Hello readers! Chapter 125 is here! This week, Link is still trying to prevent MAGIS from sleeping with him, but now with Sheeva trying to track the maid down, what can be done to stop this? Read and find out!
"I have this strange feeling within me..."
"Like something I lost has come back to me..."
"But is it something I want to see again..."
"Or something I wanted to escape from...?"
"Lady Nabooru, where are you going at this hour?" a palace guard asked.
"Just keep an eye on things here for me, I have to find my naked king." Nabooru said leaving out Gerudo Palace's entrance with her twin scimitars. Without waiting for a response from the guards she leaped down the staircase and sprinted out into town to track down Sheeva, MAGIS and Link.
"I already had a guard take a message to Sarami to request help with Sheeva, but I still need to find them all before something bad goes down." Nabooru muttered.
As she ran down one street, Nabooru felt a presence above her, and looked up just in time to see Sheeva leap gracefully from one rooftop to another. The Gerudo leader noted a flag pole hanging from one building and leaped up to grab it with both hands. She spun around on it to build up velocity, before launching herself high into the air and landing in front of the wolf woman.
"Sheeva!" Nabooru shouted, "Stop what you're doing and get back to the palace this instant!"
"Don't... tell me what to do... Lady Nabooru. I'm not... going to rest until I put a stop... to that rebel." Sheeva spoke.
Nabooru could see Sheeva was panting out a bit and sweating, her pregnancy was taking it's toll on her stamina, "Don't be foolish. You remember what happened the last time you rushed in like this? You wound up with a mind-control helmet on your head that forced you to try and kill Link."
Sheeva growled and stuck out her claws, "I can handle things this time, now back off! You may have defeated me once, but I won't back down!"
"..." Nabooru was about to unsheathe her scimitars, but then took a look down at Sheeva's round stomach. She stared at it, knowing that Sheeva and Link's children were growing in there.
And in that moment, the Gerudo leader thought about a thriving kingdom with many joyous people celebrating a festival, and a small boy holding up a flower and sporting a big happy smile...
When Nabooru snapped out of it, she looked around to see Sheeva had disappeared. The Gerudo leader put a hand to her forehead and sighed, before going off to track the wolf woman down.
"Please desist running Master Link, and allow me to pleasure you."
"For the thousandth time, I'm not gonna let you do that!"
"But you have only said it thirty seven times, not one thousand."
Link groaned and continued to sprint through the streets of Gerudo Town with MAGIS hot on his trail, trying to figure out a way to get away from her. His attempts to hide in houses or pots proved pointless, as MAGIS was able to pick up on his location through her scanning functions and oddly placed chest lights. He knew not even getting to the palace would do any good at this point, he just had to keep running.
The young king eventually reached the central plaza of the town. Link gasped out as he leaned against a palm tree. He had been running around aimlessly for what felt like hours to get away from the automation maid and was exhausted.
"There you are Master Link." MAGIS approached him, "I fail to grasp your reasons for fleeing from me, but I shall not give up on my command. It would be unfitting of me as a loyal maid."
"Damnit... I gotta keep moving before she does something we'll both regret..." Link groaned. He turned to escape, but MAGIS leaped up and shot out both of her arms, managing to surround and hold him against the palm tree, "Gack! Wait MAGIS, I-!"
MAGIS was now right before Link, staring up at him with her deadpan golden eyes which shinned in the moonlight overhead, her soft naked breasts pressed firmly against his own bare chest.
The young king gulped, the urges deep within to give into her advances were getting harder for him to ignore. He had to admit if the circumstances had been different, he would have taken her into bed without a second thought...
But remembering she was doing this purely by his command, he couldn't allow that. If he was going to make love to her, it would need to be a genuinely mutual choice for her.
"MAGIS, please... I can't..." Link whispered.
But then they heard a loud howling in the night, and they both looked up to see standing on a rooftop was Lady Sheeva, glaring down at MAGIS with piercing blue wolf eyes. She snarled as she leaped into the air and came down at MAGIS. The maid instinctively leaped away, giving them plenty of distance apart.
"Sheeva?" Link exclaimed, "What are you doing out here?!"
"You..." Sheeva growled at MAGIS as she stood between the maid and Link, "You're really are aligned with those fiends in the Ebony Sisterhood, aren't you?"
'Huh? How did she find out about that?' Link thought, he shouted out, "Sheeva wait, she's not-!"
"Affirmative Mistress Fluffy-Tail." MAGIS nodded with a bow, she spun her upper torso around and tilted to the left with a hand raised up, "While I currently serve the people of Gerudo Palace, my primary orders come from the great Mother Eclipsis and the supreme ultimate commander of engineering awesomeness, Meokuro."
