You are Reinhold Eschenwald, 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.

After an interesting breakfast with Marianne, Elena, Inaba and Reya, it was decided that Elena act as "leader" of your little group until it's time for you and Marianne to leave.

And now it looks like Valerie and Racquel are joining in the fun...


>Congratulations, Reinhold is now a fearsome DIRE WOLF!
>Much larger than their the other types of wolf, the Dire Wolf's size also means that they are also that much more dangerous.
>The Princess considers you to be her dear friend!
>But while dire wolves are massive, they still don't -quite- stand on the same level as people.

"So what were you two planning on doing today?" you ask. "Playing with Elena?"
"Racquel wanted to go and bother Sylvie for a little bit," Valerie replies, but since Elena's here and Inaba's... Inaba, we'll be sticking around her?"

Valerie turns to Elena, seemingly for approval.

"Yeah!" Elena nods vigorously. "We can all hang out until Reinhold's grandma gets here with Carina!"
"Okay," Valerie nods.
"Valerie's heart beat fast," INaba says. "Like Karel."
"Huh?" she turns to the bunny. "What do you mean by that?"
"Is go fast like when Karel talk to Emilio," she replies.
"Wh... wha!?"

Valerie's face goes beet-red.

"Nice one," Racquel says, patting the bunnygirl on the shoulder. "I think we'll get along great."

"Ssssshut up, Racquel!" Valerie shouts. "You don't know what you're talking about!"
"Suuuure I don't," she says, smirking at her big sister. "We both know that Elena' replaced Guillaume as-"

With the tired look of a man who's only doing his duty, Reya thumps Racquel on the top of her head with his finger.

"Owwww..." Racquel clutches her head. "I was only telling the truth!"
"Just cut it out for at least a little while, okay?" Reya sighs.

While Racquel whines about "love taps," you notice another carriage pulling in through the gate.

And that's it.

Four girls in the quest are bi.

Go read webcomics and come back to complain about too many gays in there.
>>
>>37793402
I disagree, this is only the second bi character in the quest, and it makes sense for a joke to have carina accidentally start a harem already.

If it was really excessive I think we would have noticed by now, like in Pokemon Quest

I still love pokemon quest. but damn if there isnt excessive lesbians

"Hm?" Marianne peers at the carriage as it comes to a stop. "IS that..."
"I think so," you nod.

And sure enough, the first person to step out of the carriage is Marius. After getting some firm footing, he turns around and helps his pregnant wife down, then Agnes and finally he lifts Carina and gently places her on the ground.

"Alright!" Elena cheers.

Every roadsign is both in Breton and in French, middle class people send their little kids to learn an academic bastardization of Breton in hope of preparing them to learning foreign languages while the teachers ramble about keeping the culture alive, and we have folkloric shops and festivals. Oh, and cooking with butter.

The new administrative division caused some minor butthurt because we'll never get Nantes back, but that's about it.

Corsicans are much more hardcore than we are.

Taking off in a sprint, Elena runs as fast as she can towards the carriage with Inaba in hot pursuit. Carina's the first one to notice their approach, and weaves happily at her two new friends. And then you see Agnes turn to Inaba... though you can't make out what they're saying from back where you are, the look of surprise on her face says it all.

...and then Carina spots you, and it feels like you're watching this scene in reverse.

"Reinhold!!" Carina shouts as she towards you at full speed.

WHUMP

You slide one foot back in order to brace yourself just as Carina leaps into your arms with all the force of a little girl projectile.

"Hi, Reinhold!" Carina chirps. "Hi, Princess!"
"And hello to you," Marianne replies with an amused smile.
"I got to sleep in my own room!" she says excitedly as you let her slide back onto the floor. "And I helped Citrine cook breakfast too!"
"Oh, really?" you laugh. "Was it good?"
"...I brokeded the eggs," she mumbles. "But Citrine didn't even get mad at me!"

Of course she wouldn't.

After greeting Valerie, Racquel and Reya, Carina goes on to tell you about everything else that happened with her since you left her at Citrine's place last night.

