Phew...
He is done talking.
I tried to voice out my request now.
“King Folga, I have a request.”
“Sure thing. As long as I can accommodate it.”
“Can I request for a ship? I need to get back to the Human Royal Capital.”
“Hmm. Little miss, I don’t know the circumstances you are in but currently, there is no ship that is readily available because of the celebration.”
“Eh. Then I can wait until the celebration ends.”
“Little miss, the celebrations lasts a month or sometimes extended.”
“Eh?!”
You kidding me right?! The king then smiled and…no…please no…
“Little girl, if you want to get back to the human continent, you may travel by foot in the elven forests but it will take you more than ten months…”
No…no…no…
“But due to circumstances, there will be a small scale war happening between the elves and the dwarves so I don’t recommend for you to go there if you don’t want to get mix up ok.”
Hey…hey…come on…
“SO! I recommend that you should try to head to the demon capital and try to ride an airship that will take you to the human capital in just seven days! The travel to the demon capital will take two months by foot.”
I knew it. Quest flag raised!
“Uhh… I understand…”
“I am sorry little miss, however! I will take on any request if it is within my abilities! I will also accommodate your needs while inside my domain!”
We left the castle. I feel dejected. It seems that my journey now is to go to the demon capital. The Land of Mana Gathering.
We got back to the manor of the foxes. Izuna rushes to us worriedly and then hugged us.
“Miss Asagao! Higanbana! What happened?!”
“Don’t worry mother! We won against that pompous prince.”
“We are fine Lady Izuna, how is Alstroe?”
She sighs in relief. It seems she also don’t like her daughter getting married to Begol.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
“Alstroe is sleeping right now. The menstrual cramp seems to be lessening but let her sleep too. I will have the servants make some dinner now so you two rests.”
“Un.”
“Okay, mother."
Higanbana and I headed to a room where the door is widely open then we sat on the wooden porch.
In the wide garden, there is a tree blooming. Cherry petals…it was beautiful. I don’t know how the season works here but it is now sprouting beautiful pink petals.
It was really pretty with the moon shining over it. Outside this garden is a bamboo thicket so we can see bamboos peeking over the wall.
She looks at me with an eye full of remorse. Her ears and tails hang down as she stares at me apologetically and clenches her fists in shame.
“Miss Asagao…I am sorry.”
“Higan…”
“About me trying to use you and Alstroe.”
“We would have helped though if you ask us normally.”
“But my intentions aren’t good at all that time…”
“Higan…”
“You see, when I was smaller, I don’t have anyone to play with. Father also passed away when I was young. The kid in the villages will avoid me because I am from a prestige race. So I am a bit awkward towards other people.”
"..."
"It became impossible for me to talk to people normally now even at given circumstances and opportunity."
I see.
Now that you mention it, we are almost at the same age if you based it on appearance. So when I arrived, she had someone to play now even if it just a short time.
“My expression became stiff like this because I don’t express much emotion due to lack of communicating with people. You could say that I don't express emotion because I wanted to but it is more than I don't know what's the appropriate emotions to show to please people.”
I always wondered why your face is deadpan… but that’s just sad…
“When I met Miss Asagao and Alstroe, I just have bad thoughts on my mind…but…but…”
She began crying…her face isn’t stiff anymore…I can see now her genuine self. It was rather sad even though she is cute with such flushed face.
Her lips quivers and her body is trembling as she shed tears of remorse. I am thinking that there's no reason not to forgive her, in fact, it is only natural for girls her age to be a bit selfish, isn't it.
“*hic* I felt really happy *hic* I was able to...*hic* made friends…*hic* and yet…*sob*”
This girl, Higanbana, with such short time being with her, I feel like there is a special connection between us.
Just as I thought, like me who was looking for familial love, she, on the other hand, is lonely and wants someone as a friend to cry and comfort her.
“I don’t know*hic*..if I can still call you*hic* a friend…”
“Higan, I too want to be your friend and I think Alstroe-nee wants too”
“But!”
I came closer and had her head lean over my chest and embraced her with my arms. I felt how warm her body is and how soft she is. I can feel her body trembling but she isn't averting her body from me.
“It’s okay Higan. From now on, drop any formalities to me as friends don’t do that.”
“A-Asagao..*hic*…”
“Higan, if you still think we you can’t be our friend, I will seriously going to be mad at you!”
“Uh..okay…*hic*….UWAAAAAAAAAHHH”
Her tears come forth making her burst into a loud cry. I am tearing up too while embracing her. I can see Izuna peeking and cry too.
Hey!
.
.
.
After her outburst.
“I knew it, Asagao, I still feel guilty.”
“Are you still on to that?”
“I at least wants to do something for you.”
Hmm… Ah!
Then Higan, let me touch your ears and tail!”
“FUEH?”
“Um… no good?”
“No, if it is Asagao, it's fine.”
“Ok… here I go!”
I tried feeling her ears, she twitched a bit but I continue the assault. I tried tracing the shape of her ears. She was letting out a small moan. I tried touching inside. It was soft and feels good.
I then proceeded to her tail. I was brushing it with my hands. It feels soft and good. I tried feeling it with my face. I could get addicted to this warmness. Every now and then, she twitches.
“A-A-Asagao…”
“I’m sorry! I got carried away!”
“No, it’s fine.”
After that Izuna calls us for dinner, then we decided to check up on Alstroe.
Well, she was still holding her stomach but it seems it is not painful as earlier.
We decided to sleep together.
After that, Alstroe made a full recovery. We told her what happened in our battle and she got fired up.
She marches towards the king’s castle!
I tried to stop her you know!!!
The King accepted her invitation for a duel. As per my suggestion and recommendations, the fight will go like this.
Alstroemeria
VS
The King, His Four Sons, and The Seven Generals.
With no spectators but people related to them. I told Alstroe- to hold back on Izuna because I don’t want her sexy body getting damaged.
.
.
.
The end result?
[Avidya Severance! Destroyer of the Seventh Hell!]
BOOM!
Casualties: The arena and its vicinity turned into rubbles. ¼ of the kingdom castle received a shockwave from Alstroe and now, it is in a sorry state. There was about four to five island that was ruptured from the middle because of the stray shockwave from her kicks.
All of King Folga’s son is now bedridden. The seven generals were in tatters after the battle.
The king himself is extremely tough and powerful. He was the last man standing and receives a kick combo from Alstroe before going down.
Izuna was spared with a few bruises after being knocked down by Alstroe by a chop in the back of her neck. The King only said…
“That was good beat up for everyone! Even my pompous son now learned his lesson and wants to become more proper!! That girl!! Absurd!! GAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”
It’s good we didn’t have to pay anything.
After two days, we are now leaving for the demon capital.
Higanbana?
Of course, she is joining us. When she asked her mother, her belongings were already packed by Izuna.
Dimensional Storage is so useful at times like this!!
When we are leaving the Capital of the Beast Kins, the king himself see us off in our departure with Izuna and some other generals.
This is a really lively and fun city...I thought to myself.