"So it is true..." growled Sheeva, "You're a minion of those horrible monsters that made my pack sick and die... and tried to turn me into a feral monster! I can't forgive them, or anyone who swears loyalty to them!" she brandished her claws, "I'll atone for not being able to protect Link back during the rebel attack, and stop you from hurting him!"
"Sheeva wait, think about your-!" Link started.
But Sheeva lunged out at MAGIS with her claws, and the maid jumped out of the way. Sheeva swung her claws to the side, so MAGIS brought up her arms to block it off. Sheeva quickly spun around and delivered a roundhouse kick right into MAGIS, who went sliding backwards in a cloud of dust. MAGIS seemed to disregard Sheeva's attack though, as she shot right at Link with the intention of still having sex with him.
"You won't touch him!" Sheeva shouted, jumping out in front of Link and blocked off the maid's arms.
"Beeeeeeewoooop." MAGIS muttered as the antennae on her head shifted,, "Analyzing Mistress Fluffy-Tail's attack strength. Initiating disarming maneuver."
MAGIS stepped backwards at a distance and fired off her extendable limbs, but Sheeva managed to evade each attack that came at her. Sheeva noted she was clenching her hands in a groping motion as the maid fired them off at her chest.
"You fiend... you're actually trying to rip my heart from my chest?" Sheeva asked, "I'll tear your own black heart out with my teeth first!"
"Actually, I'm attempting to pacify you with a body massage, so that I may make hot sexy loving to Master Link." MAGIS clarified, "And your big, soft mammary glands make perfect targets to start on."
"Huh...?" Sheeva stopped in her tracks and stood blankly for a moment, "D-Don't try to confuse the issue! I won't allow you to hurt him!"
Sheeva lunged out and swiped her claws with such force that she fired off her Wind Slash technique, sending waves of blade-like wind right at MAGIS. The maid quickly flipped away from each blade that came at her and leaped backwards onto the roof of a building, aiming her arms at the wolfos leader.
"Pinpointing best potential groping points... fire." MAGIS said, shooting out her limbs at Sheeva with her hands ready to grope and massage her into submission.
Sheeva ran forward, sidestepping each limb, leaping up into the air and swiping both her claws down at MAGIS, who quickly darted away in a split second and reappearing behind the wolf queen. MAGIS reached out with her hands to grab at her breasts from behind, but Sheeva fell down to her hands and brought up her legs, grabbing MAGIS in-between them and did a spinning maneuver to launch the maid through the air.
Link meanwhile was watching the pregnant half-wolf woman battling against the limb-extending automation maid girl. As absurd as the situation was, she needed to make it stop. Link shouted out to the wolf-woman, "Sheeva please stop! You need to rest!"
But Sheeva was too preoccupied with battling against MAGIS, swiping her claws and firing off Wind Slashes to take her down. The maid managed to evade most of the slashes, but was struck by a few of the last ones which sent her flying backwards. She fired off her limbs in an attempt to subdue Sheeva, but the wolfos evaded each attack.
Link was at a loss of what to do, he could see Sheeva was starting to sweat more due to the exertion she was putting on herself. It wasn't too different to when she had pushed herself so hard back when she was under the influence of the rebel's power tonic. It had taken a severe toll on the wolf woman's body, and had she not been given the Beast Goddess Uvooru's blessing, would have died that day.
The young king stared at Sheeva's pregnant stomach, he couldn't bare to think of what effect this could have on not just the wolf woman, but their children as well... He couldn't bare to see her fight like this anymore.
Link took a deep breath, and released a loud shout that echoed loudly through the area,
"STOOOOOOP!"
Meanwhile in a certain room of Gerudo Palace, a nurse had come in to check on the sole occupant, Esolu. She was laying back on the bed, still in her coma from what had happened back in the canyon. She had struggled to find and call out to Link while he was under the influence of the Fierce Deity, and collapsed shortly afterwards.
The nurse checked on Esolu's pulse to see with relief that she was still in stable condition, but knew Dr. Sarami still expressed a great deal of worry about what would happen if she didn't wake and give birth soon.
"The poor thing... will she ever awaken...?" the nurse whispered, running a hand along her cheek.
But just then, the nurse heard a man's voice shout out and echo through the town. The sound carried into the room through the window.
"STOOOOOOP!"
"Huh? Was that King Link?" the nurse asked herself.
"Mmm..."
The nurse then heard a stirring, as she looked down with surprise to see Esolu's hand start to move, and the child-bearer's eyes slowly began to open.
"Esolu?" the nurse exclaimed with excitement.
"..." Esolu blinked a few times, looking slowly over at the window, she gulped a bit as she opened her mouth, and something the nurse never expected happened,
"L... Link?"
"W-What?" the nurse spoke, "Did you just-?"
But then Esolu's eyes widened as she clutched at her pregnant stomach, her legs fidgeting as she started feeling immense amounts of pain.
