[color=f49ac2][b]”Hiiii Ian!”[/b][/color] Liliana said, squeezing herself free of Alice’s bosomy prison, while the sword on her back glowered at Carroll for a moment before huffily turning away…strangely now sitting vertically against Liliana’s back. Like it was glued to her. [color=f49ac2][b]”Is that what that was? Healing? Ohhh,”[/b][/color] Liliana said, before flittering around Shizuka. [color=f49ac2][b]”Phew, that’s a relief. When I left I was sure you were going to **** and **** and then **** her right on the ****.”[/b][/color] Liliana said, each R-18 word blocked out by a flock of seagulls. Of course, what she meant to say was: “Hug and snuggle and then kiss her right in the mouth” but comedy demanded a punching bag.

And today, that was Shizuka.

Liliana didn’t know at all what had transpired for most of the events preceding, but did know that Alice was oddly chipper about being lead stroke on the boat. [color=f49ac2][b]”Hi-Ho, its off to Hama we go!”[/b][/color] the chipper fairy said, before picking up Whimsy. As if sensing the little fairy intended to use it as a paddle, the sword promptly pricked her thumb with a thorn, causing the fairy to wince and just pick up an oar. [color=f49ac2][b]”I wasn’t gonna Whimsy! I swear!”[/b][/color]

There was no nice way to tell the monk that he had indeed been assaulted and robbed, so…Eula would do her best to explain this while not utterly shattering his faith in other mamono. [color=C48BD3][b]”I’m truly sorry but…that is exactly what happened,”[/b][/color] the automaton said, lifting her sack of coins and placing them in the monk’s hands.  [color=C48BD3][b]”I do not know how much was taken from you, but…I want to make it right. I should have stopped those two but I hadn’t expected…them to harm anyone,”[/b][/color] Eula seemed genuinely remorseful, looking down at her empty hands.  [color=C48BD3][b]”I understand you may hate yokai now. But…please, believe in me. I will help you with whatever quest those two promised, without payment. I cannot sit idly by while people suffer. And…I know that prank must have been to alleviate the boy’s worries.”[/b][/color]

Standing, the automaton would outstretch a hand to the monk, an offer to help him up in spite of all that had happened.  [color=C48BD3][b]”Much like humans, there are both good and bad in the hearts of yokai. …Please. Let me show you what good we can do, working with humanity.””[/b][/color] It was a longshot. Relica and Kerry had failed to keep their tempers, and now, Eula couldn't blame the monk if he lost his. But all she could do was try. People needed help.

They…needed her. Didn’t they?
