You are Reinhold, master swordsman and victor of the Royal Swordsmanship Tournament. The King was so impressed with your skill, he personally requested that you be transferred out of the army and into the Royal Guard! Not bad for an orphan who was raised in a brothel in a poor fishing village.

The only issue at this point is your assignment... you've been charged to be the personal guard of the King's only daughter Marianne. While she is the vision of loveliness that you'd expect from a Princess, her personality is... well... she seems to have some issues.

Along the way to Cateno, Arnaud gave a brief explanation of what happened in his past. Not one to just leave it at that, you felt the need to tell him a story of yours in kind.

Though it's not really -your- story.


>Congratulations, Reinhold is now a fearsome DIRE WOLF!
>Much larger than their the other types of wolf, the Dire Wolf's size also means that they are also that much more dangerous.
>The Princess considers you to be her dear friend!
>But while dire wolves are massive, they still don't -quite- stand on the same level as people.

>"My name is Spinelle," she says, placing a hand to her chest, "and this little guy here is Reinhold."
>"...hi," he says, waving to me with a nervous smile on his face.
>"Are you sure that he didn't run into you too hard?" she asks. "You look like you're about to cry."


"N... no," I say, shaking my head. "It's got nothing to do with that."

Seeing Spinelle there there with her kid just makes me remember how I used to hold onto my mother's skirts like that when I was that age... shit, my eyes are tearing up. These two are total strangers, I can't just go around crying in front of them.

"Well, um..." she pats me on the shoulder. "Maybe we can do something to help you if you tell us what's the matter."

Without thinking, I just blurt it all out. How I had to leave home, when those fucking sea serpents attacked our boat, how my mother was eaten... all of it.

"...and now I'm stuck here and I don't even know what country this is," I mumble as I wipe off my eyes. "All my family's dead and I don't know what the hell I'm going to do now so that's why I look like hell."
"Oh my..." Spinelle gasps. "I heard those things were causing trouble upstream, but I had no idea..."
"They're not gonna come here and eat everyone, are they?" Reinhold asks, tugging on Spinelle's skirt. "I don't want you to get ate up!"
"Don't worry, I haven't heard any reports of that," Spinelle replies, softly brushing her hand through her son's hair. "And even if they were here, there's no way that I'd ever let anything happen to you."
"'kay..." he mumbles.

She'd just end up the same as my mother, but it's not like I'd say that out loud in front of Reinhold.

"Umm, maybe she can come with us?" Reinhold asks.
"I dunno," Spinelle replies as she looks me over. "The Boss isn't about taking in people without having them -work-..."
"Oh yeah," he mumbles.

If I can work then that means that I'll be able to make enough money to find somewhere to live maybe...

"I'm willing to give it a try if you let me," I say.
"Er, are you sure?" she asks, squinting her eyes. "You don't really get too many people jumping at the chance to-"
"Please!" I shout. "I don't have anywhere to go, but if I can get just this one chance then maybe..."

No crying! I'm trying to make a good impression here, not look super desperate!

"Well maybe," Spinelle shrugs, then walks over to me and-
"Wha-!?" I shriek as she cups her hands RIGHT OVER MY BREASTS and gives them a squeeze! What the fuck!?

I stand there, paralyzed as she continues to grope my chest and then moves around to my ass and gives it a squeeze as well. Why the fuck am I being molested!?

"Whwhwhwhwhatareyoudoing!?" I stammer as I finally work up the nerve to shoo her off of me.
"Well if you're gonna work then I've gotta see if you've got whet it takes..." Spinelle replies, placing her hands on her hips. "If you can't handle this much then I don't see how you'll be able to stand-"
"O- okay, I get it!" I shout. "J... just give me some warning next time."

What is she, a waitress at one of those shady clubs where the girls wear bunny ears and sit on guys' laps?

"Eh, I've seen enough," Spinelle says, nodding to me. "You've got a lot of growing to do but your tits are nice and perky and your ass isn't too bad either..."
"Um, thanks," I mumble.

Only one person's ever said that to me before, and he... never mind.

"I guess the Boss'll be fine with you," Spinelle says as she walks over to Reinhold and takes his hand. "C'mon, we were just heading back home."
"Okay," I nod as I follow after them.

It's a long walk to wherever it is that Spinelle and Reinhold live, and it's like the neighborhood gets worse and worse as we go on. Lots of guys make lewd comments about Spinelle's, um... "assets" long the way, but it's like neither she nor Reinhold even give it a second thought.

I guess I'm going to have to get used to this kind of thing too if I'm going to survive out here.

Eventually, we stop in front of a largeish building that's decidedly better-kept than pretty much everything else around it. It's almost like an oasis in the middle of this slum... I wonder what kind of place it is?

"Here we are," Spinelle says, extending her hand towards the building. "Our home and... workplace. The neighborhood's kinda shit but everyone knows better than to mess with us so things are safe enough as long as you stray too far."
"Uh, okay," I nod.
"It's always kind of rough starting out, but I'm sure that you'll get used to it soon enough."

And with that, she and Reinhold go on inside the building. Spinelle heads straight inside, but Reinhold holds the door open for me to enter. I have to admit that I really didn't expect a kid who was raised in a place like this to be so well-mannered, I guess Spinelle's a pretty good mother.

"Hey Spinelle, someone actually made a fucking APPOINTMENT for you," a large, burly man with a shaved head and thick beard says to her as she walks up to him. "Get ready in an hour, so-"

He stops midsentence and stares at me.

"...who the fuck're you?" he asks. "Spinelle, you actually found a chick customer?"

Customer?

"Nah," Spinelle shakes her head. "This girl..." she turns to me. "Come to think of it, I never caught your name."
"I- it's Citrine," I stammer.
"Citrine here," she points to me, "just washed ashore after her parents got killed by some sea serpents."

Hearing her say it all matter-of-factly like that makes me feel even worse about what happened to them, like it was just another mundane thing that just happened like anything else... but now isn't the time to get offended.

"Huh," the man looks at me. "Well that's a fuckin' shame and all but I know you know that I ain't running a charity house here, Spinelle. Even Reinhold started pullin' his weight here once he learned how to walk."
"She's not here for charity," Spinelle replies, "she's here to work."
"Work?" he turns to me again with a look of disbelief. "This innocent-looking girl right here?"
"Y- yeah," I nod. "I dunno if you have any openings, but if you do then I'll be willing to..."

>>
>>36591451

The man goes silent, maybe he's thinking it over?

