>Other thread still up, but new part is better with a new thread

Greeting elegan/tg/entleman.

Last time was rather dramatic, for we learned that Sylphis wounds were poisoned on top of being they’re grievous state.
And after a brief talk with one of the captain of the police force, not only did we learn that the mantis was daughter to the old man Keldran, but we were handed a ‘’potion of induced vampirism’’ whose effect are as ominous as it sound, but at the very least it would have been one solution to save the girl.

We’ve opted for redoing the ‘’feat’’ accomplished back in Hadraniel shrine, that is consuming the Holy energy poisoning her and by gods, it worked thank to the angel quick thinking but this second nature of yours seem to have awakened an ugly side, but you don’t care too much for now, the poison was eaten, Holy energy is not harmful to humans so, overall, you are in the clear.

Right?
>>
You’ve got a little way to go before ending up outside, in the cold night air of the eternal autumn, but for now you are simply weighing the option of resting, your body tell you that it is tired both mentally and physically but you are certainly no stranger to pushing yourself and right now, these agents are still on the loose and if you want to reach Tanu as fast as possible to use her network of informant and tightening the noose…

At your side is one of the captain, a tall jovial man with a childish smile but sharp eyes and mind, his garment of red make him stand out in this large hallway now completely deserted, the only wounded is Sylphis and she is perfectly stable now so the need of healer and nurse is almost null.
Hadraniel is simply looking ahead, toward the door leading outside, always firm and solemn.

Hell it seem she already forgotten your little jab, how sad…

But she made your point clear: if you are to exit and head into the city, she will follow suit, leaving the Oomukade here alone.

What do you wish to do for tonight, Siegfried Shieffer?
>>
So much for getting some sleep.
>>
>>19337996
Can't we simply ask one of the guards to bring whoever we were supposed to meet in the city to the castle?

Get some rest.

We still have much to discuss in the day, tomorrow and both us and Hadraniel must be exhausted after taking out the poison.

I say we rest. Besides, it would be bad to leave the Oomukade alone.

Sounds good. Send out a note to them. Then grab our angel and oversized centipede and go to sleep.

‘’Sir’’

You snap at attention, turning to the taller man whose smile is simply unending; it’s really strange to see someone so cheerful is such a position.

‘’Zen! You don’t have to be so formal, I like you, Ambassador, if you wish to use my full name, then use Zenxa!’’

You and Hadraniel simply stare at him and he chuckle to himself and nod… what’s up with him?

‘’A tanuki by the name of Tanu should have arrived in the city this evening, if you wish I could pinpoint you to her location’’

Your voice sound a bit tired, you didn’t want to let it slip but tonight is starting to take its toll.

The captain suddenly frowns, his sharp eyes looking straight into yours before cracking another smile.

‘’I think Keldran himself, or his second in command, actually went to her. She’s known to the police, Ambassador, best to leave it at that’’

So he says as he folds his arms on his chest.
>>
Another thread so soon? I'm ok with this.

"Known to the police?’’

You start, leveling the taller man with a stare as his face grow serious, the sudden change in atmosphere cause Hadraniel to move at your side but the man is unimpressed by her deploying winds and her long spear of gold, blue and silver.

This man is solid, at the very least.

‘‘In a good way or a bad way? With the oncoming storm, her expertise will likely be what we will need."

The man narrows his eyes for a moment before breaking into another large smile.

‘’A good way of course! It’s just that I can’t’ exactly explain why she’s known to us, you are trusted with secrets and so am I’’

He suddenly gives you a brief bow.

‘’I’m sorry for this brief hostility, Ambassador, would you like to rest for tonight?’’

…all things considered this guy might actually be a good man.
>>
>>19338224
Probably best if we get some rest. No point exhausting ourselves at the moment.

"Then, my apologies. I was afraid that she might come to harm.

Your statement somehow spread his grin even wider, but you’ve got to admit you’re not sure to liking your tired voice, did that consumption tire you out that bad?

‘’I see, would you like me to show you to your room?

No, I know just where to go, thank’’

The captain nod and start to walk without any further message, prompting Hadraniel to speak.

‘’Then it is good night?’’

She seem tired too, you simply nod but quickly add.

‘’Bring Bletsia here’’

The angel tilt her head in puzzlement and her face show her wary emotion, but it seem she trust you enough to obey your wish.

