11th day of Prophecy, 01:10 pm, inside one of the ambush sites in the region of Hrotio, Zipangu.

There’s always a feeling of puzzled wonderment after seeing an outrageous chain of events, even more so when you find yourself as one of the main actors; the last few minutes had probably been the most intense of your life, the very atmosphere of the entire battlefield changed as the burst of magic and clangs of metals were forced into an impromptu truce during the short lived contamination of corruption that stain the land in disgusting mud, putting you and Mylen as a serious disadvantage, even now the dirt continue to stain and ruin your boots as its transformed in some kind of black, wet, sticky tar that would be very much at home inside the Cursed Swamp.

Unfortunately the momentary quietness of the chaotic battles all around is much too short lived, lying at the very epicenter of the storm you finally realize what you just did and take a step forward near the iced over tree while you take a look at your hand; your vein are supposed to be a crystal blue color reminiscent of sapphires but here, they’ve darkened and changed color slightly, adding an uncharacteristic violet, a clear distinction and signs about the states of your reserves, you don’t feel any worse for wear regardless, yet.

Finally you take a glance toward the fallen form of Wilmarina Noscrim, first of the fallen, an enemy that underestimated you and paid a heavy price. Your supercharged spell took a most gory tribute upon her body, the succulent, sculpted seduction that was her forms…ravaged by a gigantic hole in her chest that took the entirety of her heart, the wound inside has already half-iced over and a pair of dull, red eyes staring into emptiness while her expression was frozen in an eternal, sad smile.

You don’t feel much triumph over this, you quickly scoop down to the ring on her hand, a silvery halo with a bright small red gem, that, as you bring it over to your first, seem to have minuscule gravures upon it and glowers lightly like the embers of a dying fire, the ring is more than pretty enough for a bride…and then the light give out.

The corruption inside Wilmarina escape onto the soil, the sultry milk-colored skin and gracious body of the warrior-maiden deteriorate so fast, you forget to breathe. Her skin dry up the sword at her side is stricken with advanced rust that quickly claim the entirety of its frame and soon enough, bleached bones and a few strands of hair are all that remain of the Lady of Noscrim, first of the Purifier.

The ring itself soon follow, its priceless golden band magically rust over, the bloodstone crackle into powder and erode into the wind and, try as you might to be careful, the pressure of your fingers snap the ring in two, the object disappear into nothing before hitting the ground.

What in the world…

You don’t have time for that, now that the immediate threat is over, there’s another very pressing matter to attend to, the brief peacefulness of this chaos won’t last long; even now you can feel Hadraniel emotions, her battle seem to have forced her far out of position but she’s making her way back –fast- the sound of faraway thunder still linger but it seem she manage to detach herself from her foes somehow.

‘’This taste TERRIBLE’’

In the underbrush, Sylphis body is covered in black stain, the corruptions doesn’t seem to be malign fortunately, nothing seem into her body and it simply linger there, painting her black and making her comically and dramatically rub her mouth over and over in some vain attempt to keep herself occupied as the terrible awkwardness of your presence give you the impression of being the elephant in the room.

‘’Well need to purify this place…’’

Leila voice is, of course, empty of emotions and merely stating the obvious, although you are absolutely certain that something leaked through the mask to allow Radiance presence, the Purifier is holding the holy sword is both hand in a in a medium guard, her gaze obviously exploring the environment and keeping an eyes on the few lingering soldiers; namely these shadowy adventurers, you’ve got a glimpse of plate armor and that’s certainly not in the uniforms of the Inquisitors.

‘’Let’s go, Siegfried’’

Mylen take her sword out of the trunk of the tree, nodding at you solemnly and swishing her blade in the air, completely disregard Leila and Sylphis and instead focusing toward the Inquisitorial camp, already venturing near the trees; very dangerous as she’s now within ranges of the soldiers.
Soon, very soon, agents will invade this place but it doesn’t look like Mylen will take any answer but her own…

…You do need to capture a monster and she’d be more than willing.

What do you do?

>2 to 3 post before Hadraniel close in

>>26700826
"Are you certain?"

I guess we can just spin it as her being out for revenge at the monsters that corrupted her.

‘’Are you certain?’’

There is no sympathy or joy to be found in your tone and demeanor, right now you are surrounded by foes on all side, the adventurers seem to have retreated further back, leading the squad of reinforcement that was obviously lead by Sylphis, hostilities have come alight again but only for short lived burst, you don’t really have much time to dwell on good nature and pleasantries, it seems Sylphis is of the same mind as her face drain of emotions as well as she eyes you and Leila with a wary eye, you’d swear to spot some regret in that emotionless face of hers.

‘’Am I…?’’

Mylen answer come in a snarl, the girl whirl to face you in a rare show of emotions; her face twisted in a grimace of frustration and pain as you spot a small gleam in her red, left eye, causing her to squint as small gaps escape her mouth.

