Chapter 22: Teasing – the chapter

The place Eel ran to, per usual, was the garden around back… Well, forest.Compared to three years ago the vast amount of differing foliage - bright flowers, sturdy trees, vibrant herbs - all of this gathered and grown by the spirit group’s years of efforts. Group because it wasn’t just Leaf and even though most work gathering was thanks to Eel’s party. As soon as Eel walked out; into the open space left for (actual) exercise; a flurry of bright dots of various sizes and colours burst out from the surrounding plants to jump around her. Rubbing themselves against her letting her feel the soft warmth unique to an incorporeal body.Warm and comforting like being in a warm bath. Eel just chuckled as she would pat a few of the ones that she could, not moving too quickly as she didn’t want to blow them away aggressively. The colours of the sparkles would mostly be green and brown but there would be some blue as well as rarely some black and gold… Though black seemed more common than one would assume.These could also be split into three groups: the smallest is called a sprite and is just a cute little ball of emotion, tiny little guys smaller than one's palm, and the lowest level of spirits. Then there is the lesser spirit which is a spirit which has formed its own intellect, being larger due to the larger store of power within them but similarly they cannot form a physical form which traps both them and sprites to a cradle… Though Leaf told Eel that it was most likely Munzumira who did this to force them not to wander off and get into trouble which does show her softer side. And then, lastly, the type {Elizabeth’s Paradise Cradle} had the unfortunately most of…Suddenly through the balls of light two little green hands would explode out to grip the larger balls of fat that were on Eel’s torso.|Redeeming femmine quality found...| <Leaf>This was met with a twitching brow and ‘aggressive’ smile as the other spirit’s all made way, already used to Leaf’s jealous taunts and Eel’s violent outbursts. Her hand shoots out to grab onto Leaf’s head and lift her up off the ground - Leaf not struggling much causing her legs and hand to just sway in the wind like a doll. With her lack of facial movement other than occasional blinking this would be a very apt description.“And what is that meant to mean brat~” <Eel>|Make a perfect prince charming if it wasn’t for that venomous tongue...| <Leaf>“I want to hear that from you the least!” <Eel>To this Leaf just tilted her head to the side while looking directly into Eel’s eyes. She looked so innocent one may actually be tricked and think she had no idea what Eel was talking about. To this Eel was 4 seconds away from seeing how aerodynamic the little snake was only to be stopped.“She’ll only continue doin’ it ya know? Pree sure she’ll count it as ‘er win as long as you react so you should just hug ‘er an’ rub your tits all over ‘er~!” <Fuka>Fuka said while walking out the back with her hands behind her head - standard kite shield on her arm and longsword on her hip - she looked basically the same due to the help of some (usually difficult to obtain) eternal youth potions. Those bad boys require the morning dew off a leaf of a world tree, blood of a high-elf and scale of a dragon among plenty of hard to grow plants. To obtain such mighty treasures one would usually need to go through much peril… Unless you had a world tree out back and a high-dragon at the brothel training to join the staff. Speaking of the world tree… It seemed to be growing unusually well considering it usually took a long time for any tree to grow.<Not to mention it seems to have some insanely high-level magic around it that I can’t even recognise the element of… Surely this must be what aids in the growth… Perhaps there are more moves below the table than I first thought..>While thinking all this she also didn’t forget to follow advice and pull an unwilling Leaf’s face into her embrace. Hugging around her upper body fully prevented escape for the spirit queen - her loyal subjects just watching on causing the surroundings themselves to feel warm bringing on happy feelings in even the most dull hearted. “So wach-we gonna be doin’ today?” <Fuka> Fuka would already be dressed up as a white knight with the helmet being the only thing she was currently lacking - otherwise she was fully kitted up and even had a belt with various bottles, pouches and a knife for dismantling (as well as her sword). It was quite clear she was prepared to go out and do her job as an adventurer for once… Though this wasn’t rare these days as she often headed out with Elizabeth and Emily to take quests though occasionally she got ‘distracted’ leading them to spend some extra time but at least she always got paid for overtime.“Dunno, didn’t get a chance to check with your girlfriends fleshlight since she’s always so bashful on the mornings~.” <Eel>Fuka would just chuckle softly while massaging her own chin.“Well, we probs can’t take on ya target yet but we probs can begin to head more towards the south-east but if we do I wanna bring big Lyd’s... “ <Fuka>“Do we need the additional support?” <Eel>“Nah, I jus’ don’t wanna be frustrated since we’ll be spendin’ time away from the brothel~!” <Fuka>Chuckling merrily, not even embarrassed to share her reasoning for bringing another member along.