Author notes:

Hello, everyone! Hope you're having a nice day!

Well, still locked down at home. We can go out, but only for essentials and food, so no much to do... although that is actually my normal life :V

Anyway, new chapter is here. I do have to say that this chapter talks SO MUCH about boobs, so if you are easily triggered by them... I have no idea how you managed to get this far :V

But it's all to create something for the next chapter next week, so... yeah. If you dont mind, you'll probably find it funny... or cringy. I'll let that to you all =P

Anyway, lets continue with this fic.

So, for this chapter's soundtrack (always try and seek the extended versions) :

-Windfall Island (The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Soundtrack)-

-Sleepless City - Treno (Final Fantasy 9 Soundtrack)-

-Descendant of Shinobi - Yuffie's Theme (Final Fantasy 7)-

-Jikai Yokoku (Digimon Tamers Soundtrack)-

And now, to the next chapter :3


Chapter 21: A sisterly bond.

-Location: Port City Nibawen, Ritsma Continent-

-Music: Windfall Island (The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Soundtrack)-

Nibawen, also known as the Port City Nibawen, is a seaport city located in on the north coast of the Ritsma Continent. The Ritsma Continent is very long, going parallel to the world's equator, with the distance between the East and West coast being of thousands of miles apart. It's almost as long as the whole Eurasia Continent on Earth, just on this world's souther hemisphere. Nibawen was in the middle of both coasts, and it was the largest port city in the whole Ritsma Continent.

The Port City of Nibawen, together with Port City Kaza'La in the Asgan Continent, and Port City Blam in the Betan Contient, form what it's called the 'Golden Triangle', as trade between these 3 cities were the biggest ones on this world between continents.

That is, of course, before 3 of the 6 Crystals were destroyed, when trade was severely limited and, once the Water Crystal was destroyed, trade eventually stopped. No ship coming from another continent have ever arrived since then…

…so when a ship of pirates arrived at their shores, it was probably the most amount of people that have touched the city in a few weeks.

"This makez no senz!" Commented Isabella in anger, after leaving her ship and walking around the docks. "Thiz place iz WAY too south! Why ar we here?!"

And her confusion was justified. Nibawen was on the Ritsma Continent, the continent south of both Asgan and Betan ones. They were in the middle of the ocean between the Asgan and Betan Continents and, for some reason, they ended up WAY off course by several thousand miles south.

"Did we take a detour?" Asked Steve in confusion.

"Nonsense!" Exclaimed Isabella in anger. "It'll have taken two or three weeks of sailing to reach here! It makez no sense for us to reach here in such a short time!"

"Then maybe the mist." Commented Duncan, gaining both their attention. "Maybe the Mist had some kind of effect to send a ship off course, so it'll be easier to capture."

"Oh, that way the ships will never know where in the ocean they are. Makes sense." Commented Steve with intrigue.

"Yer sayin that the mist throw us here?" Asked Isabella in confusion.

"It was a magical mist." Expressed Duncan. "Probably the space inside the mist worked different. Maybe we crossed a portal inside it. Maybe the space inside is compacted, so we can sail faster in every direction, and that is why the Ghost Ship can be in every place so fast. Maybe once we were inside the mist, it got us transported to these waters. We'll never know, and the one who knew… well, Steve got rid of him."

"Indeed." Said the mage, remembering his battle with Earl a few minutes ago.

As the group got out of the ship and into the docks of the port city, they saw that the port was mostly empty of people and other ships. It was normal, as trade stopped weeks ago. There were a few ships still on the docks, but it seems like they were smaller and weaker ones. They probably still sail for closer ports in the north coasts of Ritsma, but they don't dare to sail deep into the ocean.

As the group looked around, they saw that Alan, with the help of Kristal, was slowly walking down towards them.

"Hey guys!" exclaimed the human, with a somewhat pained expression.

"You ok, Sir Alan?" Asked Sappire, showing some worry in her voice.

"Don't worry, Sapphire. I'm ok. Kristal fixed my leg and now I can walk again. Still, my leg feels numb, like it was just getting active, so every time I take a step, it feels funny."

"You need to take care of that, Alan." Said Duncan. "Even if you are cured, it's still weak. Give it a day and you'll be fine."

"So… now what?" Asked Castanea, looking at everyone. "What should we do now?"

"We can't stay in here." Said Duncan again. "We need to go to the Betan Continent. Ritsma doesn't have anything of value, as both Crystals are destroyed."

Everyone agreed to that… except Alan, who had an idea.

"Wait, Duncan, a question."

"What is it?" asked the Dark Magician.