‘’You…show up when the King declared you dead. You cure me of my corruption, you rope me into a war on the side of a new nation and then you go and betray them, leaving me –ORDERING ME- through a pice of junk paper to give my loyalty to the leader you fancy…’’

Her previously pale, controlled and gorgeous face is blemished by a reddish coloration as emotions make her tremble from head to toe, only once have you seen her this vulnerable before…

Only once.

‘’Yeah, I am. I don’t give a shit if I’m thrown in a dungeon’’

Behind you, Leila stay silent, instead she lever the holy sword upward where the aura increase in length and intensity, purifying the soil of its corruption while further in, some movements in the place you left Athena tells you that the girl is beginning to stir.

What do you do?

>>26701609
I'm not too sure if I'm missing anything before we go charging off again, so I'll wait for a few more people to show up.

So just to make certain we are on the same page.

You guys agree to bring Mylen back with you?

>>26702037
Try and explain the situation on the way as well, if we can.
Were we allowed to fully tell anyone our objectives? It's been a while since I re-read the previous threads.

>>26702183
I don't really want to, but I have no other ideas at the moment, my brain is fried.

>>26701798
If we do take her make sure Ahriman understands that those wings are what enabled her to fight No scrim on even footing. To nerf her by chopping them off he would be making a foolish mistake. We *need* warriors like her at full power to stand up to Deruella, he has to know just how powerful the bitch we just killed is, let's hope he isn't a fool.

>>26702196

Your objectives, as in the current chain of murders your plotting? No, that's something you've kept under tight wrap, you've simply told Leila that your loyalties have changed and that's why you've joined the church

>>26701798
We have to warn her that capturing her might not just leave her in a dungeon, they will interrogate you, perhaps torture you and you may not be able to stop it.

Though we need to tell Slyphis of where Athena is and tell her that your sorry before leaving

Very well, then the consensus is.

Bring back Mylen, basically capturing her and get out of here as fast as possible?

>>26702420
Try and dissuade her first at least.

As I said earlier, might be best if the church think she's just a lone agent out to hunt the demon who corrupted her.

>>26702420
I guess since Mylen won't budge and fighting her is stupid considering the people are coming.

Tell Manthis girl where Athena is and get out of here

The angel is closing in fast, her emotions through the link is a strange mix of elation and fear; not a single hint of anger, accusation or even confusion linger inside Hadraniel clear core and this scares you tremendously. Someone this crystal clear shouldn’t exist, someone this happy at the mere prospect of seeing you is anomalous and your iron will may very well waver when faced by the one sided affection of the Embodiment of Love.

You know you aren’t impregnable, after all, this raven haired woman convinced you of abandoning the path of the Butcher during your adolescence.

‘’You know very well that I don’t want you, your appearance will throw you into a makeshift cell or worst, you’d end up the plaything of the Inquisition itself. What kind of man would I be if I were to send you into such nightmare?’’

You may as well be throwing rocks in a lake, your words leave Mylen completely unfazed and for a few, rare seconds the intensity of her stare soften, the great Holy aura projected by the sword works wonder in purging the soil of evil, adding a magnificent backdrop painting for this unreal scene.

‘’I’ve always told you that you don’t need to worry about me’’

‘’You’ll be tortured!’’

‘’I’ve already crossed that bridge as a kid’’

‘’I won’t be able to treat you like anything but a prisoner’’

‘’That’s fine’’

‘’I might leave you behind!’’

‘’You came back for me when you had no reasons’’

You’d like to point out that your list of reasons was long if you were to count all the questions you wanted to ask her back then, instead you bite your tongue and balls your hand in fist as you find yourself defeated, your emotions may be unpleasant but the reality is simple; capturing will strengthen your position, moreover she’s not going to take no for an answer.

‘’Siegfried… do it for me, don’t blame yourself’’

Mylen always was a very contained, controlled individual that never projected much of a presence, but the flame of love burning inside her is bright and furiously strong, enough for her to walk into the jaw of defeat and death in exchange of absolutely nothing…only to collect extremely costly tribute, just like now.

After all, back when you were about to reunite with your troops to continue the purge, this woman went on her knee and asked you to stop – for her- and you did. No events can bend your will, but those closes to you seems to have you wrapped around their fingers…

‘’Heeey Sieg’’

This time you just stand straight at the voice of the mantis behind you, Mylen gaze is hovering at the girl and nod, perhaps the two coming to some sort of understanding, there’s no motion of hostilities between them.

You just stay silent.

‘’Athena always wanted to fight you, you know? I think today was more an excuse than anything else but… you know, I’d be really fun if you came back fast, after what you said that night, well, Tsu isn’t doing so good and Ame has stepped up as leader. You slip really caught everyone off guard’’

Then the girl sigh, there’s no doubt that your short stay with the denizens of the island changed her greatly, after all she isn’t moving to decapitate you at all.

