Hello people, and welcome back to Goblin Slayer: The Team Year 2. Scratch yet another shitton of goblins and demons. Let have a look-see how the team picks up from here shall we?
Review Response: Yeah, Hero, Ranger, and company kicked some serious ass didn't they? As did Goblin Slayer and company for that matter...
Fighter also had a good point over them finding out later if it mattered, and that the invaders would get their asses whooped if they tried again; they don't give Gold and especially not Platinum Ranks to people who aren't a force of nature.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually planned Summoner being the one who killed Rhea Scout because frankly...Ranger didn't deserve that kill as much as Summoner did. Yes, you all read that right: Ranger...my main character, except of course for GS himself, didn't deserve a kill. But oh well, I'm pretty sure I don't need to explain why...but I will anyway. R.S. talked smack about Sword Maiden and Storm Mage's murders, talked down to Guild Girl, and even tried to kill her and Inspector, and nearly killed Summoner, so...Ranger may have nearly died, but with Summoner...it was personal.
"Yo Ranger, why didn't you just shoot that paladin who jumped you?" Spearman asked.
"Wouldn't do any good; the last time I fought a paladin, my bullets just bounced off it's armor like I was throwing pebbles at it." Ranger said.
"Lovely..." Spearman said.
"What about those swamps you went through? We heard it was pretty hairy in the lizard people's homeland with just those outlaws, or outcasts, whatever." Rookie Warrior said.
"Luckily for myself, training in weather like that is nothing new for me." Ranger said.
"What?" R.W. asked.
"When I was a boy, I had no day off when I trained to be a ranger; if it was raining heavily, snowing, even blistering heat, it was fair game." Ranger said.
"Yeesh..." Apprentice Cleric said.
"I'm alittle amazed my father didn't tell you that." Ranger said.
"Look at the environment around here..." Heavy Warrior said.
"Right...nothing like the swamps." Ranger said dryly.
"Nice to see your eyes are working well honey." Fighter teased as Ranger glanced at her.
"Wiseass..." Ranger said as Fighter laughed a bit.
"Whatever happened to that Rhea Scout's body?" Female Knight asked.
"Summoner cremated the body." Wizard's brother said.
"Too much of an honor for that pest..." Ranger said sharply.
"You'd say that since he nearly killed you." Spearman said and Ranger side-glanced at him.
"At least when he had that shotgun to my head I didn't shit myself, even before I knew he was out of ammo. I nearly blew his head off with his own cannon in the end, if you recall watching the recaller." Ranger said and R.W. snickered.
"Recall the recaller...wow." He said.
"Anyway, I say good riddance to those assholes holding up the elves and lizardmen." Spearman said before taking a bite out of a porkchop.
"And I can't wait to see the looks on the rest of the trainees' faces when they hear of what happened here...thanks to my son, and company of course." Ranger's dad said as he had his hand on Ranger's shoulder.
"Where are they anyway?" Ranger asked.
"They each had their own missions away from here; you name the type, it's on the table." Ranger's dad said.
"Good for them. Hope it goes well for them." Ranger said.
"Until they return, let us make the most of the moment, yes?" Witch said.
"Yeah!" Everyone but Ranger, Fighter, and Priestess yelled before the three got their own table, with Ranger's parents, and Priestess and Fighter sat there holding and playing with the baby while Ranger watched them from across the table. Ranger and Fighter eventually smiled and held hands before Fighter got the baby from Priestess...then Ranger got the baby himself, and kissed her forehead.
You know, she's just like you were as a baby, only...you weren't so fair." Ranger's mom said.
"One would hope so." Ranger said with a raised eyebrow and a half-smirk.
"Yeah, I know, it's not manly to call a male fair, but seriously...look at her." Ranger's mom said before Fighter took the baby back and held her close.
"Both your parents helped save the town daughter, and we're going to keep it up until this world is safe enough for you." Fighter said softly and Priestess stroked the baby's cheek.
"Can I hold her now?" Cow Girl asked as the baby squealed a bit, and reached for her, which earned her some laughs
"Subtle..." Ranger said as Fighter handed her child to Cow Girl who let the baby touch her face.
"You having fun yourself?" Cow Girl asked as she took the baby to GS who was in the corner without his helmet on.
"She really is going to be an amazing mother..." Priestess said warmly.
"No question about that..." Ranger's mom said.
"Bless her heart; she once kept our daughter from being killed, or captured by goblins, even though she was nearly...ensnared by them." Ranger said.
"Bless her heart indeed; she deserves to be Sapphire Rank for that alone as far as I'm concerned." Ranger's dad said seriously.
"On another note, how much do you want to bet she told Goblin Slayer to remove his helmet so he wouldn't make our child cry?" Fighter asked.
"I for one would not put it past her." Ranger said.
"He's not that scary..." Priestess said...which got her some raised eyebrows.
"Not that sc- Priestess, I never thought I'd see the day you said something stupid. Goblin Slayer doesn't even look human in that armor, even when he had his original suit..." Ranger said dryly.
"Nonetheless...if she did ask him to remove his helmet so he wouldn't scare her, then good on her-" Fighter shut up the moment GS took the baby and just stared at her, then Cow Girl whispered to him, he removed a gauntlet...and let the baby grip his finger.
"Is Goblin Slayer really doing that?" Ranger asked in awe.
"Apparently so. Nice to see him lightening up though." Fighter said.
"He's well on his way to becoming a dad himself..." Ranger's dad said.
"Yeah...I see..." Guild Girl said somberly.
"Problem?" Ranger's dad asked.
"It's just..I used to have a thing for him, but whatever...Summoner is a good man too." Guild Girl said.
"You saved your life didn't he?" Fighter asked.
"Yes he did..." Guild Girl said brightening up.
"Alright then..." Fighter said.
"He used Hell Rifts didn't he?" Ranger asked.
"Yes..how'd you know?" Guild Girl asked.
"I fought him remember?" Ranger asked.
"Oh...right..." Guild Girl said as Summoner and Inspector came downstairs.
"Well, look who decided to show up..." Fighter teased.
"Hee hee..." Inspector said.
"So..." Guild Girl trailed off.
"I'm in." Summoner said as the two ladies high-fived.
"In what?" Female Knight asked from behind them.
"None of your business." Summoner said.
"If you say so..." Female Knight breathed out before going back to her meal.
"Let me guess: You're taking him to the beach to show him around?" Fighter asked and the three each had their eyeballs pop out of their sockets.
"How did you know that?" Inspector asked in awe.
"Simple: we went there, you two are interested in him, and he's the only one of us who didn't go there." Fighter said simply.