"Esolu, what's happening?!" the nurse asked, she checked below the child-bearer's stomach and realized what it was, and she called out loudly in a panic,
"Everyone, come quick!"
Back at the plaza, Sheeva gasped out as she stood staring down at MAGIS, who despite some injuries stood perfectly still. A light breeze blew through the plaza, causing Sheeva's long white hair to flow with it.
"Sheeva, please calm down." Link said, "MAGIS isn't a threat, she's just-"
But Sheeva was too furious to listen and darted out at MAGIS. The maid leaped to the side to evade the attack and thrust her groping hands out at the wolf woman. Sheeva backflipped away from the attack and fired off another Wind Slash at her. Despite MAGIS' best effort to evade the attack though, she was still struck by some of the blades and fell over.
"That's enough, don't do this anymore!" Link shouted, grabbing Sheeva by her arm and squeezing it, "Think of our children!"
Sheeva hesitated at Link's firm but gentle grip, but turned to MAGIS and growled.
"I apologize Link, but this ends now!" Sheeva shouted, she charged at MAGIS as she was starting to get up and bashed her across her body with a swipe of her claws, sending the maid crashing and rolling across the ground until she laid still. Sheeva then leaped into the air and brought both of her claws out, coming down for a final strike at MAGIS as she laid on the ground.
"SHEEVA!" Link shouted, dashing forward to stop her.
"Emergency... danger threat level increasing..." MAGIS muttered, the antennae on her head started to shift, as her eyes focused on Sheeva, "Preparing to initiate..."
But just before anything else could happen, a new figure leaped into the air and delivered a flying kick right into Sheeva's face, sending the wolfos woman off course and landing to her feet. She brought herself up to see who had just attacked her.
"Lady Nabooru," Sheeva growled, "So you still won't back off."
"Link's right Sheeva, please stop this before anyone else gets hurt!" Nabooru shouted.
"Nabooru, great timing!" Link said.
"Sorry about not coming here sooner." Nabooru said, looking at Link's nude body and smirking with amusement at the thought that he had been running around like that, before turning back to Sheeva and narrowing her eyes, "But I'm here to put a stop to all this."
"Please step aside Lady Nabooru," Sheeva growled, "I said before if you get in my way I will not hold back."
"I'm not here to fight you Sheeva, please stop this and let's go back to the palace." Nabooru said.
"But that maid works for the vile monsters that hurt and killed my tribe, and they've caused you and your people a great deal of pain as well. Why would you defend her?" Sheeva retorted.
"Listen Sheeva. I understand how you feel, but revenge is not the answer." Nabooru said, "I'm not doing this to protect MAGIS, I just want you to stop endangering the lives of your and Link's children."
"Our children are strong, and they'll be just fine." Sheeva spoke, "I must strike down that maid before she can hurt my mate, like her masters did to me and my kin."
But then Link came running up and giving Sheeva a hard slap across the face, surprising her.
"Link...?" the wolf woman spoke.
"Damnit Sheeva, this has gone on far enough." Link said, "MAGIS isn't trying to hurt me, she's just confused due to the errors caused by her automation limbs! She's in no different of a position as you were when Meokuro put you under that mind control!"
"What...?" Sheeva spoke in surprise, looking over at the injured maid, "Is that true...?"
"He's right, the automation limbs cause extreme mental deterioration that can remove one's emotions and memories." spoke up a new voice, as Dr. Sarami came walked up to the plaza. Accompanied by her was a team of nurses with medical equipment.
"Ah, there you are Sarami!" Nabooru said with a smirk.
"Yes, I came as soon as I could Nabs." Sarami said. She glanced to see Link in the nude, and she giggled, "Though if I had known Link was out like this I would had tried to come sooner."
Link rolled his eyes and blushed heavily as the nurses all giggled and whispered to themselves.
Sarami then turned to Sheeva with a cross stare, "As for you Sister Sheeva, you have a lot to explain!"
"T-There's nothing to explain, I'm just fine..." Sheeva spoke shaking her head.
"I'll be the judge of that." Sarami said with stern tone, "Oooh, I can't believe you did something so irresponsible like this!"
"I was just trying to protect Link and-" Sheeva started, but Sarami bonked her on the nose with her clipboard, making the wolf woman yelp lightly.
"That's no excuse for someone in your condition to behave, bad girl!" Sarami said waving her finger scoldingly at Sheeva, causing the wolf woman to whimper and fold her ears back, "Now let me make sure you didn't hurt yourself or your children!"
"Very well..." Sheeva sighed. As Sarami looked her over, she turned to see Link help MAGIS up to her feet.
"Hey, you alright there MAGIS?" Link asked with concern, surprising Sheeva.
"Yes, is your head on straight now?" Nabooru asked.
"A-Affirmative Master Link, Mistress Nabooru..." MAGIS muttered, "I believe my battle with Mistress Fluffy-Tail has managed to correct my command errors."