"You said the 3 continents each have an Ancient City, right?" Asked Alan with intrigue. "Asgan has the Ancient City of Slaifaa. What city does Ritsma has?"

"The Ritsma Continent has the Ancient City of Oberiskar. Is the ancient city build in honor of the Ancient God Obelisk the Tormentor, just like Slaifaa was built in honor of the Ancient God Osiris, the Sky Dragon."

"The city of Obelisk, eh? How far is it from here? Don't tell me it's on the other side of the continent."

"Is not that far away, actually, maybe 500 kilometers (310 miles) from here."

"So like six hours or so."

"Why do ye want to go to the city of Obelisk?" Asked Rubina in confusion.

"Well… I have the Osiris God Card so…wouldn't it make sense if I took also the Obelisk God Card?"

Everyone looked at each other with confusion and… surprise.

"That would mean…" started Vivian. "That you'll be able to summon Lord Obelisk too?!"

"Indeed!" Exclaimed Alan. "If I'm able to summon Osiris, the Sky Dragon, in theory I should be able to summon Obelisk the Tormentor too, isn't not?"

"I can't believe you, meatbag." Expressed Castanea in surprise. "You talking about summoning GODS like a mage summons smaller beasts!"

"Well, in my world, they are only cards, so…yeah?"

"You are amazing, Sir Alan!" Exclaimed Sapphire in joy.

"Avast me! That'll mean the land lubber REALLY can summon an Ancient God?" Asked Isabella with surprise. "Call me intrigued, mate! Seeing an Ancient God will be incredible!"

"Oh, it WAS!" Exclaimed Steve. "Lord Osiris was breathtaking! And powerful."

"Yeah, you don't want to get on his bad side… believe us." Commented Kristal, laughing nervously.

Duncan laughed a little, before looking at the ship they were. The Trinidad Escarlata was heavily damaged, so much that it was listing, and would have sunk if it wasn't for the water spells of some of the crew people.

"Will you be able to repair your ship?" Asked the Dark Magician.

"Of course we can, mate!" Exclaimed Isabella, before patting the side of her ship. "This ship haz sailed all the oceans and survived! Something like this won't sink her! We'll just get some materials and will be good az new!"

"You're… not going to steal them, right?"

"Normally yes, but we don't be able to escape, so, for this time, we'll have to bu-… we'll have to bu-… to bu-…"

"To buy them?" Finished Steve.

"Yar, that. We'll be, what waz the word? Civiled?"

"Civilized."

"Not good at large words."

"How long will it take to repair the ship?"

"If we get teh materialz… probably 4 dayz?"

"Four days, eh?" Asked Alan with intrigue. "That will be more than enough to go to the city of Obelisk and return, is it not?"

"It is." Said Duncan. "But we need to rest today. We're all tired of the battle in the Ghost Ship, and you need to recover."

"Point taken. Shall we go into the city and seek for a restaurant and a hotel? I need to sleep in a place that isn't moving."

"And I need a good shower with something that isn't sea water." Expressed Kristal, gaining nods from Vivian and Sapphire.

"Bah, yer a bunch of landlubbers." Said Isabella, laughing at the group's whines. "There iz no bether beds like in the good ol ship. But if yer all want to sleep on land, be my guezz."

"So… shall we go?" Asked Alan.

"Yes. We'll search for a place to eat and sleep. It's 3 PM, so we have time. We'll go to the city and search for a good restaurant. Is that right?"

"Roger!" Exclaimed everyone.

And so, the group of Alan, Duncan, Kristal, Sapphire, Vivian, Rubina, Castanea and Steve began walking towards the streets of the town.

Even if the docks were empty, the city was mostly full with people. Being a trade hub for all of the Ritsma Continent, Nibawen was full of activity…however, when asking about it to the people in the city, they said that there were actually less people on the streets, as at this time of the year, it should be full of people. It also seems that people were just buying to get the last supplies they could get to prepare for hard times, as trade was HEAVILY limited right now.

After a few minutes of walking, they found a relatively empty restaurant that they liked.

-Music: Sleepless City - Treno (Final Fantasy 9 Soundtrack)-

"So… what are you going to order?" Asked Duncan… his voice showing some fear… as he knew what was next.

"I want a serving of EVERYTHING in the menu in LARGE sizes!" Exclaimed Kristal with joy. "It's been AGES since I had some good meal."

"Miss Kristal does enjoy eating, isn't it?" Asked Sapphire, laughing nervously at the young mage's eating habits.

"Y-yeah." Answered Vivian too.

"It will all go to your breasts, Kristal." Commented Steve, smirking. "Not that I'm against it, mind you…neither is Alan."