"Well, enjoy your beach time." Female Knight said seriously.
"Not a problem..."Guild Girl and Inspector said at the same time.
"So...you're both interested in him?" Ranger asked after noting that most of the people are occupied with their own things.
"Apparently." Inspector said simply.
"I think it's a bit odd too, but hey...why the hell would I complain?" Summoner asked.
"Well...o.k. then...if it works it works..." Ranger said simply.
"Glad you approve..." Summoner said dryly before Guild Girl yawns and Inspector looks outside.
"I think we should head home. Wait, can I sleepover?" She asked.
"I...guess, but I only have one bedroom." Guild Girl said.
"That's o.k. Summoner can just make one, right?" Inspector asked.
"Uhhh, I suppose I could turn one of those dummies into a bed, but it's a bit of a longshot." Summoner said honestly.
"Let's just try it, o.k.?" Inspector said.
"I'm not protesting; I'm just letting you know." Summoner said before Inspector clapped her hands together.
"Then it's settled. Let's go catch some shut-eye." "She said she left, then Summoner looked at Ranger and company, shrugged, and followed the ladies out.
"Well...that happened..." Fighter said.
"Hey, to each their own." Ranger's dad said.
"Oh, those adventurers you trained...do you think it'll be enough, what you taught them?" Priestess asked.
"Hand me that recaller..." Ranger's dad said seriously, and the group got a vision of Ranger's dad having the rookies spar each other en masse...and Ranger recognized quite a few tricks he learned himself, and ones he taught Warrior. The trainees even got a crash course of how goblins fought, especially how they didn't fight as a whole, despite their often vast numbers. Ranger and his team learned first-hand that even if large numbers of enemies just throw themselves at their foe...ones who actually maintain a formation, or at least use basic teamwork...the goblins would just get cut down, and they were, countless times.
"Wowie..."Fighter breathed out.
"That proof enough for you?" Ranger's dad asked.
"Very much so." Priestess said before GS and Cow Girl showed up, and gave the baby to Ranger's mom.
"You know son, she's about as heavy as you were at that age." She said.
"And now I weight just under 200 pounds, minus my armor." Ranger said.
"Really?" Cow Girl asked.
"Yes, look at me." Ranger said with his arms spread out.
"How was I supposed to know that?" Cow Girl asked.
"Right..." Ranger said before Priestess yawned.
"And that's out cue, to hit the hay ourselves." Fighter said before they all got up.
"Good night everyone." Ranger's mom said before giving the baby back to Fighter, and they all went home.
"Home sweet home..." Guild Girl said as she went inside, then they went upstairs to her bedroom.
"So...how are we doing this?" Inspector asked, before Summoner started thinking, then got an idea. He summoned a stone golem, absorbed some of it's power, literally created a rock out of thin air, made a bed shape out of it, took some of the material used to make the dummies, and made a mattress out of it. The whole time, the two ladies were watching with their eyes glued to his actions.
"That was...impressive..." Guild Girl said finally before Inspector tested it...and immediately sighed and shifted around.
"Now this is a bed..." She groaned.
"Let me feel it." Guild Girl said as he got on, and had a similar reaction.
"Well?" Inspector asked as Guild Girl shifted.
"I cannot agree did you do this?" She asked.
"I have an alchemist at the fort remember? He taught me a thing or two." Summoner said simply.
"Can you make two beds?" Guild Girl asked.
"We could also share this one." Inspector said.
"Wow...you really want this don't you?" Summoner asked.
"Of course I do, need I tell you again why?" Inspector asked.
"No...you do not..." Summoner said.
"Alright...then let's get ready." Guild Girl said before the two got up, and Guild Girl got her blankets and pillow out her bed and put it on the new bed...while Inspector stripped to her underwear as Summoner looked her over.
"Seen enough?" Inspector teased.
"You don't want me to answer that..." Summoner said as Guild Girl stripped herself.
"Why exactly are we're almost naked, and you're not?" Inspector asked before Summoner removed his armored cloak, leaving him in just his pants.
"Happy?" He asked as the two ladies looked him over.
"Very much so..." Inspector said while nodding before Guild Girl approached her ear.
"He feels even better..." She whispered.
"I read your lips you know..." Summoner said with a raised eyebrow before Inspector hugged Guild Girl from behind while the two looked at him.
"Then come here, and shut her up with your own lips." Inspector said sensually before Summoner walked up to Guild Girl, and practically yanked her into a kiss, while Inspector backed up, and circled Summoner while running her hand along his back, then he pulled away, and looked at her.
"Your turn..." He said with his voice deepened, and kissed her as well while they pressed into each other... then she pulled back and looked down...and Summoner had an annoyed look on his face as he positioned his manhood against his lower abdomen as Inspector laughed at him.
"Someone's in a good mood." Guild Girl teased.
"Careful, none of us had any sterility potion, and I didn't bring any." Summoner said.
"Good, it's too soon for that. Besides, there's a difference between this, and...going all the way." Inspector said honestly as Guild Girl laid down.
"Let's just go to sleep shall we?" She said as Inspector laid down herself.
"Say...who do you think has the better body?" She asked.
"That's the most unfair question I've ever been asked..." Summoner said.
"Right...well, at least you get to lay in the same bed with two adorable women. This should be a dream come true eh?" Inspector teased before Summoner shook his head.
"If you say so..." He said as he took his pants off...while the two watched, and he raised an eyebrow at them.
"Hey, we let you look us over; fair's fair right?" Inspector asked.
"Right...may I ask just how into this you two are?" Summoner asked.
"Are you kidding? You went around, helped stop an invasion, possibly prevented others before that, helped that poor farm girl get back to Goblin Slayer, and to top it off...you saved our lives, nearly at the cost of your own. You...my good sir, are the definition of a keeper." Inspector said seriously.
"Right..." Summoner said with a smirk and got between them as they ran their hands up and down his chest and abdomen while his arms were wrapped around each of their waists while the two ladies occasionally shifted against him.
"How do you feel?" Guild Girl asked sensually before Summoner kissed her.
"That answer your question?" He teased before she kissed him again more deeply, while Inspector kissed his neck, making him break he kiss and pat her butt just hard enough to make it jiggle, making her flinch and chuckle a bit before Summoner kissed her as well, while Guild Girl kissed his neck on the other side and got her butt squeezed as well which earned him a giggle.
"Think you can handle us both like this?" Inspector asked while running her finger along his face with lust on her face and in her voice.
"I hunt demons for a living; I can adapt..." Summoner said simply.
"Ohhh, confident are we?" Guild Girl teased before Summoner raised an eyebrow at her.
"Give one reason I shouldn't be..." He said.