"Well I guess we do have room since Ruri went and got herself killed," he says, shaking his head the way that my father would do when someone would tell him about a missing dog. "Fucking shame, she was our top girl..."
"So it won't hurt anything to take in a new girl, right?" Spinelle asks. "I mean, you were just going on yesterday about how much money this place lost since Ruri died."
"Mmm..."
"U- umm," I hold up my hand. "What exactly happened to this 'Ruri' girl?"

If this is a dangerous job then I dunno about taking it...

"Ruri was our most popular girl, a real looker from one of them weirdo countries out East where they eat raw fish with sticks," the man says. "Hot as fuck too, and the best lay I've had since I was a teenager..."

So she was his girlfriend.

"But some stupid fuck got all attached to her and started going on about marriage," he says, "and when she turned him down, he lost his shit."
"He jumped her when she was out shopping," Spinelle says. "Slit her throat."
"Oh my God," I gasp.
"But I got him back good," the man says. "Reinhold spotted him out by the docks and called me over... he got what was coming to him, ain't that right?"
"Yeah," Reinhold nods. "That guy wasn't from around her so he didn't know what the Boss does to people who hurt the girls here."

...so he killed someone right in front of this little boy!?

"Shit sucks, but that's part of life I guess," the man shrugs. "First time I lost one of my girls since I started this place up."
"Uh..." I mumble.

One of his employees got killed so he killed the murderer in revenge and nobody even cares? Is this town so awful that it doesn't even have guards?

"What, you're having second thoughts?" Spinelle asks. "I'm sorry to say that it could have happened to anyone out here though, it's not like it's a danger specific to this place."
"Yeah, my girls are actually better off than the other locals," the man says. "Everyone in town knows better than to mess with me so Spinelle and the others get left alone most've the time. But if you don't wanna work here, I'm not about to force you."

Courage. I need to have courage. If this place is the safest around then that's even more reason not to run off on my own...

"N... no, I'll do it," I say, shaking my head. "It's not like I have anywhere else to go."
"Alright, then," he says as he approaches me.

This man... I guess Spinelle calls him the "Boss," gets in really close and places a hand under my chin and lifts my head up, inspecting my face before moving on to, um... the rest of me. But I'm expecting the groping this time so it's not as much of a shock when he does it.

"Mmm..." he scratches his shaved head, "...same rate as Emeraude, I guess."
"Eh!?" Spinelle gasps. "Really!?"
"Yeah," he shrugs. "She's got that cute young look to her, and even though I can't get it up to anyone with tits smaller than Ruri's, other guys are definitely into that shit."
"Umm, what do you mean by 'rates?" I ask. This is really seeming suspicious.
"Rates per session," he replies. "We go by the hour or until the guy comes four times, no exceptions."
"Most guys are totally spent by the third though," Spinelle says, shrugging. "I find it easiest to just wear them out as fast as you can, then you can get your money and get them out of here."
"C- comes...?" I gasp. "You don't mean-"
"What, I thought you knew what I do for a living when you asked for a job," Spinelle replies. "This is a brothel."

Oh no.

Oh my God no holy shit what the hell have I gotten myself into.

I mean, yeah Spinelle dresses kind of whorey but I was always taught not to judge people based on what they wear, and...

"Oh no..." I bury my face in my hands.
"Dammit Spinelle," the Boss growls, "why the fuck didn't you actually clear this shit with the girl before you dragged her all the way out here and wasted my time!?"
"What, how the hell was I supposed to not know that she had no idea!?" Spinelle protests. "And it's not like she said that she won't do it!"
"Whwhwhwha-" I gasp.
"You will?" the Boss turns to me. "The work ain't hard or nothing... you're ont a virgin, are you?"

It feels like my heart just stopped. What the hell kind of question is that to ask someone?

"Well?" the Boss crosses his arms. "'Cuz if you -are- then we can get more money for popping-"
"I'm not, okay!?" I stammer.
"...oh," he rolls his eyes. "Got my hopes up there... but if you already had a dick or two then there ain't any reason for you to decline, right? You ain't protectin' your virginity or nothin' like that..."

I never even told my parents about that, and now this... PIMP knows...

"Th... that doesn't mean that I'm willing to just sell my body, though!" I shout. "I'm not that kind of girl!"
"My ass you're 'not that kind of girl,'" he laughs. "Every chick likes to think that, but if you leave here then you're gonna have to do SOMETHING in order to survive. Even if you ain't getting paid with money to get fucked -here-, you're gonna find some guy who lends you a room in his shack in return for getting fucked by him or maybe you'll suck a dick in order to get a job as a waitress at that pub down the street. Even if you find an honest man to take you in as his wife, you're still gonna end up giving it up in order to keep a roof over your head."

Oh my God, this is the most vulgar thing someone has ever said to me in my entire life.

"Worst-case scenario, you run outside and one of the sick fucks around here just up and rapes you because he can," he says, shrugging.
"I know that it might sound awful," Spinelle says, "but it really isn't that bad here. We get a better place to stay than most of the so-called 'honest workers,' and every once in a while a customer comes along who actually knows what he's doing. It's a win-win situation."
"And she'd know better than anyone," the Boss says, slapping Spinelle on the ass. "Spinelle here's our top girl now that Ruri's dead."

I think I'm going to be sick. I'm so desperate that I'm actually thinking about CONSIDERING this gross man's offer to... and Reinhold's right there, I can't believe that Spinelle would be fine with her kid-

"Y... you don't have Reinhold as one of the..." I say, pointing at him.
"What!?" the Boss stares at me with a look of absolute disgust. "Fuck no, I don't allow that shit here!"
"Umm, I just clean up and stuff," Reinhold mumbles.
"I ain't in for that gay shit, much less gay shit with KIDS," the boss says. "I didn't pick this little brat up off my doorstep as a baby just to sell him like some kinda sick fuck."

So tragic....
>>
>>36592026

Th... that's a relief, but I still can't-

"Sorry, but I can't," I shake my head. "Sorry for wasting your time out here, but I can't imagine selling myself just to make a living..."

And before any of them can say another word, I run out the door as fast as I can, not stopping until that brothel is well out of sight. I feel sick and cold and I can see those awful snakes every time I close my eyes. After getting my bearings kinda, I continue to wander around this shitty town until night falls.

No boats going out to another port. No waitress jobs open in the shabby restaurants in this town. It's a fucking trap, that's what this place is. Just a shitty river to the east and woods that are filled with God-knows-what everywhere else. And to top it all off, I have NOTHING to my name and nowhere to go. Can't even get a fucking job because everything that I'm able to do is already being done by girls who are every bit as desperate as I am.

Giving up for the night, I find a safe-looking space between some old crates outside one of the restaurants that turned me away and curl up into a ball. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

...I miss you so much, Dad.