"Well that's a fortunate coincidence." Nabooru nodded, "As funny as it would be to hear about you and Link doing it in the middle of town, I'm glad you're functioning normally again."
"Y-Yes, my bad." MAGIS said bowing.
"Hey Link! Big news!" shouted a loud voice, as everyone looked up just in time to see Aviel divebombing right into Link's forehead,, causing the two to go stumbling over to the ground.
"Ugh... glad to see you're finally up Aviel." Link groaned rubbing his forehead.
"Huh? Why you naked Link? You wanna do it here in the plaza or somethin'?" Aviel asked, starting to remove her top.
"No way!" Link shouted, pulling it back down over her chest.
"Aviel, what's this big news you have for us?" Nabooru asked.
"Oh right! It's Esolu, she just woke up, and she's going to go to work!" Aviel shouted.
"HUH?!"
"Esolu's actually woken up from her coma?!" Link asked in shock.
"Yep!" Aviel nodded.
"Hold on, what do you mean 'go to work'?" spoke Nabooru in confusion, "What does that mean?"
"I dunno, the servants got me up and told me to get you over to her room, something about her getting labor!" Aviel said.
"Labor...? Wait, you mean she's going into labor?!" Nabooru exclaimed, "That means she's going to have her baby now!"
"Eeeehhh?! Oh right, that makes way more sense!" Aviel exclaimed.
"Esolu..." Link spoke with wide eyes, feeling his spirits lifted, "I gotta go see her!"
"Oh dear, this is troublesome" Sarami said, "I'd like to assist in the birthing process, but I have to help Sister Sheeva at the moment!"
"...!" Sheeva felt tinge of guilt over those words, "Listen you can just leave me to-"
"Allow me Dr. Sarami." spoke up MAGIS, doing a polite bow, "Among my programmed functions include performing child-delivery. I'll bring Link there as well."
"...okay, I'll leave them to you!" said Dr. Sarami, a thought occurred to her, "Here Link-honey, put this on." she pulled off and handed him her lab coat, "Just so you can be there without the nurses passing out!" she said with a mischievous wink.
"Ah heh heh..." Link chuckled, buttoning the coat on over his body. He was lifted up in MAGIS' arms.
"Now let us go." MAGIS said, thrusting her leg parts and leaping into the air with Link towards the palace, with Aviel following after with her bird wings.
As Sarami was giving her an examination to make sure she wasn't injured, Sheeva watched MAGIS protectively carry Link off across the building roofs towards the palace, and she found herself whispering softly,
"Good luck..."
Esolu was currently having a huge fit in her room, the nurses and servants were doing everything they could to help her with the birthing process, Even Ragome and Leivuri were there to try and console her.
But the royal child-bearer was in ridiculous amounts of pain, thrashing her head around and opening her mouth widely as if she was trying to scream, but due to being a mute no words could come out. She was squeezing at a small trinket in her hand that she hadn't let go of since she first fell into the coma weeks ago.
"Considering she has been overdue for so long while unconscious, its no wonder she's going through this much pain!" said one nurse.
"Please, someone calm her down!" exclaimed another.
"Esolu, cut it the hell out! I got through this to have my twins, so I know you can too!" Ragome shouted gripping her hand, but Esolu was closing her eyes tightly and shaking her head left and right, bashing Ragome in the face as she did, "Gack!"
"Here, drawing gives her some comfort when she's stressed! Maybe this will help!" said Leivuri handing Esolu her sketch pad and pencil.
Esolu yanked the sketch pad out of her hands and started quickly drawing something. She annoyingly held up the sketch to the nurses and servants and they all looked absolutely revolted at the picture.
"Is that supposed to be my spleen?!" exclaimed a servant.
"Don't be like that Esolu, they're just trying to help you give birth to your child!" assured Leivuri.
"Come on, do some deep breathing!" Ragome said with her fists pumped, she noticed one of the servants started breathing in and out as much as she could, "I don't mean you!"
"We need more help, she's too out of control!" said a nurse.
Fortunately, leaping in through the window of the room just then was MAGIS, carrying Link in her arms, with Aviel flying in right after.
"Link?!" exclaimed Leivuri. "Thank the goddesses you're here!"
"Uh, why you wearin' that coat?" Ragome asked in confusion.
"Esolu, we're here for you!" Link shouted out, full of happiness to see her awake again, but worried about her condition.
"Step aside, I will handle this." MAGIS said moving a nurse away. The antennae on her head shifted around as she looked Esolu's body over "Now scanning expectant woman's condition... Beeeewoooop, beeeewoooop..."
"Is she gonna be okay Ms. Maggie?" Aviel asked sadly, "Can you do anything for her?"
MAGIS stopped for a moment, looking rather startled abut something.
"What's the matter MAGIS?" Link asked.
