Monkey Business
Chapter Two
The Next Morning…
The sun began to break through the horizon, its rays rousing Mirajane from deep slumber. Opening her hazy eyes, Mira blinked, she felt something rub against her ass and a hand groping her breast. Turning her head, her eyes widened in shock when she saw Affe's sleeping face in front of hers, the man spooning her while he was sleeping.
As the memory of last night came back to her, blood rushed to Mira's face. Turning away from Affe, she covered her pink cheeks with her hands to hide her embarrassment. 'Oh my god! What on earth have I done?' Though it wasn't forbidden, it was generally frowned upon for a Wizard to sleep with a client while they're in the middle of the job. 'I just...last night...I lost total control!'
Mira's movements stirred Affe and woke him up. Opening his eyes, the older man sat up and stretched, feeling his bones pop back into place. "Ahhhh! That was the best night I've had in years." He turned to Mira and gave her his friendly smile. "Morning, Mirajane!"
"Um...good morning," Mira said, covering herself with the fur blanket and scooting away from the older man.
Despite her reservations, Affe just put on his usual smile as he got up out of the bed. Ignoring Mira staring at his manhood, the man walked out of the room and left Mira alone, leaving her to stew in her embarrassment.
Throwing the covers off of her, Mira got up and headed for the bathroom, covering herself with her hands, nearly moaning from the sensation of the cum in her cunt dripping out. Reaching the bathroom, she jumped into the shower and started to clean herself, her mind replaying the activities that happened in this room in vivid detail. This time, however, she didn't find the unyielding need to masturbate, but Affe's cock pounding into her still echoed in her mind. By the time she finished her shower, she could smell something cooking from the kitchen and put on a blue shirt and jeans before she went into the living room.
Affe was in the kitchen, dressed in a pair of tight blue jeans. The man was busy cooking eggs and bacon for breakfast, humming softly to himself while he cooked. Taking a deep breath, Mira entered the kitchen and swallowed the lump in her throat. "Um...Affe?"
The bearded man turned and smiled at her. "Morning, dear. The bacon's almost done. We'll eat us some breakfast and then head out to search again. "
Mira blushed from the endearing term. "Dear?" she repeated. 'Does he think we're a couple?' She walked over to Affe. "Affe, we're-"
"Here you go!" Affe handed her a plate full of eggs and bacon. "Eat up. You'll need to get your strength back after last night."
"Actually, about last-"
"Hey now, eat before it gets cold!" Affe lightly scolded with a playful smile on his face. Nodding, Mira turned and walked away with her plate. She wanted to correct him and say that last night was just a one-time thing, that she'd just been pent up, but part of her didn't want to say that.
Sitting down at the table, Mira started to eat her breakfast. Her worries subsided from the taste of Affe's cooking. She didn't know what Affe put in his food but every bite put her at ease.
Affe entered the room just as Mira had taken her last bite. In his hand was a breakfast burrito. "You're thinking about it, aren't you?" he asked her, with concerned eyes.
"About what?" Mira asked, looking up. "About last-"
"Those Wizards who I hired…" He brushed her hair behind her ear and stroked her cheek. "I know it's frustrating. I'm worried about them too. I'm the one who hired them and…" he looked away, sadness written all over his face. "And now they're missing too."
Mira nodded, understanding Affe's concern. Still, the touch of his hand on her face made last night's memories of her sucking on his thumb come back to Mira and for a moment, she fought the urge to do it again. "It's alright, Affe," she said after a moment to collect herself and stand up. "We'll find them."
"You're a strong woman, Mira." Affe leaned in to kiss her cheek. For the briefest of moments Mira felt her heart flutter. Soon after, the duo left the house as Affe finished his meal.
Later that day…
Oooka Park
"Are you sure?" Mira asked Affe as they walked along a path in the town's little park. Like the rest of the town, the park was in a state of disrepair. Most of the benches were rotten and broken and the concrete paths were mostly overgrown with weeds. The wall of hedges that lined the central part of the park were overgrown and encroached into the rest of the park. The whole place was in desperate need of a gardener.
