"Don't worry, I wont do anything to disturb your church... But now you got me curious", I say as my face grows more mischievous "What would you do to.. 'convert' me?"

"..."

Marianne becomes silent as I turn on the heat. She mouths at me, hesitant to talk.

"...lashing," she mumbled. Hiding it under her breath.

I tease her, acting as I didn't hear. "Sorry, Drilly, say again?"

"L-Lashing! Whipped until the skin is drenched in blood or when you comply-- I, didn't want to say after I thought of something...impure. It's, it's shameful. Utterly sinful!"

Marianne looks down, shameful at her words as she puts together her hands near her face. Acting in a girlish way that juxtaposed her appearance; the tall and proud woman now feeble at the heart, a damsel within her core.

"Aah, cute you are when you're whole demeanor changes to a fantasizing girl. I won't tell anybody what you said. Just between the two of us."

"..C-Can we move on then?" Marianne pleaded adorably.

"Very well~ I don't suppose that you can spar with me? I would like to know how to wield a sword as well as you do~"

Again, Marianne's head goes into deviancy, driving her in circles. "I don't understand."

"What don't understand, Drilly? I just want to spar. I think I could use the training. My stamina isn't the best, and it wouldn't hurt to get some martial experience."

I stop hovering over Marianne, letting her get up while she studies me. She was dumfounded; suspicious as I'm proven tricky.

"Sure. T-That'll be good. Will the training grounds do?"

"Hmm...Seems fine but what about the soldiers?"

"They should be out by now," Marianne assured. She goes to the door, freezing before she held the doorknob in a fit of worriment.. Looking back at me she opened it, watchful for anything I did. She sighed in relief, my previous actions taking a toll. "Follow me. I'll lead you down there."

"Great," I said, gathering Cheru and Yoksha. I pulled Fenrir's tail which instantly woke her up. She didn't have time to say anything as I dragged her on the ground.

To escape my rough handling she delve into my shadow. "What was that for, master?!"

"We're going with Drilly for a little spar between us. I also needed to dish out some punishment for being oblivious to your sister."

"Was it really my fault!"

"Yes, yes it was."

"Moo~ Fine!"

>(Cont.)
>>
>>2897643

At the headquarters' training grounds it was only Marianne and my company who were occupying it. I told Cheru to sit at the bench, leaving Yoshka and Fenrir with her for safety reasons. The sun's rays radiate warmth as it's high over the whole building and yard. It was a nice day out.

Stepping into an outline that cut out a decent amount of room on both of our sides, we get ready. Marianne has gone over the rules as this point; stop attacking if the opponent yields or is knocked unconscious, no destructive magic that'll harm the environment or spectators, and if either side crosses outside the white line it's their loss. Very basic.

Before the spar began I pitched a wager.

"Though I wouldn't object to a little bet, winner gets to tell the other to do something?" I say, getting real breathy at the end of my sentence.

"You sure?" Marianne said, taking my offer into account. The moment her eyes lit up was the moment I caught her. "If you lose you can't bail, Nemo."

"I agree. Shall we start?"

"Yes. The winner gets to tell the loser to do something, correct?"

I nod, confirming for her.

"Then it is."

Marianne and I get into a stance. Her sword unsheathed she started counting, my legs itching to move as she got closer to one.

"Three, two, one...GO!"

With a resounding shout she charged in with great speed at me, readying her blade in a unreadable way.

Trying to attempt a dodge and counter-grapple, Marianne feinted a slash and bash me in the stomach. She then followed up with a another punch to the underside of my chin.

It pushed me a ways back without too much damage but I felt it. Not painful but felt it.

While I recovered, Marianne then casts a group of fire arrows. Sending them at my feet without any aim towards me, blasting them with torrent, along with mixing fire creation and water creating. A thick mist was produced in front of me, completely hiding the view of Marianne.

Protecting myself with faint barrier from further magic attacks I use air control to push the mist away, revealing Marianne. Mid dash I just dodged her thrust, kicking her with my knee. I then punch a blow on her shoulder, pushing her a ways back.

Marianne tried to get back in a proper stance but I closed the gap, forcing her to defend my self-restrained blows with shatter and rupture.

During my offensive I switch it up a bit, slightly ducking and parrying a strike from Marianne. It staggers her, leaving her out in the open for me to grab a hold of her body.

I pulled her down, sandwiching her between my legs as she fights back to get me off.

"Having the time of your life down there?" I teased, squishing my legs around Marianne's neck. But before she even gave an answer she tipped her upper body down, doing a somersault that threw me off balance.

"soft," Marianne muttered.

"Louder, Driller."

"It's soft!" Marianne repeated.

"Yield, Drilly?"

Marianne smiled a toothy grin, "No, not yet. I'm still full of energy."

Grabbing my legs she rolls me over alongside her, freeing herself. Marianne then picks up her sword, lowering her arms and tilting the blade back into stance. Casting torrent, she shot out at me, colliding with my barrier.

While my barrier took the brunt of Marianne's torrent, getting weaker by the constant attack, I cast my own as well.

Sprouting from a magic circle, another stream of water fought the opposing one. It was stronger, the pressure ripping through the other's as it goes to Marianne. Thankfully for her, she had enough time to dodge due to the effort against her spell.

"Dear! Could you reach into that bag for me and throw me the tusk?" I said, instructing Cheru. "Please hurry. But take your time, Mommy can wait!"

Not knowing much of what I'm saying, Yoshka pointed at my magic bag beside her using his tail. Cheru opened it, and to her amazement, felt around the void within the bag. She dug into it deeper, and with the help of Fenrir they both found the tusk sword. During the process, Cheru almost fell inside. Fenrir saving her narrowly by grabbing her ears.

"This Mommy?" Cheru says, waving the ebony sword.

"Yes dea-- Woah! That's not nice, Drilly."

Almost hitting me, Marianne gave me a piece of advice, "Look here, Nemo. An opponent who turns their backs are begging to have a blade stuck into them. Common knowledge."

I jump away from her, maintaining the gap between us. With a cute yelp, Cheru threw the sword in my general direction. Catching it, I raised it against Marianne's own.

"Let's see how I fare in swordplay. Never used one before."

Marianne's showed a bewildered face, but reverting back into a deep focus, "You're kidding?"

"Nope~! I don't know how sword work!"

And just like that I took the initiative, lunging at her with blade and blade. I had the upper hand as the tusk was light, allowing me to swing faster. But to Drilly's credit, she immediately went on the defensive, blocking me at every turn.

Sliding my leg forcefully to the side of hers, she trips on the ground while the sword she was handling clanged by her side. Marianne made an attempt to grab it back but I restrained her with horrid grasp. The amount of hands I had to make were many because of her strength that can easily over power just a few, a number of over six just for one arm.

All of her limbs were held down, the hands wrapping around her as she struggles to move.

I climb unto Marianne, placing my knees on her arms as well. Sitting down on her chest, the way I folded my legs made my thighs look thicker, attracting her eyes to them. Stroking her body, I make my hands slowly go up to her face as I feel her skin. She still tries to break free, but it was all futile.

>>
Whilst Marianne's eyes wonder to my legs I tap her on the forehead lightly to get her attention. "Eyes on my mask, Drilly."

She looks up to me but her eyes still take a glance now and then. "I..I yield."

"I think we both knew that, but I on the other hand want to enjoy myself a little more. Good thing the soldiers are out, right~?"

"What?!"

I take off my mask, letting the paralysis set in on Marianne's body. "Side dishes before the feast, as always, Drilly." I lean over, kissing her on the cheeks and progress my way slowly to her lips. And just like the time I was before the mage's guild, I wholeheartedly kiss mouth to mouth. I could hear Marianne's heartbeat drum crazily as I pour my passion in, a tempting honey; a deceptive poison.

Having my fill I pick up myself over her, putting on my mask in which Marianne could move again. I wasn't done there though. I shuffle back into position, knees over arms and hovering over her.

"Now about that bet."

"I-I thought that's what you wanted," Marianne said meekly; the lion now a kitten.

"Why don't you tell me what you would've ask me if you won? Please, spare no details."

At this point she doesn't have the mental endurance to think clearly, and under my submission she told me her plan. "...I wanted to..." she swallows her throat before moving on. "I...wanted you to be my...maid."

"Do elaborate, Drilly."

"I-I was thinking that if I won, I would..have you. A maid that works for my house and...me."

"You give an innocent reply but I hear something more, that isn't what you really want do you?"

Marianne hesitates again, "I..really wanted to--"

"--Aah, I guess we'll save it for later. Now about me~"

The knight sinks her head back, staring at me: my mask, my body, until I give an answer.

Im not hot for poltics, but im not against having some fun at her expense

I want us to make some ridiculously innocent request. Like just asking her if we could go on a date. I understand our character might actually have been a bit of a pervert, and also enjoys the power she gets from making others flustered like this, but does she actually have any genuine romantic experience? How would a genuinr relationship here work?

I don't even know.

I support this after having teased for a while. Something completely harmless while also learning a lot of potentially useful information. Also it creates a bit of the world. Right now all we know is that the demon king is threatening everyone, humans are trading slaves and fight the dk, demi-humans as far as i remember have their own kingdom... But we really don't know all too much

"For now, I'll save it. I haven't thought of anything yet."

Marianne gave rest at me knowing that I have nothing planned for her.

"Could you release me?" she requested. "Our duel has been settled, right?"

I laugh maliciously, putting her short-lived relief to an end. "Yes, I'll let you up but only after you squirm for a bit."

"Huh?!"

Picking up myself up, I dust the dirt off my skirt while Marianne shook herself. As ever, the hands were steady and won't let go from her to which she called to me.

"Wait! At least help me up!"

"I could, I would, but this is much more fun don't you think, Drilly?"

"What part of watching me like this is fun? Could you dispel these hands?"

Again, Marianne tried her best to pick herself up, pushing an arm upwards but coming back down after losing stamina.

