"I can't believe you weren't able to finish the one job you were given! And a simple one at that!"
"I told you, it was a terrible, horrible, embarrassing disaster!"
Histoire and Neptune were currently arguing about how Neptune had failed to get the part Nepgear asked her to get. After hearing Neptune's story, Nepgear knew it wasn't really her sister's fault, it was the fault of that stupid being again, which only strengthened her resolve to put an end to it. In fact, Nepgear was about to set out to gather some materials with Noire. She wasn't sure why Noire specifically wanted Nepgear to go along with her, but she agreed to it. They would investigate an area in the woods nearby a camp. The camp submitted a request for someone to take care of nearby monsters that liked to raid them at night, which the two had accepted, a "killing two birds with one stone" kind of thing.
"Histy, I'm off!" Nepgear said as she walked towards the door. Histy gave her a wave as she continued to chew out Neptune, who glared at the Oracle. Nepgear sighed as she left the Basilicom. She didn't want to walk, so, despite thinking it probably wouldn't work, she attempted to transform. She was surprised to find that it finally worked, and so she happily flew off to the meeting point. Due to her flying, she was able to get there in only a few minutes, landing softly on the ground and transforming back, much to Noire's shock.
"Well…if we can transform, this'll be a piece of cake!" Noire said, and Nepgear just gave her a nervous smile. Somehow, she knew it wouldn't be that easy. "Anyway, are you ready? The area is off in that direction, but we're gonna stop by the camp to tell them we accepted their request." Noire explained. Nepgear nodded, and the two started walking.
The trek to the camp was one of awkward silence. Nepgear hadn't realized it before, but she rarely actually was around Noire without Neptune also being there to crack a joke or make fun of Noire or flirt with her. It was…strange.
"Hey, Noire?" Nepgear finally asked after a few moments. "Can I ask you a question?"
"Of course." The black-haired goddess answered.
"Why did you invite me along specifically?" She asked. Noire opened her mouth to answer, but she froze when she saw something, mouth agape and eyes wide. The candidate was confused for a moment before she looked in front of them to see that they'd arrived at the camp. Except…
"Welcome!" A woman said as she came close. Nepgear and Noire both felt their faces turn a slight red hue as they stared at the woman…who was completely naked. "I'm assuming you're here for the monsters plaguing us?"
"Y-yes! B-but, um…wh-why are you…?" Noire tried to ask, trying and failing to not stare at the woman's ample chest and untamed pubic hair. Nepgear elbowed her.
"Don't! It's rude!" She whispered, also trying not to stare, but the woman laughed.
"Oh, you are wondering about my state of dress, aren't you? Or lack thereof I suppose. Well, allow me to explain, please, follow me." She said, turning around and walking forwards. Both CPUs gasped as they were now greeted with the sight of a quite large behind on the woman, one that shifted back and forth as she walked. Noire was frozen on the spot for a while until Nepgear prodded her back, snapping her out of her daze. The two followed her into the camp. Nepgear was indeed confused for a while until…she saw the guy. A guy that waved to her…completely naked. Her eyes shifted down, before immediately shooting back up, her face an intense shade of red, even just from a glance at the man's…equipment.
"Noire…I think this is a nudist community…" Nepgear whispered to Noire, her assumption growing more and more plausible as she looked around, seeing more people. She saw breasts of all different sizes, as well as…dicks…everywhere. Something she had only seen in books and on the internet…she was now seeing in person, several times over. Eventually, the woman stopped in what seemed to be the middle of the camp, and turned back to the two girls, her breasts swaying.
"I must thank you for coming to our aid. These monsters have been quite a danger to us. They steal our food and try to hurt our children, and we'd like them gone as soon as possible!" She said.
"Y-yes, we'd be happy to take care of them for you!" Nepgear said. "Just point us in the direction and we can-" But the woman cut her off by shaking her head.
"Before that, apologies but…can you please remove your clothes?" The two girls stood frozen in shock, until Noire spoke up.