"Shut it, Steve!" Exclaimed Kristal with some anger.

"Don't get me into this, Steve." Expressed the human, blushing a little because of the comment of the young mage.

However, it was too late, as the 4 female companions, not counting the Kuriboh, looked at the mage with intrigue.

"Wait, what do you mean Mister Alan wouldn't mind too?" Asked Vivian with confusion. She was very innocent on this kind of stuff.

"Oh, you didn't know?" Asked Steve mischievously, causing Alan to enter in panic, and Duncan to sigh. "Alan LOVES women with large breasts."

"W-what?" Asked Sapphire with surprise. She, Vivian and Kristal blushed at this.

"S-Steve! Shut up!" Exclaimed Alan, feeling his face completely red with embarrassment and anger.

"Oh yes, he loves them." Steve didn't stop, and just keep on. "He REALLY must be glad to have you girls in this group. Maybe he even has dreams of touching them and sleeping in your breasts… or even doin-"

"BLIZZARA!"

The ice spell hit Steve's face, freezing his smirking face instantly. The young mage slowly fell back from his chair into the floor, revealing a very, VERY angry and flustered Alan on the other side of the table.

The girls didn't know how to react. Vivian and Sapphire didn't know of that, and while Kristal have already had the idea that Alan was interested in that, she didn't expect a confirmation… and Alan's reaction was confirmation enough.

He is a boob pervert.

"I-Is that true, Sir Alan?" Asked Sapphire shyly, feeling her blush deepen even more.

Alan's eyes twitched in panic. He didn't know what to do!

Run? No, they will ask him later.

Change the topic? Like that would be possible in this situation.

Lie? No, they will find out, and it WILL going to be worse if he do.

What could he say? He was in panic of what they would say if he said yes. Sure, he was more confidence in himself, but he still has low self-esteem when talking to women. He was REALLY worried the girls will hate him for that. If they got angry at him for liking their boobs…he doesn't know how he'll handle that.

But… he couldn't think of anything more, and the 4 girls looked at him, expecting an answer.

So… he just had one option.

"…yes… yes it's true."

The truth.

"B-but don't misunderstand!" Exclaimed Alan, trying to save himself from more humiliation. "I-I don't see you girls as walking breasts! You are all great girls, and I like you all!... N-NOT LIKE THAT!... well yes I do… but…I…I don't…"

Alan was just stuttering, and he knew it. He just didn't know what to say and NOT be judged. But the looks of the girls were more than enough. Sapphire and Vivian both evaded his eyes, not looking at him, their face completely red. He took that as if they were disappointed in him. And Kristal, while she was blushing, had a face mixed between embarrassment and anger, although Alan just could see the anger, and though she was angry at him, like she was with Steve.

It was the end. The girls will NEVER look at him normally again. His low self-esteem was kicking in and he was starting to feel bad, and panic filled his body. If they rejected him and don't want to see him again… he didn't know what he'll do.

He was sure they were going to reject him, like all the other girls he knew in his world have done in the past. His school traumas were being resurrected and he was feeling like the pressure was growing up. He wanted to flee, he wanted to cry, he wanted to… disappear…

He was…lost…

However, unlike his school days on Earth, there was a difference now… a busty redhead difference.

"Haha! Ye should hav said tath before, Friend Alan!" Exclaimed Rubina, grinning in joy, calling everyone's attention. "If yer wanted to grab and sleep on some big boobas, ye can have minez!"

'Wait what?...'

"W-what?!" Exclaimed Vivian, Sapphire and Kristal in confusion, looking at the redhead oni, who just keep smiling.

"Ye! Me don't mind it! Yer my best friend, Friend Alan!" Exclaimed Rubina. "So ya, ye can have mine! Ye can alzo grab my butt, if ye like tath too, Friend Alan."

"Wait, what?!" Asked Alan in confusion and surprise. Sure, he KNEW Rubina was very open with him, but didn't expected THAT!

"Sure, minez arnt as big as the blondie or the water maiden, but surely ye would enjoy dem!"

"H-hey! Mine's aren't small!" Exclaimed Vivian, completely flustered by the comment.

"Of course not! Yer big too, and sure Friend Alan will enjoy dem! But if ye all don't want him, he can have minez!"

"I…" started Alan, trying to understand what was happening. 'D-did Rubina really offered them… to me? What?'

"H-hold on!" Exclaimed Sapphire, getting up her chair and slamming the table. "Don't say that, Rubina! I didn't said I didn't want him to do that!"

"…WHAT?!" Asked Alan in surprise, now looking at the bustiest girl of the group.

