{(Pissed) Stop, we're here. It seems some bandits think that our home was a good base because monsters and beasts avoid it.}(Rina)
{How are we going to do this?}(Snow)
{I'll sn-}(Rina)
"Enough talk time to fight! *Dash*"(Hail)
{{{Hail you idiot!}}}
{Shit! I'll use [Shadow step] and attack from the back. You 2 figure it out as you go.}(Rina)
*fwum*
I then shadow-stepped to the back of the cave.
Bleh, what's that terrible smell.
I then looked around to find cages with beastmen kept inside them. I also saw 5 men screwing a few of them.
"Get your asses out here now! We're under attack!"(Random bandit 1)
I then heard a bandit call for reinforcements and the others grumbling about it.
Heh, nice work you 3. And well you guys aren't going to even make it outside.
*fwum*
I then used shadow step again.
*fuwm* *shiik* *thump*
*fuwm*
*fuwm* *shiik* *thump*
*fuwm*
*fuwm* *shiik* *thump*
*fuwm*
*fuwm* *shiik* *thump*
*fuwm*
*fuwm* *shiik* *thump*
*fuwm*
I then used shadow step and decapitated all of them before they even realized what happened.
*Ding*
[You've leveled up 13 times.]
(Stunned) Huh? (Shocked) I leveled up that much from this trash!? They wouldn't even be a problem if they knew I was here!
"Hey what's ta- *thump*"(Random bandit 1)
The bandit from before appeared and I threw an ice dagger at his head, and it pierced right through his head, and he died on the spot.
*Sigh*
This is just sad. They can't even put up a challenge.
Now I'm weirdly starting to miss master's hunting training. At least then I got a challenge. Does this make me a battle junkie? *Shakes head* Nah, I'm not that bad. Hail, maybe.
Welp let's go see how those 3 are doing.
*fuwm*
I then shadow stepped about midway when I started hearing screams for help. Granted it was the bandits.
*fuwm*
"H-Help! Monster! These gi-*Shiick*"(Random bandit 2)
"(Annoyed) Shut up! Come on! Someone give me a damn challenge!"(Hail)
When I got out of the shadow, I saw a man crawling begging for help and an annoyed Hail begging for a fight.
{(Confused) What's up with Hail?}(Rina)
{She's bored. These bandits aren't even good for levels.}(Izz)
{You want to tell me what happened when I left?}(Rina)
{*Yawn* Sure. Not like there's anything interesting going on. But quick question.}(Snow)
{Sure, shoot.}(Rina)
{(Curious) What was back there?}(Snow)
{Meh, nothing that interesting. Just like 5 men screwing some people they captured. Granted they are all dead now. Cut their head before any of them realized I was there. Though silver lining is I got 13 levels.}(Rina)
{(Shocked) Just how strong were they? Every single one here doesn't feel to be much more than max of level 15.}(Snow)
{Not a clue. Didn't bother checking. They didn't feel all that strong. Maybe in the 30's. Honestly, they died so easily that it was kind of disappointing. It actually made me start to miss master's hunting training.}(Rina)
{*Holds head* Elder sister you're starting to sound like Hail, now.}(Izz)
{big sis.}(Rina)
{(Confused) What was that? I didn't quite catch it. It was too faint.}(Izz)
{I said big sis.}(Rina)
{(Confused) What?}(Izz)
{I said big sis dammit! Why do you call me elder sister but Snow big sis! It's not fair! (Embarrassed) There, I said it! Happy now!?}(Rina)
{Pfft, your jealous that I call Snow big sis and you elder sister?}(Izz)
{*Blush* (Embarrassed) yes.}(Rina)
{Speak up. I can't hear you.}(Izz)
{*Blush* (Embarrassed) yes.}(Rina)
{Speak up.}(Izz)
"*Blush* (Embarrassed and mad) I said yes, dammit! I don't like being called something so formal and up tight! Happy now!?"(Rina)
{Haha, I heard you the first time. Just wanted you to say it out loud. If you didn't like how I called you, you could have just said something big sis.}(Izz)
{*pssh* did you need to tease me?}(Rina)
{No but it's fun.}(Izz)
By the time Izz was done teasing me my face was as red as a tomato and the white fur of my ears took on a faint shade of pink.
{Are you 2 done? I'd like to tell you what happened when you left.}(Snow)
Just as I thought I couldn't get any more embarrassed Snow chimes is.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
{(Embarrassed) O-Oh s-sorry, proceed.}(Rina)
{Heh, cute. I'll make a note to tell whoever you marry about this.}(Snow)
{(Embarrassed) Please don't. I'd die of embarrassment.}(Rina)
{(Smug) Maybe. Now to what happened.}(Snow)
----------------------------------------
(8 minutes earlier)
(Snow Pov)
{Shit! I'll use [Shadow step] and attack from the back. You 2 figure it out as you go.}(Rina)
*fwum*
"And she's gone. (Annoyed) Dammit Hail. Don't just go charging in without a plan you damn muscle head! *Sigh* Bli-"(Snow)
"Izz. Call me Izz."(Izz)
"*Sigh* Fine. Izz you go in and I-"(Snow)
"Aaaahhhhh! Monster! Demon! Help!"