Cheru came over to me, leaving Fenrir and Yoshka and passing Marianne without a single thought. And, as she always does for some cute reason, grabbed on to my side. She leaned over from behind me when she wanted to talk, but if that's not the case she hides behind me, warming me heart.

"Are you hurt Mommy?" Cheru said out of concern.

"Mommy's a-okay, dear. How did I fare?"

Cheru shook her head side to side, "Mommy got hit. Cheru's scared."

I giggle, exceedingly different from my laugh towards Marianne. "So that's what you're worry about," patting the top of her head, "Don't worry, Mommy's strong. A few body blows won't take me down."

"Okay, Mommy."

Marianne called me once more, begging for my help.

"P-Please, Nemo. This is getting too cruel."

I stood over Marianne who was waiting for me to do something. Plastered on the ground; looking down on her as she saw my smile under my mask.

"I've heard kisses can remove curses," I implied. "Want for round two, Drilly?"

Not talking back, her face expressed reconsideration. Then, a shy willingness.

"Fine," Marianne said, closing her eyes this time. "Just...get it over with."

Leaning down as she wished, I took off my mask for a quick second. Face to face, she could feel my breath, preparing for another. I didn't kiss her, just stayed like that as time killed her.

Thinking that's enough I put my mask on, releasing Marianne. She was confused; worked up distraughtly as she presented herself willing.

I started to leave the training grounds, gathering up my company. Waving a hand behind me I said good-bye to Marianne, "Excited are you? Well, see you later~"

She sat there, a hand on her chest to feel her heart. Thoroughly anxious, she reflected on herself.

"At least a little peck..." Marianne mumbled to herself without my knowledge. She then went red, "W-What am I saying?! It's impure, impure!"

Leaving the Palad Order's headquarters, me and Cheru was presently wandering the upper district. Yoshka and Fenrir in their usual places.

Looking for that cafe' Marianne took me that one time, I came across its doors with Cheru in hand. It was called "Cradle", as I looked on the polished sign while memorizing where this place was in the area.

The door rang with a silver bell, notifying a host to me. I asked for a table of three to which he gladly gave us. As both us took our seat he then told us that a waiter will be here shortly.

"Fen, take a seat, please," calling for her.

Fenrir's head peeked out from under the table. "Why, master?"

"Just so things feel complete. Nothing more to ask if I have two daughters with me," I sweetly said. "Come, Fen."

She just shrugged, crawling out of the table's shade. Fenrir didn't calculate the height of the woodwork, and with an audible bang she bumped the top of her head.. Eyes fled to our direction; a bunny demi-human and a woman wearing a mask. The people here in the cafe' soon turn face, ignoring us until further disturbance. Or maybe the hope that we'll leave faster. Their faces held a myriad of emotions, some of disgust while others chuckled at the foolish commoner. Either way, we stuck out as a sore thumb.

Fenrir made it into her seat at the same time the waiter came to the table. She took a gander at the bunny and wolf before remembering to do her job, taking our orders.

"Welcome, what would you like?" the female waiter greeted, a few seconds late.

I stared at the menu, browsing the choices. The portions are pretty huge when looking at the other tables so sharing it will offer enough for the four-ish of us.

> "Cake. Chocolate cake."
> "The honey glazed ham sandwiches."
> "The Upian fish salad."

"The honey-glazed ham sandwiches and a small plate of the fish salad, please."

"Okay, would you want anything drink?"

"Water is just fine."

"Good then. Your order will come shortly," the waiter said before leaving us, going to the kitchen.

During the wait we had each other's company. Cheru, who showed no emotion, looked around herself. Observing the clean linens and the luxury decorations. Fenrir however seemed offset at the moment, her nose twinging along with a twitch of her ear.

"Is something the matter, sister?" Yoshka asked her. "You seem wrong. You weren't like this a short second ago."

"I smell an elf," she says with a silent anger. "Not here but somewhere close by."

"Oh yes, you hate elves right? You told me that when we first met."

"If I wasn't stupider I would've chased to their territory or kingdom whatever for vengeance. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth that meat can't take away, master."

Yoshka elongated himself closer to Fenrir until his coils was only twice around my horn. "What is an elf doing here anyway. Could you tell us where he or she is?"

"Mommy," Cheru said, grabbing my attention. "What's an elf?"

"I don't know, dear. Your sister is much more knowledgeable about them. What I do know is that they have pointy ears."

Cheru turns to Fenrir who's still in a heated state, "What's an elf?"

"An elf looks like a human," Fenrir pointed, showing the people in the cafe' as an example. "Unlike humans though, they're a bit more slim. And as master said, they have pointed ears. Their appearances aren't the important part, sister. It's the arrogant expression they carry around with them."

I look out the window, spectating the passersby. "Speaking of elves, do you know where they are? Like Yoksha said."

Yoksha recoiled, "Yeah, still wondering, sister."

"Hold on, I can smell the elf but not know where it is. I just know that it's somewhere near."

Still gazing outside I admire the expertly crafted stonework of the buildings and statues. Neat and finely carved to a satisfying ratio.

In the streets were horses that carried highly valuable goods such as glassware and items from lands outside of the country. This place reflected its populace: the wealthy, the powerful, and ones of good connections. As noble as it was, it was full of color. A color that drowns out the grey from Earth.

The thought was ruined as I saw an elf walking along, long and slender as Fenrir described, the iconic pointed ears poking through her hair. She was well-dressed in a green garment and skirt that complimented her blonde hair.

Next to her was a person I didn't expect. Reigniting like a random forest fire, hostility grew towards the person. A petty hostility, only fueled by an old anger. It was Kita Ruijji beside her.

Of course I can be wrong since we have yet to confirm that he has not done the same with the rest. But it's nice to hope.

"Cheru dear, mind sitting on mommy's lap? I need a bit of love to calm down," I beckoned.

Pushing off of her seat she came to me, setting herself on me as I hug her for comfort. Cheru doesn't know why I asked for this but she didn't mind nor cared. We both only desired each other which put my heart at rest.

d*mn dude. We really need to get something like danger sense some time soon. That seems useful as fuck given we always roll bad in random encounters. Also, H*CK that dude is better than us in literally everything other than strength. We need to go out and just murder kill sh*t. WE NEED to go to the adventurer's guild and pick up the hardest sh*t we can find. Maybe that goblin cleanse thing we saw earlier and just dump all our points into attributes.

>>
>>2900942
We hate him because he was a lazy unmotivated git. Who apparently really dreamed and wished to be isekai'ed into another world where he has super cool powers and have slaves and shit.

The first part of him being lazy and unmotivated doesn't bother me much personally. It's the second bit with being a super fan of isekai crap and having slave magic that gets my goat. Imagine you have the power to force anyone to be your slave through shenanigan powers and he absolutely loves the idea.
>>
>>2900942
yeah one other thing, we need, like, to know how to get danger sense too. that seems important. Since we can steal it but I don't think we can keep anything we steal indefinitely, though the pastebin seems to be ambiguous with how it defines the skill since we could technically just steal all his abilities and powers and keep them forever.
>>
>>2900947
Well, live and learn. We'll know now and we can brush it off by saying we were curious about so we sent a luck toggle hex on him. Heads, he would trip on his feet. It landed on tails so he didn't.
A harmless prank.
>>
>>2900947
All I'm hearing from this post is "Cops are already onto us, fucking go loud and steal as much shit as possible."

>>2900950
There's also the fact that his titles give him away as a wannabe casanova, combine that with the fact that his main god gift is the instant enslave skill and being a lazy jackass pretty much all but confirms that he's the type of person whom left to his own devices will immediately become a sort of degenerative tyrant akin to Caligula when the whole shine and "glory" of being in another world wears off.

>>
>>2900966
If we can steal skills from him though... doesn't that mean he could enslave us?
I think we need to make ourselves a unique hex. Let's call 'contract negotiation', it sort of modifies his power since I doubt we can negate it. He has to negotiate his enslavement power, and if he refuses it nulls and voids his ability on us. He could try again but he has to agree to negotiate and we can refuse it.

I like this idea a lot. We really don't wanna be a slave to this guy.

So far our 5 heroes is
Hana Kotomine (Wants to go home badly)
Kita Ruiji (Lazy git who wants to stay)
Aiko Jakimura (heroic type doesn't want to go home)
Yuukito Homura (heroic type doesn't want to go home)
???? Hanazawa (have no idea what her first name is, also doesn't want to go home)

So I guess our hated Sakata Shiru died... or has been empowered but ended up with the demon lord. We will crush our hated bully one day.

"You didn't do anything bad, dear. I just seen something...undesirable for you, me, and your siblings," I said, hugging her body as she gets enveloped by me.

Cheru tilts her head, unaware of Ruiji's skill. God-- or Alia? Whatever. God knows what'll happen if he affected her. I can't risk to break her fragile mind. That leads to the question: what do I do right now? Stay, leave?

I look back at the window meticulously, both the elf girl and Ruiji stopped in their tracks. The elf girl looked taken aback when Ruiji told her something, hiding her surprise.

I stay, deciding not to alarm us. Ruiji hasn't moved but is talking to the elf girl.

The waiter came with our food, setting it on the table, "Sorry for the wait ma'am, here's your food."

Fenrir dug in immediately, taking a few sandwiches for herself as she munched on them with a ravenous maw.

"Sweet!" she said with her mouthful. "It's meet but sweet!"

Yoshka takes a sandwich for himself, going on the table. "It's good. Not one for they taste of honey; I rather have blood glazed on the meat."

"Whatever you say chef," the wolf girl told Yoshka dubiously.

Cheru was delightfully eating the fish salad while in my lap. Her eyes twinklings as she hadn't ate anything this good before since last night.

I myself dared not to take one of the sandwiches. Ruiji's presence is overbearing and losing sight of him may be inimical.

