Long time no see.

>>45438723
>Princess carry her to her bed.
It's happening! Welcome back!

>>45438723
>Princess carry her to her bed.
Cute.

Unanimous voting? I must be in the wrong quest.

You would feel bad if you were to wake her up, especially because it's the dark of the night and you're both supposed to get some rest. You therefore decide to just bring her to her own bed so she can sleep comfortably.

Before you actually try and lift her up, you decide to slowly clear the way to her room and slide the doors open wide so you can comfortably pass with someone in your arms. You're relatively confident you could use your tail to open a door even if your hands are busy, but in the dark and sleepy as you are it's better to not take chances.

Your preliminary task is to gently move her arms on her belly so they don't just fall over or flail around as you move her, and also so you can get a better grip. You also have to be extra careful with her hair, which is very long and she's resting her weight on it. Very carefully, you slip one arm under her neck and get a solid grip on her shoulder, trying to fit the back of her head on your elbow. With your other arm, you scoop up her thighs and prepare to lift her.

You were a child the last time you were carried like that yourself, and you barely remember because the situation was very similar. You do remember doing it once with another child, so it's not like you're a complete rookie when it comes to princess carrying. On the other hand, Astreya, while definitely not a heavy woman, is also quite assuredly not a child.

You're no weakling, but it takes quite a bit of effort to actually lift her up, and in your still somewhat drowsy state you feel the strain on your back that urges you to not linger more than absolutely necessary.

Awkwardly but successfully, you stumble across the house and lie her down on her own bed. She is not snoring any longer but still looks fast asleep. You hope.

But it's also kind of inconvenient: you did not discuss where you'd be sleeping tonight.

>Sleep in her bed.
>Sleep under her bed.
>Go back to the couch.
>Take Yomi's bed.
>Wake her up after all.
>Other?

>>45439000
>Sleep under her bed.

Be the bedmonster! Grab a blanket or something though.

>>45439000
>Go back to the couch.
The safe route.

>>45439000
>Sleep under her bed.
Sounds funny, let's do it!

>>45439000
>>Sleep in her bed.

>>45439000
>Sleep in her bed.
Cuddle her

>>45439147
Excellent tie anon, now I feel more at home.

>>45439201
So do I, I missed you.

Now break that damn tie

>>45439236
Roll?

>>45439039
Alright, I'll swap to
>Sleep in her bed.
It's cozier and more tie-breaking.

>>45439236
Sorry, I can't break the tie because I really, really don't think Lillith should sleep on the floor, under a bed, as funny as it sounds.

>>45439000
>>Sleep in her bed.

You don't want to join her in the bed, you've been intimate enough lately and your relationship does not have quite that level of commitment. At the same time the sofa is likely unsafe considering you fell from there once already. Yomi's bed is just not an option.

Then again, where are you going to sleep? Under the bed? There is enough room for you to fit under the bed, but are you going to? A quick feel with your tail reveals that there's stuff underneath, and most of that is dust. You're nearly brought to sneeze just from shoving your tail down there, let alone going with your face, nose and everything.

Definitely not an option.

Even though it might not be appropriate, you silently and very carefully slip in the same bed as her, trying your darndest to not wake her up as you do so. You like to believe you succeeded as she has no reaction at all, peaceful and content just like when you first moved her. The bed isn't really built for two people but if you squeeze a bit you can and do fit, and that's enough for you.

You promise yourself to wake up before she does so you can slip away and pretend nothing happened, or start taking care of the chores first. And then you wake up and realize it's morning and you're alone in the bed.

Damn it.

You stumble out of bed and nearly trip and fall, entangled as you were in the blankets. The commotion you make brings Astreya's attention towards you as she brings a couple small cups of steaming hot coffee on the low table in the study.

“Good morning! Don't fret, you don't have to keep pretending to be my familiar. You served me well enough, and I thank you, but I'm just waiting for Yomi to come back. Coffee?”, she then offers, kind as ever. Surprisingly, she's already washed, dressed and her hair is properly combed.

