You are Reinhold, master swordsman and victor of the Royal Swordsmanship Tournament. The King was so impressed with your skill, he personally requested that you be transferred out of the army and into the Royal Guard! Not bad for an orphan who was raised in a brothel in a poor fishing village.

The only issue at this point is your assignment... you've been charged to be the personal guard of the King's only daughter Marianne. While she is the vision of loveliness that you'd expect from a Princess, her personality is... well... she seems to have some issues.

You found out that Citrine and her husband are going to be at Prince Emilio's party, picked out a stuffed alpaca to give the Wilhelms' baby (and bought another for Marianne), told her about your past, and ate a bunch of turkey legs.

Marianne's just picked out a dress, and now she's getting fitted.


>Congratuations, you are now a mangy DOG!
>While dogs are loyal, they're not all that smart...
>The Princess now considers you to be her friend!
>But while dogs are man's best friend, they still don't count as people.

As the Princess heads into the back room with the old seamstress, you walk up to the counter and lean in as casually as you can manage, keeping an open ear for anything strange. While you're not stupid enough to try and go back there with them, you still need to keep on full alert just in case.

After a few minutes, Marianne and the seamstress emerge from the back room, much to your relief. Though the Princess looks slightly annoyed from having had her measurements taken, she's unhurt and that's what matters.

"Alright, this shouldn't take too long," the seamstress says. "I'll get on this right away, so just come back in about two hours and the modifications should be done by then."
"Thank you," Marianne replies.

The two of you then head to the exit, with Marianne breathing a sigh of relief once she finally steps outside.

"So where are we headed next?" you ask. "The bakery?"
"Yes... I can't think of anywhere else that I wanted to stop by today," Marianne replies.
"Alright, let's get going then."

Marianne takes the lead as you follow her down several blocks and around a few corners, taking care to avoid the sketchier-looking alleys. Just as you breathe a sigh of relief that she's actually making an effort to make your job easier, the two of you are stopped by the sound of a loud crash.

"Watch out!" you shout, holding your arm in front of the Princess just as a man is thrown out of the window of a bar across the street.
"What in the world..." Marianne says, completely surprised.

Immediately afterwards, a larger man jumps through the frame of the shattered window, landing feet-first on top of the man whose body had broken it in the first place.

"HOW DO YA LIKE THAT, YA PIECE A'SHIT!?" he shouts, his voice slurred.

Uh, calling for the guards is what any citizen would do if confronted by crime, it doesn't show any extra authority at al,

And why would a common scrub guard recognize the princess? it's not like he'd have ever seen her close up and identified as the princess, and Marie is dressed down.

Glancing over at the Princess to make sure that she didn't get hit by any broken glass, you notice her concerned expression as she watches the drunken man pummel his defenseless opponent into the ground.

"GUAAAAAAAAARDS!!!" you shout as loud as you can, hoping that one of them will hear your voice if they hadn't already heard the sound of that guy crashing through the window.

"THAT'LL"

PUNCH

"TEACH"

PUNCH

"YOU"

PUNCH

"FOR"

PUNCH

"SLAPPIN'"

PUNCH

"MY"

PUNCH

"GIRL'S"

PUNCH

"ASS"

PUNCH

As the alleged ass-slapper gets his face punched into the ground, you search for the guards... you shouted as loud as you possibly can, but they're still not here?

And then you notice from about two blocks away in either direction, several guards are running towards the scene as fast as they can.

Besides, she's actually worried for that guy and she's probably going to chew us out for not jumping in immediately.
>>
>>28031153
That concerned expression was before she heard about ass slappings.
>>
>>28031128
there's a difference between punching someone and watching a defenceless guy getting the shit kicked out of him right in front of you.

>>28031139
>We have a group of guards coming.
From both in front and in back, so they'd have to be rappelling in kidnappers from the roof or something, and escaping the same way.

Which, granted isn't impossible with magic, but probably unlikely.
>>
>>28031136
Have a look at >>28031086

>>28031079
Slapping an ass does not warrant a death penalty.
>>
>>28031173
Yeah. She's really going to let a guy get pummeled to death for that. Sure.
>>
>>28031176
I know, I saw it too, but the point I was trying to make is that we shouldn't always be concerned about what she thinks. There are times when we have to act on our own for the greater good.

Sure, if it comes down to a group of people and her, we're duty-bound to choose her, but this is not that situation.
>>
>>28031177
>>28031183
Pummeled to death, no. But I don't think she'll be losing sleep over him getting beaten a little more than he would have if we hadn't called the guards.
>>
The guards will be here within minutes, but that's still plenty of time for that drunk to beat this guy to death. Resolving to do -something,- you turn towards the Princess.

"Marie, stand back," you say.
"You're going to try and stop him?" Marianne replies with a concerned tone.
"Yeah. I'll be right back," you say as you hand her the bag you were carrying.
"...just be careful, okay?"