Ruiji inspect the area around himself as does the elf. He then looks at my table through the window. At that moment, time stopped for me. What was he gonna do? Appraise me? I have a hex to counter that. Enter the cafe'? I doubt he'll want to make a commotion.

My mind panicked like a certain knight, watching his every move-- his every glance at the window.

And then he left, checking behind him now and then as he stared at me, Cheru, and Fenrir.

What bothered me was that he payed more attention to Cheru and Fen. Something in the back of my mind that was foreboding.

"Mommy? Not going to eat?" Cheru voiced, snapping me back into the present.

"Oh, uh, sorry dear," picking a sandwich from the already barren plate. "I was thinking too hard."

As I was gonna take a bite, Cheru held down my hand. "Cheru wants to feed Mommy."

I blinked once or twice before a smile melted on me. "Sure, dear," giving the sandwich to her.

She held it up with both of her hands, presenting it to me as I take a bite at a time. Finishing it, she hugged me shyly.

In response I petted her head, forgetting the anger and worry I have wrought on myself.

--------------------

Out of the cafe', we went towards the mage's store. This time, Fenrir stayed out for herself; her time within the cafe' grew her comfortable within the environment. There no sign of Ruiji or the elf, putting an end to my internal episode.

At the mage's guild, I ringed the receptionist for Wilbur. He came a while after, explaining that his duties got into the way but was happy to see me.

We moved from the central lobby and into the hall, entering an office. Each of us took a seat, Wilbur taking the one behind the professional desk.

"It's good to see you after a time," Wilbur greeted. "May I know why you've rung me? And who are those cute demi-humans of yours? I'm quite piqued."

I'll bet the reason he was looking more at Cheru and Fen was because they didn't have the hex that protected them from Appraise and thus was reading as much as he could from them.

The game is afoot, the hunters will know of our existence through our family and thus might come after them.

I actually foreseen that and I was waiting for the moment to practice magic again the give them that hex, now this might be too late.
>>
>>2901160
>>2901170
learning to teach is a good idea.
>>
>>2901167
Next time we get a chance to practice magic i'm definitely voting to try and create something to prevent or weaken his slave magic.
>>
>>2901174
Technically it might not since we can still give them a more modified version of the hex that will hide anything new after the hex was implanted.
So that way they don't see anything new any time they try to appraise them.
>>
>>2901174
>>2901181
I will point out that it would be a extremely good idea for us to give all our family members the ability to essentially emergency teleport away from an area they might be currently in.
That way if Cheru or Fen get cornered they can still cheese it.
>>
We should appraise his slave ability, knowing is half the battle. Auto aim? Does it require touch? Can it be resisted? Does it have limits?
>>
On the other hand, i think our best defence against the heroes is being one of the good guys
>>
>>2901241
Or being a smiling harmless backstabber

get anti appraise and enslave hex, act slaved, then backstab
>>
So our goals in protecting ourself and our family from the others are:
1) make hexes to protect against tge slave magic most importantly
2) in our free time do some quests to raise our stats and learn new skills. Wouldn't want to be beaten
3) if possible learn a spell/make a hex that lets us and our family not only teleport to each other, but also generally out of a fight
4) optionally make a hex like the one fuuma already has for ren and cheru, though less effective now that they've probably already been appraised
>>
Is hex a divine ability? I think it is. Im not sure it can defend vs slave thing though
>>
>>2901241
>>2901244
Either way we should TRY to get along with or avoid them. Judging by our character so far though the getting along part will be... difficult, to say the least
>>
>>2901247
>>2901253
It's not, but man, what we can learn about this is that we have to max hex, so quest is the only way.
>>
>>2901253
Hex is a basic Dark Spell that can be acquired with Level 1 Dark Magic.
It's basic limits (more or less) are how many things we can put into a single hex and how strong the caster is.

>>2901241
>i think our best defense against the heroes is being one of the good guys
That's going to be easy on paper, hard in practice due to their personalities potentially going to go out of whack due to how the Titles work and how their powers may be abused.
The real question is not what but who will stop them. Since the Chosen 6 are basically godsent, have easily abusable abilities, but also still have their original personalities (which are basically bottom tier gutter trash for the most part or utterly mundane in that they have weak wills to not abuse their newfound station since they were pretty much randomly grabbed on what was basically a lark). Which will lead into a "Who watches the Watchmen?" situation. Because I'll bet that as this quest goes own, each of the six will start to acquire more and more titles which will fuck with their minds and personalities on a functional and moral level, which can end up making them be worse than the Demon Lord.
>>
Was there ever a stated reason for slavery just being an okay thing to do?
>>
If hex is a just dark spell, i dont believe it will work well against a divine ability.. Maybe if our magic stat is way higher than theirs?

I think we should act the good guy, but try to about the heroes - as an outcast we wont get along with them anyway

For starters, i say we need more exp

>>2901302
Prolly just a cultural thing

Is it meta to try and just be civil to Ruiji, since Fuuma seems to have an innate dislike of him?
>>
>>2901323
No, she knew the other heroes from before, she knows what she thinks of them, and she knows they are powerful. It makes a lot if sense to be careful
>>
>>2901302
Normally slavery needs a reason to NOT be an okay thing to do.

"My children. Adorable aren't they?" I say with pride.

"I didn't know you were mother. You look younger than one, hoho!" Wilbur laughed.

"Anyways, I came to tell you that I'm gonna work at Lionheart."

Wilbur's expression changed from jolly to a deep interest. "Hmm? Did you go there yourself? I certainly don't remember introducing you. Or maybe I did, I am getting old."

"No, I...Had an opportunity to teach there. Couldn't pass up the offer for a better job except for adventuring. Also need to support my kids of mine."

The old man scratched his beard. "I agree. A mother needs to care for their child someway or another. Working at the academy will give you a stable pay for your family. Two platinum coins after a month." Wilbur then coughed, his age taking affect. "Well, is there anything you want to tell me? I know you are not here just to give me news, you aren't that type of person I assume."

A weird creeping feeling latched onto the back of my mind, making me turn around behind me. Once, twice, I stayed watch, but faced back to WIlbur after my nerves were sedated.

"Please forgive me. I felt something off."

"It's okay. Resume, you were going to say something, no?"

I nod, "Would you mind teaching me a thing or two about teaching?"

"How so? In the context of giving lessons?"

"Yeah. As you can see for myself, I'm not experienced so."

"Advice? I can give you some pointers. What do you want to know?"

So what the heck was that? I suppose we should check ourselves over later on. I wonder if Ruiji managed to get through our hex since he has a higher mana rating.
Or perhaps he tried and failed, got interested and tried to enslave us but failed.

"How are the students there?"

"Ah, the students, I told you little about them the last time you were here. The school is for nobles and wealthy houses so you should expect a little confrontation there; the children don't take lightly to those of a lower class teaching them, even if they're skilled in their own arts. Anything else to know, Nemo?" Wilbur added.

"I suppose you can tell me about teaching itself. Do I just give a lecture? I'm becoming a magic combat instructor there so I don't think that's plausible."

"It depends. Combat as a subject, from what I remember at my time there, was taught through real-time duels, practices, and such between students that was coordinated by the teacher; even at times, the teacher would ask a student to fight him or her. Ultimately, it's your decision on how you make them learn. Does make for a good excuse to put the young'un's behavior into shape too," Wilbur joked.

Listening to Wilbur, the feeling was still stuck at the back of my head. It was overbearing; fearing not for myself but Cheru and Fen. I appraised them on reflex, the paranoia commanding me.

Inside the mage's guild library, I took refuge within the archaic aisles. Cheru explored the dusty shelves nearby, reading the backbone of the books but not pulling one out.

Appraising myself, I too saw that I was being tracked. The same text shown under my ailments heading.

Cheru herself didn't know what it meant but sensed something bad, huddling closer to me for comfort.

It's hard to determine. He was a stereotypical lazy harem protagonist type at our school but still somehow popular without putting that much effort in. Now in this world, he's still the same and has powers that are just super sketchy. In the vast majority isekai plots with similar protagonists and powers, the protagonists are extremely unpleasant or incredibly questionable despite authors and mangakas trying to shill the protag guy as super awesome and does nothing wrong ever. The resulting mess of a story is almost always X-rated and never pg13 in movie terms.
As a result, I am inherently wary of someone running around with enslaving powers. And let me tell you, there are a lot of terrible isekai plots in Japanese that have never been translated and I sincerely hope they never see the light of translation because they are the self insert fantasies of young Japanese men who don't realize that there are bucketloads of unfortunate implications in their writings.

Also remember, we're not exactly a nice girl or a saint ourselves.
We were one of those pushover types who never really pushed themselves out of depression, indolence and lack of confidence. Apparently one wracked with jealousy for more popular and active students because we wanted what they had but was too much of a pussy and coward to just try due to fear of failure or social anxiety.
Her terrible personality (and of course, the interpretation and decisions of players such as our selves) is coloring the perception of this guy.

Wow, we're going to end up like the Nameless One if we keep up the tattooing/hexing on ourselves bit. We should probably work on getting innate immunities to avoid making our entire body a canvas.

Ready with all the precautions against Ruiji, I told them plan. I'm going to go outside and use myself as bait to confront him and the elf. Possibly intentionally wander somewhere so the general populace won't see us if a fight breaks out. Of course, Yoksha and Fen met me with concern, but Cheru was of panic.

Cheru latched onto me like she always do with a saddened pout. "Don't go mommy. Cheru doesn't want you to get hurt. Please don't go! Please, please!"

>>2902728

>>
I wonder, how does emancipation work in this world? Right now, Cheru is still in slave status. Does that mean if we bite it, she is rendered as property to be disposed of at the state's pleasure (which might be execution)?
>>
>>2902742
>>2902744
>>2902748

Crouching down, i hugged Cheru calmly, "Cheru... If I don't do this, then more people might get hurt. You as well. And I don't want you to get hurt because of the actions of others. Especially mine if the people I am about to meet want to hurt you." I then kissed her on the forehead, "Don't worry, dear. If anything happens I can come back to you with my necklace, just trust your mommy"

Cheru looked down on the corresponding lock that hung around her neck, pondering.