"No way, no how." Guild Girl said seriously before her butt got squeezed again.
"Good girl..." Summoner teased before kissing her and Inspector sighed as she snuggled into his side.
"I can't wait to hit the beach tomorrow..." She said dreamily.
"I'm still open to give you ladies a demonstration, namely...showing a World Spawn." Summoner said.
"Keep that up, and I won't be able to sleep." Guild Girl said.
"Alright...good night ladies." Summoner said as they snuggled into his sides as he held them close.
In the morning, Ranger left Fighter to spend time with their baby, while he went to the kitchen in the apartment, to cook some breakfast for his mother, who showed up a while after he was done.
"Ah, you're just in time." Ranger said as he set the table.
"Son, you shouldn't have..." His mom said as she sat down.
"Why? It's Mother's Day, isn't it?" Ranger asked before kissing the top of her head.
"Yes it is." She said as she took a bite out of some of the eggs and put up a thumb.
"Not only did you give birth to me, but those potions saved my team alot of trouble, inspired Wizard to further your craft, which would not happen without you. You work at the temple which...speaks for itself, and I will never forget you supplied the potion that healed my beautiful wife on our first quest. I don't know what dad has in store for you, but I have no idea if it's enough." Ranger said.
"The same thing goes for you son. That Platinum Rank on your neck couldn't be on a better man, or a better son." His mother said before they embraced.
"Happy Mother's Day..." Ranger whispered.
"Thank you son." His mother said before he let her go and continue eating.
"You know, my Platinum Rank is your victory as well." Ranger said.
"Oh you don't have to tell me son, now please...you're making me forget my manners." His mother said with her mouth full as Ranger laughed a bit before Fighter came down with their baby.
"Enjoying your breakfast ma'am?" Fighter asked.
"Please dear, I'm your mother now remember?" Ranger's mom said as she finished up and Fighter approached.
"Right..." Fighter said as she gave the baby to her grandmother.
"Hello." Ranger's mom said.
"Hello..." the baby said as Ranger's mom chuckled and Ranger stood there watching while Fighter leaned into him with him wrapping an arm around her.
"So...you have anything planned for my new daughter?" Ranger's mom said as Fighter looked at Ranger with both eyebrows raised.
"Maybe..." Ranger said with a smirk.
The team got in a cart and hit the road to the oceanic city, with Fighter holding her baby...and Warrior stared at the baby the whole time.
"You want to hold her?" Fighter asked.
"Might as well hold my niece." Warrior said as he took her.
"Niece? You haven't call her that in a while." Fighter said.
"True... I miss your father..." Warrior said thoughtfully.
"We can go see him when we're done in the oceanic city." Fighter said.
"I would like that very much." Warrior said.
"I'd like to meet him as well." Priestess said.
"Me too." Wizard said.
"Goblin Slayer?" Cow Girl asked.
"Why not?" GS said.
"What about us?" Rhea Fighter asked.
"Yeah." Wizard's brother said.
"Of course you can come; who or what is stopping you?" Fighter asked.
"Alright then..." Rhea Fighter said, and they kept going for about half an hour before Ranger spoke up.
"Something just occurred to me; Rhea Scout used Hell Rifts to jump around the place when we fought, just like I did with this portal gem against the vampire queen..." He said.
"You thinking of taking a page out of his book and doing the same thing later on?" Wizard asked.
"Possibly, if we get a chance, I'm going to head up to the archmage and ask if she can improve the number of times it can be used, or at least a way to charge it." Ranger said,
"But first-things-first..." Fighter said firmly, which earned her a smirk.
"Of course." Ranger said softly before she got closer to him, and kissed him. They eventually got to the monastery, but kept going since the Abbot was probably still working on the relic, but they waved at some of the monks as they did some work on the grounds.
"Wow...that is one impressive city, they even have some farms out there." Cow Girl said.
"I cannot believe I'm asking this, but are you thinking of living here?" Wizard's brother asked.
"Maybe...but let's see what's what first." Cow Girl said somberly as GS actually held her hand, which earned him a smile from her. They then went through the gates, went to the apartment they went to last time they were here, and did some exploring as a group. It wasn't much different from Water Town, other than the fact that it wasn't as...heavenly.
"So...what should we do first?" Cow Girl asked.
"Well, we didn't do much last time we were here, so...there's quite a bit to look for." Warrior said.
"Hmmm...decisions decisions." Priestess said while the baby she held as reaching for her face, which she allowed.
"That baby really likes you doesn't she?" Wizard's brother asked with a smile.
"You're here to celebrate Mother's Day Right? Well..use the portal gem to go to different locations that are special to you." GS said.
"That was supposed to be a surprise; thanks for spoiling it..." Ranger said dryly.
"Sorry..." GS said.
"Eh, there's still details that need to be discovered." Fighter said.
"That's true." Ranger said.
"As for here...well, we can check out the archmage's spire first." GS said.
"That's...actually not a bad idea." Fighter said.
"Can't wait to see the look on the archmage's face when she hears what we did with the armor we got from there." Wizard said with a smile.
"What?" Cow Girl asked.
"Your armor came from there remember?" Wizard asked.
"Oh...right..." Cow Girl said.
"Alright, let's go." Ranger said as they stood up and went to the spire.
"Oh...you're back." H.E. Archmage said as she looked up from her desk.
"We made use of the armor you gave us." GS said as Cow Girl posed.
"I see...and I can sense you made some improvements." H.E. Archmage said impressed.
"We're also here to see what other wonders are available." Fighter said hopefully.
"Well...we have quite a few sights to behold, as long as you respect what's not allowed to be looked into." H.E. Archmage said seriously.
"Will do." Ranger said.
"Very well...just down there. Enjoy the tour." H.E. Archmage said, and the team went down a corridor...and saw mages practice spells of different types, like blowing things up with lightning and fire mixed together...which got Wizard's attention, as Warrior drew his hammer as he thought the same thing: they could do that in the future! They also saw some alchemists turn metal into cloth, or the other way around, some summoners make a swarm of butterfly familiars that make an array of colors that resembled a yarnball of rainbows.
"Wow..." Cow Girl whispered.
"Wow indeed..." Wizard's brother said.
"Thinking of trying that yourself?" Wizard asked.
"I might very well do that someday." Her brother said seriously.
"Alright...what other wonders can we find?" Priestess asked as the baby started whining, then Fighter took her back and looked her over.
"What's her problem?" Rhea Fighter asked.
"Maybe she's overwhelmed. Let's get out of here." Fighter said seriously.
"That's a shame..." Cow Girl said.
"We can come back later." GS said.
"Still." Cow Girl said as they went to leave.
