Omake 9: Tea Time with the Dragonfly Empress and Princess of Insects

Merraid shrugged as she awoke in a back alley, took a look at her surroundings and could tell immediately by the smell of clean air she was no longer in Tokorra; that and the people walking by the ally opening looked unusual to say the absolute least. "Well Merraid this is going to be one heck of a dream to explain to Akame and Tatsumi" Merraid thought to herself then stepped up looking around, she then decided it would be prudent to ask for directions dream it may be it was still best to play along and enjoy the dream while it lasted, after all the next day she along with a few others would head to Zarteck to confront Chancellor Falkland.

She didn't go to far before she found a strange looking building, notable because of the butterfly above the door and a sign that said Agitha's Castle. "Hmm this seems like a good place to ask for directions" Merraid replied and hoped mentally it was a brothel as any dream in which she got laid was always enjoyable, and if she didn't get it in her dream well she could easily persuade Tatsumi or Akame or both to fill that need when she woke up. She knocked on the door. "Come in the door's unlocked and I love guests" a Girl's voice replied, Merraid smiled maybe she was in for some action.

Merra walked inside and noted that front room was decorated like an indoor garden with a number of small houses, also a number of bugs moved about the most prominent being butterflies. "Hi there" a Blonde young woman about 14 greeted, she wore a frilly white, pink and green dress with a set of small fake butterfly wings on her back, she had her hair in a set of pigtails and wore a hairband in said hair that was pink and green in color, she wore knee-high socks and high-heeled shoes also her biggest twist was the pointy ears she had. "I'm Agitha, Princess of Insects, are you here for my Tea party?" the Girl asked.

Merraid smiled, while the girl was too young for her idea of fun the idea of having tea was good as Merraid was a tea-totaler who loved tea as her beverage of choice. "I'd love some tea" Merraid replied.

"Alright, well you'll have to wait for my other guests to arrive I put out an invitation to all my royal subjects but they are all late" Agitha replied.

"Royal subjects?" Merraid asked confused.

"All my little Insect friends of course, I'm their Princess" Agitha replied, Merraid had to suppress a laugh.

"Ok when will they get here?" Merraid asked.

"Oh when my boyfriend brings them here" Agitha replied.

"Boyfriend?" Merraid asked, her own fortunes failed again not that she was old enough for her to have time with after all Merraid knew jailbait when she saw it and knew for a fact that she was crazy; most likely schizophrenic as she had yet to meet a sane person who considered insects their best friends; well apart from herself but the wrigglers were a different thing entirely, also her own abilities were a mixture of rare genetics and the Teigu she wore as a hairclip.

"Oh he's a handsome young man about a year older then me; you'd like him" Agitha replied.

"Actually there is only one man for me, and other then that I prefer women" Merraid replied honestly.

"Well to each their own, I won't judge, anyway while we aren't having the party yet I can get you some tea to drink; I made it myself" Agitha replied and had Merraid take a seat at a nearby table which she did without complaint, Agitha then left and came back with teapot. "Here have some nice Ginseng Tea I made it myself" Agitha explained and poured it into a small porcelain cup of the same design as the teapot. "How much sugar do you want?" Agitha asked.

"Two lumps please" Merraid replied, Agitha grinned and opened the sugar bowl and dropped in two lumps.

Merraid took a drink and smiled at the taste. "This is good tea; you're great at making it" Merraid complimented.

"Thank you; I'm glad you liked it; I've also made bon-bons if you want some" Agitha replied and grabbed a bowl filled with the chocolate balls, Merraid smiled and ate one.

"Yummy, these are good, you're a great cook" Merraid replied, the door opened and in strode a man in a green tunic, green hat and chainmail, he had a sword at his side and a bag from which he let a number of bugs out of.

"You found them all Link, now I've got a gift for you two actually, we can finally have our tea party" Agitha cheered, Merraid regarded the man with a study: brown eyes, blonde hair handsome in appearance, and in extremely good shape, at his side was a sword and on his back a shield and bow.

"You're welcome Agitha" Link replied, Agitha walked up and kissed him on the cheek before leading him over to the table where he sat near Merraid.

"Don't mind me I'm here for the tea" Merraid replied, then took another drink.

Agitha returned shortly with crumpets, biscuits, muffins and other treats typical of a tea party she then put them on the table and then left again and returned with another teapot. "More Tea" Agitha remarked putting down the pot next to the other; Merraid took another drink then took a crumpet and nommed on it then took another drink, she noted to the side Agitha filling cups next to her but that sat in front of empty seats.

"I'll just leave these here and my subjects will drink as they see fit" Agitha replied.

"So how did you two become a couple" Merraid asked.

Link said nothing and drank more tea: Merraid shrugged and drank more; she then had the thought since this was dream and there was no sense in letting that tea go to waste well it would be a good idea to invite some guests of her own. Tatsumi and Akame spontaneously appeared next to her in the seats by her. "Nice of you two to drop in" Merraid replied, both kissed her then took drinks, the party went on for a while.

"Merra wake up!" Tatsumi shouted, Merraid kissed him.

"Wake up!" Tatsumi said urgently and Merraid woke up looking at a shirtless Tatsumi in bed with her.

"Tea my darling?" Merraid asked, then kissed him.
