Part 8. Flynn Revisits The Club, Julia Goes Custom 3D
(The castle, bath hall)
(Flynn's point of view)
Suddenly, we heard footsteps running down the hall. "Flynn! FLYNN! Dammit! Where are you!? FLYNN!" That sounded like Julia, And she sounds rather upset.
"Julia, I'm over here!" I shouted back." Seconds later, Julia came running around the corner. I noticed that she had a VERY upset look on her face.
"Julia, that happened?" I asked.
After she was able to catch her breath, Julia answered. "Hah hah, lady Estellise, Hah hah, has gone missing from the castle! Hah hah, I'm afraid she's already gone to another sympathy call! Hah hah."
Oh, no!
"A sympathy call?" Sir Jurgis asked. "Do you have any idea who's she seeing?"
"I'm afraid so, Jurgis." Julia answered. "She's gone to see that absolutely horrid excuse for a human being, Kitano Masiji! We have to find Estellise and we need to find her! RIGHT NOW!" She pumped her fists up and down for emphasis.
Just then, dame Margaret and the two maids, Charlene and Jeanne came running up, well as fast as dame Margaret's skirt will allow.
And accompanying them was sir Schwann and Hatchette. "Heard you running through the halls, calling out to Flynn, Julia." Sir Schwann said as they approached. "What happened?"
"Lady Estellise has left the castle again, Schwann!" Julia answered. "We think she went to perform another sympathy-call!"
"Another sympathy-call!? Is it with that dirtbag Gradana?" Hatchette asked.
"Worse, Kitano!" Julia replied.
"That son of a bitch!?" Hatchette's eyes widened. "Oh that's just great, that guy's an EVEN bigger ass, figuratively and literally. Especially when you consider those pictures of him torturing lady Estellise."
"Don't remind me, Hatchette. As if I needed another reason to despise that wretched disgusting excuse for a human!" Julia added.
"Lets face it, we gotta get her back, guys!" I agree, Hatchette.
"There's something else you should know." Jeanne interrupted. "When the two councilmen had us tied up and locked in lady Estellise room, they told us that lady Estellise was pregnant!"
Say WHAT!? I felt my jaw hit the floor. And I wasn't the only one reacting that way.
"I almost fainted when we heard that!" Charlene added. "And here we thought her really strange food choices were just a phase. How could we've been so foolish!?"
"Lady Estellise is PREGNANT!?" Julia, dame Margaret, Natalie, Hannah and Sodia all said in surprise.
"Of all the worst things that could possibly happen, this is THE! WORST! POSSIBLE! THING!" Julia said. "Never a couch around when you need one!"
"Our sweet, innocent, delicate lady Estellise!? Went and got herself pregnant!? with a lewd, dirty, smelly Lower Quarter peon!?" Dame Margaret's face was completely white with shock. "I-I can't take this! Oooooh!" And she fainted.
"Much as I like to join you but..." Julia said as she tries to get dame Margaret back on her feet. "C'mon, Margaret, on your feet." She turns her attention to the maids. "How? How long was she like this!?"
"We honestly don't know, lady Julia." Hannah answered. "I think it might have been in the last month or so."
"Now that I think about it, lady Estellise's breasts were getting large and she was feeling queasy from time to time." Natalie added. "We thought that she was still going through puberty, but we were kept too busy to seriously take any notice."
"If I know pregnancies, the enlarged breasts, nausea and funky food cravings don't hit until the start of the second month." Saleam said, still soaking in the tomato-juice bath. "So I'm guessing she's at the start of her third month. Did any of you chicks notice if she stopped passing blood?" That got the maids, dame Margaret and Sodia blushing. "Hey, I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important."
"Well to be honest, we weren't allowed to check" Dame Margaret said. "The council's taken over checking her functions since she turned eighteen."
"So in other words, you ladies would've had no way of knowing. Until her belly starts to distend." Sir Schwann said. "Though something tells me they're planning to have an abortion done on her before that all the same to keep her secret activities just that."
"Well anyway, we all know that the princess chick's got a bun in the oven." Saleam said. "And we need to get said oven emptied out. I better get my stuff ready. Good thing I brought a change of threads." he gets out of the bath and headed to the showers to rinse himself off.
"But first we have to head over to the embassy to fetch her back." Julia said.
"Actually, Julia, lady Estellise is headed over to that private men's club in the Noble Quarter." Jeanne corrected.
"You mean 'The Empire Club'? The exclusive club for nobles and dignitaries?" I asked and Jeanne nodded.
I went there once on my 21th birthday when my status as noble was restored, and got into a little incident and we had the place temporary closed down. "They must've just re-opened."
"And that's where were headed." Sir Jurgis said. "Alright, Hisca, Chastel, Flynn, Bernard, you're with me. Sodia, Witcher, I want you and the rest of the brigade to to guard the castle, and Dr Rodgo."
"YES, SIR!" We saluted.
"We'd like to accompany you guys as well." Sir Schwann said.
"And so would I, Jurgis." Julia added. "And I'm absolutely not taking no for an answer."
"And something tells me I wouldn't be able to hold you back if I tried, Julia." Sir Jurgis replied and Julia sternly nodded.
"But why do I get the feeling this is gonna lead to another mess like the one you made three years ago. Or for that matter the one you and Sodia allegedly made last fall(I'm still finding it hard to believe that those guys you two said you killed are all from another dimension, and bleed glittery blood)."
I'm sharing the same feeling, sir Jurgis. And you're not the only one who still find what happened to both me and Yuri last fall hard to believe, Sir Jurgis. And I was there.(Read 'Downtown Insult' for the details, Author)
"We'll go get ready. Jurgis, Hatchette, come with me, I want to discuss a couple of things." Sir Schwann said as he, sir Jurgis and Hatchette left. "We'll meet at the entrance hall."
(The Front Entrance, moments later)
When we got to the entrance hall, we met up with sir Jurgis and Hatchette. Huh? "Um, Hatchette, why are you wearing civilian clothes?" I asked.