>>37793697
I wouldn't be able to help you much, I haven't really traveled outside of France except on a few short occasions.

The current hip destination is Croatia because it's pretty cheap and the landscape is nice, but you'd probably want to see the culture and for that any big city is nice. I'd like to see Belgium and maybe Italy one day.

Everywhere in France has its strong and weak points, but I'd say the South-West has a nice mix between historical stuff and climate. Corsica is also gorgeous but there's not that much to do.

I was actually thinking in Brittany and France rather than in Europe generally when asking you that, your knowledge there is probably better.
Corsica sounds nice though.
>>
>>37793752
It's the cliché, yes. The most violent thing I've seen there was innocent roadsigns pierced by shotguns. Pretty exotic for your average Yuropoor, as you can imagine.

>>37793770
If you can handle the rain and have a thing for religious architecture and picturesque little towns it's cool.
>>
>>37793763
She is so frustrated at this point I think she would be happy to bone anywhere.
>>
>>37793763
I have a feeling the only reason they'd settle down is because she was too heavily pregnant to keep adventuring because she forgot to cast her morning after spell that day.

After greeting Valerie, Racquel and Reya, Carina goes on to tell you about everything else that happened with her since you left her at Citrine's place last night.

Just as Carina finishes giving her report, Elena and Inaba return with your family in tow.

"Fancy meeting you here!" Citrine laughs.
"Yeah, it's a real shock," you reply, grinning.

And naturally, you greet your sister with a big hug.

"I'm glad that you guys got here before we ended up leaving for the day," you say to them once everyone's says their hellos.
"Oh?" Agnes raises an eyebrow. "Then I guess it really was a good idea to leave the apartment as early as possible."
"So -this- is Granache's castle..." Marius says as he looks around. "I have to say, it's pretty different from the one in Marconetti.
"Yes, but I must say that I much prefer ours," Marianne replies.

After all, there's no place like home.

"Is Gregory here today?" Agnes asks. "I'd like to ask him about how the actual situation is back home..."
"Uh-huh," Elena nods. "He said that he'd be talking with UNcle VIncent and everyone else so he left early."
"I see..." she sighs. "I think I'll try and catch him before he's too busy to make time for an old lady like me."
"Don't worry," Marianne says to you, "I'll make sure that we stick around long enough for you to see her again before we leave."
"Thanks," you sigh.

It's like she read your mind.

"Hmm..." Marius scratches his head. "...I guess I should go and see Reinhold's Archmage friend while you're doing that."
"Sounds like a plan," Agnes replies.
"What about you, Citrine?"
"I'll keep Grandma company until you get back."

I go there like every other summer, but I have family there so it's advantageous.

The most annoying thing is that the metro smells like sulfur and hobo piss, and you'll be spending plenty of time in it. Otherwise the "rich" Parisians themselves leave so you're left with tourists, overworked waiters and immigrants trying to sell you something. I wouldn't know how much of a pain in the ass the language or our supposed dickish attitude really is, for obvious reasons.

I go there for the museums anyway so I'd say it's worth it. It's all about having a program for what you want to see.

"Hey Elena," you call out. "Since Marius needs to go see Niklaus and he wanted to see Inaba too, maybe we could all go there together?"
"Yeah, I guess?" Elena shrugs. "You wanna come with us?" she turns to Marius.
"I have no idea where anything in this castle is, so..." he laughs nervously.
"Okay," she nods, "I'm the leader so you can follow me!"
"...can I come too?" Carina asks.
"Go ahead," Citrine replies. "We'll all meet up later, alright?"
"'Kay."

"So you're gonna go back home with us?" Elena asks.
"I guess?" Carina shrugs. "I don't wanna go away but Gramma says that she's gonna go back to Marknety after Citrine has her baby and I'm sposta be living with her after that."
"Oh, so that's the setup?" Marianne turns to you.
"Pretty much," you reply.
"Hm," she nods. "That's really nice of your grandmother to do that... so she'll be formally adopted by her?"