"Scratch that. I don't think she need's our help."(Snow)
I then looked over to see Hail cutting down 2 bandits looking really bored.
"*Shiik* *Yawn* Bring your boss! None of you are fun!"(Hail)
Hail then started yelling that.
"Tch. (Annoyed) At least use some proper form when using your claws."(Izz)
And to my surprise Izz got really annoyed at Hails lack of proper form and just swing her claws around.
"(Conflicted) Should we go help her?"(Snow)
"*Shrug* Let her do it herself. We'll just watch her back."(Izz)
"O- ah she's moving in let's go."(Snow)
*Nod*
"We then followed Hail in and ended up killing 2 guys each that tried to sneak up on us. We also got a level, which confused us."(Snow)
"Hmm, maybe it was the exp left after the split. I mean level 31 doesn't split evenly between 4. So maybe we each got left over exp?"(Rina)
"I guess that makes sense but, still. Why a level?"(Snow)
"Do you know what their levels were, roughly?"(Rina)
"Like seventeen. They were weirdly stronger than the others."(Snow)
"Hmm, 31 divided by 4 is 7.75. And you both killed 2 people 10 levels above so if what master said is to be believed you just barely made the threshold for a level up. *Shrug* Well it's fine either way. You done, yet!?"(Rina)
I then called out to Hail.
"*Sigh* Yeah! I've finished them all off! It was very boring! Though I did get 5 levels from all of them."(Hail)
"*Nod* Now go collect all of their heads and bodies."(Rina)
"(Annoyed) Why do I have to do that?"(Hail)
"They are your kills, and we can get money if we bring their bodies as proof of subjugation to the guards or guild."(Rina)
"Bu-"(Hail)
"*Glare* No buts."(Rina)
"*Droop* fine."(Hail)
"*Pats head* Good girl. Now if you need us, we'll be in the back collecting the beastmen for transport back to the city. Also don't forget to take any valuables off the corpses."(Rina)
"*Sigh* (Annoyed) fine."(Hail)
She then went out and started collecting the corpses.
"Well, let's do our part. You 2 look around for any valuables they might have here."(Rina)
"(Conflicted) Uh big sis, don't you think what we're doing is no better than the bandits?"(Izz)
"No way. We're just taking the spoils from the job we did. *Shrug* This is what all adventurers do. If we kill the bandits, we can take anything they had. Well, beside slaves those are a no no in Ella's country. But in the ones that allow that kind of casual slavery you could.
And plus, it's not stealing if they purposefully put it in your own home."(Rina)
"*Sigh* You're just saying you don't care."(Izz)
"*Snap* Bingo. So, how are we getting them back to the kingdom. There's like 15 of them. Can we teleport?"(Rina)
"*Shacks head* Not unless we combine together and I'm in control. If we did that, we could get just outside the gate and have a little mp left. Though we'll be lightheaded due to the lack of mp."(Snow)
"*Sigh* Well, if that's what we have to do. It's what we have to do. Because I don't feel like walking for days just to get back."(Rina)
I then left for the back.
"*Smile* Why hello there."(Rina)
When I arrived at the back again, I greeted all the beastmen and put the dead bodies in my inventory. They all gave me a fearful look. The ones from before that were left out looked even more terrified.
"(Confused) *Touch's face* Do I look that scary?"(Rina)
"(Terrified) W-W-What a-are you going to do t-to us?"(Beastmen number 1)
Suddenly one of the female beastmen in the cages spoke up. She looks to be
"(Confused) *Head tilt* A lion? *Shakes head* Well doesn't matter. I'm here to help."(Rina)
When I said that some had look of hope, some disbelief, and some that looked with suspicion. But the one that stood out was the lion girls. It wasn't any of the above but one of shock and fear.
She's hiding something. There's no way I would mistake that look. But what is the question. Hmm, *Shrug* I guess I'll figure it out later.
"First, let's get these cages out of the way."(Rina)
*Snap* *Crrr* *Shatter*
I then casted a spell to freeze the cages and shatter into dust.
"*Clap* Step 1 complete. Now to w-"(Rina)
"You, done yet? We finished looting the place."(Snow)
Then Snow and Izz appeared, and Izz stiffed and had a slight blush when she saw the lion girl
Heh looks like someone is in love. Play it cool. Don't let them know what you're thinking.
"Ah, then let's head out. Hail should be about done now."(Rina)
We then walked out and met Hail halfway.
{Hail we're combining and teleporting.}(Rina)
{*annoyed eye roll* Do we have to?}(Hail)
{Yes, or do you want to spend a few days walking back.}(Rina)
*Tch*
{(Annoyed) Fine. But how are we going to do that?}(Hail)
{We'll just play it off as us leaving first.}(Rina)
{*Eye roll* Whatever.}(Hail)
We then got out of the cave.
"Well, us 3 will go first while Snow will take you behind us."(Rina)
We then all combined and Snow kept control.
"*Sigh* Being left to do the dirty work. Alright gather around! If someone gets left behind, I'm not coming back!"(Snow)
They all then swarmed around Snow.