"I'm sure. The very first Wizard I hired went missing around here after she said she'd found a clue to who was responsible. But she never came back."
"Did she say why she thought that the disappearances were linked to here?" asked Mira as they neared several overgrown bushes.
"I'm afraid I don't know. All she said was that there were clear signs of-" Affe stopped dead in his tracks when he spotted something in the middle of the bushes. "Wait, there!" He pointed to the bushes. "That's her book!"
Turning to see what Affe was pointing at, Mira saw something half buried at the base of the bushes: a purple-bound book. "Is that hers?"
"Yes. She carried that book everywhere she went." Affe's face went grim. "It's just like the staff."
"Yes, but it's not a body," Mira reminded him, wanting him to see things from a more positive side. "That must be her grimoire. If it is hers, maybe she left a clue inside that'll explain what's going on?" The two walked over to the bushes and Mira bent over. "I'll get it."
The young woman bent over, her jeans trying its best to keep her marvelous ass contained. Affe watched as the woman reached into the bushes, trying her best to avoid the sharp thorns that were growing everywhere. The farther she reached in, the more surrounded by the sharp thorns she became. Finally, her hand touched the spine of the book. "Got it!" She pulled the tome out of the earth and started to slowly inch herself out of the bush.
And then a small, tiny thorn, touched her strained jeans.
Riiiiiiiip!
Mira's face instantly turned red from the sharp noise of her pants being torn rang throughout the park. As soon as she pulled herself out of the bushes, she reached behind her to feel that the thorn had torn a hole right through the center of her jeans! Her panties, ass, and part of her creamy thighs were on full display thanks to the ill-timed hole. "Oh dear…" she blushed, handing the book to Affe as she used her hands to cover her bottom.
"Are you alright? Did any of the thorns get you?" he asked.
"Well...yes and no…" Mira said in embarrassment while covering her ass. "One of the thorns tore my jeans." But she shook off her shame and turned to the book. "What about the grimoire? Is there anything written that might tell us what happened to its owner."
Affe opened the spell tome...only to find that most of the pages had been ripped out and those that were left were illegible. "Nothing," he sighed, closing it shut. "Just another dead end…" He looked back at Mira and saw her trying to cover her ass. "Here." For a moment Mira thought he was going to give her his shirt. "I'll cover for you until we make it back to my place. I'll stich up your jeans when we get back."
Mira was touched by the gesture before she felt him place his hand on her ass, giving a gasp from his fingers touching her through her panties. "But won't your neighbors get the wrong idea?"
"We can go through these hedges and find an exit to the park closer to some empty streets," he said with a knowing smile.
With a nervous smile, Mira nodded. The two started to walk through the overgrown hedge maze in silence. Mira's ears burned when she heard people on the other side of the hedge and was mortified at the thought of being caught in such a compromised position. But more than that...she could feel Affe's fingers through her panties, the touch of his digits near her entrance lighting that fire that drove Mira wild last night. She bit her lip while doing her best to endure it, but every step caused her ass to shake, causing Affe's fingers to rub her slit.
She tried to endure it for as long as she could but the maze they were walking through was endless. Every turn that led into another long stretch made Mira grow anxious and flustered. She constantly kept glancing over at Affe, whose face was impassive, as if the man was trying his best to ignore the feel of her soft ass in his hand. Soon, every step made Mira feel hot, her womanhood starting to feel damp in her panties. When they rounded another corner and found themselves in a dead-end, Mira could take no more.
"Affe…" she panted, her face red from the heat in her loins. She reached behind her and pulled the man's hand off her rear end and turned around. "I know it's unprofessional to ask this of a client, especially while I'm on the job, but...but…" Bending over in front of the man, she reached behind her through the hole in her jeans and pulled her panties to the side, revealing her wet hole. "I need you to fuck me!"
For a moment, Affe stared at the tempting gift before he nodded and smiled. "If that's what you want. I'll gladly help." He undid his jeans to let his cock spring out, Mira licked her lips at the sight of his huge member. Gripping her waist, Affe pushed his dick through the hole in her jeans and slid it into Mira's aching honeypot.