"WHAT?!" She exclaimed.
"These lands are sacred to us, and to our traditions, so we ask that while you hunt these monsters down, you please do it without clothing, just as we and our ancestors once did." The woman asked.
"I-I can't…n-no…" Noire said, but Nepgear put a hand on her shoulder.
"Come on…we should be respectful. Besides, it'll just be the two of us, other than these guys. And they're so accustomed to nudity that I doubt they'll stare at us." She said. Noire still didn't look convinced, though really, those words were for Nepgear herself. She was already expecting something to happen while they were naked, but she kept those thoughts to herself as, before Noire's eyes, she started to pull off her dress.
"R-really?!" Noire asked. Nepgear folded up her dress as she set it on the ground, before reaching behind her back and undoing her bra. Once it was undone, she lowered the shoulder straps and looked around as she clutched the bra to her chest.
"S-see? No one's even looking, because they're used to it." Nepgear said. Noire looked around herself to confirm it, and Nepgear finally removed the bra completely, setting it down on her dress. Finally, she grabbed the hem of her panties and, with a deep breath, pulled them down, down her legs, to her ankles where, after some effort, pulled them off her socks and shoes.
"Can we keep our socks and shoes on at least? So we don't step on stuff?" Noire asked, but to her annoyance, the woman shook her head. Both girls couldn't help but notice that even the slightest bit of movement caused her large chest to sway. They somehow seemed even bigger than Peashy's when she went HDD. Nepgear sighed as she slipped off both her socks and shoes as well, setting them down next to their other clothes and finally leaving her completely naked. As she stood back up, she tried her best not to cover herself, though her hands shook from the effort. She looked over at Noire, who groaned. "Do I really have to?" Both Nepgear and the woman nodded, and Noire sighed. She quickly pulled off her own dress, removing her socks and shoes, and then, in one quick motion, likely trying to do it fast so she wouldn't overthink it. Nepgear tried her best not to stare as she tossed her bra down, and then quickly yanked down her panties, stepping out of them and setting them down next to her other clothes. "Th-there! Happy!" The woman smiled.
"Thank you so much for this! We greatly appreciate your help and dedication to maintaining tradition!" She said, the smile on her face almost enough to make Nepgear smile back. "Now then, the monsters often head that way. Sorry we can't give you much more information than that, but I hope that's enough."
"Thank you." Nepgear said, turning to Noire, glancing briefly at her chest, as like Nepgear, she also left herself uncovered, though she seemed to be shaking even more than Nepgear. "Come on, let's go." She said, gently pushing on the black-haired girl's back, but she jumped like she'd just been shocked.
"D-don't do that!!" Noire shouted after turning around.
"S-sorry…" Nepgear said with a laugh. Noire turned back around and after a deep breath, she started walking in the direction the woman had pointed her. Nepgear thanked the woman once more before she followed Noire.
"I can't believe this. This isn't what I signed up for." Noire said once they were out of the camp. "Let's just find these monsters and the materials and forget this ever happened."
"I'm sure it won't be that easy…" Nepgear said under her breath.
"What?"
"Nothing!"
"Oh, and don't stare at my ass, okay?!" Noire demanded.
"I won't, I won't…" Nepgear said, though truth be told, it was hard not to. Noire's smooth cheeks were free of any blemishes, and Nepgear had to admit, she was tempted to squeeze them, that's how nice they looked. But, she tried to look at anything else, the surrounding nature, the bugs that whizzed by. She also tried not to look at her own body, even as she felt her breasts bouncing ever so slightly with every step she took. Her eyes kept glancing at Noire's ass and her hips, though, despite her best efforts. The way they swayed and jiggled…it reminded her of when she sometimes looked at-
"Nepgear?" Noire suddenly asked, making the candidate jump in surprise.
"Y-yes?"
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Of course." Noire seemed to hesitate for a moment, but then she took a deep breath, and spoke.
"You asked me why I wanted you to come along. Well…I wanted to ask you…what do you think of Uni?" Nepgear was surprised by the question.
