Things took a turn for the weird after Fie and everyone else returned to the Courageous. George had pretty much guilt tripped Rean into helping him build a workshop to process that massive rock a tired Laura had brought aboard. The two girls had hung around for a while, but Fie - not wanting to be coerced into having to help him - eventually dragged the exhausted Laura away to an unoccupied bedroom, passing an exasperated looking Jusis along the way.
Her initial plan had simply been for the two of them to relax together while swapping tales of their respective missions, but after finishing had decided to take advantage of their solitude for a little fun. Laura was as shy as ever when she started making her advances, but since she wasn't refusing Fie took that as an invitation to aggressively kiss the older girl. Laura had such a nice taste to her. She was ready to escalate further-
When all the lights went out.
That was enough to ruin the moment. Lights going out on an airship was usually a very bad sign. Thankfully they came back almost immediately and it didn't seem like their engines had failed or any other signs pointing towards their imminent demise, so Fie gave a mental shrug. She was just about to coerce Laura back into their previous activities-
When Rean's voice called out over the intercoms ordering all of them to the conference room.
There was no coming back from that one so she and a still flushed Laura recomposed themselves before following the given command. They weren't the first ones in the room, but neither were they the last. While waiting she glanced around towards the others. Everyone seemed just as confused as to why he had called them all there. Given the worried look Rean was sporting she could only assume that this was gonna be something troublesome.
Nothing could have prepared her for the news that Phantom Thief B had not only infiltrated the ship, but had also somehow replaced one of their classmates secretly. And for some strange reason the crazy thief had decided that she was to be Rean's assistant as he struggled to figure out who was the impostor.
The enforcer had even laid down some rules for this so-called game. None of them were allowed to discuss any events that had happened before returning to the Courageous, and nobody who wasn't a member of Class VII could participate. Sadly, that included Sara.
...She had been so hoping that Sara was actually Bleublanc. Would have made her day.
Once the others were gone Fie glanced at who remained. With her and Rean being confirmed clean it meant there were eight possibilities of who it could be. She had absolutely no idea how they should do this and a glance towards her partner confirmed he was just as clueless. Great. They were already off to such a good start.
Her suggestion to frisk her classmates was a half-hearted one, but one he latched upon immediately. Normally such an opportunity would be a fun one for the girl. A chance to poke fun at Emma's big boobs, or fluster Alisa with a dirty comment, or tickle Millium, or all of the above with Laura. That all sounded really fun.
Instead she had to take the job seriously as the idea of that slimy thief being one of them creeped her out too much. Thus she quickly and efficiently got the job done, finishing even before Rean was done with the other boys. Sadly they failed to find any clues to help them out.
Instead Rean opted to ask each of them what they had been doing after splitting up from each other. Although Fie considered herself decent at reading body language, against a professional such as Bleublanc she doubted it would be enough. Still, she was determined to observe their reactions while also trying to remember their testimony as much as possible.
Elliot's story that he had been working on his weapon alongside Machias before going off on his own to the training room sounded solid enough in theory. It would certainly be easy for Phantom Thief B to get the jump on the timid musician, but would he really so be cruel? It would be like kidnapping a small helpless animal.
Machias was next and while the first part of his story matched up well with Elliot's, the part where he claimed to have left half an hour later to play a friendly game of pool against Jusis was suspicious as hell. But only one of the two boys could be Bleublanc, right? It was still sketchy, but maybe they were finally being true to themselves. Could they be following the same route she had taken with Laura? Hot if true.
...Although privately Fie found herself kinda hoping the thief was Machias. That would definitely be the funniest result with Sara out of the game.
Following up on that story Rean naturally turned to Jusis. The blonde noble had a spar with Gaius – something which Fie kinda wished she had watched – before going off to the game room where he backed up his rival's claim. Still really weird. Maybe the thief had an accomplice? Could they both be Bleublanc?
Gaius of course backed up that story, but after parting from Jusis he had naturally gone to the deck to enjoy the wind. Is it possible that people from Nord were actually sentient windmills? Would the spearman run out of energy if the wind ever stopped blowing?
Fie blinked. Definitely getting off topic there. While his story certainly sounded like something he would do, everyone knew about his love of a good breeze so she couldn't immediately discount him as a suspect.
With all the boys done Rean naturally turned his attention to the girls, starting with Alisa. The rich girl had spent some time with Millium before being invited into Princess Alfin's room. It was possible that by using the name of someone outside the game Bleublanc was trying to make his actions less suspicious. Alisa seemed to notice her thought process as she shrank slightly under her flat stare.