>”Yes please”.
>”No thank you”.
>”I'm sorry”.
>”Good, I was getting sick of this”.
>”Have I been a good familiar?”.
>”So wait was this just a game?”.
>”I was having fun”.
>Other?

>>45439490
>”Yes please”.
>”Have I been a good familiar?”.

>>45439490
>”I'm sorry”.
>”Have I been a good familiar?”.

>>45439490
>>”Yes please”.

>>45439490
>”No thank you”.
>”I'm sorry for sleeping in your bed”.
Don't get addicted to caffeine Lillith!

You're not sure you want coffee right now, but you nonetheless accept, if anything because she made it for you and it would be bad to leave it to waste.

"Thank you", you accept as you get out of bed yourself and quickly try to fix your looks to the barest standards of decency. Seeing her do it and not even trying to do so yourself makes you feel kind of bad, after all. "So, have I been a good familiar?".

She chuckles. Quite a bit, actually, as if the question was more amusing to her than you imagined. "Lillith, my dear, you're a great boon to those around you, but I don't think you should measure up to the idea of being a familiar".

You pause for a moment, weighing her words, "Is that a yes or a no?".

"A yes and a no", she smiles at you, "You're not a demon, so you definitely shouldn't bother to compare yourself to one. Especially not to Yomi. Besides, whether you're fit for someone depends on the recipient, not just on you".

You understand she is speaking from an experience that can only come with age, as someone who has lived through plenty of time.

And then the door slams open, and a short figure with a deep frown stares right at you as he steps in. "Did you set this fucking house on fire while I was gone you incompetent whore?", Yomi asks, without even saying hello first.

“Welcome back Yomi!”, Astreya waves gleefully at him.

“Shut up old hag you're so senile you can't tell a familiar from a dumb slut any more, I bet you just wanted to ride her cock”, he then crosses his arms and stares at you, frowning, “Well? Did you forget how to talk while I was gone?”.

>Ignore him
>”No one missed you”.
>”I did not set the house on fire”.
>”I set the house on fire, yes”.
>”I set the house on fire and also fucked your mistress”.
>”I set the house on fire and also fucked your mistress. And your mom, too”.
>”Welcome back Yomi!”.
>Other?

>>45439814
>”I did not set the house on fire but she did enjoy my cock, so you're 1 for 2."

>>45439814
>”I did not set the house on fire, but I fucked your mistress”.

>>45439814
This>>45439883

>>45439814
>”I set the house on fire and also fucked your mistress”.
>"How about you, enjoy your time off?"

>>45439814
>>”Welcome back Yomi!”.

>>45438723
Astreya 2cozy.

Lillith has found the meaning of Familiar-ness, but can never achieve the necessary level of vitriol. Just too darn nice!

>>45439947
Comfiest demonologist of all time

>>45440062
We need to cuddle Tahe more so we can compare.

>>45440076
That is a sound proposition

>>45439814
>”I set the house on fire and also fucked your mistress. And your mom, too”.
Heh

"I did not set the house on fire", you protest, "But your mistress did enjoy my cock so I guess you're only half right".

"Then you're only half useless slut", he concedes, "The other half is just worthless trash".

"Welcome back Yomi!", you smile at him, "How about you, did you enjoy your time off?".

"I did enjoy being far from you two fuckers, if only there were no worthless humans on this useless world then I could maybe enjoy myself a little bit. Pity you're everywhere to remind me what terrible waste of skin you all are". You also notice he's not wearing the same outfit, but a quite different one-piece, light brown with a gray and blue trim and knitted in cotton, with large, round, black buttons all along his upper chest. It still has a skirt and would fit great on a very cute girl even though he was, in theory, under no obligation to keep cross-dressing at least for that day.

"Have you been to Aldebaran?", Astreya wonders, looking at his outfit and cozy sandals, "You're faster than I thought".

"Where I've been is no concern of yours old hag, now let me see what this incompetent mistressfucker did in my abs- oh for fuck's sake!", he audibly complains as he struts in Astreya's room, "This shit is a mess! Did you never make the fucking bed? What's all this dust?".

"But that was always th-".