‘’Our orders are to kill you and all, but I’ll let it slide today given that…Fallen, but I won’t be holding back if we meet again’’
And with this somber warning, the girl skip and run over Athena who seem to be waking up, but still much too stunned to recognize her surroundings.

Do you head back forthwith while hogtying your new prize?

>>26703060

Did we ever see that side story where Mylen forced Siegfried to stop when he was the butcher?

Yeah, let's head back. Siegfried can't explain the situation to Mylen now, but when the time comes that he can do so safely...she needs to be the first one to hear it. Hadraniel is next, then Tsu, Athena, and Sylphis.

‘’Dammit…!’’

You feel torn, the death of a Fallen seem nothing compared to your wish to stay and look at Hadraniel in the eyes, memories of that magical night spring anew and it almost root you on the soil but, when you cross eyes with Mylen, her nods is enough to give you back lost motivation.

‘’I’m sorry! Leila, let’s go!’’

Your poor apology is no consolation and the small mantis look incredibly lonely as she lift Athena on her back, her body stained some more by the corruption; after your treatment after her scrap with the witch, the girl had grown immensely resilient to that stuff to the point that you suspect some form of immunity.

This stabbing in your heart has to be the most miserable feeling you’ve ever felt, you close in on Mylen and the girl simply turns her back, letting her sword on the ground (you’ll be picking it up afterward of course), put her hands on her back and doesn’t move a muscle as you encircle her wrists and ankles by a magical chain, a little inject of magic and… it tighten enough to properly imprison her and she still manage to keep herself upright somewhat, only to lean in closer to you and kiss your forehead softly before moving to your shoulder, where you pick her up, her weight barely a thing, another result of that Fae curse that’ll plague her for as long as she live.
It’s rare for her to look this happy, her body fake unconscious and she almost become mold in your hands as she entrust herself fully to you, all but expecting to be thrown in a cage of wolf.

What the hell are you doing…?

On the way back, the amount of lethality and general dangerousness of the area decreased dramatically as the presence of the Fallen and ensuing corruption of the forest forced a tactical on both side, you also crossed path with the 4 adventurers and almost expected them to jump you but, upon seeing Leila, they congratulated you on your ‘’victory’’ and offered to go back to camp with you as there were strength in numbers.

Of course, you and Leila refused, instead you ordered them to stay behind a few minutes in order to gain some advance in the case they’d turn on you and, thankfully, they didn’t. It may be quite a harsh move, but you have no respect or trust in foragers, especially if they were aiming for YOUR bodyguard.

As such, when you entered the almost delayed camp, you were greeted with many a clamors, followed by demands to see the succubus beheaded right then and there; thankfully the importance of your flags and Leila being at your side calmed the fevered spirit, instead you were requested to be transferred into the finished, makeshift cells of the crusaders camps…

You have to admit that you feel a tad angry without the mask, all these soldiers throwing your perfectly conscious bodyguard remarks ranging from ‘’whore’’ to ‘’profligate’’ with many a ‘’heretic’’ fuels your angers and almost made you jab a few guys in the throat.

Leila, all this while, silently keep vigil at your side, one hand on the pommel of her sword, the mask forcing her face in a total unreadable expression. You almost feel afraid of the girl, there’s no hell like a woman scorn, right?

‘’You huh? You’ll watch over her, right? We don’t have quite enough facility to hold a succubus and all’’

You can tell that the jailer want no part of this mess, he’s a perfectly average looking guy scribbling down notes on his ledger and look downright afraid of Mylen, constantly stealing glances at her and you, the pin of the Inquisition on your new uniform was probably the only thing that prevented eggs from raining on her person.

What do you do, do you throw her in the cell and join? Throw her, close the door then wait? Something else?

If they don't have the facilities to hold her, then we might be able to get away with putting her in Siggy's tent, say we have Emeth guard over her.

It'll also keep her safe away from any soldiers looking for revenge.

That's one more complication and liability in our escape plan.

>>26703702

I kind of like Puchi's idea of >>26703807 but modify it in this fashion: while Emeth guards Mylen, we send a runner over to Ahriman with a brief version of what has happened (leaving out certain parts that would reflect badly on Siggy of course) & request further instructions.

When Ahriman hears that Wilmarina Noscrim is dead, he'll either summon Siegfried for debriefing or may just come here personally.

"Is that so? Then I guess I might have to hold her somewhere else."