Everyone now looked at Sapphire, who just was realizing what she just said… and her face immediately turned as red as a tomato.

"N-no! I d-didnt mean that!" Exclaimed the Water Maiden, backing away a little… before slumping on her chair. "I-I mean… I w-wouldn't mind if Sir Alan ask me to touch em… but I… I…"

"N-no way, Sapphire!" Exclaimed Vivian, her face really red too. "I wanted to do that too!"

"W-wait, WHAT?!" Asked Alan again, now looking at the less busty girl of the group (not counting Castanea), causing Vivian to realize what she just said and blush even more.

"I-I mean! D-don't misunderstand, mister Alan!" Expressed Vivian, playing with her fingers…claws. "I-is not that I like you b-but…I d-didn't gave you a r-reward for saving me from the winged beast group when we meet so… I…I wouldn't mind if y-you t-touch t-them…a l-little bit…"

Kristal looked at her companions and was VERY surprised. She didn't expect that they confessed that. She was going to deny even being interested…but then a flash in her mind made her remember when she woke up and saw she was holding him on her breasts back when they visit Nimb Town the first time weeks ago. At that though, a shiver roam through her body, and her blush intensified.

"I… I wouldn't…" said Kristal, before stopping herself from saying anything… but Alan did hear her stuttering.

He was just speechless. THIS was not the outcome he expected, and of course, he REALLY didn't believe it.

'D-did Sapphire and Vivian just said it was OK for me to touch their breasts? And was Kristal stuttering? Was she thinking the same?... is this real life?'

"Congrats, meatbag." Exclaimed Castanea with indifference… eating some potato chips that the waiter left them a few minutes ago. "Seems your harem is starting."

"W-what?! What harem?!" Asked Alan in surprise.

"I mean, the oni girl just said it was ok for you to touch her, the wind and water maidens said they wouldn't mind if you touch them, and the blondie mage seems like she is thinking it. You are a lucky one, meatbag." Said Castanea, eating more chips. "Thank Ra that I don't have a human body, or I would have offered my boobs to you to… just to see your reaction."

"W-wait, what?!"

"Yeah, like that."

Meanwhile, Steve, who just freed himself from the ice but heard everything, was getting lose to Duncan.

"Wow… you were right, Master." Expressed Steve in surprise, remembering that conversation they had on the Ghost Ship.

"Told you, my apprentice." Answered Duncan, with a peaceful face while his eyes were closed, taking a sip at his cup of tea. "Although I must admit, this was sooner than expected. Seems your joke to push Alan's buttons forced the girls to act and react."

"I see…" Said Steve, who REALLY didn't though his teasing will result in the 4 girls almost declaring themselves to the human. 'Lucky dude!'

Well, Alan now didn't knew what to do… although this was different than before. No longer did he feel pressure and anxiety. He was no longer in panic and his low self-esteem was of no importance. He was just… confused…

'Is… is this real? No… this MUST be a dream…'

And then… his world flashed and he saw everyone was a flame being, looking maliciously at him… before returning to normal.

'Wait… this situation… it CAN'T be true! I… I'm starting to believe that what Reed said… was true. Is Chaos REALLY using this situation so I just give in? Is he making me think the girls are interested in me? No, this CAN'T be true!... can it?'

He was slowly getting in panic mode, this time because of what Reed said. He took a step back, but he keep it to himself and stood his ground.

Alan was confused, Kristal, Vivian and Sapphire were flustered, Rubina was just grinning happily, and Duncan, Steve and Castanea were looking at the situation unfolding before their eyes. Everyone was silent, and didn't knew what to do…

…but someone interrupted their train of thoughts.

"Kristal? Is that you?"

A newcomer…

-Music End-

Alan, like the rest, turned to the entrance of the restaurant and saw a girl. A young woman, short in stature, probably the same height as Vivian and of her same age probably, was looking at them. The girl had dirty blondie hair, long, reaching her ankles, and tied in two large 'ponytails', and her skin was brown, with purple eyes. She had a great figure, and the size of her breasts were probably similar to Kristal's, which was impressive.

…then again, she looked JUST like Kristal, as the new girl also wore some kind of magician outfit, similar to Kristal's, but with more purple and magenta colors. She also had marks on her checks like Kristal's, but hers were brown and had a strange shape.

Is like Alan was seeing another version of a Dark Magician Girl…but with dark skin.

'Wait… I don't recognize her attire. Is she a Dark Magician Girl?' though Alan, not knowing who she was.

…but Kristal knew.

"Kuarzo?!" Exclaimed the blondie mage, getting up from her chair and looking at the newcomer.

The girl just smiled in joy, feeling some tears coming from her eyes… before she dashed and jumped at her.