"...never mind, let's begin the procedure." MAGIS said, she applied alcohol on her hands to cleanse them of the dirt and grime she got from outside and put on some rubber gloves, "Please see to it Mistress Esolu stays stable so that I may properly begin."
"Right." Link nodded, going over to Esolu's side and gripping her left hand, "Esolu, you need to calm down so you can get through this!"
At the feeling of Link's warm hands over hers, Esolu stopped thrashing around and looked up to him, "...?"
"It's okay Esolu." Link said with tears forming in his eyes, "I'm so sorry about what happened before... but I need you to be strong right now so you can deliver our child!"
Leivuri grasped Esolu's right hand, "Yes, don't worry Esolu! You've been with us since the beginning of our child-bearer training. You helped support both me and Ragome through our pregnancies, and now it's our turn to support you!"
Ragome meanwhile put her hands down on Esolu's shoulders, "That's right, I've heard about yer life before you met us, that you were a patrolman for the guards, and you were a real strong fighter! Well, then keep fighting Esolu, for yer child!"
"You can do it Esolu..." Link said, "We're all here for you."
Esolu just stared up into Link's eyes for a moment, before she nodded with determination. She held up her sketch book to show a drawing of a penguin in army clothes saluting.
"That's the way." Link grinned, seeing Esolu was back to her senses, "Now go for it!"
The pregnant woman closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and did just as MAGIS instructed her. The pain for her was excruciating, but Ragome did her best to hold down her friend as Link and Leivuri both gripped her hands. Aviel gathered whatever they needed for the treatment, while the nurses wee quick to give the woman water and wipe off her sweat.
As the process continued on, Nabooru, Nemisa, Saria and Sarami eventually arrived to help anyway they could. Sheeva had already been taken care of and brought to her bedroom for rest, so Sarami was now on hand to assist MAGIS with her birthing process.
"Steady breathes Ms. Esolu!" Sarami told her, "Don't forget your child-bearer training!"
"The child is coming along nicely. But we need to replace these towels." MAGIS spoke.
"Here, I got you some more for you!" Saria said, running up to Sarami and MAGIS with so many towels that they were spilling out of her hands, "Is Esolu doing oka-?"
Saria then saw what was going on between Esolu's legs, and she screamed out in surprise, sending the towels flying everywhere as she fainted.
"Looks like Saria learned something new today." Nemisa said sweatdropping.
After what seemed like forever, they were getting to the final moments of the delivery. Despite the stress and worry everyone was going through, MAGIS remained calm as usual.
"Sister MAGIS, you're doing so well with this!" Sarami said in astonishment.
"It is expected of an all-purpose maid like myself." MAGIS stated, "You are doing efficiently Mistress Esolu, now please give one final push."
"..." Esolu gulped and panted, unable to take the pain for much longer.
"Come on Esolu, you can do this!" Link said, squeezing her hand.
Esolu stared at Link and nodded, she closed her eyes and gave one final push with all her strength. The pain was so severe that she opened her mouth, and let out something the others thought they would never hear; she screamed out as loudly as she could.
"aaaaaaaaAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
"Woah, she made noise!" Aviel gasped out.
Link's eyes widened at the sound of her voice, it reminded him of what he had heard back in the canyon when he was under his trance from the Fierce Deity. It was a clear, almost harmonious cry that resonated with his very soul. He could feel a single tear roll down his face at hearing her voice.
"She's never done that before!" Leivuri gasped out.
MAGIS in that moment froze up at the shout, looking slowly up to see Esolu crying out. She stared at her for what seemed like the longest time. Much like Link, something about the voice brought out strange sensations from deep within her...
"MAGIS, are you okay?" Sarami asked, snapping her out of it.
"I... I... I'm fine. My bad." MAGIS spoke, shaking her head and going back to the delivery.
It wasn't long after that the panic and chaos in the room was silenced, and replaced with the mewling cry of a new born life that had come into the world.
"Mission complete." MAGIS said, "Infant successfully delivered."
"Congratulations Esolu, Link-honey!" Sarami said gleefully, holding up the crying infant in a cloth and handing it to the new mother, "You have a healthy baby daughter!"
"...!" despite not being able to say a word, everyone could see the absolute joy Esolu was experiencing as she held her first child. The baby seemed to calm down greatly being in it's mother's embrace.
"Esolu, I knew you could do it." Link sported a small smile, overjoyed at the sight of Esolu being awake again, and seeing his newest daughter. He gave the new mother a kiss on the lips, "And thank you for saving me before."
"..." Esolu simply gazed up at Link and smiled back.
"Oooh! We're so happy to have you back Esolu!" Leivuri said hugging her cheerfully, "And now all three of us have bared the first of Link's royal daughters!"
"She's so lovely Link..." Nemisa spoke, putting a hand to his shoulder, "You should be proud."