"It was sir Schwann's idea, Flynn." Hatchette replied. "He decided to 'temporarily' put me on leave for this mission."
"Also, sir Schwann's implementing another part of his plan, which I can't say at this moment." Sir Jurgis said. "Also we're getting one more guy on this. He should be waiting outside, at the east servants entrance." And as we followed sir Jurgis to the servants entrance, we came outside and met up with...
"Hey, guys." Yuri Lowell!? As Julia would say, 'Good grief'. "The old man and Jurgis wanted me to hang around for a bit after I got out. Must be important."
"And he's right to keep you up here, it has become important. You know that princess that I work for right?" Julia said.
"The one that they keep cooped up in that castle?" Yuri replied. "Not like I've ever met her. She never visits the dungeon anyway."
And I hope you never will, Yuri. You'd be a VERY bad influence on lady Estellise...
"She's been taken from the castle, Yuri." Julia said. "Not only that..." She looked at Hatchette.
"She's been put on that stupid drug that messed us up three years ago." Hatchette finished.
"Monster Drool? It figures." Yuri shook his head. "So what's the plan?"
"Sir Jurgis, I'm afraid I must object to bringing Yuri along!" I interrupted.
"And I like to second it, sir!" Hisca added. She and Chastel followed us to the servant's entrance accompanied By Bernard. who still smells a bit like tomato juice.
"You're not still mad at me for punching you, Flynn." Yuri said to me.
"Or you over that argument we had when I was a., ahem, guest." He said to Hisca(Read Change by Mystearica, Author).
"It's just that we don't exactly approve of the way you like to do things, Yuri." I replied. "Ever since you quit the knights. You've been getting into all sorts of fights, causing all kinds of trouble, and getting yourself tossed in that frigging dungeon more times than I could count."
"And more recently, throwing Adecor and Boccos into the river and punching Flynn in the face when he tried to calm you down, Just what the hell were you thinking, Yuri!?" Hisca added.
"It took a lot of self control, something that you clearly don't have, Yuri, to keep me from doubling your sentence after you punched me." I finished. "You can't just keep taking the law into your own hands, Yuri!"
"Would you rather I did nothing as people are being taxed to the point that they can't even afford to buy even a slice of bread?" Yuri retorted.
"Would you rather I did nothing as the Lower Quarter suffers from people getting robbed, murdered or raped? The only time you knights ever come down to the Lower Quarter is to collect those stupid taxes and very little else. Someone has to do your job and if I have to knock heads together to get things done, then that's what I'll do, Flynn. And you know it. And so do you, Hisca!"
"Yuri..." I walked right up to him. "That still doesn't make what you do right!"
"Oh, for the love of... Quit it, you three!" Julia suddenly got in between us, pushing us apart. "Or do I have to knock your thick skulls together!" She threatened.
We took a step from the stern looking maid standing between us, holding her hands out in a 'stop' gesture. "We're not here to complain about Yuri's hijinks, we're here to get lady Estellise back home, and we need all the help we can get!"
There are times I often forget that Yuri, for all his trouble-making, our arguments and occasional fights is still my friend, even if he drives me crazy at times.
"You're right Julia." I agreed. "This isn't the time and place to argue about Yuri's ethics. Let's get lady Estellise back first..."
"Then we can resume chewing his head off." Hisca added.
"Thanks." Yuri said. "Just like back in the Academy, huh, Julia?"
"Indeed, Yuri." Julia sighed, remembering all the times she tried to keep us and Hatchette out of trouble. She lets her shoulders slump down and lets out a tired sigh. "Some things never change."
She turned to face sir Jurgis. "There's something I just realized, Jurgis, how will Yuri, the twins and me get into that vile club? Seeing as Yuri's no noble, and they only accept nobility. And although I'm a noble (believe it or not), I'm also a female."
"Same here, Captain." The twins added.
Julia continued. "There's no way we can get in unless...(thinks about for a moment) Oh, you've absolutely gotta be kidding me! Hisca, Chastel, I think I'm afraid we'll to be, ugh, prostitutes working at that club. Good grief." She facepalmed as the twins also moan.
"Yeah, that's what me and sir Schwann are thinking too." Hatchette said. "We even got you three a change of clothes." He holds up a traveling bag holding a change of clothes.
"Why do I get the feeling I'm gonna look like one of those virtual dolls from that hentai game that Erik(from Kabbage Boy of course) was playing?" Julia rolled her eyes. I feel kind of sorry for her.
"And we're gonna be just as kinky." Chastel added.
"Okay here's the plan..." Sir Jurgis started his briefing. "Me, Flynn, and Bernard will directly approach the club. We'll tell then we're performing a routine investigation to insure that the electrics are up to code. Meanwhile, Hatchette and Yuri, disguised as pimps and Julia and the twins, disguised as, ahem, ladies of the evening..."
"Good grief." All three of them said.
Sir Jurgis continued. "Will approach the entrance and attempt to gain access. Once in, you five will proceed to search the club and try to locate our missing princess. Should you find her, get her out of there, I don't care if you have to knock heads together or, knowing Julia, perform below the belt surgery."
"It just might have to come to that, Jurgis." Julia said. ". And I'll probably need a bath after this."
Sir Jurgis finishes his briefing. "Right. But if you five find it difficult to safely extract her, you know what to do, Hatchette." Hatchette nodded. "Schwann should take care of the rest. Everyone knows what to do?" We all nod. "Good. Let's go." And we head out to the Empire Club.
(The Empire Club, Noble Quarter, some time later)
After waiting a while after our infiltration/search team entered, we came to the front entrance on the 'Empire Club'. Right now, it's just me, sir Jurgis, and Bernard. Yuri, Hatchette, Julia and the twins have already entered earlier to infiltrate the club.
"Ah, Sir Flynn, welcome back to our honored establishment..." The doorman greeted. "As you can see, We've just re-opened, and our exclusive bordello is once more open for our esteemed clientele. So long as they don't bring their roadies. What a mess they made."