"If you weren't so busy giving her the D you would have forced her to sweep her fucking room for once in her useless life!", he protests, “I don't even want to go look at the fucking kitchen”, and yet he does.

“I-”.

“By the blue lanterns of Acheron I have never seen something this fucking sad! You fucking ruined her diet with what you cooked her!”, you weren't even aware she was following a diet, and you don't think you gave her anything weird. Besides, how does he know what you cooked? “Do you want to turn her into a landwhale? Do you want her fat ass to break her fucking staff as she flies? I sure as hell won't try to grab her!”.

>Continue

>>45440170
I bet Astreya wouldn't be bad with a little bit bigger booty Yomi, no bully.

>>45440170
Hahaha, what.

Astreya seems to be quite amused to hear Yomi's tirade. She doesn't say a word, and you can hardly get one in yourself, he finds more ammunition the more seconds he spends inside the house. In all honesty, he does look to be genuinely amazed at the level of abandon that he's finding, even though to you the house looked tidy and quite cozy.

"And what the fuck is this shit? Did you move the books?", he asks as he flips through the shelves, "You did move the fucking books! What the fuck were you thinking? You can't even read you fuckhead!".

"I can-".

"Oh merciful green fires of anguish!", he even puts his hands to his head, his headwings flipping in obvious concern. He doesn't even continue the sentence, he just zooms upwards to the attic.

"I FUCKING KNEW IT!", he hollers from above. He sounds more distant than he ought to be and still manages to overcompensate with his voice, "YOU'VE FUCKING BEEN HERE HAVEN'T YOU? WHO TOLD YOU YOU COULD COME INTO MY ROOM! I SHOULD HAVE SEALED IT FUCKING CLOSED FOREVER! I SHOULD BURN IT DOWN NOW!".

You look at Astreya, who still seems to be enjoying herself, "Oh, sorry", she admits while chuckling, "He's actually very possessive of that attic, I probably should have told you".

"YOU TOUCHED EVERYTHING! YOU MOVED MY STUFF! I'M GOING TO GET FUCKING LILLITHITIS AND TURN INTO A COCK-OBSESSED WHORE!", he moans to nobody in particular.

“You were on a diet?”, you ask Astreya, suddenly concerned, but she just keeps trying not to laugh openly.

“He insists that I am”, she admits, “I think he's just trying to give me a complex or something. Can't say it's been working, but admittedly I am a bit of a glutton so it's not like he has no reason to try and stop me from going overboard. Magic can be very energy-intensive but even then I often eat out of gluttony than actual need”.

>Ask Yomi about that herbalism book.
>Slip away while he's distracted.
>Go upstairs to check on him.
>Wait until he comes down.
>Other?

>45440317
>Go upstairs to check on him.
>>Ask Yomi about that herbalism book.

Asking about it while he's busy with something else ought to tick him off more.

>>45440317
>Wait until he comes down; spend the time waiting rearranging the room.

BULLY

>>45440317
>LILLITHITIS
This sounds like a pretty cool disease.

>Ask Yomi about that herbalism book.

>>45440317
Huh, turns out his weakness was OCD all along? Don't need to try and trade abuse with him when you can move a vase and send him into conniptions.

>>45440317
I'm impressed at your creativity in writing Yomi's outbursts.

So do you want to BULLY upstairs or downstairs? I'm counting another tie here.

>>45440507
Rearrange the room for maximum bully! I won't budge!

>>45440507
Why not both? Go upstairs to check on him, ask about book, see how fun it is to bully him, BULLY him downstairs.

>>45440507
Alright, then I change >>45440396 to BULLY him upstairs.

Have anons considered NO bully?

>>45440635
Hello, are you new?

Writing...

>>45440635
I did.

But this sounds fun, and it will probably backfire somehow, so I can't resist it.

>>45440507
Downstairs~ The rearranging sounds fun.

You want to see it.

You want to see the worried, flustered Yomi. You want to see the despair on his face, you want to hear his wails and lamentations as he struggles over the chaos you brought to his once perfect abode.

