8-25: Scolding
"Veronica! Where have you been!?" Eleanora yelled as Veronica enter the house.
"We were about to go out to search for you! Missing person flyers and everything!" Cassidy added.
"Uh... hehe... I was uh... in the dungeon—"
"You were where!? Why int he world would you go to the dungeon ALONE!?" Seraph scolded.
"I wasn't alone. Lilith was with me."
"She can't interact with anything!"
"And there weren't any monsters."
"But did you know that before going?" Kazue asked, her arms crossed as she clearly tried to hold in her anger.
"N-No..."
"And, pray tell, who is that?" Aviris asked, pointing at Hekna.
"Oh, this is Hekna... one of Lilith's daughters, and the master of that dungeon..."
Everyone was floored when Hekna was introduced herself. Clearly, no one expected. Who would?
It took a few hours for everyone to calm down but Hekna was able to easily inject herself into the group.
"How interesting. I've done research on necromancy just like this. It wasn't successful though." Hekna said, examining Sirtia.
"I was told that it rather unique, and I'm the only one like this."
"Hm... I'm curious... You do look familiar... no, that's impossible, that was hundreds of years ago."
"Huh?"
"Oh, nothing. I attempted the spell on a body like yours a long time ago, but nothing came out of it. So, I returned the body and decided to work on some easier projects."
'Lilith, how... She does know she practically said that she's responsible for raising Sirtia, but doesn't know it, right?'
"She's bright, just not uh... very patient..."
"Ah, Veronica, Liafi came by and said that she and Nia have prepared a gift for you." Sable informed.
"Ah, I see. Thank you. I'll head off now then."
"No, I'm going with you. You clearly cannot be trusted leaving by yourself." Cassidy said.
"C-Cass, I'm just going to Liafi's."
"And how would I know if you decide to leave and go to who knows where?"
"Ugh... fine."
Cassidy looked smug as she clung onto Veronica, walking all the way to Liafi's shop.
"Liafi? I heard you had something for me." Veronica exclaimed as she entered the shop.
Two goblin girls from from around the corner, both quickly surrounding their blonde woman.
"Yes! Nia made it herself, actually."
"I wanted to tell her that!" Nia exclaimed, pouting as her mother spoiled the surprise.
Veronica chuckled as she pat Nia on the head. "I'm sure you did great, dear. Now, let's see it."
Nia blushed, but her face formed into a big, cute smile as she took Veronica's hand and led her over to her gift.
On an armorstand was a set of armor, clearly meant for women. It was rather skimpy, but considering Veronica's Reckless Fighting skill, it might actually be beneficial. Not to mention, the armor was genuinely beautiful, and the red flowing fabric at the bottom gave it some extra flare.
"This is really good work. Good Job, Nia."
"Ehehe... can I get a kiss now, like before." Nia said, referring to the time Veronica had kissed her after she became a Hakano.
Veronica didn't say a word, but gently took Nia's lips for herself. It was odd, and Veronica knew it was different, but it didn't feel wrong for some reason. In fact, she wanted to take it further. Perhaps later.
But for now, she tried on the armor. It fit her really well, and from what she can tell, it was also made of Hekna's Stone. It certainly is a good material. Skimpy, but Veronica wasn't exactly afraid to show off her body anymore.
And it was quite clear that everyone really, really liked this armor. Especially the fact that she's both well protected, and they can stare at her surprisingly toned abs at the same time.
Though, it was time to update her Status, assuming she could upgrade anything at all. However, it seemed a bit... off this time.

"Why is it... the rest is fine, but both EXP and Classification are... broken?" Veronica question to herself.
"Interesting. I wonder, could it be because you're now a race that wasn't meant to have this thing? So it doesn't know what to do?" Lilith theorized.
"That is possible. Let me try upgrading Commander's Body."
Surely enough, it worked. She could feel a slight tingling sensation from down under, and her body did feel lighter, with the weight of her armor being lightened somewhat. And thankfully, the armor was able to contort and change as Veronica's hips widened, and her butt grew ever so slightly.

"Nope. Not doing that. One of those upgrades is useless anyways." Veronica said, looking away from the status screen. Though, it changed again.
Next Upgrade: Child bearing for you and your partners become significantly easier, unlock demonic transformative abilities, likelihood of having multiple children in one pregnancy is increased.
"I... I didn't even know it could change. B-But I'm not doing that. I don't even have a way to get pregnant."
"Veronica, you can ask Hekna. She is a Hakano, just like you." Lilith explained.
Veronica blushed and stammered, unable to say anything coherent for a moment. "N-Nope! S-Still not doing it!"