"We're here to make a surprise inspection to insure that this club's electricity is up to code." I replied, holding up the search warrant provided by sir Schwann. "As well as to make certain your workers are above the age of consent, and employed here on their own volition."
"I see." The doorman examined our search warrant. "This looks to be in order." The twin doors open up. "Enter freely and look around. We have nothing to hide."
"We'll see about that." Sir Jurgis replied. We crossed the threshold that only men are allowed to cross. That's why we have to leave Witcher(too young) and Sodia(female) behind.
As we entered the main hall, we were greeted by Wada Masaji. "Greetings, Flynn Scifo. We meet again."
"Wada." I gritted my teeth. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "I haven't forgotten about last month in Shizontonia."
"Really, Scifo. And I haven't forgotten how you managed to punch me in the face." Wada strutted about on the stage. "Speaking of miss Fortescue, tell me is she still fresh?"
I just stared silently stared at him.
"Alright, be that way, I'll just talk to your commander..." He faced sir sir Jurgis. "Konbanwa(good evening), Vytautas-san, To what do we owe the pleasure of your visit?"
"Just a surprise inspection of this bordello." Sir Jurgis hands him the papers. "We're here to make certain that your, ahem, employees are above the minimum age and are here on their own free will."
"Do not worry, Vytautas-san." Wada replied. "All our employees are above the age of 18 per your local laws, to provide heterosexual or homosexual pleasure to the noblemen of the empire. And yes they are not drugged and they are here of their own accord."
"Yeah, me and those two roadies sure made a mess of your place." I replied. "Wish you were there so we could make a mess of you."
"I suppose one can dream, Scifo-san." Wada sneered. "Though I heard one of those brutes electrocuted Mr. Cumore with a microphone." (Read 'Victory Tour' part 27 for the details, Author)
"You do realize you're still wanted for questioning concerning the dead Yurzorean, and the assault with a tentacle monster on lieutenant Fortescue." Sir Jurgis reminded.
"Yes, I'm aware." Wada replied. "However you should know these things you accuse me of happened in Shizontonia, not in Zaphias, statute of limitations, you know. As long as I stay in Zaphias, I have diplomatic immunity and thus cannot be arrested."
"Yeah, we're aware." Sir Jurgis replied. "But still I strongly recommend you be on your best behavior until you take the next boat for the Shogunate."
"Noted, Vytautas-san." Wada bowed. Well the sooner he's gone the better. Then Wada looked backstage. "Ah, father there are some knights here to see us."
And up onto the stage came what I think is one of the most evilest men I've ever met.
"Kōshaku Kitano Masiji. I've heard you were back in town." Sir Jurgis said.
"Then you've heard true, Vytautas-san isn't it?" Kitano asks. I started to tremble with rage.
"Keep it together, Flynn." Bernard cautioned. "I know you want to beat the crap outta him for taking a branding iron to lady Estellise, but we need to play it cool, at least until we find lady Estellise."
"Won't be easy, Bernard." I whispered back.
"Yes it is, kōshaku." Sir Jurgis replied. "As I told your son, I'm here performing a surprise inspection of your bordello to insure that everything's up to code."
"Is that so." Kitano stroked his pudgy chin. "Do you take me for a baka?"
"What do you mean?" Sir Jurgis asked.
"We know why you're really here, Vytautas-san." Kitano replied. "You're here looking for the pink haired woman known as Estellise Sidos Heurassein, We arranged for her sympathy-call to lure a certain person here." He looked at me. "Isn't that right, Flynn Scifo?"
"What are you getting at, Kitano?" I asked, approaching the stage.
"Perhaps these two honorable councilmen can explain it better." At that point both councilmen Nero and Bruno came up on the stage. "Won't you Nero-san, Bruno-san?"
"Oh we most certainly will." Councilman Nero replied. "We know for some time that you have yet to go on a pilgrimage, Flynn."
"Yeah, that's because of all the assignments I've been given, councilman." I replied. "So?"
"You know that master Ioder went missing last month near Shizontonia. Under your watch as I recall." Bruno pointed out, we nodded.
"And we have it on excellent authority that commandant Alexei is asking any knights about to go on pilgrimage to look for him. And you're about to go on pilgrimage soon."
then councilmen Nero continued. "However certain individuals, which me and Bruno represent, do not wish for master Ioder to be found, least not until lady Estellise becomes empress and we, the council, take full control of this Empire."
"And the point of all this?" I asked.
"Let's just say, we don't want you going on pilgrimage, Scifo." Councilman Nero answered.
"Matter of fact, me made certain that you guys knew that lady Estellise was here. In the form of those two maids we left tied up in her room. We knew they would be found by concerned parties, we knew they would tell you of what happened, and we knew that both you, and that stupid maid, Julia would eventually show up."
"Oh yes, we know that she came here earlier, disguised as a whore along with some others, and they're being disposed of as we speak by some thugs we hired." Councilman Bruno added
"Oh no!" I gasped, worrying about Julia, Yuri, Hatchette and the twins.
"I'm sure they can take care of themselves, Flynn." Sir Jurgis replied, drawing his sword. "Or I don't know Julia, Yuri, Hatchette, Hisca and Chastel."
He looked at the group on the stage. "Furthermore, You admitted to the fact that lady Estellise is indeed here. Surrender and hand her over!" Me and Bernard also drew our swords.
"You better not have harmed her!" I threatened.
"Hand over that lowly woman? I think not." Kitano pulls a lever on the nearby wall, causing a wall of iron bars to come down, cutting us off from the stage. "Normally we use this to keep our customers from getting up on the stage, as well as for certain performances. But in this case, it should keep you three bakas from us while we sit back and watch."
Then Wada added. "As you pay for insulting us, Scifo."
"It's a pity that your two comrades must perish as well." Kitano finished. "Men! Show yourselves!" Next thing we know we were suddenly surrounded by a group of armed Yurzoreans.
"Dispose of these riff-riff for us." Wada commanded.
"HAI, MEIYO RYŌSHU! (YES, HONORABLE LORDS!)" The men all bowed drew their katanas and rushed us.