RIDER KICK

It's a great dynamic entry, and I don't think we have much holy shine experience yet. If I recall right, it's the consistency of a block of wood, which drunky might be able to break pretty easily.

What's the risk? There is with Tailwind, sure, but Holy Shine is great for this situation. Make a shield in front of the guy getting pummeled.
>>
>>28031231
>>No magic. Only fists.
We're still supposed to be incognito, so we probably shouldn't be throwing around any magic besides FIST.

Prioritize getting the guy off of his target over just giving him a beating, though. We need to remember that we're not jumping in because we actually want to beat the guy up; we're doing it to keep him from killing the guy he put through a window.

I submit that all spell incantations should be in haiku form, as haikus are pretty much completely designed to provoke specific emotions and thoughts in people with a lot more accuracy than any other type literary form and are easy to remember.

>>28031554
The spy became suspicious of us because of our skill.

Maybe in Takamaru's country. Not here.

>>28031566

>>
>>28031581
When we see him we will challenge him to a spar in haiku.
>>
>>28031508

Reinhold doesn't know what a haiku is. I can't see him finding out unless Marianne hands him a book on the subject.
>>

That’s it. I’m sick of all this “Masterwork Common Meter” bullshit that’s going on in the poetry slam scene right now. Haikus deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.

Cracking your knuckles, you run towards the two men as fast as you can, reaching them just as the drunk is pulling back for another punch. Takin quick action before he can swing, you catch his arm and pull him off of his downed quarry.

"The fuck do you think you're doin!?" the drunkard shouts as he scrambles to his feet.
"Just trying to keep you from killing someone," you reply.

Enraged that you would dare to interrupt him, the drunkard swings at you as hard as he can. But unfortunately for him, his attack is nothing compared to the hellish training that you've endured under Arnaud. Easily sidestepping his punch, you kick him square in the stomach and send him crashing into the ground back-first.

Just in time for the city guard to arrive!

"Thanks, we owe you..." a man in a captain's uniform says to you. "...oh hey!"
"Uh, hi?" you reply, unsure who this guy is.
"It's me, Benoit! From a few weeks ago!" he says, extending his hand to you.
"Oh, sorry for not recognizing you at first," you say as you shake his hand.
"Ha, don't worry about it," Benoit says with a chuckle. "We'll take it from here, but thanks again!"

As the City Guard apprehends the drunkard and gets to treating his bloodied victim, you head back to Marianne. She looks -quite- relieved.

After receiving a prototype summoning crystal from Niklaus, Reinhold retires to his room and begins some sketching of the maids again. Not drawing any girl in particular, his creative flow begins to illustrate a very charming looking girl. The crystals energy resonate with Reinhold's imagination, and a young woman materializes from the canvas. Reinhold is captivated by the maid, and she is as well with him. She never speaks aloud, but her hips don't lie. And she initiates the physical plucky plucky go bang bang and they shim shamma all over the bleepbop zork magoo.

"Sorry about that," you say. "I didn't want to leave your side, but that guy just wouldn't stop."
"No, you did the right thing. Thank you," Marianne replies with a slight smile.
"Want to get going now? We have a baby to visit."
"Yes, let's," she says, handing the bag from the bookstore back to you.

The two of you resume your trek to the Wilhelms' bakery, walking a few more blocks before finally making it there. After hesistating a bit, Marianne musters up the courage to open the door, sighing as she enters the bakery.

"Umm, good afternoon..." Marianne says.
"Hm?" Lorentz says, turning towards the door. "Ah, Marie! I haven't seen you in over a month! And you've brought your friend!"
"Yes... I've been rather busy, and you weren't around the last time I was here."
"Oh yeah, the day before the baby was born..." he snaps his fingers. "That's right! You haven't seen him!"

Lorentz opens a door behind the counter, revealing a staircase to the second floor of the building.

"Wait right here, I'll go and get Liese!" Lorentz says excitedly as he hurries up the stairs.
"Umm... sure," Marianne replies, blushing slightly.

Screw your Reinhold/Taka.

--

Reinhold hesitated, then stepped forwards. Marianne looked up into his eyes for a second, but averted them blushing.

"Are... are you sure you want to do this?" Reinhold asked.

"Yes..." Marianne spoke so silently Reinhold almost didn't hear her. "I need to solve this problem... this... thing with intimacy..."

"This fear," Reinhold echoed.

Marianne blinked her eyes and nodded. She looked so vulnerable. Reinhold ached help her -- and yet, he feared it too. That intimacy that two souls intertwined had... that could seep into your being and make root and then break you from the inside like a weathered boulder.

Reinhold stretched out his hand.

"May I?"

Marianne nodded. She swallowed, then shook her head. Reinhold waited.

She nodded again.

Reinhold's hand went out and touched her fingertips. Her arm twitched, and Reinhold stopped, holding his breath.

"No, please," Marianne sighed, "continue..."

Reinhold hesitated, aching to do it. With a swoop, he grabbed onto her hand.

Marianne squealed. Reinhold held on harder.