You set to work in her absence, Sylphis room is needlessly large and there a bunch of unused beds right in the facing infirmary, so you invited yourself in, grabbed the mattress and plopped them on the ground, when you heard the clicking step of the angel you already had enough of them jumbled together to make a futon, and now you were taking the sheets while feeling cheerful, but you had to stop yourself when you saw the two girls.

The sleepy centipede was adorable to look at, her messy dark purple hair and half closed eyes, the way her hand was barely grasping Hadraniel and the various sway in her numerous little legs as her insect body swayed like a serpent was comical and cute, the grin on Hadraniel was also quite something but when she saw you armful of sheets she stopped, but the centipede didn’t and collided into her solid back without so much as a click of metal.

‘’Um…’’

You grin at her and walk inside the room.

‘’Were sleeping here, all of us’’

The bed you’ve made is more than large enough!

Sleeping between the two of them brought you such an incredible sense of security; you dozed off so fast it’s a miracle you even remember lying down, but the angel was rather funny to look at, you couldn’t help a small giggle, she’s rather easy to convince, really.

--

The dead of night, early morning, the castle activity had quieted down and the infirmary was beautifully quiet, warm and comfortable, and you most of all, pressed between the two of them…

But something rustle you awake, it’s a movement, a small but it’s there nonetheless and as your eyes flutter open and you look, the celestial being is in her clothes, rubbing her face as she sit at the edge of the large, large bed, on her knee is the spear of great colors and then, without a sound, she lift herself and walk to the door while grabbing the lantern, her step echoes down the hall and you…

>Like in every piece of fiction, that happen offscreen

A warm wave of weariness settle upon you, your eyelid close by themselves but… but this curiosity, going out at night like this, when previously she was sleeping?

And so you get out of bed, slowly, but you’re used to this, the increasing darkness is no handicap, the door was left half open, so slipping is easy when you’re careful, and there not even a cracking when your body move it, it is hard to be lithe of movement when you’re weary after all.

She’s easy to spot, the angel, her whole celestial being stand proudly at the end of the hall, lantern and wings spreading a light in the complete darkness while her free hand is holding the long spear, blunt part on the ground as the large double door of woods are opened, allowing the breeze to set in.

‘’And so here you are, Stalker’’

Her voice is unlike anything you’ve ever heard, it’s scary, very, very scary and cold but that’s not all.

Whatever it is she’s looking it, it’s very presence, even if you can’t look at it, squeeze terror in your heart and you simply want to go back in the room and sleep it away.

You put a hand on your heart, it beat steadily, a thump… thump…thump… it won’t go away, this fear, this ice in your veins is not something that will kill you, and the good angel is looking straight at it, facing it without hesitation, her wing hide any shadow from whatever it could be, and so you approach, slowly, stealthily.

‘’Tis be, yous angel, here to taunt’’

That voice is disembodied, impossibly angry yet speaking in the deepest of voice imaginable, as if a below coming from the earth and its entirely unnatural, your heart squeeze, tears form in your eyes but you press on, slowly, so very slowly.

‘’Why not settled it?’’

She reply with her voice of ice and murderous confidence, the spear quit its resting place as she point it forward, the small click is resonating in the hallway and you feel so hopelessly alone, even if the castle is full of gentle persons.

‘’Army, here to taunt, yous be protected’’

Again this voice, hollow, a simulacrum of humanity that should NOT be here, the tone is uneven, sometime even becoming slightly feminine.

‘’Then speak, for next we meet I will kill you’’

And finally you can look at it.

And the only thing to see is naught but the shadows, an impossibly tall and large humanoid form cloaked in unnatural black, stinking an impossible odor of decay, all around it, the shadow were seemingly eating the light of the lamp and tendrils of black goo extended to the angels whose great white wings of purity seemingly acted as bulwark, it is impossible to effectively describe what is at your front, it is simply there, yet also ephemeral.
>cont

‘’Try it, Hero’’

His voice is suddenly clear, for just a brief, brief moment, but you feel so much dread that you can’t voice anything.

‘’Both of us relic, you forgot. Forgot your mentor, forgot your comrades. But me, I stay. Relic’’

There a slight movement from Hadraniel spear arm, she reached out just a little.