"Please, promise," the bunny said. "Mommy will come back...right?"

With a warm voice, I agreed. "I promise, dear. Forever together, like you've said."

We hugged for some time, parting as I'm ready to take leave. I checked my status again to see if I'm still being tracked; still there. Closing the window, I thought about who was going to stay and watch over Cheru for the time.

> Leave Fenrir with Cheru

> Leave both Yoksha and Fenrr

>>2902785

We should probably leave/make some clothes for him.
>>
>>2902813
I think his human form had clothes on already because we crit that cast of hex?
>>
>>2902654
we already hexed ourselves not to be appraised back then before tracking Cheru
>>
>>2902833
Good thing too because our name would have outed us the moment someone clapped Appraisal on us.

Also, do we need to confront him right now? can't we try to just get the tracking spirit on someone else and let him go on a merry goosechase instead?
>>
>>2902785
>Leave both Yoksha and Fenrr
>>
>>2902836
"Confront" doesn't have to mean "fight."
>>
>>2902794

"Yoksha, Fen, stay with Cheru, please. Brothers and sisters should stay together."

"Aye" said Yoksha, turning into his human form. "Wish you luck, master."

Fen was upset at my command but couldn't disobey. "Fine. Make sure to beat that elf up for me."

"Sure, if things force my hand."

"Yeah, yeah. Just leave sister to us, master."

"Thanks, Fen," I say, starting towards the door. "I'll be back soon. Wait for me, dear."

"bye, Mommy," called the bunny girl, meek in speech.

--------------------

Back outside, I start walking on my lonesome to get some distance from the guild. Chances are that Ruiji will come to me if I go somewhere secluded; I can feel it. I put on the silver ring and hid the ghostly knife under my coat. That's all I have on me, say for shatter and rupture which is braced on me presently. I left my bag with the kids so I it wouldn't get in the way or be damaged.

With a plan outlined I start to single myself out, heading into the backstreets of the upper district. They were cleaner than the ones at the lower district, weirdly well kept for a barren place even for the time of day. This place was perfect.

Cruising down the empty path, my hex forewarned a projectile. Quickly, I dodged to the side, an arrow flinging across the air that punctured the pavement. The arrows itself then started to dissipate like magic, leaving no trace but the site of damage within the stone.

A person dropped from above the roof, catching me off guard, grabbing my arms behind me leaving me restrained. Ironic, this was suppose to be Marianne's position!

Within the light, the identity of the person was clear - it was the elf girl who was with Ruiji.

"Got her, master!" she yelled, a very, very familiar face running to where we were.

"Good job, Ellina," the young man complimented. "Now, that we've got you, I'd like to ask a couple of questions."

Recognizing someone you didn't know well by voice, through a mask, is pretty unlikely though.
>>
>>2902957
That wasn’t an attack to damage, my dog, it was to get us to move so we could be grabbed
>>
>>2902983
Of course, my cat, whatever you say.
>>
>>2902968
Yeah, but I'm also curious. We know the Demon Lord's army is going through Queen Titania's forest and she's a general. Are the elves under her rule and also working for the Demon Lord? Will things get more shit if we release her? Chances are, it might just be only a small minority, but I don't have a clue.
>>
>>2902986
Good point, in that case if a fight does come to pass just stealing empowering connection should be enough, at least until we figure out whether the elf princess is indeed working with the Demon Lord.
>>
>>2902986
There's always the possibility that she's allowing him to go through her lands as a way of saying "fuck you and the horse you rode in on" to the people that have enslaved her daughter.
>>
>>2902964
> "Nemo."

>[Slave of the Collar Hero] [ Second Princess of Sylvanus]
Got a feeling this is may be why the elf queen is allied with the demon lord.

On a side note, we forgot to appraise Yoshka for spirit tracking
>>
>>2902994
I think Yoshka was hidden/small at the time but if we get a chance we should check, yeah. Good catch.
>>
>>2902992
We would have to steal it from him cause he has the skill. Plus, it says any target and grows from bond, so it would be great for our family.
>>2902993
That is also another possibility. Probably has a deal with them to get her daughter back.

Also, just checked last thread, yep, Titania is the elf queen and Sylvanus is her kingdom so we have a choice. We can either kill her, or we send her back and get Titania to cut off with the Demon Lord, thus denying them another ally if that's what the deal is.
>>
>>2903003

Its that or the elf queen was allied with the demon lord anyways and this is a captive.
>>
>>2903008
It's a very pathetic captive, since she's still technically supporting the Demon Lord and shows no real signs of stopping.

"Nemo," I gave out, saying no more.

"Okay, Nemo. You're pretty strong. Tell me, what did you do to block appraise? There's barely anything if not nothing that can block the skill."

Again, I didn't say anything. Ruiji saw this, through the dense rock that is his head, and gave me a choice.

"You know, if you don't cooperate then I'll have to put a seal on you."

"Master, I think that's a bit too much," Ellina thought. "You can't just make people slaves all willy-nilly."

"Well, how else is she gonna talk? I can just command her once I put her under control," says to the elf. "C'mon, don't make things troublesome for the both of us."

"Answer my question first. Why did you enslave the princess?"

Ruiji didn't show any different emotion then apathy but Ellina behind me blurted out something key.

"H-How did you know?!" the elf said, silencing herself when she realized her mistake. "S-Sorry, Master"

"It's okay, Ellina," Ruiji assured. "All I'll say to you about that is that me and Ellina met each other when she was running away."

"Running away from where exactly?" I furthered.

"I won't tell. Maybe I will if I enslave you, but it's your turn to talk."

"Tch, anti-scrying artifacts are rare but not that rare. On a side note, being an incult and a moron aren't a good enough reason to aggress people."

"That's a lie," Ruji stated.

"You're wrong," Ellina interjected. "I owe a great debt to master. He isn't like that!"

Ruiji puts a hand under his chin as a interrogative gesture, looking me from top to bottom. "Prey's Guise, huh. Looks like I can analyze the stuff on you but not you yourself." He then puts his hands behind his head lazily, "You know, you sound awfully familiar...Mind if I take that mask off?"

He's either going to listen to his danger sense and leave it on or ignore it and take it off.

Taking off my mask he revealed my face, staring back at him with the hate I could muster. Ruiji himself was bewildered, his face showing a some emotion for once then just tiredness.

"Wait, you're that girl form the back of the class! Nagata? Nagamo?"

"It's Nagaro, dunce," insulting him, smiling sinisterly.

Ruji's eyes lit up, destroying his train of thought. "Ellina, push her down to the ground!"

On command, the elf chick slammed down to block my evil eye. I break free from her grip, not without getting my head slammed.

Pushing her off I then step back. But the time my vision cleared, Ruiji and Ellina disappeared from view.

My hex ticked, causing me to dodge a flurry of arrows in reflex that came from above. I snapped my neck towards the general direction only to get a second's glance of the elf's blonde hair going into cover from the roofftops.

"There was suppose to be six heroes that were summoned, Kotomine told us about that," Ruiji said above. "You should come with the rest."

Yeah, from slavery. But the name of the buff ability is called Empowering Connection. The wording makes it seem like a soul-link type thing but I'm just guessing.
>>2903207
I honestly think we shouldn't try to fight him at all. We could lose and become a slave, we could battle to a tie and then have an increasingly powerful enemy to deal with. Or we maybe we kill him but the gods get pissed and punish us for it.
>>
>>2903209
M8, no amount of trying to not fight is not changing the fact that the're still chucking shit at us.
>>
>>2903209
The nothing to gain everything to lose dilemma huh? I think we should at least convince/do enough to him to make it just not worth the trouble to come after us. That should be our goal here. Still need to fight since he's only been in the interrogate and attacking mood./
Plus our character really doesn't like him so she's not going to try to make nice either.
>>
>>2903209
Hex of obedience, paralysis poison, stunning noises and flashes, we don't have to kill him to fight and win.
>>
>>2903212
Which is why my write-in is asking why he's telling us to join WHILE shooting shit at us.
>>
>>2903214
We don't have to like him, we just have to get him to agree to a truce.
>>2903215
Defeating him non-lethally leaves an enemy, with a grudge against us.
>>
>>2903216
It's because he's dumb in that regard and has to rely on his danger sense and slaves to keep his ass out of the fire.

>>2903178

"If you want me to join then why are trying to fucking attack me?!" I shouted back. ”Summoned? Well I wasn't! Not like I have control over my own decision when we all died at the whims of a god!."

"I didn't expect you to be from the class. I don't know why you're so heated either, the others didn't make it but that's because they couldn't handle the divinity."

Crack

Those moment he told me that something...broke inside. It sounded sharp, like glass breaking. The fire...the screams...the pain when Yaldabaoth gave me powers....

The problem is that he's already been forceful in getting what he wants, I mean tracking someone, attacking them, and restraining them the moment they are alone to ask them who they are and why he can't appraise them. Does that sound like someone you can form some sort of mutual truce with?
That plus the fact our character isn't going to try very hard to get him to see reason and I don't see us forming a truce with him.
He really doesn't seem like he gives a shit about others.
>>2903220
And now we're auto chasing him because our character hates him so my point is proven to an extent that it doesn't matter what we the players want to reasonably settle things without conflict.

"KehahahaHAHAHA!"

I laughed. Laughed because of how worthless of a human being is and how I am too. Everything in the past rushed past my eyes, not in a near-death experience but a recollection: My childhood, school-life, and here.

The others that were summoned with him may garner a different attitude from me but not Kita Ruiji.