His hand roamed over hers, exploring every nook and cranny. The soft palm of her hand, the valleys between her fingers and knuckles, the webbing that connected the skin of each digit, her protruding thumb. Her hand was getting sweaty, the skin excreting the sweet wetness that regulated her body temperature.

"Mhng," Marianne made a small, almost inaudible sound. "Please..." she whispered, almost in tears... "Continue..."

Reinhold intertwined his fingers with hers. They were finally one.

You kind of feel like cracking a joke, but seeing the Princess's attempts at hiding her excitement kind of killed that urge. So instead, you wait the few minutes that it takes for Lorentz to come back downstairs.

"Alright," Lorentz says with a wide smile, "presenting my first-born son, Lorentz Wilhelm the Second!"
"Hi, Marie!" Liese says as she comes down the stairs holding a small bundle in her arms.
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Wilhelm," Marianne says, smiling intently.
"Ooh, and you brought your handsome friend with you!" she says, winking at you. "I just got done feeding and changing this little guy, and he's wide awake right now..."

Liese then comes out from behind the counter and stops next to Marianne.

"Isn't he just he most precious thing?" Liese says happily. "Don't be shy, Marie..."
"Um... if you insist..." Marianne replies as she extends her hand towards the baby, sticking out a finger.

"Oh... wow..." Marianne smiles as the baby's tiny hands grab onto her finger.
"He has a pretty strong grip," Lorentz says proudly. "Gonna be a strong one, just like his old man!"
"Sooo..." Liese says, turning to Marianne with a toothy grin, "...you want to hold him?"
"Wh- what?" Marianne's eyes grow wide. "I- I couldn't! I mean, he's so small..."
"As long as you're careful, it should be fine," Liese says as she pulls Marianne close. "So, how about it?"

And then we have to Royal Guard Liese and Lorentz. Chalk it up to treason. Burn down the shop. Build a new one on the ashes. The Game Never Stops.

"If... if you're sure about this..." Marianne says uneasily.
"Alright, then!" Liese replies. "Just put your hands like this, and..."

Liese then places her baby in Marianne's arms, smiling as she watches Marianne's reaction.

"I'd forgotten how light newborns are..." Marianne says.
"Yeah, he's a little one," Liese replies. "Sure as hell felt huge while I was giving birth, though..."

Smiling, you watch as Marianne and Liese fawn over the baby. You haven't seen her with such a happy expression on her face since that day Luciana was visiting and the King inivited you all to dinner.

"Don't act like such a stranger," Liese says, motioning for you to come closer.

We grew up surrounding by women, we probably know how to deal with this situation.
>>
>>28032487
Would the baby find it amusing if we did that sparkle shine thing? Or would that just give it epilepsy?
>>
>>28032580
Whores aren't supposed to get pregnant though. This is pretty high fantasy so they probably have a decent countermeasure available.

As long as we don't go flashing them in its face we'll be fine.
>>
So if the baby laughs with the woof we've got to rub it in that he got his mother's sense of humor, right?
>>
>>28032427

Guys, I thought up a scenario worse than this.

The baby wakes up and tries to nurse from Marianne.
>>
>>28032758
Just fucking stop already. It was funny the first time, but the bloody pile of gore and powdered bone which lies on the ground does not even resemble a horse anymore.
>>
>>28032758
Were I to scowl any harder I'd have a circle.
>>
This is obviously a trap. Reinhold is going to have his hands full of babby.
>>
Figuring that you might as well, you walk towards the two women and look down at the baby in Marianne's arms. He's kind of funny-looking in that way that newborn babies usually are, but he's still kind of cute...

"Just look at the little guy," Liese says as the baby looks around at the three of you. "Kind of makes me wish I had two..."
"We're not having another baby until that one's old enough to change diapers!" Lorentz says from across the room.
"Aboo! Aboobooboo!" Marianne coos as she pokes the baby's chubby cheeks.
"You can play with him too, you know," Liese says, nudging you with her elbow.
"Uh... okay..." you reply.

"Hello..." you say as you poke the baby's hands with your finger. "Hello, little baby..."

Seeing Lorentz the Second follow your finger with his eyes and struggle to grab it, you find yourself starting to understand why Marianne was looking forward to this so much...

"Hey, little guy..." you poke his cheeks. "...woof," you say as you touch the tip of his nose.
"bpsglpshh" the baby replies as he tries to grab your finger with increased vigor.

...did he like that?

"Ha!" Liese laughs, remembering that little incident from when you first met.

Magic users aren't uncommon, and it's not like we're pulling out a big spell, it's Sparkle Shine, not Master Spark.

Not really no.

Whats fun for adults and kids sometimes go the wrong way with babies. Even a funny face can cause a crying fit.

Just don't want to risk a crying baby cutting short Marie's fun time. Especially since we're already introducing to him a new element: a new toy.

Dammit, this is kind of fun... shaking yourself free of the allure of playing with infants, you turn to the Princess.