Huh?

What the hell is that sound, it's like something wet-

"Yeah, let's see you try and run now!" a man shouts over the sound of a woman screaming at the top of his lungs.

I open my eyes and prop up the large plank of wood I was using as a cover just a little bit in order to see what's going on out there, and the sight chills my entire body. There's a man standing over a woman and he's stabbing her over and over and over and over and over again. After the woman's body hits the ground and splashes in a pool of her own blood, he reaches down and grabs her by the hair.

"You're still warm, and that's good enough for me..." the man growls as he turns around, dragging her along with him...

...and then his eyes shift right towards where I'm hiding.

"Hey!" he shouts. "Come out here where I can see you!"

Oh no.

"I said, get your ass out've there!" he screams. "I can see those beady little eyes peeking out so quit playing dumb!"

>>
>>36592369

>>36592272

His bloodstained hands let go of the corpse's hair as he slowly stomps towards my hiding spot. Filled with horror at what I've just seen, my entire brain's filled with one thought- "If I stay here then I'm going to be killed." LEaning back, I position my legs against the board that I was using to block me from being seen on the street itself and wait until he's close enough...

BAM! I kick as hard as I can, sending the wooden board racing towards the man! Just as it hits, I spring to my feet and whip the board that was covering my head at him, reducing him to a howling, swearing mess as I make a mad dash down the street and away from him.

Keep running.

He's right behind me, I need to keep running. But where to!?

My legs move on their own, propelling me to the only thing resembling a "safe place" that I've seen in this entire stupid town- the brothel. I'm still in danger though, I can hear him screaming right behind me.

CRACK

I throw the door open and then spin back around right away and slam it right into my pursuer's face.

"Wha!?" Reinhold gasps, staring at me from behind the counter. "Miss Citrine?"
"Help!" I shriek. "There's a murderer behind me and he's gonna kill me! Listen, he's right outside!" I point to the door that's being pounded on from outside.

Slowly, Reinhold walks from behind the counter without taking his eyes off the door for a second. From the cold look on his face, I can tell that he's been through something like this before.

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSS!!!" he shouts at the top of his lungs. "WE GOT TROUBLE!!"

Not even five seconds later, the burly owner of the building races down the stairs with a long knife in one hand and a scroll in the other.

"Reinhold, what's going on!?" he shouts. "Are those drunken dumbshits gettin' rowdy again!?"
"Uh-uh," he shakes his head, "Miss Citrine came running in here crying about someone wanting to kill her and then some guy started banging on the door!" he says, pointing outside.

The Boss turns towards me like I'm nothing.


>[12/?]

>>36592494

"Shit, girl," he shakes his head. "One day here and you already ran afoul of some sick fuck?"
"H- he stabbed a woman to death!" I sob, falling to my knees. "I saw him do it and then he saw me and he chased me all the way here please help me I don't wanna die!"
"Fuckin' hell..." he grumbles as he squeezes his knife's grip. "Yanno, my protection only extends to MY girls, I can't be playin' police in this shithole lest everyone start hasslin' me for help."
"Then I'll work here as one of your girls!" I shout. "Just please keep that man from killing me!"
"Oh?" he raises an eyebrow. "Alright, I'mma keep you to that then," he says as he walks to the door that's still being assaulted from outside. "Reinhold, make sure that she's alright while I take care of this."
"Okay," Reinhold replies, taking my hand and leading me far away from the door while the Boss opens up the scroll that he was holding and approaches it. Reinhold pulls me deeper inside the building so I can't see what exactly happens, but I do hear that man screaming again and the sound of a loud explosion that shakes everything around me.

Once my ears stop ringing, a wave of relief washes over me. I don't hear that man screaming anymore, which means that the Boss probably blew him up with whatever that scroll he was carrying was.

And then I feel sick to my stomach. In my panic, I actually agreed to become one of his... whores.

That's what I am now.

Once Reinhold leads me to what used to be that Ruri girl's room, I spend the rest of the night crying. About my lost home, about my lost parents, and about my lost future.

>But if Spinelle and the boss are still there we need to kill them personally.
Now I think that's an overreaction. Spinelle probably deserves our resentment, but the Boss pretty much did all right by us considering the circumstances (aside from the Spinelle thing).
>>
>>36592636

Only way to survive in the port town was to be a whore. Shit sucks man. I can see why she would be attached to Reinhold.
>>
>>36592369
There's no indication she ever fucked any other kids, and she only fucked Reinhold after she was scared she was losing him, so I suspect she isn't actually a pedophile (or hebephile? How old was he when it started?) to be honest. Grim this may be, but an awful lot of child sexual assualt is not committed by people who are really pedophiles; its just that younger people are easier to overpower and coerce and a lot of rapists have fucked up issues in terms of their sense of self worth or are outright frightened of people their own age and of similar strength.
>>
>>36592636

The next morning, Spinelle comes to my room and greets me as her fellow "coworker." I guess she's the top girl here and it's her job to show me the ropes... when she asks about my "previous experience," I tell her that I've been with my ex-boyfriend a few times so she spares me the so-called newbie lesson. After introducing me to the other girls, she moves straight on to the wardrobe section of my initiation.

She says that since I don't have much in the area of sexiness that I should try and "accentuate my appeal as a cute girl," whatever that means. Then she sticks me in an outfit that shows way more of my skin that I'm used to, but at least I'm not as, um... -obvious- as Spinelle. I've seen some of the racier girls back home dress like this and they weren't sluts so I guess I'm good here.

But just as I'm thinking that maybe this won't be that bad, the Boss calls all of us down to the main lobby to greet a potential customer. It turns out to be a middle-aged fisherman who'd been saving up for this for the past month, but he didn't know what exactly he wanted.

Until he sees me.


>[14/?]
>>
>>36592711
>How old was he when it started?
Should be pretty soon Citrine and Volker showed up around the same time and Spinelle went crazy soon after that.
>>
>>36592760
Here we go.
>>
>>36592760

Spinelle wishes me luck as I lead the man to what's become "my" room. Bile raises in the back of my throat as he takes off his shirt and sits on the bed, but I force it back down just in time for him to sit me on his lap.

Having been waiting for this for a full month, the fisherman gets the full use of his allotted hour, and I spend the rest of the night throwing up. Spinelle says that the first customer is always the roughest time, but I already feel so fucking filthy, I don't know how I'm going to stand living like this for very long.

As I try to go to sleep, the thought to just end it all now pops into my mind again. But just as I'm starting to consider it, I flash back to the memory of my father racing towards me with all his might in hopes of saving my life.

I can't spit on his memory like that.