Jumping up to the rooftop I gave chase to Ruiji and Ellina. I focused on keeping them in my view to paralyze them but they keep moving and taking cover. Rooftop to rooftop, alleyway to alleyway I chased while they shot at me with spells.

I followed them until I was in close view of the palace's wall; another backstreet. They were hiding somewhere but I don't know where.

"Combustion!"
"Root Spear!"


Out of nowhere, a massive sharpened root came out of the ground at me. I dodged it easily enough but I ran into the combustion blast, throwing me into a wall.

I felt Ruiji's spell. Out of all my time here he caused me mortal pain that I could feel. The heat and the magic power equivalent to mine. Checking myself, my clothes were singed with black spotting me all over. There was even a few burns on my skin.

Groaning, I drag myself to cover while arrows ripped through the air. I was still fast enough to dodge them, enabling me to hide behind a narrow alley. Hastily, I healed myself, then purified to get rid of the tracking on me.

The battle isn't in my favor. As I thought that I heard footsteps running down my direction. Grabbing the key necklace around my neck I teleported away, ending the confrontation.

I was back at the library, Yoksha and Fen in awe by my sudden appearance. Cheru flew at me, delivering me a rejuvenating glomp.

"What happened, master!" Yoksha came, still in his human form. "Where did the singes came from?"

Fen, joined along, "Dammit elves. Looks like you got into trouble."

"I-I'm fine," I said. "It was a bit rough."

My attention was taken by Cheru, returning her love as she gave to me. The cold, office air of the library cooled the burns as well as my little bunny girl.

I was sleepy. Tired. Felt like I'm going to black out.

"Mommy, are you okay?" Cheru says upon my drained complexion.

>>2903322
Agreed. We need a mix of physical and magical skills, and it seems physical skills only develop the old-fashioned way rather than being bought with xp.
>>
>>2903326
Something to note is that while a person can attack with two different types of damage their is only one defense stat that covers both. So pure damage against him that focuses on defense isn't the way to go. Taking advantage of his weaker strength and agility to toss him around with our attacks would be best, but given that he's a slave user he'd have people to cover him that way. So estoric means are the way to go, at least until he begins focusing on resistances to things like that.

So in short, we better make damn sure that our plans will put him in the grave in one go and fast.

Double-checking that Yoksha wasn't affected with spirit tracking, my conscious then started to drift.

"Why?" Yoksha questioned. But at that moment, I blacked out.

As if I was in a cave, the faint plead of Cheru echoed in the blackness. I was sinking, letting my body rest and forgetting everything for the moment. My mind was weary, fading in and out between sleep. It was a comfortable limbo, calling my already closed eyes to fall. Just the darkness, the faint sounds of the outside, and my breathing...

"Forever and ever Cheru. I won't forget~ Mommy's just tired.

Side-story
Nariko Hanazawa's POV


Training in the private area of the palace, I had a duel against Jakimura. No matter how much I tried to strike, counter-strike, parry, or feint, she would always come back with a maneuver that would put me in a bad position.

"You've improved, Hanazawa. Faster than last time!" Jakimura complimented.

Undeterred, I remain constant in my assault, "Just goes to show how much I'm catching up!"

"Yeah. At this pace, we'll defeat the demon king! Fight on!"

When we were all summoned, my initial thought was to get back home. Kotomine felt that way as well, and up till now she holed herself into the library, researching a way back to Earth. She was more determined that any of us, not getting out of that place unless for food or when we were in need

My outlook on the whole situation changed however when Homura took the reigns and became the leader of our party. The Heroes party. Since then, battle after battle against the demon king's army was a win, and my want to go back home disappeared. Now I'm staying here to fight for Pildadium and humanity. As for going back home, I still want to. But I feel like helping the people here is more important right now; though that may be Homura's influence.

Jakimura dodged my sword strike, punting her blade against mine to throw it aside. I tried to move my hand but I wasn't fast enough, tripping myself in the process.

She gave a hand to me, pulling me up from the ground. "Good job! Almost got me."

I laughed awkwardly, "Next time I'll beat you for sure."

Aiko Jakimura was beauty. Even here or at class she would leave the men breathless, getting one confession to another. Nonetheless, she turned them all down, saying 'I'm waiting for the one I truly love'. On paper, it sounds cheesy but she's genuine.

"Hey, isn't that Ruiji?" Jakimura says while looking at the opposite direction. "Ruiji, Ellina, did something happen?"

>(Cont.)
>>
>>2903336

"Master and I encountered a person who proved difficult. We got into a fight but eventually lost her," spoke Ellina while we came up to them.

"Did Ruiji do something stupid again?" I said undirectly towards him. "Those eyes must've been ogling at a woman. Must've lost as well."

"I guess you can say that," Ruiji said, scratching the back of his head. He then asked us of something that Kotomine told us yesterday. "Kotomine did say that there was suppose to be six heroes here?"

"That's right," Jakimura confirmed.

Ruiji went quiet for a second, unlike him.

"...Do you know a girl named Nagaro?"

Nagoro? Ah, isn't it that girl from the back of the class? Barely remembered her since she rarely spoke. She had long hair, longer than Jakimura's even which was a little disheveled; her appearance was pretty attractive in my book but she would never "use" it you know? Always wore a long skirt and stuff, different from the short skirts most of the girls had.

Jakimura thought about it, perplexed, "Nagaro? No, I don't think so."

"I know her-- well, remember her. Fuuma Nagaro is her full name," I interjected.

"Wow, didn't think you would know."

"What do you mean by that!" I said angrily.

"Calm down. Anyway, the person Ellina mentioned that we fought was her. She wore this cloak made out of a bear and a weird mask."

"So you mean that the sixth hero was her? No, scratch that, was it even her?" I told Ruiji.

"There was no doubt about it. i remember her face since her quietness left a lasting impression. Some of our classmates even joked about her being a ghost."

"I get why you're telling us but you seem to be thinking of something else," guessed Jakimura.

"Well, to continue on, it was like she was a different person. Her eyes were full of life - the bad kind I suppose. She even laughed maniacally. And the way she spoke was pretty beguiling too, like she was playing around."

"That sounds way too different than Fuuma Nagaro, are you sure it was someone else?" I refuted.

"It really was her. Ain't lying," Ruiji reassured.

"If what Ruiji said was true then we need to tell everyone else about it," Jakimura suggested.

The rest of us agreed as well, Ellina speaking up, "Master had complication appraising her, like something blocking it."

"A power maybe?" I said.

"Maybe. But we'll need to follow what Jakimura said. Nagaro may be dangerous on her own and might need multiple of us to take her down."

"Well what are we waiting for, let's go!" I pushed. "Maybe Kotomine will know more."

Gonna sleep, feel free to talk and stuff.

Wretched wastes of life.
What is there to be said?

With that We will need to devlop anti-scrying magic that is NOT hex based. We're relying too much on it like a crutch.
>>
Also, we need to create a memory sphere that will store our memories of the event in the case of needing to convince someone about the Six.
>>
>>2903352
I think we should double down and max out dark magic. JOAT build is not going to work when we inevitably go in 1v5 mode.
>>
Events were too much after all. But if we gotta do something is train and not only us, but Yoshka, Fenrir and Cheru (even if is a little).
>>
>>2903357
Nothing would not work was because we got assfucked by the dice. Only barely saved by a crit success at the end.
So no, you cannot put this on the whole Jack of all Trades thing because of shit rolling.
>>
>>2903358
I will agree with this until I drop dead.
It's also leading to the question of whether or not we can level them up as well and whether or not they also have their own EXP pools.
>>
Christ, why can't this guy Ruiji sucks.
I guess exile is coming up. They're probably going to attack us. If that should happen, we should just run. Maybe kidnap the princess and sever the magic slave connection to let her go free as the last thing we do when we leave.
>>
>>2903395
Doubt we would get that far. Fuuma should just leave. Time to gather an army of Demi-Humans. The mark of the Deer Mother will become known soon.
>>
We need to grind exp a lot... I wont feel confident unless we have about 600 magic. And dark magic needs to go up as well.

Out if character i think these classmates are decent people. But I dont want our character to think that, i want her to be bitter and angry and spiteful.. I dont neccesarily mean kill them all, but Ruiji i want dead for trying to use force on us. If our counter attack had worked i might have voted to let him off with a scare. Not anymore though
>>
>>2903429
Ah then again.. that may have been an emotional response.
If i imagine defeating him and standing over his prone form, afraid of death, i dont think I wanna deal the finishing blow.
What i really wanna do though, is just establish dominance. As it stands, in my view, he kinda won the power clash, since we got hurt and he didnt. Plus, restraining us was humiliating, we.. fuck that guy.

When I woke up I was on the guest room's bed within the Palad headquarters.

How long did I sleep? The sun is still out, albeit early in the afternoon if I interpret the sun's position correctly.

Beside me was Cheru, sleeping next to me on the bed while holding my arm. Looking at myself, I see that I'm only wearing my skirt and tunic which was thoroughly burnt; the bear cloak was taken off me and placed on a chair next to my magic bag. As for Yoksha and Fen: Yoksha was sitting in a chair, asleep, while Fen slept on Cheru's side.

Recounting the fight I had with Ruiji I took notice that I lost my mask, giving me a little fright as I closed my eyes to not affect my kids. I reached into the magic bag by leaning on the bed, getting Olm and tying it on myself as I opened vision again.

Cheru tightened herself around my arm, mumbling in her sleep. "mommy, forever and ever. cheru will be a good girl."

I petted her, slowly worming my arm out of her grip to put her in a better position, tucking Cheru under the sheets.

"Forevermore, dear," I whispered into her ear before getting out of bed.

The door opened. "Oh, you're awake," said a familiar voice, catching me off guard. It was Marianne; she wasn't wearing her armor but casual clothes - well, casual in noble standards. Marianne came through the door as I got up, myself meeting her.