"Well, I think she's a great friend, and she's much stronger than she thinks she is, and-" She said, but Noire stopped her by shaking her head.
"I meant…do you…like her?" She asked.
"Like her? What do you mean?"
"Oh for god's sake!" Noire exclaimed. She turned around and grabbed Nepgear's shoulders, her breasts swaying from the motion. "Are you in love with my sister?" Nepgear felt her entire face turn a deep red.
"H-huh?!"
"I've seen the way you look at her! You always want to be around her, and she always wants to be around you! You're basically all she talks about, and I've never seen two people happier to be around each other than you. So I'm asking you, do you love her?" She asked. Nepgear couldn't help but look down, extreme embarrassment coursing through her body. Though she had to focus on her feet so she wasn't looking at Noire's chest.
Was she? It's true that whenever they spent time together, it was the most fun she ever had. Plus…she did occasionally glance at her…features. Her heart raced when they touched, or when she looked in her eyes, or when she complimented her…
"I think…I think I am." She finally said. Noire sighed, and finally let go of Nepgear. "Is…that bad?"
"No, no of course it isn't." Noire said, and sighed. "But…you really should talk to her about it, because I'm extremely confident she feels the same way about you."
"Y-you think so?" Nepgear asked with uncertainty.
"Absolutely." Noire said. "And while you think of that…let's keep looking for the monsters." And so the two continued on in silence, with Nepgear thinking about how she'd possibly talk with Uni about this without turning into a blubbering mess. Then, eventually, a few minutes later, Nepgear had her own question.
"What do you think of Neptune?" That caused Noire to stop in her tracks.
"E-excuse me?"
"Do you feel the same about Neptune? Because what you just described for me…I think I've seen the same thing with you and Neptune." Noire's body began shaking again.
"H-have you seen her looking at me…like that?" She asked.
"Yes." Nepgear answered. Noire looked down at the ground. "So…do you?" Noire didn't seem to want to answer. "Come on, it's not fair to ask me and then fail to answer yourself."
"…Yes." Noire said, and turned around. Her face was just as red as Nepgear's had been. "B-but you better not tell her, okay?! I'm…I'm working on it." With that, she turned back around and the two continued, the conversation seemingly over. The candidate was surprised with Noire's honesty, but she knew she shouldn't push it further. They needed to focus.
After some time, with Nepgear continuing to try not to stare at the ass in front of her, Noire stopped, holding up a hand. Without a word, she summoned her weapon, and the candidate did the same. The two crept forward into a field, where they found a nest of…
"Of course it's dogoos." Nepgear whispered, looking on at the multitude of small blue slime dogs. They thankfully hadn't noticed the two yet. That meant they'd have the advantage. They just had to take out as many as possible as fast as possible before they could swarm them. Noire raised up three fingers, then two, then one, and then they charged.
Immediately they were able to take out a few before they even realized what was going on. Even then, the two sliced through a few of the seemingly low level enemies, as they all seemed to die in a single strike. There were a lot of them though, and now that they had figured out what was going on, the dogoos were starting to advance. The two continued to cut through them, but they were coming in fast.
"Don't lose focus!" Noire shouted, and Nepgear nodded. The two sliced through so many, but it felt like they just kept coming. One managed to jump onto Nepgear and she cringed as she felt its cold body melt against her skin. Another jumped up right between her legs, causing her to squeal and leap back, which only made her trip and fall over. That gave the dogoos the perfect opportunity to swarm her. They jumped onto her, their small tongues licking her chest, her nipples, her belly, and her pussy. She giggled at how it tickled, but she occasionally moaned as they hit sensitive spots, particularly on her pussy. Nepgear looked over to see Noire in a similar situation, on her hands and knees, the dogoos attacking her ass and chest with ferocity.