"Actually, I think she already has been," you reply.
"Eh?" Marianne squints. "I don't understand now, you need papers for formal adoptions and she's not even in her home country right now."
"Well she brought some with her when she came here," you reply, "since she wanted to make things official with me and Citrine being taken into the Eschenwald family."
"Wha?" she gasps. "So you mean she-"
"Yup," you nod. "Since yesterday, my name is officially 'Reinhold Eschenwald,'" you say proudly.

That seems to have drawn Carina's attention.

"I'm Carina Eschenwald now!" Carina says, raising her hand in the air. "And Reinhold's my big brother too!"
"What!?" Elena stares at her. "No fair, I wanted him to be MY brother first..." she pouts.

Well that answers your question pertaining to that...

"Well congratulations!" Marianne says, smiling warmly at you. "On both the last name and the new little sister!"
"What, no hug?" you reply in a most teasing manner.

After letting out a long sigh, the Princess does just that.

"There you go," Marianne says as she squeezes you as tightly as she can, surprising you with just how strong those skinny arms of hers actually are. "Just like you asked."
"Thanks," you reply as you hug her back (but nowhere as tightly, of course).

"Alright, here we are!" Elena says, pointing to the entrance to Niklaus's study.
"So this is the place?" Marius replies. "Looks kind of spooky..."
"Yeah," you sigh. "I'll take the lead from here since Niklaus has a tendency to pop up out of nowhere. A stranger like you would probably get it even worse."
"...yeah," he lets out a nervous chuckle. "Thanks, Reinhold."

And so, you enter the study ahead of the others, with Marianne following closely behind you and the others trailing behind.

"What's this?" Niklaus's disembodied voice resounds throughout the study as you approach the usual clearing where you see him. "Reinhander, Princess Marianne... a human... a half-dragon, and FIVE little girls?"

With a long sigh, Niklaus appears from behind a shelf.

"Hey, Niklaus," you say, waving to the Archmage for the second time today.
"I see that you've brought quite the entourage here this time," Niklaus sighs. "What's the occasion?"
"Well this," you grab Marius by the forearm and pull him over to where Niklaus is, "is my brother-in-law that I mentioned before."
"Oh!" he claps his hands together. "The artist!"
"Yeah," Marius nods. "I have to say, your choice in decorations is pretty artsy itself..."
"To each his own, I suppose..." Niklaus replies.

Mumbling to himself as he goes, Niklaus paces around Marius a few times before disappearing into the back area of the study.

"I apologize for our Archmage's lack of manners," Marianne says. "He acts like this towards everyone."
"Don't worry," Marius shakes his head, "I'm used to it. Compared to most of the artists I know, he's downright welcoming."

"Not like in here," Inaba says. "Smells of sickness."
"Huh?" Elena turns to her friend. "He's sick?"
"No," she shakes her head. "Is... thing that grows inside," she says. "Is like smell of Reinhold's sword, but different. Goes inside, makes bad. Kiseishouseki."
"Key...?" Elena tilts her head. "I dunno what that is."
"...never mind," she mumbles.
"Oh!" Racquel snaps her fingers. "Sylvie said that Mr. Niklaus was working with those gross crystal things that Daddy didn't want her getting near! They infect animals like bears and rabbits..."
"Yes," Inaba nods. "That."
"Well you have a soul now so you'd be immune," she replies. "Unless he made some that can actually withstand the intensity of a soul, that is..."

The way she laughs is so incredibly creepy.

>>37794456
Well at this point he would be right to hate us but I was more joking about how according to /qtg/ he's some kind of spiteful asshole who created PGQ for the pleasure to torment us with RAILROADING.

"No, little girl," Niklaus says as he emerges from the back wearing a pair of thick gloves and holding a tray, "I have yet to accomplish that."

You see Valerie hit Racquel while muttering something about fearmongering.

"Anyways," Niklaus says, placing the tray on the table, "here's your new bracelet, mister artist. All you have to do is touch it and it'll key in to your personal magical signature and then I'll have -two- test subjects with the Water affinity helping out."
"...two?" Marius asks.
"Yourself and Princess Karel," he replies. "The third is Reinschmeker here, but he's of the Metal affinity."
"...I see," he nods.