"Hey, Marie?" you ask.
"What is it?" Marianne replies, not averting her gaze from the baby.
"You want to give them that thing now?"
"Oh... that's right," she says, turning to you. "Could you bring it out for me? As you can see, my hands are full."
"Hm? Bring what out?" Liese asks, confused.
"You'll see," Marianne replies, smiling.

You then reach into the bag from the toystore, finding the one that Marianne picked out for the baby and then hiding it behind you as you head back to them.

"Go ahead," Marianne says.
"Here's a gift for the baby from Marie," you say as you bring out the stuffed alpaca.
"Oh, that's adorable!" Liese giggles. "You see that? Marie and her friend brought you a present!"

You then hold the alpaca up to where the baby will see, and he starts making gurgling noises and trying to grab it with his tiny baby hands.

"Aww, he likes it!" Marianne giggles as she watches the baby do his best to try and get his new toy. "I was worried that it would scare him..."
"Nope, it looks like he has a new best friend," Liese says happily. "Now say 'thank you' to Miss Marie, Lorentz!" she reaches over and waves the baby's arm at the two of you.

>>28033135
>"I was worried that it would scare him..."

Then you get an idea...

"Dancing wisps, gather before me and light my path," you say while focusing on the stuffed alpaca, Script forming behind you. "Sparkle Shine."

As you wave the plush toy around, fuzzy little balls of light start to trail from it, floating for a few seconds before dissipating. Surprised by this new experience, baby Lorentz starts breathing heavily and making loud gurgling noises as he flails his little arms and legs about.

"Using magic to entertain babies, you certainly have you priorities right!" Liese says, laughing.

After about twenty minutes of playing with the baby as Lorentz the First handles the customers who arrive, the baby finally starts getting fussy.

"Whoops, time to say goodbye..." Liese says as she takes the baby back from Marianne. "Better head back upstairs before he starts crying."
"Thanks for letting me hold him," Marianne says, smiling. "And congratulations."
"Thanks, Marie!" she giggles. "Just promise me that you'll let me play with -your- firstborn!" she says, winking at you.
"Th- that's not funny at all!" Mariane whisper-shouts at Liese, trying not to startle the baby. "I have no intention whatsoever to..."

Not even bothering to listen to Marianne's retort, Liese heads back upstairs with the baby.

"You're really good with kids," you say to Marianne as the two of you head to the counter. "I bet you'll make a great mother one day."
"Ugh..." Marianne sighs, "Don't start getting any strange ideas just because of certain assumptions that were made today," she says, glaring at you.
"Wouldn't dream of it," you reply.

"Thanks for bringing the baby down for me," Marianne says to Lorentz.
"Heh, no problem!" Lorentz replies. "Anything to see you two ladies smiing like that,' he says, giving a thumbs-up. "So I take it that you're ready to order?"
"Yes, I'll have two boxes of the usual... and a dozen donuts for him," she points at you with her thumb.
"Alright, be right back with that..."

Lorentz then gets to work filling Marianne's order, ending up filling three boxes in all. After she pays for the pastries, she takes the bags that you were holding so that you can hold them instead.

From there, the two of you make your long trek back to the dress store... fortunately, the carriage is waiting just outside so you're actually able to stow away the pastries before heading back inside to pick up the Princess's dress. After carefully bringing that into the carriage as well, you help Marianne inside, close the door, and the two of you finally start your journey back to the castle.

After finishing off her sandwich, Nicolette says goodbye to Sylvie and heads back out for a third go-over of the castle. Fortunately, there aren't any fights to break up this time and Dominik isn't around to creep her out.

But naturally, all good things must come to an end... a chill runs down Nicolette's spine as she spots her father in the hallway.

"I see that you're hard at work," Sir Gregory says as he approaches.
"Pretty much, yeah," Nicolette replies, sighing.
"If it gets to be too much, you could always retire... this is far from the only way to make Knight, after all. I know I sure as hell didn't have the patience to do it like this."
"Yeah, well I'm not you."
"But you certainly take after me, though..." Sir Gregory says with a smirk.

Nicolette places a hand on her forehead and sighs deeply.

"Whatever... I'm busy right now, so can you bug me some other time?" Nicolette says as she turns away.
"Yeah, yeah... one thing, though," sir Gregory says.
"What now?" Nicolette stops, sighing again.
"Ariane wants to have dinner with both of us tonight, so try not to have one of your eating contests with Sylvie and Reinhold like you always do.
"Yeah, I figured as much... whatever, I'll be spending the night at home anyways."
"She'll be happy to hear that. Oh yeah, I'd like to see you trying out that dress you bought before we head out... I don't want my daughter to be looking inappropriate in public, after all," he says with a sly grin.
"GOD DAMN IT WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS-" she shouts.

But Sir Gregory doesn't even wait for her to finish yelling at him, walking past her and heading down the halls without a single word.

.[1/?]
>>
>>28033455

"Ugh..."

