Give all of the Harpies in Rosa’s group a headpat. Once we’re all done, give them all little smootches for being good girls.

>>2506120
>>Lets continue until the last minute

>>2506148
>>2506130
>>Lets continue until the last minute

"Waaah~" - the petite girls happily line up for headpats
"Alright, let's keep going, alright?"
"Ah, Master, you promised we would change parties now." - Tien - "Can I go with you now?"

The problem is, anyway we shuffle the groups, someone will be left 'out' of her time with us, so, who should we give the short end of the stick

>One of the harpies
>Tien
>Other?

Make them do paper rock scissors to find out. That way it's fair

>make them flip a coin for it, or play rock-paper-scissors.

How does this sound: if the loser doesn’t complain and deals with it in a mature manner, she gets a kiss.

>>2506224
Watch them fight over who gets to lose.
Everyone announcing what they're about to throw
Everyone throwing slooowly with their chosen tool right from the start in plain view, changing it as it go so they get to lose

Is not a bad idea, but maybe we should pick someone and explain "Cant go with you, but you get a kiss" or explain she gets a kiss afterwards?

>>2506120

sorry i just loved the "i'll hug him instead" and the "are they coming back?"

>>2506227
She gets a kiss afterwards. We don’t tell them.

>>2506274
Alright.

***

Our cute pet's eyes are on fire due to their fighting spirit!

""""""I'm going to win!"""""" x6

And so they start the fiercest rock/paper/scissors contest in their lives. Looking at each other in the eyes, using fake starts, and trying to pressure each other into making a first move...

And...

>Tien lost
>A harpy (which one?) lost

Remember we're giving her a kiss, so which one do you want to lose?

>>2506339
>A harpy (which one?) lost
Adrianna. The runt of the litter.

>>2506339
>>A harpy (which one?) lost
Adrianna

>>2506350
>Adrianna. The runt of the litter.

"E-ehh!? I-i lost!" - shye falls down to the floor, sitting with her ankles next to her thighs as she looks down and hiccups

Her sisters can't help but be cheerful, though.

"Ah..." - we pat pat her head, and lift her up.

Even if we weren't particularly strong, she's really light you know? She's built to fly, after all.

"Adrianna, is okay." - we tell to her while her pretty eyes are trembling with tears about to fall - "If you don't cry, you get a kiss, okay?"

"Eeeeeh~!?" - the others stop their celebration
"R-really?" - says out littlest harpy
"Yup."

*sniffs and sucks it in, trying hard to calm down*

"Ah~" - she calms down - "...ok"

>Give her a peck on the lips
>Give her her first adult kiss

(guys avengers infinity war is in 3 hours here so ill be gone soon, jsyk)

>>2506401
>Give her a peck on the lips
She gets an adult kiss when she ranks up.

>>2506454
She already ranked up once, though, and could rank up again but we're holding them all back until they can rank up to mythic (intelligence evo) instead of "just" to the next physical evo.

Anyway, cutesy little kiss, then?

>>2506494
Yes. And I did mean that no adult kiss until mythic intelligence Rank Up.

>>2506401
>Give her a peck on the lips

>>2506516
>>2506512
alright guys, goin to movies, see you later

>>2506575
What you watching?

>>2506693
back, saw avengers, enjoyed the reactions of the movie-only fans when superheroes started dying.

Anyway its 4 am so goin to bed, see you tomorrow guys

We give Adrianna a butterfly kiss, and rub rub her head while she goes 'waaah~' with a fluffy-like feeling on her smile.

Yup, its a cute child's reaction, as you'd expect.

"Aaah, I want a kiss too!"
"Master, kiss~!"
"Kiss, kiss!"
"Uwawawa... I should have thrown rock..."
"Uuuh... I. Wanted a kiss, too!"

Her former teammates are all regretting their luck now. Well, we can't give them a kiss or Adrianna will feel cheated, so let's just pat pat them gently to comfort them.

"There, there, we're going together now, right?"
"""""Yes~""""" - they reply softly while making a slightly pouty face

Well, Tien has seen us do way naughtier things to her mom(s), but it looks like she really wanted a kiss, too.

I guess everything is relative, after all.

***

We head back down, switching places with Adrianna so she goes with our previous group while we go with hers, and continue descendinmg into the dungeon.