The team went to the docks to get some fish to cook, then they went back home to make some tuna steaks, potatoes, an array of veggies, and even some eggs. Fighter went to the back to breastfeed her baby while the rest of the team cooked.
"It's too bad we didn't do much foraging in the elves' and lizardmen's homelands. Hell, we rarely do much foraging at all." Warrior said.
"We foraged all the time while on missions together, remember?" Wizard asked.
"Of course I do, but it's pretty stupid that the boss gave us all that ranger training and we never got to use it at his side." Warrior said.
"How did you do it?" Ranger asked as he fried some fish, and Cow Girl peeled and mashed some boiled potatoes.
"When you're done, we'll show you on the event recaller." Wizard said.
"Right..." Ranger said.
"Although, spoiler alert, we're not the only ones who put your training to use." Warrior said before Wizard tapped his arm.
"Play nice you two." Fighter said as she came back and gave the baby to Priestess.
"You having a good Mother's Day so far?" Cow Girl asked.
"So far so good." Fighter said.
"As long as we have a say love, it'll end the same way." Ranger said softly as Cow Girl went "aww" and got a funny look from him.
"It's not my fault you two are adorable." She said.
"Right..." Ranger said before checking the fish.
"And?" Cow Girl asked...before Ranger removed the fish from the pan, added some more spice and put them with the rest of the steaks.
"That answer your question?" Fighter asked.
"Let's eat." Rhea Fighter said as they all got their food, sat down, and dug in for several minutes straight.
"Ah...now that's what I call fish." Warrior said as he finished up.
"Didn't you hunt some fish up north sir?" Priestess asked.
"Yep, for myself, as a companion." Ranger said.
"That Herbalist Girl who looks like me?" Fighter asked.
"Same one..." Ranger trailed off.
"What?" Priestess asked.
"Goblins...they took her right out from under me, and I got there just in time." Ranger said.
"How many?" GS asked.
"I didn't count, but it could've easily been a dozen." Ranger said and Cow Girl went pale.
"She...she was captured by a dozen?" She asked in horror.
"He said he stopped them in the nick of time, but...we just ate; let's not think about that too deeply please." Wizard's brother said seriously.
"Right..." Cow Girl whispered before getting a grip.
"As long as those goblins were killed, whatever could've happened doesn't matter." GS said.
"I rarely agree with that sentiment more my good man." Warrior said.
"Now, that recaller?" Ranger asked.
"Right..." Wizard said before taking it out of her bag, and they spent the next half an hour recapping moments where Warrior and Wizard discussed what plants could be used for potions, or poisons, when they were in the wilderness. They even took parts from monsters they helped others took down, like trolls, giant bugs, spiders, snakes, or even bats. Most of the monster parts were sold for coin, especially the bones.
"Huh...I guess those foraging lessons weren't a waste afterall." Ranger said.
"No kidding; we actually did some ourselves." Rhea Fighter said.
"Sure, we used to just buy the stuff we needed from herbalists, and alchemists, but hey." Warrior said.
"Right..." Ranger said.
"Now, I'd like to explore the other side of town please." Fighter said.
"Ready when you are." Cow Girl said.
"Looks like it's about to rain." Priestess said as she looked at the sky that was clouding up.
"Good." Fighter said as she inhaled the freshening air.
"She likes rain..." Warrior whispered to Rhea Fighter and Wizard's brother as they looked around. Eventually, they heard yells...then saw Master Fighter teaching some people katas, and they moved in near-perfect harmony.
"Just like how my father did it..." Fighter whispered as they all watched the conclusion, then they all bowed to Master Fighter and left, before he noticed her.
"I wasn't expecting to see you here..." He said curiously.
"We're here because I wanted to explore the city; it's Mother's Day afterall." Fighter said as Priestess approached with Fighter's daughter.
"Another surprise...I wasn't aware you were a mother either. Who's the father, if I may ask?" Master Fighter asked.
"That would be me master." Ranger said as Master Fighter looked him over.
"And...you are?" Master Fighter asked.
"The Ranger." Ranger said.
"Ranger? The same one people keep saying killed the vampire queen and led the team that aided the Goblin Slayer? If I knew you were that same team, I would've been far more supportive earlier...follow me." Master Fighter said as they went inside the dojo, and went to the back.
"My father had a dojo similar to this one." Fighter said.
"You lost him? My sympathies dear." Master Fighter said seriously.
"Thanks master." Fighter said as Master Fighter sat down.
"May I ask what you intend to do to support us, exactly?" Ranger asked.
"Well...for starters, but I can't give you support yet. I can however give you a chance to make a difference. I know it's out of left field, and it's not a good day to ask for help...but there's actually a crime lord giving static to this part of town. No one knows why the elves and guards aren't helping out, but few people are willing to ask the elves for help, or the city's lord for that matter, and those that do ask for help...wind up getting punished in some form or another." Master Fighter said.
"Punished?" Ranger asked.
"Yes...the worst case I've seen involved a man getting both his knees snapped, and his five-year-old son being threatened with an axe right in front of each other." Master Fighter said.
"What?!" Everyone asks at once.
"I never confronted any of my students, but I have reason to believe that some of them are spies, or at least wannabe recruits for the gang." Master Fighter said.
"You're taking a big risk telling us this, if they find out-" Fighter cuts GS off.
"We'll look into it." She said firmly.
"What? But it's-" Fighter cuts Warrior off.
"I cannot in good conscience have a "good day" while this kind of filth is being thrown at my craft. At the very least, we must get these thugs out of town; show them what happens when they get too close to the wrong place." She said seriously.
"I completely understand, and I'm certain your father would be honored to see his daughter take a stand like this." Master Fighter said.
"Thanks master..." Fighter said softly.
"What exactly are they doing here?" Ranger asked.
"So far, nothing major, but they're moving into this area day by day...I fear they might eventually use this place to use this place to train their thugs-" Fighter cuts Master Fighter off by slamming her fist into the desk.
"No! This will not stand! This place being threatened is one thing, but the idea of this place being used to openly train criminals disgusts me." She said seriously.
"Then let's go find some, and kick their asses." Warrior said.
"Luckily, there is a tournament tomorrow, and it would be a golden opportunity to draw the gang's leader out if you get some of his followers to send a message from me to have some of his best fighters come here to win me over." Master Fighter said.
"There is no way they would fight honorably." Fighter said.
"And even if they did...you're practically opening the door for them to take this place over. You said they didn't do anything major; if you draw them here...nothing more major can happen here." Ranger said.
"I know...but sometimes, to redress the balance-" Fighter cuts Master Fighter off.
"The balance must be destroyed entirely...my father said the same thing once..." She said.