"Fuck!" Mira gasped when Affe thrust inside her and bottomed out her pussy in one go. Affe slowly started to push in and out of her dripping cunt, making Mira smile as her pussy was filled with his man-meat again. Affe didn't waste any time finding his stride. It didn't take long for him to start pounding Mira with strength and ferocity that belied his form. Mira could feel every inch of him stretch her womanly walls, wondering how she could ever go back to other men after this.
Every thrust sent shivers up her spine. It felt like his cock was reaching all the way to her brain from the amount of ecstasy assaulting her mind. Her legs wobbled as she continued to be fucked by the elderly client.
Before Mira could fall over, Affe grabbed her wrists and reined back, treating her like a horse. "Ah! Ah! Ah!" Mira moaned with each slide of Affe's cock inside her. She started bucking into Affe's thrusts, arching her back when Affe tugged on her wrists more. Her large breasts bounced without restraint, threatening to spill out of her shirt.
Mira felt hot. Her whole body was burning as she gave herself to the man. When Affe let go of her wrists for a moment to smack her ass, she took the opportunity to pull her shirt over her head and toss it to the side, letting her bouncy breasts free. Shocking Affe by revealing her lack of a bra.
Then she started to hear noises from the other side of the maze.
Reality came back to her even as her mind succumbed to lust. She realized that they must have been along the outer wall of the maze, next to the street filled with busy townsfolk. She quickly put a hand over her mouth to stifle her lips. If a townsfolk saw, then they would find out the whore she really was. Not only would it muddy the waters even more for this case by them finding her fucking her "Father" in broad daylight. Everyone at Fairy Tail would be mortified and she'd never hear the end of it from Erza and Cana. Elfman and Lisanna couldn't look at her the same way again, and the greater magic community would know all about her scandalous act...
And it made this cock buried in her cunt feel even better. Just imagining the humiliation she would endure almost made her climax right there.
Affe reached forward and grabbed two handfuls of boob. Mira squealed behind her hand as the rough hands groped her chest. Unlike the clumsy security guards who constantly molested her, Affe knew exactly what he was doing. She bit her lip when fingers circled her hard nipples, pinching them slightly. "Mmmmmhh!"
Leaning back into Affe's embrace, Mira lowered her hands covering her mouth and turned to the grey haired man. Drool was splattered across her lips as she tried to ask him to slow down, but her words weren't coming out, and as he saw her lips gaping before him, he bent forth for a kiss. 'He's so big! It's like he's going to fuck a hole right through my womb!'
Mira couldn't take anymore. The heat that seared her body. The hands that toyed with her breasts. The manhood that was pounding her with the ferocity of a wild animal. The dark thrill of being caught. The young woman let herself fall into the pit of pleasure. She melted into Affe's kiss and moaned before her body gave in to the ecstasy. Her pussy squeezed Affe's cock as she gushed, shaking in his arms while he continued to push into her deepest parts. Her mind went blank and she could only think of the monolith digging into her core.
Affe was less vocal as Mira but achieved release regardless. He grunted into Mira's lips before he exploded inside the supermodel's pussy. The white-haired woman went limp in the old man's arms for a moment as he filled her with his seed, her mind turning to mush from the intense heat in her womb.
Slowly Mirajane came back to her senses. Panting for breath, she finally pulled away from Affe, giving a slight groan as his cock slipped out of her pussy. Looking down, she was embarrassed to see the small puddle between her legs. She quickly shifted her panties, keeping Affe's cum from oozing out of her exposed pussy. "Affe…" she started. "I-"
But the client merely smiled as he handed her Mira's discarded shirt. "Let's get you home. We need to get those jeans patched up."
Nodding, Mira followed him down the maze, grateful that the man wasn't making a big deal out of what just happened.
Still, she secretly wished he'd put his hand back on her ass…
The next day…
Mirajane felt conflicted as she walked into the ruined factory with Affe. After they'd gotten back to Affe's house, the man wasted no time in repairing the torn jeans, confident that they wouldn't give the girl anymore trouble, though they had to be put in the wash to clean off the white stains painting her inner thighs. That night, despite her reservations, she'd offered to let Affe share the bed with her instead of letting him sleep on the couch.