But just because they had swords doesn't necessarily mean these guys were good, course it also helps that we were wearing armor and they didn't.
One guy tried to take sir Jurgis out with an overhead swing, but sir Jurgis parried it, kicked that guy in the guts and finished him with a downward slash, splitting his chest open.
Then he shot a blast of concentrated aer into the next opponent(Azure Edge) knocking him off his feet.
He turned and engages his third opponent, parrying his sword thrust, rapidly punching him in the face and gut(Cerberus Strike), then ended him with a well placed sword thrust.
He re-engages his second opponent, who just got back on his feet, and took him down first with a downward slash followed with an uppercut(Fang Strike), then runs him through.
Bernard uses a shield to block the sword swing of his first opponent, then he takes him out with as series of sword thrusts followed by a shield bash(Pierce Cluster).
Then he nails a second one with a shield bash followed by a sword thrust(Ray Sting).
Just my luck…
I got four guys attacking me.
They must really want me dead.
I take out the first opponent at a distance with an aer slash(Demon Fang).
The second guy does a jumping attack, shouting 'Kogahazan', but I managed to block it with my shield. Then I showed him that two can play at that game and nailed him with a jumping attack with a downward slash(Tiger Blade).
I pushed the third opponent back using a sword combo that causes a shock-wave(Sonic Thrust). So I can have enough room to deal with the fourth guy. He tried to karate-kick me in the face but misses(Getting kicked in the face isn't nice, take my word for it). I take him down with a series of fast stabs and swings(Sword Rain).
And I use the same arte on the third opponent once he re-engages.
Although we did take a few hits here and there, me Bernard and sir Jurgis managed to take out the goons that were sent to kill us. I use a guardian fiend to heal our cuts.
"Well well, As you would expect from captain Jurgis and his merry men." Nero congratulated in a condescending manner from the apparent safety of their barrier.
"Those bakas, how dare they fail me!" Kitano raved. "They have brought shame to Super Free by letting themselves get defeated so easily!"
"I agree, father." Wada added. "We should have them commit seppuku. If they weren't already dead. Oh well plenty more where they came from."
"Well then..." Bruno looks up. "You know what to do. Enjoy yourself." Who's he talking to?
"I plan to, but first..." Came an intense sounding voice up in the rafters. Suddenly, a can shaped object drops down from the rafters between sir Jurgis and Bernard, A thick green smoke shoots out, enveloping the two.
"Let's get these two outta the way." Suddenly they collapse to the floor. Oh no! They're both gasping, and their breathing sounds raspy.
"What did you do to them!?" I shouted into the shadows.
"Oh, them? Oh they're just under the influence of a slow acting poison gas that'll kill them in half an hour." The voice replied. "It causes paralysis and really restricts their breathing, making it harder and harder to get any air until, they suffocate, orrrr..."
The mysterious figure jumps down from the ceiling and lands on his feet. He appears to be wearing a black jumpsuit with brown leather armor and he has the craziest looking hairstyle I ever saw.
"They get a shot of this into their arms." He holds up what looks like a large syringe. "But there's a price of course and it ain't money, Blondie."
"I ain't having sex with you or your orderlies if that's what your saying." I said.
"Hey, do I look like that fucking faggot, Gilbert, Blondie!?" The crazy haired man retorted.
"Gay sex? Aw YUCK! Really! By the way, the name's Zagi and here's the deal. If you can beat me, I'll give you the antidotes, but if you can't, THEN YOU ALL DIE! MWA HA HA HA HA HA!" He put the syringes in a pouch and draws a pair of really wicked looking short swords. He assumed a fighting stance, with his right hand sword spinning sinisterly.
"You ready to die? Begging for your pathetic life just like that freckle faced knight I killed in the Red Light District two months ago?" Zagi asked.
I got myself into a fighting stance, shield in front. "My name is Flynn Scifo!" I stated. "Remember that as I kick your ass up and down this room!"
"Flynn Scifo, huh?" Zagi cocked his head. "I'll make sure to carve your name into my blood once you're dead. NOW DIE, FLYNN SCIFO!" And we charge at each other. I have to get that antidote!
(Near the entrance on the Empire Club, shortly before Jurgis, Flynn and Bernard arrived...)
(Julia's point of view)
Well, this is just great. Not only do we have to sneak in to that absolutely revolting bordello to look for lady Estellise(I just can't believe she's pregnant, Now I really want to do terrible terrible and REALLY messy things to Ragou). But we have to sneak in with me, Hisca and Chastel dressed like, well how do I simply put this? Looking like we three oughta be in that awful hentai game (I think they called it 'Custom Maid 3D') that Kabbage boy was into before they croaked.
As Sodia would say 'This just isn't my day'. Though I can imagine it's an EVEN worse day for Estellise. Or I don't Know the Masiji's and their guild, Super Free(and I wish I didn't. Take my word for it).
What they got me, Hisca and Chastel wearing right now can be kinda describe as, well, maid themed, I think. Top to bottom, I'm wearing a ruffled hairband, a blonde wig, A white ruffled collar with a red ribbon. A white collarless blouse with puffed short sleeves with black shoulder ruffles, and a black waist band. Also, I'm wearing a short black open-front mini-skirt worn over a white mini-skirt that just covers my crotch(On the bright side, at least I'm wearing underwear this time), and a short white apron that goes only halfway down said skirts and has a sash that ties in a rather cute bow at the back. My leg-wear consists of white stocking that almost reach my skirt with, interestingly enough, black leg-warmers and finally, a pair of maryjane shoes.
The twins are wearing similar outfits, and blue and green wigs (Hisca's wearing blue, Chastel's wearing green). Well compared to what Gradana used to make me wear, this is, well, rather conservative. But not by much...
"Well, Julia How's the outfit?" Yuri, Now dressed like a pimp, including a white hat(Which his hair's tucked up in) as we exited the alley me and the twins needed to change.
"Like I oughta be performing a karaoke number on stage in this outfit." I replied in a deadpan tone as I handed him our normal clothes in a small duffel bag. "And preferably just that only." I simply have a bad feeling about this.