"I see...I thank you all for your help, now...if you have anything else to do, I suggest you get on with it." Master Fighter said seriously as Fighter got up.
"That will not be a problem." She said.
"I could wail on some of them, if you can point me in the right direction." Warrior said.
"No, it should be me." Fighter said.
"Actually...you my dear should remain out of the spotlight, as should anyone else who wants to aid you, at least for now." Master Fighter said.
"He's right. Surprise is key here." Ranger said as Fighter sighed.
"Alright...but be careful please." She said.
"Relax, he's got me, and everyone else. So go enjoy your day; we've got this handled." Wizard said.
"Thanks..." Fighter said as they left...and Master Fighter sighed and looked out the window.
Rookie Warrior and Apprentice Cleric were escorting a cart back to the frontier...and R.W. was chopping through a fallen tree with his axe for a few minutes.
"This...is one...tough...as hell...tree..." R.W. said between swings.
"It's an oak tree, what do you expect?" A.C. asked.
"Helpful..." R.W. said before continuing to chop away. He then froze his axe, and kept chopping into the tree.
"Hey, we can use the wood from that tree!" The driver yelled.
"It's either I do this quick, or we'll be here all day." R.W. said as A.C. sighed.
"Empower!" She yelled and R.W. flexes his muscles then hacked into the tree several times a second, and then picked up some wood pieces, and throwing them into the cart.
"Alright...let's go." The driver said as the cart kept going...then they spotted a troll.
"Ohhhhh shit..." R.W. said before grabbing his crossbow, the empowerment leaks into the crossbow, and his shot staggered the troll as it charged them.
"Holy Smite!" A.C. yelled as the troll was burned by a bolt of lightning from her mace...only to regenerate it's burns, yank the bolt out of it's shoulder, then grab a large rock and throw it at the cart, barely missing it. The troll then charged them again as R.W. got out of the cart, charged it, threw his axe at it's knee, making it fall down just as the empowerment wore off. He then called his axe back to him, as A.C. used Empower on him, and herself, and they each attacked the troll up-close from different sides until it collapsed, then they hit on the head over and over until it died...then it collapsed and fell right on A.C.'s leg, making her scream in pain.
"Hold on!" R.W. said before pushing the dead troll off of her, then looked her leg over.
"How is it...?" A.C. asked nervously.
"Not good. Your leg is busted." R.W. said.
"Oh great..." A.C. said as R.W. picked her up and carried her back to the cart.
"Good thing we brought some of those life potions." R.W. said.
"Right...doesn't make this less painful though." A.C. said as R.W. carefully placed her in the cart, and gave her a potion.
"Think you can handle the trip back?" The driver asked.
"I don't have much choice do I?" A.C. asked as the cart kept going and they kept quiet for several minutes as R.W. eyed the troll.
"Too bad our bosses aren't here; they're have killed that thing with neither of us getting hurt." He said somberly.
"We still did it...and you got me out of yet another jam." A.C. said.
"That's what partners do right?" R.W. asked with a smile.
"Yes...they do..." A.C. said before he gave her a quick kiss.
Ranger and Fighter went home with their baby, so they could be alone, they then spent the whole time watching events they had with their baby on the recaller, from the time at the pond, to the times with the Sword Maiden...as heart-tugging as it was, it was still fitting, to the time Cow Girl watched the festival with their baby. Turns out the event recaller worked on babies' memories as well...somehow.
Meanwhile, Warrior led the group around without their armors to draw less attention. Eventually, they heard some crashing in a corner building...and saw a bunch of thugs trashing the place with a man hiding behind a counter, and a woman in the middle watching the thugs trash the place. Warrior then kicked in the door, startling the thugs.
"What are you doing here!? This is our turf, get lost!" A thug yelled.
"Sorry, no can do. We don't take kindly to scrawny little turdballs turning a good establishment into a junkyard." Warrior said.
"Boy, you're starting something you don't want to finish." The woman said smugly as the thugs cracked their knuckles.
"That's a first..." Warrior said.
"Get him!" A thug yelled as they charged him...then Warrior morphed his armor and punched them all to the ground with one hit each, leaving only the woman there.
"Now...send your boss a message. We know he wants the dojo not far from here. If he wants it, he can have it after the tournament...if he wins." Warrior said to her.
"Oh he'll win...and you'll be sorry." She growled as Warrior morphed his hammer, making her flinch.
"Not as sorry as all of you are now." He said as she ran.
"Did she seriously just leave her men here to die?" Rhea Fighter asked.
"Criminals aren't know for living lives of honor." GS said.
"Yeah, like that wasn't pathetically obvious." Wizard said as the man behind the counter stood.
"Thank you young man. I gave my life to this place..." He said.
"We were looking for them anyway, but you're welcome." Warrior said.
"Let me guess: they were either after protection money, or wanted to just blow off steam?" Wizard asked.
"The former my dear. I've been holding out on them, and they eventually found out." the man said.
"Well, that's going to come to an end soon enough." Cow Girl said.
"But before we go..." Wizard said before looking at her brother, and they used a repair spell to fix what was destroyed as the man watched in awe.
"No need to thank us." Warrior said as they left.
"What next?" Wizard's brother asked.
"Well...we can look for upgrades to our weapons while we're here?" Rhea Fighter asked.
"Not a bad idea..." Warrior said.
"The elves will probably have something for us." GS said.
"Sheesh, two visits in one day..." Wizard said.
"They'll survive." GS said before morphing his armor back on.
"Why are you back?" H.E. Archmage asked.
"Can you give us any upgrades?" GS asked.
"We can upgrade almost anything, just go through there to the alchemical forge and leave me be." H.E. Archmage said.
"Thank you." GS said simply as he walked off.
"Just what are you working on-" H.E. Archmage cuts Cow Girl off.
"I myself am going over the results of what goes on down the corridor you were down earlier today. Now...please go." H.E. Archmage said as the team followed GS.
"So...how are we going to improve our stuff?" Warrior asked.
"I already have something in mind..." GS said.
"Which is?" Rhea Fighter asked as GS approached as alchemist.
"Excuse me? Can you modify a weapon for us?" GS asked.
"That depends, what do you need work done on?" the alchemist said as GS turned to Cow Girl.
"A rifle." GS said, as Cow Girl handed over her gun and the alchemist looked it over.
"This is quite a piece of handiwork..." the alchemist said.
"Can you make it hold more bullets, or even fire faster?" GS asked.
"I'll try, can't promise anything though..." The alchemist said.
"We can pay you for it." GS said.
"Boy, we don't use money for anything but resources, and even then, they environment itself is full of stuff for us to use." The alchemist said.
