introduced~


    Female Voice 1/Elsa:


    Female Voice 2/Ari: A gullible, not so intelligent, but strong willed catgirl. I want to tease her~ Shes about 178 cm in height, haircolor is like a calico cat, eyes are blue. Favorite food is lightly salted tuna. Favorite drink isn''t milk, she has loactose intolerance like all cats (and a good portion of humans). If one could describe her in one word it would be [Bright].


    You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.


    Female Voice 3/Sara: I envison her with a [Demons] tail and [Succuby] wings. To bad she''s just a large woman with a [Demons] heart, when it comes to teasing Ari. About 219 cm in height, haircolor is black, rather long hair, eyes are black. [Black] suits her~


    Queen: I hate her. I want to hate her more! She''s slimy, arrogant and is leading the [Humans] into ruin together with her ancestors! About 175 cm in height, blonde hair, blue eyes. If described in one word [Stupid]. Imagine a queen like character that is haugthy and naughty. And you won''t miss her type.


    Elder Sebart/ Olward: A polite and intelligent old man. Saves the [Hero] a bit at the start and helps out in the long term. He is good to all the [Beastrace] slaves. And could be a good friend for our [Hero]. He is about 170 cm, seems to be over 80 years old, eyes are brown as it is his hair (does he dye it?). Described in one word would be [Guidance] or [Master]. Regarding if he is helping with the [Hero]''s goal or not, in regards with Ari.


    Me/Jacky: Main Character. A man from another world. Found itself in a body of a woman when he was teleported. A bit more perverted then the basic variant of a [Human]. His true age is 24, size 181 cm, normal build. Now he is stuck in a 164 cm, frail build and about 20 years old body of a temple priestess. He now has blond hair, it''s rather long (it''s a hassle ....), his new eyes are green.

 Chapter 1: Summoning

    Prologue: Old Words


    What is a [Hero]?


    Someone that is selfless, loyal and strong.


    That would be my answer.


    Am i  a [Hero]? ¡­ No!


    I have not an ounce of an heroism in my body and soul...


    What would you do if you were summoned to another world? Being brought before some important characters.


    Asked to save the world as the [Hero]. Without a way back? I would simply and full of wisdom, answer them promptly.


    ?FORGET IT!!¡°


    Then i would go about my own way. Have fun in this new world and get rich with my knowledge about chemistry and physics! They wouldn''t be able to hold me off. As i surely would have some cheat like ability or inhumane strength!


    That at least was the plan ¡­ if somehow ¡­ i would turn up in another world. So hear me out on my lifetimes story. And pray that you never come across some shabby old man in a flea market ¡­ selling antic books ¡­ Gosh.. how stupid was I.


    Be content in your life.


    Smile every day, even if it rains.


    Dream of the impossible.


    Cry a lot, even if people are starring.


    Just be you and nothing will go wrong ¡­


    1. Chapter: Summoning


    ¡°Ho~ Okay lets start my story at the very beginning, I am going to leave out that shabby man at the moment ¡­ I don''t want to be remembered about that.¡±


    Pure white was around me. I felt an incredible pull on my body. But I didn''t seem to move anywhere. Wondering about this dream. I still floated in nothingness. This is so bizarre. Even for a dream of my own. The pull increased trough time. It felt like it would rip me apart. But nothing was happening at all. Just pure white, as far as one could see. It was bright and blinding my eyes, so I just closed them up. I was well versed in the art of dream control. I could simply enter a state in my sleep, thinking about my own bedroom while laying in a comfy bed. And I would awake in this same room just shortly after closing my eyes.


    Normal you say? Yeah if not for the fact that the world I awakened too. Was just my dream. How did I ascertain that? Simply spin a coin, flip open a books page you never read or try to hold your breath. If the coin spins and spins, without getting to stop. If the books pages are all blank, except the ones you read before. If you can hold your breath really long, without a in-measurable pain. Then yes, you¡¯re truly in a dream. Just think about what you want to do, where you want to be or anything alike. And it will happen. It''s a dream so anything is possible.


    But this white nothingness ¡­ it doesn''t want to obey my thoughts. I can''t even check if I am dreaming or not, as nothing I knew is here. Except my own naked unmoving body. The pull became stronger and stronger with each moment, what is this place I silently thought to myself.


    ¡°Ha ¡­ when will I wake up from this ¡­ it''s not even a nightmare ¡­¡±


    Being in this white world, truly was boring. I wish I would just pop up somewhere in a decent dream. Add some standard setting to it and wake up at 5 am in the morning for work.  Just as I finished my thoughts process the pull bended my body and pulled my downwards.


    ¡°WHAT?¡±


    I was truly bend like someone pulled me down with all might. I couldn''t look down, but the whiteness vanished from my sight. Everything began to be painted in a devouring black.


    ¡°It hurts, it really hurts! Stop it!¡±


    Screaming. I could only scream. My body wouldn''t move as I wanted it to. And my screams where just in my mind. Even so I screamed out aloud in my thoughts. The pain got real, the pulling still intensified. And everything went black. Cold sweat started to form on my body. I could feel it flowing in the opposite direction of the pull. I started to feel the pressure of wind blowing onto my body. The pain was hilarious just a moment ago. Now it subsided with all the sensations I forgot.


    Cold. Wind. Sweat.


    The pain of being stark naked while falling sure was funny in itself. The pull stopped but I still was bend a little. I just couldn''t muster up the strength to straighten myself.


    About a few moments later. The blackness vanished and a blue sky came into my sight. The cold was inhumane, it felt like my blood would freeze if I only would keep falling a moment longer. I touched something. A cloud. I fell trough a cloud with breath taking speed. My eyes opened in shock. Yes. Now I am scared. I fell and fell, counting the seconds. The clouds became smaller and smaller and the ground would soon greet me back into its embrace.


    ¡°STOP! WAKE UP! STOOOOOPPPPP!!!¡±


    I could scream! I screamed and tried to move my body. My body finally began to move, and it tumbled in the air.


    ¡°AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW¡±


    The speed of tumbling, the falling sensation. I became incredible motion sick. But being way to scared to even puke my soul out. I stared at what seemed the ground, in all the short moments I tumbled into the right position.


    There it was ¡­ the ground. I could see mountains, valleys, trees and city¡¯s. The sight would be magnificent, if only not for this situation. I may have another minute or so to life.  My mind went blank. The whiteness greeted me back in its loving embrace. I didn''t flee from the situation, I just reverted it back.


    I could hear voices. They were in panic and footsteps were all over the place. So I am dead now? I clearly fell from somewhere high. Should I be able to hear anything even? Am I a ghost? My mind was flooded with nonsense, so I just smiled.


    Random Female Voice 1: ¡°AH! He''s coming too! Fast get some higher ranked healers here!¡±


    Random Mixed Voices: ¡°JES!¡±


    Oh, I see. I am not death jet. But how did I survive that fall. I should be smashed to a gooey paste by now. Hmm, I can''t seem to feel any pain. Is it the shock? It is the shock most likely ¡­ What a weird dream. Yeah really weird, I am going to complain to myself and to my last dinner when I am awake again. I shouldn''t have drunk so much wine ¡­


    The voices really are getting on my nerves. But I can''t do anything than lay around. Unmoving I am waiting for this dream to come to an end.


    Random Male Voice 1: ¡°Oh Heavens will, heal this mortals wound with your light. So it may embrace your warmth again. [Healing Touch]!¡±


    What the?


    A warm feeling spread through my body. Am I going crazy? What is this for a stupid dream? That sounded like a shabby incantation of some even more shabby magic out of an RPG ¡­ Okay it''s not my fault ¡­ clearly the wines and the few chapters of that fantasy novel I read before bedtime.


    Making a note in my mind list for ¡°don''t do¡±: Do not read fantasy novels and drink alcohol at the same time. Bad for your health. Mind list closed~


    Yeah ¡­ I messed up big time.


    As I lay there, the male voice repeated that chant over and over. Slightly getting out of breath after a few dozens times. The warmth I felt for each of the chants decreased. So yeah, I am about to finally die in this dream. I am going to wake up soon. That was horrible, at least I learned something from it.


    Random Male Voice 1: ¡°He''s going to die ¡­ when are the king''s palace healers coming here!! If you''re free go see to it!!!¡±


    Ha ¡­ he sure isn''t nice to his subordinates. What an idiot. I am already death, just sit back and relax. Still chanting that shabby magic, he didn''t give up. The amount of warmth was miniscule, as my conscious drifted away.....


    Sometime later that day


    Random Female 2: ¡°He''s waking up!¡±


    As I woke up. I was in a huge bedroom. Laying down on a king-size bed. It''s not over?


    Random Female 3: ¡°Inform the Queen and the Ministers!¡±


    Random Female Mix: ¡°Yes!¡±


    Random Female 2: ¡°Aww, please sir. Don''t stand up.¡±


    As I wanted to get up a pair of soft hands pressed down on my chest. Chest? That area feels somewhat different ¡­ Opening my eyes I stared into the face of the woman that pressed her hand against my chest. Moving my sight to my chest I prepared to state my discomfort of her actions ¡­ better to say I wanted to shout at her to keep her hand away from me. I already opened my mouth, but no sound came out. I just stared at my chest. My chest, yeah ¡­ how did it get like this. There was a pair of fairly b sized breasts where they shouldn''t be. The shock made me speechless.


    Random Female 2: ¡°OH pardon me sir. It wasn¡¯t my intuition to touch them so long ¡­ ¡°


    Random Female 3: ¡°Just shut up Ari. You¡¯re making it more complicated as it is.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­ I ¡­ that''s not true Sara I was just ¡­ uh helping!¡±


    Sara: ¡°Sure, now go sit in that corner till the Queen explained the Situation.¡±


    Looking at the two conversing without a worry. I could only feel relaxed. It was like a slap-stick comedy act. With that woman named Ari getting verbally hit, again and again. Till she reluctantly seated herself in a corner, drawing circles with her finger on the ground. Her tail and ears where pretty much lowered and showed her emotionally unstable mood. Wait, WAIT!! Calm your mind ¡­ that isn''t a real catgirl. It''s just a dream. Can''t be anything else ¡­ I am in a female body ¡­ there is a catgirl ¡­ and I am not hungry. So if it''s a dream ¡­


    I sprung from the bed in one swift motion. Target was the mopping catgirl!!


    Sara: ¡°Ah, Sir please stay in bed.


    To late. I already hugged the catgirl, that just turned her head towards the direction of the other woman¡¯s voice. Yay for cat ears and tails!


    Ari: ¡°Uhh.. please don''t ¡­¡±


    I touched her ears up. So soft and fluffy. Huhu, all mine!


    Ari: ¡° ¡­ ah ¡­ don''t ¡­ ¡°


    Hehe no chance in hell. My chin was seated on her head, while one hand held her neck the other caressed her left ear. CATEARS!!! This is the best dream ever, I never managed to get a genuine catgirl into one of my dreams. It seemed to hard to imagine all the movements. At least till now~


    Ari: ¡° ¡­ nhh ¡­ Ah, Sara please help ¡­ ahhhh ¡­. Sir, please!¡±


    Hehe! Cat ears to takeout please~ I nibbled on these tasty ears, while she struggled a bit with words of plea. Yeah, struggle a bit more. Your hushed voice is just the perfect side dish~


    Sara: ¡°Sir, keep it in moderation~¡±


    With that sentence I was lifted up by two strong arms, that grabbed under my fragile thin excuse of arms. Whoa ¡­ I am being lifted like a baby, even with this light body. That shouldn''t be so easy!


    Ari: ¡°Ah ¡­ thanks Sara~¡±


    Sara: ¡°Sir, you can do that after you''re checked upon the house healer. So please lay down in the bed till then.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­ ¡±


    With that I was carried to the bed. Put down and wrapped up in the sheet. Really ¡­ I was wrapped up like a spring roll. Facing upwards I looked into the eye of a cool looking beauty, she was clearly human. At least I think so. Her height must be 2 meters ¡­ or more.


    Me: ¡°Ahh ¡­ uhmm sorry ¡­ ¡°


    Sara: ¡°If your sorry sir, then everything is okay. Please don''t get up without an okay anymore.¡±


    Ari: ¡°That''s not it! He sexualy harassed me!¡±


    Sara: ¡°It can''t be called sexual harassment if two female body¡¯s are involved. Can it?¡±


    Ari: ¡°Uhh ¡­ but ¡­ that ¡­.¡±


    Me: ¡°Uhmm ¡­ sorry, it just came over me.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­ it''s okay ¡­ it didn''t hurt ¡­.¡±


    Blushing while saying that, Ari seemed to be okay with me apologizing. What a strange dream. I finally got a hold of an catgirl here and now I am confined to a bed. And whats with that reaction ¡­ normally she should be in heat or something ¡­ it''s my dream right?


    Sara: ¡°So sir, please stay in bed. Later you''re free to have a go with her if it pleases you~¡±


    With a sheepishly innocent smile Sara proclaimed that I could have Ari for breakfast. Ari just stood there with an open mouth. And I began to laugh really hard.


    Me: ¡°Haha, sure sure. One order of cat ears with butter-cream please~¡±


    Sara''s sheepishly smile widened while Ari''s face reddened to tomato color. Ha, teasing her is fun. I thing I get it. Sara is teasing her too for that reaction. Oh Ari is surely gullible ¡­ and sweet~ Even if her ears tasted a bit salty, she should clean them more often. I am hoping that she isn''t only cat washing them ¡­ that would be a bit gross.


    While waiting for the character named queen. I watched Sara tease Ari with carefully played wordings. Like:


    He sure would come for you~ When you call him.


    How about going down on it? Your feet seem to give up.


    There''s sure a heat in here, lets open up a bit~


    About 1 hour later


    I enjoyed the conversation. A dream were I was female, with a catgirl and a huge woman in the same room. Was somewhat crazy, but it had a nice feel. After some time a queen like character appeared, with a bunch of old guys and maids.


    My eyes were mostly focused on the maids, the demihuman ones. Hehe, there were two more catgirls , a wolfgirl, two  sheep like ones and a foxy foxgirl. Bundled together with about the same amount of normal human woman.


    The maids formed a background line. Before them stood the old guys and before those the Queen positioned herself. Without warning everyone bowed and the Queen began to speak.


    Queen: ¡°Oh [Hero], summoned to our World. We are truthfully sorry that our summoning was just a bit unsuccessful. So that we were in need, to transfer the soul of the [Hero] into an appropriate vessel.¡±


    Uhh, nice Background Info. But is that really needed ¡­.


    Queen: ¡°We summoned you oh [Hero], to help us in the War against the [Demon King]. We beg you to forgive our previous failure and fight for us against our all foe.¡±


    As she said that, the Queen got to the ground and did a overly eccentric apology (Dogeza?). Following that everyone else went through the same motion. I couldn''t really see them well being wrapped up and all. The ones with tails had them sticking out. A sight to behold~


    But it was pretty clear, that something was amiss. After that the Queen explained, with the summoning I came to this world  known as [Enia]. I was at the moment in the king''s palace of the [Human Territory]. In the city of [Rossburg]. Through the summoning a hero should have been summoned to the temples chamber. I did get summoned to the chamber, but half of my body was stuck in the floor of it ¡­ After they tried to keep me alive with magic, they succeed in soul transfer magic when I was on my last breaths. As they couldn''t go about to search for a fitting male vessel in that short time. A priestess of the temple volunteered, that had a high aptitude in magic, which was compatible with my soul. And so my soul was now etched to her body and her soul was lost together with my genuine <del>half </del>hero body.


    While she explained that, the maids got me out from the spring roll wrapping. Clothed me with some high grade fabric and seated me on the bed. I mechanically let them drag me around. I was just perplexed, as I never would go about such a strange setting ¡­ for a simple dream to harass one single catgirl ¡­. Even if it was fun ¡­.


    Me: ¡°So ¡­ this isn''t a dream ¡­.¡±


    Queen: ¡° ¡­. Yes, please forgive me and my people. We truly need you oh [Hero] ¡­.¡±


    Me: ¡° ¡­. ¡­. ¡­.  ¡­.¡±


    Me: ¡° So I am really in another world ¡­. ¡°


    Looking down on my hand. That frail looking hand now belonged to me. And the previous owner died in my place ¡­.


    It seemed so unreal. But even in a dream I shouldn''t be able to feel this many different things. The smoothness of the sheet. The fluffiness of the cat ears And the stares of the people. This isn''t a dream ¡­ I just got summoned to a different world. A bit chaotically ¡­. but whoever said that a summoning was an joy ride ¡­.


    While being in deep thoughts. The Queen rose up from her previous apologetic stance.


    Queen: ¡°[Hero], it may be not much. But we will fulfill all of your wishes, if you decide to help us. If not ¡­. we will at least provide you with what you will need to life. In our beautiful and bountiful land.¡±


    So they''re going the chose /a path/ mentality here. Thinking about it ¡­ I really didn''t want to fight anyone for the sake of being  a [Hero] ¡­.  But someone died for me ¡­. even if it was their fault that I was nearly dieing in an strange circumstance. That was a bit of a burden on me ¡­.


    Me: ¡°Everything I wish ¡­.¡±


    Queen: ¡°Yes, oh [Hero]. Name it and it shall be yours!¡±


    I could get everything ¡­. I don¡¯t need to actually fight anyone? Could I just give them knowledge about weapons and such? Like how to make guns and bombs and then blast the idiot Demon King into smithereens? Hmm ¡­.


    Looking at Ari the catgirl I harassed earlier, I somehow regretted it. I could have befriended her ¡­ but yeah there are more chances out there. Or maybe even with her, who knows. She could be an /M/, for all that I know of her at the moment.


    Me: ¡°Hmm, I will help you defeat that evil. But I am not really much of a fighter. Even less so in this frail looking body.¡±


    Making arm gestures and provocatively looking at my own body. I was showing off my fake discomfort~ Yeah, no worry¡¯s there.


    Queen: ¡°Oh [Hero] your help is appreciated! Don''t fret over the small details. You should be able to be a magnificent [Hero] even in another body. A soul is the vessel of ones might. So as long as your soul is there, all your magic power should be too~¡±


    Me: ¡° ¡­. oh , but isn''t this body making me weaker?¡±


    Queen: ¡°No, so don''t worry oh [Hero]. Your magnificent magic is still present in you!¡±


    Me: ¡° ¡­. I don''t know if this body holds my magic ¡­ ¡°


    The queen looked puzzled. And whispered something to one of the old guys. Hmm, so that¡¯s a problem ¡­. But I couldn''t lie there ¡­. going full speed ahead with /Yeah leave it to me/ I would have been digging my own grave ¡­.


    Queen: ¡°Oh [Hero], we would like to check your magic aptitude. It should at least be greater then your vessels. We did transfer all of your soul ¡­. I think ¡­. ¡°


    Big time failure ¡­. Am I going to be kicked out? Or more likely ¡­ kept in a cell. As they don''t want the failure running about ¡­. While thinking that, one of the old men chanted some words and stretched out his hand in my direction.


    A white ball formed and flew towards me. When it hit me, it didn''t hurt me. The ball grew in volume, while it stuck on my forehead, ¡­. it expanded really fast. While doing so the people present sighed in relief, most likely that meant I had a high magic aptitude. Then it happened, the ball became too gradually golden when it stopped growing. A gold color that wasn''t shiny at all, more of an darkish gold. It had tints of red and orange all over. Looked a lot like my own hair color ¡­.


    The the bubble burst and a mixed gold color fog dispersed into thin air.


    Me: ¡°Is ¡­. is that good?¡±


    Shocked the Queen looked at me. Not sure what to say, she looked back and forth between the old man that summoned the ball like magic and me.

    Queen: ¡°Elder Sebart ¡­. ¡°


    Elder Sebart: ¡°Queen ¡­. this is the result. He ¡­. he has an incomprehensible magic aptitude ¡­. with a mix  magic ¡­.¡±


    OH ¡­. Mix magic? Is that bad? Can''t I have a leisurely life in another world, if I am not a shiny light magic [Hero] ¡­. God I hate them ¡­. what''s so good about being shiny ¡­.


    Me: ¡°Is ¡­. is that a problem? I seem to be able to use magic, as far as I understood the procedure just now ¡­.¡±


    Queen: ¡°Uhh ¡­ yeah, but ¡­. whats with this ¡­. impure color!!¡±


    The Queen dropped her honorifics. Not even mentioning the word [Hero] anymore. She dropped a bombshell of negative emotions in a single word. ¡°impure¡±.


    Gah I want to slap her ¡­ and not sexually, just plainly slap her. That color is close to my real hair''s color ¡­ don¡¯t insult my genetic match up! A mixed color is beautiful!


    Elder Sebart: ¡°My Queen ¡­. it still could be of heroic value. A golden color shows aptitude in [Soul] magic. For the hints of orange and red ¡­. that should be interpreted as [Power] and [Fire] magic aptitude ¡­..¡±


    Queen: ¡° ¡­. ¡­.¡±


    Elder Sebart: ¡° It could be a heroic match up ¡­. it surely is rare ¡­. for a human to posses more then one.¡±


    So ¡­. it''s not that bad? But anyways ¡­. [Fire] magic!!! Oho, maybe I can artificially heat up a room slowly ¡­. just you know ¡­. cause it gets cold in winter. [Power] magic ¡­. I don''t want to know how my new frail body would look with that ¡­.like a muscle woman ¡­. but the bad kind ¡­. Like going all *biki biki* with my muscles aching and bulking outside ¡­. For [Soul], is that like healing?


    Queen: ¡°[Hero] ¡­. ¡°


    Oh ¡­. now I am a [Hero] again, lucky me, when you need me ¡­.


    Me: ¡°Yes, my Queen? What can I, as humble servant of yours, do for one of such mighty and benevolent statue.¡±


    Let''s smear as much butter on my words as I can. I am going to creep up your ass, as much as possible, ¡­ at least verbally. And using that puppy eye look with a big fake smile. If one would need grease for cooking, one time rubbing my words into that pan and it would be greasy for years!


    Queen: ¡° ¡­. ¡­. ¡­. ¡­. ¡­.¡±


    Queen: ¡° ¡­.We will formally introduce our [Hero] to the people tomorrow, so rest till then. These maids are assigned to be yours.¡±


    *Blank out* The Queen pointed at the group of about 12 or so maids, I needed to gulp down the saliva that formed immediately! I wanted to complain!


    Such MISLEADING WORDINGS!!


    I would get demoted to rapist at once ¡­. if I took that wrongly. Please say ¡°assigned to serve you¡± ¡­. not that they¡¯re mine, or that it would change anything ¡­. but please think of the nekomimi ones in there!! Chanting some self made prayers for control over my body I kept listening to the queen with one small part of my brain. Hmm, Nekomimi~


    Queen: ¡°I will leave the rest of the explanations to Elder Sebart.¡±


    Huh what?


    The Queen moved out from the room, together with most of the elders. After pushing the work onto Elder Sebart with a hint of disgust ¡­. She still isn''t happy about my aptitude and somewhat angry with that Elder ¡­. or me?


    Elder Sebart: ¡°Please leave me and the [Hero] alone for awhile. Oh, get us something to drink and a few snacks if possible.¡±


    The maids bowed and left the room ¡­. Damn, Ari is gone for now. I wanted to tease her to wipe my mind from the need to slap the Queen ¡­. later, I think will do ¡­.


    Now onto Part 3! I will delte this mark later on.


    After a short moment of silence


    That elderly man seated himself on a chair near the fireplace of this room. And beckoned me to come sit on the other one with some small hand gestures. I probably should ¡­. he defended me a bit ¡­ or did he defend himself? I want to know more¡­. So I got up and seated myself upright on the chair that was pointed at, with an good attitude. I shouldn''t be disrespectful ¡­. hmm Great Elder Sebart? That sounds stupid ¡­.


    Elder Sebart: ¡°Just relax now. We have a lot to talk about. As you likely found out. The Queen isn''t that happy with what she got. So we''re going to show some progress, so that neither of us will get hanged in time~¡±


    Uh ¡­. Okay ¡­. he messed up most likely too ¡­. Getting hanged ¡­.


    Me: ¡° ¡­.  ¡­.¡±


    Elder Sebart: ¡°Relax, I don''t plan on dieing anytime soon. So we will be pretty busy from tomorrow on. Let me correct some of the Queens statements ¡­. and tell you what you¡¯re about to do for a living for the next years.¡±


    So , that''s already planned out ¡­.


    Elder Sebart: ¡°I should have probably asked you, but what is your name?¡±


    Me: ¡° ¡­. That would be Jack Ittman, Elder Sebart sir.¡±


    Elder Sebart: ¡° First. Drop the sir and the elder, I am not that old. Just call me by my name, that is Olward. Second. I think we should change your name to fit your current appearance. Even if your former body was male, you can''t really introduce yourself to other people with that name anymore.¡±


    Okay. So a girly name? Uhh ¡­. this is more weird then I thought it would be ¡­.


    Olward: ¡°Any ideas? It''s the name your going to use for quite a long time, so chose well.¡±


    Me: ¡°Hmm, lets go with Jacky. That''s still close to my original name and not to feminine.¡±


    Olward: ¡°So Jacky, is there anything that you want to ask before I start explaining?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Hmm ¡­.¡±


    It''s a bit of a strange feeling, just from adding a ¡°y¡± to my name. My sister shortened her name Jacqueline with Jacky ¡­. so it at least should be recognized as a female name. Naming sense my not be my family¡¯s strength ¡­.


    But more important business first!


    Jacky: ¡°Say, is there heat?¡±


    Olward: ¡°Heat in like the warmth of the sun or the fire?¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. Sorry I meant the state of the mind and body, of demihumans like Ari as example?¡±


    Olward: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Just cause ¡­. you know.¡±


    Olward: ¡°Yeah I think what you mean is firmly etched into the soul of some demihuman races. It''s 1 time a year for most of these, some are having it more regular But that ¡­. its already over for Ari''s kind.¡±


    ¡­. Damn There goes a holidays worth of plans of teasing her. This is going to be a long year ¡­. It''s like the release date of a game ¡­. and you just got the long awaited answer when it would be ¡­. just that it ends up years later.


    Ahhh ¡­. so much for my luck ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. too bad ¡­.¡±


    Olward: ¡° ¡­. if it cheers you up. There is a way to induce that with herbs, without the pregnancy danger. But that doesn''t concern you, mostly. If you listen well, I may give you some~¡±


    SLY OLD MAN!! I am now hooked to every word you say! Better keep that promise or my trust levels for you will sink to rock bottom~ With sparkling big eyes I was nodding while thinking how great this world is! Wisdom, pure brilliant wisdom was seated there!


    Jacky: ¡°Go on ahead Olward explain. I am listening!¡±


    Olward: ¡°So then lets start.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°YES!¡±


    Olward: ¡°About what the Queen said. It''s mostly true. Your summoned to defeat the [Demon King]. But no one expects you to do that right away or anytime soon. The state of war is at the moment rather peaceful, but both sides are preparing for the next time. Licking their wounds from the last meeting.¡±


    A short sigh from Olward, showed that he clearly remembered something bad from that time ¡­.


    Olward: ¡°After the [Demons], we are not that friendly with the [Dwarf''s] or the [Elf¡¯s] ¡­. neither race will you find in the [Human territory] We are at bad terms with the [Beastrace''s] too, mostly duo the Slavery issue. Ahh ¡­ I shouldn''t forget the [Fairyrace] ¡­.¡±


    That is ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°So ¡­ the [Humans] are hated by everyone else?¡±


    Olward: ¡°Yes, sadly that is true. Only the [Dragonrace] is neutral.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°That ¡­.¡±


    Olward: ¡°Don''t worry. Most of the ones of the [Beastrace] you will find here, are born here trough breeding farms. So they don''t know any better.¡±


    That isn''t really doing much ¡­. aren''t the [Humans] here the most hated race? Wait ¡­. breeding farms ¡­. I may be a pervert, but that just doesn''t sound right ¡­. Farmplay, like sheering a sheepgirl or milking a cowgirl would be fun. But real farms ¡­. like how they¡¯re in my world ¡­. I am sorry Ari, I won''t jump onto you anymore ¡­. At least till you allow it ¡­. I can''t get the image of an pet store with clearance sale out of my head ¡­. and it''s not the good kind of pet store ¡­. I just hope that its like a small village or something ¡­ and not a mass quantity farming barn ¡­.


    Olward: ¡°You seem rather distressed. Isn''t it the same handling like in your world?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°With animals that is. But demihumans ¡­. aren''t they humans too?¡±


    Olward: ¡°I can see that we two can be friends and partners in work. I myself think that racial difference are nothing, as long as one has an unique soul. But you should keep such thoughts quite for yourself¡­. It is frowned upon to go against tradition. Here demihumans are just a little bit more then domestic animals.¡±


    Wait! Huge problem! Forget breeding farms ¡­.


    Humans aren''t eating demihumans I hope ¡­. I am going to be a vegetarian if so ¡­. I am going to establish the hero founded Dehumanization Secret Circle (DSC!) if that''s a daily occurrence ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. they¡¯re not breed for meat are they ¡­.¡±


    A dull silence spread, while Olward closed his eyes.


    Olward: ¡°Not anymore. A few hundredth years ago, that may have been so. In some rural parts. But humans found out, that they got sick from consuming demihuman flesh ¡­. So it''s just breeding for slaves, for quality wool and milk and for sports now.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°That''s at least not that bad ¡­.¡±


    Olward claps in it hand to get my focus back.


    Olward: ¡°Let''s stay on track. We were at the /Everyone Hates Us/ part. To make it short. After the war will most likely before the war. That will only stop if [Humans] conquer anyone, if the [Humans] are annihilated or if we learn to coexist. The Queen and the Nobles want the first choice, the [Demons] want the second and the other races mostly want the last. As far as I know~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°And I am playing a major role in choice one ...¡±


    That''s an hard information to chew on ¡­.


    Olward: ¡°At least that is what the Queen expects you to do. The compromise that the Nobles would still be good with, would be conquer the Demons and befriend anyone except the beastraces.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­ Because they want to keep their slaves, most likely?¡±


    Olward: ¡°Yes, but mostly the slaves that are spread out in the [Human territory]. Are only partly [Beastrace]. So a truce or friendship would only release the purebred ones back. The difference in statue, look and strength was too much for [Humans] to bear. So they crossbreed the [Beastrace] with themselves. What came out are the {more human and partially beastrace} slaves you can see in the palace and everywhere else.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. So purebred [Beastrace] are more animalistic. And the ones breed in the [Human territory], are mostly [Human] ¡­. Makes it not really better to treat them so inhuman.¡±


    Olward: ¡°That''s true, but lets get on track. I think we could discuss this for weeks to come~¡±


    Uhh ¡­. I need to apologize to Ari. I should be a good Master ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Right, sorry continue.¡±


    Olward lent back a bit and continued to explain the time table for the next weeks.


    Olward: ¡°Tomorrow will be the announcement to the public and some gathering of nobles. Just relax and don''t anger anyone~ After that we will Start your training~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°What will I be trained in exactly?¡±


    Olward: ¡°For starters, I would like to train you in [Basic Fire] and [Basic Power] magic. After that would be [Basic soul] magic training, so that you can understand were you stand in terms of combat powers. We will measure your [Mana] the magic energy that is produced in your soul. Before we start anything of that. With your aptitude in magic, I expect it to be a rather high amount. These basics should need about a month or two. After that we are going to practice these basics on live targets in the first level of the dungeon. Then when the first level is cleared we will see how to go onwards from there. Overall it should take us half a year to reach that point.¡±


    Half a year ¡­. for basics of magic and fighting ¡­.