Taking note of the time, Nicolette goes through the castle a final time, telling the guards to be on alert since the Princess will be coming back within the next few hours. After doing her part as well to make sure that the area around the castle is free of anything suspicious, she heads back inside.

"Oh, Nicolette!" she hears a booming voice say just as she comes through the gate.
"vincent?" she asks, turning to face him. "Uh, good afternoon!"
"And good afternoon to you!" he says, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Were you checking the perimeter just now?"
"Yeah, just making sure that everything's fine for when Marianne gets back," she replies.

"Haha, it's great to see that you're taking your job so seriouly!" Sir Vincent laughs like booming thunder. "Keep it up and I'm sure the King'll make you a Knight!"
"Heh, that's the idea," Nicolette replies.

"Oh yeah... I was meaning to ask you to watch out for Sylvie while you all are out in Marconetti," Sir Vincent says.
"I dunno if she really needs -me- to look after her, but sure," Nicolette replies.
"Can't help being a concerned father, you know..." he laughs. "Anyways, I'll be seeing you around!"
"Yeah, see you later."

>[2/?]
>>
>>28033461

With today's work done, Nicolette waves goodbye to Sir vincent and heads to her personal quarters. After changing out of her armor and into a loose-fitting shirt and pants, she grabs her lance and makes her way back outside the castle.

After a few minutes of walking, she finally reaches a familiar clearing, marked by several scarred trees.

"Anyone out here!?" Nicolette calls, just to make sure.

And there's no answer.

Great.

While Nicolette doesn't want to inherit her father's image of being a hair's breadth away from killing everyone who makes her mad, she -is- rather fond of her own reputation of effortlessly being stronger than anyone else in the Royal Guard.

So while she's put plenty of hard work into getting as good as she is now, she can't really let anyone else know about that fact.

After doing a few stretches, Nicolette twirls her lance around a bit and then assumes a low stance. Silently, she spends the next halfhour or so practicing her basic forms, making sure to do them as perfectly as possible. After that's done with, she moves on to different exercises, the wind from which kicking up a veritable storm of fallen leaves.

Nicolette didn't used to put in this much effort... but then Reinhold showed up. Already a bigshot because he won that swordsmanship tournament, he then proceeded to beat her while sparring not once, but TWICE. While he might be the best swordsman around that's under the monster-level of Arnaud and those other guys, that's still no excuse to just accept it... no, she's going to train even harder and kick his ass.

>[3/4]
>>
>>28033469
>[4/4]

Yeah, those losses just showed Nicolette just how much further she has to go before she can make Knight. The old man's probably right about how sticking to polearms instead of the swords she has natural talent with are holding her back, but fuck that. Grampa's up in heaven looking down on her, and she's going to show him that she hasn't forgotten her promise.

And besides, working under self-imposed limits makes you stronger for it!

At least, that's what she'd like to believe.

Nicolette then kicks a nearby tree, shaking free several leaves. Then, as they fall, she swings her lance countless times in an attempt to slice through each one.

No good.

Trying again several more times, Nicolette doesn't stop until she's completely out of breath and the ground around her is littered with shredded leaves.

"Oh... oh wow..." a voice says from behind a tree.
"Wha- WHO'S THERE!?" Nicolette shouts nervously.
"Umm, sorry for spying on you..." Melanie says as she peeks out from her hiding place.
"Wha- Melanie!? What the hell are you doing out there!?"

"I'm so sorry for interrupting..." Melanie says, bowing as deeply as she can, "I was taking a walk through the forest to clear my mind, and I happened to spot you practicing..."
"Fuckin' hell..." Nicolette grumbles. "Don't worry about it, it's not like you were stalking me or anything," she sighs.
"I'll leave now, so you can get back to your training. Ummm, don't worry, I won't tell anyone that I saw you out here!" Melanie says nervously.
"No, don't worry about it... I was just about to head back to the castle anyways," Nicolette says, stretching her arms. "C'mon, it's getting dark. I'll walk you back to the castle.

The carriage is well on the way to the castle... time to enjoy your donuts. You quickly devour a couple, but then you remember that Marianne -did- buy these for you...

"You want one?" you say as you hold the box out towards her.
"Oh... thank you," Marianne replies, taking one for herself.

The two of you end up finishing off the box of donuts as you ride. With nothing else to do, the Princess turns her attention to the scenery outside the window, eventually drifting off to sleep.

By the time you get back to the castle, the sun is low in the sky. Awakened by the carriage's sudden stop, Marianne exits once the driver opens the door for her. Taking care to not to mess anything up, you pick up the bags and follow the Princess out.

"Could someone bring one of those boxes up to my room later tonight?" Marianne asks a nearby maid.
"Certainly, Princess!" the maid replies.
"And the other box is for the ride to Marconetti... it doesn't need to come up to my room, but please make sure it ends up in whichever carriage we take."
"And what about this dress?"
"That's for the ball..." she says, glancing inside the carraige. "I suppose it can be brought up to my room so that I can try it on a final time before we head out."
"As you wish!"