With that story Rean turned to Millium, who confirmed the first part of Alisa's story. After that the excitable girl had returned to the break room with her bear. That meant that she had nobody to vouch for her during that time period. Still, she had shown Fie (and all the other girls) her bear already. It was a cute bear, even if it was no Mishy.
Emma really stood out as she had nobody to vouch for her the entire time, claiming to have instead been with Dorothee the entire time. It was the same problem that Alisa had, but at a much worse level. Emma's insistence that Celine had been with her did little to help her case and she seemed to understand it as she began to look quite nervous under the scrutiny.
Still, while it was a line of thinking well outside of the scope of the game, Fie couldn't help but think that if Bleublanc really was impersonating one of them he would do so with a more elaborate story. It seemed like the kind of weird honor he would have. She wouldn't completely discount Emma or Alisa, but at the same time she was willing to give them a little extra doubt.
Plus, the idea of the strange enforcer impersonating a girl like Emma was kinda twisted. Would the guy really run around with big boobs like that? Seems like something he would want to avoid if he wanted to not look like a total perv.
Last was Laura, but she already knew what the blue-haired girl had been doing. "Fie and I were together in one of the nap rooms the entire time."
"Ooh! Were you doing something naughty?!"
"N-No!" Great. Millium's comment had Laura flustered. She was totally gonna say something stupid. "We were recounting our missions today... For the most part." And there it was. It took considerable effort for her to not facepalm at the slip.
There were a few amused reactions from the others, but Gaius was the only one who spoke up. "Hopefully you aren't the impostor, for Fie's sake if nothing else."
Fie froze... That was something she had not considered. While the girl certainly looked, sounded, and even tasted like Laura, what if it actually hadn't been Laura? "I swear to the Goddess if Laura is the guilty one I'm throwing myself off the deck." And she was serious, too. The mere thought that she had kissed the enforcer was enough to cause her to die a little on the inside.
"Alright, let's get back on topic." Despite his words Rean looked amused. Did he not realize just how dangerous the situation was?
Fine, whatever. Rean being a big jerk aside there was still the issue at hand to resolve. Sadly, nothing that anyone had said gave away anything useful. Perhaps they simply needed to press them more? Her suggestion of that very thing was enough to earn the swordsman's approval and he opted to go around the table once more, this time asking who everyone had seen during their activities.
Elliot saw Jusis and Gaius together. Jusis confirmed he saw Elliot and also reminded Fie that he had passed them in the hall. Gaius saw Alisa alone. It was a lot to keep track of, so she simply didn't. Nothing they said sounded wrong so it was enough for her to forget about their stories.
Machias claiming that he saw both her and Laura as they entered the room together, on the other hand, did stick with her. Sure it wasn't as if she had her guard up during that time as she was focused on the other girl, but it was Machias! Sara or Rean she could easily buy approaching her without being spotted, but him? Laura might not have the same level of awareness as her, but she was no slouch either, so her not noticing him either only made it more confusing.
Maybe she simply had been too focused on Laura to notice these things. There was no doubt that she was becoming very relaxed around her friends, after all. But it was definitely suspicious.
The girls were more straightforward. Alisa agreed with Gaius's statement, but had seen no one else. Neither Millium nor Emma saw anyone during their travels, and Laura confirmed they had passed Jusis together. Those ones all lined up with the other statements.
And that was everyone. She had her suspicions, but no definitive proof. She was not a detective, after all. "Any idea who's our guilty party, Rean?"
Luckily for her... "Yeah, I've got a good idea now."
He looked confident, but there was more than a a hint of uncertainty in his eyes that she could understand well. Even if she wasn't the one making the call the idea of having to accuse one of their friends of being a wanted criminal left her feeling uncomfortable. The possibility of getting it wrong...
Bleublanc was an even more twisted individual than she had given him credit for.
Reaching over she took his hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. It was a simple gesture, but it seemed to do the job as he took a deep breath before shooting her a grateful smile. With calmness restored he turned his attention towards the rest of the class. "It's you-"
Please don't be Laura. Please don't be Laura. Please don't be Laura.
"...Machias!" Her exhale of relief went unnoticed as all of Class VII reacted to the news, none more so than the accused in question.
But while she was glad of his answer, as his assistant it was her job to make sure he was on the mira with his guess. "What's your evidence?"