"[Group teleportation]"(Snow)
*Flash*
----------------------------------------
*Flash*
"{{{*Lightheaded* Ugh.}}}"
We then arrived in front of the gate and were hit with a wave of lightheadedness.
{Mana deficiency sucks.}(Rina)
{You said it.}(Hail)
{Defiantly.}(Izz)
Mhmm.
{Let me take over. I'll talk to the guards and get this sorted out.}(Rina)
Sure.
I then switched places with Snow.
(Confused) The lightheadedness is gone. But how?
{Maybe it's because our statuses are different? Not sure.}(Snow)
*Shakes head* Now's not the time. These girls need to cover up.
I then walked over to the guards.
"You go get the knights and you go get some blankets."(Rina)
When I said that they only gave me a dumb founded look.
(Annoyed) I don't got the time to be playing these games. *Sigh* Fuck it.
"Cover your ear!"(Rina)
The moment I yelled that everyone, but the guards covered their ears.
[Flare]
I then shot a flare spell up and
*BOOM!*
It made a loud booming sound. And the guards' faces turned to one of pain.
I told you to cover your ears. (Annoyed) But damn, do I hate this spell. Its only purpose is to be loud and seen. It's not even that deadly. Most damage it does is make you temporarily deaf and blind.
*Shakes head* Not the time. Th-
"(Worried) What's going on! We heard a lo- Oh it's just you."(Knight Captain)
The Knight Captain was rushing over asking what was happening until he saw me.
"(Fake offended) I'm hurt. How could you say "Oh it's just you" like I do this a lot."(Rina)
"*Eye roll* says the one who's had multiple complaints of the same thing."(Knight Captain)
"(Offended) I will have you know that was not me. *Looks away* That was Master."(Rina)
"*Eye roll* (Sarcastic) Whatever you say. (Annoyed) Now why did you shot magic near the city."(Knight Captain)
"Well, the guards weren't listening when I said to go get the knights and some blankets f-"(Rina)
"(Irritated) And why would you need the knights and blankets?"(Knight Captain)
I then a dead pan face and pointed over my shoulder, and he looked behind me. He then looked away with a blush.
"Ahem. I apologize for what I said. That is a reasonable thing to do."(Knight Captain)
He then ordered a knight to go get some blankets for the naked women
*Eye roll* Yeah, I'm definitely telling Meer he was checking other girls out.
"So how did you come across these people?"(Knight Captain)
"*Shug* I was out doing something with my sisters when we came across a bandit camp. We destroyed it and took these people back here to get them help."(Rina)
"(Confused) Sisters? So, the rumor was true?"(Knight Captain)
"(Confused) What rumors?"(Rina)
"*Eyebrow Raise* You haven't heard?"(Knight Captain)
"(Confused) No? I haven't been in the city since this morning."(Rina)
"Ah, then I guess you haven't heard. 3 girls looking almost exactly like you register at the guild a little before noon and said they were your younger siblings. There was such a big uproar when they left the knights had to step in."(Knight Captain)
"Ooh. Yeah, that was them. Though they didn't say anything about a big uproar at the guild when they left."(Rina)
"So, about the bandits."(Knight Captain)
"Dead."(Rina)
"Do you have the bodies?"(Knight Captain)
*Nod*
"Please take them out."(Knight Captain)
"Sure."(Rina)
I then took out the 40 dead bandits.
"(Surprised) Huh, well that's impressive. They all died in one clean strike."(Knight Captain)
"*Eye roll* Sure. Is there a reward for their heads?"(Rina)
"Hmm, bandits in general are 4 copper dead or 8 alive. 4 have bounties of 20 silver and 1 of them has a bounty of 10 gold."(Knight Captain)
"(Shocked) Just what did that guy do to get a bounty of 10 gold!?"(Rina)
"*Shrug* Not a clue. I just know their bounties for when they turn up dead or alive."(Knight Captain)
"*Sigh* Well I've got other things to do. Send the money when you process their deaths."(Rina)
"*Eye roll* (Annoyed) Fine."(Knight Captain)
*fuwm*
*fuwm*
"guh."(Lion Girl)
*Catch* *fuwm*
I then used shadow stepped behind the lion girl and knocked her out and shadow stepped away before I was noticed.
*bite*
[Slave Seal]
*Flash*
*Flash*
I then put a slave seal on her and teleported back to our room and put her on the couch.
{(Pissed) Rina! What the hell do you think you're doing!?}(Izz)
"Yesh, no need to yell. I can hear you just fine. Snow take over."(Rina)
{Sure.}(Snow)
*Flash*
Snow then took over and we separated.
(Surprised) Oh we keep are clothes on convenient.
"*Grabs collar* (Pissed) What the hell do you think you're doing?"(Izz)
"*Smacks hands off* She was being suspicious, so I want to question her."(Rina)
"(Pissed) Th-"(Izz)
"And before you say something like, then why did you put a slave seal on her. I did it so that I won't have to use torture on your love. *Glare* I unlike some people don't want to ruin any chance you have with getting with her. I'll get rid of the seal once I have my answers."(Rina)
At those words the room became so quiet you could hear everyone's heart beats. Izz looked like she wanted to say more but, didn't.