With a deep bow, the maid scurries off to find someone to help her out with the Princess's requests.

"I have quite a bit of packing to do," Marianne says, turning to you. "After you escort me to my room, you'll be free for the night."

>talk to the Princess as you walk

From my perspective Reinhold wants all of them as close friends, it's just that the princess seems to have some pretty serious anti-social behavior issues he wants to help her get over. Pluss it's his job to worry about her.
>>
>>28033664
True but I am not seeing the sort of "I want him to give me the D" closeness but more "I can truly relax and feel safe with him around" closeness which leads more to platonic love

Regardless of what happens she seems to be opening up because of what we do not because she likes us in that particular way

Meanwhile Sylvie is teetering on the edge of friend / waifu and Nicolette is seeming a lot like Sully from fire emblem awakening where she would only marry someone who could keep up with her or is her equal and is seeing Reinhold be that
>>
>>28033670

Mentioning it at the tailend of a good day WILL dampen her mood.

Lets not.

It's those issues that I feel are actually leading somewhere though, while the other characters are mostly around for Reinhold to goof off with. Sylvie might have a crush on Reinhold but I haven't seen much from interactions between the two that actually look live an evolving relationship.

>>28033705
She has issues with intimacy, she isn't even going to consider the D until she's actually comfortable around him and believes she can trust him because of that.

I'm not really talking about getting more comfortable. That's something all the characters have done. I'm talking about changes in opinions and dynamic. In Marie's case, Reinhold went from sort of being bossed around and too intimidated to talk to the princess to almost controlling the entire pace of the relationship and talking to her every chance he got, and now it's seems to be kind of stabilizing into a more equal thing. The way they view and act around each other now is a lot different and it just sort of keeps changing.

"So Marianne, did you have fun today?" you ask as the two of you head towards her room.
"Aside from the dress measurements, that fight that we stumbled across, and... -that-..." Marianne says, sighing, "Yes. Today was rather fun," Marianne replies.
"That's good to hear."
"It's a shame that every day isn't as enjoyable, but I suppose that's life..." she says wistfully. "But anyways, thank you for everything you did for me today."

After a few minutes, the two of you finally make it to the hallway where your rooms are located.

"Well, this is it for tonight," Marianne says as you stop in front of her door. "We'll be leaving tomorrow morning, Melanie will come and tell you our exact departure time, but it will probably be sometime after when we usually have breakfast."
"Alright," you reply.
"We'll be taking two carriages... since Father will be riding with Sir Gregory, I'll leave it up to you to decide the rest of our seating arrngement since it doesn't particularly matter to me. Now if you could hand me my books?"

You then shuffle through the bag, pulling out the two books that you bought before handing the rest to Marianne.

"Thank you," the Princess says as she takes the bag. "...and thank you for this," she mumbles, holding the stuffed alpaca that you bought her. "Goodnight."

With that, Marianne quickly heads into her room before you can even wish her goodnight.

Yeah, that's why Marianne is the character we spend the most time around. But Nico and Sylvie do have their own subplots: Nico has her father and Sylvie will probably have something to do with her mother.

While you did eat that box of donuts with Marianne on the way back here, it's not enough. After dropping your new books off in your room, you head straight for the kitchen, ignoring all other distractions.

For it is time to feed.

As you approach the door, you see that both Nicolette and Sylvie are there waiting for you as usual.

"Hey, Reinhold," Nicolette says, waving to you. "How'd you date with Marianne go?"
"Nicolette!" Sylvie punches her in the arm. "You know that's not funny!"
"Yeah, it was just your usual shopping trip," you reply.
"Meh, lame..." Nicolette replies as she rubs where Sylvie just hit her. "I can't eat much since my Mom's cooking too, but I will hang out with you two until dinner's over."
"Oh yeah, it'll be your last night together for a while," you say.
"Yup, and my old man would kick my ass if I made my Mom cry by ditching..." Nicolette shrugs as she walks into the kitchen.

Following her lead, the two of you also enter the kitchen and sit down at the table.

"So Niklaus gave me this thing," you say as you hold up your wrist to show them you bracelet. "It's supposed to be able to change shape after it finishes charging or something."
"...you actually accepted a gift from Niklaus?" Nicolette says, edging away from you. "You sure it won't blow up or something?"
"No, he said that it would be safe," you reply.
"Wow... so Mr. Niklaus actually managed to convince you to help him out with his experiment?" Sylvie says in amazement. "He asked me to help when he first started work on it, but my father said that those crystal experiments creep him out so I wasn't allowed to."

"Yeah, he would say that..." Nicolette laughs. "You're sure that it's not going to like eat your hand or something?"
"I've been wearing it all day with no problems," you reply.
"So can it actually move or whatever Niklaus claimed it was able to do?"
"I haven't actually tried yet, but..."