"Sorry." GS said.
"Ah, forget it. Just get on with your day, and let me work will you?" The alchemist said.
"Thank you." GS said before turning to leave.
"And what if she needs that later on?" Wizard asked.
"One of the scrolls I took from the outcast base me and Ranger raided was a replication scroll." GS said.
"And you're telling us that now because?" Warrior asked.
"I didn't need to until now." GS said.
"Next time you leave in the dark, I swear to the Supreme..." Wizard said as they went outside and saw it raining.
"Wow...rain starts, and she's out like a torch." Fighter said as she put her baby on a series of set-up pillows as a make-shift crib, before sitting next to Ranger and having him hold her next to him.
"You think she'll look like you or me as she grows up?" Ranger asked.
"Who knows, who cares? I'm sure she'll be beautiful either way." Fighter said before kissing him sweetly.
"I ever say I love you?" Ranger asked.
"Not since this morning." Fighter said.
"Well...I do." Ranger said
"I love you too." Fighter said before hugging him tightly.
"Happy Mother's Day..." Ranger whispered before kissing her as deeply as he could before she broke the kiss and snuggled into him.
"Despite what we discovered earlier...this isn't a bad first Mother's Day." Fighter said.
"Until that tournament, you're all ours." He said.
"Don't let me go..." Fighter whispered...then remembered that she said that after he woke up when the Sword Maiden used Resurrection on him.
"I won't..." Ranger said seriously, before she looked up at him. "What is it?"
"Nothing...I just remembered how the Sword Maiden said how lucky I am to be with you..." Fighter said softly.
"I'm sure she still thinks that way. Can't imagine what it's like for her and Storm Mage now." Ranger said.
"Actually...can we use that recaller to see our wedding?" Fighter asked.
"Of course, but...before we do, I have to ask...in Hell, the Hero's Sword Saint friend said I have a better voice when I use Army of One...do I?" Ranger asked and Fighter thought for a moment.
"Let's hear it again..." She said before she used the recaller to listen to him threaten the Demon Lord...and her reaction was immediate. "Ranger...try to copy that voice now please."
"You mean like this...?" Ranger asked with his voice deepened, which makes her suck in a breath.
"Yes, just like that..." She said.
"Well, I'll save it for some times; it's not easy on my throat." Ranger said honestly.
"Can't have that can we? Now...our wedding?" Fighter asked as Ranger used it to recall their wedding. From the time they first saw each other, to seeing the Sword Maiden healthy again after almost a decade, to their vows, to her blessing, to their dance...to the love they made in the bathhouse; thank goodness no one but them were present, and the baby was sound asleep.
"That's...quite enough of that." Ranger said awkwardly as Fighter laughed at him.
"You were so good back then..." Fighter said sensually as she snuggled into him.
"Fighter...not in front of the baby." Ranger said.
"She's asleep." Fighter whispered before licking her lips...and Ranger slammed his lips against hers right away, and even reached into her shirt to rub her belly.
"Good thing your stretch marks are gone. I would be a shame for you to lose some- No...you wouldn't lose any beauty at all." Ranger said.
"Let me guess: because they were evidence of how I gave you a daughter?" Fighter asked.
"Yes indeed." Ranger said seriously.
"I say when she wakes up, we visit that pond again." Fighter said.
"I agree...and I'll never forget what you did for me there." Ranger said softly.
"How could I do anything else...my love and life?" Fighter whispered before kissing him again...and he actually pushed her off of him.
"O.k. o.k...we should get some practice in before that tournament...and then some." Ranger said.
"Right..." Fighter said before getting up, they checked their baby who was still sound asleep; if history was anything to go by, it would be a few hours before she woke up, so the two went out back to get some training in.
"By the way...you know those interrogations I did with those terrorists? How'd I do?" Ranger asked as they morphed their light armor.
"Very scary honey." Fighter said before kissing him, and taking her place on the other side of the arena...after he lightly spanked her, and she gave him a look that said "it's on now"...
Back at the frontier, Summoner returned to from his demon hunting in the late afternoon, for some dinner...and found the place full of people. Most were eating, drinking, and gossiping, and from the looks of things, he got there just in time; some guys were so drunk, they were getting a bit...chaotic. He then approached the tables and noticed Guild Girl who was waiting on some people...before spotting him just as she gave a guy some ale, and her face brightened.
"Summoner!" She exclaimed before giving him a quick hug.
"Hey beautiful." Summoner said softly.
"You still interested in our...date?" Guild Girl asked.
"How can I not be?" Summoner asked as Guild Girl giggled.
"Well, until then...please keep an eye out for trouble; some guys actually hit on me a while ago." She said.
"Figures. Well, no one but me handles you like that." Summoner said seriously as Guild Girl smiled.
"I feel safer already." She said.
"Is that your catchphrase or something?" Summoner teased and Guild Girl patted his chest.
"Just keep a lookout." She said before getting back to work, then Summoner got himself some pork and potato stew, and cider. He was downing the broth of his stew before getting up, then noticing a guy approach Guild Girl, who was sitting down eating her own meal,from a table full of other guys.
"Hey baby, I saw you with that mage guy. You know those guys tend to be walking twigs if you get my meaning?" The guy said.
"He seems alright to me." Guild Girl said simply.
"Well...come with me and my friends over there, and we'll give you more than just "alright"." The guy said.
"I'll be fine, thank you." Guild Girl said before getting up and moving past Summoner as the guy pursued her...and Summoner yanked him back from her.
"Lady said "no". Take a hint." Summoner said sharply.
"Says the guy who probably has to screw her five times to ma-" Summoner shuts the guy up by snapping his fingers and making a stone golem appear out of nowhere, which scares the whole room.
"Finish that sentence at your own risk..." Summoner grumbled.
"Summoner...you made your point. Now put the golem away." the manager said seriously, then Summoner snaps his fingers and the golem vanishes.
"For the record...I was never going to use it seriously, but regardless...I have hundreds of elementals to my name; you might as well call me the general of a personal army." Summoner said as the guy who pursued Guild Girl went back to his table.
"Thanks for that..." Guild Girl whispered before giving him a quick kiss before going back to work, and some people chattered about how lucky Guild Girl was, some men said how lucky Summoner was, and others even mentioned his Gold Rank...which really got people's attention. Summoner then got himself some more stew and cider, and polished it off, before nibbling on some bread as the people eventually left on more quests.
"I hope you're not too full..." Inspector said as Summoner smirked and got up.
"Not anymore...shall we?" He asked.
"Of course, got everything we need right here." Inspector said as she held up a bag, and they went to the team's apartment, and Summoner looked over the gateway Wizard made.
