Once their conversation was over, Lunatea, still unable to sleep, made her way to the outside. She used her monster strength to jump up the largest tree in the courtyard, scaling her way upwards one branch to the next. The tree’s trunk ended in such a way that she could use it as a makeshift seat, which she proceeded to do only after she stood on it—her gaze sweeping through the forest that surrounded the temple.


Nothing seems to be amiss…

Her dress fluttered in the night wind, flashing her panties to the world yet again. However, it was a completely natural event, not created by the panty’s power. After all, no one was there to look at her.

She sat down, letting her legs dangle to the side. Closing her eyes, she let the breeze caress her skin as her mind traveled elsewhere, back to her homeland. Her family.


Mother… Father… Do not worry. I’m safe here. I’ll make you proud by becoming the scholar you always wanted me to be…

The truth was—she never really told them where she was going. The only letter she gave them said that she wouldn’t be home for a while as she would be joining a long-term research group that would take her to foreign lands. If she had told them where she was going, they might just tell her not to go. And she wasn’t sure if she could spit on their concern. Especially her mother. She had always been really good at playing the innocent, defenseless wife that just wanted the best for her children. If she had to see her teary puppy eyes, her resolve to go would be broken. She was sure of it.

As such, here she was, embroiled in a conflict without them knowing.


I’ll apologize once I get back.

…

…


Hmm? What’s that?

Something on the ground caught her attention. She narrowed her eyes, trying to make out what it was better in the dark.


That’s… that’s a person! And they’re injured!

Without hesitating, she jumped down the tree, landing on her two feet flawlessly before making her way to said person.

It was Alice.

She watched as Takeshi dressed up her wounds. She was never good at that kind of thing. Any wounds she sustained she would just heal with her magic.

Wait.

“Hey, do you want me to heal her with my magic?” She offered to the young lord.

The wererabbit raised her eyebrows at him freezing. “What are you doing? Are you not going to take off her clothes?” She sighed. “Seriously? This is not the time to be shy, you know. Her life is in mortal danger.”

“Do you want me to take over?”

"Evening, Takeshi-dono, you and Luna-chan seem to have gotten a bit banged up on your quest today. Thankfully, it doesn't seem as bad as it was on the beach!" She said. "I also hope that everything's fine with Shizuka=san, I thought he'd be hear to meet with everyone. I imagine he's out on another mission?" She inquired.

“It wasn’t that bad,” the wererabbit replied. “Takeshi did take quite a bit of damage but it wasn’t anything that I couldn’t heal.”

“As for Shizuka, I’m not sure. You’d have to ask the others. I have been sleeping for the whole afternoon, you see.”

Takeshi could only let out an amused chuckle at Lunatea's efforts in wielding the eastern eating implements. "Hey, look on the bright side. You can't get worse than this so you can only improve from here."

"I'm not so sure about that," the wererabbit replied, her expression one of disbelief. “I believe I simply do not have the required dexterity needed to use such an utensil.”

Now turning to face Lunatea giving her a bow of her head in return for her greeting. “A Wererabbit huh? I don’t think I’ve come across a Wererabbit before, so it has been a pretty exciting day already, it is not often I come across those that belong to groups that I haven’t met before, you and Kerry are definitely very unique to any that I have met before, then again I guess I really do only hang out with Oni if anyone at all” Letting out a small little laugh at the end. Before having a thought come to mind now, now that she had met a few of the others within Lady Kyouko’s group.

Lunatea cocked her head to the side. She never saw a wererabbit? That's odd. It's not like our kind is particularly rare or anything…

Still, the girl seems polite… we should get along perfectly fine… which is something I didn't anticipate from an Oni…

The wererabbit then noticed Samael's arrival. It seemed she wouldn't have to seek him out after all. Still, she waited until he finished speaking to the Oni before approaching him.

"Glad to see that you can handle yourself," she said to him with her usual emotionless expression. "I see now that my worries were unfounded. If you had come here with bruises or wounds all over your body, I'd have to write to Ms. Kyouko that you are not up to the task and that she should evacuate you as soon as she can."

Then afterward, he turned to Kerry, Lunatea and Takeshi.

"Right, I got to see a man about his dog. See ya for the night!" He announced to the rest of them, intent on retiring for the night but not before doing one little thing.