"I am." Link looked up to Nemisa with a smile, putting his hand over hers, "And I look forward to when I'll be with you through all of your own pregnancies."
"Yes..." Nemisa said with a heavy blush, seeing the happiness in Esolu's eyes, and found herself wanting to feel that same bliss as soon as she could as well.
"You did fine work, all of you." Nabooru nodded with a smirk, "Another new life has been brought into our home, and certainly not the last. Despite how bleak our people's lives were so long ago, we've defied that fate that we thought was set for us, and I think more and more that our people's future will truly shine."
"So whatcha gonna name her Link?" Aviel asked, who was in the middle of fanning off Saria with her wings after she had fainted.
"Me and Esolu discussed it a while back before she fell into that coma," Link said, as Esolu held up a few pages from her sketch pad with numerous female Gerudo names on it, "Uh, took us a while to finally pick one... but we've decided to call her Noleire."
"Oh, that's just a precious name." Nabooru said with a smile, "I hope the best for you and your daughter Esolu."
"..." Esolu bowed her head to Nabooru, holding up a sketch she did of a pile of baby penguins.
"Ah-ha ha ha!" Nabooru laughed out, "No need to feel like you have to have more children so soon! Take your time and rest for a while. Believe me, Link has plenty of backup ladies these days!"
Nabooru glanced over to the doorway, where about six new scandalously-clad Gerudo girls were all swooning over Link holding his new daughter with hearts in their eyes.
"Lady Nabooru, you do know Link is just one man right?!" Nemisa asked sweatdropping.
"Heeey guys...?" Aviel asked looking around, "I just noticed something, but where did Mollie go?"
"You mean MAGIS? Yes, where did she go off to?" Nemisa asked suspiciously.
"I'll go look for her." Link said, handing Noleire over to Sarami so she could give her a proper examination, and giving Esolu a loving kiss, before going off out the door.
"King Link really seems to care about that maid rebel." a nurse commented, "Is she like, one of his fiances or something?"
"It's because he understands her and what she's going though." Nabooru said, "As for being a fiance..."
She bared a light smirk, "I suppose we'll just have to wait and see."
"Ah, there you are!" Link said, having tracked MAGIS to his bedroom. She was in the middle of changing into her maid dress, pulling the stockings up to her thigh when he entered, "I figured you'd come back here for your outfit."
"It would be unfitting of me as a maid to not wear my uniform." MAGIS said putting on her shoes, she spun her upper torso around and tilted herself to the side, "Of course if you truly desire I can perform my duties in the nude."
"T-That's not necessary." Link said sweatdropping.
"Well, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to begin my daily cleaning of the palace." she said with a bow.
"Wait MAGIS!" Link stopping her, "How about you take a rest, I was wondering if we could talk about... I dunno, stuff?"
"Stuff? Very well Master Link." MAGIS said, doing a polite curtsy.
The two of them sat out on the balcony of Link's bedroom, staring at the vast desert valley surrounding Gerudo Town. It was approaching morning, as the sun was just barely starting to peak up from behind the mountains far in the distance, and the sky was turning shades of purple, yellow and red.
"I fail to find the practicality of what we're doing over me cleaning." MAGIS said.
"Come on, just take a sec to enjoy this." Link grinned.
"As you wish." MAGIS nodded.
"You know, usually I sleep straight through the morning, but it's always nice when I can find time to be awake for the sunrise." Link said, "Back when I first came to Gerudo Valley I used to think the desert was just a harsh and barren wasteland. I could never understand how the Gerudo people could live out in a place like this. But while the desert can be brutal at times, there can also be a certain beauty to it too."
"..." MAGIS glanced to Link as he gazed out at the sky. She cleared her throat, "Master Link, I wish to apologize for my actions earlier today. My errors seemed to have caused you and your friends a great deal of trouble, and I endangered the condition of Mistress Fluffy-Tail and your children..."
"Oh, it's no big deal. Sarami said Sheeva's fine, she was mostly worn out from her pregnancy and just needed some rest." Link assured her, "Anyway, you made up for it big time just now by helping Esolu give birth. I can't thank you enough for that."
"I... only did what was expected of me..." MAGIS spoke.
Link glanced over at MAGIS, staring at her for the longest time, before leaning forward and giving her a simple kiss on the cheek.
"Either way, I'm happy you were there for her." Link said smiling deeply.
"M-Master Link..."
"Huh?"
Initially, Link wasn't expecting MAGIS to react at all to the kiss. He just wanted to show his appreciation to her.
But what surprised him was that even with her maintaining a deadpan expression, she had a light redness to her face. She brought up her hand to touch her cheek where he had kissed her.
"I... know it now..."
"What do you mean MAGIS?" Link asked with concern, "What do you know now?"
"... … ...Fubel."
"Huh?" Link asked.