"Something wrong?" Guild Girl asked.
"Well...I am the one who taught Wizard how these things work, but...there's multiple different locations." Summoner said.
"We're after the beach." Inspector said.
"I know that, but I can't tell which one the beach is. I can tell how many places were marked, and each one is different, but she never told me which it is." Summoner said.
"Can't you just send us back and forth between here and each spot until you get it right?" Inspector asked.
"I'd need a restore-magic potion and a half for that." Summoner said.
"Great..." Guild Girl groaned.
"Wait...maybe I can use an elemental in Limbo to decrease the energy cost..." Summoner said before snapping his fingers, a water elemental appeared, and it used the gateway no less than three times before Summoner stopped.
"And?" Inspector asked hopefully.
"Got it! Let's go." Summoner said before they used the gateway...and wound up at the beach.
"Woo-hoo!" The ladies exclaimed before Summoner had the elemental check the environment, as the ladies went to the beach houses, went into one of them, and stripped down to their underwear as Summoner removed his armored cloak, and Inspector took out a few masks.
"What in...?" Summoner trailed off.
"Wizard gave them to us last time we were here. They let us breathe underwater. Sorry I didn't get three." Inspector said.
"Eh, my water elemental lets me breathe and move normally through water anyway." Summoner said.
"O.k...that sort of makes sense-" Guild Girl shut up the moment some sterility potion fell out of the bag.
"Seriously...?" Summoner teased as Inspector chuckled.
"You got me...but hey, this isn't a bad place." She said.
"You're hopeless..." Guild Girl said.
"Bold too." Summoner teased before going up to Inspector and yanking her into a kiss, that she deepened while pressing her body into his.
"Alright alright, let's do some swimming and other things first." Guild Girl said while chuckling while she spoke.
"Right...and you two beauties owe me some stories, and maybe I could tell some myself?" Summoner asked.
"Alright. Well, when we were last here, some of us got coconuts, the Lizard Prest just sunbathed, and...well, the elf and Priestess talked to us a bit about Sword Maiden...but didn't tell us that she went through...that." Guild Girl said.
"Well, she's with my brother now." Summoner said.
"Anyway, we also went swimming close, and further out to sea, with a boat of course." Guild Girl said.
"Sharks?" Summoner asked.
"Yep...a hammerhead, and a whitetip." Inspector said and Summoner's eyes popped.
"A whitetip...? You were both lucky as all hell. I've heard cases where whitetips actually attacked survivors of shipwrecks, just because they were there." He said seriously.
"Dear Supreme..." Inspector whispered.
"Well, as long as there's no more then one, we should be fine." Summoner said.
"On a lighter note, we got some jewels and both Fighter, and that farm girl got their own." Guild Girl said.
"Fighter got a purple one, and the farm girl got an emerald." Inspector said.
"Huh, lucky them." Summoner said.
"Ranger thinks purple is Fighter's color..." Inspector said softly.
"Romantic devil..." Summoner said.
"So...any stories of your own?" Inspector asked.
"Other than some books I've read that unironically pissed some people I knew off, including myself?" Summoner asked.
"What? How?" Guild Girl asked.
"Only with the worst ending to a book ever..." Summoner grumbled.
"Dare I ask?" Guild Girl asked as Summoner sighed.
"O.k...I'm not giving too much away, but it's about a whole group of people who go through a place that needs their help, or the other way around at various times, and...again, I'm not spoiling too much, but quite a few of the events are quite gripping, at least if you ask me. Even the parts where ass-kicking is involved was gripping." Summoner said.
"So...what's the problem?" Inspector asked.
"Well...I'm in a bit of a pickle now; I do recommend it for anyone who's into that kind of thing, but I have to give a warning as well: Do not read the last chapter; the whole thing gets ruined from that point forward, without too much trouble either." Summoner said as the ladies looked, and nodded at each other.
"What happens in the last chapter...?" Guild Girl asked as Summoner sighed again.
"Alright, here we go...everything that the reader experiences, gets attached to, and learns, last chance, spoiler alert...it was all a dream. None of it was real..." Summoner said as the ladies stared at him.
"What...?" Inspector asked dryly.
"Yes, everything was an illusion! Why...on this green and blue Earth, would someone write a masterpiece of a book, only to slap the reader in the face by having it all not be real? It's like growing a garden, and then setting it all on fire! Especially since I actually encouraged some people to get their hands on it themselves, they agreed with me, and some of my friends even reenacted parts of it, then the story stabs us all in the back!" Summoner said.
"Did you at least get something out of it?" Guild Girl asked.
"Of course I did; this book did actually teach me things that help me out to this day, and quite possibly my career was aided by it as well, but that doesn't excuse how utterly disrespectful that was." Summoner said seriously.
"Well...at least people know how not to write a book now." Inspector said.
"Damn straight..." Summoner said.
"Alright, enough of that...we came here to get some action, so...let's go." Guild Girl as they went outside, the ladies put their helmets on, and Summoner drew power from his elemental, and dived in after them. True to his word, he was zipping around in the water like it was no problem, and didn't need a helmet to breathe. The trio then swam around looking at the fishes, the vast ocean in the distance, spotted some sharks as well...including a great white, and even found a sea snake or two, that they gave a wide berth to. It was well-known that sea snakes were some of the most toxic in the world. The great white they saw stayed around but never got close to them, especially since Summoner was the only one who didn't swim back to shallow water when it approached. Eventually, the shark leaves, and so does Summoner.
"Whoa...three- no, I'm sorry, five sharks in two visits." Inspector said.
"Five?" Summoner asked.
"We saw...alot of reef sharks down there as well. Also...it's almost sundown." Guild Girl said.
"Don't tell me you want to sleep here." Summoner said.
"What? You don't want to sleep here, even with us with you?" Inspector teased.
"That's not it; I just think it's a bit questionable." Summoner said.
"Even though I brought that bed you made for me? Or should I say us." Inspector said.
"You shrunk it didn't you?" Guild Girl asked.
"Actually, I shrunk it, and I can grow it." Summoner said.
"Then get in there and get ready..." Guild Girl said.
"Just for reference...are you two...new to this? Because...it'll likely hurt the first time." Summoner said seriously.
"We'll manage." Inspector said before Summoner shrugged, went into their hut, drank a shot glass worth of potion, formed the bed...then turned to see both the ladies buck-naked...and his eyes feasts on their forms.
"And I thought you two were lovely before." Summoner teased as Inspector pushed Guild Girl to Summoner, who caught her and kissed her while Inspector circled him and removed his pants for him... then the two looked at his manhood and then at his face.