    If this was a game I could just shout out a stupid chant and clear that dungeon in a week or so ¡­. But [Mana], seriously? Please tell me it''s not what I think it is!


    Jacky: ¡° About [Mana] ¡­. is it consumed in set numbers for a spell or something alike?¡±


    Olward: ¡°Set numbers? No, not as far as I know of it. [Mana] is used up in regards to a few basic calculations. Like power, speed, size, attribute aptitude, channeling time, state of mind, weather or terrain and some more. To say it in easy terms. If you¡¯re in a pool of water. A water type magic would need less [Mana], as you could gather the water around you and so not wasting [Mana] to create it. If your in a desert ¡­. using water type magic would need a lot more [Mana]~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Ah. That''s good to know.¡±


    So, it is not some stupid parallel universe were an [Fire-Arrow] would cost 30 [Mana] and be done with. I would cry if it were so ¡­. physics and chemistry are bound into this worlds magic. So I should probably see magic as a means of bending these laws.


    While thinking for myself. Some maids brought in drinks and snacks. It was a kind of alcoholic beverage (ale like) and some dried fruits and meat. The maids left as fast as they came. Me and Olward were alone again. Munching on some dried fruits, I listened to Olward.


    Olward: ¡°So lets continue. Magic, the [Basic Attributes] are the following: [Wood], [Fire], [Earth], [Metal], [Water]¡±


    Hmm ¡­. that sounds a bit stupid. There¡¯s missing a lot ¡­.


    Olward: ¡°[Intermediate Attributes] are: [Air], [Void], [Heal], [Power], [Ice], Lightning] . [Advanced Attributes] are: [Light], [Darkness], [Soul]. And the last attribute is known as [Holy]. Only a few individuals are able to hold magic of that last attribute.¡±


    Olward: ¡°Mostly anything you can imagine falls under one of these attributes. As for your aptitude. You''re gifted with  one basic, one intermediate and one advanced~ You will be able to learn these 3 easier then any others. It brings some setbacks too. Like you wont be able to easily learn [Wood] or [Void] magic. Duo interference from your [Fire] and [Power] aptitude. It should be hard especially hard to learn any advanced attribute magic except [Soul]. Normally [Humans] do posses only one of these Attributes. That was why the Queen was ... a bit out of tact.¡±


    Hmm ¡­ that is a lot of info. But I think they cover a lot with these attributes. Like how one could make rain clouds by combining [Water]+[Fire]+[Air] magic. Or how [Metal]+[Lightning] could create effects like magnetism.


    Jacky: ¡°So it''s really a complex system. What is [Soul] magic? There seems to be [Heal] as it''s own categorie ¡­.¡±


    Olward: ¡°As one would suspect. [Soul] magic is a formless magic type, similar to [Void] magic. But not as destructive.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Like?¡±


    Olward: ¡°Like being able to use [Mana] in it''s raw form. As anything one could imagine. Be it a spear, a arrow, a sword or an shield. [Soul] magic gives [Mana] a solid form basically. It''s an useful magic, specially for defense against other magic~¡±


    Okay ¡­. that means I could make myself something barrier like with soul magic. Problems of defense worry¡¯s are over ¡­ If I am able to do something like that.


    Jacky: ¡°That sounds really useful. How is such a magic like a flame activated?¡±


    Olward: ¡°Hmm, how~ It''s rather easy. First you need to find the feeling of [Mana] in your body trough training. Then you need to gather it in an spot, like your hands or somewhere you want to use it. Then you imagine what you want to create with your [Mana]. Just shouting [Fireball] wont conjure some magic~ But doing so helps envison it.¡±


    Good, atleast it wont be a shouting contest ¡­. if i can do without ....


    Olward: ¡°You will need to imagine what a flame is, how it feels, what it should do and how it is created. And then even imagine how it is gaining speed, so that It would fly towards your target.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Doesn''t sound that easy ¡­.¡±


    Olward: ¡° ¡­. Hmm, try it out then. First stop chewing on that and start concentrating on your heartbeat. Normally it takes a few years for one to even find the magic in oneself. But for your high aptitude ¡­ it should be rather quick.¡±


    Ugh ¡­ I forgot my manners. I shouldn''t speak while chewing on something ¡­. So okay, concentrating on my heartbeat. I can''t fail here ¡­.


    *beat-beat  beat-beat*


    Olward: ¡°Good now try to focus your mind more on the heartbeat. Envision it beating steady without a change.¡±


    My heart, its heartbeat. Listening to the sound of its constant rhythm. I can surely feel it more clearly if I focus my mind on it.


    Olward: ¡°Try to relax and keep focusing on your heartbeat. Feel it pulsing through your body.¡±


    Hmm, meditation is sure relaxing. I was listening to my heartbeat, that steady sound calmed me down from all the sources of chaos around me.


    Olward: ¡°You can feel your heartbeat pulsing into every corner of your body. Try to focus that feeling now onto the tip of your fingers~¡±


    Focusing ¡­ easier said then done. Okay, thing about that feeling just being in my thumb ¡­.


    Olward: ¡°Good, very good. Keep it up. Gather more. You''ve got it!¡±


    Olward: ¡°Oh your forming it outside already, really magnificent!¡±


    Do I? I opened my eyes. At the tip of my thumb was a small white uneven ball. It waved and shivered in all direction, while growing.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. Wow, this is magic ¡­.¡±


    Does it come from the heart? Why didn''t I ever realize it when I was in my old world? Isn''t my mind tricking me ¡­.


    Olward: ¡°AHH!¡±


    *BOOOOOM*


    A loud explosion was heard from the room of the hero. Losing concentration during the creation of magic, will end up in it dispersing violently to the surroundings. Just close after Olward seemed to see a change in the balls behavior. It grew to the size of an basketball and busted. The blast flung both of them to opposite walls of the room. Two heavy thuds were loudly resounding after that. Shortly after some maids came running into the room, just so that they could run out as fast as possible again to inform the palace healers.


    Jacky: ¡°... Heh ¡­. Ma ¡­.gic ¡­. ¡°

 Chapter 2: Party time~

    Chapter 2: Party time~


    Losing ones consciousness hurts not as much as I thought it would. When I woke up I was in another room, about half the size as the one before. When I looked down on my hand that performed the [Magic]. I still had all my fingers and I didn''t seem to be heavily injured, at the first glance atleast. But half of my arm and my hands skin was a few tones off from it''s natural color. Did  I blow up my arm?


    Cold sweat ran down on my back. I just now blasted myself ¡­. and they seem to have healed my lost arm ¡­. [Magic] ¡­ isn''t something you joke around with ¡­.


    I heard footsteps coming from outside. Then a woman I didn''t knew entered the room.


    Female Voice 1: ¡°So you''re finally up. Fu~ Lets dress you up for now~¡±


    Cold sweat began to run down onto my back. I knew that voice. But it had a dangerous vibe now ¡­ her eyes were shining literally, when she corrected her glasses after she said /for now/. I don''t want to ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Uhh, hello. Cou ¡­ could you send for Ari or Sara? I am more comfortable with them ¡­. ¡°


    Female Voice 1: ¡°No can do~ Fufu~ We are running out of time~ The schedule is tight, you know~¡±


    Ahh! HELP! Stop approaching me! I fled from the top of the bed to the window in panic.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. to high ¡­. ¡°


    I muttered it aloud. Damn I was about 5 or so story¡¯s above ground ¡­. My escape route trough the door ¡­ blocked.


    Female Voice 1: ¡°Fufu~ Come here cute [Hero] it wont hurt~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°STAY AWAY!¡±


    Grabbing a chair that was close to me I tried to keep her away. But that woman just grabbed the chair and flung it against the wall on her left side ¡­. The chair exploded from the destructive force when it hit the wall and some bits of stone and wood were flying around.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    I am dead. I am dead. I am dead. If only I could escape from here. I could already see myself being molested to death ¡­.


    I was frozen on the spot.


    Female Voice 1: ¡°Bad [Hero]~ Now let me dress you up~ Fufu~¡±


    With a few swift movements my clothes were changed before I even realized it.


    Jacky: ¡°Huh?¡±


    Female Voice 1: ¡°See that wasn''t so bad~¡±


    Yeah ¡­. but that look you gave me ¡­ WAIT! I just now saw a problem. That woman was now holding up my panties that I had on me just moments ago ¡­. normally that would to be expected after changing ones clothes. But the clothes that I had on me a moment before, were a long white dress-like pajama and some panties. Now I had on me some frilly dress, some fine shoes, some silk gloves, had my hair done. I was pantie-less ¡­. How did I know? It was rather fresh ¡­.


    Female Voice 1: ¡°What a good smell~ Fu~¡±


    ¡­. There stood the culprit. Seeming to enjoy smelling my panties. Seriously ¡­. there are perverts who do this in real life ¡­. With an astonished face I could just look at that sight.


    Female Voice 1: ¡°Fufufu~ Ahh no good~ We can''t dawdle here~ Lets go~¡±


    While putting my panties away in a small pouch ¡­. she didn''t even change her tone much. Hey wait!


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. I need these ¡­.¡±


    Female Voice 1: ¡°Fu~ What are you talking about I wonder?¡±


    Jacky: ¡° I NEED THESE PANTIES GIVE THEM BACK! NOW!¡±


    Female Voice 1: ¡°Hmm~ No time, lets go~¡±


    She just grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the room. While grinning like  evil reincarnated ¡­. she didn''t listen to one of my complains. As more and more people were seen in the corridor, I began to keep quite and resigned myself to be pulled around ¡­.


    Olward: ¡°Ah finally! I was worried that Elsa wouldn''t get you up, if you were still too exhausted from that.¡±


    Elsa: ¡°You worry to much old man~ Just die already, so that you can get replaced~¡±


    ¡­. In a friendly tone that woman just ¡­. Huh? Dog ears? ¡­.


    Olward: ¡° Hmm, as bad mouthed as ever, I see. Still Elsa as head-maid, you of all should show some diligence before the [Hero]! Stop that and focus on your tasks.¡±


    Elsa: ¡°Ha~ Who is it that failed so bad~ Getting my cute [Hero] injured in the moment when I was a bit busy~¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. could you please stop calling me cute ¡­. ?¡±


    Elsa: ¡°Oh no [Hero] do you want to be called sexy, doll-like or even ¡­.. Fufu~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°¡­. Please keep me out of your delusions ¡­.¡±


    Elsa: ¡°Fufu~ [Hero] is so cute when embarrassed~¡±


    There''s no merit in talking with her. I see~ A genuine pervert was found~ I need a dog whistle ¡­. how could a doggirl be so bossy. Wait, okay ¡­. I should stop with my stereotype delusions myself ¡­ First I need my panties back!


    Jacky: ¡°Please hand them back.¡±


    Elsa: ¡°Ohh let''s go to the party hall~ Everyone is waiting, Fufu~¡±


    Olward: ¡°Yes, we shouldn''t make them wait longer.¡±


    Saying so Olward showed no interest in my plea. It was truly a tune of despair that I could hear ringing in my ears. Elsa was humming something ¡­. Please God, let her be to busy to ever see me again ¡­.


    So I went trough a pompous wooden door into a huge room, that was fit to hold a medieval dance party, being without panties. What greeted me were the stares of everyone inside.


    Seems I truly came to late ¡­.


    Queen: ¡°Ah there you are [Hero]. I hope you''re alright now, that you were healed up after what happened a week ago.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Yes I am fully healed my Queen, I appreciate the kind words.¡±


    A week, huh. It seems I was rather long absent ¡­. [Magic] can''t heal everything in a flash, I should note that down.


    Queen: ¡°Come follow me [Hero], I will personally introduce you to my people~¡±


    Whoa, how kind of you ¡­. The Queen dragged my feet around just like Elsa was doing a moment ago. Introducing me to all kinds of nobles. They were mostly middle-aged or elder men. Nobles that I was introduced always had the same kind of flow to them: ¡°Hello I am /XY/ Lord of this and that~ I am so great~ I will help you with anything I have got~¡±


    Sweet talk ¡­. after a few hours of introducing the Queen finally let go of my hand. Moving away with the words.


    Queen: ¡°I need to prepare the next stage, wait here [Hero].¡±


    And left me standing somewhere in the midst of these nobles. Moving my eyes around, I could neither see Olward or Elsa. Thanks God ¡­ Elsa isn''t here ¡­.


    While thinking that some voice came up behind me.


    Male Noble Voice 1: ¡°Excuse me, would the [Heroine] be so kind and allow me to introduce myself.¡±


    Oh, what silently creeped up behind me was a good looking example of an young nobleman. It was sickening. The Nobles I was introduced too, all seemed to know the story of me being originally male. Some even joked about it, while the Queen seemed to force a smile. This one ¡­. he thinks that I am female ¡­. nothing wrong with that, as I have a female body. But it''s sickening, with his attitude and appearance.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Male Noble Voice 1: ¡°My name is Heinrich von Bescof, I appreciate the chance to speak with the beautiful [Heroine] that will safe us from the [Demons]~¡±


    So it doesn''t matter if I say yes or no~ Fine lets play that game of yours~


    Jacky: ¡°Nice to meet you Heinrich. Thanks for your offer to show me the buffet~¡±


    Heinrich: ¡°Uhh ¡­ eh?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Didn''t you just promised me to serve as my guide for this? I am sure a nobleman like you wont get back on his words~¡±


    Heinrich: ¡°Ahh! Wait ¡­ I ¡­.¡±


    Jacky ¡°Will we go now? Or shall I ask someone else more suited to the task?¡±


    Heinrich: ¡° ¡­. ¡­. ¡­.¡±


    A confused look was seen on his face. Oh, brilliant. Two can play that game, right~


    Heinrich: ¡°It would be my pleasure. Please follow me.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Right~¡±


    After arriving at the buffet. I ate my share of delicious cuisine~ While being a bit pestered by Heinrich''s lovestruck life story. Hmm, the cooks here seem to be really good. The sweets especially were tasty~


    Heinrich: ¡°And so that''s why my dad became the lord of Bescof. Sadly the populace is mostly demihuman slaves, but the landscape is truly magnificent~¡±


    Jacky: ¡° Hmm, how many demihumans are there?¡±


    A bit flustered that I asked a question, which interrupted his monologue. He began to talk again after a pause.


    Heinrich: ¡°Oh, it saddens me. But there¡¯s about 20 or so slaves per human living in my beautiful Bescof.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°What is the normal average? Like here?¡±


    Heinrich: ¡° ¡­. that should be about 1 slave for every 8 or so ¡­.¡±


    HA! Lucky! I just got information from my newly claimed holy land. Bescof, sounds like a good place for me to settle down when I get old ¡­. So many nekomimi''s ¡­.


    Hmm ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°I would like to see your fathers lands sometime in the future. I hope that you will invite me when time is available?¡±


    Heinrich mask just dropped. The cool smug face that he had maintained mostly during his monologue and our conversations. Vanished into thin air. A blushed face came to replace it.


    Heinrich: ¡°Ahh ¡­ y ¡­ yes gladly! The [Heroine] will be a honored guest if she wants to come! I''m always free to receive you!¡±


    Somehow that is sad ¡­ Please tell me you have any friends. I never had many, but even so I had a few good friends till I started working ¡­. Then I lost contact to all of them. *sigh*


    Jacky: ¡°Hmm, aren''t you busy at all? Like with your girlfriend or others?¡±


    Heinrich: ¡°That is ¡­. ¡°


    Jacky: ¡°You know that I am called [Hero], right?¡±


    Heinrich: ¡°That is a mistake! It should be [Heroine]!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°You know ¡­¡±


    I told him the short version of my odyssey. From a excited flushed expression, he went to a pained, then to a half crying one. Finally being flustered again ¡­. Uhh, what''s up with this guy.


    Heinrich: ¡°So your soul is male. You got this female body, so you can fight for us [Humans]. And you''re being harassed by slaves!¡±


    Heinrich: ¡°This isn''t right. Let me Heinrich of Bescof punish the evil known as Elsa!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Uhh aren''t you mad at the wrong person?¡±


    Heinrich: ¡°Why?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°I ¡­. I just deceived you a bit. I should have told you that I am actually male inside from the start, so that this misunderstanding wouldn''t happen.¡±


    Heinrich: ¡°The past doesn''t matter. Only the present is right with us!¡±


    This guy ¡­. he really is something else.


    Jacky: ¡°Listen, I like woman. I truly dislike the kind of man you''re. I will never ever let a man be more then a friend. I thought it would be good to befriend you because ¡­ you resemble my old self in something ¡­. but that was a mistake.¡±


    Heinrich: ¡°I would be glad to be your friend [Heroine]. May I ask what beautiful name I shall call you?¡±


    ¡­. Seriously, he is really stubborn. Nevermind just ignore him ¡­.


    Heinrich: ¡°Wont I get your name please?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°....¡±


    Heinrich: ¡°I would do everything for your name~¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. give me all of your fathers land and I will tell you.¡±


    He wont accept that~ Finally silenced him!


    Heinrich: ¡°With pleasure. Let''s get married right away!¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. you know what, forget it ¡­. My name is Jacky, now stay away from me at least 1 meter or I will blast you away!¡±


    Heinrich: ¡°As you wish!¡±


    He truly ¡­ moved away a bit. About a meter or so. Does a meter translated into roughly the same length here? Anyways, I can''t allow to let my guard down. Perverts everywhere ¡­. I am more in danger then Ari is from me ¡­.


    Staying at the buffet for a bit I finished eating up, while being watched by my newly acquired friend ¡­.


    The Queen finally found me again, after sometime spent on snacking on some kind of nuts. Dragging me to a elevated stage. She turned to the masses of nobles and everyone became silent.


    Queen: ¡°Now lets see the power of our new [Hero]! The grand and vast power of our [Hero]!!¡±


    Everyone is clapping their hands. Don''t ¡­. awww!


    Already can see this ending bad. Stupid Queen ¡­.


    I was looking at her with a bit Anger for a moment. The Queen shuddered for a moment, but regained herself after I managed to get a smile on my face again.


    Fuck~


    Queen: ¡°So let''s see the magic of our [Hero] in action. We prepared this small stage for him to fight against one of our court magicians. It''s not really a fight~ The other party will just defend against the [Hero], so be relaxed~¡±


    ¡­. This will end badly. Stupid queen ¡­.


    Queen: ¡°Let''s start this now~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°....¡±


    This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.


    From the other side a man clothed in a robe and with a fancy staff came onto the elevated stage. So that is my living target. Me and that poor soul. Haha ¡­.


    Target: ¡°Greeting [Hero], my name is Harald Steinsworth. I will be your partner in this magic sparing. Pleaes go easy on me.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Hello Mister Steinsworth, pleaes dont die on me.¡±


    I spoke that out aloud. And the spectators became noisy. ''did you hear that'' ''[Hero] must be really strong'' ''sure confident''  ¡­.. the noisy muttering went. All wrong idiots, I just don''t want to blast myself with him together to nirvana ¡­


    Mr. Steinsworth: ¡°Let''s begin anytime your ready [Hero].¡±


    Politely at least. Ha ¡­. okay what should I do.


    Jacky: ¡°With what should I attack you?¡±


    Mr. Steinsworth: ¡°Anything would go. I heard your provident in [Fire Magic]. How about that?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Okay ¡­. [Fire Magic] ¡­.¡±


    Let''s try it. Last time just happened because I got distracted ¡­. and excited. Lets gather a small amount of [Mana] and use that to make a [Fire Magic]. A simple flame should do.


    Jacky: ¡°Hmm ¡­.¡±


    While concentrating I was humming hmm out aloud and stretching out my hand towards Mr. Steinsworth. I could feel the [Mana] gathering on my hands palm. Okay, now a hot flame. OH! I can feel the heat, it''s not so hot. Slowly opening my eyes. A small flame was before my palm. I tried to move it further away and it flickered in the wind. As I thought about making it stronger. The flame grew in size by times of 4 and changed it''s color into blue.


    Jacky: ¡°!!!¡±


    Closing one eye and averting my face a bit. I waited shortly for it to explode ¡­. but nothing happened. The surrounding got silent, as they watched the blue flame. Which made a sound as a strong wind that would press itself trough a small hole. I created a /fully composted flame (whistling flame)/ , I somehow added extra oxygen when I wanted to make it bigger. So the [Mana] I used to make the gas for the flame constantly, was burned up 100% and molecules were agitated so much that the color changed. A normal flame is about 750~1000 Celsius hot. A flame with excess oxygen ¡­ 1800 Celsius.


    Jacky: ¡°I will now throw it.¡±


    Rather confident I started the movement. Mr. Steinsworth looked trouble and I could see him fast chanting something with difficulty. As I began to literally throw it at him. I didn''t know how to let it fly. Beside imagine it as a ball being thrown. So the flame flew with a slow speed towards my target. While the chant of his magic came to an end.


    Mr. Steinsworth: ¡° ...Might of the Water. I summon thee. [Water Barrier]!¡±


    The slowly approaching flame ball. Hit the Water that was summoned. And evaporated it instantly. The flame flew trough the [Water Barrier] as it was nothing.


    Jacky: ¡°AH!¡±


    Mr. Steinsworth: ¡°Ugh!!¡±


    Close call ¡­ Mr. Steinsworth managed to jump aside and doge the flame ball like that. The flame ball flew slowly in a direct line. Towards the spectating nobles. Uhh ¡­. cancel! Cancel!!!


    Jacky: ¡°Uhhhahhhh ¡­ aargh...!¡±


    Cancel! CANCEL!! Think of the gas pipe being corked. The Oxygen being take out. And the heat dispersing. Cancel!!!


    Jacky: ¡°Huff ¡­. That was close.¡±


    I nearly grilled some nobles ¡­. in a little accident. Some had expressions of disbelief. Others were clapping and cheering. A few seem to be fleeing with wet behinds ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Are you alright Mr. Steinsworth. I am so sorry, I can''t control the output of [Mana] that good at the moment. Body problems.¡±


    Mr. Steinsworth: ¡° ¡­. I-i am al-alright. But t-that ¡­. that was a [Demon Flame]. H-how could the [Hero] use such magic ¡­. even without a chant!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°[Demon Flame]?¡±


    Mr. Steinsworth: ¡°Y-yes ¡­., o-only the highest ranked [Demon] magicians can use that....¡±


    Seriously? They don''t know about combustion ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°That is a normal flame ¡­. If a normal flame gets enough air, it will get hotter and turn blueish. Because it burns better, the more air there is. That''s basic knowledge ¡­.¡±


    Mr. Steinsworth was looking in disbelief.


    Mr. Steinsworth: ¡°... L-let me try.¡±


    Mr. Steinsworth: ¡°Flame that rests in my heart. Come to my hand. [Little Flame]!¡±


    A small flame appeared in his hand. That ¡­ was really little. One could now joke about it ¡­ but let it rest.


    Mr. Steinsworth: ¡°Air that is around me. Come to my hand. [Little Wind]!¡±


    The flame and the whirlwind mixed together. And the flame became blueish. Not as blue as the one I had created, but enough to see that I told the truth.


    Jacky: ¡°See. Just wind and a flame.¡±


    Mr. Steinsworth: ¡°That ¡­. I can''t beliefe it to be so simple. This is an important discovery!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°It''s nothing so grand ¡­.¡±


    Mr. Steinsworth was clinging onto my hands, shortly after the flame in his hand was canceled out. And started to talk about how great my discovery was. How I should write a thesis about it. And if I knew more such grand magic~


    Queen: ¡°....¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Ah sorry, Mr. Steinsworth. I will try to write something up. I think this ends today¡¯s spar.¡±


    Mr. Steinsworth: ¡°Thank you for this chance to learn such great magic! I will wait for it~¡±


    Queen: ¡°....¡±


    Jacky: ¡°This should do my queen? Or shall I summon something stronger. But I would like to refrain from it. I am still getting used to this body.¡±


    Queen: ¡°Ah, y-yes.... The [Hero] is our grand savior! With this power he will annihilate the demons!¡±


    The queen was screaming out like that. With a reddened face. Not what she wanted most likely, but now she had a good weapon at her command ¡­. so that was good too. The nobles that were present cheered me on and kept bugging me afterwards more intensively about my [Demon Flame] and what magic I could use other than it. AHHH GO AWAY OLD MEN!! I wanted to scream that, but I could resist. And persisted to be a kind and loyal looking [Hero] for the time-being.


    The whole thing took place till around midnight, then finally all the nobles were gone. While saying goodbye to each and everyone of them, together with the queen. I felt like an robot.


    Olward: ¡°Let''s get you to bed now. Good work Jacky. I am impressed of your [magic].¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Ha ¡­. good for you. But I would appreciate some more lessons. That was an accident ¡­. I wanted to create a small normal flame.¡±


    Olward: ¡°Hmm, so it nearly could have killed some nobles?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°If not, at least burnt them up badly on one side.¡±


    Olward: ¡°Hahaha. That would have been funny.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°.... Sure, an order of sunny side up nobles. And an army of soldiers to chase me~¡±


    Olward: ¡°Yes, not really something to look up too. Let''s go, a tired [Hero] can''t help us~¡±


    I went to my room. Elsa wasn''t to be seen anywhere on the way here. So I was safe, for now. In my room ¡­. what can I say.


    Ari: ¡°Nya ¡­. ahh ¡­.¡±


    Ari was laying on my bed. Her face was deeply snuggled up in my pillow. I could hear her breathing rough. And one of her hands was at work on an certain place.


    Ari: ¡°...ahhh [Hero]''s scent ¡­ ahh¡±


    I was standing inside the door and just watching with a grin on my face. So Ari is  a bit perverted herself~ Hehe~


    Closeing the door slowly and silently, as to not to disturb her. I slowly and steady was sneaking up on Ari.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. *stare* ¡­. ¡±


    I was right at the side of the bed. Watching Ari who still didn''t notice my presence. Her tail was furiously wagging left and right. While she was rubbing her clitoris trough her panties with her hand. Hah~ What a sight~ Still sniffing on my pillow ¡­ is she no different from Elsa?


    I continued to watch over her masturbation session. Till it happened.


    Jacky: ¡°Ha-ha-hatchy~¡±


    Aww! Damm some dust got into my nose!


    When I looked back at Ari again. She was motionless laying there.


    Jacky: ¡°Uhmm ¡­. Ari?¡±


    Ari: ¡°....¡±


    No answer ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°It''s okay Ari. I wont tell anyone ¡­. if you do something for me.¡±


    Ari: ¡°You ¡­. [Hero] doesn''t ¡­ hate me?¡±


    With tears in her eyes she was looking at me. Ohh, I need to make myself clear here ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. If ¡­. I-if anything I am glad that you feel that way ¡­. So it''s okay.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­. b-but ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°It''s okay to be a bit perverted. But please ask me before you take my panties to sniff them or something like that.¡±


    Ari: ¡°I-i-i would n-never do something like t-t-that!!!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Elsa did it without one ounce of shame. And I disliked it.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°But if you ask for it ¡­. I might allow it.¡±


    Ari was watching me intensively. Ha, her stare is already to much for me. If only I had my manhood still. I would so jump on her right now! I still can have fun in my current state. But my whole body was aching already ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Ari.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Yes, [Hero]!¡±


    She sprung up from her snuggled position. And was kneeling on my bed with a straight back. Facing her glance upwards to the ceiling. Her nipples ¡­. no not now.


    Jacky: ¡°Ari, please refer to me as Master.¡±


    Ari: ¡° Master [Hero]?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Drop the [Hero], please. Just Master for now. And don''t tell me you can''t!¡±


    Ari: ¡° M-master ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°That''s better. Keep remembering, that I am male deep inside. So even if it might get to misunderstandings, use the male version Master and not Mistress.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Right Master!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°And ¡­. as punishment for doing something like this without my consent. You will act as my pillow for now~¡±


    Ari: ¡°....¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Is that a problem?¡±


    Ari: ¡°N-no [H-] M-master!¡±


    Her tail was standing tall and straight up. It was a lot more fluffy then normal. If I remember correctly:


    -wagging = aggressively


    -quivering tail that stands up= happy


    -standing tail=friendly/ content


    -really fluffy= really aggressive


    She seems to be rather happy with that punishment, her tail is still fluffy ¡­. because of the shook from before? Her face is blushed and her eyes still have some shinyness in them from the tears she had ¡­. Aww bad!


    Jacky: ¡°T-then lay down. I will join you.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Ah! Master ¡­. you still haven''t brushed your teeth ¡­ and I need to change your clothes to the sleepwear.¡±


    Ari went into full maid mode again. I was dragged to an washing basin. Had my teeth brushed from someone else for the first time in my life ¡­. rather exciting ¡­. I protested against it a bit, but Ari went with.


    Ari: ¡°I-i will get into trouble if i allow that to happen!¡±


    Had my face washed off sweat. Then my clothes came off from a few skillfully touches of Ari''s hands. Being just in my underwear, Ari reddened up by a lot. Oh jeah .... no underwear. She started to wipe down on my body with a soft towel. After being subject to cat washing in some terms (but not for the tongue part, sadly ¡­.) I was clothed in my sleepwear and ready to go to sleep.


    Jacky: ¡°Ha~ So comfy~¡±


    Ari: ¡°I-i-is this go-oood?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Yeah~ Just perfect as pillow~¡±


    She had thought I would use her as a pillow for my head. And firstly lay down in place for that. Then I ordered Ari to lay down normal in the bed. Perplexed she did what she was told. Just to find herself being used as an hug pillow. My face was seated on her soft breasts. One arm was slung around her waist. Another was fondling her ears. While one leg hung over her legs. A tight and good hugging~ Heaven~ Ahh, God I can die now. Having a catgirl hug pillow is pure bliss! With these thoughts I was fast asleep. The day was horrible exciting and I spent a lot of my energy on that darn noble party. This was a reward~ And most likely not even a punishment for Ari ¡­. she''s lesbian right?

 Chapter 3: The Study

    Chapter 3: The Study


    Sara:¡°Please wake up sir [Hero]~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Hnn ¡­.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Nh ¡­ not t-t-there ¡­.¡±


    I opened up my eyes. I was still using Ari as hug pillow, but now I was hugging her head and slightly munching on her ears. Seems I had a good dream or I was hungry, anything of these two. Can''t really remember much from my sleep-time. Slept so well~


    Ari: ¡°..NYAH!!..¡±


    Sara: ¡°That''s enough for now sir [Hero]~¡±


    Aww ¡­ meany ¡­. being again lifted up by Sara, somehow felt nostalgic. I just happened to start ¡­ to use my tongue a bit to have some fun with Ari~ Still ¡­. I need to talk with her about cleaning her ears.


    Jacky: ¡°Right, right~¡±


    Ari: ¡°...¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Slept well Ari?¡±


    Ari: ¡°Ah ¡­ yes, t-thank you master ¡­.¡±


    Sara: ¡°Master?¡±


    Ari: ¡°Ah.. eh ¡­. that ¡­¡±


    Sara: ¡°Ah I see, should I call the [Hero] master too?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Hmm, if you stop holding me up like a baby I would allow it~¡±


    Sara let me down while she had a grin on her face. We two will surely get along nicely, at least I hope so. Ari seems to be a lost cause, of love struck. It''s not that I dislike her, but I hope she wont be to aggressive on achieving mutual love. She''s cute ¡­. and sexy, but I don''t feel any love just yet. Teasing is okay ¡­. but I shouldn''t toy around with her ¡­. or being toyed?