Leila stretch her neck somewhat, the fabric of her clothing clinging and creasing somewhat as she outright glare at a pair of halberd and plate covered man who, finished with the inspections of the cells, quickly scamper under the harsh attention of the Purifier; there doesn’t seem to be any prisoners at all, in fact this lead you to believe that the whole policy of the Church might be something like ‘’no need for prisoners’’

‘’Eh? Well tis not my business to snoop into what Inquisitors and Purifiers do my lordship, although there’ll be some visitors for this… new catch of yours rather soon, we do have a rather spacious cell…’’

While talking, the nervous man seem to regain some of his wits, he’s a guy around your age and most likely recently transferred to boot, nevertheless he lead you to the bigger cell which is nothing more than a big circle of high wooden plants with, of course, a wooden door to keep it securely closed. The soil is nothing more than worked dirt, a very somber place to be sure.

‘’Might have some places to stretches those wings an’ all, but if you’d take her away, well, I’d say that to those who come, alright?’’

What do you do?

>>26703950
If we bring Mylen to our tent, then Ahriman might see more than he's supposed to.
On the other hand, unless we're here in the jail all the time, Mylen might be terminated by one of the angels in the camp.

Guard the outside I guess

>>26704175

I say go ahead and put Mylen in the cell, stand guard ourselves, then send that runner to Ahriman with a suitably scoured Reader's Digest version of what has taken place and a request for further instructions.

You know Ahriman is going to want to hear more when he learns the Fallen Maiden Wilmarina Noscrim is dead. And when he hears it, I think a bigger tent and Mylen's conditional release (under Siegfried's supervision of course) won't be too much to ask of him.

Put Mylen in the cell and remind the jailor that the rank and file are not to be allowed near the prisoner, under the authority of the Inquisition.

We're also gonna have to request for larger accommodations to hold mylen as well.

Ver well then, put Mylen in the cell, guard and wait for these supposed ''visitors'' while trying to find a runner, if possible.

I don't think that will be too hard: Mylen's a big girl, skilled in battle, and way too stubborn to lie down and die for anyone.

In fact: gods help any Joe Blow Crusader who tries to take her out.

‘’Very well, you may go, although… I presume you cannot leave your post as of this moment, right?’’

A fearful twinkle appears in the eyes of the lad and he nods vigorously.

‘’Tis true aye, been assigned here until midnight today, long day ahead…’’

So much for your runner, the jailer is already on his way out and for a moment, you regard Leila for a potential solution but… the girl has kept her mask on and you can’t gauge her in the least, so instead you opt to the virtue of patience, open the door, and throw your lover on the ground like a sack of potato, Mylen hit the hard and roll over to a more comfortable position, growling under her breath and you do your very best not to grimace.

In here, you really need to keep up appearance… but you still avert your eyes when the blood eyes of Mylen cross with yours, you still manage to see her reassuring smile tough, and that only work to stabs your heart.

Instead you focus on Emeth, the girl seems to be in some sort of semi-conscious state and she’d been reaching out slowly toward you, smothering your distress with pure, raw empathy and love. Even so, it feels very artificial, as if the girl is literally inducing such emotions…

But it helps to have her support regardless.

‘’We’ll have to talk once this mess is over’’

Leila speak through the mask, the metal covering her face distort her voice to project an inorganic tone, you don’t grace her with an answer, instead you close the door to Mylen cell and wait for the situation to calm down; the soldiers have no idea what happened but the entire army was forced to hold and seek out a briefly alternate path through Zipangu province, the rumor of a captured succubus only added fuel to the fire, but no news of the Fallen, that information is likely kept under tight wrap, IF they have any ideas Wilmarina is dead in the first place, the only faction with first hand observers is Zipangu.

This is a mess in the making alright.

It take a good 20 minutes of standing awkwardly on your feet, unable to relax as the pressure of this crisis remind you of your short lived political career, the military is a much, much better place thank to the no-nonsense attitude of everyone you’ve met.

But as an Inquisitor, you’ve got a lot of things to worry about, especially since you are planning a double cross but now, said visitors arrive in the form of a duo of fully armed and robbed Inquisitors, the poor jailer almost eat his tongue in surprise but they simply march toward you in a robotic walk and finally stop at your level.

Those men, at least they have the stature of men, don’t look like your usual inquisitor; most of them possess some form of colored shawl or collar to distinguish themselves from the inner factions of the Inquisitions but here, those two loudly proclaim themselves as obvious extremist given that they’re entire hooded robe is of a bright scarlet, giving them an eerie presence, especially combined with the impersonal, simple metal mask covering their faces.

‘’So be it’’

You answer, keeping your gaze steeled and open the door to see Mylen sitting uncomfortably on the floor, hand in front of her and legs kept together as her hip wings are unfurled and deployed, she simply grace the little assembly with a completely neutral and conserved stare; the same kind she had on your numerous visits in the halls of the pompous nobles of your homeland.

Slowly, you crouch and form a quick ice knife to slice through the chain locking her feet, those things are one time use only and must always be cut to free whomever get attached by them, thankfully they can be recycled very easily and as such, your movements isn’t anything unusual; Mylen hands are still bounds.