‘’If you have something to say, speak now!’’

So much hatred… aah the angel is very, very hateful toward the entity, you can’t help it, tears fall down your eyes but the echo of your sob is muffled by your hands.

‘’Nightmare, little Hero. You, this anchor, are to fear the night for I am your curse, olds relics unfit for this era, we be’’

And then the presence of the creature is gone, with it the terror that was crippling your heart, but Hadraniel stand tall, proud and so impossibly strong with her wings renewing your hope and then she turn and look, straight at you, her face is hard but her eyes are kind, that why you trust her.

‘’I’m sorry you had to witness this, Bletsia’’

She says, but you don’t exactly understand, not yet.

‘’Let’s go back and sleep, alright?’’

She speaks like your mother…

It was Bletsia that woke up and went to investigate Hadraniel slipping away. Siegfried was asleep the whole time, we just switched point of view.

‘’Hmm…’’

A bit of a grunt, still you slept like a log and no strange dreams to boot, that’s something to be cheerful about, however you don’t feel anything warm at your side, hey you were sleeping right next to that centipede, and she’s giving you the cold shoulder?

Still, this is one large bed.

But when you open your eyes, you see the angel and the centipede sleeping close to one another, the smaller insect has her arms wrapped right around Hadraniel waist with her head on her tummy, while the angel has simply one hand behind the Centipede dark, purple hair and both of them are sleeping soundly.


This is a nice picture for the morning.

Still you’ve always been an early riser so this might not be so different and slowly, yyou get out of the bed while cracking back, neck while adding grunts, but you look at Sylphis bed for a moment and she’s fine, asleep and ju-

It’s impossible to remove that smile, you’re simply staring right at the mantis but your heart is thumping with emotions and hell, you feel your eyes waters a bit so you make sure to move to her, the link tell you of some shame, but most of her emotions are very well guarded, but when you try to put your hand on her head, the mantis suddenly but the cover right above her head and stay there, motionless

‘’…morning Sylphis’’

‘’Morning Siegfried’’

You say, adding a chuckle as you simply look at her for a moment, her childish actions warm your heart and, at the very least, she’s going to be okay and that’s cheering you right up.

‘’Maybe’’

She answers, slowly slipping the cover at eye level so you can look at her in her yellow pupils.

"Is anything hurting?’’

You opt to sit at her side and, strangely, the mantis put the cover right above her face once more while the link shower you with a sudden, warm and strong emotion. Is it embarrassment?

‘’Feelings rather… sluggish, weak, each breath tend to hurt a bit, so no nothing is painful’’

Well she does have two serious thoracic injuries… But she can speak to you without any strain in her voice, that spider healer, maybe you’ve under estimated her, she really did something incredible.

‘’I’m glad you’re alright’’

You say simply, opting to touch her forehead with your finger and provoking a grunt in response from the mantis while her emotions seem to be increasing in strength.

‘’I’m sorry for my incompetence’’

She suddenly says, still with the sheet above her face, the morning has settled and behind you, the two girls are still sleeping soundly.

You are certain what it is you’re glaring at, but it’s certainly not the young centipede shielding herself from your eyes, she’s ashamed that much is certain to you, and right now she’s guarding her emotions and doing it efficiently, but you slowly approach the girl and, with one finger, tug at the sheets, making her let go forcing the two of you to look without obstacle.

‘’Have we not discussed this before?’’

She simply looks away, but you don’t say anything, all you do is approach the wounded girl and wrap your arms around her small back, gently pulling her up and squeezing very, very softly.

‘’Sylphis, I’m willing to listen if you wish to share why I found you in such a state’’

The silence is rather long, but the mantis emotions are vibrant, if silent, her eyes waters and leak, but she simply grit her teeth and feel frustrated for only a moment.

‘’There were… three women, one was the tanned I was supposed to follow, and the other was a swordswoman that I didn’t get a good look at and the last one…’’

She stop as her voice die in her throat.

‘’I-I couldn’t really… get much information out of them, out of her, I don’t know I should have kept a clear head, but the only thing I was thinking was… I just wanted to live...for the most part’’

She suddenly stop, the bag had only just began to spill, but the mantis stop and take a deep, deep breath.

‘’But I failed, the last one, the one that wounded me, her name was Belvedere and she was scarred.’’