    Sara: ¡°Let''s get you dressed and ready for breakfeast with the queen~¡±


    Ari: ¡°Right!¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. I want to go back to sleeping ¡­.¡±


    Sara lifted me up like a knapsack and carried me outside of the room. With Ari following her. Hoho~ Ari moving around in her pajamas was a feast for the eyes. Are there holes in her clothes for her tail? -I am curious!


    Jacky: ¡°Where are we going?¡±


    Sara: ¡°To the bath~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Ah yes ¡­. wait WHAT?¡±


    Sara: ¡°We are going to the bath~¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. I got that. But ¡­. just out of curiosity, you two will enter the bath too? Washing me? Nude?¡±


    Sara: ¡°Haha, if you want we can go inside nude~ But there''s the option of bathing clothes too~ And it''s not just us two~¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. who else? Not the queen ¡­ please tell me not the queen ¡­.¡±


    Sara: ¡°He~ Maybe~¡±


    That innocent smile ¡­. she''s playing with me ¡­. gah ¡­.


    Ari: ¡°I-it is just us, Master.¡±


    Sara: ¡°Ahh Ari, don¡¯t ruin the fun~ Bad girl, I am going to tell someone what you did~¡±


    Ari: ¡°No ¡­ P-p-lease ¡­¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. Sara all fun is well, as long as no one gets hurt.¡±


    Sara: ¡°Ok, okay~ I wont tell~ Too bad for you master~¡±


    Why should that be bad for me?


    While arguing I was being carried to the bath. Or should I say bath complex. It was a room about 10 or 20 times as big as the one I slept in on day 1. Enough to make a football field tear up in shame to its size ¡­. naturally I was already striped of my clothes and had a loincloth like underwear on. The two maids that went in together with me looked the same.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­..  ¡­.¡±


    Sara: ¡°Is something wrong?¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. please get nude ¡­. I can''t tolerate this!¡±


    Making an aggravated sumo stance, I used both hands to form a traingle and hovered it over the loincloth (SEE! SEE! Pose). I can tolerate swimwear or special full body stuff. Nude, wouldn''t be a problem too. Maybe even a nude queen for surprises sake!! But LOINCLOTHS!!! I feel like an old man! Who''s the one who introduced this sick tradition or something!


    Sara: ¡°Hahahaaah, please ¡­ Master stop that ¡­. ahh that''s too much ¡­.¡±


    Sara was down. She barely could hold herself while laughing out. While Ari was just blushing up and looking away from me protesting.


    Jacky: ¡°Hah ¡­ fine, lets get this over with.¡±


    Ari: ¡°R-right!¡±


    As I wanted to hop into the open bath. Ari got hold of my shoulders. She was making an /no/ face and pointed at an corner where washing basins were stacked up. Ah, right.


    Jacky: ¡°First roughly cleaning. Then entering the bath?¡±


    Ari: ¡°First throughfully cleaning. Then entering the bath to relax oneself, master.¡±


    Full maid mode Ari wasn''t going to skip the right steps. Was this world more connected to my previous then I thought? Or is it something that can happened fundamentally in every culture? By the way, I normally enter my own bathtub without washing myself of first. Only if I was covered in loads of dirt or paints or whatever ¡­.


    Ari: ¡°Let me help you wash yourself master. Sit here~¡±


    Happily Ari turned over one washing basin for me to sit onto. I sat down without a fuss. Ari poured some warm water over my head and back and began to make some foam with a soap-bar.


    Jacky: ¡°Help me wash myself?¡±


    Ari: ¡°Yes, I will provide you with assistance. ¡­ Uh... Sara ¡­¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Forget about her for now. But you aren''t going to wash my body from top till toe?¡±


    Ari''s face flushed more red now. About the same tone as  last night?


    Ari: ¡°T-that ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Okay, it''s fine. Help me wash myself as you would do with anyone else. Tell me what I am supposed to do. Or your master wont learn a thing~


    Haha~ Teasing Ari is fun. But I feel a bit down. Hoped this was more erotic, but it is actually rather normal. Ari washed my back. She helped me washing my hair. Even when I was soaping up my body, she prepared towels that were full of soap foam and fresh warm water. There were mutliple outlets form which water could be poured. So all in all it was over rather fast. I just scrubbed down on my body-parts without feeling anything in special.


    Jacky: ¡°Hmm, let me wash you~¡±


    I was smiling at her with an clear intention. She shouldn''t decline a bit skinship, after all that hug pillowing~


    Ari: ¡°Ah ¡­ no ¡­.¡±


    While looking at Sara, who was starring at us, Ari declined. Damm ¡­. she''s conscious of being watched!


    Jacky: ¡°Is that so. Okay, then I will go in first.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Sorry master ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°If your sorry let me pet you later~¡±


    Ari: ¡°Y-yes! Master!¡±


    So cute~ Aww I don''t know what to do with these ears and her tail. It''s really easy to see her mood. Why do humans don''t have this feature. It is so damn hard sometimes to get the mood of an human right.


    Sara: ¡°Let me help you Ari~¡±


    Ari: ¡°NO!¡±


    Sara: ¡°What? You always let me help you before~ You were even looking happy about it~¡±


    Ari: ¡°T-that is an l-lie!¡±


    Ari your rather easygoing? Don''t tell me your just messing around with me. Oh wait ¡­. I shouldn''t say that as long as I am not really feeling love ¡­.


    Ari: ¡°Master help me!¡±


    Ari was being held down forcefully. While Sara was on top of her.


    Jacky: ¡°Hmm~ I can''t see because of all this steam~ Where are you~¡±


    Ari: ¡°MASTER!!!¡±


    Sara: ¡°Hehe~ Abandoned because of unfaithfulness~ Poor Ari, let me cheer you up~¡±


    Sara was massaging each of Ari''s ears with an towel full of soap foam.


    Ari: ¡°Nhh ¡­ no! ¡­ ahhh!¡±


    Sara: ¡°Hehe~¡±


    It was rather exciting to watch. Sara was massaging Ari''s breast after there was no more reaction from the ears. Then moving to her sides and her belly. Before she could reach to her private parts. Ari chopped down on Sara''s head with a washing basin she was able to grasp.


    Sara: ¡°Aua! That hurts~¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­. s-serves you ¡­.¡±


    Don''t look at me Ari. You didn''t want me to help you washing your body. That was cruel in itself~


    Still what a feast for the eyes. I want a video-camera ¡­. but probably there is no one capable of creating something like it ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Ari?¡±


    Hey wait!


    Ari: ¡°Take this master!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Hahaha! Stooooopp! I give up!¡±


    Ari: ¡°No way! I am going to tickle you till you faint!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Wait stop Haha ¡­. I am so-ha-rry!¡±


    Ari sprung into the water and catched me with no effort. Then kept tickling me till I was to tired to even laugh out loud. Uhhh ¡­. somehow that didn''t feel like punishment too.


    Sometime later.


    Finally getting out of the bath complex. I was again clothed in normal looking clothes. In comparison to the loincloth/topless combo from before. Now I had again a frilly one piece dress on me, even panties of the same color to go with it. White~ So pure~ I am thinking about bad things, aren¡¯t I? Ari and Sara, both wore the same maid like uniform since the beginning. They have a number of these ready most likely.


    Sara: ¡°Let''s get going master. The queen is probably already waiting. We took our sweet time in there~¡±


    Ari: ¡°WHOS FAULT IS THAT!¡±


    Sara: ¡°Hmm, probably yours?¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    She''s right ¡­. at least that is what I want to say. But Ari''s stare hinders me from speaking out aloud. Stop that, it''s weird. Okay, it''s my fault partly. But you could just had let me wash you. I wouldn''t have gone as far as Sara~ Most likely~


    After a few minutes of walking we reached an double door that was heavily decorated. Uhh, it looked like an portrait of the queen. Half of it on each door.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. sick ¡­.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Are you feeling unwell master?¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. just a bit hungry.¡±


    Don''t speak out your discomfort ¡­. But it wouldn''t stop. After entering the whole banquet hall like room ¡­. was filled with busts, paintings and wall hangings of the queens portrait. In varying age category¡¯s ¡­.


    Some of the younger ones looked dignified or cute. But anything past her maturity age ¡­. just overly faked. The real queen wasn''t as beautiful as the portraits. She clearly let the artists enhance these ¡­.


    Queen: ¡°Ah, there are you my [Hero]. We already started, as it was getting cold. Please sit and join us for breakfeast.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Yes gladly my queen, I am humbled to be able to eat in your presence.¡±


    Queen: ¡°So it is~¡±


    The table wasn''t all that long. There was enough space to seat around 12 or so people? It was filled with fruits, fresh bread, some varying soups and freshly baked sweets. On the table were 3 others seated, beside me and the queen.


    But no one introduced themselves and the queen didn''t seem to want to introduce me ¡­. So ingore them?


    Young male: ¡°So that [Hero] is you. It''s stupid that you''re in a female body and getting called [Hero]!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Yes, you''re right. It would have been better for me to have a male body. Want to switch?¡±


    Young male: ¡° ¡­. no not really ¡­. Can you switch bodys?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°I don''t know, maybe?¡±


    Young male: ¡°Hmm.¡±


    The young male that was seated on the table, sat next to the queen. He spoke his mind and seemed to be around 10 or so? He wore even more frilly clothes then me, and had the look of an 50''s child you would imagine running around with a big lollipop. Blond frilly hair too~


    Queen: ¡°Gustav Mentha Oliverso Asslenov Travis the fourth, stop with the stupid questioning! It''s unsightly!¡±


    Gustav Mentha ¡­. a forget it just Gustav for me ¡­.


    Gustav: ¡° Yes, mama.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Sorry, if you want you can talk with me later.¡±


    Gustav: ¡°Really?¡±


    I nod and let it be. I am not a shotacon nor a lolicon. But it seems that the royal kid seated there, is atleast brighter and less corrupt then his mother. Maybe he will be the next king? Who knows. So the other two, are they his sisters? They just ignored my presence and ate. Both of them were rather pretty. But judging from their attitude ¡­. they should be as rotten and stupid as the queen.


    The break-feast was over rather fast. After the two royal daughters were full they just left without a word. Then the queen left in the same manor. Leaving me alone with her son, that was faking to still be hungry. Naturally not counting Ari, Sara and some other servants that were constantly refilling drinks or bringing in foodstuff that was emptied. I kinda had a huge appetite, I filled myself mostly with fresh bread and some of this vegetable soup. Hmm godly~ After 3 breads and 4 containers of soup my hunger was sated. Where did I put all this? Everyone had a look of disbelief.


    Gustav: ¡°Wow, you really can eat.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Thanks sir Gustav, I was rather famished somehow~ Is it alright for me to be calling you Gustav?¡±


    Gustav: ¡°Uhm, I think it''s okay. As you''re the [Hero].¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Is this how breakfast is normally?¡±


    Gustav: ¡°Yes, is something wrong?¡±


    So for him the atmosphere wasn''t different then anytime else. Somehow I pitied that boy already for being born as royalty ¡­. at least to that house. After talking with him about some minor topics like weather, what he likes to play and what he''s learning at the moment. I got the impression that he is rather intelligent, diligent and harbors an great intent to be a good king for his people.


    Male Servant: ¡°Sir  Gustav Mentha Oliverso Asslenov Travis the fourth, it''s time for your studies.¡±


    Gustav: ¡°Ah, yes. I am finished we can go now. Let''s talk later again [Hero] I want to ask you somethings about your world.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°I would be happy to answer any questions sir Gustav.¡±


    Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.


    And so Gustav left trough that double door, as the others before him. I even meant it seriously ¡­. he''s got some charm of an king.


    Ari: ¡°Master are you still hungry?¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­. we need to go too, Minister Serbert is waiting.¡±


    I was just eating another of these sweets made out of a fluffy dough. I should probably ¡­. contain my hunger. But why am I so hungry ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Okay time to learn, onwards to Olward.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Yes, master!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°And stop calling him Minister Serbert, that''s giving me a headache ¡­.¡±


    Ari: ¡°B-but ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°He will be okay with it, shall I ask him?¡±


    Sara: ¡°I think Minister Serbert is most likely okay with being called whatever a demihuman female would like.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Oh, so it''s that.¡±


    Ari: ¡°???¡±


    After a short stroll I made it to Olward''s magic study. It was rather grand. Books piled up on mountains. Different glasses where stuff was preserved in alcohol. A huge mass of tools that looked magical or like out of an alchemists lab. If only this was a towers top, then you would have the complete /tower wizard/ feeling. But being at the second story of a building that was five story¡¯s in height. Somewhat diluted that feeling.


    Olward: ¡°Ah finally. Took you longer then I thought to escape from breakfeast.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°I was rather hungry, so I was the last one to leave.¡±


    Olward: ¡°Hmm, is that so. What is your impression of the royal family?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Failures. Everyone except that Gustav is a failure.¡±


    Olward: ¡°Why so?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Heighty attitude? Stupid smug faces? And maybe the resemblance to the queen in body and mind~¡±


    Olward: ¡°Hmm, as long as the next in line for the throne is perceived as worthy to the [Hero]. That should be enough.¡±


    Olward looked rather happy. Seems he comes to agree with me on these terms, once again. Pointing to the free space in a corner. I seated myself on a cushioned wood chair.


    Olward: ¡°So lets start. Come stand up. It''s time for some [magic] practice. We can discuss later~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Okay. Will we train the basics now?¡±


    Olward: ¡°Yes, lets try an easy [magic] chant for [Little Flame]. The process is similar to your voiceless incantation. Just think of the image of a flame and then recite the chant.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Hmm. Flame that rests in my heart. Come to my hand. [Little Flame]!¡±


    Olward: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Nothing happened. What''s wrong now ¡­. I did imagine a flame and did the chant correctly. At least I remembered it correctly ¡­ I think.


    Jacky: ¡°Flame that rests in my heart. Come to my hand. [Little Flame]!!!¡±


    Olward: ¡°Seems like it''s not working properly. Are you imagine a normal flame?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Yes. Normal. Red and small. Like the one that Mr. Steinsworth did.¡±


    Olward tilted his head and closed his eyes. Thinking about something. Swaying his head side to side while mumbling words to himself.


    Olward: ¡°Let''s try [medium fire magic]. Repeat this chant with an image of the result of it. After I canceled it out naturally~¡±


    Olward was talking while stretching out his hands. He cracked his fingers a few times. Then he started to chant [medium fire magic].


    Olward: ¡°God of flames, hear my plea. Gather at my hands and cut my enemy apart. [Razor Flame]!¡±


    About 20 cm above Olward''s outstretched hand appeared a disc of flames. It looked like what a character of Drag*nball would use ¡­. Two flame like ends were looking rather sharp and were rotating with some speed in disc like form. It looked really thin too.


    Olward: ¡°Ha!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°!!!¡±


    Olward''s disc flew at the empty chair I sat down before.


    And cut one part of the back cushion cleanly off. The flame disc was stuck inside the stone floor behind the chair. After a few moments it gave off a small dieing voice *Zzrrzz* and it dispersed.


    Jacky: ¡°Was that necessary? I wanted to use that chair later on.¡±


    Olward: ¡°It''s fine. I always wanted a new one~¡±


    Ari and Sara were still present in the room. Watching from the sides. Especially Ari seemed keen on seeing my magic ¡­.


    Okay, here it goes~ Full mode heroic magic chanting!


    Jacky: ¡°Eh Hem~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°God of flames, hear my plea. Gather at my hands and cut my enemy apart. [Razor Flame]!¡±


    ¡­. seriously. Nothing happened. Not even an explosion or some misshaped magic blast. Whats up now?


    Olward: ¡°Seems I was right.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°What is it?¡±


    Olward: ¡°Jacky you seem to be unable to use chant¨¦d magic. At least like this.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. ¡­. t-that''s bad!¡±


    I am so fucked ¡­. Some easy flames and stuff might be do able with imagination alone. But what of flashy grand magic, that would blast of mountains and such?


    Olward was just smiling and making a ''No No'' head shake.


    Olward: ¡°It seems as [Hero] you are only suited to voiceless incantations. As you already proved to be able to produce simple flames. Try to copy what you saw, without chanting.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Copying without chanting ¡­.¡±


    Olward: ¡°Yes, as long as your able to grasp the magic behind the chant it should be possible. A chant is just a unconscious reminder for our mind to accumulate and form [Mana] into the desired form. These were researched and practiced to a degree of mastery.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Hmm, so I should be able to make something like that. As long as I understand what it is doing and what it is made of. Is that right?¡±


    Olward gave off a happy smile and nodded with an ''Yes Yes'' head shake. I looked at Ari, just to see her eyes sparkling with anticipation. Urgh ¡­. don''t think that I can master this in a day. That''s pressure right there ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Did that burn or cut the chair?¡±


    Olward: ¡°It cut the chair.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°How can a flame cut something of higher density?¡±


    Olward: ¡°?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Is it like metal being melted ¡­. ?¡±


    Olward: ¡°No, not really. It is cut cleanly. Maybe a bit burned on the surface of the entry. But the cut itself is unburnt.¡±


    Okay ¡­. that isn''t helping. Let''s think. A flame is just a gas burning. Even if it''s a solid as ingredient, what burns is always the gas that is produced somehow. Pressurized gas?


    I could put the flame under pressure ¡­. then the density should increase as each gas molecule would be closer to the next one. The temperature would increase, as the combustion rate would increase too. It should show that flame wriggle effect too I read about ¡­. lets try that.


    Jacky: ¡°I will try. Please make some space. I don''t know what will happen exactly ¡­.¡±


    Olward: ¡°Go ahead. I prepared some emergency tools that cancel out explosions. And set them up already~¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. right ¡­.¡±


    Stretching out one of my hand above my head. I started to gather the [Mana] in my palm. About this amount should do. Okay, now onto converting it into a flame. A flame of the size of a basketball appeared.


    Jacky: ¡°Seems to go well. Okay next step.¡±


    I imagined the flame ball being pressed from all sides. It began to behave violently when it reached half it''s prior size. After it reached the size of a marble ¡­. it looked more like a little star, with all the spikes that extruded out and back again. The surface was in pure chaos.


    Jacky: ¡°Seems well ¡­.¡±


    Next stage. A disc form. Okay, stretching? I tried imagine it being pulled by an force on all sides. The flame marble gave in and extended disc like into all direction in an diameter of about 30 cm. It''s surface ¡­. rather chaotically. Still spiking out and all. Okay ¡­. try to imagine it being calm and flat. Slowly the surface bend to my will. And it was just a completely round disc. That gave off an intensive light and heat. My hand felt like being under an infrared heater lamp. Still it didn''t hurt.


    Olward: ¡°Ohh fantastic. That seems to look quite good.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°It does. I had worry¡¯s it would explode ¡­. when it started to be so chaotically in its form.¡±


    Olward: ¡°Let''s throw it at the chair. Aim for the back cushion on the other side.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.. how do I aim this?¡±


    Olward made a short troubled expression. Then he smiled again, as he remembered how.


    Olward: ¡°Just think about what it should aim at. And say it in your mind like ''attack that'' .¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Okay, that sounds easy ¡­. hopefully.¡±


    Okay flame disc, fly and cut the right side of that back cushioned chair.


    Jacky: ¡°!¡±


    Olward: ¡°!¡±


    Ari: ¡°MY EARS!!¡±


    Sara: ¡°WOAH!¡±


    Random Female Voice: ¡°AHH!¡±


    Random Male Voice: ¡°WHAT?!¡±


    Random Mix of Voice: ¡°EH!¡± ¡°RUN!!¡± ¡°WAH!¡± ¡°AN ATTACK!!¡±


    Tree: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Oh. That went to well. The flame disc went off. It cut trough the cushion in a flash. Cut trough the stone floor with an terrible noise. And then beside the noise of it cutting again trough stone and wood. Voices were heard all over the area. Most of them astonished by what just flew past them or screaming in panic of an [Demon]


    attack.


    Jacky: ¡°Ups?¡±


    Olward: ¡° ¡­. to cut trough [Magic enforced Stone] ¡­. what astonishing destructive power!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°AH! We need to check if someone is hurt!¡±


    Olward: ¡°Yes, right. Follow me. I think it went in a straight line downwards. And then into the garden on the ground level.¡±


    Olward, Sara, Ari and Me where running outside and checking the situation. After informing the incoming parade of guards in full armor, that it was an practice accident and not an attack of the [Demons].


    After checking that no one was actually hurt. And after being jelled at by the gardener that had just lost his prized appletree, while he was tearing up. We had gathered the info about what just happened.


    Olward: ¡°So in short. No one was hurt. The flame disc dodged anything alive in it''s part. And then finally cut down a tree and hit the ground.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Yes, I think that happened.¡±


    Olward: ¡°It flew trough ¡­. 3 stone walls, some wooden furniture, a tree and then about 5 meters into the earth. I checked the depth via magic perception ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Yes, that seems like it ¡­.¡±


    Ari was making gestures to Sara like /did you see/ and /that''s master~/. She was overly happy for me to be powerful with my magic. I am happy too ¡­. but I didn''t expect such results.


    Jacky: ¡°Luckily ¡­. it didn''t harm anyone or exploded ¡­.¡±


    Olward: ¡°Luck? This was magic beyond anything I have ever witnessed. To cut trough this stone is no easy feat. And the magic was aware of what it shouldn''t cut down. So that after it cut down the chair ¡­. it flew straight, while dodging, to just empty out it''s energy somewhere safe.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. i just thought about '' fly and cut the right side of that back cushioned chair'' and it did all that. Is that normal?¡±


    Olward seemed to think hard about it. And began to move to get a book from a mountain that then collapsed dangerously.


    Olward: ¡° ¡­. hmm ¡­.¡±


    While skipping trough the book. Olward turned on the spot. Thinking while walking ¡­.


    Olward: ¡° ¡­. hmm ¡­. normally ones attack is attached to a simple order to aim. And it will not regard enemy or friend and just disperse randomly after it hit or cut the target. So that behavior ¡­. must be triggered by an unconsciously laying thought. Which in fact must be rather powerful and deep.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Like, as I don''t want to harm someone without any intent in doing so?¡±


    Olward: ¡°Yes, that must be it. Luckily the queen wasn''t in it''s path ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°I wouldn''t harm the queen. She''s still the queen. Even unconsciously ¡­. I think ¡­.¡±


    We made a short brake. Had some refreshments brought by the pair of sheepgirl maids. I should try to get the names of the ones that were originally appointed to me. I think they are managing themselves at the moment. Like how Sara and Ari, are sticking to me. And the others working silently around us.


    After teasing Ari a bit, about setting an apple on her head and trying out the friendly fire safe flame disc. She hit me in the side and was pouting, saying how terrible I was. ¡­. It was just a joke, but you won''t get it most likely ¡­. The reference was from another world, so being punished without a laugh was natural ¡­. Aua ¡­ this really hurts, she packs a mean punch.


    Olward: ¡°Next is training [Power] magic. Let''s see how to do it. As you seem to be unable to use chants. This might prove to be a bit more difficult.¡±

 Chapter 4: By the might of Catears!

    Chapter 4: By the might of Catears!


    Okay. [Power Magic]. Entrance for the muscle me ¡­. hopefully not. Olward was getting some books together while mumbling. In the mean time I was munching away on more sweets, while chatting a bit with Ari and Sara. The theme was daily life before I came here, rumors about royalty and loincloths. Seriously I am gonna get me someone that will make swimsuits or something alike. If they don''t go in nude, at least wear something decent!


    Olward: ¡°Okay Jacky. These books are all about the basic''s of [Power], which enhances ones body. I will explain firstly a few things, then your onto some self study.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­ ¡­ ¡­¡±


    THESE? What was pointed at, was a newly formed pile of books. Higher then myself with about 2 meters something in height and a pyramid form. Your kidding ¡­. I like books. But how long will it take to read all these ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Is there no shortcut? I can''t use chants ¡­. so aren''t these useless to me?¡±


    Olward: ¡°These books aren¡¯t about chants. They are information about body structure, organs, life cycles, experiments and such.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Like Biology books?¡±


    Olward: ¡°Hmm, yes. They are all of that category, if you break it down to it.¡±


    So to use power magic I need to understand the function of what I want to enhance. I am kinda so-so versed in biology. I wanted to become an mad scientist that would create monsters, when I was young. After all I became a normal chemistry lab worker ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°How does it work?¡±


    Olward: ¡°The easiest explanation would be. Altering ones body to the image in ones mind. The stronger the alteration, the more [Mana] is used up.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°That sounds easy ¡­. no draw backs?¡±


    Olward: ¡°I knew you would ask. There are draw backs. The stronger the alteration and the longer the change prevails. The more pained, tired, powerless will you be after using it.¡±


    So you can''t overdo it ¡­.


    Olward: ¡°You might end up breaking your body too. So badly that it would need an healers attention.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Sounds dangerous ¡­.¡±


    Olward: ¡°As an example. If you made your feet go faster. When you stop the [Magic] you will feel more sluggish for some time. Or if you make yourself stronger, the weaker you will be when your without [Power] again.¡±


    Hmm, so it''s like a boost. That can be used constantly. But will need some recuperation time after it''s usage? Sounds like an useful double edged sword.


    Olward: ¡°The last ditch [Magic] some royal guards can use is a derivation of an [Power] too. They will use up their own life force to blast themselves and the enemy into smithereens.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. not really what I had in mind.¡±


    Olward: ¡°Yes, that''s rather an emergency variant to protect royalty.¡±


    So ¡­. there are guards here that would blow themselves up. If it''s necessary ¡­. That means the enemy can do something like that too. This is getting messy ¡­. What idiot invented such [Magic]!


    Olward: ¡°Back to the topic. So you know a bit about your own body?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Yes, mostly the basics. Like muscles, organs, what skin is, what the body is made of and such things.¡±


    Olward: ¡°Hmm, that is rather a lot. Is it normal for someone from your world to have this knowledge?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Mostly yes. At least were I am from, it''s basic stuff you learn in your school life.¡±


    Olward sat down on an empty chair. He seemed to think deeply and scratched his head.


    Olward: ¡°Let''s try something.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Are you sure it is save?¡±


    Olward: ¡°The worst would be a few broken bones. That should be healed in no time.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. a few ¡­.¡±


    Olward: ¡°Just try to strengthen your muscles in your fingers. And bend this. It''s an magic tool to determine physical force.¡±


    A metallic rod was given to me. I tried to bent it without any [Magic] first. A smokey number 12 was emitted, when I stopped to put force in.


    Jacky: ¡°Hmm, rather interesting.¡±


    Olward: ¡°It''s an normal magic tool for training purposes ¡­. Ah wait, I remember something. Afterward we still need to check your [Mana] capacity and regeneration. I am kind of interested in what will be shown.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Okay, I want to know too. How much I differ from an average [Human] here.¡±


    Okay, let''s do this. I won''t go all out ¡­. breaking my own bones, sounds painfully. And I don''t want to end up bulky with muscles ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Hmm.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Master you can do it!!¡±


    Sara: ¡°Shh, Ari keep quite!¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­. sorry ¡­.¡±


    Hopefully this works. Okay I just need to imagine me bending this rod?


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. ¡­.¡±


    After I stopped. The same number appeared again. Okay ¡­. now your insulting my determination! When that doesn''t work. Then how about making my muscles finer and increase the number. I think the more fine threads are in a rope, the more force it can hold. Is it the same ¡­.?


    *crack*


    My hand bulged visible into a horrid look. The rod cracked like an twig. I just looked at my hands ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. I wont ever do that again!¡±


    Olward: ¡°Why? This is superb. This rod should hold out at least a force of 1000! That''s about as much of an force to break normal stone into dust.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Whoa~ master is strong. So cool!¡±


    Sara: ¡° ¡­. ¡­.¡±


    Sara! Your reaction is the right one! These hands look horrid! Cancel that shit out ¡­. with some concentration. My hands reverted back to looking frail and non-monstrously. I moved my fingers around a bit.


    Jacky: ¡°My muscles feel like after to much work out with hand weights. Stiff, heavy and a bit painful ¡­. But it doesn''t seem to have broken any bones ¡­.¡±


    Olward: ¡°That is good. Read up on these books. You will master this probably in a few years time.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. ¡­. ¡­¡±


    Olward looked at me with anticipation. And then sighed out loud.


    Olward: ¡°You know. You can even use that [Magic] to enhance the body of someone else. Body contact is needed for that. It will break as soon as the contact is lost. So it isn''t really used in combat much. How about using Ari?¡±


    Ari: ¡°???¡±


    Sara: ¡°Oh, that''s an good idea!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Using Ari. Like in a mounts sense?¡±


    Olward smiled creepy and clapped his hands together.


    Olward: ¡°Yes, that should do.¡±


    Ari: ¡°I-is m-master going to r-ride me?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Ha ¡­. if you allow it Ari. I would at least like to test it out on you a bit. Tell me when it hurts to much. We will stop then.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Y-yes!!¡±


    Ari buckled down. She was on all fours ¡­. what''s with that pose. Your tail is quivering wildly! This isn''t supposed to be dogy style! Or horseback!


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. Ari, not like that ¡­.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­. ah ¡­. r-right ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Don''t point out your ass to me! JUST STAND UP!¡±


    I smacked her ass with my hand. Luckily for her without power magic.


    Afterward i climbed onto Ari''s back. She finally stood up, rubbing her ass with teary eyes. My arms crossed over her shoulders. Piggyback seems more decent and useable for this ¡­. I am not gonna ride her like an horse. I am going to discipline you later on ¡­. how did you come to have such ideas in your head! I am somewhat happy ¡­. but that''s not the point.


    Olward: ¡° Just try out to enhance her body in some way. And test out the difference. But it would be best, not to go to such extremes like before. It might break her.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°I know. No imagine something crass. I am going with small changes ¡­. hopefully.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Do wh-whatever you like m-master!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Stop with the panting. It''s irritating me more then it makes me happy!¡±


    Sara: ¡°Haha, Ari''s awakening~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Don''t make it worse then it is Sara!¡±


    Sara: ¡°Right, right~ I won''t interfere master~¡±


    Ari: ¡°M-master ¡­. s-so-sorry. Pun-¡±


    Jacky: ¡°No Ari. No punishment. If your not stopping with that. No sleeping with me.¡±


    I am just surround by perverts ¡­. Oh wait, one attracts the same kind of his flock. I should have forced myself to behave ¡­. I am going to punish Ari later on. But in a way, so that it is actual punishment for her. Should I pet Sara? Let''s be a bit more serious here. I can mess around later.


    Jacky: ¡°Okay, Ari go and run around. Going outside would probably be good.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Y-yes!¡±


    Whoa ¡­. she''s rather fast. After she left trough the door. She ran down the hallway in a good speed. The steps of the stairs were simply jumped over. Every time she jumps my body was being jerked around a bit. So I clamped down more heavy on her with my legs and arms.


