"Wha...?" The commander voiced, confused. Some behind had the same reaction as their leader did, but most just had a look of disbelief as their guards dropped one by one.

"Yep, like what Proin just said," Tenur reinforced. Laura was nodding with a smug face not dissimilar to the one Tenur had just now

"So deal with it, racist bastards," Laura crossed her arms to emphasize her point. The guards who had good reflexes immediately raised their swords at just the slightest movements she made, earning themselves a smirk from her.

After a few seconds, the commander sheathed his sword as he breathed out. There were looks of bewilderment as his squad stared at him wide-eyed, as if saying 'what're you doing!?' The commander merely ignored the dumbfoundedness of his squad and walked over to Tenur while offering a handshake.

"Commander Riz...?" a soldier asked with slight apprehension.

"I believe Proin. There's no point in lying since he can't benefit from it, and the fact that its not eating us-"

"She's," Laura corrected. The commander gave a silent yet apologetical bow to them before resuming with his reply.

"The fact that she isn't eating us is proof enough for me to declare her non-hostile," the commander cleared his expression of all doubt before introducing himself, "my name's Riz Ethen, but everyone just calls me Riz," he gave a slight bow but unlike before, it was low enough to not offend the opposition yet high enough to not give a weak impression.

"I'm Tenur. She's Laura. And this is..." Tenur trailed off as Denka gave a yawn.

"Denka. Name's Denka," Denka said in a groggy tone, "would ten out of ten shake your hand if I had one."

"More preferably an entire body," Tenur muttered under his breath, but it was quickly taken back when he heard Denka's low growl.

"So gentlemen, can we get back to your village or something?" Denka said with hints of sarcasm. If Riz heard it, he didn't show he did as he replied.

"No, the jungle's too hard to trek during the night."

"But we can see just fine," Laura spoke what was on Tenur's mind.

"But we can't."

"Good point. What now then?" Tenur asked. Denka was silent for some reason. Either he knew Tenur could handle these kind of stuff after his first show of diplomatic conversation, or he was just being dick because Tenur and Laura could actually see.

"We head back to campsite. It's not far from here," Riz pointed from where he came from. Now that everything wasnt a blur, Tenur noticed light peeking through some leaves from a far, far away bush, bushes that perhaps camouflaged the camp from wild beasts, though something didn't add up.

"Then-"

"Why we weren't able to get here sooner? That's because for some reason, the closer we got to you, the more our balls burnt from within. Ultimately, there weren't casualties, only some weaker soldiers fainted due to the pain," he paused for a moment, wincing as if in pain, "they're still burning."

Since it was pointed out, Tenur could see some of the soldier's beginning to sweat and wince in pain as well. Their legs were struggling to stay apart, and since some were already at their limits, their hands were clutching the part of their armor that covered their groin and sacks.

"Make it stop..."

"Ugh..."

The sounds of their groans and moans could be heard if one listened closely enough.

"It's actually an effect of the Sperm Bomb-"

"Fertility bomb," Tenur corrected Denka.

"Ok, Fertility Bomb's sperm burn effect. It'll stop after all your sperms are burnt out," Denka paused, "and it's extremely contagious."