“If that’s the case we could always rent some hors-” <Eel>“That’s not a half bad idea…” <Fuka>Fuka seemed to know be in deep thought as she looked towards the ground with a surprisingly serious look on her face, some drool could be seen dripping within a few seconds causing Eel’s brow to furrow and smile to become conflicted.<She actually took that seriously… I guess she does have goblin blood - would certainly explain a lot..>Then something seemed to suddenly explode in her head as she looked towards Fuka in shock, remembering a talk she had a while ago about Gobberz and thus the children born from goblin seed.“Wait, half goblins grow twice as fast right…” <Eel>The previously distracted Fuka would jump in shock, looking towards Eel, tilting her head in confusion at the stunned Elizabeth Jr.“Yea, that’s how it is?” <Fuka>“You had a goblin dad right?” <Eel>“Well, I wouldn’t call it a ‘dad’ but yea, why?” <Fuka>Looking at Eel who now pointed to her stuttering - taking in her young appearance which was 16 after having just met into account (even though she looked the same now thanks to Eel’s arrival) Elizabeth would be hit with a far to earth shattering realization.<I give up…>Sighing out, deciding to ignore that she would just shake her head and think about other things.“We could also just move with other adventurers or escort a herbalist or something? Plenty of ways to feed your ass while feeding our wallets~!” <Eel>“Ya really are a dragon, huh~?” <Fuka>“What’s that meant to mean?” <Eel>“Ya love treasure~” <Fuka>“I think it’s natural for every adventurer to be in love with treasure~!” <Eel>“Yea, but you’re penny pinching off my lavacious body~!” <“Hey! If I could do it I would do it and Emily… Emily is struggling…”You’ve never seen anything like a sexually frustrated cow-succubus and it’s even worse when it’s her time of the month… <It’s also like that a horror - looking down dark corridors with only sedatives to contain the monster hiding to attack in the dark… There was even one time she managed to hide inside the walls...>Although Eel had plenty of moments - by far Emily was struggling the most during this stage of growing up. <Though, now we just knock her out a day in advance so we don’t have to worry about it~!>A dark solution but one which works.Soon enough the little devil peered out from a tree - surprisingly stealthy for a magician - gazing at the group of three.“Leaf is lucky…” <Emily>Her voice soft but for the 5 foot expert hunter this was no problem at all, dropping Leaf in a second her head would whip around to Emily with a vibrant smile, not willing to take a second longer as she flashed in front of her. On one knee and lifting Emily’s hand with her left, spear plunged into the ground while holding Emily’s hand up like a treasure, softly placing her lips against the hand. Letting Emily feel the warmth of her breath as she spoke in a soft, caring voice.“Did you have a pleasant sleep Mil?” <Eel>That warm, handsome smile brought Emily’s temperature up in an instant, blood rushing to every part of her body making her read as a tomato.“Y-yea, thanks Beth...” <Emily>In response to this, Elizabeth but slowly rise, still holding Emily’s left hand in her own but leaning in till they were about to touch forehead only to place her right hand in between. Feeling her temperature.“You appear to be quite hot - are you sure you’re okay? I’d be greatly troubled if you fell ill on my account…” <Eel>A warm, but worried look appeared on both her smile and eyes and she looked down on the cow. In response the cow could only make brief mouth movements - seeming like her eyes were about to roll back into her skull at any moment.“I’m still strugglin’ to figure out if ya do this on purpose or it’s jus’ natural' to anyone with a royal bloodline…” <Fuka>Fuka just mumbled to herself while looking at Eel with suspicion over her flirtatious actions that fit her appearance of a ‘lady-prince charming’.“Either way ya gonna to be a lady-killer when ya grow up Eel~!” <Fuka>Letting out a boisterous laugh. To this Eel would turn around, expertly sliding her arm around Emily’s waist from her hand to hold her close, lifting her chin with her right hand and smiling down at her. Then, maintaining the sweet smile she would move her eyes to glance at Fuka.“Why kill when one can love - not all hunts require blood to be spilt… Though I suppose when a maiden is involved blood will naturally be sp-” <Eel>“You’ve killed Emily.” <Fuka>Looking down at the limp cutie in her embrace a flash of surprise went through Eel as she would rush inside like lightning, holding Emily in princess carry before Fuka could even say anything more. “No doubt headin’ to Alicia forgetting she’s gonna to get inta trouble *sigh*. I’m pree sure half the reason Emily goes so feral is because of that little charming devil and the other half is Leaf molesting said devil… Must be hard to be the timid member of the demon trio.” <Fuka>While thinking this she felt something against her shin to see Leaf had just kicked her with her tiny foot before finishing into an explosion of leaves.However, Fuka would just chuckle.“But things seem better this way~!” <Fuka>