"Kristal-neesan!"

'Wait, what?!'

-Music: Descendant of Shinobi - Yuffie's Theme (Final Fantasy 7 Soundtrack)-

Alan's thoughts stopped as he saw the dark skinned girl jumping and clashing on Kristal, hugging her while snuggling on her chest, as she was a little shorter than Kristal. The Dark Magician Girl herself hugged the younger girl, and was very happy to see her.

"Kuarzo! Is good to see you again!" Exclaimed Kristal.

"It's been several months!" Expressed the new girl, showing as much happiness as her.

Alan blinked in confusion, and turned to see his other companions. Vivian, Sapphire, Rubina and Castanea all had the same expression of confusion as him, but Duncan has a small smile plastered on his face…and Steve…

'Is… Is that FEAR?' Though Alan, looking at the face of the younger mage, who looked at the new girl with surprise and fear. 'Well, whoever she is, they know her.'

"Kristal-neesan! How have you been?!" Asked the new girl, looking at the taller blondie mage with joy. "Last I heard, you were on a mission to fix the Crystals! But when we heard they were breaking apart, I though you'll be in trouble!"

"Now, now, if you stop hugging me that hard, I'll be able to answer you." Responded the blondie mage, laughing nervously.

Everyone looked at them with confusion… until Sapphire decided to break the ice.

"Uh, miss Kristal, do you know this girl?" Asked the Water Sage with confusion.

The blondie mages looked at the group, and quickly separated themselves. Kristal put a hand on the other girl's shoulder and smiled.

"Sorry about that! I was just surprised to see her." Started Kristal, looking at each other. "Everyone, I want to introduce you all to Kuarzo, my younger sister."

"Hello!" Exclaimed the other girl, now identified as Kuarzo.

"What?!" Asked the 3 sages and the Kuriboh in unison, while the human and the two male mages remained silent.

"You never mentioned you had a sister, miss Kristal." Asked Vivian in confusion.

"Yeah, well, there was no need, actually." Said the Dark Magician Girl. "But yeah, she is my sister."

Alan was really confused. Yes, she was blondie, but her skin tone and her eye color were really different to Kristal's. They were different, but he kind of see the resemblance between the two.

'Meh, genetics, I suppose. One of her parents must have those characteristics. Also Kuarzo…Kristal… seems their names are based in gemstones or something. Anyway, this Kuarzo girl is really cute too… and busty. Neat!'

This girl Kuarzo look like a cheerful girl, somewhat like Kristal but more childlike. Her shorter stature compared to the Dark Magician Girl made her look cuter than normal.

"Nice to meet you, Kuarzo." Said Sapphire, standing from her chair and bowing a little. "My name is Sapphire, and I'm a Maiden of the Aqua and the Water Sage."

"And my name is Vivian, Harpie Girl and the Sage of the Winds." Said the young Harpie.

"Ahoy, mate! Name'z Rubina, a Thunder Nyan Nyan and da Sage of Thunder!" exclaimed the redhaired oni, with one leg on her chair.

"Castanea. Kuriboh. No one special." Said the furball with some indifference, eating another potato chip.

"Oh wow, three of the six Crystal Sages?" Asked the girl Kuarzo in surprise. "It's an honor to meet you all! And you too, miss Kuriboh."

"Same, little mage."

"Like my sister said, I'm Kuarzo, and I'm an Apprentice Illusion Magician. Nice to meet you all!"

Alan looked at her in confusion.

'Apprentice Illusion Magician? I don't remember that card. Maybe it's inspired in the Dark Magician Girl? I don't know.'

The young mage Kuarzo smiled, and then turned to look at Duncan. She jumped towards him.

"Hello, Master Duncan! It's good to see you again!"

"The feeling is mutual, Kuarzo." Said Duncan, with a small smile in his face. "Glad to see you are as energetic as always."

"Thank you, Master! Wait! If Kristal-neesan and Master Duncan are in here… then that means…"

Kuarzo turned around and look at everyone. Alan noticed that Steve was…walking away, trying to reach the exit as quick and silent as possible. Alan arched an eyebrow.

'Wait, why is Steve trying to flee?' Though Alan in confusion. 'I don't get-'

"Ohohoh! Steveeee~"

Alan looked back at Kuarzo… and saw that her expression changed so much. She now has a mischievous expression in her face, as she quickly approached the young mage, who just jumped in surprise at hearing his name. He slowly turned back, and saw how Kuarzo has walking towards him… and Alan noticed she was moving her hips WAY more than normal, in a sensual way.

'Whaaat's going on?' though Alan in confusion.