Its not too deep a dungeon, so we reach the core room after floor 300. Anyway, it's a city-controlled foodgeon, so its not as if we could just smash the core, anyway.

I wonder if we should fight the boss anyway?

>Sure
>Lets just go back already
>Other

>>2508352
>Sure
Show it whos realy boss

>>2508352
>>Sure

>>2508352
>>Sure

>>2508452
>>2508438
>>2508678
>>Sure

We step into the path to the boss room, and see that it is a thin path over a seemingly bottomless pit, with the dungeon core at the end of the path, floating -under- a pillar hanging from the roof.

Well, neither the harpies nor Tien are the least bit impressed by the bottomless pit, which is only to be expected out of flying creatures.

Big bottomless hole? So what? There's a path right there!

On the other hand, we don't see the boss anywhere...

After we cross half way down the path, though, the path suddenly sprouts arms and attempts to cut us with the blades at the end of those arm.

The arms are twice as large as a human, and grow from anywhere along the path, swinging at us from the weirdest angles.

>Start running back to the entrance
>Fight them off
>Stab at the bridge/path/boss

>>2508873
>>2508869
>>2508777
>>>Stab at the bridge/path/boss

>>2508843
>>Jump off

The bridge trembles and twists upon itself as if curling in pain, and the end lets go of 'the end' to show us the huge head of a centipede, pale white with blaqck eyes.

It shakes, and we realize the ling bridge is just the creature, stretched forth. It does not seem as if it was even a meaningful potion we were standing on, as more and more of the creature starts 'flowing' out of the wall under the door, and we fall out into the abbyss while 'our girls' dive behind us.

>Reach for their hands
>Call Radiant
>Other

>>2508968
>>Call Radiant

>>2508968
>>Call Radiant

>>2508968
>Call Radiant

We turn in mid air and calmly summon our mount. Radiant appears under us, and spreads his wings, gaining altitude, albeit quite restricted in the (for him) small chamber, having to fly in a spiral in order to ascend.

As we look up, though, we watch as Nikita, our [Assassin] harpy, is suddenly marked with a bright, floating red circle with lines pointing towards its center.

"Ah, Master?" - she looks at us confused

>Dive!
>Ascend!
>Other

>>2511682
>Dive!
And roll

>>2511682
supporting >>2511925

>>2511682
>>Dive!

Are we moving to a new thread?

Sorry guys, some friends picked me up and time flew.

***

We call out for Nikita to dive, and she does so just as the centipede(?) lunges at her.

To our horror, the thing chases her no matter what, its huge maws open as it grabs and swallows her whole!

It starts ascending slowly...

>Attack its exposed underside
>Go for the head
>Other

You panic for a moment, but then realize you can still see Nikita's hp/mp bar in the corner of your vision, so she's not dead, though they're both decreasing quickly.

[Paralyzed] appears instead of her name, which means she's under a status effect. It would seem the boss catches prey and deals DoT to it

>>2525935
>Attack its exposed underside

>>2525945

"Hit its belly!" - we cry out as we spur Radiant to charge at it

Our harpies do so, lunging at it with spells, arrows and blades, dealing what looks like a fair amount of damage to it.

It looks like it can't defend itself properly when climbing back up after a dive, as its body is shaped like a U in mid air, but after a few moments it instead whips itself towards the wall and begins crawling up like you'd expect from a bug, hiding its underbelly.

Maybe its more about needing time to move after catching someone.

After a few moments, Nikita simply appears outside the monster, covered in its drool and rather worse for wear. She looks quite confused, and her HP has gone down to 1/2 in that single attack.

Adrianna starts panicking as the 'target' appears on top of her.

>Dive
>Rise
>Other

>>2525987
>Rise
>Other
Attack it to see if we can cause it to lose its attack.

>>2526031
>>2525991
>>Rise
>>Other
>Attack it to see if we can cause it to lose its attack.

"m-MASTER, SAVE ME!" - cries out the petite harpy as she starts flying upwards as per instructions

We tell everyone to attack it to try and interrupt its attack, but despite it seeming to be delayed 1/2 a second each time we hit it, it eventually lunges upwards and swallows Adrianna from below.

Again, her status says [Paralyzed] while her hp and mp bars each drop all the way to 1/2

And once more, the monster itself starts moving in a sluggish manner while we rain attacks on it.

