Shizuka that monster girls’ interest in Sharsneek, and the demon boy who introduced himself as Sam, had gotten somewhat out of hand. Lunatea took it upon herself to forcibly grope the latter, in an attempt to confirm for certain if he was truly a male mamono. After going as far as to feel up his groin, it seemed she got her answer. As he felt the situation was going a little far, he was about to step in until he remembered he was dealing with monsters and noticed that Sam seemed to actually enjoy the attention. Sharsneek had even snuck up behind Lunatea to compliment her and directly admire her garments. [color=0054a6][i]Hmph, that kid’s pretty smooth with his movements.[/i][/color] He thought to himself. He also took notice of Sam’s cryokinesis, interested to see that some of the members had abilities similar to his own. 

He sighed, but at least the situation diffused itself as Sam offered a snowball to Kyōko-sama as a means of friendly gesturing. Lunatea also apologized for her outburst as she explained that she usually travels alone. 

Shizuka shot a glance at Kyōko, though, feeling that she was too forgiving of Lunatea’s behavior. Monsters they may be, but they should still be mindful of their surroundings. If they acted like this in Shizuyama, it could compromise the whole affair. Kyōko-sama had already spoken and settled the matter, so Shizuka felt it best to keep silent.

However, the arrival of the next team member immediately caught his attention. It was a tanned-skinned woman with long messy hair carrying a brandished sword. What’s more, she appeared to be dressed in what could be assumed to be a bathrobe. If anything, he’d say she just woken up out of bed and didn’t even bother attiring herself probably before coming. She wasted no time in showcasing her bombastic personality on full display, throwing curses and carrying horny sailors off the docks as if it was second nature. 

She looked human, though the chi she gave off marked her as a mamono as well. If Shizuka had to take a guess, he’d say she’s a Dhampir, a term used by westerners to define those who contain both human and vampire blood in their veins. This band of agents was getting more interesting by the minute, if you’d describe it as such. She, like the other monsters, was quite taken aback by the existence of Sam and Sharsneek. Even Shizuka had to admit it was a little humorous when she first thought they were boys who were turned into incubi. Though, she seemed to think it was the fault of the Hangai sisters, accusing them of seducing the boys.

It appeared to be going too far, however, when she started towards Kyōko after making a displeased remark. Her brutish stride and the fact that her sword wasn’t even sheathed was a cause for concern to say the least. 

Whether she realized it or not, she would find that Shizuka appeared right in front of her path toward Kyōko with a motion that seemed unnoticeable. [color=0054a6]“Excuse me, but is there a problem? Perhaps it’d be better if we took a step back and a moment for introductions? My name is Kannazuki Shizuka, a traveler native to these lands that Kyōko-sama hired early on for her cause and it’s current captain. It’s safe to infer that you are one another member of the taskforce she contacted. Why not properly introduce yourself, and then we can go into details about the specifics of what you’ll be doing here.”[/color]

Atusha giggled as the bunny lass assured her that she knew what she was doing. It seemed so, as Sharsneek and Sam both partook in admiring her buttock. The goblin boy stated that she didn’t even need the magic dress, calling them training wheels. [color=9e0b0f]“I’m inclined to agree darling.”[/color] She chimed in. Her lower spider part began making a clicking noise along with short hisses. It seemed to be joining in on the laughter, maybe? She continued chuckling as Lunatea’s frustration grew, but grew disappointed as Kyōko had finally diffused the situation.

[color=9e0b0f]“Kyōko-san, be at ease. I’m just trying to give little Lunatea dating advice, helping out a fellow lover seeker and all that.” 
[/color]

What got her thinking even more is when Sharsneek explained that he was born through normal means by a human merc and a female goblin. It still didn’t make any sense to her, they should’ve given birth to a girl. Perhaps later, she could ‘persuade’ the goblin to expand upon his past even further. Her thoughts were soon interrupted by a silly woman parading around in her night clothes, chasing sailors off the pier with a western sword. Her mana gave her away as a half-breed, vampire blood was mixed in with the typical human type. 

To say that she had a strong personality would be putting it mildly, although she did soften up when meeting Lunatea. Atsuha was again impressed by the rabbit’s natural charm, if she just had a bit more experience and was a little more aggressive with her lust she’d be unstoppable. But that vanished as soon as it appeared when she started freaking out at the site of the two monster boys, understandably so. It amused her when she thought of them as human boys who were turned into incubi by a seductive manono. Instead of getting angry, it only amused her even more when she and her sister were accused of being the perpetrators. 

[color=9e0b0f]“Darling, believe me, those lads wished that I would be the one that lays them. I scarcely believe they could handle even one night with me~"[/color] She placed her fingers near her cheek, making a seductive pose. 

[color=7bcdc8]“Sister, that’s mean. I’m sure if you gave them both a chance, they could really surprise you! Especially Sam, it’s always the quiet and oblivious ones that you have to watch out for…"[/color] Added Hinami. Her statement caused Atsuha to look at Sam for a moment, he may have been disturbed as the four large predatory eyes on her spider half were leering him down intently. 

The tan woman then immediately turned her attention to Kyōko, who she was apparently rather angry at for some reason. Before she could get any closer to her, though, Shizuka appeared in between the two without a hint of motion. 

[color=9e0b0f]“Now, now, love. No need for such aggression. That should be saved for the bedroom. I wanted to say that I like your style, and your boldness to walk around in broad daylight in your night garments. Like Kannazuki-san said, why not tell us a bit about yourself. I’d love to to hear your story~”[/color]