With forced roughness, you grab her by the shoulder and lift her up, your lover comply while curling her wings, taking great attention to avoid touching you and keep silent, walking straight ahead as you take place in front of her and Leila goes behind.

‘’She seem docile, how quaint’’

One of the man remark, it take your entire willpower to avoid laughing right then and there.
If only they knew…

You half-expected some kind of crowd to boo the Succubus the moment you head outside, instead you walk straight into a square of scarlet robbed individuals that immediately welcomes you and Leila in a protective formation and set out deep into the busy camp, the Church constantly received supplies and soldiers throughout the night resulting in many forward positions and scouting camps to be erected out of simple necessity, but by now you’ve crossed path with tens of these bipedal war machine and you suspect they must be drilling a little bit in the woods of the island before proper deployment.
Of course, Mylen presence earn a few scorn and derisive comment nonetheless but nothing beyond your first venture, in fact the majority of the talk is done in mumbles given the very, very intimidating presence of these robbed figures, making your little trio stand out more than a sore thumb, you half expect to be waling to your execution at this rate.
Regardless, you follow them into the very heart of the camp where you remember Hieronymous large, strategic tent to be and that’s where you spot a certain light blue haired lady out of armor, keeping a low profile and following your little squad by walking from tents to tent and sometimes packs of soldiers, she’s also in Purifier uniform…

How odd.

--

Finally you arrive at something you’d describe as ‘’a camp within a camp’’ for there were various wooden fortifications in form of a large square with, of course, an inner gate that was opened at the vision of your group, inside is your typical war headquarter with racks of weapons, with various red robbed individuals watching over everything and everyone, also, you spot a brief glimpse of one of these strange adventurer but quickly focus ahead as you the Inquisitors abandon without so much as a warning and venture into the largest of the tents, leaving you momentarily stunned.

Obviously you need to wait, do you wish to ask Leila something about this place?

"Any idea what I should expect or how I should act?"

The fact that Leila is still keeping her mask must mean that decorum isn’t that important or… someone like her in the shoes of the prestigious ‘’free-acting’’ agents of the temporary Inquisitor-Purifier alliance is unsuited to be bare faced; absolutely everyone here is in these emotionally dampening mask and it’s leaving you very ,very uncomfortable.

Of course, Mylen is leaning in to listen as well.

‘’I’ve never set foot inside the reds, or the Flaming Fist, faction. Keep yourself on your toes, but I highly doubt they’d execute her on the spot or someplace far from prying eyes, this has more the looks of a shady deal than anything, one made fast at that’’

The heavy door of this inner sanctum have already closed, you hope to god whatever Ismael was trying to do is working because you could certainly use a bail out right about now.

‘’You don’t have any other ideas, right?’’

Leila shake her head and at this moment, a cascade of red robes exit from the tent, around 12 to 13 individuals exit one by one, forming a perfect set of double lines around your little trio, leaving you slightly speechless given this amount of decorum but before you can ask what the hell is going on, the man closest to you (every single one of these guys are men proper) speak.

‘’Siegfried Shieffer, you may proceed onward with your gift, the Purifier is to stay outside.’’

You can’t afford to ask why, once more, you must blindly obey but this time, you force Mylen with you with a jolt, the girl follow close behind, her head following the ground as she look more alert than ever and aware of her surroundings.

You throw open the inner drape of the cape and walk into magic itself, leaving you in a heavy sentiment of discomfort but not enough to keep you from detailing your surroundings.

First, there are a great many candles put on pedestal and tables, the heavy red silk of this tent prevent any ray of sunlight from piercing through and these decoration give a strangely surreal, occult atmosphere of a ritual made during the descent of the sun, there’s also around three tables spread in a perfect triangle full of great foods, from grapes to fresh pork with the inevitable alchemical device at the center to keep the buffer clean, warm and of course, to conserve it as long as possible, form the looks of things it certainly does look like many a hands were greedily dug into the delectable foods, the odor itself water your mouth.

‘’Here stand the prodigy’’

A warm, strong fatherly tone grace your presence and your eyes immediately lock with a pair of man.
The one that talked is youth probably of your age with short white hair and strong red eyes empty of light; where Mylen is alive and strong, the gaze of this man look about ready to be crumpled and discarded like a piece of paper, his face hover, is contorted into the warm smiles of priests, his very aura in fact, could easily be described as fatherly as his very breath and gesture looks strict, yet warm; a smile never leave his face and his clothes, despite the armor, doesn’t project the kind of intimidation you’d expect of Inquisitors… It is rare sight indeed to see a genuine albino.