A flame of dormant hatred suddenly explodes in you, but you make certain to not give any outward expression even if Sylphis simply voice her astonishment at you feelings.
>cont

Belvedere, you know this name.

Back when you were in the college, after the week you spent with Avina, the one responsible for her being taken away from you were three agents of the church and one among them was a tall, proud and rather boisterous blond women that made certain to root out corruption wherever it was hidden, that meant getting rid of the Yukionna.

Of course, when your mother found out about it, two of those three agents died, Mana Shieffer took on a trio of the Church Hunters and crushed them, and that itself could have become quite the nasty incident but this is another story.

‘’I see…’’

Your voice is hoarse.

‘’Siegfried… I’m not sure if I’m fit as your bodyguard, and I’m not speaking out of self-pity’’

She does seem resolute in her decision.

"Why would say that?"

For being rash, or not being able to defeat that thrice-damned whore? Being calm in the storm does not come easily, only with harsh experience will the lesson truly be taught; in that you have already completed that step. The next you fight, you will be calmer and be able to make an informed decision on the fly.

As for that woman... She is a agent of the Church... a hunter, a slayer. That you survived is... a miracle... She is not someone to face lightly or alone.

"Rather than you not being fit for my bodyguard, I wonder if I'm just a poor leader. Multiples times now I've sent you into danger that has got you nearly killed."

You see, not facing her, simply squeezing the scaled girl a bit on your chest, she’s pretty warm… Still, you give her a light, very light tap behind her head as you break the hug and look at her straight in the eyes, seem like tears leaked out.

‘’Don’t say anything yet, Sylphis. I wonder, first of all, why would you say that? For being rash, or not being able to defeat that thrice-damned whore? Being calm in the storm does not come easily, only with harsh experience will the lesson truly be taught; in that you have already completed that step. The next you fight, you will be calmer and be able to make an informed decision on the fly.’’

The mantis doesn’t seem able to look at you in the eyes, you let go of her shoulders, simply looking at her face and not the rather thin garments she has been placed in, but the silence has its effect has some emotions, more warm and cheerful, batter the self-pity that was clouding her judgment.

‘’As for that woman... She is an agent of the Church... a hunter, a slayer. That you survived is... a miracle... She is not someone to face lightly or alone.’’
>cont

I will kill that woman if I can.

You don’t add that, but you hatred and hard face betray your feelings very well and Sylphis simply stare at you.

‘’You did well, Sylphis and most of all you are my comrade-in-arms and dear friend. One to be proud to fight alongside with not to be shielded by."

You can hear some activity in the hallway, the castle is slowly waking up for the morning and a busy day but Sylphis is embarrassed at your words, but also doubtful, her eyes are fleeting, she look at her scaled hand for a moment, her scythes, her scales…

‘’I-it’s just… I was certain to die and well… I-I saw’’

She cough, interrupting her speech and look away, hell she go back to bed, putting the cover above herself and turn her back to you, pouting.

And you spend some minutes just staring at her; she’s changing, little by little.

‘’I saw Hadraniel leaving tonight, or this morning I’m not sure’’

The mantis suddenly says.

‘’Anyway what will you do today Siegfried?’’

Her voice is muffled; she’s going to be stubborn in not facing you.

"First, I'm going to have breakfast with my companions, who I am very lucky to have."

Today? Today I shall prepare for the journey back home. The queen has agreed to an alliance and intends to travel back with us to cement the agreement. There are a few things I need to take care off before we leave however, finding out more information about your attackers and their whereabouts being one of them.

"I still have my duties to perform here before we return home. Rest up and get better."

Question for everyone, should we tell Slyphis who her dad is or have Keldran tell her himself? I'm for the latter and making sure that old man meets her before we leave.

First up should be meeting Tanu if shes here? If not, we should finish our negotiations with the Queen and the Regent.

When Hadreniel wakes up, we should ask her to help us research our ability in the palace library. That should help ensure our privacy and net us information.
>>
>>19340274

You feel nothing, beside the fact that you know she's alive and the general direction of her location.
>>
>>19340300
I think we should try to talk to Keldran on our own and have him tell her himself. If that fails, perhaps we can tell her.