Lunatea raised an eyebrow at his abrupt exit. Just what was he planning? She herself already had her sleep so she was in no rush to do so again.

Listening to Kerry's remark regarding Takemori made her give her own advice to their de facto leader.

"He never mentioned her, huh? Then perhaps her betrayal stemmed from her sense of inferiority? That she was never accepted fully as his child?"

All of a sudden, an uninvited guest butted in on their conversation.

"Yo! Snatched one already? Man, you sure work fast!"

Lunatea looked up and immediately her small smile turned into a frown.

"It's you. The goblin."

To be honest, she had entirely forgotten his name. Even his gender no longer surprised her.

"What do you want?" She narrowed her eyes. "And just so you know, Takeshi here already has a lover. Who is not me."

When the goblin bent down and whispered to Takeshi, Lunatea could hear every single word he said, owing to her rabbit ears.

"I can hear you, you know."

He wasn't exactly wrong though. Her species indeed suffered through heat cycles every year. And when it happened… well, let's just say that she had trouble keeping her panties dry.

"And I would never fgobline my partner to perform intercourse if he doesn't desire to, " she quickly added.

She then listened to his report. When he finished, her frown had only deepened.

"That's not good… I think we should fetch her immediately." She gave Takeshi a concerned look.

Before they could continue their conversation, however, another person arrived. This time, it was the bee mamono. And unlike with the goblin, Lunatea's expression remained neutral at her appearance.

She gave him her report as well though not without mentioning Sam and how she might want to check on him.

"I suppose I could…" She mumbled to herself. It had been a while since she last saw the boy after all.

"Still, to think someone native here would side with their invaders… quite curious, if you ask me." She told Kerry once she finished.

The bee girl then asked who was the person coming to them.

"Hmm?" Lunatea clocked her head to the side. "Her? She's a newcomer. You'll have to ask her for her name because I certainly don't remember."

Once she arrived and introduced herself, Luna stood up and did the same in kind.

"Greetings. I am Lunatea Vern Farnsworth, a Wererabbit. It's a pleasure to meet you." She gave a bow, flashing her panties to anyone standing behind her as usual.

"Chopsticks... I suppose I can try to learn."

If she were to be honest, she didn't see why one would use such a cumbersome tool to eat. Spoon and fork were far superior, though of course, out of politeness, she wouldn't say that to him.

"By the way, tell your friends too that I'll be happy to help this 'Kyouko's Taskforce'."

"Thank you." She gave him a small, quiet smile. "I'll make sure to tell them that."

As Takeshi tried to teach her on how to use his utensil, he would find that she was terribly clumsy at it. She would keep dropping whatever food she tried to lift with her sticks, to her great and utmost annoyance. Not to mention the way she held the sticks. It was enough to make any natives of the island laugh. Or cringe.

"Well met you two!" He began. "I see your mission was a success. Here at the temple, we ran into some…complications but things have worked themselves out."

"Glad to hear that," Lunatea replied once she descended from her horse. "Our mission went quite smoothly as well."

Looking them over, he noticed their clothes were rather battered. "I hope things didn't get too hectic out there, you guys look pretty winded!" He said, realizing they'll probably notice the bloodied tear on his clothes.

"Well, we did end up in a fight with the Varjans. And it was quite a difficult fight, owing to the fact that they had a warlock on their side."

"And I see that you were in a fight yourself," she continued, eyeing his clothes. "You should take a rest."

"New members?" She raised her eyebrows. "I suppose we could use reinforcements... though I wonder why they arrived here so late."

@PaulHaynek@AzureKnight
It didn't take long for Lunatea to find the napping spot she desired. A great and thick tree that provided ample shade as well as gentle wind that blew to provide cooling to her skin. And the best part was that it was far enough from the refugees that she wouldn't be disturbed by their noises.

Still, on her way there, she couldn't help but to overhear on a certain conversation a pair of villagers were having.

Serek'uar, huh? I'll keep that in mind.

Arriving at the tree, she sat down, resting her back on the thick trunk, before closing her eyes.

-

When she opened them back, it was already nighttime.

And Takeshi was standing in front of her, with a warm rice bowl in his hand.

"Oh. Hello. And good night, I suppose."

She readily took the rice bowl off his hand.

"Yes, that is unfortunate," she replied matter-of-factly. "They simply fear what they don't understand."