Carefully, he reaches out towards what looks like a sand-covered bracelet.

"So all I have to do is put it on?" Marius asks.
"Yes," Niklaus nods. "Give it a few days to fully assimilate the metal in the bracelet itself and you'll be good to go. From there, you should be able to manipulate its shape simply by thinking about it."
"Just like this," you say, holding out your wrist to show him your bracelet as it starts to ripple.

"Alright, I guess I'll give it a try after all," Marius says, taking the bracelet off of the tray and placing it on his wrist. "But, umm..." he smiles nervously, "I have a small child, elderly grandmother and pregnant wife at home... this isn't going to be dangerous to have around them, is it?"
"No moreso than your paints," Niklaus replies. "I wouldn't hand out experiments that were actually dangerous out to random relatives of friends."

Marius seems to be satisfied with that response.

>>37794592
I don't get the deal with Bloodstein/Shiniez though. Is it one man pretending to be a couple, an artist and his colorist pretending to do entirely separate works, or is it legit?

Shiniez is Nebezial, who is comic writer Stephen Sejic.
At the beginning Sejic pretended and implied that he wasn't the man behind Shiniez but didn't say so outright.

Sejic's wife is also a comic artist who is the author and artist of Bloodstein.
>>
>>37794655
Ha, so it's legit then.
>>
>>37794655
>>37794625
They are separate people who are husband and wife who both draw and write their own comics.

>>37794685
He won't be able to target anyone while he's shovelling four feet of snow.
>>
>>37794685
We will come back and the castle will be in ruins.
>>
>>37794685
Karel and Emilio are the biggest threat to the masked man.

We've already speculated that the targeting of Celestino's children by Gregory's sister was because they were all as yet unmarried, and because Celestino was blatantly trying to use them to reunite Granache and Marconetti.

With Karel now revealed to be a princess of Granache - albeit slightly tainted by bastardy - and a relationship with Emilio flourishing, they become a serious problem for the assassins whose employers we can only really assume to be in the employ of ... what was that slaving country doing the sabre rattling? Ancellotta?

Maybe they planned to force Celestino to marry his kids to some of their own royals to prevent the war?
Or they just wanted to blackmail him. But that brings into question why the fact that they're unmarried would matter.

The masked guy has to be Pellegrino. You don't put a masked badass in your story to reveal that it was someone nobody know. And nobody else really fits the profile.

Old shit but I wonder if anyone disagrees with this.

I was also reading since then, but I was never so silly as to actually believe that they weren't the same dude. The only people who draw like that are Sejic and his wife, after all.

With the bracelet issue done with, now it's time to get to the other reason that you and the others came in here.

"And now, um..." you glance at Inaba. "Elena?"
"Huh?" your words snap her out of her daydreaming.
"The reason you're here with us?"
"Oh yeah," she nods. "Umm, Mr. Niklaus? This is Inaba," she says, taking her friend's hand. "She was a normal bunny but then she sended."
"Oh!" the Archmage gasps. "So this is..."

He rushes to the little girl's side.

"I should have known from the ears!" Niklaus laughs. "OR the scent!"
"I not stink," Inaba snaps back. "You stink."
"That's not what I meant, my cute little rabbit child..." he shakes his head. "...anyways, on to the testing!"

He moves to take her hand, but Marianne steps in the way before he can.

"Princess?"


>[1/?]

>Hold the loli bunny away from Niklaus before he goes to SCIENCE mode.
>>
>>37794963
Hell hath no fury like a Princess defending a cute thing.
>>
>>37794963

"I believe it goes without saying that you're not to use Inaba here as one of your test subjects," Marianne says, glaring at him.
"Oh of course not," Niklaus sighs. "In the eyes of the World itself, this rabbit child is no different from you or I... she's actually above both of us now, come to think of it."
"As long as you understand," she replies.

After Marianne steps aside, Niklaus leads Inaba over to the table and gives her a quick look-over.

"How old are you, if I might ask?" Niklaus says, adjusting his glasses.
"......not know," Inaba replies.
"No matter," he shrugs. "I can take care of that without much trouble..."