Its bad because Citrine is one of my top 3 grills. She is cute and dumb, and being a whore is just not in her character.

The Boss seems to be one of the closest things to an honorable person you'll get in a shithole like this. Runs a brothel and is a cold, hard bastard, but he has his standards and protects his immediate circle with all he's got. He burned through a lot of gear to patch up Adrien after Volker got killed, and was apparently quite upset when Reinhold ran off and had intended to leave everything to him when he died.

I have a horrible feeling that Spinelle genuinely loved Reinhold as basically the only person who would be nice to her, and the only man who didn't control her. Then when he starts to get taken away, she had to control him the only way she would be familiar with. Fucked up beyond belief, and it absolves nothing, but it's still something that happens tragically often in reality as I have seen first hand; never ever go in to professional social work unless you're made of fucking iron, because even then it'll kill you
>>
>>36592864

Come morning, I still haven't gotten much rest. After throwing my clothes on, I make my way downstairs and sit down on one of the chairs that they have in the lobby. It's either that or sit in my room, and just looking at that bed makes me feel sick to my stomach.

"...hi," Reinhold says, walking up to me holding a broom. "You feeling okay?" he asks.
"Not really," I shake my head.

While I want to cry about my problems to someone... ANYONE, Reinhold's just a little kid and I wouldn't feel right dumping all my shit on him.

"Umm, Ruri was like that too when she first came here," Reinhold says. "But she started smiling sometimes after a little while so um..." he searches for something else to say.
"You're trying to cheer me up?" I ask.
"You wouldn't be here if I didn't run into you yesterday so I feel kinda bad about everything," he replies. "So, um..."
"Thanks," I say, reaching over to him and patting him on the head like I saw Spinelle do yesterday.

It's only by a tiny bit, but I do feel at least somewhat better.

"...this Ruri girl," I say, "what kind of person was she?"
"She was kinda nice," Reinhold says as his expression darkens. "Nicer than the other girls, anyways. She gave me candy sometimes and she didn't make me change her sheets, she'd do it herself instead 'cuz she said that was something that little boys shouldn't hafta do."
"So you like her?" I ask.
"Kinda, I dunno," he shrugs. "Not as much as Spinelle."
"Your mother?"
"Uh-uh," he shakes his head. "I don't have one of those."


>[16/?]

Oh yeah, the Boss said that he found Reinhold as in infant on his doorstep.

"Well at least you have a father," I say, putting on my best fake smile and patting him on the head again. "I really miss mine..."
"I don't have one of those either," Reinhold says, shaking his head.
"But the Boss-"
"He's not my father," he says, cutting me off. "He's the Boss."

And with that, Reinhold runs off to continue sweeping, apparently the Boss is really harsh on him when he neglects his chores. As for what he just told me... I don't even know how to take that all in.

The next month feels more like an entire horrible year. Every night, I have to do -that- with all sorts of men, and on a few really busy nights I even get stuck with several consecutive hours of "work" with no rest in between. And then there's the one night where the Boss has me sit in on one of Spinelle's sessions in order to take pointers...

...I don't know how the hell she's able to do this kind of thing so casually. But apparently I'm a fast learner so I keep getting high reviews by my customers so they keep recommending me to my friends and things keep getting worse and worse from there. And with every passing day, I hate myself a little bit more.

The occasions that I'm able to chat with Reinhold are pretty much the only non-awful parts of my life now.

One day, I come back from some shopping to find that the Boss's called out all of the girls out to the front lobby in their nicest clothes. After getting yelled at to do the same thing, I get changed as quickly as I can.

"Alright, girls..." the Boss says, unable to hide the fact that he's really happy about something, "I just got word that there's a big spender here in town and he's been asking about where he can find some nice 'female companionship.' So I expect you bitches to do your absolute BEST to impress this guy when he gets here, you got it!?
"Yes, Boss!" we all say in unison.

And like ten minutes later, the doors swing open and three men enter the brothel. The first is a really handsome-looking guy, he's really tall with long blonde hair and rippling muscles. There's a large sword strapped to his back, I guess he's some kind of adventurer.

The second is a bald man with weird clothes... he looks pretty clean though so maybe the blonde guy's his bodyguard?

And the last one to walk in is a tall guy with black hair and gloomy red eyes. My first thought is that maybe he's wearing eyeshadow, but when he comes a little bit closer I see that those are just bags under his eyes. He's got a sword hanging at either side of his belt and he's wearing a long jacket, my guess is that he's the bald guy's other bodyguard. I mean, the order that they walked in here would suggest something like that.

the only is with respect to the phrase "after she was scared she was losing him"

It doesn't mean she wasn't fucking other guys. And since she wasn't already fucking Reinhold it is incredibly unlikely she was inherently a pedophile.

Unless you mean you didn't know she'd fucked Reinhold at all, in which case you've missed out on some pretty major plot points, dude.

"Good evening!" we all say in unison as the Boss closes the door behind the three men.
"Welcome to my fine establishment!" the Boss says, running in front of us and bowing to the three men. "As you can see, we have the finest selection of female companionship in all of Cateno!"
"I certainly do see that," the bald man laughs. "My name is Wei, and these are my two associates," he says, showing off the two men at either of his sides. "The blonde is Adrien, and the gloomy-looking fellow is Volker. Don't mind his looks, he's actually a total softy who even saved a kitten from drowning in the river while we were on the way here!"
"C'mon, man..." Volker sighs.
"Anyways," Wei says, clearing his throat, "We've come here in order to... enjoy ourselves after a long journey."

Of course they are.

"Actually, I'm out," Volker says, holding up his hand.
"Same," Adrien shrugs. "Wei, you're on your own here."
"What!?" Wei stares at Adrien. "But just the other day, you were hitting on that one waitress down by the pier!"
"Yeah, but I prefer when I have to actually -work- to convince a lady that I'm worth her time," Adrien replies. "...no offense, girls," he says, winking at us.
"And you already know how I feel about this stuff," Volker sighs. "My grandma raised me better than to mess around with 'women of questionable morals.'"

Great, so that means that the chances of me having to "work" tonight just went down by a ton!

"Damn, and here I was fully willing to pay for both of you to have as many girls as you wanted," Wei sighs. "Oh well, that just means that there's more for me."

The Boss steps aside as Wei walks up to the girls, looking over each and every one of us before stopping in front of me.

God damn it.