His explanation was both thorough and concise, and left her feeling a little like an idiot afterwords. She and Laura had passed Jusis while in the halls, but Machias claimed to have seen them too while heading towards the game room. But Jusis claimed that he was there for half an hour before Machias had arrived, making both claims to be impossible. And since Jusis' word was backed up by her, Laura, and a bunch of other witnesses...
"Hahahaha... Hahahahahaha!" It was both incredibly relieving and super weird to see Machias bursting out in crazed laughter. Relief because it confirmed Rean to be right with his accusation. Weird because it was Machias of all people laughing like that. "Well reasoned, my friends. A fine deduction, if I say so myself. You are correct – I am Phantom Thief B!"
Whatever weird illusion he had been using faded away and in the place of their supposed classmate now stood the obnoxious thief. Even though they had seen it before it didn't change just how weird the guy was. Their efforts to corner the thief were unsurprisingly a failure as the enforcer simply teleported away, but not before informing them of the closet where the real Machias was trapped.
Something which proved true as she, Rean, Jusis, and Millium soon discovered. The poor guy had been gagged and bound to a chair. It must have been an ordeal for the bespectacled gunner.
And yet in Fie's eyes the whole thing was pretty hilarious. So much in fact that even as Rean rushed over to help their friend her only move was to grab her ARCUS and start snapping some pictures.
Machias must have seen it as he made some muffled noises, prompting Rean to pull off his gag. "What are you doing, Fie?!"
"Preserving this moment for future generations."
The tied-up student could only thrash about impotently, which only served to hinder Rean's efforts at untying him. "You will do no such thing! Someone stop her!"
Poor Machias. Who was there to stop her? Rean? The guy was already busy with the rope. And even if that weren't the case the guy was a total softy who would let her have her fun.
Millium? Hah! The tiny girl was giggling maniacally as she witnessed the ongoing spectacle. If anything she was Fie's ally.
And that just left... "You are doing us all a great favor. If you were to send me a copy I would be eternally in your debt." Yeah. Jusis definitely wasn't helping his rival out here. Naturally Fie nodded her assent. She had already been planning on sharing it with the others, so putting the son of Duke Albarea into her debt was a very nice bonus indeed.
"Me too! Me too!"
Despite no longer being tied up, Machias made no move to escape the chair after she made a big show of sending the pictures to all her friends. "...Just leave me be. I think I'm going to live in this closet until the shame of everything has passed over."
Jusis needed no further prompting as he left his rival with a wide grin on his face that was entirely alien to the composed noble. "Come along, Millium. Let us respect Regnitz's wishes."
The two exited, leaving just her and Rean with the former captive. The swordsman was looking at his friend with worry as Machias slumped down in abject misery. Maybe she had gone too far? She knew just the way to perk someone up.
Pat. Pat. Pat.
"Um... Fie? I don't think he likes getting his head patted."
As if to confirm Rean's statement the bespectacled boy moaned in dismay, causing her to pull away her arm with a heavy frown. "And this is why I love you and not him. What kind of weirdo doesn't appreciate a good head pat?"
That such a simple statement of love could still fluster the boy entertained her greatly. It was as if she had a secret power that allowed her to control the skilled swordsman. The fact that the reverse was also true didn't bother her much. He – And Laura – were both her greatest strength and her biggest weakness. They were all tied together in-
She blinked as a thought came to mind, almost causing her to fall out of step with Rean as they left the closet together. It was such a terrible thought. Terrible and cruel.
And really hot.
Glancing over at the black-haired boy she bit her lip. To go through with it or not? He would definitely hate it, and Laura would too... At least she would at first. It would take a lot of planning and a little bit of manipulation, but she was confident it could be ready that night. She couldn't help but let out an excited chuckle, already looking forward to the culmination of her great plan.
"Um... Fie? You're kinda scaring me."
"You should be scared."
When Towa asked Laura to come to the bridge that evening the girl wasn't sure what to expect. Her normally friendly temporary captain was being surprisingly tight-lipped, although the smile on the tiny girl's face was enough to put her at ease a little. Upon arrival Towa simply pointed a finger towards the terminal that Class VII used for their missions.
And upon the screen was the face of a man she knew very well. "Hello, Laura."
"Father!?" The daughter of the Radiant Blademaster could only blink in confusion. "I-It's good to see you again. I must say, this is quite unexpected."