You concentrate on the bracelet, trying to "order" it to... well, do anything. The first order of business is smoothing the damned thing out so you don't have that constant feel of sandpaper on your wrist, so you decide to try doing that.

"Umm, what are you doing?" Sylvie asks, a puzzled expression on her face.

As you continue to focus your will on the bracelet, its surface starts to ripple a bit before finally settling into the smooth texture that you were trying for.

"Whoa, man," Nicolette says, genuinely impressed. "You made it do that?"
"Yeah, though I'm not exactly sure how," you reply.
"You think you'll be able to get its shape to change entirely once you're used to it?"
"Maybe... Niklaus said that it was only a test run though, I think I'm supposed to return it when we get back from Maronetti."

That isn't until after the Marconetti trip to see how far we've pushed the thing's form.

MGNQ?

It has only been a day. Presumably it'll get more responsive with time and we were lucky to get anything at all so soon.

Think I'm at my linit for tonight, guys...
Good thread though, aside from Certain Things.

Next thread is I Don't Know, as I have exams for the next two days and I'm going to be busy on Saturday and potentially Sunday as well.

I really wanted to get to the end of the day before this current load of real-life garbage dropped, but hahahahahaha planning for time...

For updates, check my twitter:

And thanks for playing!

Good night, arch. Thanks for the thread. Babbies are adorable.
>>
Not that I want to pull this quest in that direction, but if Reinhold ends up with one of the girls and they eventually fuck, I'll be dissapointed if it doesn't turn out as bad as the Guts/Caska sex scene.

WHAT IS THIS AND WHAT IS GOING ONNN

Take care Arch, you will be missed. ;_;

I'll be disappointed if it's not fade to black.

I think special mention should go out to the drawfag who drew the original, before I edited it, since they actually have artistic merit.

Today we find out that Arch isn't actually a QM.

He is a drug peddler.

Way to go, OP. Cheers for the threads, and top of the luck on the exams!

Well I guess the "Become sword"fags would've gotten their bad tragic end at least.

I actually hoped Reinhold was gay and I felt sad when arch said he wasn't.

>>28034291

It'd take more than three crit fails to reach Shirou's level.
>>
>>28034291
>>28034294
I like the idea that Reinhold is basically asexual at the moment, but I would prefer it if he's helped to overcome his trauma.
>>
>>28034313
I like the idea that he's going to freak the fuck out if anyone tries to overcome his trauma.
>>
>>28034231
Thanks arch! Was fun as always.
There better be bandits or something on the trip
>>
>>28034324
Overcome his trauma by fucking?
>>
We all realize that this quest is going to die a sad death when he gets swamped by school or work, right?
>>
>>28034341

Marianne was Spinelle all along.*scare chord*
>>
>>28034355

Then everyone will pretend that it ended in their chosen happy ending.

i.e. in Sylvie's crushing embrace
>>
>>28033549
"No magic" is a perfectly valid route for a Royal Guard. The only reason Rein is dabbling at is because as a bodyguard we can't afford to ignore it.

It is literally life or death.
>>
>>28034231
I read that as "next thread is tomorrow as usual". Thx bye.
>>
>>28033705
>Meanwhile Sylvie is teetering on the edge of friend / waifu and Nicolette is seeming a lot like Sully from fire emblem awakening where she would only marry someone who could keep up with her or is her equal and is seeing Reinhold be that
Except we're totally not Nico's type.

>>28033730
we're not locked out of the option of punching it again,though.
>>
>>28034341
They'll fuck the trauma into submission.
>>
>>28034417
I don't believe it is when you've already unlocked magic. Not continuing to learn it is incredibly stupid.
>>
>>28034438

I'm pretty sure all female characters are romanceable.

Maybe except Ariane.

Yes, including Spinelle. I bet we're going to bump into her at the ball.

Emphasis on *bump*
>>
>>28034294
He also said we haven't locked out any routes yet. Yaoi route is still up for the taking. Just saiyan.

SOMEONE MUST KNOW for when they need to identify our body.

For a route to be blocked it has to start open.

Not enough Taco?
>>
>>28034417
But she does use magic in the form of that bloody pendant! It was her only contribution to catching the spy, too.

>>
>>28034444
Actually, you do make a valid point.

I wonder what Nico's strategy for dealing with spellcasters? Maybe she knows something we don't?
>>
>>28034487

Thrust through them
>>
>>28034476
We should totally get one of those pendants inscribed with Holy Sanctuary. Infinite use would be so much better than these fucking single use scrolls.
>>
>>28034494
PENETRATION
>>
>>28034462

Special twist: She's married a Marconetti noble.

