Back by unpopular demand... Me!
First chapter of 2019 folks! And this one is coming to you at the request of UCC Master, I hope it is to your liking :)
Ritsuka was feeling pretty good about this misson, he'd assembled a good team with a nice balance of skills, his mana was at peek levels, and the danger levels for this singularity was pretty low compared to some of the past ones. All in all he was feeling pretty positive. The ray shift commenced and the team found themselves transported.
Twenty minutes later it was dark, wet, windy, and Ritsuka was hopelessly lost and separated from everyone else. Ritsuka guessed they were in some version of Europe based off the terrain, the muddy ground had tripped him down a steep hill and now he was crawling through a thicket, the tiny branches whipping him in the face with every step.
He kept trudging through this British brand misery until a light in the distance caught his eye, Ritsuka pushed a mass of branches out of his face and he saw it, the holy grail, shining like a beacon on the top of a castle, strangely large but Ritsuka didn't care. Could it be? Just this once, could it really be that easy?
Ritsuka broke out of the thicket and crawled up the hill towards the castle. He scrambled around the walls until he found the door. Throwing both his fists against the door he screamed over the wind, "Open the door! Open the door!"
Without any answer the door swung inwards and Ritsuka fell inside. He hit the ground face first, the ground inside the castle was covered in fur rugs. Ritsuka propped himself up onto his elbows and looked up to see a group of beautiful women standing at the top of the steps. The apparent leader was a dark skinned woman with short pale hair, she wore a thick black bow in the back of her hair with a small red ornament on the side, she was dressed in a short red dress with black arm coverings and a long red scarf.
"Welcome to the castle Anthrax." The pale haired woman greeted.
Ritsuka gaped once or twice , partly in shock, partly because his face was a little numb from the weather. "The castle Anthrax?"
"Yes, it's not a very good name." The woman pouted, coming down the stairs to help him to his feet, "Oh, but we are nice, and we will attend to your every, every need." She assured him, pulling him in close to her, running her hands down his arms.
Ritsuka stumbled backwards, out of her grasp, "You are the keepers of the holy grail?"
Her pale eyes, which were the same colour as her hair he noticed, widened "The what?"
"The grail! It is here?" Ritsuka snapped.
"Oh, but you are tired, and you must rest a while." She purred, then she turned her head and beckoned to the small group of girls at the top of the steps, "Kiyohime, Serenity."
Two girls stepped forward, on had short purple hair and skin even darker than the woman standing next to him, the other was a shorter woman with horns and flowers on the side of her head, she had long teal hair and a short kimono, "Yes Miss Alter?" They asked in unison.
"Please prepare a bed for our guest."
"Oh thank you, thank you." They both sang, eyeing Ritsuka up and down.
"Away away." The leader waved her hands at them, before turning back to Ritsuka, pulling him up the steps and threading her arms around his. "The beds here are warm and very soft."
"Well see here-" Ritsuka tried to protest.
"What is your name, oh gallant knight?" She asked innocently.
"Ritsuka Fujimaru."
"Mine is Okita, Okita Alter." She smiled, "Oh, but come." She pulled him further inside the castle.
"No please, in Akasha's name, show me the grail." Ritsuka begged, though his body did little to follow his protests.
"Oh, you have suffered much, you are delirious." Okita Alter sighed, pressing her hand to his forehead, and flooding Ritsuka's senses with the scent of her as she did so.
"No, I have seen it, it's here-" He tried to argue pathetically.
"Sir Ritsuka!" Okita pulled back suddenly, looking him square in the eye. "You would not be so ungallant as to refuse our hospitality?"
That was more a trap than a question.
"Well, I-I um..."
"I'm afraid our life must seem very dull and quiet compared to yours," Okita slipped back into her agreeable persona, pulling him further along the winding hallways. "We are but eight score young maidens, all between sixteen and nineteen and a half, cut off in this castle with no one to protect us, it is a lonely life." The two came to a door and Okita opened it to reveal a bed chamber, there was a roaring fire place that sang to Ritsuka like a siren and the damn him if that bed didn't look like the softest thing he'd ever seen. "Bathing, dressing, undressing, knitting exciting underwear, we are just not used to handsome knights, come come." Okita ordered him to follow her into the room.
She sat down on the side of the bed, patting the space beside her. Ritsuka allowed the exhaustion to get to him, he fell towards the bed, flopping down next to Okita Alter, he felt her hands on his sides as she guided him onto his back, he felt the heat of another body press against him, felt hands move from his sides to his chest, "You may lie here." Her sweet voice whispered into his ears.
But then she gasped, "You are wounded!"
It took Ritsuka a second to realise she was referring to the scratches on his face.
"It's nothing!" He assured her.
"Oh but you must see the doctors immediately!" Okita Alter sprang back to her feet, and clapped her hands.
He wasn't sure where they came from but suddenly a black haired girl with a black tiara, in a gold and white dress which exposed her midriff, and a long purple haired girl in a black trench coat with a red ribbon around her neck and in her tresses.