The result ended with Mira screaming Affe's name for three very long, very pleasurable hours.
The Fairy Tail Wizard knew that it was wrong to sleep with a client. Yet Affe was unlike any man she'd been with and she silently craved more of him. It was like Affe had become a drug. His calm smile hid the ravenous lover that lay within him. Mira could deny it all she wanted but she was starting to lust after the man old enough to be her father.
They'd reached a burned down workshop, the location where the second Wizard Affe hired went missing. But again, all that remained of Affe's former helper, near one of the workstations, was an enchanted belt. It was the only sign that anyone had been there since the fire.
Affe shook his head and sighed as he picked up the belt. "Another dead end…" he lamented, putting the belt into a satchel he'd brought.
But Mira was more focused on Affe than she was the belt he'd picked up. More importantly, she noticed the large bulge in his pants and felt herself growing hot. She'd hoped that she'd be able to calm down the ache inside her. Yet all day she could think about nothing except Affe and his third leg.
Looking around to make sure there weren't any nearby villagers outside the burnt remains of the workshop, Mira grabbed him by the hand and led him behind the last remaining wall inside the building and dropped to her knees. "Here," she smiled as she unbuttoned his pants, Affe's manhood smacking her in the face as it was freed. "Don't be sad, Affe. Let me make you feel better..."
The next day…
Mira sat up in bed, stretching her cum stained naked body as she felt the sun's rays shine on her beautiful body. Looking out the window at the town, Mira felt like her mission was a lost cause. There was no sign of any of the abducted women and only pieces of equipment from the Wizards who came before her. Part of her didn't want to try to find another clue, convinced it'd be just another dead end.
Affe's hand touched her shoulder. "You want to try to investigate the town again?"
Mira knew her duty was to say yes, that she'd promised Affe they'd find the girls. But her focus remained on the man and the amount of pleasure they'd shared together. Looking up at the sky, Mira noticed clouds in the distance and decided it would be okay to play hooky from her mission. "It looks like it might rain today," she said, pointing at the meager clouds way off in the distance. "Why don't we stay in bed today?"
The man didn't answer. Instead he merely pulled Mira into his arms and kissed her, laying her back down on the bed and spreading her legs…
A week later…
"And you're sure you don't need any help?" asked Lisanna on the other end of the communications Lacrima. "You've been gone an awfully long time."
"Oh I'm fine, Sis." Mira gave her little sister her usual happy smile as she stood in front of the Lacrima that Affe let her borrow. "We're still in the middle of the investigation. I'm certain we'll find the culprit soon," she lied.
"Oh, okay." Lisanna's face betrayed her worry. "You sure you don't need me to send Erza to help?"
"Nope! I got this perfectly handled," Mira insisted, making sure that Lisanna couldn't see anything past her face and perfect bosom. If she had, Lisanna would have noticed the naked man fucking her sister from behind.
It took every ounce of restraint for Mira to not betray herself and reveal what she was actually doing. She and Affe had been fucking like animals every day. They'd both agreed that the mission was pointless and that the missing girls were probably gone. It killed Affe to give up on his own people but thankfully there was a certain white-haired supermodel who was more than willing to pay for the mission's failure with her body.
An idea came to Mira as she held the sides of the lacrima stand with a white-knuckled grip. "Actually, if you feel like you need to help, you can come and join us!" she said with a happy cheer. The thought of having a threesome with her own sister was an idea so dirty she almost climaxed at the thought.
"I would, but I'm going on a job with Wendy and we'll be gone for a few days."
"What about Levy? Or Lucy?" Mira thought about it and she was close to orgasm from the idea of her breasts pressing against Lucy's incredible jugs while they pleasured Affe together, or Levy's fat ass being speared by his magnificent cock.
"Levy is with Team Shadowgear on another job. And Lucy's taking a break after dealing with Natsu and Gray on a Dark Guild removal."
"Awww! That's too bad," Mira said, wiping the sweat from her forehead. Affe didn't let up, even when the woman was close to crying out in ecstasy in front of her own sister. "Well, I gotta go. The job isn't finished yet. I'll contact you later!" she said, her face starting to betray her.