"Indeed it is. Things have gotten quiet for the moment so the prince and Captain Towa were kind enough to indulge in my selfish request to allow me the chance to speak with you."
Now that the surprise was wearing off she was able to look at her father more rationally. "I've heard the fighting in the west has been especially harsh. I am gladdened to see you're alright." Sure he was one of the most powerful people she knew, but that would never stop her from worrying about him.
Something the master swordsman must have known as he chuckled lightly. "I could say the same for you too, you know. Neither Prince Olivert nor myself expected your class to end up doing half the things you have when we entrusted the Courageous to you."
"Relax." He continued when she looked away sheepishly. "That was not an admonishment. We are very proud of the work that you and the others have been doing. Even this far west people are talking about the Crimson Wings of Hope and the students it contains. Still, what kind of father would I be if I didn't worry about his little girl in the middle of a war?" Father paused as his gaze grew sharper as he gazed upon her. "...Although perhaps I need not worry as much? It appears you have grown stronger these past few days."
Was he really able to pick that much up just from looking at her through a screen? "Well... I'm not sure if I have grown much stronger, but I was able to perform my Radiant Lion in our last battle."
"Were you now?" The smile on his face grew a little. "Most impressive. You are further along on the road to mastery then you probably realize."
"...I hadn't really thought about that."
"Of course you hadn't. I am quite certain that your only thoughts are to protect your classmates. The soul of Arseid is that of a protector. That you have managed to pick it up so quickly is a testament to yourself and the bonds you have formed. Your decision to enroll at Thors has proven to be the correct one for you."
She smiled brightly. "Yes, I think so too-"
"...Although I must admit to some surprise at seeing the form these bonds of yours have taken." The older man coughed awkwardly before averting his gaze.
Laura's smile froze on her face, becoming brittle as she understood the conversation was about to take a very awkward turn. "O-Oh..."
"Y-Yes. Prince Olivert was quite vivid when retelling a tale told to him by the princess."
Sure this conversation was probably inevitable, but currently she found herself loathing Fie so very much for creating such a public spectacle. And why were Erebonian royals so interested in her love life?! Right now she wished to be anywhere except in front of this screen. "F-Father, I..."
"R-Relax. I have no intention of telling you how to act." That was very appreciated, but it still didn't change the fact that this entire conversation was entirely too awkward! "That being said, I do believe a conversation with Miss Claussell will be in order."
"Father, no! They've only just finished repairing the damage you did to the training room!" There had to be some way to stop him from causing another scene... right?
...Although privately a little part of Laura was looking forward to seeing Fie get her deserved comeuppance.
"My apologies, but this is something that needs to be done. A father needs to look out for his little girl, after all. Anyone who dares break your heart deserves nothing less than a meeting with Galland-Sharl!"
That loud and humiliating declaration caused her to glance behind her towards the bridge crew. Towa and the others appeared to be too far away to overhear her, but that didn't seem to stop Angelica and Vivi from glancing over at her with wide smirks on their faces. She had a sinking feeling that this private conversation was not nearly as private as she wished it to be. "F-Father, please!"
The older man let out a chuckle. "Alright, I suppose that is enough with the jests." For some strange reason she seriously doubted his threats were a mere jest.
"Honestly..."
Her father stood a little straighter, suddenly appearing as the famous Radiant Blademaster known throughout the world. "In all seriousness I want you to know that I support your actions entirely, be it as the Viscount of Legram, the head of the Arseid school, and most importantly, as your father. The path you are walking might be... quite unique, but it is a path entirely yours. So long as your heart remains righteous I will support your decision to follow it, wheresoever it takes you."
As painfully awkward as the entire conversation had been she felt at peace. "Thank you, father. I promise I won't do anything to disappoint you or the Arseid name."
"I know you won't. I believe it is time for me to go. I am quite certain it will not be long until we are reunited again. When that time comes I will be most curious to see how your unique bonds will have shaped your swordsmanship."
"I look forward to that day." With a smile and a nod her father cut the connection between them, leaving the screen to glow silently in the dark. She glanced down at the terminal. J-Just how was she supposed to turn it off? Usually Alisa or Rean handled the computer. M-Maybe it was that red button-
"W-Wait!" A tiny hand grabbed onto hers before she could follow through on her action. Towa – the owner of said hand – looked at her with a very strained smile. "A-Allow me to handle it! I'm sure you have something more important to be doing with your time!"