That's still not going to do much. Given the near miss with lord prissybritches packing a sealed king, now that we can become nigh invulnerable metal and our own sword is self-healing plus has haxx mode glancing-blows-destroy-armor-and-also-I-shoot-sword-beams-now we should really be able to take out any shmuck this town has to offer even if they had lucked into a Sealed King and just not had time to leave for somewhere better yet. Hell, anyone who doesn't have a powerful defensive spell to throw up at short notice can be literally sprinted-through to death, and walls aren't going to stop us on that front. Our month's timeskip has probably upgraded us to babby monster tier versus our initial improbably lethal tier.
>>
>>36593377

"Mmm... I just can't decide," Wei says, wringing his hands together. "They're just all so lovely..."
"Well I can always reserve the entire place for the night so you can take your time to enjoy as many as you can," the Boss says, his eyes twinkling with the hope of making some money.
"Well..."

He places his hand on my shoulder and I flinch.

"Sorry, but you're a bit too -young- for my tastes," Wei says. "Maybe in a few years you'll ripen out to my liking, but you can sit out tonight."
"Th... thanks for giving me this opportunity anyways," I say wit an uneasy smile.

Can't look too happy about not having to sleep with that guy, that's how girls get slapped.

"...and I think I'll just go ahead and take the rest!" Wei laughs.
"Wha!?" the Boss gasps.
"All of them," he repeats himself. "At once. I can do that, right? I'll even pay twice the usual rate to make up for the extra trouble."
"Y- yeah, we can definitely do that!" the Boss says, smiling like he's the happiest man in the entire world. "Just lemme go and make sure that we've got a spare room that can handle that degree of, um.... FUN!"

The Boss runs up the stairs and personally makes sure that a room's to his specifications before calling up all the girls besides me to go in with Wei. With nothing else to do, I take a seat at the lobby and breathe a long sigh of relief.

"You seem pretty happy to not have to be joining your friends up there," Adrien says. "I take it Wei's not your type?"
"None of this is 'my type,'" I reply.


>[21/?]
>>
>>36593377
>Yeah, but I prefer when I have to actually -work- to convince a lady that I'm worth her time," Adrien replie

Ah Adrien my respect for you grows even though you're still a piece of shit for leaving Rein and Citrine here.

>>
>>36593469

And then I slap my hands in front of my mouth because why the hell did I just say that in front of a total stranger!?

"...you're not doing this by choice?" Volker asks.
"The Boss isn't forcing me to do this, if that's what you're asking," I say, shaking my head. "I'm just stuck here and this is the only place that would take me in."
"Oh," he nods. "Sorry to hear that."
"I'm sorry to be -living- that," I mumble.

Just as I'm feeling especially miserable, Reinhold comes walking into the lobby.

"Huh?" he looks at me. "I heard that all the girls were upstairs, why aren't you with them?" he asks.
"'Cuz I'm not sexy enough," I shrug. "No skin off my back, though."
"...oh," he smiles faintly at me.
"Wait just a fucking minute," Adrien says, pointing at Reinhold. "What the fuck is a KID doing here!? That guy doesn't have you whoring too, does he!?"

Both of them look like they're about to pull out their weapons and wreck the place, but Reinhold simply shakes his head and that seems to calm them down.

>>36593573

"I just clean up," Reinhold says. "And the Boss says that I'm supposed to tell him when people get pushy about wanting to do bad stuff to me so he can cut their dicks off."

...I've never heard Reinhold ever say anything like that before...

"Oh," Adrien breathes a sigh of relief. "So you're the owner's kid."
"No, I just live here," Reinhold says, shaking his head. "The Boss and Spinelle take care of me, but they're not my parents."
"You don't have parents then?" Volker asks.
"Uh-uh," he shakes his head. "Citrine doesn't either."

While the other girls work, I spend the first night since I left home actually enjoying myself. Volker and Adrien go on about the adventures that they've had while acting as Wei's bodyguards, and Reinhold especially seems to light up as he listens to them. I've never seen him smile like that, and it makes me feel a little bit less shitty.

>>36593618
That feels like the kind of awesome stunt she would pull as a visiting gift/delayed wedding gift to Citrine/whatever. Grandma seems to have a flair for the dramatic like that. Plus, she knows that Reinhold being officially noble would probably help grease the wheels of things with Lucianna back in Marconeti given how big they are on ranks and titles. Even if Celestino no longer gives a shit about our background, he is very big on playing politics and that would smooth things over with the noble classes there no end.
>>
>>36593667

It turns out that Wei blew so much money that the Boss actually gives us all the next day off. While they all rest, he, Wei and the two bodyguards go out drinking and don't come back until really late. With nothing else to do, I help Reinhold do his usual chores and keep him company until Spinelle finally comes downstairs and shoos me away.

She used to be really nice, but it's been like like she's had a grudge against me for a while now about something. I have no idea what though, I've never done anything but be as polite towards her as I possibly can.

When the Boss comes back home, he finds Spinelle and does his usual thing with her. I guess his "giving us the day off" didn't apply to his own requests... I'm just glad hat I'm not his type. While they go on and do that stuff, I keep Reinhold company for a little while longer before putting him to bed.

Spinelle gives me the dirtiest look ever when she sees me leaving his room.

I wake up the next morning fully rested for the first time in forever. After getting dressed, I come downstairs... and am happy to find Reinhold sweeping the floor like usual, with nobody else around.

"Hey, Reinhold!" I say with a cheerful smile. "Good morning!"

I move in to rustle his hair, but he flinches so hard when he sees my hand that he ends up falling over.

"Oh no, are you okay!?" I reach out to help him up, but he cringes when he sees my hand.
"I... I can get up myself," he mumbles, quickly scrambling to his feet and grabbing his broom so that he can go back to sweeping.

Why the hell's he acting like this? Something's gotta be wrong, he was in a pretty good mood yesterday...

"Really, what's the matter?" I ask, placing my hand on his shoulder.
"D- DON'T TOUCH ME!" Reinhold shouts as he slaps my hand away as hard as he can.

And the way he looks at me right afterwards, it's almost enough to make me start crying right there.

Seriously though...how much trauma can one human go through and no be suicidal? She left the only home she's known, lost everything, saw her parents brutally murdered in front of her, nearly raped/murdered(and not necessarily in t that order), watched another woman get murdered in front of her, then forced to be a whore, all within a 48 hour span.

It's a wonder she could function at all after all that.

"S... sorry," he mumbles as he goes back to his sweeping. "Just leave me alone, okay?"
"No," I shake my head. "Something happened and you're -going- to tell me what it was," I say. "If someone did something to you, we can tell the Boss or Spinell-"
"NO!" he screams. "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!" he violently shakes his head. "Don't talk to her!"
"Wha...?" I take a few steps back. "Did something happen with her? Did the two of you get into a fight?"

I see tears well up in Reinhold's eyes.