    Ari: ¡°Master is this good?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Yeah, good work. Now go outside. I will try out enhancing your speed a bit with [Power].¡±


    Ari: ¡°Yes!¡±


    So I say. But how do I enhance her speed? I know how to make her muscle go *biki biki* into an horrible state. I experienced that myself ¡­.  Would that make her faster? Yeah, most likely. But it''s gonna hurt her a lot. And my mind even more so ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Go left Ari.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Yes, master!¡±


    Ari''s happily moving around with an good speed. I don''t know much of the palace''s layout. But the Garden in the mid is rather vast. About the field size of an Olympic Stadium. There was a gravel way all around it. So slipping shouldn''t be so problematic.


    Jacky: ¡°I will try now. Tell me when it hurts. Stop then!¡±


    Ari: ¡°Y-yes master!¡±


    So, what to do. Let''s try changing the muscles to a thin type. But not increasing the volume ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°WOAHHHH!!¡±


    Ari: ¡°I AM FAST! Master this is great!¡±


    Ari''s speed increased while I was thinking about what to exactly do. Looking down on her legs. No visible change was done. At least I wont acquire any nightmares ¡­. of Ari in an full muscle body.


    Jacky: ¡°Ok, your doing good. Any pain?¡±


    Ari: ¡°No, master. Everything is good.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Good girl~¡±


    I couldn''t resist her tone of speech and petted her head. Jeah, that was an bad idea.


    Jacky: ¡°!! STOP ARI!!¡±


    Ari: ¡°Hehe~ What? ¡­. AH!¡±


    We were running in a straight line over an grassy field. The next destination in a few seconds. A wall. A sturdy wall, that wont budge a millimeter from our impact. Ari''s reaction was way to slow, duo the increase in running speed.


    *Crushing sound*


    Jacky: ¡°Ugghh ¡­.¡±


    I saw how we crashed into the wall. But before that happened, Ari was enveloped in flames. Especially her feet had chaotically flames attached. My hands got burned badly and I instinctively let go of Ari. That was a bad move.


    Through the force of the crash against the wall. My body was flung to the ceiling. It was an ugly sound of bones breaking. I still had my eyes open from the shook. Ari literally crashed trough the first wall, then through the second and vanished from my field of vision.


    Before long my body fell to the ground. Face first I hit the stone floor. Ahh, that was an failure. I lost my consciousness ones again. The sweet emptiness greeted me back into it''s embrace ¡­.


    Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.


    A few hours later, around 5pm.


    Jacky: ¡° Argh ¡­.¡±


    Olward: ¡°Oh, you''re finally coming too.¡±


    I was healed again. The same room again. While opening my eyes, I could smell smoke in the air.


    Jacky: ¡° Y-yes. Somehow I survived that. What happened?¡±


    Olward: ¡°Seems like that went a bit too good. Like with the replication of [Razor Flame]¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ... Is Ari alright?¡±


    I could see Sara standing beside Olward, who was sitting  on a cushioned chair with arm rests. But Ari wasn''t to be seen. The room was strangely strong lighted up.


    Olward: ¡° ¡­. That is ¡­. complicated.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. she''s not dead ¡­.?¡±


    Ari: ¡°I'' am alright master ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Ari?¡±


    Ari''s voice come from the area of the chimney. It was in the other direction of Olward and Sara position. So I didn''t notice at first.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Olward: ¡°As you can see there''s a slight problem. Still that is quite something~¡±


    Ari was kneeling there. Inside the chimney ¡­. She was completely nude. Her arm and hand were covering up a few areas. But made it not less erotically doing so ¡­.


    But more importantly, flames were everywhere on here. She looked exactly the same when we crashed on that wall by accident. Except that her clothes now were gone.


    Jacky: ¡°That ¡­.¡±


    Olward: ¡°Interesting right? How does it keep up, even with the user fainting?¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. more importantly, why is she burning. And how the fuck can we stop that!¡±


    Olward: ¡°Slow down. And lay down again. All with time~¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Olward seemed rather relaxed. Okay, it seems as Ari isn''t in any pain. And from the looks ¡­. she didn''t had a scratch on her smooth skin. Her eyes looked really nice with the flames all over. And ¡­. ahh wait! Stop we need to prioritize thought process power ¡­. Cancel out the flame my mind!


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. it''s not working.¡±


    Olward: ¡°So canceling it out from the caster doesn''t work. I thought this would happen.¡±


    Ari: ¡°I-it''s not bad master. Don''t worry ¡­. I am sorry ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. it''s okay. That was my fault too. SARA STOP STARING AT HER!¡±


    Sara: ¡°Right, right~¡±


    Ari was in an apologetic mood. While Sara was enjoying the sight. Olward seemed more fascinate by the [Magic] then the nude Ari. What a bunch ¡­. Never mind ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Any ideas how to stop that?¡±


    Olward: ¡°Hmm. We tried already. [Water Magic], [Wind Magic] and [Earth Magic]. Even [Healing Magic] and [Anti-Curse Magic] didn''t work.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Sara: ¡°Ari was buried~ With just a pipe to breath trough~ The pipe burnt~ And she was excavated again~ Still burning.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Sara: ¡°I blocked the view as good as I could~ So the guards didn''t get to see her.¡±


    At least Sara had some amount of decent friendship and shame in her. But with that grin on her face, she''s enjoying this way too much.


    Olward: ¡°It should stop soon anyways.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°How come your that sure about it?¡±


    Olward: ¡°You casted that magic to protect her from damage. The flames seemed to have worked like an extra speed boost. Even pushed away the walls that were in the way.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Olward: ¡°Oh yeah. I forgot. We are banned from using the garden. You ended up burning that area around the first wall. The fire was hardly suppressed by a bunch of court magicians. It more likely went out on itself~¡±


    Olward: ¡°Ari''s footsteps even left some burn marks in the stone floor~¡±


    Gah ¡­. I might need to hide from that gardener forever. I hope the damage wasn''t that bad ¡­.


    Olward: ¡°Ari ended up. Hmm, I think it was around 8 or so walls. Yes, she broke trough around 8 walls. Till she slowed down and crash landed in an funny pose.¡±


    Sara: ¡°Yes, that sight was wonderful~¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. you two ¡­. want to run a bit?¡±


    Olward: ¡°Haha~¡±


    Olward took it with a laugh. While looking at me he stopped and made an rather apologetic facial expression. Sara just sheepishly smiled at me. Yeah, I would have wanted to see that pose too. I can imagine that Ari, laying face down and ass up.


    Olward: ¡°Sorry. Let''s focus.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Yes.¡±


    Olward: ¡°So why do I think it will stop? Simply said, your [Mana] should run out anytime soon. We can now finally check the overall amount and what is left. As your awake now.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°AH! That''s right! Without [Mana] even if I am keeping that up unconsciously. It should stop.¡±


    That''s rather simple. I remember that we didn''t talk about much about [Mana]. I hope it''s that simple.


    Jacky: ¡°We can check that now. But anyways. I won''t use [Power] for the time being. I don''t want Ari to end up in some monstrous form ¡­. If I accidentally see the need to change her that way in my consciousness ¡­.¡±


    Imagine Ari as a gorilla like monster. Arms and torso being multiplied in muscle force ¡­. The legs being strained with pulsating veins. And the whole body enveloped in flames with death round eyes, filled with blood lust. While sharp looking fangs protrude out of her mouth. Uwaah ¡­. yeah, no experimenting till I can control myself fully ¡­. My imagination can be quite messed up ¡­.


    Olward: ¡°Hold this cube in your hands.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Okay. Let''s see.¡±


    I did just hold the cube in my hand. It began to make a rattling noise. But was unmoving.


    Jacky: ¡°Hmm.¡±


    Olward: ¡°Just relax, there will be just a number as with the last one. Shouldn''t take long.¡±


    Staring at the cube in my hand. The rattling didn''t die down for a few minutes. Then finally some numeric values appeared in smokey form.


    265987/315723 ++131,5 ++?


    Jacky: ¡°That''s a rather large amount left ¡­. What does that third number mean?¡±


    Olward: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Olward?¡±


    Olward''s eyes seemed to pop out any moment now. His mouth opens and closes like a fish out of an water tank. While the first number slowly decreased with time. Even Sara had an deadpan look. Ari couldn''t decide if she should be happy or sad somehow. What''s up? Is that an really high value ¡­. can''t be. I am a [Hero] but this body shouldn''t have more power then before ¡­. I¡¯m not really strong or anything.


    Jacky: ¡°Olward?!¡±


    Olward: ¡°Ah, yes. Facinating ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. it''s bad ¡­.¡±


    Olward: ¡°No, not bad ¡­. just. A normal Human has about 100~500 [Mana]. An court magician has about 1000~5000 [Mana]. The persons which body your now using had about 8000 [Mana]. That value is just crazy.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Olward looked trough the numbers again. And began calculating something with an abacus. Number crunching?


    Olward: ¡°Hmm, so it''s like that.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°What ¡­.¡±


    Olward: ¡°You have a rather large amount of [Mana] at your hands. But the regeneration is really slow in comparison. For a normal human 131,5 [Mana] per hour ¡­. would be dreamlike. But for you to regenerate your full amount. You would need about 100 days.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Olward: ¡°And letting the [Mana] run out doesn''t seem to be an option. The upkeep of that [Magic] on Ari, is barely more then the regeneration speed you have.¡±


    ¡­. Oh yes, fuck.


    Thanks God.


    Nice going there~


    What''s up with this shit?


    Jacky: ¡°How can we cancel it out then ¡­.¡±


    Olward: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Yeah. Olward seems to have no idea too. I looked at Ari again, she was still kneeling in the chimney like before. These flames from what are they fueled. What does the [Mana] convert to to make them ¡­.


    A silence spread trough the room.


    *GROWWWllLWWWWRRRR*


    Huh? My stomach. Okay, that was one load growling right there. I didn''t ate any dinner ¡­. but it shouldn''t ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°AH!¡±


    Olward: ¡°!?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°I got it! Ari !¡±


    I stood up and moved myself to the chimney. I finally understood something. [Flame Magic]=[Oxygen and Burnables]=[Mana] that is clear. But from what comes [Mana]?! From food! It must be so! So [Food]=[Mana]. That means!


    I got closer to Ari. It''s really hot directly beside her. But I should be able to do this.


    Jacky: ¡°Ari, sit there and don''t move.¡±


    Ari: ¡°YES?!¡±


    I tried to envision the flames as [Food]. They sure looked somehow tasty coming from Ari''s body. I extended my hand. Grabbing a part of the flames with my hand.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Olward: ¡°!¡±


    And shoved it into my mouth. It wasn''t that hot. Maybe about 40 or so Celsius. It burned my tongue and trout a bit. But I could swallow it down nicely. The part of the flame I ate from Ari''s body didn''t come back. Olward was in a frenzy, shouting ¡°Amazing!¡± all around. Sara was just staring at me. While I was continuing to eat away on the flames.


    After a few minutes, I finished it finally. Ari wasn''t covered in flames anymore. I don''t need to explain, that I needed to touch her everywhere to grab the remains of the flames. Directly from her body~


    So to avoid the hindrance that were the other two. I send them out. And commanded Ari around, mostly into strange poses to reach the flames better. Like stretching out her leg to me. Or turning her back, while leaning back a bit. I may have gone a bit overboard ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Finally. This should be it.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Afterward Ari didn''t look me into the eyes for the rest of the day. We didn''t sleep together too. And only Sara went with me into the bath complex ¡­.


    I somehow got two nicknames I didn¡¯t want from that accident. [Magic Eater Hero] and [Master Pervert Hero] ¡­. I heard the first one a lot. The second one only trough Sara. As she teased me, that all the palace personnel were talking about me like that behind my back. I hope it''s not true ¡­. but it''s accurate. That was more fun then I wanted to admit ¡­. My tongue and trout still burns a bit. No one wanted to heal these minor wounds ¡­. I hope [Soul Magic] is less dangerous ¡­. in these regards.


    Before I went to sleep. I ate together with the royalty again. Gustav was asking away like an waterfall. The queen wasn''t taking any action. As same as before, everyone except Gustav left early. And I was the last one to leave, after I ate a massive amount of food. I checked with the cube. My [Mana] went up more then it should with the hourly regeneration. So I am truly right about that ¡­.


    Plans about whacking Ari in shape, were postponed for now.


    <hr />


    Happy new  year. I need to go now~

 Chapter 5: Tea and Cookies

    *Just a note* This one is rather short. I first wanted to make it a chapter about exploring the town only. But somehow .... it came out like this. Let''s get to seriuosly doing some exploring next! I just couldn''t put this into the same chapter ... *note end* PS: Took only roughly 1 hour + 15 minutes editing some stuff.  I am getting faster when i am emerged in it.


    Chapter 5: Tea and Cookies


    I was woken up again by Sara. But sadly Ari wasn''t sleeping with me. She was already standing there beside Sara. I need to apologize ¡­. aren''t I at fault? Not having a warm body beside me, somehow is disheartening. It''s like how my old pet cat always calmed me down with it''s warmth. And when it was gone ¡­. I had trouble sleeping soundly.


    Jacky: ¡°Good morning you two. Sorry about yesterday.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Sara: ¡°No worrys, Ari still likes you~¡±


    Ari: ¡°T-T-THAT''S!¡±


    Sara: ¡°See~¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Ari ¡­. don''t react to it if it bothers you. But at  least that means, I can later apologize fully. Ha, relations to others are kind of complicated. The more so ¡­. if you mess up constantly.


    Sara: ¡°Ah, yes. I forgot to tell master something.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Huh?¡±


    What''s with the formal tone now. She can speak normal!! I witnessed a miracle. Somehow Sara can speak in a normal tone!


    Sara: ¡°Yes. It is about today. Minister Serbert wanted me to tell you. That he is rather busy today. So your free to go explore the city.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°The city.¡±


    Sara: ¡°Let''s have fun~¡±


    Ah ¡­. now I get it why she changed to that kind of speech form. She wants to come too. Both of them are maids in my service. But foremost they''re maids of the palace. So going outside of the palace is rather rare. Or better to say not permitted outside of duty ¡­.  That would explain her behavior.


    Jacky: ¡°So we three are going to the city today. It''s the capital city. Is it big?¡±


    Sara: ¡°Yes!¡±


    Ari: ¡°We can come along?!¡±


    Sara: ¡°Master said so~ So it''s an order~¡±


    Ari: ¡°B-but ¡­. don''t we need Miss Ratien''s seal of approval ¡­.¡±


    Sara: ¡° ¡­ ah ¡­.¡±


    Who''s that now? So it''s not enough to just go outside with me. They need some kind of permission, stamped with an seal?


    That should be simple.


    Jacky: ¡°Let''s get that. Shouldn''t be a problem for the [Hero].¡±


    Sara: ¡° Ah ¡­ right ¡­.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Huh? Why these faces. You two look like your hiding something. Not even trying to hide your emotions there ¡­. Is it some kind of fat chubby noble lady, that will squeal and pinch you into the cheeks? What are you, kids? Hahahaa~


    Jacky: ¡°Let''s get me ready and then go.¡±


    Today it cleaning was just cat washing with an towel. The reasons were, the bath complex was only opened 2 days per week. Duo to the high amount of [Mana] that was needed to be applied from an number of servants. Gosh, don''t make it needlessly big. If you can''t afford it ¡­.. I want a shower ¡­. and shampoo ¡­. and conditioner ¡­. But being washed with a soft towel. Wasn''t all that bad~ Still ¡­. why did I need to change into that loincloth. It would have been fine with panties only ¡­.


    Sara: ¡°Here we are ¡­.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    A normal looking door. In a normal looking corridor of the palace. I couldn''t really read what was written there. Oh, that reminds me ¡­. how I am supposed to read the books I was handed. Ahh, let''s think about that later. Knocking onto the door. A voice answered in an friendly tone.


    Friendly Voice: ¡°Yes, come in?¡±


    Wait ¡­. I know that voice. I moved away from the door and looked back at Ari and Sara. Both tried to not look me into the eyes. The door opened and who came out was ¡­.


    Elsa: ¡°Ah, it''s the Hero. Fufu~ I knew that smell~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°!!PANTIE THIEF!!¡±


    Elsa: ¡°Hmm, is that a way to great someone. Bad [Hero]~¡±


    Ahh, I need to run. I can guess what comes next. Punishment.


    Okay ¡­. next time be more wary when these two act abnormal.


    Jacky: ¡°Was a mistake, bye.¡±


    I ran with full speed back into the direction of the stairs. That would lead me onto the way to my room. About 19 minutes of slow walking ¡­. so 5 minutes of running. I may die from that ¡­.


    Elsa: ¡°Fufu~ Wait cute [Hero]~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°!!!¡±


    What the! Fuck! She''s fast, even faster then Ari! Before I could react, I was already caught in her arms ¡­. Why did I think I was able to run from a deminhuman ¡­. It''s like how you should play death when you come across an wild animal ¡­. running will only entice it to chase you down ¡­.


    Elsa: ¡°Bad [Hero], running from a young maiden like me. For no reason~¡±


    Don''t call yourself a young maiden ¡­. Wait! WAIT!


    Jacky: ¡°STOP FEELING UP MY ASS!¡±


    Elsa: ¡°Fufu~ What are you talking about~¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. ¡­. ¡­.¡±


    Elsa: ¡°Let¡¯s go into my office~ I have some good tea and self baked cookies~¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. ¡­¡±


    Okay. I understand. I will not react to her. She''s clearly enjoying teasing people. And sexually harassing them. Do I look like I care for tea and cookies? She carried me into her office. Ari and Sara were already standing inside. Looking somewhat guilty ¡­. Ari''s mood was easy to see, her ears and tail were downcast and submissive. Elsa may be an stronger adversary then the entire [Demon] army ¡­. at least for anyone that she sets her eyes on. I hope I am not seen similar as her ¡­. she''s on a whole other level in terms of being  perverted.


    Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.


    Elsa: ¡°Now for what did the cute[Hero] came to the lovely me~ Clearly to mess around with me, Fufu~¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Elsa: ¡°Even if you ask~ I can''t allow that~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°I am not here for that ¡­. I need an permission for these two to leave the castle. Pleaes hand it out.¡±


    Elsa was looking at Ari and Sara, then at me. Then she tiled her head a bit. Next she put her index finger on her lips.


    Elsa: ¡°Maybe~¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Elsa: ¡°Don''t you want to ask? Fufu~¡±


    I get it, I get it so stop with that. Is it not enough already that I am held captive on your lap. Getting my head petted ¡­. and being served milk tea with cookies ¡­. Why am I treated like an kid here. I am 164 cm in height ¡­. and I am clearly in an adults body. I should ask someone what age that temple priestess exactly was ¡­. But I can''t imagine someone that is so hairy down there being underage. And I am not that much smaller then Ari!


    Jacky: ¡°What do you need from me?¡±


    Elsa: ¡°Be my guest~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Your guest ¡­.¡±


    What''s with that. I am being held captive ¡­. she wants me to be her guest?


    Elsa: ¡°Yes~ Come here everyday~ And have tea with me~ Fufu~¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Elsa: ¡°You see. Elsa has a lot to do here~ So I can''t leave my office often. That is sad or?¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Elsa: ¡°So if you want to go out and have fun~ You will come visit me from now on~ Everyday, fu~¡±


    ¡­. Seriously. I may be a bit dense in some terms. I get that Ari likes me. And that Sara wants to befriend me, with a few ulterior motives. This one ¡­.


    Elsa: ¡°So, what will the cute [Hero] do~ Hmm~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°If you hand back my panties from before ¡­. and stop with the touching. I will come for a tea time.¡±


    Elsa: ¡°Elsa will prepare the permission for Ari and Sara~ Fu~ This will be fun~ Fufu~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Okay, so hand back the panties. And stop petting my head!¡±


    Elsa: ¡°Fu? What are you talking about?¡±


    What''s with this dog! Can''t you remember your own agreements! Awwwwwwwwwww!! I get it. They made her head maid. Loaded her with massive amounts of desk work. Just to lock her up somewhere ¡­. But still she must do her work well ¡­. I would have fired her already.


    Jacky: ¡°Ha ¡­. please hand over the permission. We will leave then.¡±


    Elsa: ¡°First some tea with my cute [Hero]~ FUFU~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Stop touching me all over! Head is okay. Sides and Breast and Butt are no go!¡±


    Elsa: ¡°Fufu~¡±


    While being molested from time to time. I managed to show no reaction. Drank my tea and ate the cookies that were offered with it. Rather tasty, both of it. If only ¡­.


    Elsa: ¡° *Sniff Sniff* [Hero] smells so good~ fuufuufu~¡±


    Elsa was cuddling with me while I had my tea. From time to time she would just normally pet my head. Making Fufu sounds. Then she would sniff on my hair or touch me somewhere, mostly just lightly. She didn''t go far with it, just enough to feel me up some. So I rather got used to that fast ¡­. I would prefer to say so. But my face was flushed. Even I could remain calm, that was exiting ¡­. in itself. Being at her mercy ¡­.


    After I had finished the whole tea kettle by myself. And emptied the basket full of cookies. Elsa finally was a bit perplexed and out of tact.


    Elsa: ¡° ¡­. already empty ¡­. so fast ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°The tea and cookies were good. So stop touching and hand over the permission.¡±


    Elsa: ¡° ¡­. ah right ¡­. it was a promise ¡­. fu ¡­.¡±


    Now your unhappy? Suit yourself. A unloyal perverted dog isn''t needed. Cat''s are better! I will hold that end of the deal too ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°I will come again. But I might not come daily. I am still training so, bear with it.¡±


    Elsa: ¡°Fufu~¡±


    Ahh don''t cling to me pervert dog. I am already regretting making that deal. But if i can''t go outside without these two ¡­. they would be pretty pissed. If alone I had my fun. And they still being confined to the palace.


    Jacky: ¡°*sigh* please the permission ¡­.¡±


    Elsa: ¡°Come back soon~ Here you go.¡±


    What I got was an paper with a bunch of characters I couldn''t read. The last one was a thumb print and an x ¡­. Don''t tell me ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. You can''t read or write ¡­.?¡±


    Elsa: ¡°Yes, cute [Hero] sure is attentive~ How did you know?¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­ just a guess ¡­¡±


    What are these idiot nobles doing ¡­. Fire her already! Or  put her into a dog house as guard! She will surely bark at each intruder that is in her taste ¡­. And kill all the ones that are not.


    After getting set down from Elsa''s lap. I finally was free again. Sara, Ari and Me went outside of the palace. I didn''t say a word to them. They kept quite too. Better to not talk about that person, but I am sure to remember this. We are now quit Ari! Don''t you dare be sulky because of what I did before. I am going to harass you sexually if you are!

 Chapter 6: First time …. in the Capital City

    *This one is normal sized again. The next chapter is still in the city. But focused on something else. If your sharp, you could guess what happens next. Dectective Sherlock Holmes would be proud of you~*


    Chapter 6: First time ¡­. in the Capital City


    (No pun intended ¡­ yeah. Sorry to shatter hopes.)


    After a good walk in the palace perimeter.


    We finally reached a guard post. I could see the street to the city. It was roughly paved stone. And not as artistically plastered with busts or cut plants, like most of the outdoor ways in the palace. It wasn''t dirty. At least not visually full of waste, muggers, thief''s or hobos. Looked rather secure and sanitary for a medieval city.


    Random Male Guard: ¡°Halt, please state your business and show your permission.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°I want to go outside, here is the permission.¡±


    Random Male Guard: ¡°That ¡­ I mean what is your duty for going outside.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Exploring?¡±


    Random Male Guard: ¡°Give me that permission.¡±


    The guard was a bit perplexed about me. After reading through the permission, he winked us trough. Probably didn''t recognized me as the [Hero]. So I may be able to go incognito outside of the ones I was introduced too. Didn''t I stand on a balcony and waved like crazy to the masses?


    After getting on the sidewalk of the street. What wasn''t marked at all. Just normal street too. But people just walked around freely there, so it''s a sidewalk.


    Jacky: ¡°Oh!¡±


    Sara: ¡°What is it master?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Don''t call me master outside. That is. I just finally understood. Most people couldn''t have seen me clearly, that far away ¡­. So my face isn''t known?¡±


    Sara: ¡°That seems right. What should I call you then~ How about [Master Pervert Hero]~¡±


    ¡­. Yes, Sara. Your going to get smacked someday. Stop teasing me, while I want to hide the [Hero] thing.


    Jacky: ¡°Just Jacky. When were outside, don''t act like usual. Hmm, be friendly? But not too friendly?¡±


    How do these two act normally. When I am not around? I never got to know them ¡­ before our [Hero] and servant relationship started.


    Sara: ¡°So we should act natural? That would be the same as always~¡±


    Ari: ¡°I-i think so too.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°It''s fine. But let''s walk together and not so far apart. Regardless on how I look at it. You two look like your following ''someone''.¡±


    Sara: ¡°You just could have said so~¡±


    Sara was clinging on my side. While Ari pouted with a cute sound. And after a short moment, we began to walk around looking rather normally. No one was doing anything stupid or crass for now. Ari''s eyes lit up sometimes when she saw a stand with grilled meat or one with fish. Sara was more focusing on the interior of the shops we went by. There was a huge variety. Armor Shops, Weapon Shops, Vanity Shops, Some Medical Looking Shops, Pet Shops, some rather dusky Shops that smelled of shady business ¡­. Overall interesting assortment of different kind of shops. And we were only walking around a bit.


    Jacky: ¡°Let''s get something to eat. Shall we?¡±


    Sara: ¡°Yes, sure~¡±


    Air: ¡°Right!¡±


    Oh wait ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Do you ¡­. two have any money on you?¡±


    Sara: ¡°Oh ¡­.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Okay, we are penniless beggars outside. They probably have money. But left it in the palace. I for myself am penniless. Why should someone give money to the [Hero]? I didn''t need any up till now.


    Jacky: ¡°That is ¡­.¡±


    Sara: ¡°What can we do ¡­. let go back?¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­. but we''re out already. Won''t it get late ¡­.¡±


    Hmm. It took us rather long with all that action with Elsa. Walking around and window shopping. Before we had a small breakfast in the palace kitchen, but that was like at 10 am. How late is it? Hmm, according to the standings of the sun ¡­. maybe 2pm~3pm? I am not that hungry ¡­. but I ate a lot this morning.


    Sara: ¡°How about selling off Ari?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Don''t joke about that ¡­.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­. Sara, don''t be mean ¡­.¡±


    Sara: ¡°Haha ¡­. it was a joke, a joke. ¡­ come on I am sorry. Don''t be like that.¡±


    So you know when your going to far. At least to some degree.


    Hmm, but the idea isn''t bad in itself. Not selling off Ari, but selling something. Do I have something I can sell?


    Jacky: ¡°Hmm ¡­.¡±


    Sara: ¡°? ¡­. What is it?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°You two come here for a moment.¡±


    We went into an back alley area. I wanted to talk with them a bit, about what I had thought of. This should work, probably. Maybe it will be even fun.


    Jacky: ¡°Do you two know about street performance?¡±


    Sara: ¡°Ah! That could work.¡±


    Ari: ¡°?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°So Sara knows and Ari doesn''t.¡±


    Sara: ¡° ¡­. but what would we do ¡­.¡±


    Ari: ¡°?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Hmm. I thought about magic.¡±


    Sara: ¡°That is ¡­. I can''t use magic and Ari is the same.¡±


    Ari: ¡°HEY! Don''t leave me out!¡±


    Staring at Ari, I was grinning. Sorry~


    I will explain it. So stop looking at me like that.


    Jacky: ¡°Ari, it''s like dancing in front of others. Or doing fun tricks. Singing for them or anything your skilled at.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­. why would someone do that ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°You''re entertaining people. So they might give you some small change. It''s an simple business idea. Used by travelers, nomads and such.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­. we will do that?¡±


    Sara: ¡°I think we will. It might work out~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°No getting Ari naked. That will only be disadvantageous.¡±


    Ari: ¡°!¡±


    Sara made a ''tch'' sound. I am ruining that fun for sure. I don''t want Ari dancing nude while being in public. With an emphasis on public. Hmm, so I am the only one being able to use magic. Could /that/ work ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°You two listen to me for a moment. Are there spitfire artist''s here?¡±


    Sara: ¡°You mean dragons?¡±


    Ar: ¡°Why should there be a dragon here.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°No I mean like. Someone who spits out fire for entertainment. Not in a race sense.¡±


    Sara and Ari were looking at each other. Both made  a nodded ''No''. So there aren''t any ¡­. great! This will work. I just need to get hands on alcohol ¡­. wait I can do this without buying alcohol!


    Jacky: ¡°Okay. Come closer you two and listen.¡±


    I explained roughly what I wanted to do. Made some gestures of me breathing fire. Ari seemed pumped up, Sara had eyes that shone dangerously from greed. Hehe, this might work.


    Jacky: ¡°So you two will have to work as my assistants.¡±


    Looking at them ¡­. just now I saw something that was putting this into jeopardy. They both did wear their uniforms. Why didn''t I notice ¡­. Won''t they get noticed?


    Ari: ¡°Assistants?¡±


    Sara: ¡°Ari, like gathering up people. And cheering and stuff like that~ It''s like that theater that is shown to the royalty.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Ah. I understand. We get their attention, then master will spit fire at them! ¡­. But how is that fun?¡±


    Sara and Me couldn''t believe our ears. Ari, it seems I need to educate you on some common sense. Okay, maybe I should  better ask someone else. Sara is out of that list ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Ari, more like. You two gather peoples attention and I show them fire tricks. No killing off people on the street for money ¡­.¡±


    Ari: ¡°I-i know!!¡±


    Sara: ¡°Ari ¡­.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Don''t look at me like that! I know!¡±


    Anyways. I shall rag in some pocket change. We will need some money for snacks at least. If it goes well ¡­. maybe I can get some normal looking clothes. I want to stop wearing frilly dresses ¡­. Who''s making them anyways ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Okay. Gather up people. And when I am doing tricks. Just go around and ask for a tip or token of gratitude~¡±


    Ari: ¡°Right!¡±


    Sara: ¡°Sure~¡±


    There I stood now on the sidewalk of an street. It was rather lively. A short headcount and I stopped at around 40 or so people that were in sights range. Ari and Sara began to tell people we were going to do a street performance. Many came ¡­. at least that''s what I wanted to think. 4 Kids were standing before me. Ari and Sara looked a bit heartbroken. Ahh ¡­ no good.


    Male Kid 1: ¡°Are you gonna start?¡±


    All 4 Kids: ¡°Start~!¡±


    Ahh. Fine, whatever. People will see me doing my performance. Then more should gather anyways.


    Jacky: ¡°Step back a bit. I feel like sne-sneezing ¡­.¡±


    All 4 Kids: ¡°???¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Ha-ha-TCHY!!¡±


    A green flame shoot out of my nose. Or better to say I made flames that were close to my face, not in my nose. That would hurt ¡­. Why was it green? It''s like snoot, colored greenish. Mix some Cooper[II] metallic ions into a flame. Whola, it''s green. It was an first try. But success was given, imagination was the driving force behind this kind of magic. Still how did I manage to actually great cooper like that? Never mind the details. I know everything about the basic information of elements ¡­. that was crammed into my head for some tests from apprentice times.


    Jacky: ¡°Ah. So much! Sorry~¡±


    All 4 Kids: ¡°!!!¡±


    I flung down the green flames onto the ground. As they vanished, while being stared at by the kids. I took a deep breath and closed of one nostril with my index finger pressing against it.