The man beside him strike you as severely out of place, a shorter, younger man by all accounts, he’s garbed in incredibly colored clothed; bright orange, yellow and purple strike your pupil as feathers and heavy petals project an even stronger impression of…of… of downright lunacy, his hat of leather is also full of these oranges things and there’s even some grapes at his neck. Not only that, his face look bony and unhealthy, his pale skin reinforce the dark halo around his eyes, you almost suspect him to be wearing some kind of mascara and, in his right hand, is a cup of wine from which he sip on constantly.

‘’You have expressed the wish to expand your collection, consider this a token of my good will, master Tius’’

!

«Tius» Is a name you know only by reputation, a very infamous one at that. The land labeled as ‘’Center’’ is a sort of selective republic controlled by 4 families, one of them is known as the Tius family; they oversee all the shipping of the land and no doubt profited immensely from the crusader and ferrying of troops, but what is more important is… Audo Tius is known as an extreme hedonist to the point of rumored cannibalism; the most important part is that he’s a known collector of exotic animals and keeps many, many foreign entity in his mansion…

Filthy rich doesn’t even begin to describe him; his family alone could probably rival the Church coin for coin.

‘’Tis quite a specimen, succubuses are always so evasive…mmh…’’

He laugh, a feminine ‘’Mufufufu’’ that chill you to the bone in pure disgust as he lick his lisp and bring the cups to his lisps

‘’So, how much do I need to pay you?’’

Goddammit.

"Master Titus. Do I understand that you wish to take possession of this succubus? What kind of precautions have you taken for transporting such a specimen? I believe I do not need to emphasize their capabilities?"

File away that information for further use. Might be useful in a jailbreak.

"Be as it may, I must request that 'it' remain for the duration of the campaign. As I understand it, the succubus is a member of Zipangu's inner circle. Any further information she might be able to provide about our foe and of any further dealings with the fallen would be indispensable to the success or failure of the crusade here.

Once the campaign is concluded, the specimen can be safely transported home."

>>26707061
Question Puchi, how, exactly, would we know that about her? You're giving off implying implications that will be executed on. Leila's gonna be hard enough to bullshit, Ahriman won't buy it and then he'll have us burned for heresy.

I was thinking method of address between the soldiers of zipang.

We could say that the monstergirls referred to her as 'Lady', so perhaps a noble of some sort. My response could be changed to reflect that.

Also I don't quite get your second part, what do you mean?

>>26707061
Capturing a member of Zipangu's inner circle will not result in us keeping her.

>>26707193
That "could" work, but really, we'd only know who's in the inner circle if we ourselves were at least mid-tier servants of Zipangu. Tsu knows about OPSEC, she knows how to hide her cards. The Oni's just thought us a low-level spy for Ame and Tsu, not as a member of her inner circle/lover.

I'd also like to avoid revealing that part as well. That will most definitely land her in a torture cell with a lie detector. We'll get dragged into the same thing and forced to spill the beans. Or death is pretty much guaranteed at that point.

>>26707254
>>26707197

So I take it we omit any mention of Zipangu inner circle?

Then what argument should be used?

Maybe Mylen was somehow in relation with that recent incident with the outburst of corruptions?

>Consider this a freebie, if yo uguys can think of something better I'm all for it

>>26707362
"The specimen is too unusual to be for sale. It does not seem interested in sex and actually aided me against the Fallen Whilmarnia Noscrim who was the source of today's outburst of corruption. It also did not use any magic, instead relying on what I can only describe as insane prowess in melee, fighting that terrible foe on even footing until said outburst. This one is to be questioned and studied, not sold."

Ok. Doing another one.

"My lord. I must advise against that course of action. Any other monster or succubus even but this particular specimen.

I trust you know which area of the battlefield I was at? I was at the site of the flood of corruption when it appeared. Do you lords know what caused that bursts?

It was one of the Fallen. *dramatic pause* Not just any one but the felwhore's right hand, Whilmarnia Noscrim herself.

She was attempting to capture this particular succubus for some nefarious purpose to which I can only guess. This alone will require much time and study to properly understand.

Thus it is not safe for Lord Tius to hold this one. It would a tragedy should more of the Fallen directly intrude upon your personal sanctums in pursuit of their mark."

Wait for some consternation between them, then continue.

"However I do have good news. Today, one of the Fallen was slain in battle. Yes, Whilmarnia Noscrim fell in battle today. Both this succubus and Purifier Leila can verify my claims. It is unfortunate that no remains except that of the corruption and dust were left behind that we might parade for such a victory."

You try your best to avoid leaning forward, place a hand on your lover shoulder and intimidate this noble in favor of something a bit more… involved, his offer hang in the air for several seconds where he take several small audible sip of wine before tilting his hand, replacing his hat and finally asking ‘’well?’’

"My lord.’’

Your gaze hover around Ahriman, the High Inquisitor himself has crossed his arms together and is eyeing you with great, great interest beside that, you can’t decipher anything of his impression but it is likely that this may very well be the most important moment of your entire endeavor in getting this man dead.