"C'mon," I plead with him. "HAve I ever been anything other than super nice to you?"
"No," he shakes his head. "But neither did Spinelle but last night she came to my room and-"
"And what?"

He turns around so that I can't see his face.

"She came to my room last night," Reinhold mumbles. "and then she took her clothes off and then she took MY clothes off and she did the same stuff that she does to the Boss to me."
"Wh-" I stumble back. "What the FUCK!?"

>[26/?]

Well, the parents weren't technically murdered because Leviathans are essentially just animals, but also the woman she saw get murdered was killed to get her to lie still and be fucked.

Spinelle's like a mother to him, why the fuck would she EVER-

"It felt really gross and I begged her to stop but she didn't listen and then she said that she loves me the most and won't let you steal me away so she'll show me that she can do what nobody else will..." he starts choking up.
"Oh my God..." I place my hands over my mouth, but then I realize that my outrage doesn't matter here. Reinhold's the one who's hurting here. Gently, I wrap my arms around and hug him for as long as I can before he pushes me away.
"Y... you're just gonna do the same thing, aren't you," he says, glaring at me through bloodshot eyes. "'Cuz she said that you and her were fighting over me and that's what women do when they fight over a man so she was gonna make the first m-"
"The hell!?" I stare at him. "You're not a MAN, you're a little BOY!" I shout. "I thought Spinelle saw you as a son, but..."

I have to take a few seconds to calm myself back down before I start talking again.

>[27/?]

>>36594180
So we're going to rape Spinelle back for revenge, right?
>>
>>36594197
She'd want that.
>>
>>36594197
If by rape you mean either ignore her existence or run her through with a blade yes.
>>
>>36594090
Some can be, yes, but I've also seen them crack under much less. The will to live is strong in this one.

That said, her story sounds pretty similar to many saved from sex slavery, minus the murder...sometimes anyway. Taken to a foreign land with no roots, no safety net, and given no other choice.

I think I've been to too many human trafficking briefings for this...I'm going to go watch cat videos for a while until I feel better.
>>
>>36594073
We need to sew her vag shut. That is the only punishment that would work. She thinks sex is all that people want and define them, and if we took that away from her she would be worthless and likely kill herself.
>>
>>36594180

"She said that she loves me like a woman loves a man," Reinhold mumbles. "I dunno how that counts as loving someone, though... I didn't want to do bad things to her but she did bad things to me," he says, looking up at me. "And now you're gonna do the same thing, right?"
"What!? NO!" I shout. "Yeah I love you but I'm not a fucking psychopath! I love you like a LITTLE BROTHER, not as a man!"
"What's the difference?" he mumbles.
"You don't FUCK your little brother!" I say, slapping my hands down on either of his shoulders. "You look out for them and get happy just watching them be happy, you don't go to their room and..." I shake my head. "I'd never do that to you!"
"...you wouldn't?" he asks, looking up at me with hopeful eyes.
"Of course I wouldn't!" I shout. "And now I'm gonna do what a big sister SHOULD do and go tell the Boss what that sick bitch did to you! He said that he'd cut the dick off any guy who tried to have sex with you, right? Well I'm sure that he'll cut off Spinelle's tits for what she did!"

After giving Reinhold another hug, I storm into the Boss's office. He looks really annoyed to see me in there, but I don't even give a shit. He can slap me harder than he does Reinhold when he gets drunk, it doesn't matter to me.

>>
>>36594288
If this was the real world, then Spinelle is showing classic signs of someone suffering from pretty severe damage here. She shouldn't be forgiven, but this is something that would need intensive treatment more than punishment, plus court orders keeping her away from any vulnerable people until further notice.

It could be worse though.
Spinelle could be roughly the same age as Reinhold while she was doing this.

>>36594280


"Citrine, what the hell're you doin' in here?" the Boss asks.
"I..." I take a deep breath. "I have something important to talk to you about."
"Huh?" he looks uninterested. "Well hurry it up and get the hell out of here."
"It's Spinelle," I say. "Reinhold just told me that she came into his room last night and..."

It makes me sick just saying it, but I relay to the Boss exactly what Reinhold told me. And he sits there and looks right into my eyes while I speak.

"...so what are you gonna do about her!?" I ask. "You know she's not going to just limit it to just this one time, she's gonna go back there and keep on-"
"So?" the Boss crosses his arms.
"'SO!?'" I shriek. "Reinhold is SEVEN YEARS OLD!"
"Yeah, and I had my first taste of pussy when I was nine, big whoop," he says, rolling his eyes. "Yeah it weirded me out at first but I got used to it after a while and it didn't ruin my life or anything like that."
"Y... you're not going to do ANYTHING to her for this!?" I shout.
"Why would I?" he scoffs. "What Spinelle does on her off time is her own business, and gettin' laid this early'll take away all the fancy allure of pussy that makes guys act like total dumbfucks about it when they get in their teens. Reinhold ain't gonna be puttin' it on a pedestal, and that's how it should be."

Aaaand done. Ten thousand words, forty-two pages of the SUFFERING INTERLUDE that I promised almost a year ago. Hopefully it was worth the wait.

I had a decent amount of it done prior to starting this thread, but staggered the posts anyways because Reasons. It turnedout that I finished up writing just as I got to the last few posts, so I think it turned out alright.

Legitimately the most depressing thing I have ever read in a quest thread. It may just be because I have been following PGQ for over a year now, and Citrine is one of my favorite characters, but the goddamn tragedy was overwhelming.

I'm not really sure if Reinhold has it in him to kill her. And really, it would be worse for Spinelle if he didn't. I think Lucianna in particular has it in her to make her suffer. Not saying Marianne and Citrine don't like him as much or anything, just that she strikes me as more vindictive.

It wouldn't be a surprise if he had gone back over things after the reaction to that revelataion. Also he will have heard a little about the Peaches Incident, which he might be able to use to piece things together during this trip if nothing else.

>>36594837
I really don't think that's in Reinhold's character. Not because he's over it, but because his response on the matter revolves around fear, passing out, and reverting to a childlike state. The most I could see being possible is him manageing to summon enough willpower to stay numb enough to perform basic functions. One of his friends would probably kill her if they could though. My own personal preference would be to force an epiphany, simply because it produces the most unbelievable agony in cases like this, and its the thing that best leads to catharsis for the victims in. The people who cry for blood are overwhelmingly unrelated third parties or just friends of the victims, not victims themselves

Reposting the song from last thread:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3NoDEu7kpg

I ask you, dear mother
You know I am a proper girl
Of my prudeness I am justly proud

I ask you, dear mother
You know I'm so much stronger than
These vulgar urges that now scream so loud

Then tell me, dear mother
Why I see him joking there
Why his pale blue eyes still chill my spine

I feel him, I see him
The sun caught in his auburn hair
It makes him seem so heavenly divine

This stupid
Dense moron
Has crept beneath my skin
I want him
I need him
Why can't I let him in?