    Jacky: ¡°Hrrggz.¡±


    All 4 Kids: ¡°!!!!¡±


    I shoot out some purple flames that directly vanished. Did this 3 times in an row~ Making an aggravated grimace of righting my nose with my fingers. And made a proud stance with my hands seated on my sides.


    Jacky: ¡°So let''s start~¡±


    Silence. Pure Silence. I thought that was funny ¡­. It should at least be somewhat original. The nobles were perplexed by that blue flame. So coloring flames seemed a good choice.


    Male Kid 1: ¡°HAHAHAHAHA!!¡±


    Female Kid 1: ¡°Woah ¡­. you sneeze flames.¡±


    Female Kid 2: ¡°A Dragon Sister!¡±


    Female Kid 3: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Oh delayed reaction. But it worked~ Being called a Dragon Sister. Kind of makes me proud~ Garrh~ <Author Note: This is like a Dragon growling sound in my mind.


    Jacky: ¡°That was nothing~ Hahaha~¡±


    3 of the Kids: ¡°More! More!¡±


    Female Kid 3: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Ari and Sara were fascinated too by it. I waved my hand with an /go and get more people/ intention. But I already could see a few adults standing around and observing me. This can work~


    Jacky: ¡°Ehem~ Next I will make some strings~¡±


    I took a deep breath. More out of show effect then anything else. And concentrated on making new flames. I just created flames close to my lips. It was a bit hot, luckily they aren''t as hot to the casters body as they are to the set enemy or target. So I could go trough with it. I formed the flames instantly to an thin string. I did only press them into that shape, not compressing them that much. Made it really easy to produce a large amount.


    Jacky: ¡°Ha~¡±


    The Kids and People that gathered stared at the amount of flame string. The pile was higher as myself. I grabbed the end of the string.


    Jacky: ¡°String~ String~ My little String~ Climb, Climb~ Make a ladder~¡±


    I managed to actually move the string to my will. Weaving and knotting. It became a simple string ladder. The thickness was that of an normal rope now. As many layers of string were weaved together. Hmm, can this hold out my weight ¡­. Probably ¡­. not. I touched one of the steps with  my free hand. The step felt quite solid, but still rather soft. Warmth wise ¡­. still around 40 Celsius. Even when I tried to imagine it being a cold flame, it didn''t get colder. Bummer ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Let''s climb~¡±


    Random Person: ¡°Whoa ¡­. what''s with that magic.¡±


    Most adults that gathered around were in awe. The kids around increased in number and had sparkling eyes. Huh~ Hu~


    This is working well~ I took off my shoes and socks, as they would burn from the flames. Like what happened with Ari''s clothes. And began to climb the self made flame ladder. While avoiding to burn the dress I had on me.


    Jacky: ¡°Heav~ ho~¡±


    Mass of People: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    I climbed the stairs with slow and steady steps. While changing the color of the strings that I touched to an carmine color, duo lithium ions that I made appear in these flame strings. When I reached the end of the ladder. I bent it a bit more flat. So that I could stand on a platform.


    Jacky: ¡°Hmm~¡±


    Mass of People: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.


    About 4 meters from ground. It wasn''t all that high. But I stood on a ladder made out of rope of fire. To me it lacked a bit of the fire characteristic. As it was rather static, so ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Ha~ Come to me fire~¡±


    Mass of People: ¡°AHH!¡±


    The whole flame ladder began to burn violently. I managed to infuse more [Mana] into the strings with my imagination and the will for a showy effect. And set some of the strings, free from the pressure. So that the rope was now clad in a normal flame color. As I stood there some people began to show a bit of panic. Others where clapping cheerfully. Or cheering me on with their voices. The ladder felt a bit woobly now, but still was rather solid.


    Jacky: ¡°Hatchy!¡±


    Some People: ¡° C-c-Catch her!¡±


    Some of the audience came running closer to the flame ladder. Why? I just had the idea of adding nickel ions into all of it. I just hope ¡­. that I am not allergic to it. It shouldn''t be a problem. The amount is minuscule. Faking sneezing is stupid ¡­.


    Caused by the whole flame becoming silver-white and more like colorless duo to the sunlight. Some people wanted to save me.


    Jacky: ¡°Don''t come closer. I am alright!¡±


    I stomped onto the semi-invisible ladder. And applause was coming from the crowd. The once that were kind enough to try to help me, where feeling relived or a bit embarrassed. It was hard to make out in the mass of people. Sara ¡­. yeah she is working. Going around and asking for money. Ari was just standing in the crowd and applauding ¡­. Get to work!


    Jacky: ¡°Okay ladder~ Descend~¡±


    I imagined the ladder folding up. While I stopped adding nickel to it trough magic means. The effect was more hilarious and grand then I had imagined. There I was getting closer to the ground. While whipping a bit forth and back. The ladder folded itself in terms of 2 steps. Change a part a bit below me to an < ankle. While the platform was stable. And fold it up. Then keep doing that with the other direction of an > ankle. The flames played cheerfully around that whole spectacle. And I was soon on ground level again. Standing on top of an bulky mass of flaming mass. Great success~


    Jacky: ¡°Good work my flames~¡±


    Proudly standing there it was getting a bit hot. I had my arms stretched out into the air as a victory pose. I can endure this degree of heat. It''s around normal bad water temperature, when it''s cold outside.


    Male Kid 1: ¡°Oh! Look! Even burning she''s not bothered by it!¡±


    Yes, that is right I am not bothered at all when I am ¡­. AHH!!


    Jacky: ¡°!¡±


    I was trying to extinguish the flames that were starting to burn up the dress I wore. With a bit panicked slaps to the dress. I stopped the flame magic immediately, which I had left going on. Oh God! I didn''t notice that mishap! Half of the dress was gone already. And some shortened version of it was remaining.


    Jacky: ¡°Hehe ¡­.¡±


    Uhh ¡­. People were staring without a sound. This is embarrassing ¡­. Then suddenly the crowd began to clap their hands and call for encore. Cheerfully not minding that I burned my clothes. While using magic unknown to them with an haughty professional attitude. After regaining my footing and somewhat gaining command of my woobly legs, duo embarrassment. I bowed to the crowd that didn''t stop with their appreciation of my performance.


    Sara: ¡°Please~ Leave a token of gratitude if you enjoyed the show. That was the last dress we had~¡±


    Sara was blatantly using the chance and increased her money grubbing skills with lies and flattery.


    Sara: ¡°God sir, wont you give us some more?¡±


    Some Man: ¡°Ah ¡­ yes. Here.¡±


    Puh that was more exciting then my heart can hold. I should ¡­. get some fire resistant clothes. There needs to be some kind of that here ¡­.. Ari, still wasn''t doing much. But people came to her. Giving her some small change. So I will tell her /good job/ later on, even if she just kept watching and cheering me on ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Thanks for watching everyone. Thank you very much.¡±


    Some People: ¡°Another round~ More~¡±


    Ahh, stop it ¡­ That was already more then I thought I could pull of. I wanted to just make some colored fire first. That rope surprised me in it''s usability. And ¡­. I can only make varying shades of red, green, yellow, purple, white and blue. With what knowledge I have about the so called /flame test/ from basic chemistry. Hmm .. wait. I could do that, even if it''s not dark. If I make it bright and big enough ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°As gratitude for watching the performance and leaving something behind. Please look at the sky~¡±


    Mass of People: ¡°The sky?¡± ¡°Hu?¡± ¡°What''s there?¡±


    If we had a thief on us. Now was the chance to pickpocket~ Hehe~ No, I won''t fall<del> that</del> low.


    Let''s make the end flashy. I gathered a bigger amount of [Mana] and shot some compressed flame balls into the sky. Which I added varying mixes of metallic ions to. As they reached a decent height. The visibility wasn''t enough to make them out anymore. I stooped compressing them, one after another with a delay in between.


    Fireworks lit up the sky. With some bangs and only small amounts of smoke. The different mixes of ions, made the flames be colored wildly. The ones that had magnesium/ titanium mix salts added to them, sparkled violently. Whoa, first try success. I want black powder now ¡­. or better cellulose nitrate ¡­.


    Everyone: ¡° ¡­!.¡±


    This is nice. I wonder how good that would look when it''s dark. After going around collecting some money myself. The crowd slowly dispersed. Luckily no guards showed up. But I am sure ¡­. that some people are in panic right now. That looked dangerously, if you didn''t knew from who it came.


    As the crowd dispersed more and more, some kids were always hanging around me. Trying to talk me into making more flames in the sky.


    Jacky: ¡°Sorry, sis is tired now. So some other time~¡±


    With my best smile I could muster. I tried to chase them away. The numbers dwindled, but I needed a lot of such statements till there was only one fellow left.


    Jacky: ¡°I am sorry. But there won''t be more for now.¡±


    Female Kid 3: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    What a strange one ¡­. Starring at me like that. Your starting to bug me. Please get going, go play~ Shu~ I wanted to say such words, but I just ignored her. She will go away without making a scene, if I keep ignoring her ¡­.


    Female Kid 3: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Aww, never mind. I need to meet up with Ari and Sara. Toilet time ¡­. and I am getting hungry too. The tea from that Elsa is making haste now of all times.


    Ari: ¡°Look~ I got so much~ Master is so great~¡±


    Sara: ¡°I didn''t think it would work so well. We should do this regularly~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Yeah, yeah. So do we have enough for some dinner? I kind of want to make haste. Ari ¡­. stop with the Master, it''s Jacky now.¡±


    Sara was collecting the money we had gathered up. I don''t know the value of these. Most coins were cooper colored, but they had some varying signs engraved in them. A few ones were silver, they all had the same signs engraved. No gold ones ¡­. as expected. No one would give that out, they are most likely precious here. I need Sara to educate me on the worth of these sometime. I should note that down.


    Later in a pub like establishment.


    Jacky: ¡°Ah, I am feeling alive again~ Did you order already?¡±


    Sara: ¡°Yes~ I ordered for us. We made quite the haul back there~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Hmm, how much did we earn?¡±


    Sara had exchanged the smaller cooper coins to silver ones in this pub. I saw that when I went to the toilet. But I didn''t count them from afar. So I was rather curious, what my short performance brought in.


    Sara: ¡°We got 17 Silver coins and 32 greater cooper coins~ The exchange did cost 5 greater cooper and the meal will cost 8 greater cooper~¡±


    Ari: ¡°So much ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Is that much?¡±


    Sara: ¡°Yes~ It''s more then I earn in a month of service!¡±


    Uhh, it''s that much. How much is it exactly ¡­. in terms of time I could life from it. A meal + drinks for three is 8 greater copper?


    Jacky: ¡°So what would a night at an normal Inn, with meals and drinks, cost?¡±


    Sara: ¡°Hmm, the region matters. But it should be around 5 to 20 greater cooper coins.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°And a silver coin makes, how many greater cooper coins?¡±


    Sara: ¡°100~¡±


    Okay. So I earned enough money to go ¡­. hmm about 17 days of lodging. If it''s about 10 greater cooper days per day. That''s quite something.


    Jacky: ¡°Thank you Sara. You''re quite knowledgeable about this.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Sara: ¡°I have to thank you Jacky~ I rarely get the chance to drink and eat outside~ And that was fun~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Yeah. Even if I burned my clothes rather badly.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­¡±


    Jacky: ¡°You two did well. Thanks for the good work.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Yes!~¡±


    Sara: ¡°Yes~ Will gladly do that again~¡±


    Both of them were happy what came off that performance. It was a lot of fun. The amount of money we made, was really nice. I could live like that. I could probably make a run for it ¡­. but they won''t let me go that easily.


    Waitress 1: ¡°Here''s your order~¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Sara: ¡°Thanks~¡±


    Ari: ¡°Thanks.¡±


    Whoa, a genuine cowgirl. And that size ¡­. humongous ¡­.


    She was even taller then Sara, about 240cm? And her bust size ¡­. I dunno. M for Melons? It was clear why she did work here as waitress. Eye candy + strength. She had 3 huge mugs of something ale like with her and an tray with an huge amount of grilled meat and some salad. The tray was pressed a bit against her bosom, so that it wouldn''t fall. Her outfit was similar to what I would call /October festival style/. A kind of short rock made out of cloth, a leather over top with a white blouse underneath. And that characteristic /free zone/ ¡­.


    Sara: ¡°What is?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Ah ¡­. nothing lets eat.¡±


    Ari : ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Ari looked at her own breasts and was a bit down. Argh ¡­. don''t compare them to that monstrous size. These are  inhuman ¡­. okay she is a demihuman and the waitress too. But still ¡­. all the waitresses here had rather large bust sizes. Now that I took a look around. Sheepgirls, cowgirls, some human ones too. From C to can''t be described ¡­. Is this a hooter''s variant of another world ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Oh, this is quite good.¡±


    Sara: ¡°It''s the best in town~¡±


    Ari: ¡°This Meat is tasty~ More then the palace kitchens~¡±


    Sara: ¡°Haha, shall I tell them that~¡±


    Ari: ¡°Ah ¡­. p-pleaes don''t.¡±


    The meat had an rich and smooth flavor. It in itself was crisp outside and juicy inside. Aww, this is really good. The Ale was so-so, not much better then a cheap stale beer. I really miss germane beer ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°*sigh* ¡­.¡±


    Sara: ¡°Something wrong?¡±


    Ari: ¡°?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°No, nothing. Just remembering something about my home. It''s okay, don''t worry too much.¡±


    Sara: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    I didn''t think much of it. But still, I miss home. My flat, my lifestyle and the drinks, sweets and foods that were associated with it. I wonder if my mother and father noticed that I am gone. I am living alone ¡­. not always answering the phone, never calling back on missed calls. So probably around 12 days aren''t enough to call me /missing/. At the moment from the summoning I was on holiday leave. Christmas happened a few days before I found myself here. Most likely police already opened up my doors, because the human resources secretary couldn''t get a hold of me. Missing workdays without prior notice ¡­. wasn''t my style.


    Jacky: ¡°Ha ¡­ It''s alright. Let''s eat and drink to the fullest~¡±


    Ari: ¡°Y-yes!¡±


    Sara: ¡°Yes~¡±


    There''s no gain in thinking about what''s gone. I need to focus on the here and now. ¡­. ¡­. I had set a password on my pc and my data ¡­. please don''t find anything weird. Hmm still, I need to actually see how long I am here. It''s spring like outside. Probably some small talk with Sara should clear me up on the side of seasons and time. Maybe later.

First one is 22 normpages worth [with spacing], the other half is already at 15 normpages .... Probably going to fuse these two sometime later. Will be biggest chapter yet ....*


    Chapter 7: ...Extension of the City strolling.


    After dinner was finished. Around 4 to 5 pm.


    <seriously need an watch here


    Finally outside of that hooter''s variant pub. Shortly before the atmosphere got a bit dense. When one waitress poured some ale over her clothes. Like ¡­. how Ari glared at me for no reasons. But she wouldn''t listen to my reason. So let''s keep strolling trough the city a bit more. I still have an objective. New clothes. More so then ever now. I need to replace this dangerously looking short dress. And we probably need some clothes for Ari and Sara too ¡­. these uniforms stand out way too much for my taste. Just being outside I spoke my mind to the two.


    Jacky: ¡°We should go find some clothing shop. Is there something around like that, close by?¡±


    Sara: ¡°Hmm. I get what you mean. I think there was one just a short walk from here, that''s selling clothes for fair prizes~¡±


    Ari: ¡°We aren''t going back?¡±


    Ari ¡­. we didn''t even get started! I want to explore till we drop~


    Jacky: ¡°Not even close to going back~¡±


    Sara: ¡°Yes~¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­. won''t it get late ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°That''s the point of going out to play, Ari. Just enjoy the time.¡±


    Sara: ¡°Right~ Jacky is sure knowledgeable about outdoor activity~¡±


    Not that much actually. I am more of an indoor person. As long as outdoor is described as socializing with people. Nature has me back a few times a year. But pub''s and such were never my forte. I want to experience some medieval like pub night~ People here need to have some fun too. As no one knows me, there''s nothing to lose~


    Ari: ¡° ¡­.  won''t we get into trouble?¡±


    Sara: ¡°If we''re back before sunrise it should be fine~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Hmm ¡­. maybe a little earlier then sunrise. I don''t know what''s planned for tomorrow.¡±


    Sara: ¡°Ah ¡­.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Okay~¡±


    Sorry Sara, but it''s probably better. We still should get that outdoor night flavor~ Let''s get going. I hope they sell normal clothes at that shop.


    After some walking without much window shopping. We made it to the clothing''s shop. Better to say, tailor shop. There were only a few dresses spread out on simple stick mannequins. A Old Lady was seated behind a counter, while reading a book. Business ¡­. doesn''t seem to strife.


    Sara: ¡°Hello there~ Can we check out the clothes in storage?¡±


    Old Lady: ¡° ¡­. sure go ahead. Know the way?¡±


    Sara: ¡°I will find there myself~¡±


    Storage? What''s up with that. Why aren''t they setting the clothes up for sale ¡­. are they that bad ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Sara: ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Ari: ¡°?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Isn''t it normal to lay out what is for sale?¡±


    Sara: ¡°Ah that. How to explain. Hmm, better security?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Oh so it''s that.¡±


    That''s logical. It does seem easy to steal something from a shop filled with things. If someone directs the attention, while someone else steals. So to prevent that, most wares aren''t out? A bit of a bummer to window shoppers. But this shop doesn''t even care to clean the glass window enough to be see trough. It''s rather dim lit in here.


    Sara: ¡°Follow me~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Right.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Yes.¡±


    Whoa. What''s up with this. Behind a door was a room filled with the same mannequins. Every mannequin wore something different. There were dresses, costume like things, normal street wear for men, work wear for both genders, some risky outfits and many more kinds of kinky stuff.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Whoa ¡­.¡±


    Sara: ¡°Great isn''t?¡±


    What was more shocking? The amount of different styles. That the room was triple the size of the other. Or the 10 or so women browsing in here already.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. maybe I should leave ¡­.¡±


    Sara: ¡°Oh, that''s right ¡­. I forgot.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Why? Didn''t we come here to buy you a new dress?¡±


    ¡­. I am fine with buying something here. But a good portion of the women here. Were either undressing, trying out different attire or walking around with just underwear. It was that.


    A female only shop ¡­. the male warez, most likely for that kind. For the woman that wants to dress as a man or manly. I planned to do so ¡­. as I am male deep inside. Dresses are uncomfortable ¡­.


    Ari: ¡°Ah ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Even Ari got it. I think it will be best, if you just get me something. Less frilly and dress like.¡±


    Sara: ¡°Hmm ¡­.¡±


    Hey. Sara was just shoving me further in. Okay, okay. I get it.


    Jacky: ¡°Fine ¡­. let''s get this over with.¡±


    Sara: ¡°It will work out~ No one knows~¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    We got some eyes on us. As we made a small commotion while getting inside. But interest on our persona did fall immediately again. Nothing to see here of interest. Except some noisy young women~


    Jacky: ¡°I will browse trough what is offered there.¡±


    Sara: ¡°Going to search for some cute underwear~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Please ¡­. search for yourself only. For that matter, get yourself some normal street wear too.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Street wear?¡±


    Sara: ¡°Ohh, that''s right. It would be better without these uniforms.¡±


    Ari: ¡°I-i like them ¡­.¡±


    My hand was patting Ari''s head. What made her focus on me instantly.


    Jacky: ¡°I don''t dislike them Ari. But they are too flashy and unusual. So search for something that you like.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­. what I like ¡­.¡±


    Sara: ¡°Just come with me Ari~¡±


    Ari: ¡°Ah ¡­ no. I will stay with master.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°It''s Jacky now.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­. Jacky ¡­.¡±


    Remember that already Ari. It''s going to get me into trouble. At least you aren''t using [Hero] in public. Even for a slave ¡­. what were you taught by the ones bringing you up.


    Jacky: ¡°Just come here Ari. We will look trough the clothes, that are over there.¡±


    I pointed to an area with more practical looking stuff. A good portion was of the manly looking kind. But there were some cute ones mixed in too. Getting closer to it was some kind of challenge.


    Jacky: ¡°Like a maze ¡­.¡±


    Ari: ¡°We could have gone straight to it?¡±


    Yes, now your full of common sense. Get it, I am dodging the ones that are browsing here. I may want to ogle them, but what would you think of that. I would want them gone from the shop ¡­. So I will avert my mind and eyes. That is what I wanted to do at least.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    DON''T pick up something you dropped in that manner! Before me in the passage was a young woman picking up some clothes. With everything clearly visible. As in, all natural nude style. It was a nice sight. Her curves were just right. A nice well toned behind~ Some juicy but not fat thighs. Hair trimmed away, but leaving a small triangle out above her clitoris. Don''t finish now ¡­.


    Female Nudist: ¡°Hello there~ How can I be of help?¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Female Nudist: ¡°Is something wrong?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°N-nothing. We just wanted to pass through here ¡­.¡±


    Oh god. I was a bit distracted there ¡­. Her face is really pretty too. Kind blue eyes, full red lips, brown short hair ¡­. Her photos would sell really well ¡­.


    Female Nudist: ¡°Ah,sorry. Please go on. If you got any trouble, just call me.¡±


    She pointed with one of her fingers at a well formed breast. I would have noticed it before ¡­. but checking that didn''t happen. A small pin was located at her right nipple. In letters not known to me something was written on it. Yes, a perverted shop clerk was spotted.


    Female Nudist Clerk: ¡°Call me if you want an opinion~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Sure.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Okay. Is it just me, or am I really attracting perverts? Where am I in that ranking ¡­. Ah no good. Let''s just try on something.


    Ari: ¡°Is that normal?¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. don''t point Ari. Just don''t ¡­.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Skimming through the area full of mannequins. I found a variety of clothes that would suit my taste. Trousers, mostly leather ones. Blouses, non-frilly. Some kind of textile jacket, which was held in an grass green. I even found a hat, with a feather sticking on it. What was that called again? Barret? Berret? Berit?


    Doesn''t really matter. It''s probably named differently here anyways.


    Jacky: ¡°I will try these on.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­. isn''t that for males ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°It''s both gender legit. And I dislike wearing dresses.¡±


    Ari: ¡°But master is looking good in a dress ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Ha ¡­. Jacky it is still.¡±


    Making puppy eyes for apologizing is getting old Ari. That is loosing effectiveness, the more you use it. And your way to old for it to have an effect. How old are you in your mind, 7?


    Jacky: ¡°Ari. Just remember it.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­. would I look good in male clothing ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Hmm.¡±


    Ari in trousers. I averted my face from her.


    Jacky: ¡°Probably.¡±


    Oh god. Why did I imagine her in a butlers uniform. Dressed up in black, with an white shirt. It would fit to her image ¡­. if her personalty were a bit more refined. Worse, I imagined me undressing her ¡­. while fighting back a bit now.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. don''t take a uniform like set.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Yes?¡±


    I will need to pet her. Or I am going crazy tonight ¡­.


    A few minutes after changing.


    Jacky: ¡°Hmm. Looks decent.¡±


    I wore a light green leather trouser. That textile jacket I had in my hands from before. It was more practical then I had thought. There were pockets inside and outside, cleverly hidden with needle work. The size of the jacket was a bit to large. Under it I had a simple white blouse, I just picked the one that was simple in design. As last part I had taken a liking to that hat with a feather on it. The green color matched well to the others.


    Jacky: ¡°How much is this ¡­.¡±


    Money wise I hoped that there were labels somewhere. But nothing of the sort was attached. I couldn''t even ask Sara, that I had spotted a few rows away from me. Should I ask that clerk ¡­.


    Ari: ¡°Ma- ¡­  J-jacky ¡­. is this good?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Wow, were did you find that?¡±


    Ari: ¡°Down there ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°And yes, it''s nice. Suit''s you really well.¡±


    Ari just found something unique. An Overall looking one piece. Kind of like a jumpsuit. But more baggy, with one large pocket on the left side. I wonder for what that is designed. Her tail is visible, so there was already a hole for that.


    Jacky: ¡°Ari, can you turn slowly one time please?¡±


    Ari: ¡°Yes!¡±


    Ari happily showed of what she found. Yeah that isn''t bad at all. I kind of want to smear some oil on her face now. And give her a wrench~ Ohh, I need a camera!


    Jacky: ¡°We will take that. If you like it.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Does it look nice?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°I wouldn''t say my previous answer, if it weren''t so~¡±


    Ari: ¡°Hehe~¡±


    *Pat Pat* Petting Ari while dressing up in different clothes. Has an all new vibe~ I somehow can understand cosplayers now. The imagination certainly runs freely~


    I kind of want one of these too ¡­. Guess I will just hop into Ari''s~ While she''s still inside~ It''s baggy, so it will workout somehow. Ari really seems to like being subjected to intense hugging~


    Sara: ¡°Hey you two. Don''t go off somewhere strange~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Sara you''re to loud. Hmm, found something good too.¡±


    Sara: ¡°Thanks. But what''s with the outfit you two chose ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°It''s bad?¡±


    Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators!Sara: ¡°Not exactly. But Jacky really looks more like a man now. With shorter hair, one couldn''t exactly decided what you are ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Perfect then~¡±


    I probably would change for an horse jockey or pilot outfit although. Now that Ari is looking like that. Hehe~


    This is becoming more of an dress up game, then shopping for street wear. Sara''s choice was a long one piece dress. Which had a a rip from the bottom too her hip. Which got narrower, the further it went up. It was shoulder and back free. Naturally in a black color~ Looking at it ¡­. isn''t that too expensive?


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. can we afford all this ¡­.¡±


    Sara: ¡°It should work out. Worst comes worst, I will manage it.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Sara can do without ¡­.¡±


    Ari, 10 Points cuteness bonus earned. You would rather keep the outfit I praised you in. Then to allow a long term friend to have her''s? That''s greedy, but somehow just too cute~ Come here~


    Ari: ¡°Wha, master!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°It''s Jacky ¡­. you''re ruining it ¡­.¡±


    Ari: ¡°S-sorry ¡­.¡±


    I just wanted to hug her a bit. Maybe molesting her ear~ Why can''t she keep remembering that it''s not master outside of the palace ¡­. That''s such a bummer ¡­.


    Sara: ¡°Let''s go buy these. Before some people are starting to swarm you two~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Right.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    I saw what she meant. This room is filled with perverts. Where the clerk is maybe the least to worry about. Better to take this somewhere else ¡­. We stepped into the room with the old lady on the counter again. Time to pay for these clothes. Moving towards her, Sara stopped me.


    Sara: ¡°Let me do the talk~¡±


    Sure confident. I hope you know what to do. I just let Sara go first.


    Sara: ¡°We would like to buy these. 10 silver coins should be alright~¡±


    Old Lady: ¡°So do you? I say that it amounts to at least 30 silver coins. Pay up~¡±


    Sara: ¡°W-WHAT¡±


    Old Lady: ¡°31 silver coins then~ Don''t waste my time.¡±


    ¡­. that''s it. Don''t look at me with an /i am sorry/ after all what you said ¡­. Gosh, perverts and idiots. I am surround by nothing else!


    Jacky: ¡°31 silver coins are too much. Cut it cheaper.¡±


    Old Lady: ¡°Oh, why should I? That dress is 11 silver coins alone.¡±


    Pointing at Sara''s chosen street wear. The Old Lady just smiled confidently. While leaning back in her chair, still reading her book.


    Jacky: ¡°You wont cut us a discount?¡±


    Old Lady: ¡°Do I look like that?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Then how about this.¡±


    I moved to the counter and put the burned dress down on it.


    Even if it is burned. The fabric is smooth and looks expensive.


    Old Lady: ¡°Hmm, 2 silver coins.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. that''s just wrong!¡±


    Old Lady: ¡°This is damaged. Even badly so~¡±


    That Old Lady just took a short glance and destroyed my hoeps. Before I could follow up with an argument. Sara came close to me. Whispering into my ear.


    Sara: ¡°Use some fire , we will make a run for it.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Sara. For one, I don''t steal. And if I wanted too. No whispering around while having the soon to be stolen from close by ¡­.


    Old Lady: ¡°So so~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°We''re not doing that.¡±


    I hit Sara on the head. Don''t cry, it''s fully your own fault. I am going to make you run around the palace tomorrow. With me on your back~ While holding your breasts, so that they aren''t in the way~


    Old Lady: ¡°Hmm, fire. Was that flame magic in the sky your doing?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Yes.¡±


    Wait I can use this can''t I? Think hard.


    Old Lady: ¡°I heard of it. Some street performance that was. With fire magic and a dress burning somewhat. So you three are them.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°This dress is clearly more worth then 2 silver coins. It''s atleast worth 40.¡±


    Old Lady: ¡°40! ARE YOU CRAZY CHILD! Even non-damaged this wouldn''t be more worth then 20 silver coins!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°But it is, damaged. That is the point.¡±


    Old Lady: ¡° ¡­. ¡­. ¡­ ¡­ so you say ¡­.¡±


    Just standing there and waiting. I have time Old Lady. This now works in my favor. You should never have mentioned our performance. And then react that shocked.


    Old Lady: ¡°How comes you''re so sure of it. Just a moment ago, this was nothing of worth to you~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Because it''s now for you.¡±


    Old Lady: ¡°Hahaha! I seldom hear such a lie that the liar is so convinced of!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°But isn''t this the burned dress. The one and only that so many people saw me wearing. There exists not a second one. Surely some people are going to be willing to pay a grand amount for it.¡±


    The Old Lady leant forward. Finally put the book down, which she still was reading up to now. And looking me straight into the eyes.


    Old Lady: ¡°So you do have more brain, then that scarecrow there. Let me tell you something. I will buy your burnt dress here. But only under two conditions~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°That would be?¡±


    Old Lady: ¡°First. If not sold in 10 days, I will give it back to you. You will owe me 40 silver coins then. Second! You will sign a paper stating that this is truly what it is said to be~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°I am alright with these conditions. But she will read through what will be signed.¡±


    I moved to the stunned Sara. Pushed her to the counter. Just grinning madly watching her go /uhh yes ¡­./ with her facial expression. Having an fake smile plastered on her face. I hope that you can understand formal business language too Sara. I will shove any extra claims onto you~


    Old Lady: ¡°Hmm, wait a moment. I will write it up nice and easy to understand~¡±


    Sara: ¡°Y-yes ¡­.¡±


    Ari, what do my tired eyes see there. Are you pitying the goddess Sara~ She said /let me do it/ worst comes worst, it''s slavery for her~ Ah wait.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. add Sara as assurance for all possible extra charges. That might come up, duo late payment and such~¡±


    Old Lady: ¡°Hmm, sure sure~ But I won''t go as far as to trick you~¡±


    Sara: ¡° ¡­. assurance ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Just read carefully Sara~¡±


    Sara: ¡°Ugh ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°About checking the 10 days thing. We will come over when it''s time~¡±


    Old Lady: ¡°Sure~ But I can find you anyways~¡±


    After the Old Lady finished writing up the contract. Sara double and triple checked it. With an slight hesitation she handed it too me.


    Sara: ¡°It''s just what was said.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Okay, then here.¡±


    Old Lady: ¡°Hmm? What are these signs for? Still the thumb print is enough. So that sets this problem.¡±


    ¡­. Damn , force of habit. I wrote down my name. My full one to both ¡­. I kind of want that paper back. But it''s already sacked ¡­. literally. Won''t be a problem. No one can read that. Hopefully ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°So we''re good to go. Bye Miss Shop Owner, have an good evening.¡±


    Old Lady: ¡°HoHo~ I wish you an good evening too. See you next time~¡±


    I went into the motion to leave. Just to go back and grab Ari''s hand.