You could spawn a spike and see him dead right now, but you’ve got two others target that would cause great woes to the women you love… wait and be patient, wait and be patient.

‘’I must advise against that course of action. Any other monster or succubus would do, but not this peculiar specimen’’

You wave toward Mylen whose red gaze look back at you silently, you have no idea what’s in her head, but she doesn’t seem too angry at being seen as an object… Maybe wishful thinking, women are so needlessly complicated after all.
Audo Tius very much look like the kind of man unused on the side of a «no» and he tilt his head again with a sadistic smile, taking his time to sip another little gulp.

‘’Oh? Why?’’

Perhaps the very fact that you refused him made him interested in Mylen.

‘’ I trust you know which area of the battlefield I was at?’’

You speak in a clear voice, looking toward Ahriman who, soundlessly, nods before speaking.

‘’Area A, the first of the three ambush sites of Zipangu’’

This time you nods, you almost feel compelled to walk but instead you stand beside Mylen and project as much presence as you can, digging deep into your military experience, although you make sure to measure yourself as you aren’t speaking to troops.

‘’Precisely the area that saw this sudden flood of corruption’’

A feminine «Oh» come from the clown who suddenly a step backward, dusting off his coat as he eyes you and Mylen with clear disgusts.

Cheeky one aren’t you…

‘’The burst was caused by one of the Fallen’’

The only kind of astonishment come in the form of another «Oh?» From this annoying twerp, Ahriman is the very image of self-contained, in fact it’s almost as if he knew it, he give you a strangely warm fatherly gaze that make you sick to the stomach.

‘’ Not just any one but the felwhore's right hand, Wilmarina Noscrim herself.’’

You immediately move in the silence, orating amidst the wicked is very hard indeed, it’s practically impossible to surprise them, in fact you suspect this rotten clown to gain the ambition of captured a Fallen.

‘’She was attempting to capture this particular succubus for some nefarious purpose to which I can only guess…’’

You take in a breath as the docile Mylen has now stopped looking at you or Tius in favor of glaring right at Ahriman who, in turn, looks back with interest, his smile corrupted in an amused smirk, Audo for his part, has finished his wine and moved to one of the tables.

Talk about a total lack of decorum.

‘’Thus it is not safe for Lord Tius to hold this one. It would a tragedy should more of the Fallen directly intrude upon your personal sanctums in pursuit of their mark."
You wave to the back of the man, his answer being an utterly uninterested sentence «Yes yes, I’ll need to set up a bit of defenses…»

Thus, you decide to press onward to announce the last bit of your good news, something that’ll, at the very least, please the High Inquisitor given that Audo Tius is clearly in his own world, suckling loudly on some grapes.

It is unfortunate that no remains except that of the corruption and dust were left behind that we might parade for such a victory."

The very first thing you hear is a «What a waste» from the noble, quickly overshadowed by the white haired Inquisitor who, slowly, give you a slow, sarcastic clapping.

‘’A Purifer and new Inquisitor killing one of the oldest public enemy of this era… with an unknown succubus thrown in the mix for good measure’’

Clap, clap, clap.

‘’Good work, I’ll have to make certain this…animal is questioned thoroughly, I hope this is still to your convenience, Mister Tius?’’

There’s a wet squeak as the young man eat into a piece of meat, next he glug on his cup and wave dismissively toward the Inquisitor.

‘’Sure sure I can have my fun with her too and ship in some more agents and material under your leadership if you’d like, as long as I get my prize I’ll stay in this camp until the end of the war itself... wait it's a crusade right?’’

His prize? Your eyes fly toward the High Inquisitor who, once more, smiles gently at you.

‘’Aye, one of the queens will be delivered to you in due time’’

Motherfu-

However a brief clamor outside rob the oppressive atmosphere of the tent of all intensity, it doesn’t feel like an armed conflict but there’s certainly a whole lot of protestations going on, Ahriman face shift in obvious displeasure as he unfurl his arm and sigh before the drapes open to reveal an armored clad woman in a set of magnificent blue plate, her long silky pale blue hair fall behind her in a braid, behind her two red robbed Inquisitors step back as she obviously stepped into the inner sanctum and, with a voice fit for any empress, she announced her intention.

‘’This prisoner is now formerly under the protection of Hieronymus Lex, she will be taken off the Inquisition and given to our leader for proper scrutiny’’

‘’You mean stolen from the Inquisitor and given to the Purifier’’

Ahriman remark fall on deaf ears, Ismael fingers to you and Mylen.

‘’You two will be coming with me!’’

There’s no way Ahriman didn’t foresee this outcome, however, for some reason, he give you a dull stare and a nod.

Question, why, exactly, is he intent on handing over a succubus for anything other than horrible horrible death. Indeed, handing it over to a man who will most definitely engage in the heretical sexy times with it? That seems quite out of character for a man who is all about the monstergirl senmetsu. He should be trying to kill this fat fucker somehow, in a way that won't trace back to him of course. Man isn't stupid.