It's not my fault
I'm not to blame
It is this common man
This brute who set this flame

It's not my fault
If in your plan
How could I fall for such an
Irritating man?

Protect me, dear mother
Don't let me lose my wits at least
Don't let this dummy through my heart of stone

Destroy Luciana
And let my precious be released
So Reinhold can be mine and mine alone

This stupid
Dense moron
This aching in my head
Chose me, not
The others
It's me that you must wed

Please have mercy on him
Please have mercy on me
But he will be mine
Or he will burn!
>>
The worst part is that to Reinhold, Spinelle will still be the person who looked after him and cared for him for the first seven years of his life before she got taken over by a monster. That's probably the biggest reason why it's very unlikely he would be able or willing to kill her. Even serious sexual abuse doesn't get rid of that stuff, which is part of why it hurts so much.

In the book, Frollo was very different. He was a stern but relatively kind archdeacon with a passion for nerdy shit like astronomy. He treated his delinquant younger brother and Quasimodo with selfless care. Then he fall in love for the first time and everything go to hell.

"Oh..." Arnaud looks at you with more pity than you've ever seen on a man's face before. "...so it was THAT bad..."
"Yeah," you nod. "And that's why I'm coming along, I'm gonna kill those things and then go back to Citrine and tell her that her parents were avenged."
"I see. That's definitely a noble goal."

Noble or not, you made a decision to kill anything that hurt Citrine and that's what you're going to do.

"But I ought to warn you against acting rash," Arnaud says. "I'm sure that you don't want her to lose any more family to those things."
"Of course not," you reply. "I'll play it safe."
"That's good to hear," he nods.

As the old, worn-down buildings of Cateno become visible in the horizon, Arnaud steers the Wyvern to fly lower and lower in the sky. It looks like you're going to be landing soon enough.

He does that for his friends rather than himself, like how he protected Citrine even during the abuse period. Since Spinelle is unlikely to engage him in sword combat even for an instant, she's not going to get him into red mist mode.

Oh, I like it too. But I really haven't liked this interlude much.

Ideally, this should have been an interlude broken up into several parts and placed throughout the story. Dumping it all off on us at once like this ruins any kind of tension it has or the drama it entails. Maybe separating it into Citrine losing her parents, and then into the brothel business, and then Reinhold's PTSD would have made it feel like it had an impact.
We just got the entire backstory of two main characters in the span of half a thread, and it's been a chore to read through because of how blasé all the conversations are written as.
I just can't feel excited or emotionally invested in it. I'm really glad that we're back with Reinny and Naudy. I can picture how those two are supposed to be reacting as opposed to an exposition dump of monumental proportions.

>>36595939
Reinhold having experiences where the girl stops when he asks are probably going to be the best thing for him. He clearly gets aroused and stuff, he just freaks and feels like everything is out of control. Situations where they stop on demand seem the best way to help him feel safe.

Bizarrely this is making the threesome route sound like the most healing, not only does the meido seem like the most comforting/mature girl, it's the only conceivable setup where there could be someone present as emotional support while another was doing lewds with the training wheels on.

Correct. He ran away and joined the army roughly 5 years after the flashback ended, if I recall correctly.
>>

>So reinholdt got raped. Like, more than onceish. And had a really shitty upbringing. like, fucking terrible. Right?

He was raped during the five years that followed up until he flew away and joined the army, on Citrine's insistence.

Cateno is just a hive of scum and villainy, and nobody but Citrine, Volker and Adrien ever cared about him during that time.

>>36596202

I really don't agree, this should have been something that had real emotional impact.
I was really expecting more than for it to be 'vomited' as it were.

>>36596185
>>36596057
I also don't agree with that, because Citrine's lines read as someone who was merely mildly irritated or scared instead of on the brink of clinical depression.

If that was intended, then it probably would have worked way better for the tone it was going for if it was split up into parts so the reader couldn't follow each part back-to-back and notice that the tone and pacing didn't change despite being huge character changes in the story.

A lot of Citrine's lines also read like someone in shock. Overwhelming trauma will often just wash over a person and make them mildly numb for a while, before they to fall apart and just cry themselves into a mess once they get a chance to relax.

Stuff like this was the operating condition for a lot of people in the trenches in WW1, who trundled off to the front having ben raised on these absurd boy's own adventure propaganda stories, only to get half of all their childhood friends blown apart next to them within a few weeks because nobody realized "pals battalions" might backfire when people start seeing all their pals get systematically cut down around them.
>>
>>36596299
I'm not sure most people could handle much more emotion than that level of trauma inflicted on a character we've mostly just seen as cheerful and happy with life, plus the prostitution thing hit way too close to home for me after seeing some of it first-hand.

As a random thing that's pretty obvious, all the girls at the brothel are named after gemstones.
Spinelle = Spinel
Emeraude = Emerald
Ruri = Lapis lazuli
and Citrine is self-explanatory.

Oh and I remember you saying how you suck at naming your characters but I've always thought Spinelle was a perfect name for a creepy, child raping prostitute. So, y'know congrats.

Which, again, is why I think it would have been more effective being split up into parts.

>>36596433
>A lot of Citrine's lines also read like someone in shock.

No, they really, really don't. If that was intended, then more dialogue was necessary to establish that. Which is why some of those scenes deserved their own threads instead of single-post off-handed mentions. Especially when they were hinted at for a large chunk of the quest.

I don't want to take up more of the thread with this, because we can go back and forth forever if it's down to a matter of opinions.

That's because Reinhold is retarded and can't think more than a few minutes ahead of himself to realize just how many people's lives he fucked up by being a selfish prick.

"Before we land and fight these Leviathans," you say, "do you have any pointers on how to fight them?"
"...pointers?" Arnaud glances at you.
"Yeah, like if they have any weak spots or special abilities that I'd need to look out for. I know that Salamanders can breathe fire, but I don't really know anything about Leviathans aside from that they're huge and live in water."

You REALLY don't want to end up running at one of these things and end up getting hit in the face with... acid breath or something. You don't even know how you'd deal with that.

"Hmm..." Arnaud strokes his beard. "Leviathans lack the breath attacks that Salamanders and true Dragons have, so you don't have to worry about that."
"Thank God," you breathe a sigh of relief.
"Attack-wise, they mainly use their long tails like whips when they're not biting directly," he explains. "They're able to move them much faster than you'd expect, so be wary of that."