"Wow..." Inspector whispered.
"Relax, I'm new to this myself remember?" Summoner asked.
"Right." Guild Girl said before kissing him again as Inspector sucked on his neck while Summoner squeezed Guild Girl's butt as she chuckled into their kiss and caressed his chest.
"So passionate..." Inspector teased as the two in front of her ran their hands up and down each other's bodies while lashing tongues, while she herself caressed everywhere Guild Girl didn't. Eventually Summoner turned Guild Girl around and fondled her breasts as she gasped in bliss, especially when he discovered that she liked having her nipples twisted and Inspector rubbed her own breasts against Summoner's back.
"You want some as well?" He asked.
"You two go first...I want to see what's in store for me." Inspector said.
"In that case..." Summoner then put Guild Girl on the bed as Inspector leaned against the wall, and watched Summoner rub Guild Girl's legs, waist, sides, and belly and eventually...lick her nipples as she held his head in place and moaned in bliss.
"Someone's having a good time." Inspector said.
"Just...wait until...it's your turn." Guild Girl breathed out as Summoner fondled her bosoms and goaded her to spread her legs, as he looked at how moist, and swollen her womanhood was, then looked at her...and got a small nod.
"Relax...if the Sword Maiden can handle this, so can you." Summoner said seriously yet softly as she closed her eyes, and felt him slowly but steadily push into her as she tensed up and sucked in one trembling breath after another as her virginity was removed.
"How is it?" Inspector asked with concern.
"I'll manage..." Guild Girl whispered before Summoner moved out slowly, then back in as she calmed down. Eventually, her tension, turned into ease, and eventually euphoria as he picked up the pace in response to her throaty moans. The two eventually snapped from their orgasms and he collapsed on top of her.
"You managed alright..." Inspector said as Summoner removed himself from her body, then sat on the edge of the bed.
"And you're next." He said as Inspector let out a sharp breath as she approached him, then came down to kiss him while wrapping her legs around his waist. They sat there passionately kissing while he rubbed her smooth, milky thighs and hips, while she giggled into his mouth. Summoner eventually moved up her sides, to her breasts, and gave them the same fondling, and licking treatment he gave Guild Girl...got the same reaction as well.
"Pretty good isn't it?" Guild Girl teased.
"Oh yes..." Inspector said with lust in her voice while Summoner playfully chewed on her breast.
"Plan on using any new tricks?" Guild Girl asked before Summoner released Inspector's breast then squeezed them with his hands the old-fashioned way.
"Actually...I have half a mind to try all of them, but...let's not get ahead of ourselves. Plus, I don't want to hurt either of you too much." He said seriously.
"Well...I'm not hurt at all..." Inspector said sensually as she kissed him, and he let go of her breasts.
"What you might be interested in, is that...you can lower yourself onto me, and move at your pace." Summoner said as he positioned his manhood, and Inspector lowered herself onto him like he said, and groaned as she let him into her body. They then sat there until she was ready several seconds later, and she bounced up and down on his lap slowly, then picked up the pace as she got used to it, then started moaning as Summoner gripped her flopping breasts. Eventually, the two snapped and Summoner held her close, as she caught her breath and chuckled a bit.
"Good idea?" Guild Girl teased as Inspector nodded.
"I don't know about you two but...I've had enough for one time. But what a time it was..." Summoner said as Inspector laughed a bit while caressing his back and kissing his chest.
"Dream come true indeed right?" She asked.
"Oh yes..." Summoner said as Guild Girl sat up and crawled over to him to kiss him.
"Next time...let's do the other things you found out." She said.
"I cannot wait." Summoner said before kissing her again.
"Oh! Show us a World Spawn!" Inspector exclaimed and Guild Girl squealed herself.
"I have to see this!" She said.
"First off...you know I'm still inside you right?" Summoner asked as they looked down to see their bodies were still connected, before Inspector got off his lap.
"Alright...now let's get dressed and watch us a summoning!" Guild Girl exclaimed as the three got dressed, and Summoner grabbed his belt of summon stones he never leaves behind, puts them all in a ring, focuses on them, they spin around like a wheel as the two ladies shake with anticipation...then a portal opened in the middle of the beach where the water touches the sand, the wind picked up, and sand and water flew everywhere.
"This is it!" Inspector exclaimed as a World Spawn formed piece by piece, and stood up with it's arms outstretched to the side, looked at them, and knelt down to their level.
"Ladies...I give you, a World Spawn." Summoner said dramatically as the two looked it over with utter disbelief.
"I've seen towers that weren't that tall..." Guild Girl said as the World Spawn looked them all over.
"It gets better..." Summoner said before chanting in the Demon Lord's tongue for the better part of a minute while the World Spawn vanished.
"Wha- Where did it go?" Guild Girl asked.
"Limbo...the world between worlds." Summoner said.
"What...?" Inspector asked.
"Yep...that World Spawn can be literally anywhere, and no one will know it. But don't worry, it's priority is anything we wouldn't be friendly towards." Summoner said.
"So...these elementals in...Limbo, are they why you can fight demons so well?" Guild Girl asked.
"Not entirely, but they do...alot of work for me." Summoner said.
"Wow..." Guild Girl said.
"Double wow..." Inspector said as the sky started turning dark.
Ranger meanwhile, was helping Fighter train for the tournament; her skills were as sharp as ever, but using her armor was out-of-the-question; she needed to get used to not using it again. She pressed the offense while he stuck to defense, and she pulled every tricks she could think of. From barrages of punches, to going between high and low attacks, to hitting one side, then the other, or the same side more than once, to even fake hits. One time, she threw a punch halfway at Ranger's face, then changed it to hit his chest.
Obviously, she wasn't using her full strength since she didn't want to injure her husband, but the refinement in her skills spoke for itself. They then took it up a notch, but having Fighter use her more advanced moves...which included her backing up, then jumping at Ranger while throwing several kicks before landing, then he jumped before she could grab his legs and trip him, then he backed up as she threw no less than three spinning kicks while jumping, one for each height. Ranger than gave her a life potion to restore her energy, then she smiled from the exercise high, then kissed him deeply.
Happy Mother's Day Fighter...Heaven knows you've earned it. Yes, I know, Mother's Day was two days before the day I posted this chapter, but who cares? In their universe, Mother's Day is today. Anyways...what a Mother's Day it's been, even for Ranger's mom. But, it's not over yet, not even close. Yes I took a page or two out of The Karate Kid's book here, but it's not only...pretty loosely-inspired, but also an accident...which seems to be a theme in this saga. Anyway, what's next you wonder? Well, you're just going to have to Rate, Review, and Share while you wait...stay tuned.