> "Didn't realize you'd be coming, I would've prepared myself then."
> "Not in your armor, Drilly? Unless you want some 'fun'."
> "Does the sight of a burnt girl excite you~?"
> Other?write-in
>>
>>2903557
>"hi Marianne" simply greet her and see if there's anything in particular she wants. I dont imagine the encounter left us in a playful mood

Wonder if she will connect the dots now that she see us wear Olm..

"Marianne, I need to be honest with you. Yesterday I was attacked and almost enslaved by one of this Kingdom's heros. A Ruiji. At this rate, I fear for my safety in this city and baring me changing my appearance completely, I intend to leave soon."

So what are you guys' thoughts? Personally im thinking getting stronger and at some point get back at Ruiji in some way. But getting stronger being the most important part for now.
Maybe go live in the woods for a while? Or seek down groups that can be legally killed, like orcs or such
>>
>>2903666
2 choices really.

Firstly, we make a clean break, find another base of operations and train up while building up another network. Maybe send a letter to Hanazawa through marianne, explaining the situation.

Secondly, is we hex ourselves and our children completely. Different look, different voice and a falsified status screen. This will allow us to live in the den of the beast, allowing us to continue the contacts we've built up here and access to the mage libraries to continue our studies.
>>
>>2903666
Maybe we can move to another kingdom/city? I think living amongst demi-humans in their territory would be hard, considering all the slavery. But having somewhere where we can earn money, build connections, get stronger and can generally expand our knowledge would be good.
Maybe if we leave, get some books on magic before doing so, so we can study during our travels.
>>
>>2903682
I vote for the fake appraisal hex. We can remove our anti-appriaisal hex we have and replace it an illusionary stat screen that they can see.
May be make it double layer. One that shows our fake stats which are normal adventurer level A and behind it another fake stat screen with higher stats but our true screen is in the third layer.
>>
Before we leave, Futuna should pray for guidance. We should tell the goddess our situation and that we’re unable to cooperate with people who want us dead at first sight.

>>2903682
Also, I’m thinking we should do both. Leave and change identities. Become the Deer Mother. Maybe find a few villages of Demi-Humans and gift them some kind of champion’s Mark or something. I’m actually really torn up about the loss of our mask. That’s the first thing we should recreate. Like recreate right now using our divine crafting thing.
>>
>>2903727
Fuuma not whatever the fuck autocorrect changed it to. Phoneposting is pain.
>>
>>2903694
I agree

Im not sold on the idea of changing appearance or such..

>>2903727
Yeah i didnt even realize we lost the mask in the scene, but it's kinda sad. Good thing we can make another though
>>
>>2903742
The main thing we're losing out is access to the vast mage libraries of the guild and the noble school. Their collection must be pretty extensive and being able to mine their depths will be very valuable in expanding our expertise. Any other location we head to will require some time to reforge the type of contacts we need for such access.
>>
>>2903769
True, but given how we have used magic i think we can manage with learning by ourselves. The main thing im conflicted about is if we move far and lose Marianne for s long time..
>>
>>2903557
>>2903578
>>
>>2903777
No need to reinvent the wheel if we have it infront of us.

Currently theres like 3-4 people who know we're gonna be the noble teacher. We should be able to secure their cooperation to change the teacher from Nemo to our new persona.
>>
>>2903769
>>2903777
>>2903788
Teleportation magic. We can just live somewhere far away, but teleport to classes & the library.
>>
The teleport thing may work, assuming we're not gonna be branded enemy of the state (i dont expect that, but who knows)

>>2903788
I dont want a new persona tho :/
>>
>>2903812
We're not exactly given a choice in the matter since we're going to be hunted by the other six.
>>
>>2903812
At least until we have contact with the other heros that we can guarantee that we can slap a restraining order on the bastard.
>>
>>2903820
We dont know that though, we only know we had an unpleasant run in with one of the five, which desu he started... But I dont disagree to be prepeared for the worst, in which case i would rather leave the area than change persona.. plus, if it's a manhunt, it seems safer to leave than to attempt to hide
>>
>>2903820
Technically using meta knowledge but still. Remaining while them knowing we’re here is a bad idea. We should move into a demi-human village, probably those bear guys, and build up ourselves while hunting shit. Teleporting to the places we need and such. Just make undetectable markers since we know there’s tracker magic now.
>>
>>2903820
>>2903878
>Using meta knowledge
slightly correct
but our main character (Fumma) can already guess that that degenerate slavemancer told the other heroes about us.
>>
>>2903888
True, i dont see a problem in assuming Nemo can figure this out
>>
>>2903878
Considering that Fuuma thinks the worst of them and knows that the 6 are all hot shit due to what the gods say. It's not that big of a stretch for her to think that the're functioning like a street gang.
>>
>>2903888
sry im actualy on another thread right now so i messed up with my name

Also could we use the info of slavemancer having the Elf princes as his slave to throw shade at him.
>>
>>2903919
Might be tricky depending on how it plays out.
If we just rely on the moral outrage of it, it might just simply fizzle out due to slavery being a part of their culture and combined with the fact that the elves are a enemy of this kingdom.
Now if you come at it with a logical method and bring up his personality, and combine that with the fact that his power means that he can enslave the royal family and thus overthrow the kingdom through literal mind control, you could possibly get a foot in the door.
>>
>>2903930
This makes sense desu. Claiming he may become treasonous and overthrow the kingdom will probably net us something more than just how he is. We can prove this through a display of his personality.
>>
>>2903948
His ability to enslave anyone at will would be a major selling point in this case. Adding meta knowledge of him not actively helping the others, we could claim that he may or may not be companions with the demon king. We would need a few nobles to start to toss in accusations before we come into light. Stir the pot with our home girl M and let her network with other nobles.
>>
>>2903960


I see your point but I dont think it's a viable road to take
>>
>>2903960
Hell, you don't even need the meta knowledge, you can easily bring up the fact that he acts like a bandit when none of the other 6 is around to keep him in line.
>>
>>2903960
IM thinking she could wear noble looking clothes like the dress she wore before with the veil. Fuuma’s a magic caster witch would make sense to cover ourselves. They know Fuuma to be modest, here we will not be. Her looking like a mysterious noble would let her integrate into the upper class easier. Fuuma would teach and learn at the mages guild while we live at the village and cast magic spells n shit.

Also, she could hex ourselves with something like hex of restfulness that allows her to rest passively when she’s not actively doing something like combat and what not. She could still sleep but it’s not 100% needed with it.
>>
>>2903973
May not be something to completely exile him but it would cast doubt on his character from the general public & noble cabals. Playing the political game only lightly to not entirely oust him as villain number two but a danger that, if not contained, will become something terrible. Allowing us to eventually attack him and the rest without the public hating Fuuma.
>>
>>2903973
We may not even need to take the road. Merely give Marianne the truth with the full intent that she is a honorbound knight and noble lady who needs to protect the kingdom. If she was willing to find a third way to save Cheru. Then she'll find a way.
>>
>>2903991
Which brings into question if we should tell our main girl M that we’re one of the six. May not be needed but I find a certain safety in telling her in a way to legitimize Fuuma’s standing and reasoning.
>>
>>2904008
we could tell them that he made his slave cast a tracking spell on us and tried to inslave us when we tried to confront him. (just tell half truth)
>>
>>2904008
If need be, I wouldn't be surprised if we had to burn our Nemo ID to such a degree that we can't use it again and thus build up a new fake ID.
>>
>>2904019
Also point out the fact that we were willing to talk things out and they still insisted on attacking.
>>
>>2904027
oh yea thanks for the reminder
>>
>>2904027
Good point. He’s aggressive, compulsive, uncooperative, and powerful. Things that make someone dangerous.
>>
>>2904031
>>2904032

I mean seriously. The entire event with Rushit doesn't really have to be modified much.
It literally wrote itself out hilariously enough to where in any other setting where the chosen ones aren't so loved he'd be buttfucked by the justice system.
>>
>>2904035
yep
>>
>>2904036
Of course this can all easily mean nothing if everyone in the kingdom throws in with the other 5 because of retarded reasons.
Either way, we will probably need a form of legal witness protection.
>>
Nemo: so yeah that guy is probably a bad person and he uses slave magic
Authority figure: oh yeah we know about that, he's a nice guy though and doesn't abuse his power at all

Then what?

Also, it isnt unthinkable that can shrug the entire encounter off with sth like "yeah np it wasnt a lethal spell, and I knew she could avoid the attack"
I think there's a decent chance that this country's figureheads already view the 5 as allies, and wont do anything against them
>>
>>2904056
I figured as much.
Which is WHY if they bring that up, we need to bring up the fact that nothing is stopping him from enslaving the royal family and heads of power, even the other 4 that are with him can't be around him 24/7 and when they're away, he's going to abuse it like they've never seen before.


On a entirely different thing involving the short story and a spoiler QM posted, Rushit never brought up the fact, word for word that our eyes were capable of Paralyzing to the other four.
>>
>>2904070
What if they are cool with it though? Like "Well he is a hero that has proven himself, and he hasnt done anything to diminish our trust in him" or such.. It's entirely possible in my head. I dont really trust this approach
>>
>>2904084
then bring up that the elves might have joined the demons cause he enslaved a elf princess (willing or not...)
>>
>>2904084
>>2904056
networking my guy. It’s all about talking to people who believe us and letting them talk to people who believe them. We build a cabal within the nobles to create distrust with the heroes. We could also claim that Rushit could have the others enslaved as well. How can you know your enemy when your enemy could be your ally? He can literally control minds. It’s an unknowable danger and from what I know, almost everyone we’ve appraised doesn’t have the appraisal skill.
>>
>>2904110
I see it, but I just think it can fail too easily and in too many ways..
>>
>>2904084
>>2904127

Then we drop it politely if they keep insisting that he's a gudboy who dindonuffins, find some privacy to write a letter explaining why we chose to leave the city with the main reason being that the're intentionally harboring someone who will gladly corrupt their kingdom into nothing. Give the letter to the head knight saying the letter is for Marianne, and then fucking leave the city.
Because nothing we say at that point won't do a damn thing since they're pretty much committing suicide. And we have to protect our children.
>>
>>2904131
We should still leave, just start the nobles on their way to casting doubt on the heroes. Not to mention that there’s supposed to be six heroes, meaning that these five people could just be demon king minions to claim that they’re heroes. There’s several little routes we could choose to push some nobles toward. They, themselves, will push our agenda while we’re away.