The best part is that you share some common features with him, and it's not demonic heritage: you also have a tail, and you know the way it bends and twists and turns awkwardly upon itself when someone is worried sick, tremendously concerned or in a panic. Well, he's not really in a panic but he's clearly not liking what he's seeing, even though...

... Seriously, what did you touch in his room? You went to look for a book but most of the stuff you couldn't even open, and you certainly didn't move furniture around. You feel completely innocent as you can't think of anything bad you have done, which makes the situation even better.

"Hey Yomi~", you go as you climb the stairs up to the attic, but can't quite manage to come out as he immediately rushes at you.

"GET THE FUCK OUT!", he commands, pointing down from the top of the stairs and blocking access, "YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH DAMAGE WITH YOUR USELESSNESS, GO PLAGUE SOME OTHER HOUSE!". You can almost peek up his skirt from this position.

"I couldn't help it! I was looking for a book~", you chirp, "About herbs and stuff and-".

"BY THE GREEN FIRES THE TWO OF YOU DON'T MAKE HALF A BRAIN COMBINED!", he sounds incredibly flustered, "SHE LENT THAT BOOK TO THE TEMPLE DID SHE FUCKING FORGET?".

"Oh!", Astreya gasps, eyes wide, "That's true! I forgot!".

"HOW FUCKING SENILE CAN YOU BE YOU FUCKING HAG?", ok, now you can understand his frustration, “YOU GAVE IT TO THEM LAST FUCKING WEEK!”.

“Hehe~ Sorry, I forgot!”, Astreya tries to play her cutesy card, which is kind of awkward coming from someone her age. It does not calm Yomi down in the slightest of course.

>Offer to help him clean.
>Slink back down and rearrange stuff.
>Stop bullying.
>Time to leave.
>Other?

>>45440970
>Slink back down and rearrange stuff.
No brakes on the bully train

>>45440970
>Slink back down and rearrange stuff.
Let's redecorate, Yomi!

>>45440970
>Slink back down and rearrange stuff.

"Sorry, sorry, I'll leave you to your... Stuff", you excuse yourself and quietly slink back downstairs.

You feel yourself possessed by the sudden urge to redecorate Astreya's house. After all, you've been her familiar for one day, you know enough about the interior to make your own, informed choices, and you believe in your good taste well enough to be able to pick a decent enough novelty-

Screw that, you just want to bully Yomi.

You don't do anything big, because otherwise he'd hear you, his pointy ears are there for a reason and if they're half as good as Tahenohan's he can pick up very subtle sounds from very far. You just move a small vase from one corner to another, shift the vacant spaces in the bookshelves from one side to another, slightly rearrange the sofas, turn the table a little... You don't actually move the books, that would be inconvenient for Astreya.

She's trying her darndest to not just burst out into laughter as you move into the kitchen and decide that the knives block doesn't have to stay left of the cutting board but rather right, and that the proper order of tableware is plates, then glasses, then cups. Of course the glasses are stored in the middle, right? Right, everyone knows that.

You think Astreya's trying to mouth you something, whispering so low it's actually difficult to hear her at all above Yomi's cursing, which has shifted to a language you don't know. You think she said "don't bully him too much" but you're not good at reading lips so you can't be sure. You wonder if she ever had the heart to bully him back a bit, considering she must have known of this weakness of his.

You barely have time to close both doors and pretend you've been put the whole time as Yomi starts climbing downstairs, slamming the attic trapdoor closed above him.

>Dear me, look at the time! Leave.
>”You should go get that book back from the temple, she needed it”.
>”So where have you been Yomi?”.
>”What do you even need days off for?”.
>Oher?

>>45441344
>>Dear me, look at the time! Leave.

>>45441344
>>”So where have you been Yomi?”.
>>”What do you even need days off for?”.
Now we play nice and make friends with him.

>>45441344
>”You should go get that book back from the temple, she needed it”.

>>45441344
>Dear me, look at the time! Leave.
Make our cunning escape!

"I leave you alone one fucking day and you get fucked by my substitute which also makes a mess in your house. I swear you're just going to get fucking raped and robbed blind if I were to ever leave you alone, so be grateful I came back. Get it, you saggy-titted landwhale?".