"Us too!" The twins added. "'Though it sounds like fun." Chastel said, grinning.
"Really, sis?" Hisca replied, adjusting her blue wig. "I feel kind of silly wearing this." She slightly tugs on her short skirt.
"I'm feeling just as silly too." I reassured.
"Alright, now that you three are, ahem, dressed for success." Hatchette said. "And me and Yuri are properly attires as your sleazy and EEEEEVIIILLLL managers. Let's pay the club a visit." Oh, good grief, don't tell me we're gonna have to endure Hatchette's hammy overacting?
We approached the front doors, A doorman greeted us. "Hold it right there." He holds out his palm. "Who are you?"
"Moi?" Hatchette placed his hand on his chest. "Oh come on, you don't remember me? Its me Hatchette Gachot. Don't you remember?" Wait what? Oh now I remember! Gradana used to have him take me to that club to, ahem, perform three years ago.
"Hatchette? Is that you?" The doorman replied. "I almost didn't recognize you in that zoot suit. Heard you were kicked out the Royal Guard for conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman."
"Yeah, you heard right, nowadays I'm making a living as one of Earl Gradana's pimps." He said in a rather sleazy tone. "This is my assistant, George." He points at Yuri. "Say hello to the nice doorman, George."
"Hello there." Yuri greeted.
"What's with the Duffel bag?" The doorman asked.
"Oh, this..." Yuri holds up the duffel-bag. "Oh that's a change of clothes in case your clients want to dress 'em in something else."
"We already provide a change of clothes for our ladies." The doorman replied. "So you don't need to bring anything extra."
Hatchette gets his attention before he could examine our duffel-bag. "And these three bitches are some of Gradana's slaves, um, I mean maids." He introduces us, Say hello, you three."
"Um, Konbanwa." I greeted in Yurzorean bowing slightly.
"Hello." The twins greeted simultaneously.
"Hmmm, that bespectacled one. She can speak Yurzorean eh?" The doorman said. He examined me and the twins. "She looks a little familiar, the height, the face, the glasses. Hold on, is that a wig?" Oh shit, we're busted. "Take it off off, please." Definitely busted.
"Do as he says." Hatchette orders. So I took off the wig.
"So, you really have dark brown hair. Looks a bit short. You know, Hatchette, she looks like That slave you used to bring here three years ago."
"Yeah, she does look like Julia DuBois, doesn't she." Hatchette replied. Okay looks like the jig's up gonna have to...
"But, she's really her twin sister, Janice Nina DuBois." Huh? "Julia's even more promiscuous sister. Who ran away from home shortly after my master became Earl, and has been living as his servant, pleasing his desires."
Actually I do have a sister by that name of Nina j. DuBois, and yes, she's straight. But she's five years younger than me, and still lives with my family up north in Halure. But she's grown her hair as long as Yuri's, has perfect vision. And STILL a virgin, So kindly don't get any ideas or I'll. Come. After. You.
I really mean it!
"He had to disguise her with a wig and those dorky round-rim glasses in order to smuggle her in. She wanted to perform at this here club, don't you my dear?" Hatchette said in an overly sleazy tone.
"Oh, yes, my master, I really really really really want to perform here and satisfy the gentlemen at this club. Tee hee hee!" I replied. Hatchette isn't the only one to improv on the fly, sigh. And I was hoping to clobber that doorman.. Oh well.
The doorman studies the twins. "They too wear wigs. Let us see their real hair."
"Show him, you two." Yuri ordered. And Hisca and Chastel removed their wigs revealing their red hair.
"Quite gorgeous hair these two have." The doorman commented. "What are their names, not that it matters."
"The, cough, smaller one name's Holly Blossom and the bigger one's name's Cherry Blossom." Hatchette answered. "They're twins, by the way, My master and his friends broke 'em in last week. I helped break in Holly on both her holes when we double penned 'em."
Hisca and Chastel gives Hatchette a slightly dirty stare, Not surprising that's just what Gradana, Hatchette and the other three scumbags did to them three years ago when Hatchette was in a, how do I put this, different state of mind.
"All three of these slaves are taking Tentacle Syrup to make 'em horny and obedient. And we're using eye drops to hide the dullness in their eyes." Hatchette explained.
"Really?" The doorman stroked his chin. "Yow are you three feeling?"
Improv time again... "Oh, my! My head feels soo dizzy right now!" I said, holding my head rocking it slightly left and right. "And my boobs and pussy feel sooo tingly!" I can't believe that I had to use those absolutely *shudder* dirty words again. "And I'm feeling soo horny right now. Do you have a Karaoke machine? I wanna warm up with some singing." Um yeah, they used to make me perform Karaoke before they got down to the rough sex.
"Wow, you even sound like Julia. Right down to the accent. As expected of her twin sister." The doorman replied. And are you two feeling the same?" He asks the twins.
"Oh, yes! We're feeling just as dizzy, tingly and horny!" The Twins answered. "And we wanna sing Karaoke too!" Are you two absolutely serious? They might make you two sing in Yurzorean.
"Well I'd like to hear you three sing, but the karaoke machine isn't working tonight." The doorman shook his head.
"Awwwwww!" Me and the twins moaned, pretending to be upset.
"I know, we shoulda imported a Yurzorean model but we had to make do with an Ilyccian copy made by Aspio Music(tm)."
"I think I can fix it." Yuri offered.
"We have one like this up at Gradana's." I think Yuri means the one down at that izakaya, you know the one that Flynn took Sodia on a date to last fall. Now that I think about it, we have such a karaoke machine in the maids lounge up at the castle and we maids, especially Natalie and Hannah, and occasionally the twins and Sodia, like to let off some steam by doing some karaoke. With the accompanying dance numbers.
"Is that so?" The doorman replied. "But still I need to see some papers before I can let you all in."
"Oh, yeah the papers." Hatchette pulls out some documents. "Here you go, I hope they're in order."