Give our girl M an untraceable market and place one within the mages guild so we can teleport to and fro from wherever we are.
>>
>>2904131
>>2904127

Oh yeah I also forgot to put in
*main reason being that the're intentionally harboring someone who will gladly corrupt their kingdom into nothing and We don't want our children to be prey to such a being.
>>
It's all well and good to politic away to get rid of the other guy but let's try to look at this at the point of view of those in power.

We deliberately hid ourselves and did not reveal ourselves to the nobility and clergy who summoned us. We act in a sketchy manner. Our five heroes didn't resort to such underhanded tactics and in fact announced themselves rather promptly. They don't know very much about us compared to the others.

They're going to ask why? Why did we put all that effort into hiding ourselves and avoiding the other heroes? Could it be that we've been corrupted or untrustworthy in some manner by the ritual? Or perhaps we've joined up the Demon King's side, remember we got that map from the orcs. Maybe it was a ruse? And then we lied to the Holy Maiden and to many Knights of the Palad when we got questioned.

Also, though this is meta knowledge unfortunately so we'll have to discard when playing in character, Ruiji has gotten the first word in with his comrades and authorities. We appear to be acting in a funny manner and might be corrupted in some manner because our personality is so different from what it used to be.
>>
>>2904416
So the best case scenario is literally run to the ends of the world and be an absolute pain to find.
>>
>>2904423
Not necessarily, but I want to point out that the authorities have absolutely no reason to believe a word we say given how suspicious we are.

We need to abandon this identity. Maybe we can craft another and remain on the downlow. Forge false identification papers and bribe a clerk to get it registered. Get a job as a merchant and set up a caravan to get away for awhile and out of town. Return after a trade trip and start over again.

Or if you insist we can remain in the city and try to brazen it out. We don't have to cooperate, we could simply just do nothing. What the fuck are the others going to do about that beyond imprisoning us or if they're dumb enough to try to compel us with force or magic, they'll make us permanently an enemy.

I want to help the Goddess Alia, it doesn't mean I want to do it necessarily with them or even in the manner everyone else thinks I should help.
>>
>>2904436
I'm of the opinion that we can somehow just talk this through. The others don't seem as stupid as Ruiji so maybe they won't open fire the second they see us. If we explain that we're not evil and we just want to be left alone so that we can help Alia in our own way, maybe they'll let us be.
Of course, Fuuma's kind of a lil' shit so for this to work we'd have to have some kind of magic to calm her down.
>>
>>2904416
I'm gonna try and make up some example excuses for these questions because they are honestly good, and I'm just passing time till the next session.

>Why did we put all that effort into hiding ourselves and avoiding the other heroes?
>Could it be that we've been corrupted or untrustworthy in some manner by the ritual?
"Because I feared being caught by the Demon Lord's agents and I can not be sure if the other heroes are also corrupted, or even plan on betraying you to him."
>Or perhaps we've joined up the Demon King's side, remember we got that map from the orcs. Maybe it was a ruse?
"Tell that to the young women that were taken captive and raped. The Demon Lord has NOTHING I want if that is a end result."
>And then we lied to the Holy Maiden and to many Knights of the Palad when we got questioned.
"Because I am still under the belief that there can be agents of the Demon Lord in the city, it's not outside the possibility. After all, you yourself believe I am an agent, if that is possible then I cannot truly trust anyone here because of it."


>>2904436
To be honest I've been always open to the idea of just having a selection of fake IDs to easily dispose of if they get too hot to use.
Games like Delta Green and the movie Fletch always stuck a cord with me on that front.
>>
>>2904454
We actually don't know about the other 4. We haven't even learned in character their names. We only know what Ruiji is here and with the others. I don't even think we know that the five them have teamed up and are working together. We've been a vacuum of information because we decided not to inquire too closely about what happened to the other. But I put that down to Fuuma not being especially interested in looking for them.
>>
>>2904482
From Ruiji's words we know the name Kotomine and we know they're working together.
>>
>>2904490
Ah I stand corrected then.
But basically when we discover our classmates are the popular kids we've envied and raged in private jealousy so much or just people we don't care for, it's going to be... interesting.
>>
>>2904497
My only worry is that Fuuma's emotions are going to end up ruining everything for her.
If we can't come to a peaceful solution with the others, this becomes a pretty dark road.
>>
>>2904509
The character is a teenage girl given a huge amount of power and the opportunity to reinvent ourselves which we took full advantage. To the point of throwing away our old name and forcibly gathering friends/minions at fist point. We did after all hex them to obedience though it seems that can protest and suggest things that would make them more comfortable than take our shit all the time with a smile.
In short, Fuuma's a power drunk teen who is reveling in her power and doesn't exactly want to ever lose it and her independence. The fact she gets emotional and over-reacts to anything that remotely threatens her seems normal but really it's us players who overreact.

There was no reason to confront Ruiji. We could have asked for assistance from Wilbur upon discovering the tracking. Or ask Yoksha and Fenrir for help when we decided to go after Ruiji. Or even just fleeing the moment we got jumped on by the bunny with our teleport relic since the initiative had been completely lost.

That and we have abysmal luck with the dice. It makes things interesting but still annoys me
>>
>>2904509
>"If we can't come to a peaceful solution with the others, this becomes a pretty dark road"

>A quest where to become divine we had to literally die a slow painful death inside of a damn subway car
>A quest where we know that one of the "heroes" does not consider the fact that the real reason he became divine wasn't the fact that he was strong but that he was lucky, and thus considers everyone who is not him as "weak" (don't think it's not outside his possibilities), and is willing to commit to a "attack first and interrogate with threats of perma mind control" to a person who had the ability to block appraise.
>A quest where slavery is a cultural norm for at least one (maybe more) Kingdoms
>A quest where Orc rape is a thing
>A quest where a small child's mind broke and was responsible for the deaths of several people in a quest to find her "mother"
>A quest where the only reason that the "Chosen Six" are here is because Yad was scrapping the bottom of the soul barrel.

I mean if you consider being burned to death as bright due to the light emitting off of the fire that's cooking us like a cornish game hen then sure it can be risked to become a dark road.
>>
>>2904603
Sorry not 'bunny' but elf.
>>
>>2904603
I think big reason why we didn't ask Wilbur for help was because we believed he was compromised and if he wasn't, would just simply get enslaved to tell them where we are.
Of course I was exhausted at the so I was not helpful at all in mitigating the damage.
>>
>>2904603
Yeah, I understand Fuuma's character. Which is why I'm worried about her.
Also yeah, player decisions do play a huge part, but I've been pushing for more cautious options.
>>2904606
Well when you put it that way
>>
Who is wilbur again?
>>
>>2904627
Mage guild guy, we never appraised him, but he seemed like a helpful guy. Could have used his opinions on the tracker and what to do with it rather than lose our head and charge off to a confrontation.
>>
>>2904603
>Or even just fleeing the moment we got jumped on by the elf with our teleport relic since the initiative had been completely lost.

To be honest, if I didn't see your suggestion or take up on it I'd like to apologize on that, being dead tired does things to an Anon's brain.

We gave them the option of following us, and offered fenrir help in her quest to avenge the slaughter of her pack. We also didn’t really want to put the mark of obedience down, we were called too trusting by yoksha even.
We’re not just some teen on a power trip, we’re a self aware teen with a tragic life story that gives us a hair trigger about family and friends.

"Marianne," I said, grabbing her undivided attention.

"Yeah?'

"I need to be honest with you. Yesterday I was attacked and almost enslaved by one of this Kingdom's heroes, Kita Ruiji. At this rate, I fear for my safety in this city and baring me to change my appearance completely, I may or may not intend to leave."

Marianne just frowned, but she shook her head with determination, "Nemo...Is your name Fuuma Nagaro?"

"...I don't like going by that name anymore but yes. I'm Fuuma Nagaro, but now I go by Nemo."

Marianne chuckled awkwardly, "Looks like my suspicions correct. So it was you who I took to the cafe'."

I nod without gesture.

"You know, after that man carried you here along with your daughters, a private message was given to both the Royal and Palad Order. It said that a sixth hero has appeared who had a bad run-in with Kita Ruiji, and that their name was 'Fuuma Nagaro'. Right now, the public doesn't know about this."

I say nothing, motioning her to continue.

"Me and Olivia talked about the situation regarding you. As of now, only me and her only know about your real identity." Marianne then took a deep breath. "How does working under my house as a maid sound? You'll still be teaching at Lionheart under the same agreement but Olivia said that she can make compromises to fit your need. I'll say this, Olivia herself may be the only person who sees the heroes as people, and respects each of their motives, even you. She more than willing to help you stay low if that's your wish. So am I."

"I know the risk, but you aren't branded an enemy. You are just wanted. The other five heroes wants so see you and specifically said not to treat you as a criminal. The hero Yuukito even admitted that hero Kita stepped out of line."

"Funny development," I commented.

"I'll take care of your family, and in turn you'll work as maids or butlers strictly to me. No one else. Olivia will even supply you a different city ID if you feel that you're current identity isn't safe."

Cute.

>>2904960
Two main reasons
1. There's never enough time in a ingame day for that.
2. We never really thought of that in the first place.