First of all, the fact the president-turned-captain was able to respond so quickly was pretty suspicious. Had she also been eavesdropping from afar? Of greater note, however, was just how panicked Towa looked at the mere prospect of her pushing a button. Now why would she be acting like that...
Of course. The answer was too obvious. Someone had probably told the others about her mishap in the RF Store. Although she had no definitive proof the guilty culprit was all too obvious.
Between Towa's look and the now very audible giggling she heard from the rest of the bridge crew Laura couldn't help but pout petulantly. How utterly humiliating. With what little grace remained to the usually proud noblewoman she made a swift exit from the bridge, with no real destination in mind.
She had just reached the elevator when her ARCUS chimed. Curiously she answered. "Hell-"
"Come to the infirmary, quickly." Came Fie's voice through the line. Laura felt a spike of worry. Had someone been hurt. "Nah. It's nothing serious. I just wanna have a chat somewhere private." Somehow she had been able to read her thoughts clearly. Laura opened her mouth to retort, but the other girl had ended the call before she could say a word.
That was odd. Usually she didn't bother calling like that. The blue-haired warrior couldn't help but wonder if her mischievous friend was up to something. Still, she wasn't one to refuse the invitation.
The elevator only made it down one level before opening to admit another rider. It was Rean, ARCUS in hand and a brow furrowed in confusion. Those signs were enough for her to hazard a guess. "Did Fie call you too?"
"Uh, yeah." He answered lamely. Given that he had been on the fourth floor and looked a little worn she could only assume he had been doing some late night training. "I don't suppose she told you anything more?"
"Sorry." She was curious if he had made any strides in his swordsmanship, but the elevator was already stopping on the second floor, where there destination lay. Wordlessly the two made the final trek towards the medical room. With some trepidation Rean opened the door and the two entered.
...To find a madly grinning Fie staring back at them. Every alarm bell in Laura's head was going off, even some she didn't know she possessed. "Great. You guys made it. Close the door."
"W-What's this all about?"
"Oh, nothing much. Just thought of a fun activity for us..." The younger girl tilted her head in thought before amending her statement. "Most of us, at least. You trust me, right Rean?"
"Uh..." Their leader trailed off nervously as he seemingly pieced together the fact that he was the one being excluded from whatever it was Fie had planned. "...With my life?" It still didn't stop him from answering honestly, even if he appeared very worried about it.
Something which caused the little gremlin to nod approvingly. "Good. Now sit in this chair and keep an eye on the door. Don't let anyone in."
That request seemed tame enough, but considering the object Fie had just grabbed Laura suspected an ulterior motive. "Why do you have a rope?"
She glanced down at the object in her hands before looking back with a bored expression. "Gotta make sure he doesn't run away from his job."
"I-I don't know why I would try to run away?"
The silver-haired girl shook her head with a sigh. "Fine. I was trying to be nice about this. In that case, think of this as your punishment."
"My... punishment?"
"Uh huh. Back when you told us you were never going to leave us again before running off to hang out with Crow just a few hours later." Rean opened his mouth, but he was quickly cut off. "We know. You didn't have much choice. That's why this is your punishment." She tilted her head in thought. "Who knows? You might end up enjoying it. Gonna be a hell of a show at least."
"W-Wait!" Laura finally pieced together Fie's plan. "This is the infirmary! We can't do that here!" Her burning blush only grew in intensity as Rean allowed himself to be dragged into the offered seat. Either he felt guilty enough about the broken promise to accept whatever weird punishment Fie had planned or he had silently agreed with this perverse plan. Either way he was a spineless coward who needed to stand up for himself for once in his life!
Naturally, Fie completely ignored her, instead focusing her attention on tying an uncomfortable looking Rean to the chair. "There! All good. I'm trash with knots, but that rope is thick enough to keep you in place. Now..." Her eyes locked with Laura as she smirked. "I'm sick and tired of this stupid war. We get so little time together and it's always interrupted by jerks. We're doing this now that we're alone. ...Or would you rather someone walk in on us again like the guys did last time?"
"The guys did what!?"
"You always play the prim and proper noble..." Fie continued, ignoring Rean's outrage as she stalked closer and closer to her, like a predator cornering its prey. "...but I know you. Deep down you want this just as much as I do. It's time for you to admit it."
"...Damn you." A frustrated Laura muttered under her breath as she was unable to deny her words.
Fie paused before tilting her head in confusion. "Huh? What was that?" It seemed that not even her sharp hearing managed to pick that one up.