Otherwise yes, let's hit up Tanu if she is around.
>>
What about Athena? I think we find out if she is alright.
>>
>>19340300
I don't think we should mention her resting.
She is complaining that she feels like she is useless and is letting us down. Implying, no matter how indirectly or correctly, that we are staying because she needs time to heal may make her feel worse.

>>19340300
>Question for everyone, should we tell Slyphis who her dad is or have Keldran tell her himself? I'm for the latter and making sure that old man meets her before we leave.

I feel this is something we should not force to happen. If it happens, it happens. If not? Well. Not really our choice now is it? It's really down to Keldran if he wants to tell her.

>First up should be meeting Tanu if shes here? If not, we should finish our negotiations with the Queen and the Regent.

Agreed. We should really see about getting our hands on that Magic siege robot (ITS A GUNDAM).

>When Hadreniel wakes up, we should ask her to help us research our ability in the palace library. That should help ensure our privacy and net us information.

I'm assuming we'll ask her why she was out and about at night during this time?

She will have to get used to it. Getting more experienced also mean knowing when to fight and when to rest. If she forces her body, she is going to be a burden, she has to learn that.

Also, my understanding is we're staying longer due to our long laundry list of task to perform here.

>>19340381

Regarding Hadreniel's absence in the night, we only know she left for some time. For abdulations or whatnot. Still counts as OOC knowledge, me thinks. And if we assume she went to the toilet, Siggy would never ask if she went.
>>
‘’Preparing for the journey back home’’

You say, lifting yourself off the bed and stretching a bit more, you feel perfectly awake, not totally fresh but it’ll have to do. You stare for a moment toward the sleeping Hadraniel and Bletsia; they’ll probably wake up soon.

‘’The queen here agreed to the alliance and will travel back to Ame-no-Uzume domain, we’ve accomplished our mission Sylphis, you’ve played a vital role in that, believe me’’

There a wave of embarrassment coming from the covered monster, but you simply small and turn her back to her.

‘’How about breakfast?’’

But then she answer with a resounding ‘’no’’

‘’You’ve got things to do, Siggy, breakfast will come later’’
At least she removed the sheet from her face; Sylphis is facing you with her usual stoic expression now.

Well it seem she’s pushing you in the back, so to speak and is trusting of the place enough to not jump out of bed and follow you, while Hadraniel is sleeping soundlessly and without keeping her guard, you could really lose yourself admiring her, still all angels have to be beautiful right?

Now, Siegfried Shieffer, what is your very first action of the day? Library? Contacting the Tanuki? Speaking with the Regent?
>>
>>19340457
Contact the tanuki. We need to see what her information network has found, and if we will be able to work with the Mantis for a combined intelligence agency.

‘’Pheeew only one day in the capital and everything almost exploded! I swear if all the agents of Ame-no-Uzume or her mother are of your caliber I’m hanging myself.’’

You stare as she makes her entry; the girl is energetic even with the bags under her eyes and her constant yawning. It’s good you had to wait for her, honestly, because you had the time to eat a rather good breakfast.

Then the girl drop, rather than sit, on the ground and her layered tail bounce here and there, the fur look really soft, it’s inviting…

‘’Good to see you again, Siegfried’’

She says, smiling

‘’I’ll say it now: One of the agents was found, dead the others have slipped through the net but were still looking, the mantis are on it anyway’’

Then she looks at your food while rubbing one of her eyes.

‘’What did you do here anyway? You’ve kicked one hell of a hornets nest’’

"Would you believe nothing? I myself didn't do much."

Tanu offer you one hell of a grimace, one that you have to chuckle it, the girl is really expressive.

‘’…Right, this that angel you’ve got with you huh? Good move on hiding her from me, I got totally blindsided when I learned that’’

After her remark, a silence installs itself but it’s not an unpleasant one, you can see that the Tanuki is taking the time to relax and from your position, the girl really looked like she needed it, that was the same form all the captain you’ve crossed path with: each looked grumpy and tired, they’ve really worked themselves to the bone pursuing those guys.

"But dead? Which one? Any indications on who kill her? Could the Church agents have killed one of their own for better plausible deniability?"

Could Belvedere really be that ruthless? You can’t say you know the woman, she simply crossed you in the past and that was it, but Tanu eyes narrow while looking at you, her smile spreading in a devilish grin.