"G-Gotta…stop…" Nepgear said, but she could feel their slime covering almost every inch of her body. She tried to stand, but the dogoos pushing against her made it nearly impossible. Even so, she persevered, and eventually managed to get to her feet. With a loud shout, she attacked the dogoos on her, eliminating them easily. She swiped at every single one that got close to her, letting her rage overtake her. She thought about the being, and everything he'd done to her, and used that to become a blur as she sliced through the waves of monsters that tried to get close. She screamed as she hacked away at them, her breasts swaying wildly as she moved from monster to monster. Eventually, after some time passed, though Nepgear wasn't sure how long, it seemed to stop. The waves of dogoos had stopped. Nepgear looked around, and eventually saw Noire still trapped by the dogoos molesting her. She rushed over and quickly dispatched them, watching as they vanished into thin air.
Breathing heavily, Nepgear held out a hand which Noire accepted, and pulled her to her feet. Noire looked around, surprised by the lack of monsters, then back at the candidate. "Did you…?"
"Yeah…"
"That's…impressive." She said. "Thanks…by the way."
"No problem."
"Well, uh…" Noire looked down at herself, her body covered in slime. Nepgear did the same and found a similar sight, "we should probably get cleaned up."
"There should be a waterfall nearby, that's actually where I believe the materials are so we were actually gonna head there anyway." Nepgear explained, and Noire nodded. The two walked out of the field, with Nepgear leading the way to the waterfall. The two walked in silence, with Nepgear feeling refreshed, having taken out her anger on the dogoos. Surprisingly, nothing had happened to them, not to say they were out of the woods yet.
It didn't take long for them to make it to the waterfall, and Noire immediately leapt underneath the water, sighing as it flowed over her body, washing away the slime little by little. Nepgear felt her face turn red again as she watched Noire's nude body become covered in water. It dripped down her breasts, stopping on her nipples for a moment before plopping down. She even stretched out, which only accentuated her breasts more. The candidate quickly rushed over, trying not to stare as she did the same. Yet, as she did, she could almost feel Noire's eyes on her, but she did her best to ignore it.
As the two washed, Nepgear's thoughts returned to Uni, and how she might confess to her. Hopefully, if what Noire said was true, and she did feel the same, it shouldn't be that big of a deal, right? But even so, she wanted it to be special, because Uni deserved it.
"Hey, is that it?" Noire suddenly asked. Nepgear looked to where she was pointing, and gasped. Glowing blue flowers situated at the edge of the waterfall. Azuleshine flowers, said to only grow by waterfalls, and only a few in all of Gamindustri. She'd been right!
"Yes…perfect." She answered. Having sufficiently washed off the slime, she walked over and gently plucked a couple of the flowers off the stems, and then turned back to Noire. "I'd say our mission was a success." Noire gave her a smile, and the candidate couldn't help but smile back.
Once Noire was assured multiple times that she'd gotten all the slime off, the two shook themselves dry as best they could, before walking back to the camp, once again in silence. Though this time, it was a happy silence. Nepgear knew that something could still go wrong, but she kept her mouth shut and tried to focus on the fact that she had what she needed, and they also managed to help a small camp, with no one seeing them naked that wasn't already used to it.
They made it back with no issues, and gave the woman the good news. She thanked them both with hugs, which made both incredibly uncomfortable as her breasts squished against nearly their entire front halves, and handed them back their clothes, but asked they wait until they were completely out before getting dressed. The woman thanked them several more times before the two walked out. As soon as they exited the village, Noire hastily got dressed, and Nepgear made sure the flowers stayed intact as she got dressed as well.
"Well, I need to head home, get these somewhere before they start to wilt." Nepgear said.
"Um, Nepgear?" Noire asked. The candidate looked over at her with a raised eyebrow. "Um…good luck…with Uni. Not that I think you'll really need it."
"Thank you. I…I also wish you luck with Neptune." She said, and Noire looked down at her feet as she blushed.
"You literally just saw me naked for like half an hour and this stuff is the most embarrassing…" She said quietly. Nepgear giggled, and said one last goodbye before transforming and flying back towards the basilicom.
Though she was still worried why nothing wrong had seemingly happened.