>>28034458
Nah, OP has ruled that out himself, and thank God for that. Flame war of /pol/ vs /lgbt/ is the last thing this quest needs.
>>
>>28034241
it all turned out fine though.
http://view.thespectrum.net/series/berserk-chapter-333.html?ch=Volume+09&page=229
for a few chapters. then everything went to shit again cause berserk
>>
>>28034496
Given how "Holy shit this is a fucking nuts artefact" Sylvie was when describing Nico's pendant, I suspect that one with sanctuary might be borderline-impossible to get.
>>
>>28034487
She dies. Same as everyone else. There's a reason why all the royalty are adventurers and dragons and spirits.
>>
>>28034496
Something tells me that wouldn't be practical. If they had something like that available they'd probably give it to the Princess' bodyguard for obvious reasons, and if they don't have them then its probably because they're borderline (or maybe completely) impossible to obtain.
>>
Nico is just blocking herself till she is good enough to wield her grandpa's weapon. After that, she'll probably let it go and improve tremendously.
It is still a dumb thing to do but on doesn't always chooses the most reasonable and efficient method.
>>
>>28034508
her grandfather didnt have that problem when he was wrecking everybodys shit
>>
>>28034532
Are we sure he didn't use magic? He didn't seem to have a problem with it after she made Knight.
>>
>>28034527
I hope she's at least doing the MP boosting thing by casting til empty every night.

Would suck a lot if she only had 30 to work with when she started up on it.
>>
>>28034538
If she isn't, she is suicidal.

Why aren't they attempting to teach all their citizens the life-extending magic that anyone can learn.
>>
>>28034532
We also don't know what his full capabilities were.

All we know is she's limiting herself to polearm use for sentimental reasons until she makes Knight. That doesn't tell us anything about her Grandpa's combat style other than he was really fucking good with a polearm, and the use of magic doesn't prevent that level of proficiency (as seen by Arnaud and his ability to kick our shit).
>>
>>28034508
i dunno. as a royal guard shes basically surrounded by spellcasters who can deal with it.

But its also possible he has a strategy that isnt just "fight fire with fire".
>>
>>28034548
>Why aren't they attempting to teach all their citizens the life-extending magic that anyone can learn.

I think the issue is it's not possible for everyone to learn, at least in a practical sense.
>>
>>28034609
Put some fliers up around every town explaining how to mediatate, the Sparkle Shine incantation, and the nearest kingdom-sponsored mage for further information.

Boom, done. All the peasantry wishing for a better life will be all over that shit.
>>
>>28034609
still, from ages five and up they should have these little bastards meditating. in public schools. and as soon as the can into magic?
casting sparkle shine till they bleed from the ears.
mages pay form themselves.
>>
>>28034548
>>28034641

>Wanting the populace to possess powers endangering stability of the kingdom

How about no. Magic use should be regulated, not encouraged.
>>
>>28034662
>not wanting the populace to live
You pro-death bastard.
>>
>>28034662
Oh, the little baby mages think they can destabilize the kingdom. How cute. The real mages would slap their asses down like it's nothing.
>>
>>28034641
Its really, really not a good idea to have every man woman and child only one lesson or self-experimentation away from learning deadly attack magic.

Humans, as a species, are a bunch of shitheads. Giving them the ability to blow each other up with nothing more than an incantation is just asking for huge trouble.
>>
>>28034671

Death is a natural part of life. If everyone was immortal, this place would've been overcrowded rather quickly.

Fine, you can have your longevity vaccine, but having kids will be on permit, deal?
>>
>>28034677
the correct way to do things.
only the chillenest niggas would be allowed to live long enough to build up serious magical clout. ye'
>>
>>28034687
That's fine. The destabilizing nature of magic in the hands of the masses would naturally prevent overcrowding.
>>
In all seriousness, I'm sure they've already thought about this in the setting, or have some cautionary tale on why it's a bloody terrible idea. It'd be cool to ask about it and find out.

Maybe people in the west or east are all about magic. Those guys that worship demon children seem like they'd be cool with a society of magic users.
>>
>>28034714
Arch did say that shit gets more magical the farther you go (I forget which direction), so such a thing probably exists in some capacity.
>>
>>28034742
I get the feeling that the only reason the low-magic nations haven't been conquered is Alsiradna swooping in to administer a beatdown to any empires.

Or they're super-awesome somehow.
>>
>>28034811
It's probable that any country substantially attempting to increase its' number of magic users would be considered a threat.
>>
>>28034169
Bit late but I only noticed this on the catalogue now

MGNQ still has a couple of drawfags who throw pictures together at the drop of a hat, I know one and they were busy with university while nicehatguy who only took a name for his pictures actually has been busy with IRL stuff so his speed has dropped hugely as a result

Deculture has also been too busy to draw much and even run lately
There is one other namefag who helps decu with voting times and counting votes when it looks too close

The rest I don't know why they name up because they have no reason to
>>
>>28034836
It didn't sound like he would interfere unless a nation actually started conquering it's neighbors wholesale and setting up an empire.

If all the shit about that one country building up it's military and generally being dicks is any indication, normal wars can and do happen without Alsiradna intervening.
>>
>>28034874
I wasn't necissarily talking about Alsiradna. It would be a matter of concern for any country sharing a border.

Plus, we have no idea how widespread magical abilities actually are within the population anyway.