A wall of Script appears behind the Archmage in the blink of an eye, and he places his hand on Inaba's head.

"Aging Ring."

Without much fanfare, the Script disappears.

"Oh!" he snaps his fingers. "Eleven years old? I wouldn't have expected that, considering your size... but then again, that doesn't necessarily match up to normal human development."

>>37795008

>>37795008
>Inaba is now the oldest loli
I can't wait for her to start pulling rank on Elena.

>>37795008
Inaba is the elder loli in this quest it seems.

>>37795024

>>
>>37795024

>>37795008
Inaba is oldest little girl?
My world is now upside down.
>>
>>37795027
>>37795028

Valerie is one year older than Inaba.

And only two years younger than Marianne while we're at it.
>>
>>37795024
He'll, maybe he can do that on us? IIRC we only have a rough guestimation for our own age.
>>
>>37795039
Three years. Marianne is fifteen and Valerie is twelve.

>>37795040
Reinhold was a few days when he was found so his age has never been in question.
>>
>>37795039
Yeah, but Val is about to age out of lolidom. Plus she's too busy crushing on Inaba and trying to keep Raquel under control to actually lead the group.
>>
>>37795051
Ah yes, it's Karel who's 14.
>>
Arch, it's 11pm, hurry up and finish the quest so I can go to sleep.
>>
>>37795067
No, don't stop!
>>
>>37795067
No! I just got back from uni, I've got the whole day ahead of me. Please go all night, Arch!
>>
>>37795067
shh, if the turtle doesnt notice the time, perhaps he'll just keep going.
>>
>>37795039
Valerie is already starting to age/mature out of it though.

>>37795067
>>37795089
Pretty sure he's aware of the time, but he has a head of steam going. Beware the turtle when he goes full steam ahead.
>>
>>37795008

"What!?" Elena gasps. "You're older than I am!?"
"Wow," Racquel laughs. "And almost as old as Valerie here. Hey, who'd have thought that your main competition would ba-"

Reflexively, Valerie punches her sister in the shoulder.

"I am... eleven?" Inaba asks. "That is more than this?" she holds up her hands.
"One more than that," Marianne replies.
"...oh," she nods. "I only count to ten."
"Speaking of which..." Marius turns to Carina, "...would you mind using that spell on my little sister here?" he asks, picking her up.

It looks like Marius has completely accepted her new place in the family.

"Well I don't see why not," Niklaus replies.

With a flick of the wrist and a pat on Carina's head, Niklaus does his thing once again.

"Seven," he says. "Just shy of six, actually..."
"How much is that?" Carina asks.

>"Seven," he says. "Just shy of six, actually..."

Wait, it's Carina's birthday in about a week or he revised her age downwards by a year?
>>
So what is age of characters now?

Valerie(12)>Inaba(11)>Racquel(?)>Elena(8)>Carina(7)
>>
>>37795156
The way I read it, it was her birthday last week or so.
>>
>>37795163
So for her birthday she got saved and adopted by Reinhold?
>>
>>37795163
Well she got one hell of a present then.
>>
>>37795168
Pretty much. That should be the day we celebrate as her birthday.
>>
>>37795103
>[4/4]

From there, Niklaus casts a bunch of spells on Inaba (with Marianne watching him like a hawk to make sure he doesn't do anything shady) and jots down his findings down in a notebook. Racquel seems to be extremely interested in what he's doing, but Valerie just looks worried about her new friend.

...well maybe not so new, considering that she's known her in rabbit form for over a month now.

After the tests are finished, you all bid farewell to the Archmage and make your way back into the hallway.

"The first thing we need to do when we get home is teach you your numbers, Carina," Marius says, patting her on the head.
"So I can not be dumb anymore?"
"You're not dumb now," he sighs. "We just need to teach you stuff."
"I want Gramma to teach me sword stuff," she replies.
"So do I!" Elena declares. "And when we go back home to Marconetti, we can do sword stuff together!"
"'kay," she nods.

Valerie doesn't seem all that happy to hear that.