"I am not entirely sure why, but I became aware of something I thought I had forgotten long ago. My true name is... Fubel." the maid said.
Link gasped out in astonishment at this news, he wondered what could have happened to trigger her memory, 'Did the battle with Sheeva jog her memory, could it had been the kiss he gave her just a second ago, or maybe something else...?'
"Fubel... that's a really cute name." Link smiled warmly, "Do you remember anything else by chance?"
The maid now known as Fubel shook her head, "Negative. It's just my name that's come to me." she put a hand to her chest, "It's strange, that's all I remember... but it feels good to know. Is this what Mistress Aviel meant before about remembering your past?"
"That's right. Remembering your name is a small step, but every step you take forward is progress." Link nodded, putting a hand on her shoulder, "Just take your time, and I'll be here for you every step of the way."
"...I-I see, thank you Master Link." Fubel whispered, she stood up and started to undo the straps of her dress, "Well if that's the case, then I shall resume my orders. Please present yourself for sexual intercourse."
"Uh no, not again!" Link said sweatdropping, he started waving his hands frantically, "Wait, hold on! I thought we already made it clear it wasn't an order for you to-!"
"Tee hee... just kidding."
Link's eyes widened at that strange noise, he saw Fubel had her finger curled up to her lips, and was sporting a very small smile.
"F-Fubel, did... you just tell a joke, and laugh?!" the young king exclaimed.
"I suppose I did." Fubel said, still smiling lightly, "It feels... good to do that as well. Is that okay for you Master Link?"
"Of course!" Link nodded, "In fact, I think I want to see more of that from you from now on!"
"Very well..." Fubel said, she stood up and twirled around to face Link, leaning forward and sporting her small smile, which made Link's heart melt,
"Then I shall do as you command, Master Link." Fubel said.
"That wasn't an order." Link said sweatdropping.
"Hey everyone, morning!" Link called out the next day with Fubel obediently following after him. Sitting around the table was Nabooru, Aviel, Nemisa, Saria and Halei waiting for breakfast.
"Oh hey there Link, glad to see you up so early!" Nabooru grinned, "I didn't even have to send Aviel in this time."
"Fubel actually came and woke me up today." Link said scratching his cheek and yawning.
"I have a built-in alarm function for sleepy masters like him." Fubel said as a clock popped out on a spring from her wrist.
The previous night Link was quick to properly reintroduce Fubel to Nabooru and his friends, and they were all happy to find out she had reclaimed something about her past, especially Aviel.
"Hiiiii Fubel!" the bird girl cheered out, running over and hugging the maid with her wings.
"Ah... Mistress Aviel, did you need more shaved ice already?" Fubel asked, still sporting a deadpan expression.
"Nah-uh, I'm just glad to know your real name now!" Aviel said brightly.
"...t-thank you Mistress..." Fubel muttered.
"So are you going to join us for breakfast today Ms. Fubel?" Saria asked.
"I..." Fubel paused and glanced to Link, who grinned and nodded, "...I suppose I will have something small." she nodded, sitting down as the servants came out with the food. She took a small taste of pancakes presented to her and her eyes lit up widely at the taste, "It is quite good..."
"That's just what I like to see from you Fubel." Link grinned.
"Oh, it's the maid." Sheeva said walking in as gracefully as she could despite her pregnant stomach.
"Greetings Mistress Fluffy-Tail, I hope you're doing well this morning." Fubel said bowing.
"I'm doing fine, thank you." Sheeva spoke, sitting down as a servant brought her a tall stack of pancakes with a large side of sausages which she immediately started going to town on.
"Now Sister Sheeva, is there something you'd like to say to Fubel?" Nabooru asked.
Sheeva glanced to the side, "Yes, I... erm... want to apologize for assaulting you yesterday. I thought you were trying to hurt Link, but he and Nabooru told me what had happened. I'm sorry."
"No, I should apologize myself for my errors overwhelming my logical thought processes." Fubel said, "I'd like to do anything I can as an all-purpose maid to make up for my mistake, but Link has informed me that spiked mace or electric whip beatings are not acceptable forms of punishment."
"That goes without saying." Nabooru said sweatdropping.
"Well, if there's anything..." Sheeva spoke, she looked to Link and smiled lightly, "I know you're still a rebel, but I'd like you to trust in Link. If anyone can help you remember what it's like to be human, it will be him. Take it from me."
"Thank you, but I think I already know that." Fubel nodded, glancing to Link with a small smile.
Link was happy to see Fubel getting along with Sheeva and everyone, and while she still maintained her obedient programming as a half-automation, it seemed as though she was showing off more of the humanity that he always knew was deep inside her...
...and he could only hope to learn more about her as she kept taking steps forward.
"For now though, I'd like to do everything I am capable of to assist you with your pregnancy." Fubel told Sheeva.
"If you wish." Sheeva nodded.