"Hello, Steve! Nice to see you again~" Said Kuarzo, and her voice changed a little, being more sensual than when she talked to everyone else. "Did you miss me? I missed you."

"Kuarzo. Hi there." Answered Steve, in a more stoic way.

"It's good to see you again! Say, since we meet again, we should celebrate!" Said Kuarzo… before grabbing her own breasts and squeezing them. "Why don't you grab my breasts? You can fondle them as MUUUCHH as you want~"

Alan blinked a couple of times again.

'Well, this is a completely 180. Kuarzo looked like an innocent girl but… she is a perv. Either that or she is in love with Steve. Well, since she is offering to him, I can see he will go and grab the-'

"BACK AWAY, YOU VILE WOMAN!" Exclaimed Steve in anger, backing away and pointing a finger at the girl. "I WOULDN'T TOUCH YOUR TITS EVEN IF THEY ARE THE LAST ONES IN THE PLANET! NEVER!"

Alan's eyes opened in shock.

'D-Did I heard right?' though the human in surprise. 'Did I heard Steve REFUSING to touch a busty girl's breasts? What? How? Was Kristal right and he got hit during his battle in the Ghost Ship? Is this another Steve? What?! I'M CONFUSED!'

He wasn't the only one. Everyone was surprised. Even the stoic Castanea was in shock. The only ones who weren't reacting like that were Duncan, who was indifferent and drinking his tea, and Kristal… who just face palmed and sighed in frustration.

"Awww, but I was WAITING for this moment." Expressed Kuarzo, getting closer to Steve. "You sure you don't want them?"

"NEVER! NOW GET AWAY!" Exclaimed Steve, taking another step backwards.

"Well this was unexpected." Commented Castanea, eating more potato chips. "Who would have though Steve, the mage who was crazy about touching almost every female, is saying no to a busty one."

"Oh, that is because they have a history." Said Duncan, calling everyone's attention.

"Kuarzo! Stop making fun of Steve!" Exclaimed Kristal in frustration, walking towards them. "Let him be!"

"Aww, but we're just having fun. Right, Steve?" Asked Kuarzo, leaving over towards Steve, so her breasts were dangling now, and she began to wiggle them for Steve's view. Steve just looked at her in disgust.

"Don't show me your sagging tits, woman!"

"How rude! My boobs are not sagging! They are the same as my sister's, and you love them!"

"Those are different!"

"It's the same!"

Seeing them bickering like that, Alan quickly moved to Duncan in search for answers.

"Duncan, please tell me what's going on. This is beyond all logic." Said Alan, his voice full of confusion and doubts.

"Like I said, they had a story." Said Duncan, still drinking his tea to relax, looking how Kuarzo and Steve were bickering at each other, while Kristal was close, trying to stop them. "Since Steve is Kristal's childhood friend, he obviously meet Kuarzo. Since they were little, they had an... interesting relationship."

"How so?"

"She bullied him."

"She what?"

"Kind off. They always competed, and Kuarzo always won. Steve was a bad looser and tried to win next time, but always lose. They are friends, but like Steve try to touch Kristal, Kuarzo want Steve to touch her. She acts like the big sister to Steve, and because of that, he has an aversion against her when she acts like that."

"So… she acts like a big sister to him, eh?"

"They have a strange relationship. Also, Kuarzo is… what was the expression? Boy crazy?"

"Boy crazy?"

"Yeah. I heard that she gets close to many males and insinuate herself like she does with Steve. If she likes the expression they made, she gets close to them."

"What expression she likes?"

"I have no idea. I do know she doesn't like when the male she is insinuating answers back with a same insinuation."

"So if he responds the same, then is a no-no for her."

"Yeah. Kristal told me it was because Kuarzo feels they were only interested in her body, so she just ignores them. Also, if they try something on her… well, she has the same magic power AND strength as Kristal, so she'll be fine."

"So beauty and powerful… very interesting. So the reason Steve doesn't want to touch her…"

"…is because he was so annoyed and made fun by her, he doesn't stand her when she acts like this. He knows she isn't in love with him, and just do this to tease him."

"Wait, how does HE know she is not in love?"

"Because she hasn't used that suffix on him."

"What suffix?"

Before he could continue, Alan noticed that the new girl, Kuarzo, was slowly walking towards them. He noticed that, while not as prevalent as when she was walking towards Steve, she walked somewhat sensual as she approached them… or more specifically, towards HIM.

"Ohh? And who is this guy?" Asked Kuarzo, stopping in front of Alan. "I haven't seen him before, and his clothes are strange."