    Jacky: ¡°Sara, come we are leaving. Better be ready for that punishment.¡±


    Sara: ¡° ¡­. I didn''t do anything wrong!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Sure. Then you don''t have anything to fear~ Do you?¡±


    Sara: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Bad Sara~¡±


    Sara: ¡° ¡­. that''s not funny ¡­.¡±


    Being outside in a safe distance, I finaly could relax again. Ha~


    Jacky: ¡°Ari get on my eyes level, pleaes~¡±


    Ari: ¡°I-i didn''t do anything wrong!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Just do it~¡±


    Ari: ¡°Y-yes ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°There~ There, good girl Ari is more clever then Sara~¡±


    Hehe~ Hugging and petting. I needed that badly. It''s soothing for my heart, after all nothing beats this. Puh~ Feeling better already.


    Ari: ¡°I-i am not a kid ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°So you don''t want to hug?¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­. I do want to hug ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Then how about a kiss for Ari~¡±


    Female Kid 3: ¡°NOOOOOOOO!! Don''t dirty Sister you beast!¡±


    That kid came out of nowhere and pushed Ari away with a tackle attack. Falling down to the ground head first, the kid began to cry ¡­. While still laying down.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Sara: ¡° What ¡­.¡±


    Why? And what''s with that foul mouth! Mother goose I found your missing black swan. People were already starting to look towards us ¡­. this is bad.


    Sara: ¡° ¡­. come don''t cry. It''s alright.¡±


    Female Kid 3: ¡°Don''t talk to me dirty pig! Leave me and my sister alone! Ugly [Demon] pig!¡±


    *slap*


    Sara just went from motherly love, too berseker mode. The kid was already in an pose similar to push ups. When Sara slapped her on the face. Immediately afterward her face greeted the ground again. The girl made an *uuh* sound while crying. That must hurt ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. don''t hit her ¡­.¡±


    Sara: ¡°DID YOU HEAR THAT?¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­. Sara ¡­. is sad.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Don''t hit kids. That won''t teach them anything ¡­.¡±


    The culprit of that surprise tackle attack. A verbal badmouthing and the attention magnet for all the people around. Was getting up now.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. let me help you ¡­.¡±


    Female Kid 3: ¡°WHA! SISTER!!¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. it''s alright, d-don''t cry.¡±


    Female Kid 3: ¡°THAT UGLY ONE HIT ME!!¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Sara was close to slapping her again. Ari just watched it calmly. She didn''t mind her being attacked ¡­. You have a good heart Ari. Or are you just nice to kids?


    Female Kid 3: ¡°DONT GO AWAY AGAIN!! WHAHAHA!¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Oh, this is bad. In many terms. Does that kid know this body previous owner ¡­. Sister ¡­. ugh, I feel like being punched in the gut from these words ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Don''t cry. I-it''s okay ¡­.. Sister had just something important to do ¡­.¡±


    Female Kid 3: ¡° ¡­. *sniff* ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°There, good girl~ Calm down.¡±


    Hah ¡­. I want to run away. Nothing good can come from this. This is worst case. After being assassinated, losing the ones I call friends or love. That statement is so without power too ¡­. /Sister had something important to do. She played around all day~/ this kid should be the best to know that. She watched me do that performance ¡­. did she follow me from there on ¡­. Good work mind~ Couldn''t come up with something better?


    Female Kid 3: ¡° ¡­. why is Sister not ¡­. not coming home ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Ah, that ¡­.¡±


    Female Kid 3: ¡° ¡­. hates me ¡­.?¡±


    Whoa stop with the extreme puppy eyes. Are you planning on killing me with guilt ¡­. That upturned face while hugging me ¡­. just like my little brother when I leave from visiting family ¡­. asking when I come again to play ¡­. Urgh!


    Jacky: ¡°I ¡­. don''t hate you. Just ¡­. don''t insult my friends ¡­.¡±


    Female Kid 3: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°I wanted to come ¡­. surprise you today. Seems like you found out~ Hehe~¡±


    Female Kid 3: ¡° ¡­. that''s why Sister ¡­. wears this kind of thing ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Yes~ See, so be a good girl.¡±


    Female Kid 3: ¡°Yes Sister!¡±


    Snot faced and smiling ¡­. uwah stop rubbing it onto me. What did I do to deserve this luck. I shall conduct imminent research of my evil doings ¡­. But at least she''s not visible hurt. Tough little girl ¡­ with an lose mouth. I can''t imagine what our mother is like. You even have a different hair color then this body ¡­. Round shining hazelnut brown eyes, the same color as her hair. A doll like face ¡­. covered in dirt, snoot and some tears. Such a small statue, not even half my height. Kneeling down to her, she just reaches up to my chest. I took her Sister away ¡­. even if she volunteered, what did that person think. Leaving behind her loved ones ¡­. I don''t want to ¡­. but I think I need to visit her home ¡­.

 Chapter 7: ...Extension of the City strolling. Part 2.

    *Second Part of Chapter 7. I enjoyed writing it. But i never, ever will write something like that last part again. It''s messy somehow .... i can''t rhyme. PS: Editing is weak in this one. If you find something, pleaes point it out. I am all open~ I edited it 2 hours alone .... couldn''t decided. PPS: I will edit this in a day or two another time. But first .... chapter 8 and 9.*


    Chapter 7: ...Extension of the City strolling. Part 2.


    Female Kid 3: ¡°Let''s go Sister! Everyone will be so glad!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Y-yes ¡­.¡±


    She started to drag me by pulling my arm. Ha ¡­. everyone ¡­.


    Ari and Sara were following us. From time to time, that Kid glared at the two of them. She was going faster, the closer they came to us. Just to keep the distance from the start.


    I will need to talk with your mother ¡­. about a lot.


    After being dragged around the city''s  main streets. We slowly came closer to what looked like an defensive wall. I had already seen it from the palace. The city was built up in multiple layers of defense. Ring''s in ring''s.


    -insert map style of city here-


    Close to this defensive wall we came to an halt. There were many houses around here. Before one particular big one we came to be pulled in.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Female Kid 3: ¡°Sister is finally home again~ Come~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Yeah.¡±


    Female Kid 3: ¡° ¡­. you don''t want too ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Aw, no. Sister is just so happy to be home again, you see. So ¡­.. so it''s kind of weird.¡±


    The pull increased and I was indoor in no time. The kid closed the door, before Ari and Sara could enter.


    Jacky: ¡°Let my friends enter ¡­.. Sister will be sad, if your a mean girl.¡±


    Female Kid 3: ¡° ¡­. b-but ¡­.¡±


    Reluctant she opened the door again. I waved to the two and commanded them in my mind ''come join me in this hell''. While they came in I heard footsteps and voices coming closer.


    Mass of Kids: ¡°SISTER!!!!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°!¡±


    HELP! I plead to the two that were on the verge of running away from this house, with just my eyes! Don''t leave me here alone! Rescue me!


    A mass of about, 10 or so, kids attacked me. I was being pushed down on the ground, while they hugged and touched me. Mostly crying, it was a touching re-union. Atleast for bystanders! I am dieing here, help me you two!


    Ari: ¡° ¡­. that''s a bit much ¡­.¡±


    Yes, Ari my angelic catgirl. Tell them! I can barely see the rays of sunlight anymore!


    Mass of Kids: ¡°AH!¡±


    Some male Kid: ¡°GET THE OLD SISTER! A BEAST!¡±


    They started to run off like little animals that got scared. Into every direction that was available kids were escaping.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Sara: ¡°Whoa ¡­.¡±


    Female Kid 3: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Ari: ¡°S-sorry, this is Ari''s fault ¡­.¡±


    Female Kid 3: ¡°RIGHT! Beasts shouldn''t come into our home!¡±


    Female Kid 3: ¡°Aua! Why did you hit me Sister!¡±


    I just stared at her. You know exactly why. Ups ¡­. I did hit her not that hard. But even so, hitting her on the head doesn''t solve the issue ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°*sigh* Let''s go and gather them all up. Is mom here too?¡±


    Female Kid 3: ¡°Mom? Do you mean Old Sister?¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Wait a minute. Old Sister? Not /Big Sister/, is your mother that kind of woman who wants to be called ¡­. No, that can''t be. Sister ¡­.


    Sara: ¡°Ah! I get it!¡±


    Female Kid 3: ¡°?¡±


    Sara: ¡°Old Sister, is a Sister right?¡±


    Feamle Kid 3: ¡°Yes ¡­.¡±


    Enlighten me Sara. That''s the same meaning alltogether!


    Proudly with an sheepishly smile Sara was waveing with her hand. I get it ¡­ let me stand up first. I moved to Sara and she whispered the light of knowledge into my ear. Truly, that was unexpected.


    Sara: ¡°It''s that you know. A Orphanage. Sisters of the Church~ You''re one too~ Hehe~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Ah ¡­.¡±


    That explains a lot. I already tought that my new motherly figure here ¡­. had a slight problem. I should have noticed. There''s no way a single woman can have this many children ¡­ close to the same ages. So that''s it. Sister is a Sister of the Church, she was a temple priestess. That was more simple then I thought. I can finally relax a bit again ¡­.


    Middleaged Woman: ¡°Oh. By the gods!!¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    What''s with that greeting. Sara just stood back close to the door again, smiling here ass off. Yes, I will still punish her~


    Middleage Woman: ¡° ¡­. Maya, be so kind, go get everyone. It''s almost time for dinner.¡±


    Maya: ¡°Right~ Sister will eat with us~¡±


    Middleaged Woman: ¡°Y-yes.¡±


    After that kid finally left. The one before me, was most likely that Old Sister. Somehow cruel ¡­. she didn''t look that old to me. A warm smile, even if it seemed a bit forced. She wore something like a nun''s outfit. Her hair was fully covered up by her headgear, but I could see that she had blonde hair from her eyebrows. Even if I dislike dresses, that outfit seemed good. Atleast for relaxing. It was rather baggy. Most importantly not overly decorated or frilled. Hmm~


    Old Sister (M. Woman): ¡°Uhmm ¡­. let''s talk in the kitchen.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°R-right.¡±


    Time for my skills to shine. I need to act normal. Atleast as much as possible! ¡­. how do I act normaly.


    After getting to the kitchen, we three were being asked to take a seat.


    Old Sister: ¡°So it was true ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. oh ¡­. yes. I am sorry ¡­.¡±


    Plan failed. Escape initation not possible. Naturally, if you cared for someone. You would hear at least rumors ¡­. of what happened. I was asked multiple things from the Old Sister. She wasn''t angry at me, but still sad. I faithfully answered, our conversation felt like an eternity.


    Old Sister: ¡°But I am glad. The [Hero] is such a kind person.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Ah, yes ¡­.¡±


    Old Sister: ¡°Truly Evena will be happy to watch over your actions.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Pleaes. Don''t watch over my actions ¡­. Evena, so I finally learned the name of this bodys previous owner. I let out a good sigh.


    Old Sister: ¡°Do you ¡­. want to know more about her?¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. yes. I am truly sorry ¡­.¡±


    Old Sister: ¡°Don''t be. It was god''s guidance and the will of hers. I''m sure that the [Hero] will guide the way for humanity.¡±


    After that a sermon of godly love continued. From time to time, information of Evena sickered into it. Evena Leafe, 20 years old, unmarried, no family, orphanged at the age of 4. She had lost the ability to speak, duo losing her parents. And was given this name by the one , preaching about god''s love, before me. After some years, she opened up to everyone at the orphange. Began to speak, began to learn. And eneded up as faithful temple priestess, in service of god.


    Old Sister: ¡°Evena always visited us. Helping us out when we were in need of an hand. Playing with the kids. Teaching them. And loving them like a big sister.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°I will come over from time to time. Pleaes tell me if you have any trouble.¡±


    Old Sister: ¡°Ha~ No worrys. I can manage~ But I would be glad to have you to play with the kids a bit. They''re missing her.¡±


    I wanted to ask more. But the Old Sister interupted me with an smile. I saw why, some kids got close to us. But it seems they didn''t hear what we talked about. Hunger stricen eyes were latched onto me. I am no food ¡­.


    Some Kids: ¡°SISTER COOK~¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. ah, yes.¡±


    Old Sister: ¡°I''m sorry to trouble you. Pleaes help out.¡±


    With a bit of an trouble look the Old Sister showed me to the area of the fireplace. There was already a bunch of veggies washed there. A large pot. Some cooking utensils. And boney meat~ Ah, soup is planned for today. A glance came from the Old Sister /Can you cook?/ ¡­. uh, I am the [Hero]. But luckily, I am quite a good housewife. Haha~ I need to make my food myself. So I learned it in pursue of tastyness. I didn''t want to life of instant noodles or fast food forever.


    Jacky: ¡°I will carve the meat of the bone. Is that alright?¡±


    Old Sister: ¡°Yes, please do so.¡±


    Looking at Sara and Ari ¡­. yeah. No chance that these two can help out, without making it just more work for me. The kid''s were gone again. They saw Ari and ran off. Seriously, does she look that scary ¡­. or is it a game of sorts?


    Old Sister: ¡°I will light the fire up.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Oh, sure.¡±


    I watched the Old Sister kneeling. And trying to light the wood. It was a warm image, even without the fire. Oh, wait ¡­


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. let me do it.¡±


    Old Sister: ¡°Does the [Hero] know how?¡±


    I just made a flame on my finger tip. The Old Sister clapped her hands in recognicen to it. She was trying to lighten up the firewood, with an crude lighter. What just glimmed ¡­.


    Old Sister: ¡°This is wonderful, the [Hero] sure is a salvation~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Pleaes ¡­. don''t mention it. And call me like you would Evena. The kid''s will hear us.¡±


    Old Sister: ¡°Oh, right.¡±


    I lit the firewood with a single thought. Using [Mana] is getting easyer the more I do it. I don''t even need to concentrate that hard anymore. The fire too just lits up, changes shape and flys to where it is aimed at. But I can''t say that an [Hero] is just a better lighter ¡­. at least I am more of an performer.


    After a bit of time in the kitchen.


    Ari: ¡°Hmm, smells good~¡±


    Sara: ¡°Sure does~ I am kind of getting hungry~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Yes I get it. But no tasteing before anyone else.¡±


    I hit Sara on the head with a exagerated choping movement of my hand. There was no force in it. So her /Ughh/ moaning was just plain acting. Get on with it, you aren''t kids. But I had other problems at hand now. We already prepared the large amount of tableware and set it up at the dinning room. Old Sister called the kids ¡­. but.


    Kid''s voiced entangeld: ¡°...BEAST!¡± ¡°WAH!¡± ¡°She ¡­.¡± ¡°MY FOOD!¡± ¡°RUN!¡± ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Some more were in there. But they couldn''t reach my ear, because others toopled it with their loud mouths.


    Old Sister: ¡°SILENCE!! TIME TO EAT!¡±


    Everyone: ¡°!¡±


    All the kids, Ari, Sara and Me too. Were seated in a flash, not a sound was heard. A killing intent gushed out from Old Sister. She just stood there still with an apron on her, the kettle was griped.  So disorder at dinner time ¡­. was a death sentence. That kind heartwarming person, vanished for that moment alone.


    Old Sister: ¡°So Sister Evena will be the first~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Y-yes ¡­ thank you.¡±


    I wanted to start to eat immediately. But killing intent gushed out while Old Sister smiled. Uhh ¡­. okay I get it. Waiting till everyone got theirs. Stop that ¡­. I feel like running. I''m not good with table manners ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Puh~¡±


    Ahh that was good. Even better then everything else I had eaten up to now. The taste was simple but so good. Just a soup with veggies and meat. The everyone started to clean up the table. Washing the dishes even Ari and Sara were helpful now. They didn''t deer to go near Ari. So Sara was getting the dirty tableware from them, while Ari washed it.


    Jacky: ¡°What is up with the kids. They all are so scared because of Ari. And ¡­. rather bad mouthing her.¡±


    Old Sister: ¡°Ah, that ¡­. Evena is at fault here.¡±


    Huh? Ah wait, you mean the true Evena. Not me. What did she do to get them like that ¡­.


    Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.


    Old Sister: ¡°You know. It''s like that. The first time a demihuman came over to do work for us. She was so scared that man, because of his rough looking build. So she ¡­. kind of started to fear and hate them.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Ah ¡­.¡±


    To still have that kind of fear from her childhood ¡­. at an age of 20. Even spreading that fear to other kids. More then a smiling saint, I envision Envena as a modern girl ¡­. sitting on a pc hate posting at an forum. Ugh ¡­.


    We finished cleaning up rahter fast. Time for action.


    I will educate all of you in the greatness of a demihuman, especially that of a catgirl! Haha~


    Jacky: ¡°Everyone gather at the dinning room, pleaes~ I want to tell you something.¡±


    With a lot of enthausmuss the mass of kids swarmed past me. Some grabbed my arms and dragged me into the dinner room. Okay, I get it.


    Jacky: ¡°Ehem ¡­. So, let me be frank with you. I changed.¡±


    Everyone was staring at me. Uhh ¡­ okay relax. You can do this.


    Jacky: ¡°So what I meant is ¡­. I don''t fear someone that is different then me anymore! Ari come here.¡±


    Ari: ¡°Yes?¡±


    The sight was pinned on Ari. I could already see some kids trying to think about running, others whispering around.


    Jacky: ¡°So does this one look dangerous, in any kind?¡±


    Ari: ¡°Ah.. nhh... no.. wait! ..Ah...¡±


    I started to rub her head and under her chin. With my slender fingers. Ari was kind of shy when stared at by strangers. She tried to resits the urge to just go ahead and puurr. Come on, be more cat like. Just let it go. These kids need to be educated, you''re by no means dangerous.


    Ari: ¡°Ahh...hahahhha ¡­.¡±


    Ari was a bit shivering, her tail clearly showed shivering too and was standing straight up. Okay, that''s enough.


    Jacky: ¡°See, she''s really tame. You don''t need to fear Ari.¡±


    Maya: ¡° ¡­. she''s dirty ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Then that makes me dirty too. I like petting her head, rubbing below her chin or tickling her sides~ Hugging Ari is good for ones heart too~¡±


    I hugged Ari tighly and showed a relaxed smile. Puurrrrrr bliss. How could anyone see her with fear~


    Maya: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Come pet her too. It''s nothing bad, she won''t bite you or anything.¡±


    Maya: ¡°BUT OTHERS WILL HURT US!¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. see, fear isn''t good for you. Fear makes you lonely and sad. You still need to have respect for someone that is strong. For some stranger you should be always wary and show respect too. Being fearful will make your Sister sad.¡±


    After I said that. One of the female kid''s came close to Ari. I made an glance that asked Ari /just kneel down a bit/, she understood and smiled at the kid. While petting the head of Ari, the kid began to be really engrossed in it.


    Female Kid 4: ¡°Whoa, these Ears are so fluffy~¡±


    Female Kid 5: ¡° ¡­. really, let me feel.¡±


    Male Kid 1: ¡°Hahaha~ Her Arm''s are so thin. I am much stronger!¡±


    Comments like these were given while kid''s swarmed Ari. I finally recognized that one male kid too. That laughter ¡­.


    Suddenly it started to get dire ¡­.


    Mass of Kids: ¡°No, I want to touch her ears now!¡± ¡°Let me!¡± ¡°I''m the next!¡±


    Ahh no good. Uhmm ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Hey slow down kids. There''s enough time for you to pet Ari. Don''t make her feel uncomfortable.¡±


    The kids now dispersed a bit from Ari. Still 5 where all over here ¡­. Some kids now even went as far as to go to Sara. Asking her to lift them up and such. A soo sweet.


    Male Kid 1: ¡°ATTACK!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Huh Haaahahaahahaaaahhhhaahaah! St-aaoapap!¡±


    How did it come to this. One of the kids began to attack me with tickling. Others saw it and it became an all out war. Sara tickled the one that she had lifted. She was attacked by multiple kids then. Layn down on the floor, crying of laughter. Ari smile and said ''Pleaes don''t'' with an force smile. Makeing the kids attack her too. She fast was down and out of the fight. They were focusing they''r attack on her ears and tail. I got the worst fate of all. From the exact amount of 14 kids. Half of it were stuck to me.


    Jack: ¡°Ssaaattppp!¡±


    I couldn''t speak clearly anymore.  It wasn''t painful, but I was way more ticklish then I tought I would be. After a few minutes. Old Sister came to the rescue and said in a stern tone.


    Old Sister: ¡°If you tickle her too much, Evena might die~¡±


    Uhh ¡­ bad choice of words there. She herself found out her mistake fast. She nearly forgot that she already died. Standing there with dropped shoulders ¡­ Old Sister was cruelly attacked by 5 of the 7 that were clung to me. In that time they stopped tickling me. So I am glad for your sacrifice miss Old Siter~ Getting a hold of Maya and one boy ¡­. that clearly focused to much on the area of my breasts. Touching them out of ''accident'' from time to time. I was finally free. Tickling back was more fun then being tickled. So I advanced the campaign, RECLAIMATION OF ARI, in a flash. I need to lecture these kids on proper socializing someday ¡­. he''s like 9 or so. Probably it was an accident, but touching a woman there isn''t good without their consent! Now locking at him ¡­ isn''t that Male Kid 1?


    After end of the Reclamation of Ari War. Around 9 pm.


    The kids were really tired from the whole playing around. I myself over exerted myself, while reclaiming Ari. I got attacked while trying. And the one who reclaimed me ¡­ freed me. Was Ari in the end. Hehe, lost the fight. But won the war~ Now I was seated before the group of kids. And tried to teach them a bit more about moral, ethics and stuff. They absorbed the /even if they''re not human, don''t treat them badly/ and other phrases rather well. Some female kids were braiding up Ari''s short hair ¡­. randomly. So I think that shouldn''t be worried about anymore. Ari was now looking like an ¡­. misshapen punk ¡­. With her new clothes, her mess hair, the random and unprofessional braids. Ahh ¡­. I want a camera so badly. My mind doesn''t have enough capacity for all of this ¡­.


    Male Kid 1: ¡°Sister, do that magic trick again!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Hmm. I can''t do that same one again now. How about a story?¡±


    Like a herd of heyanas, everyone turned their heads into my direction. Hungry eyes were gleaming in the candle lit room. Old Sister was smiling with an clear intention.


    I won''t receive any help, if I back down now ¡­. Here we go.


    So how ¡­ oh yeah!


    Jacky: ¡°Okay. Listen well. This is a story of a Knight and a Princess.¡±


    While saying so. I held out my hands. Flame Strings piled up in my hand. I deeply concentrated and managed to make some crude puppets with it. A Knight like one, with armor and a string sword. A Princess one, in a string dress. No sound was heard from the audience that was engrossed in the string puppets. Okay, I can do this~ Just imagine the story in your head, while saying it out aloud.


    Jacky: ¡°The Knight and the Princess loved each other dearly. Each day they would meet up at the gardens there, before everyone one woke up being so early. The world was simple and no worry were there. Because what they feared, wouldn''t come over the walls they saw.¡±


    I created more flame strings. Formed them to an improvised Wall. All that on my hands and arms. It''s slowly getting cramped there. Hmm, Ari. Come here. I made head movements in Ari''s direction. Finally she sat down beside me. I floated the wall to Ari per order. And continued.


    Jacky: ¡°The wall was big. And sturdy and strong. The one feared couldn''t come.¡±


    A short string figure emerged from the wall on Ari''s hands. On the other side were the Knight and the Princess holding hands on a bench. I can be rather pure ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Each day came and ended the same. But Princess feared so much, the one on the other side with a hunch. He would come to steal me away. Please my dear Knight, stay with me forever to save my hide!¡±


    The short string figure grew.


    Jacky: ¡°Don''t worry princess, the Knight gallantly said. My sword is sharp and these walls are tall. No one shall harm your soul. Still the knight, in pure agony, went away to buy a sword. A new one, that was sharper too.¡±


    The short string figure grew and grew.


    Jacky: ¡°Oh knight, I missed you so. I couldn''t sleep a wink. Oh, princess it''s alright you see I''m here. If got a sword that only I can bear. I will protect you from all, regardless of it~¡±


    The short string figure grew bigger then the size of the wall.


    Jacky: ¡°Ah Knight so look, so look at the one! He came to take me away at once! The Knight in shambles watched the wall. The Monster stepped over it like a pebble with much ease.¡±


    Male Kid 1: ¡°Kill the Monster, Knight save the Princess!!¡±


    Everyone else: ¡°SHHH!!!¡±


    Male Kid 1: ¡° ¡­..¡±


    Jacky: ¡°The Monster without much effort. Grabbed the prince and laughed out loud. You pansy Knight in shining armor, can''t hold a candle to me! Just run away, hide in your house. I will eat, your princess, what a feast.¡±


    Everyone: ¡°!!!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°The Knight in anger lifted it''s sword. With glamor and pride it attacked it''s worth. But o wei, the sword was broken so fast. The Monster was hard and stronger to last. With mighty steps the Monster threaded, to crush the knight any moment now.¡±


    Female Kid 4: ¡° ¡­.nooooo ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°The Princess with tears in her eyes said aloud. Don''t fear my Knight, I won''t lose my love. This Monster wont ever bring us apart. The Knight laying on the ground groaned aloud. My love I am outmatched too much, I can''t bring it down with this sword of mine. What am I possible worth, without your life.¡±


    Everyone: ¡° ¡­..¡±


    Jacky: ¡°The Knight in Armor down for good. Watched the monster devour her a whole, the one he loved in a single gulp. With tears in his eyes he cursed the walls. If only he had seen it coming, it was to sad to wtiness. The wall was broken, ever so late. He glanced at the sight, behind it with regret. The feared on holding a doll. That was that he saw in his eyes. Just a child playing with mice. The sun cast a shadow over them twice. Losing sight through fear, was the end for these. Seeing the truth over the wall, the Princess gulped with ease. Still sitting on the same bench, as ever before. Not having moved a bit, an illusion it was. It was all in the mind of the fear stricken ones. There was never a wall to even begin with. So fear struck these two apart. Don''t now ever make me repeat. The one feared might just be, a friend in guise of a shadowy field. ¡±


    The wall vanished into smoke. And a short string figure playing with mice like dolls was more clearly revealed behind it. The room was silent. Whoa ¡­. did that work? I agonized myself over it, I laughed and grinned for them.


    After getting an amassing amount of applause and praise. The kids began to tell story¡¯s of their own. With me trying to recreate them with string puppets.


    Somehow this day ended. A Tea party, a performance, a outdoor meal, shopping, reunion, eating dinner and playing lots. I just couldn''t move anymore. Falling asleep on the floor, was the only think I could do now. Being given a blanket from the Old Sister, had a warm feeling to it. The kids sleeping on me, where all under that blanket too. I fall soundly asleep, thinking of the things I gained today. While thinking of the luck, that i don''t have cat ears. Ari had now most of them on her. Sorry~

 Chapter 8: Business merits~ Part 1.

    Info= <b>Spoiler</b> : <input type=''button'' value=''Show'' class=''spoilerButton''>*Still only finished editing the old chapter 7 Part 2, about halfway. I couldn''t muster up the power .... So many errors...  As i wanted to start writing down something new. Here is the first part of going more serious. It''s still kind of lighthearthed. Part 2 will finally start somestuff. Part 3 will hit later then. I need to make it in parts. Or i will get crazy. I tried to edit 40 pages at once (Chapter 7 [part 2] +Chapter 8 [part 1] together .... felt not good.), that wasn''t positive.*


    Chapter 8: Business merits~


    After waking up with some back pain on the still warm wooden floor. Too my surprising, no one was touching anywhere weird. Kids are still Kids, even if that one is a bit too kinky. Ha ¡­.


    Old Sister: ¡°Oh, you''re awake now~ Breakfast will be ready soon. Just hold out until then.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Ah yes, thank you. Uhm ¡­ I think I didn''t get your name ¡­.¡±


    Old Sister: ¡°Oh ¡­. we all had so much fun, I completely forgot. I am Klera Pebblewood, just Klera is fine.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Nice to meet you Klera~ I will be Evena for when I am around here. Just call me that.¡±


    Nodding Klera went to prepare the breakfast in the kitchen. From the sound and smell of food, the kids slowly began to wake up. After finally gaining my freedom of movement again. I settled down my aching back on a wooden chair. There was bread, stir-fried vegetables and some soup from yesterday. Rather healthy ¡­. I would have loved some sweet stuff. All in all it was a good time I had spent here, knowing that there are [Humans] worthy to fight for. I somehow felt more motivated, to actually try harder ¡­.


    I wondered how these kids winded up here ¡­. the world is a much harsher place. Then what is acted out in the palace interiors ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Bye~ Till next time. Sister will surely visit more often!¡±


    Sara: ¡°Bye~¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­.. bye ¡­¡±


    Hmm, Ari don''t get too attached to strange kids. They assaulted us literally yesterday! But I can really recognize that ¡­. it was a kind warmth.


    Jacky: ¡°Let''s go back!¡±


    Sara: ¡°Right~¡±


    Ari: ¡°Yes! We need to wash you master!¡±


    Don''t say it like I stink. Have some decency. I lightly pulled on Ari''s ears. She struggles so cute~


    Ari: ¡°W-why!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Just because~¡±


    Ari: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Sara: ¡°Haha!¡±


    Moving along the main street we were back to the palace guard''s house. After seeing us, he winked us trough. With an pained expression.


    Jacky: ¡°Shouldn''t he like check our permission, papers or something?¡±


    Sara: ¡°Now that you say it ¡­.¡±


    Ari: ¡°?¡±


    We separated on the inner palace area. The two of them went to get some hot water and towels for bathing time. I myself went to see Olward.


    Jacky: ¡°I wonder what''s up on today¡¯s schedule. I am a bit late ¡­.¡±


    After reaching Olward''s study. Before even knocking. He came running out of it. While looking all flustered. Ignoring my presence and nearly running into me ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Watch were you''re going Old Man.¡±


    Olward: ¡° ¡­. you ¡­. do you know what you did?!!?!!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Eh ¡­. stay out?¡±


    Olward: ¡° ¡­. you don''t remember ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°I do remember staying out, sleeping somewhere secure and safe. Should I have contacted you or something like that?¡±


    Are you my father ¡­. really, my father would react like that. When my sister was out late and not coming back. He would go into a frenzy. / I need to protect my little girl/ or / Bastard don''t you dare lay a hand on her/ , where yelled into the night then. Our poor neighbors ¡­. and the poor boyfriends of my sister.


    Olward: ¡° ¡­. can''t you think of anything you have done?!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Uhm ¡­. ¡°


    Olward: ¡°How about a refreshing one of your memorys. It was something with fire.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Oh, that. Yes, I clearly remember now. Did it startle the queen more then I thought~


    Olward: ¡°You know ¡­. we had search party¡¯s looking for you. As the royalty and the ministers were guarded in a safe place. Stuck together ¡­ in a small area. FOR HOURS!!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°I-i am sorry?¡±


    Olward: ¡°Don''t you / I AM SORRY/ me!!¡±


    Okay ¡­ I went to far maybe. A little bit. But I can clearly imagine that ¡­.