‘’And so you know they’re from the church, you’re almost magical, you’d make a very fine mate’’

Err what? She’s licking her lisp too, aw hell not now.

‘’Her death was caused by her own hands, the mantises and police were actually working together for once and the woman got cornered, it seem she preferred death over capture.’’

The Tanuki eyes were without pity, there no doubt that if that agent would have been captured, Tanu would have tortured her to get at the bottom of all this mess.

"...I see. Well then I shall have to express my gratitude when I return home.’’

You muse, glaring a bit at Tanu but the way she’s smiling so mischievously might actually succeed in putting you in a rather weird mood, but then your concentration is broken when the monster suddenly start to rummage through one of her pocket and take out a letter, one that look very boring in the blandest of white paper and sealed like any other of its kind.

‘’Now that I am handing this to you, my contract is complete, I was told to hand it to you, true, but not when’’

Her smile… it’s not cold, it’s amused and sultry.

You glare at her, but you can’t say you’re feeling any kind of hatred.

‘’I any case, if you did not already know, the Church is planning an invasion of Zipangu and with your expertise; I am hopping to float a proposal that you might be in charge of a combine intelligence agency. If the rulers agree, would you be interested in holding such an office?"

Your offer is serious, the woman eyes close as she bite her bottom lisp, she definitely look deep, deep in thought and her face is full of stressful worry, almost making you want to reach out and help somewhat, you don’t look that kind of visage, you’ve seen it on Ame-no-Uzume.

‘’What exactly do you have in mind? Know this, Siegfried. I am one of the founding members of this police; before they were funded by the Rahall it was me that made certain they had the funds for their operations, I’ve only tried to make something that could rival the mantis and my circle is mostly spread in the capital. Why would you nominate me?’’

She seems tired as she speaks, but her voice is nonetheless resolute.

So you start, looking at the tired woman, her tail bouncy lightly as she squirm before she also laugh, a small, small chuckle.

"We both know if the church succeeds, things will change drastically in this region and not for the better’’

Putting your elbows on the table, you rest you chin on your thumbs as you continue to look, your brief compliment have washed over and now Tanu is looking right back

‘’You are of the few individuals in Zipangu I have met that understands how to run such an agency. While I have not met the lizard clan, they are warriors and most, if not all, will not have the mindset needed for such work. The Mantises will obey the queen unerringly, meaning that they can be compromised, as we so witnessed’’

It took the involvement of another mantis, one completely unrelated to the affair and the order itself, to set this on the right path and show how deep the whole order had been made puppet of, a situation that could happen again for they were unlikely to change.

The Tanuki fuzzy round ears were twitching slightly as she had a biig, biig goofy smile on her face, eyes closed.
You didn’t exactly look at her when speaking true but that kind of display…

Ack!

Suddenly the woman (whose bust is of a rather healthy size) grabbed you from across the table and hugged you with enough force to make your grimace.

‘’Nyaha, I like you~’’

So say with an enchanted voice and, without further ado, she kisses you forcefully.

Aaand you can’t help that wave of slight panic and embarrassment from leaking through the link and just now you notice that both Sylphis AND Hadraniel are awake, oh by all that is Holy make it so she stayed with the mantis to catch up on some news…

Still, the Tanuki is warm, you can’t help it, you let your hand go to her lower back and give that bouncy tail one good petting.

And then, feeling not guilty in the slightest, just before the monster tongue enter your mouth and her arms circle your neck, you gently pry her off, pushing her away while clearing your throat, her heat and scent going straight to your head and, despite yourself, her action roused a dormant and disciplined creature.

Nobody can blame you on that, you are a red blooded male that appreciate feminity and Tanu is a VERY good example of that, her eager mischievousness is a quality that would make any man lose themselves, but not you, you aren’t ‘any’ man.

‘’I assume it is a yes?’’

Hm your voice lack some edge, well no matter, the girl fuzzy round ears are still twitching as she laughing to herself.

‘’Suuure, suuure. I was already going to do it but I just wanted some compliment, boy did I got delivered!’’

"As delightful as that sounds, I unfortunately still have many things that need to be addressed before leaving that must be done as quickly as possible. There are things that must be discussed with the Queen and the Regent for this alliance to be hammered out."

Boy she look disappointed, the way she cast down her eyes is honest, could she really have a crush on you? A serious one?