Maybe if we switch from strong one-per-turn blows to small, numerous little hits, we could make it lose its turn?

>Do that
>Stick with what we have. It is going down, albeit slowly
>Other

>>2526204
>Do that

>>2526251

This time, as it marks us, though, we decide to start attacking right away instead of trying to evade.

We start using the [Spellstorm] spell trick Okaba taught us, and turn our single spell into many smaller ones.

Our typical high level spell does 480~ (+300) spell damage. The number that flows over the target's magic resitance becomes damage, but with the spellstorm we instead shoot ten small blasts, each doing 48+300

Thats because our int bonus is +300, and it applies to each spell.

But right now, rather than doing damage, we just want to "hit" it in order to cause it to delay.

That's why, as we fly over, we also use multicast, and spend twice the mana to shoot 20 small proyectiles in quick succession.

As we hoped, each hit pushes it back a little bit, and its "charge stance" eventually breaks, taking away the "target" painted on us with it.

""Master, so mean!"" - Both Adrianna and Nikita complain since we didnt do that when it was their turn

>I'm just trying it out now
>I'll pamper you later
>Other

Now that we know how to break its attack pattern, it just swings and moves normally, and its not that big a challenge, eventually going down.

It drops a [Mythic][Eye of Truestrike] a gem that allows us to nullify a tatget's dodge abilities and guarantee our next hit will be a success.

It can only be used once per round, though, and its single target only.

>Save it
>Sell it
>Use it as materials

>>2526469
>>I'm just trying it out now
>>I'll pamper you later

>Save it

>>2526508

We'll look for an use for it later, though we haven't run into any dodgemonkey right now...

Well, Lyann and Adrianna are both the dodge-type of tank, if you can call them that. Mako too, but we haven't seen any as enemies yet.

Then again, perhaps our accuracy is just high enough we just really don't notice.

Well, since this is a city's foodgeon, we are not going to break the crystal, so let's go back.

They need a bath first, before going to the restaurant.

>>2526707
Well we can just use [Ckean] on them. I meant the huge baths that they love swimming around in. Its practically a pool and they like it because, you know, birdbath.

>>2526716
Do we not have time for both?
If we can only do one, then do the restaurant.

lets continue tomorrow guys. See you, god willing

The site looks super weird to me at the moment. Does it appear normal for you, guys?

***

We use [Clean] on the harpies, and pat pat their heads gently before going out of the dungeon and using [Treestride] to go to the old couple's restaurant.

These little girls are gonna make us bankrupt.

Well, they worked hard, so its probably alright...

"Master, Rosa drank my juice..."
"Uuuh, I'm sorry, I thought it was my cup." - Rosa hands over her own cup
"Isn't it fine? She's giving you her juice as an apology." - we try to calm down the ruffled girl.
"Uuuh.... but it was my juice. This is Rosa's juice."

Uhmm... what should we say about their sense of property? Is it good, or is it bad?

Anyway, we rub their heads and give them each a smooch.

By the time we go back to the ship, it is already our shift, so we go to the deck and replace Grumnir at the helm, then hand over the supplies we got.

We ask him to make some gear for our pets, so our friend looks through the loot again, and comments how he could make 4 harnesses and 2 sting-class weapons.

"I think its amazing how pets are either ranged or melee depending on their skills, even though their weapons look the same." - says Grumnir - "Well, I'll add range enchantments. That should be enough, right?"
"Thank you, I know you'll do a great job, as usual."
"Alright, I'll study the materials for a bit and have them ready by the time your shift ends."

Our friend goes out of the deck, and we are left alone behind the wheel. Of course, Lyann comes over soon, bringing in some snacks and wine.

"Ah, I think its too early for wine."
"Is that so? This is pretty light, though?" - she says as she places the plate on a table. - "How did it go?"
"Got some exp and unique items, but Adrianna and Nikita got chewed up, literally. They're alright now, but unscapable skills are a cheat."

We talk with her about our day, and she patiently listens to us while sitting by our side.

The soft breeze that makes it into the deck plays with her bright red hair, making is waver slightly, and sending her nice scent towards us.

We give her a small kiss, and she smiles as she kisses us back. It is a very peaceful shift