The doorman examines the papers. One each for me, Hisca and Chastel, or rather Janice, Holly and Cherry. "Looks like Granada's signature all right." Who's have thought that Schwann was good at forgery.
"Well I guess I'll let you in. You can fix our karaoke machine, right?" The doorman asked.
"Sure can." Yuri replied as we entered this absolutely wretched hive of scum and villainy. "Lead me to that sucker!"
We came into the main lounge. The doorman showed Yuri the karaoke machine, and Yuri examined it. "That thing hasn't worked right since that roadie with the wicked looking belt buckle knocked one of Mr. Cumore's bodyguards into it. Man that guy and the one with the mustache really tore the place apart before Mr. Cumore got himself electrocuted trying to kill one of those roadies."
Ah, Edward and Ralph. Wish I was there to see it. Both the fight and Cumore getting short circuited.
"Alright, let's see..." Yuri opened up the karaoke machine. "Can you bring me some tools?" He asked, and the doorman brought up a toolkit from backstage. "Alright, let's get to it..."
After several minutes, Yuri closes the panel and plugged it in. "Okay let's try it now." He turned on the machine, selects a song and it played perfectly as the lyrics scrolled across the screen.
"Now then, you three..." Hatchette looked at me and the twins. "Get up on the stage, its time you sang and danced for our pleasure." I should mention, a whole bunch of men, both Yurzorean employees and young Ilyccian nobles showed up in the meantime.
Good grief, I was afraid of this. I'm gonna have to sing and dance on stage, wearing this outfit. And so is Hisca and Chastel. In front of all those libertines. Oh well, might as well get it over with.
"As you wish, masters." We bowed to Yuri and Hatchette and got on the runway leading onto the stage. "Okay, So what song do you want us to do?"
"Well we thought we'd try out this." The Doorman replied. "I'm sure that Gradana taught you the dance steps that go with this song?" I nodded. I used to do this song and that accompanying dance for that asshole, Gradana and his lackeys three years ago... "Good, Since we know you can speak Yurzorean, we'll have you do the singing as the twins dance in unison to you."
"As you wish, master." I bowed. Hisca and Chastel stepped back. The doorman programmed the Karaoke machine, I saw the Lyrics come up and we started our dance number. Ho boy. Here goes...
(Basically just watch any Youtube video featuring 'Entrance To You' by Nao As well as the accompanying dance scene from 'Custom Maid 3D' and you'll get the idea what Julia and the twins was doing on stage. The song goes something like this, Author)

(And here's a Rough Translation, Author)
You are in love with you to look at it is colored
To shadow you from reflecting even closed eyes
only for you, one and only
It shook the candles that illuminate lighter
And should I look for what feelings you?
I want to be staring at much much a smile that
Than anyone who entrusted to closer
To the line of sight of your crossing suddenly Just dance
Overflowing awkwardness and diverts involuntarily
I still want to feel at any time all of the gesture of your
To tell me your favorite Hey
You do not hear it can not be said obediently for such
I want to dance with you stage in Love standing painful
only for you, one and only
Answer to arrive whenever you get lost all the time
Feelings you can not hide so as to eliminate nowhere to go
Do not much much He loves the smile that
In the light glaring at any given time
The pieces of your warmth and Just dance words
Over this gap in my chest
I gently blurred with tears to the pages of the mind
I think this to you who want to send you want to convey
By changing forever the moment you sparkling
The pieces of your warmth and Just dance words
Over this gap in my chest
I gently blurred with tears to the pages of the mind
I want to be my favorite of your Hey
Premier of you I want you to tell me
I want to dance with you in love stage that is second to none
only for you, one and only
*blush* Boy, did I feel absolutely silly singing and dancing on stage in that outfit. Let's just say this is just like that certain H game I came across on my last tour. I looked over the shoulder at Hisca and Chastel and I can see they were blushing slightly as well, I suppose they were feeling just as silly as well.
"Um, how was our dance? I hope it made you all happy." I asked the audience. And the audience clapped at our performance, making us feel EVEN more sillier *blush again*
We got down off the stage. "Subete no kenri anata ni ōku, shigoto ni modoru. Watashitachiha, han-jikan de hiraku. (All right you lot, back to work. We open in half an hour.)" He said to his fellow employees in Yurzorean. "And, you guys are a bit early." He said to the libertines.
"We just wanted to get our playrooms early, we have passes." One of them said, as the showed the doorman their early passes.
"Ah! Viscount Chamois-san. Good evening." The doorman greeted. "Sorry for not being at the door. We were trying out some new talent." He looked at us. "What do you think? A brown haired meganekko and two red-headed twins, dressed as maids."
"Very cute." Allen replied. Ugh, this guy reminds me of Alphonso back on Arcadia, sheesh. What a fop he is. I've met him a few times at the castle, I never had sex with and I certainly hope I never will. "Are they virgins?"
"Gomen'nasai, I'm afraid they're not, or I don't know their current owner, Earl Gradana Brandon Stafford." The doorman apologized. Remind me to kick Gradana in the balls next time I see him.
"That's a shame." Allen shakes his his head. "Ah, no matter, still quite cute, especially you, my glasses girl." He strokes my chin. "Could you send 'em to my personal playroom?"
"Of course, Allen-san, Enjoy their company tonight." He looked at us. "Come with me, you three." He gestured at me and the twins and we follow him backstage to the infamous playrooms. Yuri and Hatchette follow.
XXX
"This is honorable viscount Chamois-san's personal playroom." The doorman opened the door. "Please enter and await our client. He will be here shortly."
"We'll be waiting outside." Yuri said as we went in. It's been a rather long time since I was last in these, ahem, playrooms.
The one we're(that is me, Hisca and Chastel) in has a hardwood floor, and light brown walls(no doubt sound-proofed) and has adjustable lighting to, well, suit the mood.
A finely made double wide bed with fine linen sheets and brown covers.
A drawer, a table, a couple of plush couches and a phonograph blastia with several records with music for the right moods.
Yuri tossed in the duffel bag containing a change of clothes and our gear. "You three get dressed and gear up."