Reinhold can't really relate to Karel's daddy issues. Being an orphan was, in itself, the least of his problems for a long time.

I agree Reinhold looks up to him, but he will have picked up that it's a sore point for LOT of people around him, especially after Ariane's reaction, and Gregory's face of thunder the following day. Rein isn't THAT dense.

"Alright," you nod.
"Weakness-wise..." Arnaud continues, "There's their eyes, but that's the case for pretty much everything. Their scales are pretty tough all over, but you know Dead Line Fault so that shouldn't be too much of an issue," he laughs. "Just turn a little crack into a gaping wound and keep on attacking it until the monster's dead."

That shouldn't be too hard... you hope.

"Alright, I think I have a decent enough idea of what to do," you say. "But I still don't get why they're attacking Cateno itself. When they got Citrine's boat, they were in the river and all the stories I heard from fishermen back when I was little were pretty much along those lines too."
"I honestly don't know for sure," Arnaud replies. "They might be being driven from their territory by something else and are just angry that there are humans along their escape route..."

Suddenly he looks a lot more concerned than he had been.

"What's wrong?" you ask. "Is there some other reason that you're thinking of?"
"Those Leviathans could also be trying to building a nest," Arnaud replies. "And since they lay eggs on land, that would be a logical reason why they'd be attacking Cateno like this... but I don't know enough about their egglaying cycles to be sure."

So it could be anything... that's just great.

"I think it goes without saying that should they actually be attempting to build a nest, you need to destroy every single egg that you find," Arnaud says. "The last thing we need is more of these things moving inland."
"Got it," you nod.

with your questions answered, you take a deep breath and steel your nerves as Arnaud lands the Wyvern not too far from the forest that lies on the outskirts of town.

"Umm, why'd you land here?" you ask. "Wouldn't it be better to attack from the sky?"
"I can't deny that it would, but Wyverns are the weakest type of lesser dragon and spook far too easily for me to be able to guide it any closer to the town while it's under attack. If I tried, it'd be liable to throw both of us out of the harness in midair while it tried to flee."

After making sure that the Wyvern is in an area where it won't feel the need to flee and strand the two of you here in Cateno, Arnaud leads you a fair distance away from it.

"We're rushing in now?" you ask.
"That's right," Arnaud replies. "I'm going to focus on attacking those monsters, so you try and clear out any civilians who are still in danger first, okay?"
"Alright," you nod.
"And don't worry, I'll try and leave any ones that only have one eye for you to take care of yourself," he says, winking at you.

With a deep breath, Arnaud turns to face the town and holds his arms out to either side.

"Come to my aid, oh beast of steel," Arnaud chants as Script coils around his outstretched arms. "Place within my hands the swords of kings, and let us rend asunder all which stands before us! Double Fragment Blader!"

In a flash, the Script vanishes and you see a crude sword in either of Arnaud's hands.

"...you're not using a regular sword?" you ask.

And then you realize that you didn't notice him wearing a sword at all during the ride out here.

"No, they don't tend to last when I go all-out nowadays," Arnaud sighs. "and I'd prefer not to waste the King's coin on replacing them."
"...you have the same problem as Volker did?" you ask, staring at him in total confusion.

So

Why didn't Citrine work somewhere long enough to get a boat ticket and just go back to Perricone?

Why did she stay around Cateno when she said she knew no one there, but had friends back in Perricone?

Is Citrine retarded?

"Not in any way, Reinhold," Arnaud says to you as you feel the air around the two of you grow heavier somehow. You recognize the smell as the same as when there's a storm going on outside... but the sky is completely devoid of clouds.
"Uh, what's going on?" you ask, staring at your mentor.
"It's been a while so that's why I'm doing this away from the Wyvern," he replies. "I'd hate to end up spooking it myself after I went through the trouble of landing it away from our quarry..." he laughs.

You feel your hair starting to stand on end, and the bracelet on your wrist is rippling as well. Is this fear? ...no, it's something else.

>No boats going out to another port. No waitress jobs open in the shabby restaurants in this town. It's a fucking trap, that's what this place is. Just a shitty river to the east and woods that are filled with God-knows-what everywhere else. And to top it all off, I have NOTHING to my name and nowhere to go. Can't even get a fucking job because everything that I'm able to do is already being done by girls who are every bit as desperate as I am.

May she was ashamed of you know being a whore. Maybe she didn't think she would be able to look her old boyfriends in the eyes after what she had done.

Besides, it's not like she never tried to get away. The whole plan with Volker was their best plan to get out together and we know how that panned out. Leaving wasn't the hard part, I imagine they wanted to have somewhere to go to as well.

"Hahaha, there we go..." Arnaud chuckles to himself as crackles of light begin to blink in and out around him. "It's been so long, I'd almost forgotten how this feels."

There's something arcing off Arnaud's swords. And not just those, it's all over his body, crackling in the air as the streams of light ebb and flow.

...not light. Lightning.

"I'm going on ahead of you," Arnaud says, his voice echoing in an unnatural way as he speaks. "Even with Tailwind, I doubt you'd be able to catch up with me..."

And with a crack of thunder itself, Arnaud dashes onwards towards the besieged town, streaming a trail of electricity as he goes.

So that favor that Arnaud called in way back when... it was from an Elemental Spirit? That's the only reason that you can fathom that he'd be able to do... THAT. But now isn't the time to be awed, you have more important matters to attend to.

And so, you take a deep breath and ready a spell of your own.

"Howling winds," you chant as you start running towards the town, "gather beneath my feet and guide me on my journey! Taiwind!"

As your pace double... triples... quadruples, you steer a course for your destination.

well, his dad was stabbed to death because Cateno is the detroit of Granache, and his mother went into labor not long after that. She left him on the doorstep of the only building that didn't seem to be deserted and falling apart, and then she died from stress of having her husband brutally murdered in front of her combined with the granachean equivalent of a back alley birth.

They were actually mentioned in an early thread because I'd eaten them the night before and I still had a taste for them at the time I was writing.

>I can't decide if I'm proud of being a fourth-level reader or ashamed that I didn't make that hypothesis sooner.

To be fair we don't know much about contractors and the setting is filled with improbably old badasses so there was little reasons to think Arnaud was special.

1. The royal family loves theme naming.
2. Reinhold needs to show off Marius so he'll spawn four genius artists and teach them doodling.

>Could Reinhold, if he so desired to do so, buy out Cateno and try to make it not-a-shithole?
He doesn't have enough money to buy the entire town, that'd take a good long while of saving up.
and just throwing money at it wouldn't solve the issue of cateno's residents being shit