She took a bite off the rice. With her hand. She didn't know how to use chopsticks.

"Thank you. For the meal. It's delicious."

Now that they had decided on returning to the temple, Lunatea readied herself for the journey. She saw them climbing their horses; a typical thing humans did whenever they wanted to travel fast. Some monsters had no need of horses as they could run just as fast, or even faster, than the beast of burden. However, she was no such monster. She could probably keep up with them for a minute or two but her stamina would quickly give and she would fall behind. After all, she was a scholar. She never really exercised her body to possess stamina akin to an oni.

She was about to open her mouth to complain about her lack of means of travel before Takeshi invited her on top of his. This naturally took the monster girl by surprise. Was he serious? He knew his lover was right there. Why would he invite another girl to ride with him? She could easily imagine all the things she could do to tease him.

And then, he gave his reasoning. It was to repay the life debt he had incurred from her saving him.

Silly human.

“Well, if you insist,” she replied. “Hope you don’t regret this later.”

She didn’t need his help on climbing the beast. She simply jumped on top of the horse, her skirt fluttering in the process, flashing all the men that were there. And when she sat down, the dress had ridden up, showing off her black panties and bunny tail shamelessly to anyone who rode behind her.

On the road, the bunny girl listened to the conversation between Takeshi and Kikyo. From it, she learned how the Varjans demanded tithe on behalf of the Order before the invasion.

She scoffed. She always believed the Order to be a misguided organization, or an evil one at their worst. This revelation only added another reason why she thought that way.

Arriving at Terauchi Temple, they were given a hero’s welcome. The refugees all cheered for Takeshi and Kikyo, lighting up their candle of hope that the invaders would soon be driven out of the island.

Not for her though. Nope. She was a monster after all.

Lunatea accepted Takeshi’s help on dismounting their horse (even though she didn’t really need it). Her skirt once again fluttered on her way to the ground, flashing the young man for a microsecond.

“Don’t mention it.” She folded her hands below her chest when she replied to his words. “I am not some gloryhound that seeks praise and affirmation from others. I’m helping you because it’s the right thing to do.”

“Hmm, since you insisted on us resting, I think I might just take a nap somewhere. You can wake me up once it’s time to eat.”

As if to emphasize her declaration, she let out a yawn, covering her mouth with one hand and stretching her arm with the other.

“You should take a rest too, Takeshi. Prepare yourself for what comes next. I’m sure we still have a lot of fights ahead of us.”

With those words, she left the swordsman, making her way into the temple building. Now the big question would be whether she could find a secluded spot she could use for said nap.

Lunatea paused, placing one hand on her chin as she tilted her head.

“...You have a point. We certainly can take a break first before we move to our next objective. And I certainly am not dumb enough to do it alone.”

If she were to be truthful, she would prefer not to spend any more time with this Kikyo character. But alas, it seemed she had no choice in the matter. She would just have to accompany her to the temple and bear any hostilities she might show towards her on the way.

The Oja retainer turned to her master in disbelief. "Takeshi-sama! You can't be serious!" Kikyo almost yelled. "To work together with the yokai... would be to insult our island and all those who came before us. To spit on the traditions that held our island for centuries. Please Takeshi, you must reconsider."

Lunatea rolled her eyes hearing her statement. Great. Yet another close-minded human.

Still, she held hope that at the very least, Takeshi would be able to defuse her hostility towards her. At least, up until she no longer saw her as an enemy she had to slay on the spot.

Kikyo was indecisive at first, but then closed her eyes and nodded in resignation. "I... I trust you, my lord. I shall follow you." And with that, even the archers hiding in the trees lowered their weapons.

And just like that, her hope was proven to be correct.

“Thank you very much for your magnanimity, Lady Kikyo.” She gave another bow. “I assure you, I shall not betray your expectations.”

It seemed the rabbit monster had opted not to reply to her comment regarding her skirt.

ᅠ

Afterwards, Lunatea suggested to Takeshi that they depart for the cemetery south of Terauchi Temple next. With Kikyo on their side, they could move on to their next target, which, if she were allowed to choose, would be Yurine, the Deathkeeper.

“I am simply more interested in her than the others,” the rabbit monster gave her justification.

Man, one of my first rps here. I remember having fun in it.