…you’ve completely avoided that subject so far on your journey haven’t you?

Time to continue!

‘’Aah I wish to go back to being a kid…’’

The woman complains, rubbing one of her bagged eye.

‘’Now that you've agreed, perhaps I'd would be good for you to join us in the discussions? I'm sure your Intel and blackmail material will be very useful in settling the problem of treacherous nobles in the city."

You spot her round ears twitching after your statement and her mouth spread in a large, cruel grin as the way her eyes half close is nothing short of completely vicious. It’s scary; seriously, the only face that ever sent a shiver down your spine was your mother when she got very, very angry at those people from the church.

‘’I may be almost freelance, but my dream is to have a land where monster and humans can coexist’’

She starts, audibly cracking her fingers.

‘’And an increasing instability is counter to my ambition, I’ve made my homework, however I cannot be present for the details of said alliance because I’m no part of the government, actually…’’

Arms folded on her chest, her tail bounce as she gets up from the table.

‘’I could talk to the regent about said instability in the city; it’ll be some quick work…. And the queen is still sleeping for now and I think the regent is in dire need of a nap, me as well…’’

Then she stares at you and smile.

‘’Can I sleep on your lap?’’

Details on the alliance, how much aid, communications, chain-of-command stuff, etc. Stuff that is usually glossed over as 'you hammer out the details of the treaty over the next few days'.

Boring stuff, basically.
>>
Here's a thought, what if the 30 days to live is more metaphorical than anything? After 30 days we turn back into the person we once were i.e. the butcher.
I still think we need more information about why we lost our memories and I seem to recall that the one time we brought it up, we only got evasive answers.

Actually you've got most of your memories back, your childhood is still foggy but yo uremember the time at the mage academy well and a good deal of it past that, mostly how badass your mom, uncle and bodyguard were with the very painful period as the Butcher.

But everything that lead to the woman when you woke up in that field? Gone, all of it.

>>19342253
Then we best touch Hadraniel's wings before those 30 days are up.

The fuck?

Moment, sorry for that
>>
>>19342253
Or its also possible that we'll either regain all of our memories and technically be rborn and thus die in that sense. Since INH gave us a glimpse that we asked the Queen mother to cast some form of spell upon us. Or maybe we'll become an amnesiac again after 30 days?

>>19342284
We must touch those wings its a matter of life or death

"...Not for too long, I guess."

You say, pushing the table away from you so the beast monster will have her space, her bright yellow eyes stare at you in disbelief while her cheek blossom a cute crimson.

‘’W-whoa... really?’’

Ah! Doesn’t take it well when the joke backfires huh?
You wave her with a slight movement and she walk to you without a sound, her bouncy tail going place with each step and then, quickly, she suddenly steal another kiss, a very quick and light one but, without adding anything, she lie on your lap, resting her cheek on it and letting out a satisfied sight and…

Her round fuzzy ears stop they’re nervous twitching, not ten seconds and the tanuki is in a deep, deep sleep to the point of drooling, she really was exhausted.

And for a moment you remember this exchange, your hand find itself on the head of the tanuki and you gently pat her round ears, you do not possess any kind of link so her feelings cannot be made certain but she certainly made herself obvious…

After a moment you break open the letter, slowly and methodically so you don’t do anything regretful to the paper and in it, is only a short message.

‘’While I cannot be absolutely certain you are the one this is meant for, if you are truly reading this I suspect events have already unfolded, but I, Tsukiyomi-no-Mikoto, say this: the Tanuki known as Tanuya ‘’Tanu’’ Hoaxl is to be trusted.

I simply did not want to send you blind into a nest of viper.

Good work.’’

Why are you smiling so much?

It should awhile before the Queen and Regent are ready.

Relax for an hour or so. Then put Tanu gently down and leave to conclude the rest of our business.

>>19342385
Are we good or are we good? We know how to pick 'em trustworthy. (that thing with the fake snow girl was a fluke I tell you!)
>>
>>19342432
Agreed.
We should really only have to get the basic outlines of the treaty readied.
The queen has to go to Ame's realm to finalize the treaty anyway, and so will likely want to leave the details till then.
>>
>>19342385
I want to see if can touch her tail

>>19342472
Seconding. Though I suggest we do that when we are about to get up anyway just in case it wakes her up.
>>
>>19342472
We already did earlier

You fold the letter and put it in your inner pocket, right where the talisman give to you by Tsukiyomi is, along with the long ornate pipe. That woman seems to have prepared for a lot of contingency, hasn’t she? What kind of outcome this mission could have had, you wonder?

