Chapter 16

"Ooooh!"

Pudding blinked as it turned to the bedroom door. "Master Vert sure is noisy, dood."

"Yes, Nepgear, oooh, right there, keep going!"

"Ah, Big Sis, are you sure it's okay?"

"Get in there deep and, OOOOH!"

The Prinny tilted its head and giggled softly. "Oh my, I didn't realize that they were like that." The Prinny walked over to the door, though it stopped when more noises came out of the room.

"Nnnngh! Oh my! Nepgear, you've gotten so good at this."

There was the sound of flesh being smacked before Nepgear spoke up. "W-well, I had lots of practice with you."

Pudding's face was red. "Dood..." It let out a soft sound and reached up to the door before stopping. "This almost sounds like..." Pudding trailed off and gawked at what it heard next.

"Oooooh! NNNGH! YEEEES!" Vert's voice was loud and the moans she was letting out was quite enticing. Combined with the smacking of flesh, Pudding decided that just a peek to see what was going on wouldn't hurt.

Well, so long as neither of them reacted like an angry White Heart, Yellow Heart or Iris Heart that is.

Opening the door, the Prinny popped its head in and saw Vert, laying face down on a table, completely naked, which the Prinny could only tell because Vert's large butt was completely exposed to see and her bare breasts were squished against the table, with Nepgear, who was fully clothed, standing over Vert's legs, squeezing and kneading them.

"Oooooh!" Vert's head was leaning back and her eyes were closed. "OOoooh yes!"

"Goodness, Vert, you really need to stretch your legs." Nepgear commented as she gave Vert's thighs a hard slap and sighed. "The amount of knots in your legs is insane."

"I know." Vert pouted and looked back at Nepgear. "But I like your massages. Plus, oooh! My lower back feels soooo good."

Nepgear sighed softly as she flexed her hands before going back to massaging Vert's legs. "That's because the tension and knots in your legs push pressure upwards and makes your back hurt." Sighing, she gave Vert's butt a couple of swats. "Okay, roll over, I'll have to stretch your legs out that... eeek!" Her eyes widened as she realized Pudding was in the room. "Hey! You shouldn't be in here!"

"Dear, it's okay." Vert sighed and rolled over. "I don't mind."

"Even though I can see your naked breasts?" Pudding asked, though when it considered what it knew about the Vert it knew, this didn't seem out of place.

After all, the Vert it knew had no problem going to nude beaches and enjoying some time to get a full body tan.

"No touching." Vert admonished the Prinny as she got herself into the ready position and nodded at Nepgear, who pushed on Vert's left leg, causing Vert to gasp and jerk. "NNNGH! OOOOOH!"

Nepgear sighed and shook her head. "Big sis, if you don't stretch out more often, you're going to be unable to fight when in HDD. You also need more water and potassium in your diet. Don't make me take away your teas."

Vert pouted, her eyes watering up, both from the sensations her body was giving her and Nepgear's threat. "That... Ngh, okay, stop, stop, stop!" She sighed in relief as Nepgear lowered her leg. "Give me a moment."

Pudding just watched as Vert's breasts bobbed and moved from her panting before Nepgear grabbed Vert's right leg and pushed up, getting a moan of discomfort from Vert as a result. "Nnnngh! Ooooh dear me!"

A few seconds later, Nepgear lowered Vert's leg and she panted, nodding and rolled back onto her front with Nepgear's help.

"While I don't mind giving you a massage, big sis, you need to do some basic stretches." Nepgear admonished Vert as she rubbed Vert's shoulders and back, finding a cluster of nerves that was tense and causing the blonde to let out a moan. "I think you need to take some Yoga classes, between sitting down all day and your boobs, you're just one big ball of tension."

Vert pouted. "But then you won't give me a naked fully body massage."

Nepgear turned red. "I'm not massaging your boobs! Get someone else to do it!" She gave Vert's butt a hard swat and the blonde let out a yelp.

"Goodness, I remember when we started you would blush and stammer and ask me to keep my underwear on, and now you're not only giving me a naked massage, you're also giving me a spanking." Vert moaned as Nepgear worked Vert's lower back out. "What happened to such a shy girl?"

"You happened." Nepgear answered, not going into any details, but Vert pouted and nodded nonetheless. "And I wasn't spanking you!" Nepgear yelled, her face red and her voice showed how flustered she was.

Vert just smiled victoriously. 'Still got it.'

Pudding just sat there, enjoying the show.

Days later in Lowee...

Both C-Sha and Pea noticed how agitated Blanc was acting these days, though Blanc hid it well, considering that she was doing quests with both Pea and C-Sha, they both knew that she wanted to find her sisters. "I don't suppose you've found anything on Blanny's sisters, have you?"

"Nope!" Pea smiled and C-Sha sighed. "Pea's going to go potty now!" She turned and ran off, heading for the guild, which wasn't too far away.

"Don't fall on the ice." C-Sha called after Pea before turning and looking at Blanc. "Hey, you know, you really should ask for compensation when you finish a quest off."

"I never accepted a quest, I just happened to have the item he needed on hand when he asked, so I don't consider it doing a quest." Blanc said flippantly. "We've had this conversation before. Even Pea agrees with me, you don't need a reason to do good deeds for someone."

