“Oh, right, you wanted to stay with me, didn’t you?” Lunatea replied to Samael’s reminder. “Very well. You may stay. However, since we only have one bed here, I hope you will be fine with sitting on the couch there.” Conveniently, inside the room, there was a brown-colored couch he could sleep in conveniently. It fit perfectly with his small body. Perhaps the surface wasn’t as soft as a bed but it was the price he had to pay to stay with her. After instructing Samael, Lunatea yawned as she did a stretch. She then took off her boots before climbing up the bed, still wearing her dark blue frock and her white thighhigh socks. Placing her hands below her stomach, she closed her eyes. It wouldn’t take long until she lost her consciousness, drifting off into dreamland. And as she did, her charmed dress made its move, ensuring its skirt would always be draped in such a way that her panties would be showing whenever Samael was looking at her. —------- When she woke up, it was to the knocking on the door. She opened it up. And saw that it was the maid from before. "Is something the matter?" As she stood there, she wouldn't try to hide Sam's existence in her room. She didn't care what she or the others might think. Sam had volunteered to stay in her room out of his own will. It turned out that she was merely introducing herself. And her role in the group. As she thought, she would act as the maid to all of them. They didn’t talk for long. The maid still had the others to visit after all. ----------- Afterwards, it was time for dinner. She and Sam made their way to the dining hall. With the others, they had a relatively quiet evening. Though the pheromones the orc was emitting did bother her a little bit. ...Oh yeah, she hadn't introduced herself to the orc. Oh well, at this point, she couldn't be bothered. Returning back to their room, it was time for their nightly lesson. She ordered him to sit on the chair while she sat on the bed. "Let's see…" She scratched her cheeks. "Oh! I can use that book!" She suddenly remembered a certain book she had with her. It was a book about a legend in Zipangu. The hero there was pretty chivalrous so she could use it to teach him about being a gentleman. She stood up and walked to the bookshelf. Her eyes glazed over to the spines, reading the words written there with the aid of her finger. When she reached the lower level, she had to bend over, showing her black panties to Sam. "Here it is." She took out a small book (relative to the other books) and then gave it to the boy. "You read this. The protagonist there will tell you all you need to know about being a gentleman." She then walked back to the bed and sat down on it. "Now, I have some questions for you. I want to know about where you came from and how you were raised. Like I said, I am not well-versed in biology but I am well-versed in culture. I wish to jot down how your people reacted when a male monster like you was born." She then flipped her skirt upwards and reached down into her panties. Magically, without said underwear bulging, she took out a pencil and a small notebook. It was another magical property of her panties. Dimensional Storage. -------- In the days forward, Sam would find that the book he was given contained what basically was the classical hero's tale. It was from the age before the Great Change — a tale about a samurai traveling from place to place, righting injustices of humans and hunting down youkais. The gentlemanly aspect was visible from the start. He would act like your typical hero would do, helping the weak without asking for payment, standing up against any wrong he sees, and of course, the overwhelming power a hero should possess to stand up against evil. As for how to act in front of women, the book had that too. He would always treat every woman he met with respect. Even when they flirted with him or offered him their bodies, he would always politely refuse. Ironically, however, the book wouldn't be able to answer his question. That is, "What was the strange feeling he was having around her?" He would have to ask her himself. ---------- The moment the ship saw Shijuyama, Lunatea began her work. She stood on the railings of the ship (a feat doable thanks to her extraordinary balance) and jotted away in her notebook, writing down all she could about what she could see on the island from a distance. All the while her skirt fluttered upwards, showing off her panties to whoever happened to walk at that side of the ship. Most of her enjoyers, however, were the sailors who worked on that ship. They began calling her the Bunny Goddess, praising her for the sight. She didn't really mind. As long as they didn't start whistling or catcalling her anyway. --------- They made their landing at night. Without pause, they then made their way up a tall and winding cliff on foot. Thankfully, her eyes still worked well in the dark. She could hold Sam's hand to keep him from tripping. And when they reached the top… The sight she saw rendered her speechless. ... [i]War…[/i] [i]It is just as hellish as I imagined it to be…[/i] [i]How fortunate I was born in a peaceful country...[/i] The night skies burned with orange as both sides fired their flame spells and arrows against each other. From the lights, she could see the army of both sides. Quickly, she noted the rough estimation of just how many there were in her notepad. Before she could say anything, Tomi the dragon flew off towards the fight. On her own volition. Without contacting the others. What a reckless move. Though, par for the course for a dragon. [i]At least she seems to be doing well… Dragon strength. How brutal.[/i] She still remembered how she was eyeing her as she wanted to eat her. Yes, actually eating her flesh to satiate her hunger. Not "eating" in the sexual kind. [i]How terrifying.[/i] After all, they decided on their assignments. Lunatea and Sam were to go to the village and warn the people there of the invading army. She had no objections. She'd rather stay out of the front lines as much as she could. "Samael. You're coming with me." She turned to face the young demon. "Don't you leave my side, alright?" She grabbed his hand and they stayed linked all the way as they climbed down the cliff, making their way towards the village. “Yes, you don’t have to tell me that,” she replied to Wyn as they descended when she reminded her of the talisman. “Sorry, Samael. I have to watch over Hinami as well. Like you’ve heard, I can’t let her talisman be taken off from her face.”