"Got it, Yuri." I replied as I started to undress. "No peeking now."
"Same goes to you too, Julia." Hisca said as she got out both hers and Chastel's uniforms. Then both of them went behind a partition to undress. "We know you too well."
Sigh. And they have such nice bodies too. It didn't take me to long to shed my custom maid outfit and get into, well my favorite outfit. You know the one with the purple waistcoat and skirt.
As I was putting on my shoes, we hear a knock on the door. "Oh, lovely ladies your handsome master has arrived to grace you three with his oh so elegant presence." Allen announced on the other side of the door. "May I come innnn?"
"You most certainly may, young master." I replied as I finished buttoning up my waistcoat.
The door opened and in comes viscount Allen Chamois. Oh, good grief just what IS he wearing? Does he shop at the same store as Cumore or something? Let's just say he's dressed for S&M, once again, good grief.
"I'd thought we'd start off by going to the downstairs torture playroom and warm up with a little whippy-whippy. Huh? What with that outfit? I can't see your knees with that skirt!"
And I simply prefer it that way, thank you very much.
"Just why are you wearing that?" He looked at me top to bottom. "Wait a minute! I recognize those clothes! Isn't that one of the dresses that the head maid at the castle wears whenever she goes out? Is that really you, Julia?"
Oh shit! Busted again?
I forgot to mention that Allen has seem me in both my maid uniform, and my other dresses when I'm not working.
"I don't believe this! How did I not notice that it was you earlier singing on the stage?" Maybe because you are an absolutely oblivious idiot, Allen. "I can't believe you're moonlighting here as a pleasure-girl, You must really miss the sex, don't you?"
Okay, so maybe I'm not busted, provided that the twins remain hidden. Maybe I can work with this. "Uh, yeah, I suppose I kinda do. EEEK!" I yelped as Allen just suddenly groped my butt! I felt his fingers, through my skirt, and petticoats!
How absolutely RUDE!
I jumped back and started backing away. "How dare you! I mean, not so fast! I wasn't ready!" Just as bad as Alfonso. Or was Alfonso worse 'cause he also dry humped me. *SHUDDER* Just thinking about his, ugh, budge *SHUDDER AGAIN*
"Oh really, Julia." Allen replied. I'm sure you read the contract for this place. I can do whatever I want to my sexual partner here."
Yeah I did read that contract earlier, but still.
"Oh, yeah, that contract, I, well, I kinda skimmed through it. Aheh heh heh. Would you mind not coming so close. Aheh heh!" I was slowly backing away from him with my hands up to keep some space between us. Why couldn't he wear something normal? Even Cumore had better taste. What am I saying? "S&M simply doesn't interest me anymore. Aheh heh heh!"
I noticed Hisca peeping out from behind the partition, finger pressed up to her mouth. I nodded in acknowledgment as she began to sneak up from behind the perverted and distracted nobleman.
"To think even after you broke away from Gradana three years ago, you still crave a good rumpy-pumpy with us men." Allen grinned slowly advancing making me back up until I felt my skirt touch the bed.
"Oooh, how I dreamed of finally having sex with the only female victor of the Hunger Games while she's still young and pretty. Even if she isn't a virgin anymore!"
Jeez, thanks for reminding me of that fact. "Oh don't be so shy, Julia, I'll be quite gentle with..."
And then I Hisca, now dressed in her armor, snuck up behind him and gave him a karate chop to the back of his head, turning out his lights.
"Sorry, viscount, I'm simply not interested." I said as he collapsed to the floor. Yuri and Hatchette entered. And Chastel came out from behind the partition.
"Well was he good, Julia?" Yuri replied as he and Hatchette bound and gagged Allen.
"Very funny, Yuri." I replied, rubbing my butt. "*shudder* Just thinking about where he touched me *shudder some more*"
"Here you go." Hatchette gave us back our weapons. I strapped on my daggers and throwing knives.
The twins strapped on their swords.
Both Yuri and Hatchette chucked those long jackets(That's how we smuggled our weapons in), pulled out their swords, a flare gun, and…
Well, this is new. Hatchette pulled out a holster containing a rather interesting pistol.
"Hatchette, is that one of those new cartridge revolvers?" I asked.
"Sure is, Julia." Hatchette showed me the pistol in question. "Cavalry pistol mark 2 *(revolver, cartridge conversion). Cylinder holds six .38 calibre rounds each propelled with 25 grains of black powder."
"Well that's a big step up from those old percussion cap single shot pistols." I said.
"Yeah, now I only have to carry one pistol instead of a half-dozen or so." Hatchette replied. "Hope it's worth the price I paid for it. Cost me five months wages, and that's including the bullets." Hatchette loaded up his pistol...
While Yuri just wound-up the cord around his hand.
"All right, now that we're armed and loaded for egg-bear, let's find us a pink-haired princess." Hatchette holstered his gun.
Are you sure, Hatchette? Seeing as we didn't bring along my old hunting rifle. Anyway, we nodded and left the playroom and started our search...
XXX
We started checking each of the playrooms for Estellise.
1st room: Empty.
2nd room: Occupied, Four guys, two custom maids. "Ugh, that brings back bad memories." Chastel said. Just you, Chastel?
3rd room: Occupied, one guy, two maids, one cup, ugh. I know where this is going, so we went to the…
4th room: Empty…
5th room: Occupied. One guy, one custom maid and a donkey? Now that's just wrong.
We head to the basement floor…
6th room: Empty, also the torture chamber where Allen wanted to do some, ugh, whippy-whippy with me.
"Wouldn't surprise me if this is what Cumore's bedroom looks like." Yuri commented.
"It does." I replied. Everyone looked at me. "Don't ask. Just, don't ask."
7th room: Occupied, one man, one girl, pink hair. But she wasn't Estellise.
8th room: Occupied, Two guys having sex with each other. I didn't know they had custom butlers.
"Didn't need to see that *shudder*." Yuri said.
9th room: Occupied, five guys, five custom maids and a...Tentacle monster?
And they're all...