C-Sha smiled nervously. "Well, don't complain to me if the head of the guild yells at you again, okay, Blanny?"

Blanc nodded and looked around. "Where's Pea?" While she found it odd that she was basically helping her successor out, the girl was pretty nice and less obnoxious than her sisters could be. 'Still, after finding them, I'll help get this mess sorted out and then I'll have to contact Histoire about what the process is to retire.' The fact that she was still alive was kind of a shock to her, but she wasn't complaining. 'So long as I get to find Rom and Ram before my time's up...'

"She had to go to the bathroom." C-Sha jerked her thumb in the direction of the guild. "I'm sure that it'll be fine."

Blanc nodded and the two made their way to the guild. 'Rom, Ram, I hope you're safe, wherever you are.'

It was getting late in the day as Blanc sank into the tub, sighing after a hard day of hunting monsters and doing quests. "It's nice to help the people out, but I don't think I'm any closer to finding Rom or Ram." Sighing, she pulled her knees up to her chest so she could rest her head on them. "I know they're strong, they did better than I did against Rei after all, but..." She couldn't help but worry about them.

Especially with all the confusion involving Pea and the fact that Blanc knew she was going to be replaced soon. "I need to find them so we can all contact Histoire, I don't..." Her eyes teared up at the thought of her sisters suddenly falling over and disappearing while crying out for their elder sister to help them. "I don't want them to be alone and..."

"HEY!" Pea's voice was so loud that she jerked in surprise, causing the water to splash around. "BLANNY! C-SHA! ARE YOU HERE?!"

Blanc grumbled and got out of the tub as she grabbed a towel and started wiping her body down. "I'm going to have to impart the importance of being quiet onto her before I'm done." She muttered and wrapped a dry towel around her body. "Guess I have to say, it's nice that I'm not too tall, I don't have to worry about flashing my ass off when I walk around in a towel at least." She muttered softly and stormed out of the bathroom. "Dammit, do you need to be so... dang... Loud?" Blanc trailed off, her eyes widening and her pupils shrinking as she saw who was with Pea.

"BLANC!" Rom suddenly cried out and tackled Blanc to the ground with Ram pouncing on them a moment later.

"Huh, I didn't expect this," C-Sha muttered as she walked over to the group. "Where did you find them, Pea?"

"Pea was bored!" Pea said cheerfully. "So Pea went to find monsters to go splat on and hit a dogoo over a tree and it went splat on them!"

"That explains the slime." C-Sha chuckled as Blanc hugged her sisters. "Though now we'll need new towels." Such a thing was alright in her book, especially if it meant that Blanc wouldn't be so dang mopey. "Hey, Blanny, why don't you three get cleaned up and I'll go get some sweats from the hotel lobby so we can wash their clothes?"

"Sure." Blanc said as the three got up and went into the bathroom to get cleaned up.

"I'll be back in a little bit." C-Sha said as she walked to the door.

"Are you going to talk to the bad man?" Pea asked softly, causing C-Sha to stop, her pupils shrinking as she turned to look at Pea, who somehow managed to be larger than her appearance hinted at, seemingly taking up the entire room. "Pea knows how to tie up bad boobie ladies to give them spankings."

C-Sha chuckled nervously. "No, I don't intend to talk to him," at least not at that moment, "I really do intend to get them sweats so we can wash their clothes."

Pea just smiled at her. "Okay! Bye bye, boobie lady." She waved at C-Sha.

C-Sha sighed and walked out of the room. After the door closed, she shivered. 'Why does such a small girl make me so nervous? It doesn't make sense, she's smaller than Blanc, but...'

The more she thought about it, the more she was certain. 'There's just something about her eyes, they look like she's lived hundreds of lifetimes.'

She wondered just what such a small girl had seen to make her look so old at such a young age.

Meanwhile...

Blanc smiled as she gave Ram's back a scrubbing while Rom washed her back. "I'm glad you're both okay." The three of them were covered in suds, a consequence of the twins going over-board with the soapy cleaner, but at least if anyone suddenly walked into the bathroom, they wouldn't see anything inappropriate.

Ram had one eye closed as she enjoyed the sensations of Blanc scrubbing her back. "Like, it was super easy. We took care of all the monsters we could."

"We had to run away a couple of times, but we were looking for you too." Rom said, nervousness in her voice.

Blanc sighed softly. "So long as you're both alright, that's all that matters."

"Hey, Blanc," Ram spoke up, "who are those other two?"

"Hmm? Well, the brunette is C-Sha, she's a hunter who's been helping me look for you two." Blanc wasn't sure what to tell them about Pea, she thought it would be too much to tell them right away.

"And Peashy?" Rom asked, causing Blanc to let loose a confused sound. "Peashy told us her name is Peashy, but she calls herself Pea because it's shorter."

"Huh, that makes sense." Blanc nodded. "Well, she's... A little special." When the twins nodded but didn't ask Blanc to elaborate on it, she sighed, thankful for that at least.

After all, she had no clue how to explain to them that their time as CPU was up and they were running on borrowed time.

'First we need to find out why Lowee's the way it is and fix the problem, then I'll tell them.'

Blanc just hoped that they had enough time to do all of that. 'If I'm wrong, we may just end up disappearing.'

As always, read and review.