Still you allow yourself to do nothing, a good 10 minutes pass as you mull over the last day, wonder what would have happened if something like this or that happened, then thinking about the treaty, what you are allowed to do or not, what that golem thing is… and then, slowly, the door open to Hadraniel, the angel is clad in her armor with the Oomukade in tow whose head is visible from the side of the angel and when the celestial being look at you, one hand on the round ears of the Tanuki, she frown and tilt her head but say nothing.

Bletsia tug on her battle dress a bit and look at you going ‘’oooh?’’ but still, the angel is puzzled but is not making any sound to wake the deeply sleeping Tanuya

A brief shrug is your answer as you look at the angel

"I called a bluff and lost."

You say in a low, smooth voice, prompting the angel to smile while the like clearly tell you she does not believe you one bit but, as you beckon the two of them, they swiftly enter and maneuver to sit on the other side of the displaced table, Bletsia is barely making a sound as she’s staring and smiling at the Tanuki, her eyes looking mostly at her tail.

"She agreed in principle to be our spymaster. Looking at her, she’s exhausted. I agreed to let her rest for a while.’’

Hadraniel nod, producing a click from her armor, looking back she entered with her spear and now the thing is at her side, but she made certain to not run into anything with it? It may seem rather banal, but she must truly have some amazing skill with that.

‘’Have you two eaten?’’

You keep stroking her ears, they’re soft, perky, smooth… it’s addicting.

Hadraniel nod, Bletsia stop clinging to her and simply put her elbow on the table and make movement with her lisp, looking bored, but relaxed.

‘’I am simply back here as your bodyguard, nothing fancy or new to report for now, the Queen and regent seem to be resting as well, it seems the crisis yesterday has mostly been resolved.’’

There a brief ‘’Nngh’’ coming from the sleeping Tanuya.
It seem like this morning will be lazy.
>>
>>19342734
Hmm. If Tanu is still out, perhaps we should if Hadraniel if she thinks we might be able to find any info in the library about Siggy's consumption ability.

>>19342761
Agreed. No time to just sit around work to be done.

You gaze at Bletsia who notice and smile at you, going so far as waving, the girl seems to be recovering perfectly from her own trauma.

‘’I’ve been wondering’’

You place your elbow on the table, resting your chin on your hand.

‘’Would this castle library… would it contain any knowledge related to my… consuming nature?’’

You make certain to level your voice and speak low, Tanu is totally out of it true but this place is active, Hadraniel simply look at you for a moment before averting her gaze, you know that when she does this, she’s thinking deeply on her end.

‘’I…am not certain, it may be worth it but… your ability is known to Tsukiyomi and Ame, both of whom poses the largest knowledge on the island and if they informed nothing you of nothing…’’

Then her eyes fall to Tanuya, before meeting yours once more.

‘’But if you wish, we can always try’’

Yeah, and who knows what happens when the potion wears off.
Or if there are other side-effects not listed.

And finally, that psychosis that's one of the side-effects, if it combines the hunger for blood with our hunger for magic energy, we're probably going to end up killing everyone we hold dear. And that's not yet taking into account how the people linked to us will react.

I knida find it jarring that normally it's somewhat light hearted and noble bright and then we have Sylphis puking blood while getting skewered, Athena and Siggy turning out to have been cold blooded murderers in the past (the former even getting off on it).
Oh well, I'll just chalk it up to you trying to extract all those feels from us.

Do we have all our memories when Siegfried was the butcher? Can't recall. If so, do you remember what thread might have gone into the details of that period or has that not happened yet?

Hmm. Need to re-read that then to see what it exactly says but I wonder what caused him to do what he did.
>>
>>19343192
And can we be assured that the power from the potion would even be under our control? That it won't react with the hunger of the Consumer and basically make it impossible for us to use our abilities at all, without losing all control?
No, using the potion is a last resort when all other options have failed.

So, anyone wana make a bet if Athena will be missing any extremities when/if she comes back?