"Yes, sorry", Astreya barely helds back her laughter and can't seem to be able to look at Yomi and keep a straight face. Of course that makes him frown and stare accusingly at you with extreme prejudice.

"What the fuck did you do?", he wonders, "Tell me you didn't knock her up, she's annoying enough on her own, I don't want to have to deal with a brat that's you and her combined. It'd be like taking a cribhouse whore and a malformed inbred, fusing them together, setting them on fire and then letting them loose in a library full of small children".

"You have a very wild imagination but no, that's not going to happen", you look around, he looks around, and then you cunningly slip away, "Dear me, look at the time!", you go as you race for the exit, basking in the warping and cringing on Yomi's face as he realizes you have more or less subtly moved everything around, "I have to go! My homeland needs me!".

"YOU MISBEGOTTEN COCK-WRANGLING WASTE OF TITS!", he shouts as you escape, and you can hear him even well outside Astreya's house, "I WILL PULL YOUR COCK SO HARD IT WILL WRAP AROUND AND THEN I'LL SHOVE IT UP YOUR OWN ASS AND MAKE YOU ENDLESSLY GLOP TWO YEARS WORTH OF SPUNK UNTIL YOU'LL BE SO FULL YOU'LL SPIT IT ALL OUT!".

You think you heard Astreya finally losing it amonst all of the shouting. At least she's sharing your fun as you run headlong to the relative safety of New Royo.

That was some adventure. It's a pity nobody's paying you for what you have accomplished, however.

Still, now that you're free from your obligations...

>Look for your friends.
>Look for Tahenohan.
>Look for Bryld.
>Look for Luna.
>Look for your father.
>Other?

>>45441671

>Look for Tahenohan.
Freeeeedoooom!

>>45441671
>Look for your friends.

>>45441671
>Look for Luna.
Oh man, that was worth it.

>>45441671
>Look for Tahenohan.
>Look for Bryld.
Maybe we'll find them in the same place.

You stop to catch your breath for a moment. The air feels and smells like freedom. Freedom fills your lungs and freedom lies all around you for your eyes to feast on and your mind to wander into.

In all honesty this has been likely the best obligation you've been asked to fulfill in terms of making you comfortable and making it worth your time. Still, now you're free from it and you need to take care of the people that need you the most.

Tahenohan.

You just know you can't leave her alone for long. Or any amount of time, really.

You know she was with you for a good part of your familiarship and that she behaved well enough; she tends to do that with fellow wizards now that you think of it. Still, unless she's with Bryld or your father there will be nobody who can keep some common sense in her head, which means her elven side will break loose and rain nonsense all around her.

Which is why you're kind of surprised to see her inside what seems to be a building still clearly in construction that only has one wooden wall and an elevated wooden floor. There's even a trapdoor for a cellar that still hasn't been built, and then two large, circular alabaster tanks with open tops.

Tahenohan is currently arranging several large, closed jugs of what seems to be milk and preparing charcoal as if to lit fires. When she does notice you, her already manic expression brightens up even more, "Ah! There you are! Right on time, I need you!".

"What for?", you ask, and a voice in your head tells you to watch out.

“I'm going to make cheese!”, she claims with great pride, “What else? There's absolutely nothing else you can make with lots of calcium that would be in my purview, after all! Ahahaha!”, she slaps you on the side of your butt, “Silly Lillith!”.

You are vaguely familiar with the tools and process needed and this seems like a honest cheesemaking facility. So what could she be hiding?

Guess there's only one way to find out.

This is it for Episode 51!

Sorry for the short run. I'll soon switch to wednesdays which should allow me to run a little more comfortably. Hopefully so, at least. Don't worry, I'll do my best to make sure we'll stay regular in our new appointments from now on.

Unfortunately I have to fix dinner and go soon-ish, but I'm still glad I could get this episode done. I really missed running.

>>45442085
We missed you too.

>>45442085
Thanks for running

>>45442085
Thanks for writing MP!