"What seems to be the problem?" Asked the purple haired one.
"They're doctors?" Ritsuka asked aghast.
"They have a basic medical training, yes." Okita Alter mumbeled, her eyes trailing away from Ritsuka's as she spoke.
"B-but-"
"Oh, come come, you must try to rest!" Okita Alter ordered, "Doctor Ishtar, Doctor BB, practice your art." She instructed before slipping out the door.
"Try to relax." BB assured him as she and Ishtar climbed onto the bed with him.
Ishtar took her seat, straddling his thighs as her fingers began undoing the buckles on his uniform, while BB maneuvered behind him, pulling him backwards to pillow his head on her chest.
"Are you sure this is absolutely necessary?" Ritsuka asked, and if voice went up a pitch no man would blame him.
"We must examine you." Ishtar explained calmly. As she began undoing his belt.
Ritsuaka yanked his legs out from under her, pulling them in close to his chest, "There's nothing wrong with that!"
BB sighed a little, "Please, we are doctors." As if this situation was completely normal.
Ritsuaka jumped off the bed and threw himself against the wall, feeling around for the door. "Get off the bed! I am sworn to chastity!" He wasn't actually but for some reason it felt like a good thing to say.
"Back to your bed!" Ishtar ordered.
"Torment me no longer! I have seen the Grail!"
The two girls exchanged confused looks, "There's no grail here." BB told him.
Ritsuaka was about to retort when his hand felt the door knob, he quickly yanked the door open and sprinted down the hallway, no idea where he was going but the grail had to be somewhere.
"I have seen it, I have seen it." He repeated to himself. Running towards the door at the end of the hall. "I have seen-" But when he opened the door he was greeted by a different sight.
"Hello." Chorused all the girls standing in the steam of the baths.
"Oh-" Ritsuaka tried to back out of the room, but ended up slipping forward on a conveniently placed bar of soap. Now submerged in the steam he just prayed that none of these girls were tsunderes. Looking for a door and valiantly trying to avoid the sight of bare skin, Ritsuka spotted an exit on the other side of the room
Moving as quickly as he could (because you should never run in a place with wet floors). He made it to the door, but before he could reach it himself, it was opened from the other side.
"Okita Alter!" He gasped, though she had to be the same person, her skin seemed paler, and her robes were now blue.
"No, I am Okita Alter's identical twin sister, Okita." The woman answered pleasantly.
Ritsuka waited for her to finish her name, but apparently that was it. You know what? He wasn't even going to question it.
"Oh, well, excuse me, I-" Ritsuaka stammered a sentence together as he squeezed around Okita and into the hallway, at the end of which he saw the stairs he'd come in on.
"Where are you going?" A voice called out from behind him, he looked over his shoulder to see that Okita, as well as half the women in the castle were following him.
"I seek the grail! I have seen it here! In this castle!" He yelled, finally at the end of his rope.
Okita's eyebrows drew together in confusion, before her face broke out into shock, "Oh no! Oh no!"
Ritsuka stopped in his tracks and turned to face her. "Oh bad Alter!" Okita continued speaking to herself.
"What is it?" Ritsuak asked.
"Oh, wicked,bad, naughty Alter!" She sighed before explaining, "She has been setting alight to our beacon, which I just now remembered is grail shaped. It's not the first time we've had this problem."
"It's not the real Grail?" No, it seemed it never could be that easy.
"Oh, wicked, bad, naughty, evil Zoot!" Okita continued to rant, "Oh, she is a naughty person, and she must pay the penalty - and here in Castle Anthrax, we have but one punishment for setting alight the grail-shaped must tie her down and spank her!"
"A spanking! A spanking!" Cried the girl behind Okita.
"You must spank her well. And after you have spanked her, you may deal with her as you like." Okita's face took on a sudden shy quality, "And then, spank me."
"And spank me." Cried out a pink haired girl with fox ears, "And me." Echoed a blonde in a red dress, "And me." Added on a brown skinned woman wearing a white veil.
"Yes, yes, you must give us all a good spanking!" Okita annouced, encouraging her girls on.
"A spanking! A spanking!" They cheered again.
During all this Ritsuak had run the rest of the way down the hall way, after trying to open the door himself and finding it stuck, he had now come to simply ponding on it with his fists.
"And after the spanking," Okita continued, oblivious to the males discomfort, "the oral sex."
Ritsuka was suddenly right behind Okita and in a much better mood. "Well, I suppose I could stay a BIT longer."
Then suddenly the door was thrown open and Mash ran into the castle.
"Senpai! I've come to rescue you!" She cried out, grabbing him by the arm and pulling him behind her shield.
"Actually Mash, I think I can take them." He said vaguely.
"Don't worry, the others are waiting at the extraction point, we'll be home in no time!" Mash assured him, seemingly more concerned with the women banging on her shield than what her master was saying.
With a put out look on his face, Ritsuka allowed himself to be carried to safety.