>>2904960
>I've been wondering why you guys haven't made tons of enchanted rings, bracelets, necklaces and such
THIS
Some of these guys don't understand how useful it would be to absolutely cover ourselves and our companions in enchanted gear. They just make one or two things then vote to go do something else.
>>
>>2904963
Well...
We technically will have time for it if we take Marianne up on her offer.
>>
>>2904960
My reason is it's kinda boring and stalling, and u havent seen s huge need for it yet.. if you wanna prep in a system with as many options ad this one, it's very useful to know what to prep against. I mean there are general ones like poison, mind effects, spell resistance, and such, but it's really unclear how useful it will be
>>
>>2904963
Also the other big reason was because we can barely decide on what magics to train, I mean you have a few that want to mainline Dark magic.
You got some that want a balance of both Light and Dark magic.
And you got me, the chucklefuck that just wants to invent the Flashbang grenade spell.
>>
>>2904961
It's been mentioned before but hasn't gotten many votes for it. I for one have advocated using hexes to boost stats.
>>
What we need is focus, we were so excited we tried to bite a bit of everything. Which is great because it gives us ideas but leaves us unable to fulfil them
>>
>>2904970
True.. I wonder if there is an efficient way to collectively decide on a set if enchanted gear
>>
>>2904961
>1. There's never enough time in a ingame day for that.
Fair enough.

>2. We never really thought of that in the first place.
It's standard practice in fantasy games to have magic jewellery than some real world pimps.

>>2904965
Well one solution to that is the fact we know it is possible to train things like poison resistance. So fire, ice and so on should be possible to develop too. Plus, we can use our ability to leech the skills of others and then kill them. It's a win-win situation of making your enemies weaker and you stronger.

I get what you mean though, spending a few updates making magic gear would get kinda boring.

>>2904968
Personally they all seem very useful and are fairly cheap.

>>2904969
Yeah but hexes have the problem that if we screw up they take effect immediately which could seriously screw us over.

>>2904970
Eh, what we really need to do is go back to the adventurer guild and do every job we can get our hands on for the XP.
>>
>>2904973
"To have MORE magic jewellery than", Christ I'm too tired.

>>2904973
I believe we lose stolen abilities if the original owner dies.
I heavily agree on the exp tho, like i said before, i wont be satisfied before we reach 600 magic and get higher specialization in spell elements
>>
>>2904969
I've said it before and I've said it again. We need to stop using the Hex Spell as a crutch.
>>
>>2904977
Is your worry that it could be dispelled and fuck us over?
>>
>>2904976
>I believe we lose stolen abilities if the original owner dies.
That was the original version of our ability. After this world's god of light modified our abilities I remember that restriction being removed.

>I heavily agree on the exp tho, like i said before, i wont be satisfied before we reach 600 magic and get higher specialization in spell elements
1000 in every skill or bust. I want us to solo (well, not the other 5 heroes at least) the dark lord.
>>
Guys, chill, there has been to few days in game and suddenly many things happens, things that we couldn't control thanks to dices and either could foreseen all of them.

We're doing fine, as experience to "us" (Nemo) we have to choice what to do now, either try to live a quite life (probably we can't) or strength ourselves by leaving the city. We can too do it in secret as a maid, but with the condition of not meeting those heroes.
>>
inb4 the ”heroes” are right outside the room, listening in because why not
>>
>>2904978
That and it restricts us in what we want to do since we'll be always thinking in terms of what Hexes can and cannot do instead of what we can and cannot do as the QMC.
It also makes us predictable to anyone that wishes to get rid of us.

>>2904982
I don't know why, but I'm under the honest belief that the QM is trying to throw us a bone after everything that happened.

>>
>>2904990

>>
>>2904986
Predictable? I can't see us not using the spell or some other similar spell that can be stopped the similar. You're advocating not using it because someone will take advantage of us using it but not using to improve ourselves while we can is worse then if someone counters hexes specifically.
>>
>>2904990
>Ainz levels of power level compared to everyone else.
You mean Ainz "I'm so over-levelled, I can use weapons from a class I have no levels in and still win."? I mean we kinda already pulled that off against Drilly. We went in and fought her using a sword competently having never used one before.
>>
>>2904987
I want echolocation, tremorsense, radar, IR and UV vision, and as much straight bonus as we can nab.
>>
>>2904993
That said, if we really wanted to get even more meta we could create an item that counters a counter to the hexes and a counter for that item that counters any counters preventing the counter to the counter. :D

Yeah that. Youre talking about beating drilly though, that's not really near the strongest threats. The other heroes are probably at our stat lvl, and demon god/king/whatever is prolly way stronger. I wanna be able to look at any if the five and say "fuck you", cast hold person and call it a victory, no sweat
>>
You know it's not healthy to fantasize what we can do in future when the road ahead is hard and long.
We should really focus on the short term and medium term right now.

Short term is getting more xp points for everyone in our party and tell Marianne/Olivia what we've discovered about the demon lord
Midterm is figuring out the best way to help against the Demon Lord without getting noticed by the other heroes. This is where our inner munchkin needs to get unleashed.
>>
>>2905003
>Youre talking about beating drilly though, that's not really near the strongest threats.
Yeah my point was more so we went into combat without any skill in our weapon and held our own.

>The other heroes are probably at our stat lvl, and demon god/king/whatever is prolly way stronger. I wanna be able to look at any if the five and say "fuck you", cast hold person and call it a victory, no sweat
Well that we can achieve but if we want to do it in a reasonable time scale, we'll need to do some risky shit like fighting stronger enemies than we can safely deal with for additional XP.

Any how we can do that if we want to by another method. Magic rings enchanted to cast loads of dark bolts to drown our enemies in firepower.

>>2905013
This.
>>
>>2904993
Nothing so far as led me to believe that Hexes cannot generate raw stats out of nothing.
I'm gonna need you to bring up seeing if hexes can boost our stats the next time we experiement.
>>2905001
Oh God yes. I wanna Xin Sheng.

That's a big thing we really need to tackle ASAP
>>2905017

>>
>>2905026
>Not Magic Missile to home in on their targets so they can't lolspeeddodge their way out of the line of fire.
I am fairly sure darkbolt does that, I mostly suggested it because I know for a fact we have the spell and have actually used it.

>>2905035
Oh! Well if that's the case then fucking go hogwild.
I want my Missilegeddon.
>>
>>2905038

Clearly we must gather dozens of companions, shrink them down after equipping them with a full set of missile rings and then restore their size (if it proves needed) whenever we need more firepower than a small army.

To be honest I've only ever seen the film but essentially this: Imagine if the US had permission from the entire non-soviet world (they have the oktober guard) to fight a force of terrorists (more like a lower tech NOD than the taliban or the IRA) and they decided to do it in the most kickass way possible.

After all these years of being alone, only until recently I have started to be with people I care. What Marianne is doing is too unnatural to me. It's too different than how others treated it...it...it...

"...Tch, f-friends are stupid," I said, my voice becoming shaky. "O-Open up to them and...and...and.."

Tears start trailing down from my blindfold, my face contorting into an uncontrollable sadness. Why is she doing this? She needs to stop-- SHE NEEDS TO STOP.

I fall down, grasping away at my face to cover how lowly of a sight I am. I'm someone no one wants. I'm wretched. Who even wants me...

Marianne crouches down to me, hugging me. Now, instead of myself being the mother, I'm the child being cradled rightfully so.

"T-Thank you-- Guh, thank you..."

"It's alright, calm down. Please. Everything will be all snappy. Like I said, I'll take care of you and you'll take care of me."

"I-I'm sorry...All I've done is cause trouble for you..." I said under my whimpers.

"It's fine. Don't be."

Marianne held me throughout my incessant sobbing, tears rolling down my cheeks from the eyes I hide from the world. It boggles me. Scares me that someone cares about such a person. Even the pain of being singed by fire is incomparable to the choking feeling in my chest. It brings me back to the past - it drags me. The dead air in my house and the heavy invisibility at school. Why am I like this now?! I'm powerful right?! I'm something else, this is my life now.

The thing about the idea of working as a maid is, how it will protect our children and also if we can still grow stronger while at it. Will we be able to do quests?
After calming down a bit:
>marriane, i'm thankful for your kindness, but i don't know about your plan. Will my children be protected too? Their safety goes above mine and i cannot agree to anything that would leave them in danger. I also still want to be an adventurer and get stronger. Working as a maid seems so... unproductive
>>
>>2905479
>marriane, i'm thankful for your kindness, but i don't know about your plan. Will my children be protected too?
She says she'll also take care of them and will work under only her.
>>2904927
>I'll take care of your family, and in turn you'll work as maids or butlers strictly to me. No one else.
As for being an adventurer, we can probably work out a schedule with her.
>>
>>2905488
You know what I just realized?
She's nobility.
Which means she's got a big house.
Which means she's got a basement.
She's also very understanding and willing to be flexible provided the requests we make aren't entirely extreme.

I'm thinking Basement Laboratory which also functions as a Sanctuary for us.
Also if we're going to be a maid, we should probably ask her if it's okay to place Anti-Scrying spells into the support beams and so on to better cover the house against magical surveillance.
Also traps, can never have enough traps that have a Soul Identification system.

We need to make a “pain glove” that causes all types of damage and debuffs, but also heals and cures them immediately afterwards. It’ll hurt yes, but it may be the fastest way to gain damage resistances and immunities to help us with other stuff. That can be the project after slave magic immunity and disguise trinkets.

This might work. GM has been very lenient with what we've been allowed to do so far (with our enchantments, hexes etc.). The pain glove combined with a private underground sanctuary/laboratory would allow us to be protected, still have access to things in the city and would let us experiment without worrying others (just imagine cheru walking in on us screaming from pain as we level our heat resistance with the glove)

This will probably work without

kissing her
Then again, i wouldn't mind a good romance. Marriane has proven herself to be more than just a bitchy knight. Turning off emotions the benefits of her being nobility would be even greater in an actual relationship. How long would it last though? Is it even accepted or allowed to have a relationship between commoners and nobility?