Yes, "pure". Funny thing about that, seems that money can make anyone render any verdict you please. It's "pure" in name only, fucker's probably getting down with corrupted monstergirls day in, day out and always looking to have his way with the ones he hasn't fucked yet, to see what it's like!

He reminds me a bit of Hedonism-bot, fat and always off in his own little world. Always looking for more ways to feel more pleasured. A true devotee of Slaanesh.

>>26708950
Can't render a judgement on Ahriman yet, all we know is he's a plotter, hates monstergirls, and is *very* pleased with our work today. However, Tius I already want dead, slowly if at all possible. I just described what he seems like. I *hate* fuckers like that with all my hate. People like him run the world. It's why everything's going to shit.

>>26709027
Hence why I said in a way that won't trace back to him. A little "accident" for the rich heretic.

On a personnel note, I wanted to see Hadraniel as well but thinking of Siegfried if they had met, her innocent puppy eye love would have had broken his resolve. I mean Mylen already dented it.

And then the beans get spilled, or we get hauled back to Tsu, or we break down and go back anyway because we just can't deny that much love. I know why she doesn't hate us. Unlike Tsu, she followed the note's advice. She knows we wouldn't REALLY betray them. She fully believes this is the ruse it truly is. A pity Tsu and the others do not share that mindset.

Also, she's an embodiment class now? Of love no less? Damn, Orion just might have his hands full. Then again, "Strife" is a concept that is at home within "Love", he might have the higher concept. Now if only we can get "Faith" on our side, that concept can beat out most anything.

That is a valid concern.

The scene I had in mind with her was this: Hadraniel would have pulled Siggy in for one deep kiss then send him on his way and be careful on his duties.

Well then again I do imagine her as the type to awkwardly hold hands with her lover and only sneak in kisses when no one is looking probably in a bashful manner.

She would have grilled us on it regardless. She's already planning to do that thanks to Mylen's big mouth. Need to think up some grade A Bullshit...

We needed to gather intel on Zipangu, see if man and monster really could live together in peace. A doubt in our faith we just had to clear up. Then we met Mylen, who was asked by Zipangu agents to help them deal with a certain Lilim. Thirsty for vengeance and believing us dead by her hand she agreed to help the monsters. Then we find her corrupted and used our ability to cure her as fully as we could. We ate all we could, but the wings and red eyes remained.

We didn't want to drag her into this. She might have those wings and red eyes now but she's still the same woman we fell in love with long ago at base. We feared for her safety, her very life, if she came with us to the church camp. We left her fate in the hands of god, trusting her to survive so that we could see her again after the crusade and resume our loving relationship with her.

She's still human damnit, and we still love her. If that doesn't sit right with Leila or anyone else they can kindly go fuck themselves. Might not make it to the next thread, hope someone here remembers my BS for to deliver unto Leila to keep us from getting our ass burned at the stake.

>>26709437
Yeah, not seeing that happening. We're going to be punished somehow. We'll be on the couch, and she won't let us touch the fluffy for at least a month.

As for that Tanuki, her fate won't be disclosed until later.

>>26709776
And yet, despite saying she loved us, she couldn't just trust us and issued a general kill order. great.

>>26709779
He's tripped everyone's flag at some point. The going for Harem ends came in the later loops, the subconscious memories of the happiness they shared together being the impetus both for him going for it and for them agreeing to go along with it.

She's likely doing what she always did. Selling shit and brokering info.

>>26709797
The loops multiplied the love. Also I'm guessing the Bletsia event was uncommon for the loops, only happening in a few of them.

A bit of a mix of the two, when Siggy seriosuly went for them it was a more one sided love but now it's definetly the kind of ''loving camaraderie'' that make for a really unique relationship.

The vast, vast majority of the loop that ended the same always had Siggy fall for Athena, Sylphis or both and that showed in the inevitable butterfly effect of the combined loops.

Want to know why Athena wanted to fight you? It wasn't the corruption, really, just read this profile.

>>26710168
Ah, so now she loves us even more, because we handed her her own ass. We've just proven ourselves a worthy mate. Good, but I'm still scared about Sylphis. She did say that next time we met her she'd gut us. And she's an assassin class with a homing beacon...

Yeah, we ain't going into battle without a good amount of backup, if only to dissuade her from going for the assassination she'd likely succeed at.

>>26710168

There was. He overblew how much they wanted to fuck however. Perhaps they were like that shortly after Daiyu claimed the throne, but now they are much more human. Which is why we're fighting for the understanding end.

Oni, Minotuar, and other such "warrior" races want strong, capable men as husbands. In a kind of inversion of a Spike quote "I love a man who can kick my ass", and boy do they ever.