    Olward: ¡°I need not explain! How agitated everyone was. To not show the state of it, invisibility spells were fired up on the palace grounds! Barriers lifted! Entrance to the city stopped! Even the wyrm knights were sortied!¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. it was just some flashy ¡­. flames.¡±


    Olward: ¡°JUST!! JUSSSSTTTTTTTTTT!! The queen pissed herself!¡±


    Ohh, that I wanted to see ¡­. That annoying old hag, with an shocked expression. In a small room, full of old men. Oh, wait ¡­. Gustav was there too. I may need to really apologize to him, he''s not that bad ¡­.


    Olward: ¡°I KNOW! It was you from the start. But no one wanted to listen! Even now they think it was an act of aggression from the [Demons]!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°So I am save from punishment?¡±


    Olward: ¡° ¡­. ¡­. ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°I''m really sorry ¡­. but I don''t want to get blamed for their stupidity. So please spare me that sermon.¡±


    Olward: ¡°ARGH!!! ¡­.¡±


    Making exaggerated gestures with his hands and arms while going on and on about what I did wrong. What happened. And how much [Mana] was wasted on that accident ¡­. Olward finally calmed down.


    Jacky: ¡°Is it okay now?¡±


    Olward: ¡° ¡­. ha ¡­. at least nothing serious happened. And it seems ¡­. you''re getting used to [fire magic] in a neck breaking speed. Don''t overexert yourself with untested magic ¡­. it won''t end with just one arm.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. yes, I truly regret not thinking that through.¡±


    Olward sighed heavily and pointed at the door.


    Olward: ¡°Let''s go in and talk. It will be a short one. I still need to check the [Mana] Storage devices ¡­. and get updates on the court magicians activity.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Okay.¡±


    I sat down on a new comfy cushioned chair. It was richly decorated with dragons out of wood. Olward sat down on the same kind. They were overly big, so it was more like a sofa or semi-throne.


    Olward: ¡°Let''s make this quick. For the time being I won''t have any time to teach you soul magic. You''re hereby forbidden in doing experiments on your own. I don''t want something like that happening again, ever!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°U-understood ¡­. sorry.¡±


    Olward: ¡°If you do it''s fine ¡­. Next is, as we can''t have the [Hero] sitting around doing nothing, again and again. You will enter the life of an Adventurer for now. If you go to the armory, you will be staffed out with the necessary equipment. And some pocket change too. With your current skills, it shouldn''t pose any life endangering situations. As long as you keep clear from dungeon levels deeper then the 5th.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Adventuring?¡±


    Olward: ¡°I am not finished. The last would be, that this will be done without you revealing yourself as the [Hero]. So the equipment wont be the best and you won''t gain any helping hand from me. Form a party or whatever, you will get information¡¯s and help at the guild. Ari and Sara are forbidden from helping!¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. isn''t this more punishment, then training ¡­.¡±


    Olward: ¡°Oh you want punishment? How about I stuff you into a small room, filled with old men and a nagging ugly hag that pisses herself and others?!¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. when do I start adventuring.¡±


    Olward: ¡°You started already. Get going to the armory, it''s


    direction can be asked from any maids or servants. No hold ups!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Yes ¡­.¡±


    Oh, I really got myself into a situation now. Without Ari ¡­. for a day at least. Wait ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°H-how long?¡±


    Olward: ¡°Till I cleaned up this mess. At least 1 week. So get going to it!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°That!¡±


    Olward: ¡°I will get someone to take you back, when it''s time!¡±


    Okay, okay. I get it don''t stare at me while destroying your chairs fluffy cushions with your hands. I am sorry ¡­.


    Olward: ¡°See you in a week. I will tell them, so go now!¡±


    I resigned myself to the punishment of not being able to see Ari for a week. And went out to search for the Armory. The Armory was filled with all kinds of equipments. It had the flavor of an real fantasy world. Shiny swords, glimmering armor and  sporadic there were some staffs with gems hung up on the walls.


    Male Outfitter: ¡°Oh, it''s the [Hero]. I heard from Olward, so you wanna challenge the adventurer life. And just with some basic equipment. I respect that~¡±


    With an short nod he sealed my fate. Yes, please. A cardboard shield. Some paper roll staff with glitter and these invisible panties please ¡­. Is what came to my mind. I could already see me like that.


    Jacky: ¡°Please be so kind and help me search something out. Preferably with fire resistance ¡­. and maybe a staff of some kind.¡±


    Male Outfitter: ¡°Hmm, we will see. I think elemental resistance is a bit much. For basics gear. First let me take your measurements~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Don''t touch anywhere weird. Or I might end burning you on the shock.¡±


    Male Outfitter: ¡°So not cute~¡±


    Perverts and Idiots ¡­. ha ¡­.


    After getting my measurements taken, I won''t tell anyone! I was handed some reinforced leather trousers, an similar crude locking leather jacket, an really sad looking wooden staff with an pebble like gemstone. And one single ring with an red gemstone.


    Male Outfitter: ¡°This is more then I should give you. See this ring, it will enhance your clothes a bit. So they don¡¯t burn ''that'' easily. Still won''t help with higher [flame magic] but a few sparks and a bit of heat. Will just be absorbed~¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­ thank you. Really.¡±


    After getting the stack of staple beginner stuff like equipment. I wanted to ask where to change and looked around.


    Male Outfitter: ¡°Just change here~¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. where can I change? -Please kind sir~¡±


    Male Outfitter: ¡°Haha, okay. I will tell you. Just next doors is the looker. Pick the right side and change~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Thanks.¡±


    After going into the /locker room look alike/ where everything was out of wood. I found out that gender mixed changing room concept, seems to have been abolished. The middle of the room had remains of an wall. About as much height as up to my navel ¡­. There were gaps in the wall to walk through to the other side. And the sides were marked with wooden signs. Why bother with sexual harassment ¡­. if you can make it sexual mass embarrassment ¡­.


    I quickly changed into my new outfit and folded up my previous one neatly.


    Jacky: ¡°HEY can I get an bag or something!?¡±


    Outfitter: ¡°Don''t shout I can hear and see you clearly~¡±


    Coming from above, the voice of the male Outfitter was the culprit. I felt a gaze on me while changing, so I used my jacket to hide my body with it.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    *Rggzzrgrrzzz*


    A flame stake stuck down neatly were I suspected his crotch to be. I just jumbled up some flame and it became pretty decent. Immediately the male Outfitter landed beside me.


    Male Outfitter: ¡°WHAT ARE YOU DOING!! YOU NEARLY SKEWERED ME!!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Oh did I? Sorry, I thought I saw a cockroach up there on that scaffold like wooden beam. My bad~¡±


    I missed him and had just punctured his baggy trousers. I couldn''t see were to aim and just gave the flame stake a thought command of ''Pierce between his legs''. So ¡­. inaccurate commands will lead to inaccurate results. Lucky bastard ¡­.


    Male Outfitter: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°If you don''t want me to mistake that as a no. Get me my bag. I think I see an insect somewhere here ¡­..¡±


    The male Outfitter became a bit pale. And hurried of to get me an bag. I got a decent looking leather backpack out of it at least. It was filled with pure nothingness. Even empty it was kind of heavy, and reached over my head when equipped ¡­.


    I won''t complain. This is probably rather decent. Enough space for some food, clothes and a set of sleeping utensils. Probably won''t camp out. But one can never know.


    Shooting off two flame stakes close to his feets, I showed him my back and waved /goodbye/.


    Jacky: ¡°Don''t ever mess with me.¡±


    Male Outfitter: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    These are rather useful. Way more exact and less dangerous for the surrounding, like that razor like magic. I should probably improve it a bit, could I compress the tip? Or make it hollow? Hmm ¡­..


    Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.


    Thinking these elaborated thoughts of simple destruction, that I would unleash onto monsters. I wandered through the halls, to get some directions from a maid. It shouldn''t be that hard, if Olward said so ¡­. I hope.


    At the Adventurer Guild, around 11 am.


    The Adventurer Guild was located just 40 Minutes away from the palace. It was situated north, in an area I didn''t explore with Ari and Sara. The building itself was quite the looker. Heavily decorated with statue pillars on the outside. Which resembled all kinds of adventurers. Being made up mostly of marble like stone. Fancy stuff~


    With an golden Signboard, what most likely sayd /Adventurer Guild, yes! We''re fucking rich!/ the entrance was just as gaudy ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. what''s up with this ¡­.¡±


    It didn''t fit my image of an Adventurer Guild. Not in the least ¡­. Around the Guild Building, a mass of Adventurer themed shops were located. Mostly bars and inns, but many weapon shops with sword signs could be seen. Poster girls were running around in risky uniforms, praising food or drinks in all their glory. They seemed to even hand out a kind of token.


    Random Postergirl: ¡°Here take one~ You will like it, come by~ There will be a discount when you hand it in~¡±


    A young looking cat girl gave me an token shaped like an cat face. While I stood there being perplexed of the scenery. It didn''t take long ¡­ and I had 11 tokens. Shaped in all forms. From muscle spiced arms to flower petals. The poster girls were all demihuman slaves. One was wearing a male butler uniform, another had just a string like outfit on her ¡­. One had an marital arts styled uniform ¡­. gosh her abs. I really needed some fitness ¡­. I just stared at them when they handed me the tokens. I couldn''t even laugh.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. this is surreal ¡­. I want my fantasy fantasies back ¡­.¡±


    Finally regaining my calmness again. I made my way to the entrance of the Adventurer Guild. A mass of people were streaming out and inn. No one seemed to be tense, injured or even in a moody state. Entering the building I could see an luxury interior. In the mid was a wide staircase with something like a star handle. People placed down their hand on a metal platform, as they went through it.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­ a shopping mall?¡±


    I couldn''t feel the smallest bit of excitement. It was a shopping mall. The mid most likely was the entrance to the dungeon. Some people with blood on them came back through it. But as they carried huge bags and looked cheerful ¡­. doesn''t seem to be their blood. Around the Staircase billboards were set up. Most likely for quests and party requests and such ¡­. On the rest of the space. Luxurious bars, shops and some massage parlors and stuff. Even more Poster girls were running around in here.


    Jacky: ¡°I don''t want ¡­.¡±


    Some poster girl that was maybe just about the age of Maya from the orphanage. Wanted to hand me another token. As I spoke to her, tears started to come up in her eyes.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. please give me 3 ¡­.¡±


    Little Postergirl: ¡°YES!¡±


    They were free ¡­. so it''s not like it would hurt me. As I looked at the tokens. They were in the shape of a pair of hands, there was a massage parlor with the same sign. Not far from me.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Luckily no one working there seemed underage ¡­.. They were using cute looking poster girls to gain more attention. Crafty business style ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Hey you, were can I register as Adventurer here?¡±


    Little Postergirl: ¡°Uhmm, it''s upstairs. There.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Ah thanks~ Here take this.¡±


    Little Postergirl: ¡°Wah candy!¡±


    I just gave her some sweets that I had plundered, while being forced to leave the palace grounds. Luckily my way outside was along the kitchen~ Still ¡­ don''t just take candy from some stranger. I wanted to tell her, but she happily already chewed on the candied apple piece. I left her standing there, and waved my hand at her. She waved back~


    Jacky: ¡°At least one good thing ¡­.¡±


    Making my way to the small stairs that were on an edged corner. Which just had enough space to allow two people simultaneously walking up or down. I found myself in the upper level. Rows of adventurers were standing in queue lines. Others were sitting at picnic table like wood furniture, chatting wildly about something. At the end of each queue line, was a receptionist lady.


    Jacky: ¡°So that''s more Adventurer like ¡­.¡±


    Whoever runs this, must be rather good with his brains. Put the boring stuff above. And the stuff of dreams below. Everyone who wants to do something official, now then needs to move through the selling area ¡­. I felt already sick from this well thought out layout.


    Jacky: ¡°Hello sir, might I ask you a question?¡±


    Male Adventurer: ¡°Who? Me?¡±


    ¡­. I am looking at you. Talking with you, no that invisible guy before you was meant ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Yes, could you kindly show or tell me the way how to register as Adventurer here?¡±


    Male Adventurer: ¡° ¡­. are you sure about that. You look really scrawny there.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. yes. And I am quite strong, so don''t worry.¡±


    Male Adventurer: ¡°Ah! An mage. Haha, my bad. Didn''t see the staffs crytal.¡±


    ¡­. so it does look more like a wandering stick ¡­. I am going to grill that male Outfitter. And then serve him to whatever monsters are living down there. With a scary smile I looked at the male Adventurer.


    Male Adventurer: ¡°Haha~ No need to be mad. See, it''s there. Sign says ''Registration''.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Ah, thanks. And sorry, that wasn''t meant for you. The one who gave me this staff, will soon which to be as kind as you sir~¡±


    Male Adventurer: ¡°Have fun adventuring~¡±


    Have fun. Really, is everyone so laid back here? This better not be some amusement park ¡­.


    Walking to the registration booth, I queued up in the line before it. Just 4 people were in it, so it should get done rather fast. After half an hour I was finally next to go.


    Female Receptionist: ¡°Name please.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Uhmm, it''s Jacky. Nice to meet you.¡±


    Female Receptionist: ¡°Job Please.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. mage.¡±


    Female Receptionist: ¡°Birth place please.¡±


    ¡­. Yes, it felt like talking with an robot. The whole procedure took around 10 minutes. After getting all my personal info. I was handed an badge made out of an metal alloy.


    Female Receptionist: ¡°This will show your current Level as an Adventurer, as your Rank. This will work as payment system in the shops located in here and around here.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. Level?¡±


    Female Receptionist: ¡°Furthermore. This badge is only temporary. If you don''t partake and complete a Level 1 quest in a week. It will be forfeit and needs to returned. If you find an badge while on a quest or just hunting, bring it back. There¡¯s a bounty on lost or dead found ones.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Ah, excuse me young madame. What about Levels?¡±


    Female Receptionist: ¡°Please pay your registration fees of 10 silver on the cashier counter, situated there. Have a nice day. NEXT PLEAES!¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Getting it done so fast. I never had gotten any information on what Levels was. Olward never mentioned it ¡­. Getting shoved aside by a young male wannabe adventurer. I could hear the receptionist begin anew. As I further went away, sound seemed to be blocked out.


    Jacky: ¡°Oh ¡­. that''s why I didn''t hear her before.¡±


    Some magic was set up to protect privacy. And to needless anger anyone who registers, still to be in the unknown about that unearthly robot woman¡¯s speech. Moving to the cashier, I paid up the cost for the registration. Now my pocket change was just around 47 silver coins. I hope this is enough to get some necessary things. Like potions or stuff. There are potions or?


    Jacky: ¡°Umm, excuse me sir. May I ask you where I could get more information on being an Adventurer? Where to buy things cheaply? What Levels are? What the Rank means?¡±


    Male Cashier: ¡° ¡­. this isn''t really my job.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. thanks anyways.¡±


    Male Cashier: ¡°But if you want to sit down somewhere for a drink. I could tell you some bits~¡±


    Yes. I forgot that I could play that card. Puff up my chest, make a blushing face. Go full force cheap girl. As I thought about taking him up on his offer. I already got piercing stares from some female adventurers and cashiers.


    Hahaha ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Just a drink, that would be nice. I am quite thirsty after that monotone registration ¡­.¡±


    Male Cashier: ¡°Yes~ It''s quite a hassle right~¡±


    Haha, I feel so cheap. But I don''t know how to get that information otherwise. As I am  kind of not interested in running around asking strangers to help me out, all day. I just need to be excused for this one time ¡­.


    After sitting down somewhere at an empty picnic table. He pulled out two cups and a leather drinking bag. Well prepared ¡­.


    Male Cashier: ¡°Here have one~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Thanks, so about Levels. What does that mean?¡±


    Male Cashier: ¡°Hmm, it''s like how strong you are. You do quests or bring in worthy stuff. Then you get points for that, which will raise your Level.¡±


    Ahh, some kind of scalable ranking through efforts.


    Male Cashier: ¡°You need a certain level for certain quests~ Even more importantly, you won''t be allowed to go further down then the 5th dungeon level. If your below level 10.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Couldn''t I just grind love level quests. Be still weak and make it to level 10?¡±


    Male Cashier: ¡°Haha~ No, the amount of points needed would make you do 1 level quests for years. Even if you managed that, it alone would amount to the same strength as any other Level 10 Adventurer. Most likely~ Drink up, there¡¯s more to go~¡±


    While drinking cheerfully, he was trying to make me drink. I sniffed on the offered beverage. It clearly was highly alcoholic. So I just pretended to drink from it.


    Jacky: ¡°Ha~ This is quite strong. And what is the Rank then?¡±


    Male Cashier: ¡°It''s like an bonus for points. If you manage to impress the quest giver, you can earn Ranks. The better your Rank, the more points will be given for the same quest~ And the rewards might be increased too.¡±


    Hmm, like a certificate. If I am high ranked, I will do the quests in a fast manor and with high precision. So quest givers know what to expect from an adventurer on his quest.


    Rather good thought out.


    Jacky: ¡°Where can I buy good equipment and needed necessity for adventuring?¡±


    Male Cashier: ¡°First drink up and let me refill your cup~¡±


    ¡­. I took the cup to my mouth. As I wanted to really pour it down my throat. A good idea pooped into my mind. The liquid poured into my mouth and was evaporated while I closed my mouth. After faking to swallow it, I let out a steamy burp.


    Male Cashier: ¡°Whoa~ Haha, great table manners for a young woman.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Thanks~ I won awards with it. So back to my question?¡±


    Male Cashier: ¡°Just let me refill yours~ Okay, about buying what you need. The easiest way would be to just buy stuff in the adventurer guild. But if you want cheap and good quality. Go outside and get to the ''rough henry''s'', it''s a bar and a shop of all trades. The one with the muscle arm sign.¡±


    I rummaged in my pockets and pulled out a token.


    Jacky: ¡°Is it this one?¡±


    Male Cashier: ¡°Yeah, that''s it. But don''t go there when it''s dark. You just might get abducted, haha~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Thanks for the warning. But I would worry more for the abductors~¡±


    After putting down the cup I said my farewells. I need to get going, the day wont last forever. Hmm, I should probably look around for an cheap inn. Asking wouldn''t do much good, could get messy.


    Male Cashier: ¡°Hey, wait. If you want to know. The toilet is just right up there. It''s free of charge, one of the few~¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Ahh, thanks but I am good.¡±


    Male Cashier: ¡°I-is that so ¡­.¡±


    ¡­. what did you mix into the drink. Good that I didn''t drink that. Gosh, I hope it was just laxative or diuretic. I should probably report him ¡­.


    Jacky: ?Ha ¡­.¡°


    Uniformed Woman: ?If you need to go to the toilet. Go for the one downstairs. That pervert never learns ¡­.¡°


    Jacky: ?Ah ¡­. yes.¡°


    While walking to the stairs. A woman with an uniform came up to me. So it was already a ongoing crime ¡­. Looking back, i saw two muscle packed adventurers and another woman with an uniform. Carrying of that man ¡­. oh. I just clapped my hands in my mind and said just for myself. Sorry~

 Chapter 8: Business merits~ Part 2.

    <b>Spoiler</b> : <input type=''button'' value=''Show'' class=''spoilerButton''> Plugged that darn plot hole. In a way i am more happy with this outcome. Part three will conclude some plot line work.


    Chapter 8: Business merits~ Part 2.


    I was browsing the boards that were set up next to the dungeon entrance. There were all kind of quests for level 1 adventurers like me. But how do I say it ¡­..


    Jacky: ¡°This is a joke, right?¡±


    None of these quest seemed really to be a dangerous hunting quest. They were either hunting for herbs, woods, minerals or simple animals. Even one that said ''I need squirrels, for paste. Bring me as many as you can!''. I sighed out aloud while standing before the quest board. I will need to do some of these to get to the good stuff, Level 1 Adventurers are nothing more then errand runners. But what should I chose ¡­. I didn''t ask how many quests one could do simultaneously.


    Jacky: ¡°Hmm.¡±


    Rough voiced Male Adventurer: ¡°Hey you. Are you new here?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Me?¡±


    Rough voiced Male Adventurer: ¡°Yes. I am Manfred, would you like to do a Level 3 Party Quest? We''re short on one person.¡±


    That Manfred pointed at two other men behind him. Is this a recruiting offer. But Level 3 ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Sorry, but I just started. So I am just Level 1. Maybe some other time.¡±


    Manfred: ¡°Hee~ You know, that if more then 60% of the requested party size is in the Level range. You still can join a quest~ How about it. It''s better then any of these Level 1 grinds.¡±


    Oh, that''s new. So one can do something like that. I really want to go now. But with three guys ¡­. more importantly are they even interested in the quest or just messing around.


    Jacky: ¡°So it doesn''t matter who it is. As long as you get another person you''re good to go?¡±


    Manfred: ¡°Yeah, sounds terrible I know. But we three are enough to deal with the fights. It will be safe, as long as you don''t straggle off to far.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. about what is that Level 3 quest?¡±


    I might go, if there''s a chance to see some higher Level Adventurers doing actual adventuring. Even just observing should prove useful.


    Manfred: ¡°It''s for collecting ''silver wolf fur''. You know, that kind of 2,5 ~ 4 meter long wolf. With fur, that actually is made of silver~¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. 4 m-meters ¡­.¡±


    Manfred: ¡°Yeah, about half my height too~ But it''s doable if you know how. And the reward is nice. Ah , yeah. We will split it evenly~¡±


    That sounds good. Fur''s in the size of an up to 4 meter wolf ¡­. which is made out of silver. How much money could I get just from one of these ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°H-how much ¡­.¡±


    Manfred: ¡°We were asked to hunt at least 50 of them. They''re worth about 20~35 silver. If you would use the meat and the other stuff too, you could get more. But you ain''t wanna carry all that~¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Enough to life a month per kill. That''s hilarious. I would make a farm of these ¡­. and sheer them like sheep. Probably not happening with such big wolfs. They would eat more then they''re worth~


    Thievish looking Guy: ¡°As he said, we just need someone to hang around. If you can carry some of your own weight in fights, it would make this faster. Is that a mage''s staff?¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Ah, yes. I am a mage. I will gladly join you three. Is it possible for me to fight from the back?¡±


    Thievish looking Guy: ¡°Wouldn''t expect to see you fighting them on the front. They would rip you apart with that kind of protective gear.¡±


    Thin stature Adventurer: ¡°Don''t scare her off, when we finally found a member. ¡­. ah anyways, nice to meet you I am Raffle. I will be with you in the back, using bows and traps.¡±


    Manfred: ¡°I will bash in their furry heads in the front lines. Leave the rough stuff to me.¡±


    Thievish looking Guy: ¡°Spotter and luring them. Just don''t attack them before Manfred is able to hold them back. Name is, Ninuro.¡±


    Does sound like a good party make up. I can see how they would do this, regardless of me joining or not. A thief, a warrior and a ranger. They really covered the weaknesses and strengths of the others in the party.


    Manfred: ¡°Ninuro, all you ever do is running around. You could learn to hold a real sword!¡±


    Ninuro: ¡° ¡­. and be such a muscle brain like you. Yes, I would gladly enjoy it.¡±


    Raffle: ¡°Stop it you two. Really, we have more important things to do! It''s always this, each time we have a relaxing moment!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Hehe, you three are really good friends.¡±


    All three: ¡°HOW SO?!¡±


    Men''s~ Ah wait, I am male too. I shouldn''t use that kind of speech pattern ¡­. Anyways, time to ask.


    Jacky: ¡°Do we need to go now?¡±


    Manfred: ¡°We planned to do so.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°I still wanted to buy some things for adventuring. Will it be alright if we just go like this. I don''t even know how long we will be gone.¡±


    Manfred: ¡°Uhh ¡­.¡±


    Ninuro: ¡°Let me talk. If you need a sleeping bag and other necessity''s. You should hurry to the ''rough henry''s shop'', you will get that cheaply there. Get yourself some table ware and stuff like that too. As you look, you rather are barely equipped with anything.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Yeah, sorry about that. I will make it fast. Where should we meet up?¡±


    The three of them looked at each other. Then Raffle spoke up.


    Raffle: ¡°I will come with you to the shop. It''s faster then explaining and you wont get cheated.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Thanks, that would really help.¡±


    We left the other two behind. And Raffle leaded the way to that shop, I now was recommended two times too. I am way to exited ¡­. I might need to pet someone out of reflex now. Where''s Ari when you


    need her ¡­. ha ¡­.


    Raffle: ¡°This is it, let''s do this fast.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Yes.¡±


    The outside of the shop, wasn''t much too look at. But the inside was some kind of a mix. A bar was there, three tables and half the room was stuffed with shelf¡¯s. Which were filled to the brim with everything one could need. On the walls hung armor and weaponry of all kinds. And a lone waitress that was human was chatting with some guys.


    Raffle: ¡°Here follow me. We need these.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Ah yes.¡±


    Raffle went through the shelf¡¯s with swift hand movements. He pulled out a sleeping bag, tableware, some health utensils like a tooth brush and such. The further we went into the maze of shelf''s, the more adventurer themed the warez got. I got myself some potions, antidotes and even an extra bag. That would decrease the weight of anything stored inside. My eyes were already shinning like crazy.


    Raffle: ¡°I think this should do. The potions and antidotes wont heal you up in a blink. As they''re just the cheap kind. But if you''re just slightly wounded or poisoned, these are life savers.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Yes, thank you for your guidance~¡±


    Raffle: ¡°Don''t mention it.¡±


    Moving onto the next step. Everything was looked through by a really brawny looking guy with one eye. That must be Henry ¡­ or at least his brother or father ¡­..


    Raffle: ¡°How much for it, make it fair Henry. You know me.¡±


    Henry: ¡°Eh, trying to impress some young woman.¡±


    Raffle: ¡°That''s not it.¡±


    Henry: ¡°Haha, I know. Can''t you get a joke. Anyways, this will cost you 77 silver.¡±


    Pointing at me, I gulped down hard. Oh shit ¡­.


    Already sweating like in a steam bath here ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. I just have 47 silver coins.¡±


    Henry: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Raffle: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Henry: ¡°This won''t do. I am not a charity, you know.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°What can I lay back, so that it comes down to 47?¡±


    Raffle: ¡°It''s okay, I will lend you the other 30. Pay me back with the money you will get.¡±


    Henry: ¡°Thanks for business as always. I will throw in some extra dried beef.¡±


    Raffle saved my ass, literally there. It felt wrong to get money lend, when I nearly don''t know him. But he''s right. He will get it back in time. As I will join the party together with him, it''s save to say so. After getting out of the shop. I apologized to Raffle on the way back. I really hope I can do some damage with just [fire magic].


    Raffle: ¡°Let''s get back.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Right.¡±


    We hurried back, meet up with the other two. And finally started to climb down the staircase, that would lead us to the dungeon''s many levels. On the way I talked about what magic I could use. And it was agreed, that I should try to aim for the heads. As undamaged fur will fetch a higher prize. A rough estimate on the time needed to hunt down 40 of these wolf monsters, was 3 days and nights. After walking down the staircase for about a hour, we reached a Gate room.


    Jacky: ¡°Wow ¡­.¡±


    Raffle: ¡°It''s always impressive to see these gates.¡±


    Manfred: ¡°It''s just like a door. Let''s get a move on.¡±


    Ninuro was already moving through the gate in a good speed. We started to catch up to him after a short sprint. The Dungeons 1 Level, was a dense forest. You could see the ceiling, but there was an artificial sun and clouds. It truly was a living forest. After a straight 2 hour walk, we made our way to the gate on the opposite of the one we entered from.


    Jacky: ¡°Will we need exactly the same amount of time for the next dungeon level too?¡±


    Ninuro: ¡°It''s roughly about 1 hour longer. As we will need to fight some Monsters to get through this time.¡±


    We just moved down the staircase without talking much. I am already getting tired from all this moving around ¡­. But the excitement is stronger then the fatigue. Finally we made it to the next dungeon level. Ninuro was lecturing me onto the kind of Monsters that would attack us regardless of our intention.


    Ninuro: ¡°Here the problem is mainly the goblin population. These guys are widely spread out in the dungeon''s overall levels. There will be mostly young goblins. Still, you should be wary of arrows. They could be poisoned.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Ah yes. I will try to keep an eye on the surroundings.¡±


    Ninuro just nodded and we went on. We encountered a group of 6 goblins about 5 minutes after we entered the 2 dungeon level. Raffle was picking of one, before I even could react. Ninuro was swiftly moving around, blocking some arrows with his daggers. While Manfred was holding up his shield to cover Raffle and Me. Finally realizing being in combat. I conjured up some flame stakes and annihilated the remaining goblins in a flash.


    Raffle: ¡° ¡­. what was that ¡­.¡±


    Everyone except Raffle was just speechlessly staring at the goblins. Their heads were pierced by small


    red stakes, that gave of a sound like cooking raw meat on a way to high flame. Smoke was rising from them, as the magic charred the impact area.


    Jacky: ¡°That was my [flame stake]. It''s like a spiky rod, made of flame.¡±


    Raffle: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Ninuro: ¡°You can cast magic without chants? That''s impressive. I might need to change my evaluation of your usefulness ¡­.¡±


    Manfred: ¡°Still it''s only throwing magic. Can''t see what''s so great in killing a few goblins! Haha~¡±


    Raffle and Ninuro just looked at Manfred, with a sad look. What they felt was impressive. Was the way I killed these goblins. Not the magic itself. After a short talk with Ninuro, we changed to an more aggressive formation. With Ninuro scouting ahead, we ambushed any goblins group that were on our way. Manfred would just stay close to me, while having his small shield readied. For Raffle, he was tasked to pick up anything that would come from behind. Or alarm us if were ambushed.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. ha ¡­. it''s getting tiresome.¡±


    Raffle: ¡°Yes, I think we should take a small break now.¡±


    Ninuro: ¡°10 Minutes rest. Then we go down to the 3 level.¡±


    Manfred: ¡°Ninuro ¡­. ¡°


    After fighting 8 battles with varying amounts of goblins. We finally came to the next gate. The goblins hadn''t anything useful on them. But Ninuro cut of their ears ¡­. holding them to me with a explanation.


    Ninuro: ¡°Use these, you can give them to the quest exchanger people. A permanent level 2 quest is up, it''s just to decrease the amount of goblins. So that non-combatants can farm in the mines here.¡±


    I was free to take them. As the three of them wouldn''t gain much in terms of points from it anyways. So I stuffed them into the extra bag I had on me. I now had 82 goblin ears ¡­. the bag already smelled terrible. So as to reduce it, I just put in some freshly plucked grass. It''s rather cruel, cutting up goblins and leaving them on the open. But other wild monsters will take care of the body¡¯s for us.


    Ninuro: ¡°Let''s get going. We do want to at least set up camp on the planned level.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. why is there no traveling magic ¡­.¡±


    Raffle: ¡° ¡­. I would pay for it even.¡±


    Manfred: ¡°You two just need to get some muscles~¡±


    Hah ¡­. we went down to the gate of the 3 dungeon level in a struggle with ourselves. Raffle and me where out of steam. 5 ? hours since we set off on our quest, we finally did it.


    In the short rest that was granted to us. Ninuro explained how I should fight a silver wolf. Mostly my job was, to try to hit them. While Manfred hindered their movement.


