9-11: Return To The Academy

After saying their farewells, the girls left the village and went back to the academy with just a short ride.

Of course, when they got back, many folks looked at the party strangely. It wasn't the princess, not the Demon girl, not the mage, and not the dark skinned hottie. They were staring at the very clingy, definitely a monster from a dungeon, creature who Veronica had tamed.

But at some point, people started to look away, or not at all, allowing the girls to quietly make their way back to the house, which definitely needs to be upgraded if Veronica plans on staying there.

However, the moment the door opened...

"Mama!" A kit yelled, followed by most if the other kits tackling Veronica to the ground.

"Argh! Too many kids!" Veronica groaned as a handful of her children clung to her.

"Ah, Veronica dear! You're all finally back, welcome home!" Kazue greeted, pulling some of the kits off Veronica.

"Huswife already have children? Aw... Wanted to be first."

"You're not the only one." Cassidy responded to Lyra's disappointment.

"How did everything go, Aviris?" Sable asked as the girls slowly made their way inside.

"Not badly. Only had to be the one person to pick a ruler for my people. No stress at all..." Aviris groaned sarcastically.

"Ahem. You forgot me." Lilith said calmly, almost teasingly.

Veronica looked confused for a moment, then it dinged in her head.

"That would explain why you weren't around with us. Huh, didn't know you could do that now."

"Mhm. Seems like I don't need to be next to you anymore."

"Your company is nice. Sometimes. I could do without the peeping during private times."

Lilith laughed as she hovered above the girls.

"Veronica, who is this?" Seraph asked, pointing towards the lamia who froze from over stimulation.

"Ah, right! Everyone! This is Lyra, we found her in a dungeon. She is uh... a new member of my... ugh... harem now... whether I like or not."

"She likes it!" Eleanora yelled from the other side of the room.

Veronica only sighed is she sat down, surrounded by her lovers and her children. There was a small thought in her head that she wasn't finished just yet. Which did remind her about needing to speak to both Kazue and Hekna.

"Um, Kazue, can I talk to you in private?"

"Sure. I'm always accepting of more kits." She responded with a straight face.

"T-That's not what I meant!"

"I know sweetie, just wanted to tease you a little. Come along." Kazue giggled and motioned for Veronica to follow her.

Finally alone, it was time to make a request Veronica would hopefully only need to make once.

"So, what is it?" Kazue asked with an almost motherly tone.

"You see... I'm getting married to Princess Celia soon, and Queen Priscilla can't really hold the nobles back for much longer. While there is the issue of me being feminine, that issue is solved. But there's also the issue of—"

"Your horns and tail. I see... And?"

"And, I've gotten a challenge for a skill, unlocking an upgrade allowing me to change my body in certain ways."

"Letting you remove said parts. Okay, and the challenge?"

Veronica hesitated to answer for a moment, trying to figure out if she really should. "I... I need to get pregnant myself." Veronica answered, her face turning red.

"I see. Let me guess, you want to use my dreamscape to let you go through your pregnancy and give birth before you have to make anything official?"

"Yes. Precisely."

"Well, you didn't need to ask me in the first place, it's open to you whenever you want. Though, I don't know how you'll manage getting pregnant. The only one here who's fine having sex with you and has a penis, is a ghost who probably can't get you pregnant."

"No, but we do have her daughter. So, I figure, I could ask her and get everything done before the end of the week."

"Ah, yes, Hekna. Well, I guess it can work. Fine. Tell me when, and I'll go ahead to put you in the dreamscape."

"Thank you, Kazue."

"Anytime, hun." She said, give Veronica a quick, yet sweet kiss.