"Oh okay. I'll see you later, Miraja-"
Mira shut off the Lacrima and finally, FINALLY, let out the massive scream that she'd been holding in. "FUUUUUUUCK!" she wailed as she climaxed, clutching the large crystal ball as she felt her lower half melt into the hot rod buried inside of her.
Affe merely chuckled. "Naughty girl," he teased as he pulled out of his girlfriend and turned the woman around. "Getting off while talking to your sister…"
The supermodel smirked before walking away and bending over a table. "Yes, I've been a naughty girl. Won't you give this bad girl a spanking, Daddy?" She winked while smacking her own ass.
Three days later…
A storm had picked up, forcing the Wizard and her client to remain in the house for the day. Not that Mira needed the excuse anymore.
She walked into the room, dressed in what could only be described as the world's skimpiest leotard. The fabric was white and was incredibly tiny, not even big enough to cover her breasts. The outfit's lower half dug into her pussy with every step she took, showing off her exposed ass and back. It covered so little it couldn't really be considered clothing at all.
The outfit had been a gift from Affe to cement their relationship. This was one of many things he bought for her, after he saw Mira eying it through the window he couldn't help himself. While the outfit certainly didn't fit a woman of Mira's curves, it became her favorite outfit to walk around the house in.
Affe sat on the couch, completely naked while he read a book. It didn't bother Mira that the man was in his birthday suit. They'd seen each other naked plenty enough times and it was his house after all.
Sitting down next to him, Mira laid her head on his shoulder and sighed. She shivered as his hand touched her soft thigh and trailed up until he reached her barely clothed pussy. "Mmmmhhh…" she sighed as she reached down between his legs to return the favor. She turned her head and met his lips in a deep kiss while they got each other off. The Wizard could feel the veins of the throbbing manhood, smearing pre-cum across his thick head. Even just touching him made her wet.
"You know, we're running low on bread," Affe noted casually as he stood up and laid his lover on the table. Mira smiled as she moved the part of the leotard that covered her bare pussy, giving a lewd moan as he got on top of her and speared her.
"Ah! I think I saw some...at the market...oh! On sale…" she panted, wrapping her legs around him, her womanhood sucking him in and refusing to let go. The table rattled as its owner pounded his girlfriend, the legs scraping against the floor.
"Why don't you go pick some up tomorrow after the storm lets up?" Affe asked, leaning down to take one of Mira's nipples into his mouth.
"Ooooh! I'd...I'd love to…" Mira groaned, digging her nails into his back while he pleasured her. "I...nghhhhhhh!" Mira's eyes squeezed shut as she climaxed, Affe following not long after her. She grabbed Affe and hugged him tightly as she kissed him passionately, her body melting as he pumped her full of his hot spunk.
Mira could feel his seed leak out after he pulled out of her pussy. Mira reached down and fingered her creampied pussy, stirring up the semen inside her. The woman knew that there was a good chance Affe had gotten her pregnant with how much he'd creampied her again and again in the last week and a half. While the prospect of motherhood would normally scare her, she felt a deep happiness at the idea of giving birth to Affe's child. She could already see herself standing at the altar with Affe, saying their vows before Affe rips off her wedding dress and fucks her in front of the crowd of her closest friends and family.
All Mira could do was smile at the paradise she'd found in Affe…
Days later…
The heavy storm had finally subsided, letting Mira have the opportunity to step out of the house to get some sunshine and show off an outfit Affe had bought her.
The outfit was almost as lewd as her casual leotard. It consisted of merely a tube top that was just barely big enough to cover her nipples and short-shorts that were so microscopic, it did nothing to hide her bare ass with the front almost revealing her hairless pussy to everyone.
Affe stepped out behind her and gave her ass a smack. "Don't be out too late," he said with a smile. "Whoever kidnapped those girls could still be out there."