"Oh, well, he is Alan, the human from another world." Answered Kristal nervously, not knowing how her sister will react.

"Oh! So you are the human? The one with the Chaos Keyblade?"

"Uh… yeah, I am." Answered the young human. "My name is Alan, Alan D. Hernandez."

"What does the 'D.' stands for?"

Alan unconsciously looked down at Kuarzo's breasts, and gulped a little, turning to another side.

"Nothing, nothing at all." Said Alan, hoping this girl didn't noticed that reaction.

Unfortunately for him… she did.

"Oh? Well, you are a cute one." Said Kuarzo, extending her hand to him. "Nice to meet you, Alan. Hope we can become good friends."

"Eh, like wise." Answered Alan, grabbing her hand and shaking it.

Kuarzo smiled sweetly, and Alan sighed in relief, knowing the situation was adverted...

"So… you like big boobs, right?"

Wait, what now?

"Ah?!" Asked Alan in confusion. "What? What do you mea-?"

"Well, that is why I am here." Said Kuarzo, smiling. "I heard your discussion from outside, and how someone named Alan loves big boobs, and how others wanted him to touch them, so I went inside to see who was it. Never though it will be my older sister." She said, looking back at her sister, smiling mischievously. "My, oh my, oneesan, so Steve's pervert side finally rubbed on you?"

"S-shut it, Kuarzo!" Exclaimed Kristal in anger and embarrassment. "Is not like that!"

"So… you don't want this Alan to touch your breasts?"

"Of course not! Why should I?"

"Still hating perverts, I see."

"Of course! And I don't approve of your way of acting! Don't be a pervert, sis!"

Kuarzo just stuck her tongue out innocently, before looking at Alan again.

"Anyway, so you are the one who loves big boobs, right?" Asked Kuarzo again, causing Alan to try to step back… but he remembered she was still holding his hand from the hand shake… and her grip was almost as strong as Kristal's.

"Ahh…ehh…"

"Yes, he loves them." Said Castanea with indifference, but eating even more potato chips, really interested in the events that were unfolding in front of her. "He is a closet boob pervert."

"Hey!" Exclaimed Alan in anger, looking at the Kuriboh… but then had to turn his look back at Kuarzo, who got close to him.

"Oh? So you like them, eh?" Said Kuarzo, before hugging Alan, pressing her breasts hard against his chest. "Well then, Mister Human, since Steve doesn't want them, and my sister doesn't want to lend hers, would YOU want to touch mine? You can fondle them as much as you want~"

Vivian and Sapphire opened their eyes in surprise, while Castanea and Rubina didn't really care. Kristal just face palmed again, and sighed. This was typical of Kuarzo, as she does the same with every male she meets. She will look at their reaction and then ignore them, not liking what she saw.

But Alan… well, he was again in panic mode. Another cute busty girl just shows up and was EVEN MORE open than Rubina. He knows what Duncan said, and that this girl did the same with other boys, since she was boy crazy. Still, he just didn't knew what to do.

His self-control was screaming 'NO!' and sounding alarm bells as crazy…but his mind was saying 'Do it! You are a man! JUST DO IT!'

He just didn't knew what to do, so he was just sweating nervously, and began stuttering.

"Ahh! Well… no…I mean yes!... no wait, no! I… well… Ah…" Said Alan… or at least tried to, as he was a nerve wreck right now.

After all that happened in the last 10 minutes with his female companions, the arrival of Kuarzo and her insinuations was too much for him.

Suddently, Kuarzo's expression changed. The once sensual and somewhat lusty expression, was changed by surprise, that slowly grew up more and more… before she blushed and smiled in joy, as her eyes seems to spark a little.

"That is it! That is the expression I was searching for!" Exclaimed Kuarzo, confusing everyone… specially Kristal.

"Wait, what now?" Asked Kristal in confusion.

"You look ADORABLE acting so nervous with me! No other boy has reacted like this! That means that you ARE interested in my body, but are too shy and honorable to say anything! I love it! You are the boy I was waiting for!"

"I… wait, what?" Asked Alan. He was slowly getting a headache with all of this confusing things.

"Are all humans like this? Do they act like you?"

Kuarzo released Alan, and she began inspecting him, looking at his chest, his arms, his legs, and even his butt, causing the human to react and try to back away.

"Hey!" Exclaimed Alan, when she tried to touch his butt.

"That reaction was what I wanted, yes!" Said Kuarzo, eyes closed and nodding to herself. "It's official: I will follow you in your quest!"

"Hold on! What are you talking about?" Asked Alan in confusion.

"It means I found my special one! And as such, I will follow you from now on… Alan-kun!"