"Splendid, then now allow me to help relieve the pressure here." Fubel said, suddenly appearing behind Sheeva and groping at her large breasts, "My sensors have indicated you're severely backed up at this point."
"H-Hey, unhand those!" Sheeva exclaimed with a bright red face.
"But I only wish to make you feel better." Fubel stated with a deadpan expression, as she massaged Sheeva's chest all over. Her own fluffy chest was pressing against Sheeva's back, making the situation even more provocative.
"Oooh... don't... aaaahhh!" the wolf woman's voice started to moan out.
"Hey, n-none of that at the dining table!" Halei shouted with a bright red face, using her Bunny Hood ears to cover her eyes.
"Jees, aren't those nice..." Saria muttered, looking away from Sheeva and Fubel with an annoyed pout.
Meanwhile Link had fallen forward on the table with blood excessively leaking out of his nose.
"Aaaaaaand Link's down." Nemisa said.
"He better get used to it." Nabooru snickered, "I think Fubel's going to be around with us for a long time."
Fubel stood up from Sheeva, who was in a subdued daze by the massage treatment she was given.
"Now that I'm done with Mistress Fluffy-Tail, please stand by while I work on each of you." Fubel said looking to the others with her hands in a groping gesture.
"Uh, maybe later!" Nabooru said in a panic as they all escaped from the maid.
Meanwhile, far off in Hyrule Market Town, a young couple were going down the street doing some shopping. The wife was eagerly going around buying up whatever she thought looked cute while her husband was stuck carrying everything.
As the husband took a step forward, something suddenly tripped him. He almost fell and dropped the things his wife had been buying, but he was quickly stopped by a Hylian knight catching him.
"Woah there citizen, are you okay?" the knight asked.
"Oh, thank you Mr. Knight!" the wife said, trying to help her husband balance everything, "You all do so well to keep the peace around here!"
"It's our sworn duty, maam!" the knight spoke saluting, "And as such, I feel I need to warn you about something."
He pulled out a royal notice flier and handed it to them, "We're gong around letting citizens know that the new Gerudo King will be arriving with his people two months from now. They're going to be negotiating terms with His Majesty the King and the Hylian Parliament."
"Oooh how exciting!" the wife said.
"Yes, though we're all a bit concerned about them coming here..." the knight said distantly.
"What's the matter with that?" the husband asked, "We've heard plenty of great things about the Gerudo over the past year or so."
"Yes, they even saved a number of our people from the Wyvern Keeper slavers, including the great researcher Professor Bradson!" the wife said, "There's even rumors they saved the miracle doctor of Kakariko Village!"
"Weeell... it's just that I've heard something bad went down over at the waterfall bridge that connects Gerudo Valley to Hyrule." the knight said, "...that the Gerudo King attacked the soldiers there."
"Wait, really?" the wife asked, "I never heard about that!"
"Yes, from what I've been told there was a number of bodies found, even one of our own knights was found thrown off the bridge." the knight said,
"And regarding that thing with the Kakariko miracle doctor, word is she came back to the village in a wheelchair and refuses to tell anyone about where she had been for two years."
The young couple looked to each other in astonishment of this news.
"Ah! Sorry, didn't mean to babble on like that." the knight said, "\A good day to you folks."
"Oh, no it's fine. Thank you." the wife said, as she and her husband went off on her way, and the knight saw they were carefully reading the flier he handed them.
"..." when he saw they were out of earshot, the knight let out a bothered sigh.
"Nice work there soldier." spoke a voice coming out form the shadows.
It was Lieutenant Ernoldus, the knight who had originally escorted back the citizens that had been freed from the Wyvern Keepers. Despite his efforts to claim he and his soldiers had saved them all, the former slaves were quick to tell Market Town the truth about the Geurdo being their heroes.
"Is... this right to do sir?" the knight asked, "You've had us going around telling the people those rumors for weeks now, and this might cause the citizens a great deal of unrest."
"It's quite fine, all you're doing is just making them cautious. It's only natural given the Gerudo's history with Hyrule." Ernoldus said patting the knight's shoulder, "Now go along, and make sure you hand out all those fliers."
"Y-Yes sir!" the knight said, going off on his way.
And that ends this week's chapter. With Fubel now aware of her true name, she seems to be opening up to Link. New memories will likely surface from within her as time goes on, but is it truly a good thing for her...? Find out next time!
And yes, you just witnessed a battle between a pregnant wolf woman and an android maid over a naked guy. As if this story isn't getting weird enough.
I was glad to finally be able to have Esolu wake up from her coma and have her kid. I wanted to tie up as many relatively minor loose ends as I could before the group goes out to Hyrule Castle, but there still a few more things that need to be addressed first.
In case you guys are wondering Fubel's name is pronounced "Foo-behl". It's just spelled that way in Gerudo language.