The supermodel turned around and gave her lover a wide smile. "Oh I know how to take care of myself. I'll be back with those groceries soon!" She leaned in forward and kissed Affe on the lips. The couple passionately making out in front of their neighbors wasn't much of a bother for them anymore. Mira even felt a dirty rush as the man groped her ass in front of everyone in broad daylight. They finally pulled away from each other, panting for breath while a string of saliva connected their tongues.
"I love you...Daddy…" Mira purred seductively.
"I love you too...my minx…" Affe said with a grin.
Mirajane made sure her ass quaked as she walked away and headed for the town's grocery store, feeling Affe's gaze until she turned the corner.
Despite the lewd outfit she was wearing, Mira seemed perfectly at ease. Everyone in Oooka didn't really give her much of a glance as she passed by. Even the security guards who kept hounding her at the beginning had stopped molesting her. She figured that Affe had finally convinced them to stop. 'All the better since Affe is the only one I want to touch me.'
Handing the money to the cashier who was chewing on the display rack, Mira was walking back to her new home with arms full of groceries and a happy smile on her face. She'd grown to like her new town and all their bizarre quirks.
By sheer chance, two children suddenly ran past Mira, almost knocking her over. While Mira avoided being toppled, the sudden shift caused a can of beans that was on top of the bag to fall out. "Oh no!" she cried out as the can rolled away from her, she tried to stop it with her foot, but the can rolled away from her and into the sewage drain. "Great. It fell into the sewers…" she groaned.
Then it suddenly dawned on her. The sewers expanded throughout the entire town. The one place that she and Affe had not even considered looking into. Mira blinked as she realized that she'd been so caught up in her lovemaking with Affe that they'd neglected to look beneath their feet. "I wonder…"
She stopped one of the adults passing by, one that she knew was a neighbor of Affe's. "Excuse me," she said, nonplused at the fact that the girl was wearing lipstick on her eyes and eyeliner on her lips. "Could you take these to Affe's house? I've something I need to check on."
"Ritey-dokey," the girl simply said, taking the groceries into her hands and dashing off, items spilling from the bag from her clumsy run.
Walking into an alley, she found an old sewer grate. Looking around to make sure nobody was watching her, Mire used part of her Take-Over to transform her arm, giving her the strength to pry it up. She jumped into the tunnel beneath her, remembering to close the lid behind her as she slipped into the dark underground.
Thanks to the rain, the tunnel was filled with water and leaves. Mira had been through her fair share of sewers and tunnels on previous jobs, so she was glad that it'd taken care of the worst parts of the sewer's lingering smell. Branches, leaves, and many oddities that had been left out during the rain had drained away to down here.
Mira walked along an old cement walkway as she looked around, trying to get her bearings. She searched the sewers for what felt like hours and found nothing. She mentally kicked herself. "Stupid. I gave up a whole day with Affe for this stupid idea that makes no sense. Who would keep people in these dank sewers? And it's been so long that those girls have to be long gone by now…"
In her self-loathing, the S-class wizard had to do a double take as they actually noticed something, hidden in the darkness, pressed deep into a wall: a door.
Curious, the Wizard walked towards the door and found that there was no lock on it. She opened it and passed through. The first thing she noted was that there was a familiar smell in the air, but more pressing was that it was far better than the revolting scent she had been beside for the last half a day. Moving deeper down the hall, she saw a staircase that led down. As she made her way down the steps, she started hearing something in the distance.
It was the sound of moaning.
Her heart pounding in her chest, Mira dashed down the steps and stopped before a giant door. The noises were definitely coming behind it, so she readied herself before entering the next room. Pushing the door open with a huff of effort, her eyes widened to their limits by what she found.
The room was illuminated by a heavy red light and was as big as the first Fairy Tail guildhall. Chained to the walls along the room were all the missing women! "Wh-what?" Mira sputtered as she saw them. All of the women were stripped naked, many of them pregnant. All of them were straining against their chains, ecstasy etched into the faces of each and every one of them.
Mira ran up to one of the girls and shook her. "Are you okay? Who did this to you?" she asked. But the girl didn't answer. All she could give was an incoherent moan from Mira's touch. Looking at some of the other girls, Mira noted the guild marks on their bodies and realized that this was where the missing Wizards had disappeared to.