"WHAAT?!" Exclaimed Kristal, slamming the table so hard that it broke with ease.

Steve's jaw touched the floor, while Duncan, still drinking his tea, arched an eyebrow in surprise. Sapphire's face turned red at this, and Kristal was very, VERY flustered. Kuarzo just walked and hugged Alan's left arm, pressing her large breasts on it, almost sandwich his arm with them. While Alan was very embarrassed about it, he managed to think of something.

'-kun? –oneesan? Why is she speaking with Japanese suffixes?' Though Alan in confusion. "Uh, what?"

"That I will follow you now on, Alan-kun." Said Kuarzo, just hugging him and enjoying the feeling.

"Uh… why are you calling me –kun? I don't get it." Asked the young man, very confused about the use of the word. "That's not how you use that, right? So why…?"

"She fell in love with you, Alan." Said Duncan, calling everyone's attention.

"What?!"

"I don't get it." Said Vivian in confusion. "Why is everyone so worked up about her calling him like that?"

"Yah, what'z up with that?" asked Rubina. "Iz it like me saying Friend Alan or the water mage calling him Sir?"

"Oh no, it's more than that." Said Duncan, taking a sip on his cup of tea while explaining. "You see, in the Spellcaster's culture, if a spellcaster truly loves someone, they'll call their partner '-kun' or '-chan', depending on the gender or how they identify. Normally '-kun' is for males, while '-chan' is for females, but it's not a hard rule."

"Wait… you mean…" started Alan, finally grasping what they were saying.

"Generally speaking, is like calling the person you love 'dear' or 'honey'."

"That's right, 'dear'!" Said Kuarzo, smiling sweetly. "From now on, I will follow you forever, A-lan-kun~"

Alan's eyes opened in surprise, before looking at the rest of the group. Sapphire was blushing, same as Vivian once she learned what it meant. Rubina was smiling like she won the lottery, and Castanea was intrigued, eating her potato chips. Steve's jaw descended even more, breaking the floor and going into the floor below, while Duncan just took another sip on his tea. Kristal… well, she was surprised, angry, flustered and…was kind of shaking a little. He doesn't know what that feeling the blondie mage was showing. And the new girl Kuarzo… well, she just keep hugging his left arm, and smiling sweetly.

He looked at everyone, and didn't know what to say. All of this has happened WAY too fast…and Castanea´s comment didn't help.

"And so, the meatbag's harem is born!"

His headache just grew even larger…

Chapter 22 Preview:

Alan: Hello! Alan here! ... I... I dont know what is going on. This Kuarzo girl is CRAZY...and who are you?

?: You... are...under a spell...

Don't miss the next chapter of The N-Warriors: Shadow Realm Saga: What is the Truth?

Alan: Ahh! No! This... THIS IS ALL A LIE!


Author Notes:

And another chapter is DONE!

So in escence, the Mist that trapped the ship was magical, and it was made so ships can't escape easily. It warp them arround the world, and that is why they arrived at the Ritsma continent, although they can only try and think of theories. But they will be back on their tracks soon.

So yeah, while the girls had the idea Alan liked large breasts, Steve and Alan's reaction only confirmed it. Vivian and Sapphire aren't actually angry, they are just shy in their reaction, and Kristal...well, she just doesnt know what to think. But to Alan's point of view, since he has low self-steem with women, can only see their reactions in a negative way... until Rubina's reaction and the girl's reaction after that dispel all of his worries... and then add others, as he is slowly seeing the "you are being lied, Alan" by Reed making more sense.

Also... Kristal's sister! :D

She is a new one. In the original fic, Kristal had no sister. I wanted to add the Apprentice Illusion Magician in the fic, and since she looks SO MUCH like the Dark Magician Girl...well, I added her as a sister... of sorts. You'll see in the next chapter.

Kaurzo's name is based on Quarzo, the spanish word for Quarz, just like Kristal's name is inspired on Cristal, the spanish word for Crystal.

Unlike Kristal, who is more conservative, Kuarzo is boy crazy and a perv. She was actually searching for her soulmate, and the way she does is by seeing the reaction of the boy she is interested in. This is because Kuarzo can read the eyes of people, and read their feelings and internal struggles. You know, that "the eyes are the window of the soul" and all that thing. Well, Kuarzo can read it, and she uses this to search for her soulmate, in this case finding Alan, who's reaction make her fall in love with him...sort of.

And yes, she is the only woman Steve will NEVER touch in his life. She annoyed him so much in their childhood that, while still friends, he just can't approach her.

What did you though of her? XD

Anyway, hope you liked this funny chapter...next one will be a mixed one...

See ya next time!