    Ninuro: ¡°These ones won''t be taken out as easy as some goblins. Stay on your guard.¡±


    With a serious nod I agreed in silence. I didn''t have much time to think about up to now. But I probably will need to get some defensive magic. While still resting, I finally noticed. Ninuro didn''t have a clock. But he clearly used something to watch the time. He even used units that I knew.


    Jacky: ¡°Ninuro, how are you able to tell the time here?¡±


    Ninuro: ¡°It''s this.¡±


    What he showed to me. Was a genuine pocket watch. But inside were numbers made out of smoke, that changed in a set rhythm. So there were time telling magic devices ¡­. I will need to get one. Ninuro then announced that rest time was over. We started to move into the 3 dungeon floor. I was really tense from the get go. But nothing happened, till we reached some plain hilly area. Outside of the forest, we were walking through. Now if I think about it. All the dungeons floors up till here, were covered in a dense forest. Isn''t that way to monotone?


    Ninuro: ¡° We will camp here.¡±


    Everyone set down their bags and a campfire was made. Without much delay, Ninuro announced the shift''s for night watch. I was fast asleep, even while it was still not that dark or late, in mere minutes. At around 3 am it was my turn. I kept training some newly thought out flame magic in the 3 hours of this shift. I managed to improve my flame stakes, they could now be made as thin as a needle. With nearly no [mana] consumption, in regards to the old stakes size. An improvised flame shield was made too, after some trial and error. Manfred complained while half asleep, that I shouldn''t play with such a bright light. So I dimmed down the flame''s intensity. What gave off a surprising benefit. It was way easier to handle a bigger volume of flames, when they were artificially cooled down. So that they gave off an less intense light. My flame shield now looked more like a kind of energy shield. That was dimly emitting a cold shine. I had tried using the staff to improve my magic, but it didn''t quite work out. Nothing changed, the only thing that was visible was a young woman making strange poses. With this crude staff i made pompouse poses. Stretching out my hands while holding the staff. Striking it up to the heaven or swinging it around like a sword. While using magic at the same time. Atleast i had fun making a singer like pose, with the staff being stuck to the ground and soundlessly yelling in it. Flames seemed to pour out of it, but i created these close to my mouth ....  I think i will leave clearing up usage of staff''s for when i can talk to Olward again.


    Jacky: ¡° Rise and shine guys, it''s morning~¡±


    Ninuro: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Manfred: ¡°OH is that breakfast?!¡±


    Raffle: ¡°Wow, so that''s what it means to have someone with cooking skills in a party ¡­.¡±


    Around half an hour before my shift was over. I began to make some breakfast. I had made some tea with the herbs I gathered while moving around. Some of these looked like mint, which in fact tasted exactly like it. Using some of the provisions from the palace kitchen, I made baked bacon and scrambled eggs. Really nice for them to have egg powder laying around~ Just mixing it with some water, salt,oil and spice. Whola, scrambled eggs~ The breakfast set was completed with some dry bread, which came from the same kitchen too.


    Jacky: ¡°Dig in~ There''s enough for everyone~¡±


    Without much delay, all four of us ate our fill. Ah, it''s taste was way better then it should be. Must be the outdoor feel + still being a bit tired from all that walking and fighting from yesterday. I didn''t eat anything at all since we started to go down into the dungeon. The excitement was driving me nuts. Now finally my body was in a good condition again. Happily my stomach was ready to burst open~


    Jacky: ¡°Puh~ That was good.¡±


    Raffle: ¡°Yeah. I wish my mother could cook so well.¡±


    Manfred: ¡°Haha, I would marry our new addition anytime~¡±


    Ninuro: ¡°Don''t joke around. It''s just a really tasty breakfast.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°I won''t marry you Manfred. I already have Ari~¡±


    Manfred: ¡°That Ari guy needs some pounding!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Haha~¡±


    Oh gosh, these guys. I could enjoy going on adventures with them for years. We finished our preparations, fortifying our camp with some makeshifts traps. Mainly Ninuro and Raffle were running around in strange patterns. Making holes and putting up wire traps. Afterward we began our main mission. The quest to gather up silver wolf fur.


    Ninuro: ¡°Okay listen. I will lure in Silver Wolf''s. Manfred will take their attacks and slow them down. Raffle will attack from afar together with Jacky. Keep in mind, even if they are just low level Monsters. These ones work in packs.¡±


    Everyone: ¡°YES!¡±


    Ninuro moved away from us in a flash. We weren''t exactly at our campsite. We moved a bit away from it, stationing ourselves on a hill. Manfred was downhill. Firing from an elevated position, the basics of ground advantage. Just shortly after Ninuro left he came back. With a pack of 9 of these wolf monsters ¡­.


    Ninuro: ¡°Get ready!¡±


    Manfred was running into the enraged pack. Two of them managed to doge, all others were bashed to the ground. Ninuro made a u-turn and used his daggers to skillfully attack one of the stragglers. While Raffle was shooting out arrows at the one that was running towards us.


    Jacky: ¡°HA!¡±


    I shot out the improved version of flame stakes, I dubbed them flame needles. The wolf had dodged the arrow of Raffle, but now couldn''t react fast enough to the needles that came flying at him in mid air. About 20 of these needles pierced into it''s head. Lifeless the body plumbed to ground with a smacking sound. Raffle nodded in notice of the swift death of our foe, focusing his attacks on the one that was being worked at by Ninuro. I switched my focus to the group of 7, that were being entangled in close quarter combat with Manfred.


    Jacky: ¡°Manfred, doge to the left!¡±


    I shoot out flame strings to bind the enemy. I got 4 of them, the flame strings where wrapped around their legs. Gruesome howls were heard from the torture that was happening to them. The burning flame strings, digging into the flesh of it''s victims. Manfred used this chance and strikes down one after another in a flash. While I was firing up another batch of flame needles at the remaining 3.


    Jacky: ¡°DAMM!! DON''T DODGE THAT!¡±


    I got angry at the silver wolfs swift movements. Being wary about my magic, they started to skillfully evade my attacks. Which were only aimed at their heads, with ease. Luckily, with Ninuro and Raffle finishing of the pack leader, the biggest of them. It now was a 4 versus 3. While the 3 enemy¡¯s, tried their best to escape. Manfred and Ninuro pinned them down one after another. While Raffle and Me, finished them off with shots to the head. In just a few minutes, we had finished of that pack of 9. Heavily breathing from the excitement, deep concentration and the running around at the end. I was smiling at my party members, while they were smiling back at me.


    Ninuro: ¡°Good job. That was a good fight. I think we can handle groups of that size. I am sorry, I wanted to get a smaller one. But they saw me first.¡±


    Manfred: ¡°Hehe~ I can take on even more!¡±


    Raffle: ¡°Please don''t ¡­. that was scary.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Puh, please try to get smaller packs. It worked out nicely. But I got scared a bit, when one of them started to suicide attack us. When we chased them ¡­.¡±


    With the first smile on Ninuro since I got to know him. We took a break and discussed what was good and what could be improved. It was determined, that I should work closer together with Manfred. Binding them with flame string, was seen as grand scheme here. If I had the chance to bind them, while they were shortly confused by Manfred''s attack. We could have gotten 7 of them without as much as a sweat drop on our foreheads.


    Jacky: ¡°Okay, then I will stay close to Manfred. I hope you can take some heat.¡±


    Manfred: ¡°I can take more then some tiny flames!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Oh, then you wont complain if I entangle you together with the wolfs?¡±


    Manfred: ¡° ¡­. please don''t¡±


    Raffle: ¡°Hahaha!!¡±


    Manfred had seen what the flame strings did close up. So he stopped his boosting right there. Good for you, that I am in a reaaaaaalllllllyyy good mood here. Raffle it''s enough. Stop with the laughing, or Manfred will murder you in your sleep.


    Ninuro: ¡°Okay, I will go get the next batch. We should be able to do this 7 or 9 times today. So we will likely end up with enough in a short time.¡±


    Everyone: ¡°YES!¡±


    Ninuro was a good leader and perfect bait. One pack after another was lured into this deathly trap. The change in our formation worked really well. The wolfs didn''t knew what hit them, until it was to late. Most of them were knocked down by Manfred, then bonded by my flame strings. Stragglers were eliminated first, then the ones howling in distress were put down with swift attacks to the head. We had already hunted down 47 of these silver wolfs, just 3 more to go~ A Ninuro was coming with the last pack!


    Ninuro: ¡°RUN AWAY!!!¡±


    Everyone: ¡°?!¡±


    Behind Ninuro was a pack of roughly over 30 Silver Wolfs. But that wasn''t the biggest issue. One of these wolfs had a abnormal size of 9 meters length and double the normal height!


    Ninruo: ¡°JACKY, FIRE UP SOME FLAME MAGIC! START RUNNING!!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°AH YES!¡±


    I started running into the direction that Raffle was going. He was already shooting arrows at the wolfs. Manfred was cursing and picking up speed, while going around the hill.


    I finished forming some compressed flame magic and set it off. It didn''t matter if the wolfs fur was damaged or not. That wasn''t a issue now. With some loud explosions, the flame magic set off.


    Ninuro: ¡°KEEP RUNNING! THE BIG ONE IS UNSCATHED!¡±


    WHAT? I looked back over my shoulder to see just that abnormal silver wolf still chasing Ninuro. Every other enemy, was caught up in the row of explosions I had set off. I could see from afar, that Ninuro''s skin had some blisters. The heat from the explosion must have been intense. Gaping in shock I watched what happened next. I stopped my movement. The big one, caught up to Ninuro and with a movement of it''s paw. It blew away Ninuro''s upper body. Simply like that. As if it was made out of foam. It was gone in a flash.


    Manfred: ¡°JACKY!!¡±


    Manfred reached me and lifted me off the ground. He carried me in an unsightly way. Just flung me over his shoulders and never stooped to run. You can''t run! Did you see what it did?! I couldn''t speak my thoughts. I just started with empty eyes at the big body, that was fast approaching us.


    Raffle: ¡°AHHHHHH!! TAKE THIS!!!!¡±


    Raffle was firing 3 arrows at the same time in rapid succession. These arrows were repelled with an metallic sound by the enemy¡¯s fur. Because Raffle stopped in his movement, Manfred was already running way ahead of him. While standing still Raffle watched me smiling. In the next moment my mind registered that Raffle was gone, exactly the same as Ninuro.


    The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    Manfred: ¡°SHHHHHIIIIIITTTTT!!!¡±


    Just drop me already! I already tried attacking that one, shortly after Raffle''s death. I shot mindlessly at it with uncountable flame needles, flame stakes and compressed flame magic. But it did only slow it down by a small margin. Most of my attacks were either repelled or just absorbed by the silver fur. The fur was glowing orange-red, like metal being worked in a blacksmiths oven. My barrage of flame magic was kept up, but it was just a waste of [mana]. I noticed the paw flashing to us.


    Manfred: ¡°RUN!!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°AH!¡±


    I was thrown by Manfred. While being in air I saw the last one of my teammates being killed in a flash.


    Jacky: ¡°UFF!¡±


    I fell hard on the ground, sliding a good bit. I want to kill that bastard! With a determination to take him down, even if I die. I stood up using power magic unconsciously. My bones were breaking under the pressure of new muscle mass forming up. But then being mended as they were just replaced by better, stronger examples of bones. Pulsating veins were visible all over my body, glowing red from the high pressurized blood pumping through them.


    Jacky: ¡°AHHHHHRRRHHHHHH!!!¡±


    I charged mindlessly at the enemy. The paw was moving to kill me, like the others. But this time it''s movement seemed slow. Like a slow motion, I could see it''s track unfolding. Without much thought, a flame shield formed where the paw would hit me. While big and uneven flame stakes were shooting from my right hand in rapid succession.


    Jacky: ¡°ARGH!¡±


    Big Silver Wolf: ¡°GRRRR!¡±


    I was hit by the paw attack, but most of the force was absorbed by the flame shield. Which broke under the pressure of the attack. My body was launched at the ground, but before I hit the ground. Flames enveloped me and cushioned the blunt damage by a good amount. The big Silver Wolf, hadn''t had that much luck. A greater amount of flame stakes were lodged in one of it''s eyes. It was glaring at me with hateful intent. I scored a hit, but it wasn''t deep enough to kill it. While regaining my rational thought process. My sworn enemy charged at me once again. This time his mouth was opened wide and he clearly wanted to chew down on me! NOT WITH ME!


    Big Silver Wolf: ¡°ARRUUUGG!!!¡±


    HA! Flame string was wrapped around it''s mouth and forelegs. It needed to slow down and crouch a bit to reach me with an bite attack. So I had managed to lunch a successful attack. Intensive burning sounds were heard. While the one entangled freed it''s legs with shear force.


    Jacky: ¡°DAMN!¡±


    I began lunching more of the bigger version of flame stakes. Which were dodged by it, with a good margin of movement to spare. Still the flame string around it''s mouth and the big flame stakes in it''s eye. Were burning into it''s flesh!


    Rough Voice: ¡°Stop hurting this one! Kill the evil ones!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°!!!¡±


    While my battle went on with this abomination of an silver wolf. A voice echoed in my mind.


    Rough Voice: ¡°I don''t wish to fight you! Kill the evil ones!¡±


    What are you saying stupid! You¡¯re the evil one!


    Rough Voice: ¡°I''m used to hurt you, against my will! Kill the evil ones, not this one!


    Jacky: ¡°Wait! You''re speaking in my mind! Stop that! I can''t concentrate!¡±


    Aww, that was close. I barely managed to avoid being tackled. Take this, remembering the razor disc, I finally shot out some of these. But they were just scratching the surface of the silver fur. Damn! I need something with more power.


    Rough Voice: ¡°The evil ones are hiding close by! Take them out and I will let you go!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Shut up!¡±


    I fired countless flame magic''s at the enemy and it''s surrounding.


    Jacky: ¡°!!!¡±


    Rough Voice: ¡°There they are, did this one see them!¡±


    I saw a round sphere flashing up in the rain of fire that poured down on the large area behind the big silver wolfs body. He had dodged it and thereby revealed something hiding there! Doesn''t matter if it''s true or not, die ASSHOLES!! A concentrated onslaught of flame magic of all kinds, poured down on the spot of the invisible enemy. Two figures were jumping away from it.


    Rough Voice: ¡°Finally! I''m freed! Let my mouth free, so that I can eat these bastards!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°SHUT UP! SHUT UP!! SHUT UP!!!¡±


    I jumped over to the two figures that I could make out. Ignoring the other enemy, as it stooped it''s attack for the moment. My mind is going crazy! Talking Monsters, sure!


    Firing flame stakes at the newly found enemy, while still being in air from an jump of Olympic grade. I could see how one of them was being ripped to pieces from the impact of a bunch of these flame stakes. While the other one, shielded itself with a water barrier. The voice I heard ¡­. was familiar.


    Jacky: ¡°MR. STEINSWORTH!¡±


    It was him. I could see him roughly through the steam that was dispersing. He managed to deflect my attack, as this flame magic wasn''t hot enough to evaporated all of the water.


    Mr. Steinsworth: ¡° ¡­. die heretic!! By the blessing of the immortal god''s, water forming alAUUGGHH!!!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°MR. STEINSWORTH!!!¡±


    Flame strings were wrapped tightly around that fucker, before he could finish his chant. I got closer to him, while he was screaming in agony.


    Jacky: ¡°TELL ME WHY!!¡±


    Mr. Steinsworth: ¡°AuuHHAHHAUU!¡±


    I let the flame string disperse and rammed my feet down on the hand, that was still holding a staff up till now. Sounding like a broken record I kept repeating myself.


    Jacky: ¡°TELL ME WHY!! TELL ME!!! TELL ME!!!¡±


    Mr. Steinsworth lost consciousness duo the high amount of pain, from all the burnt skin and flesh.


    Jacky: ¡°FUCK!¡±


    I kept trampling down on his hand. The sound of bones breaking didn''t stop my rage one bit. But I could hear someone getting closer to me!


    Rough Voice: ¡°Don''t attack me! I''m not at fault! That one which is already in pieces, made me attack you! Free this ones mouth, or I will attack you!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°SERIOUSLY!¡±


    I fired of flame magic at that incompetent idiotic wolf. How could you let yourself being controlled by these. You killed my friends! The ones I just met and respected as my senior adventurers!


    Rough Voice: ¡°Stop that!!¡±


    I didn''t stop attacking him. And our fight continued for more then 2 hours.


    Jacky: ¡°Hahaha....¡±


    Rough Voice: ¡°Ha ¡­. you can''t win. But your skills are impressive! Let me free, I promise to leave you alone!¡±


    We were both on our last breaths. I was bleeding a bit and my left arm was broken. He had a huge amount of flame stakes stuck in his side now. And the silver furs fluffiness decreased a good bit. He looked more like a red glowing fire wolf now, then one that had fur of silver.


    Jacky: ¡°Never!¡±


    I didn''t even had enough energy to yell anymore. My voice was rougher then the one in my had. Like a string that kept pressing down, with it''s spikes anchored in my throat.


    Jacky: ¡°!¡±


    I got it! With a glance at the wolfs mouth. I commanded the flame strings there, too form spikes and penetrate deeper!


    Rough Voice: ¡°AH!! STOP! YOU WILL KILL ME!!!¡±


    The flame stakes too melted and got closer to the fur. Putting pressure on it, fine threads of flames were penetrating through the fur deep into the flesh.


    Rough Voice: ¡°STOP STOP! THIS ONE GIVES UP! YOUR THE WINNER!¡±


    While rolling on the ground to rub off the flames on it''s side. It tried to rub of the flames on it''s mouth with violent paw movements.


    Rough Voice: ¡°I WILL DO EVERYTHING YOU WANT!! STOP KILLING ME!!! THIS ONE WANTS REVENGE TOO!!!¡±


    I stooped to advance the flames. And retracted them to the level of the fur again.


    Jacky: ¡°You want revenge?¡±


    Rough Voice: ¡°Y-yes. This one was used against it''s will. Many of my children were killed by myself. I want revenge against the humans behind it!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°I did kill many of your kind too!¡±


    Rough Voice: ¡°In battle head to head! Not cowardly hiding and manipulating this one!!¡±


    ¡­. that monster can''t be trusted.


    Rough Voice: ¡°This one can be trusted. The small human is stronger than this one. But it''s nose is bad.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Stop reading my mind! And what do you mean with my nose is bad!¡±


    Rough Voice: ¡°Smell of liars and the smell that hangs onto these ones, will lead this one to the responsible!¡±


    Who''s responsible ¡­. the queen? Why ¡­. that can''t be. I may not be on good terms with her, but still she needs me.


    Rough Voice: ¡°I see, the small one already knows the true enemy! Lead us to the fight!¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    I sat down myself on the now burned ground. While sighing out aloud. That monster before me, wasn''t showing any intention of hurting me. I could feel it. It was sincere hate for the one responsible ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. I will lead you to the one who is responsible. But for doing so, you will become my underling forever!¡±


    Rough Voice: ¡°This one isn''t the pawn of anyone!!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°You want to die then?!¡±


    From a majestic pose of lifting it''s head and showing teeth. It sunk back it''s head onto it''s forelegs. Dropping it''s ears and wagging it''s tail in defeat. We stayed like that for quite sometime. I thought about what just had happened. I could have defended them ¡­. no, I barely managed to defend myself and counter attack. I''m going to grill that stupid queen, if she was involved in this.


    Rough Voice: ¡° ¡­. this one will be at your command ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Good ¡­.¡±


    I stood up and moved slowly to the camp site. Without some healing potions and bandages, even these wounds could be a serious problem.


    Jacky: ¡°HEY!¡±


    Rough Voice: ¡°Let me carry you.¡±


    ¡­. I was being lifted up like a newborn puppy. My leather jacket was etched onto the lips of the big silver wolf. Ah, at least I will reach camp faster this way. He really doesn''t mean me any harm ¡­. Putting me down close to the still slightly burning campfire. I again was reminded of what I lost.


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Rummaging around in my things. I emptied out all the potions I had on me. The bandage was applied to the bleeding wound, with a good pressure to still the bleeding. Still, this isn''t helping much. The healing effect was only minor.


    Rough Voice: ¡°This one is badly hurt too. The smell of potions are still in some of these bags.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Yes, because these are the ones ¡­. from my dead friends.¡±


    Rough Voice: ¡° ¡­. Is it better to die?¡±


    He was right. At least partially. Manfred, Ninuro and Raffle had no use for their stuff. So I started searching the other bags for healing potions. I found a variety of better ones in a flash. After chucking down two, that had a white milky color. I could feel flesh burning ¡­. small cuts and the wound I bleed from slowly started to regenerate.


    Jacky: ¡°Here take this.¡±


    I gave the rest of the potions to my new underling. As he couldn''t hold them. I poured it into it''s mouth. Looking at the sharp fangs, let me have a cold chill down on my spine.


    Rough Voice: ¡°This one thanks you. Knowing the fault lays with not resisting the cursed magic of humans.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. what''s your name. I''m Jacky, but call me Master.¡±


    Rough Voice: ¡°Ah name? This one doesn''t need a name. Name''s are just something lesser creatures are making up.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Watch your mouth, one of these still can kill you.¡±


    Watching him, I came up with a name that fit. He, this will do.


    Jacky: ¡°Your name will be Waldy.¡±


    Waldy: ¡°THIS ONE DENYS THAT!!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Why isn''t Waldy fitting?¡±


    Waldy: ¡°In the small ones mind, Waldy is a name for a tiny dog! This one is a mighty being of this forest and plains!!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Your my lapdog now, so Waldy is fine. Be glad I didn''t pick a degrading one like Woof or Mc. Pant.¡±


    Waldy: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    That name really suits him. In the end, a wolf is just a dog too. After listening to his complains about his name. I gave him the job to collect the remains of my teammates and the dead body¡¯s of the silver wolfs. I skinned 3 of these silver wolfs for the fur, then I burned all the corpses to ashes.


    Jacky: ¡°May you rest in peace. Please be guided to a better world next time.¡±


    Waldy was watching me without any comment. I bundled the 50 pieces of silver fur together and collected all the bags with our equipment.


    Jacky: ¡°I''m sorry guys.¡±


    Waldy: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    While looking down on the 3 badges, I couldn''t even cry. I put them into my chest pocket and ordered Waldy to carry everything. With some ropes and makeshifts reins, I was now seated atop of Waldy. While the bags and the silver fur stack, were hung on his sides. Mr. Steinsworth was gagged and bound. I fastened him to the ropes, that were holding the bags.


    Waldy: ¡°This one isn''t a mount ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Just shut up and get moving. I''m not in a state to move through the dungeon levels.¡±


    Waldy: ¡° ¡­. no ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Come on will you! Or do I need to make myself some flame string reins for you?!¡±


    Waldy: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    With some hesitation, Waldy was setting of towards the gate I just entered this dungeon part yesterday. His speed was really fast. In just 15 Minutes we had already reached the second dungeon floor. Moving through this one was done in a flash too. Goblins kept running away from us. From time to time, Waldy just gulped down some stragglers. Making nasty nasal noises in the process.


    Jacky: ¡°You''re enjoying hunting these way too much ¡­.¡±


    Waldy: ¡°This one is hungry, so there''s no problem.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Just don''t eat any adventurers when I am not looking. And add Master, you need to know where you''re standing now!¡±


    Waldy: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    I need to discipline this dogy. To bad for him, that my father was a animal freak. We had 11 husky¡¯s and a bunch of cats. Even eagles, foxes, rabbits and other wild life ended up at our home. He always found some wounded ones, nursed them back to health and freed them after they regained enough strength. So I had learned the body language and the means of taming down wild animals, since I was a kid.


    Waldy: ¡°This one is not a pet!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°It''s ''This one is not a pet, Master!'' get it right.¡±


    I shot out a flame needle in while pressing my hand into his fur. He cried out with a small voice, through his mouth and not his telepathy. I need to be clear on who¡¯s the one in charge. This shouldn''t hurt that much.


    Waldy: ¡°This one doesn''t deserve to be hurt!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Wrong again.¡±


    Waldy: ¡°Stop it! That is painful and it itches!!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Wrong again.¡±


    It went on like this, till we reached the gate to the staircase which was leading up to the first dungeon floor. He finally added Master at the end of his sentences. And kept complains to himself. You can''t really think of complaining, when there''s noting wrong done to you.


    While climbing the stairs, Waldy gave me a warning.


    Waldy: ¡°This one smells [humans] ahead of us, Master.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Good work. Don''t attack them, let me talk.¡±


    I was rubbing his skin behind the ears. As sign of gratitude for saying it right and telling me important things. Skillfully I used my secret attack move, that I perfected while harassing Ari. Looking over my shoulders I could only grin.


    Waldy: ¡°This one isn''t a dog!! Master, stop treating this one as a lowly dog!!!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°You like being caressed behind the ears. So just be at ease. Or do you like being skewered by [flame magic] more?¡±


    Waldy: ¡° ¡­. Master is thinking this one is just a dog! That angers this one!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Good boy~¡±


    Haha~ Ah, I finally can laugh a bit again. I still feel empty from losing my new found friends. But I can''t revive the death, I will mourn them. As soon as I tortured the one responsible to death.


    Waldy: ¡° ¡­. Master can be quite cruel, so this one wont complain ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Stop reading my mind. It''s weird when you know everything I think of.¡±


    Waldy: ¡° ¡­. this one wants to finish the enemy ¡­. so don''t bake that one over a fireplace ¡­. Master.¡±


    Jacky: ¡° ¡­. seriously stop with the mind reading. Do you need that to talk to me via telepathy?¡±


    While being engrossed in our conversation. Waldy stopped before a group of adventurers that got into battle stance.


    Male Adventurer 1: ¡°WHY IS A MONSTER ABLE TO PASS THE GATE!!¡±


    Female Adventurer 1: ¡°O holy light of life, grant us a barrier to protect us from evil [Light Barrier]!!¡±


    Male Adventurer 2: ¡°Damn Arrows aren''t penetrating at all!!¡±


    I moved up to Waldy''s head and stood there. While waving my hand to the three Adventurers on the ground.


    Jacky: ¡°Hello there, please stop with the attacks. This is my pet dog Waldy, not a Monster.¡±


    Adventurer Party: ¡°!!!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°As you can see he is tame. Please move aside, I need to go through.¡±


    The Adventurer Party was showing looks of disbelief, but the barrier that was blocking the way was lifted. I tapped Waldy''s head with my hand and he went on. I could here these three mumbling about something.


    Female Adventurer 1: ¡°That can''t be ¡­. Monsters can''t cross the gates ¡­.¡±


    So normally Monsters aren''t able to  go to other dungeon floors? That''s quite interesting, so how does Waldy manage to go through?


    Waldy: ¡°This one doesn''t know, Master.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°I didn''t ask you. Stop with the mind reading already, it''s starting to make me mad!¡±


    Waldy: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    I trampled down with my feet on his head. That wasn''t enough to even be felt by Waldy, but it clearly showed effect. While running through the first dungeon floor, many beginner Adventurers were screaming in panic. As soon as they saw a gigantic wolf with silver fur approaching. These Adventurers scrambled like ants into all direction. I didn''t even get a chance to tell them that Waldy isn''t going to hunt them down. Even so ¡­.


    Jacky: ¡°Stop chasing them mindlessly!¡±


    Waldy: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Waldy was not running in a straight line to the next gate. He was mostly going after the Adventurers that screamed the loudest. Like playing with them, he slowed down to match their speed. Running just a bit behind them. Jumping before them in the next moment, changing the Adventurers course of escape. And continuing to play around with them, till they dropped from exhaustion. My voice didn''t reach these Adventurers ¡­. they were to scared to listen. But after shooting of some flame needles into his back skin. Waldy stopped with that and we rushed through the first dungeon floor. In just a matter of less then 1 hour, I arrived at the surface again.


    Mix of Voices: ¡°GUARDS!!¡± ¡°MONSTER ATTACK!!¡± ¡°AHHHH!! RUN!!¡±


    Many unfamilar voices were panicking. While we crossed the first dungeon floor, it became night time. So we didn''t encounter that many Adventurers on our way up. But now on the ground level of the Adventurer Guild. A huge mass of people was running around like headless chickens. Some were falling, others were trampling over them while fleeing. Guard like people were just running for their life¡¯s. I tried to calm then down.


    Jacky: ¡°HEY LISTEN!! LOOK!! HE''s NOT ATTACKING YOU!!¡±


    Didn''t matter. Some Adventurers shot up Arrows at Waldy. Daggers and spear came flying too. But these were repelled by the silver fur without leaving a scratch on it. Argh, okay take this!


    Everyone: ¡°!!!!!¡±


    I shot out some compressed flame magic, with the intent to make a flash and some noise. It worked out pretty well. After the explosion, people started to finally recognize that there''s a [human] a top the head of the Monster.


    Jacky: ¡°THIS ONE IS MY PET DOG!! STOP WITH THE ATTACKS IDIOTS!!¡±


    Everyone: ¡°!!!!!¡±


    The panick continued for a bit, but soon it calmed down. Some heavily decorated guard came closer to Waldy and me, with a bunch of the Adventurer Guild employees.


    Gaudy Guard: ¡°What are you doing here?!¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Returning from the dungeon, what else.¡±


    Gaudy Guard: ¡° ¡­. w-what''s up with this Monster ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°It''s my pet dog Waldy. Waldy, paw!¡±


    Waldy: ¡° ¡­.¡±


    Waldy with some hesitation was doing exactly what I had envisioned. He sat down on his behind and made a movement, like wanting to shake hands with the Gaudy Guard.


    Gaudy Guard: ¡° ¡­. this ¡­.¡±


    Uniformed Woman: ¡°AH! I know you.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Oh hello, thanks for last time.¡±


    The misunderstanding got cleared in a short discussion. I was given a repair bill for the wooden floor tiles, that Waldy broke. And everything moved onto normal business. Not exactly normal, people were gathering around Waldy. Touching his fur or just observing him from afar. While he laid down close to the stairs leading to the upper level of the Adventurer guild. With an expression of discomfort. I told him to stay still and wait there, so keep it up.


    Gaudy Guard: ¡°So ¡­. this man attacked you and your companions. While you were hunting for silver fur.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Yes.¡±


    Gaudy Guard: ¡°And you managed to tame that Monster ¡­.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°Yes?¡±


    Gaudy Guard: ¡° ¡­. this is unbelievable ¡­. but the evidence is clear. So you''re the [hero] ¡­. that explains why you were able to get through the gates together with a Monster.¡±


    Jacky: ¡°How so?¡±


    Gaudy Guard: ¡°The gates magic, recognizes foes and friends. So that summoners, can move into the dungeon with their summons. So the same applies to that Monster of yours. As the gate felt the bond between Master and Servant.¡±


    I talked a good bit with that Gaudy Guard, I didn''t care for his name. So I just ignored the information of his introduction. While waiting for the quest rewards for the goblin extermination and the silver fur gathering. I got some useful information from him. Waldy was a Greater Silver Wolf, a being that was old enough to amount to a few hundredth years. These ones were rare and nearly never sighted. As they would let the smaller ones hunt for them, secluding themselves in some hideout. The Gaudy Guard also send out some people to inform Olward of my return. I explicit asked to not inform anyone else from the palace, as to not needlessly worry them. That at least was the reason I gave to him ¡­.