"Hang on! I'll go get help!" Mira dashed out of the room and ran up the stairs. When she reached the top of the stairs, she made sure to use her demon claws to leave a trail in order to find her way back. "Gotta find Affe!"
Thankfully, there was a grate just 3 minutes away that she blasted out of, using her Satan Soul to fly to Affe, publicly using her magic so he could help her save the girls. She made it to Affe's house and dashed through the door. "Affe! I did it! I found them!"
"What? What did you find Mira, what are you talking about?!" Affe walked up to his lover with a look of shock and surprise on his face. "Why are you using your magic, I thought we were trying to hide you as a target." He had a slew of questions for her.
"The girls, I found them, all of the abducted girls are right beneath our feet." Mira had a smile on her face that looked quite terrifying with her demonic appearance, though her outfit was actually somehow less slutty than what he bought her. "Come on I need your help to free them, we need to bring everyone in and if someone tries to run, we'll know who it is that kidnapped them."
"We did it!" She cried out as she threw her arms around him and dug her face into his chest in the biggest hug she could muster. Affe shouting in cheer as well before hugging her back. Mira's heart was soaring as she held her love close.
And then her blood went cold. Rigidly her arms moved back and she took her face out of his chest and looked up at her client with terrified eyes. That smell in the side area was the exact same as Affe's food, and it stuck to him like a cloud. Suddenly, the hot haze that had permeated the Wizard's mind gave way to cold reality as the pieces fell into place. The pieces of the missing Wizards all having been discarded at random. The thorn bush so conveniently next to a hedge maze to hide a wardrobe malfunction. The complete and utter lack of any clues to the culprit... Mira was so overwhelmed that she felt as if she was suffocating.
Taking steps back, Mira pushed his arms off her demonic body as she was starting to hyperventilate. "It was you," she choked out as her eyes filled with both hurt and disgust. "You're the one who kidnapped everyone, and you worked alongside the mages so you could try to seem innocent by attempting to find the culprit."
Affe just looked at her with hurt and confusion plastered across his face. "What? Why would you say that?" He reached a hand out for her that she batted away.
"Don't lie to me!" She marched into the kitchen and threw open one of the spice pots. It didn't surprise her at all that the purple spice inside carried the same aroma as the one in the room. "Explain why this is the same stuff that's filled the room I found the girls in! I've smelt this stuff nowhere but here! Explain yourself, Affe!"
For a moment, Mira hoped against hope that Affe had an explanation. That this had all been just a coincidence and that she was just jumping to the wrong conclusion. But that hope died when Affe's expression darkened and he simply cackled. "Well now! Looks like the jig is up!" he laughed. His lips stretched into a wicked smile. "What a shame. You were becoming my favorite girl. I was going to keep you for myself."
"W-what?"
Affe merely continued to grin as he stalked towards the girl, his shadow stretching behind him. "You don't need to worry about those girls. You'll soon be joining them." He licked his lips at the tasty outfit Mira wore. "I think I'll let you keep the outfit. It suits a slut like you."
"If you think you've got the upper hand, you're sorely mistaken," Mira said, glaring.
"Oh, I know how powerful the Demon is. But…" Affe's body started to grow, his skin straining as if his skeleton had become too big for his flesh to hold. "You were ours the moment you set foot in the village."
A bright flash of light blinded Mirajane. She covered her eyes and braced herself as a huge shadow loomed over her. Opening her eyes, she gasped in shock at what Affe had become.
Standing in place of the old man was now the biggest Vulcan she'd ever seen! The monster's gold fur shimmered in the afternoon light as he stared down at Mirajane. "So tell me, Mira…" he laughed as he reached for the woman. "Are you ready for some more fun time with Daddy?"
Cursing her own foolishness, Mira shook off the betrayal that stung her heart and quickly reared back an electric coated fist. "Go to hell!" She punched Affe in his expansive chest and sent him flying out of the house. Mira ran through the destroyed wall, ready to give the Vulcan the beatdown of a lifetime...only to be met by an entire town of Vulcans. After seeing Mira flying to Affe's house, the residents of the town had shed their skins to reveal their true forms.