GAAAH! My eyes! MY EYES! HOW ABSOLUTELY! WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE IT! CLOSETHEDOOR! CLOSETHEDOOR! CLOSETHEDOOR!
...*SLAM*...
"Our. Brains. Need. A. Shower!" the twins said.
"I didn't need to see that either." Yuri added.
"I, oh geez, I didn't know you could that." Hatchette commented. "I just lost my appetite."
"Can't unsee!" I *SHUDDERED* "The horror! The absolute horror!"
You do not want to know what we saw in that room. Trust me. It's worse than worms *KER-SHUDDER* And that's saying something. Anyway, Estellise wasn't here. Thank goodness.
10th room: Empty, thank goodness. I simply couldn't handle another sight like the previous room.
"Doesn't seem that lady Estellise is here." Hatchette said. "And we checked all the playrooms."
"We're dealing with Super Free right?" Yuri said. "As I recall they like to, well, do it in the washrooms as well. Remember, Julia?"
"Unfortunately, yes, Yuri." I replied, remembering how they were about to rape Natalie in such a room before I found her and Hannah... and killed them. "...I think there's one down here... Oh I hope they didn't do her there."
At that point we came across the downstairs men's washroom. We opened the door to check. Oh my god! We, we found her! This, this is just, oh my god! How could I say this? There was lady Estellise... Lying motionless on the floor. Her green eyes staring vacantly at the ceiling.
There were cigarettes jammed in her nose.
A paper towel balled up and stuffed in her mouth.
Her jacket and dress were all ripped up save for gloves.
Her left breast had a swirl drawn on her nipple.
Her pants were pulled down and her perfect white legs were graffitied on, a penis was drawn on her left thigh, a turd drawn on her right thigh.
She smelled like an over-used and seldom flushed toilet.
There was no doubt those, those vile monsters heavily raped her.
Oh my god! And last, but not least, there was a handful of toilet cleaning brushes, two cigarettes, and a...wine bottle jammed up into her vaginal opening.
Oh, Zaude! I know I've said it before and I'll say it again. of all the worst things that could possibly happen, this is THE! WORST! POSSIBLE! THING!
"She's, she's not moving. I think, we're too late! NO! SOB!" I sobbed.
Oh, lady Estellise! SOB SOB! For her to end like, SOB, Like this? SOB SOB? I pressed myself into Yuri's chest, clutching his shirt, Crying on his shoulder. "
Yuri! boo hoo hoo hoo hoo! Lady Estellise is DEAD! How, SOB! How could they? boo hoo hoo hoo hoo!" I continued to cry.
"Julia, we're, we're Sorry." Yuri and Hatchette placed their hands on my heaving shoulders. Both the twins, like me were also sobbing and trying to comfort each other. "We'll make 'em pay, I swear it!"
Just then... "Groan." We head a groan coming from lady Estellise? We also saw her head turn slightly to her right. Can it be? Is she STILL ALIVE!?
I push myself from Yuri and run up to her. "Lady Estellise! Oh my God!" I knelt down and remove the two cigarettes from her nose and throw them away, and I take out the balled up paper towel from her mouth and also throw it away... "Lady Estellise! Can you hear me? Wake up! Please!" Her eyes start to focus. And she turns her head to face me.
"Ju-Julia?" Lady Estellise moans. "Wh-What are you doing here?"
"Oh thank goodness we found you! We're here to take you home, lady Estellise!" I answered, tears still running down my face. "Listen to me, there's a whole bunch of crap jammed in your vagina right about now!" I take her hand. "So please, hold still while we try to get them out!"
"I suggest we get those toilet cleaning sticks out first." Yuri suggested. "Then we can remove that wine bottle. Oh man, she's a mess, those frigging bastards went too far."
You said it, Yuri, and they're gonna die for what they did!
"No shit, Yuri."Hatchette added. "Right now let's see if we can get that crap outta her. Before we take it out on those dirtbags." How true.
"Don't worry, lady Estellise." I squeeze her hand to reassure both her...and me. "I'll be all over. And we'll send the assholes that did this to their screaming deaths!" Oh yes, there will be below the belt surgery tonight.
"Julia." Estellise moaned.
"Don't try to talk, lady Estellise." I interrupted. "Save your strength. Okay lets get those things outta her!"
"Right Julia. Hatchette hold her steady!" Yuri said.
"Got it, Yuri. Chastel, help me out here!" Hatchette replied and he and Chastel placed his hands on her, holding her still. First, Yuri and Hisca removed those sticks And then, he extracted out that bottle.
"Okay, that oughta do it." Yuri said as he tossed away the bottle. "Guess it's up to Doc to find anything that we might've missed."
"Yeah, Yuri." Hatchette said. "First we gotta her her back to him. Oh man, Flynn's not gonna be too happy about this." Just Flynn? What about me and the twins?
"Is, Is Flynn here?" Estellise asked.
"He is, lady Estellise." I answered.
Then Estellise reaches up and feebly grabs my sleeve. "You, you shouldn't have come here, Julia." She moaned. "Flynn's in danger. You're in danger!" Just then the door opens up. Something tells me it's time to operate. And my rondels are thirsty tonight.
(End part 8)
Author's Notes:
Had to do a bit of research concerning pregnancy and its stages and symptoms.
I'll admit I'm taking a bit of a liberty with canon by having Zagi introduce himself to Flynn here at the bordello instead of at the castle(Even though it was to Yuri). Might have to adjust the main story if and when I start writing it.
Julia and the twins custom maid outfits are based on a similar outfit combo that can be found on the H game, 'Custom Maid 3D', along with the dance scene. No I didn't play that game, just watched the videos on Youtube... For research purposes of course...
Hatchette's pistol is based on the Remington model 1858 revolver but converted to fire brass cartridges.
Well not else to say at the moment. Next chapter, Flynn fight for his life, and Jurgis's and Bernard's against the psycho assassin, Zagi. And Yuri, Julia, and Hatchette do some... surgery but I doubt their... patients are gonna live through it... heh heh heh...