"I said damn you!" She exploded in indignant anger as she reached out and grab a surprised Fie by the arms before spinning her around an into the wall with a loud thud.
"Fie!"
"You're right, dammit!" The noblewoman snarled. "All my life I was trained to be in control of myself, but you somehow managed to tear it all down in a few months! The others keep looking at me weirdly! Father couldn't even look me in the eye when we talked!" She took a deep breath to calm herself a little as she stared into the eyes of the shocked girl. "...Rean's not the only one getting punished right now."
Through the haze of anger and lust what little remained of her rationality couldn't help but marvel at just how light Fie was. It was little challenge for her to keep the younger girl pinned against the wall, something which became awfully apparent when her captive tried squirming out of her grip, but found it impossible. She smiled nervously at Laura upon realizing the futility of her situation. "S-So what kind of punishment-"
Laura silenced her with a quick kiss. "You don't get to talk!" Truth be told she had no idea what she was doing. She only had the one sexual experience to rely upon, and that had been with a boy and not a girl. Still, it was impossible to forget what Rean had done to her body and she had to assume such ministrations would work on Fie just as well.
She adjusted her grip so that she could keep her pinned in place with a single arm. With her other hand free she reached down and roughly grasped Fie's breast, causing the captive girl to let out a moan. Whether it was of pain or of pleasure Laura didn't know nor did she care, but she wanted to investigate further.
It was a good thing the younger girl generally kept her jacket open, as it allowed easier access to her target. Unfortunately, however, her top was a different story altogether. The stubborn article of clothing was too tight on the girl, and with her pinned to the wall and her jacket still on would be impossible to remove.
So instead she simply got around that problem by using both hands to tear the offending top right down the middle. "H-Hey!" Fie was so shocked that she failed to react to the brief moment of freedom.
"No! Talking!" Once again she was silenced with another firm kiss. Later on Laura would feel some regret for her impulsive act of destruction, but right now that thought couldn't have been further from her mind. Now with the girl topless she had free reign to explore her breasts freely.
As her fingers explored Fie's chest she couldn't help but marvel at them. Her smaller boobs felt entirely different from her own, but touching them was no less enjoyable. Something about the petite girl was absolutely intoxicating-
No. Now was not the time for that. Fie still needed to be punished. With newfound purpose her hand abandoned its exploration, instead opting to grasp onto her tip before giving it a tug. "Ahhhn!" Fie gasped out while arching her back.
This caused the Arseid to narrow her eyes, even as she continued to fondle the other girl's chest. "You liked that, didn't you?" Fie – despite her flushed face and excited eyes – refused to give an answer. "Huh. So you can be quiet. I'm impressed. Still, there are other ways for me to find out."
It was no small feat unbuckling the belt of her shorts with a single hand, but perseverance and lust carried the day. With that barrier removed Laura was free to snake her hand underneath. It didn't take long for her to find out what she sought, especially as her captive made no efforts in defending herself from the probing fingers.
Pulling her hand away she presented it to the panting girl. "Look at this! They're all wet! I can't believe you're such a filthy girl to be feeling pleasure from this punishment." With her point made she returned the hand back to its exploration of the other girl's most sacred place.
It was hard to tell between the pleasured gasps, flushed face, and tears pooling in her eyes, but Laura was certain that Fie desperately wanted to say something, even as she continued to tease her lover. After leaning in and giving her one more kiss she relented. "Fine. You can speak."
"Pl-Please..." She gasped out.
"Please what?" The Arseid already knew what her captive wanted, but she wanted to hear the prideful jaeger say it for herself.
"Please... Let me cum!"
The power she currently held over Fie was exhilarating. A cruel part of her wanted to deny the pleading request, but that was just a small part. The rest of her wanted to see the end result for herself. Decision made she aimed to fulfill the request by allowing her finger to slip past the folds, fully entering the girl for the first time.
That proved to be the final straw for the mischievous jaeger, as with a final cry she reached orgasm, all but drowning Laura's digit in pleasurable release. Pulling away the swordswoman watched in satisfaction as the girl slumped down the ground like a marionette with its strings cut. There was something so satisfying about seeing the normally so confident and composed girl panting tiredly on the ground, in utter defeat...
A shuffling noise from behind caused her to avert her gaze from the erotic sight. What she saw caused her to freeze in shock.
She had completely forgotten about Rean!
The male was staring at her with the widest eyes imaginable even as he struggled with the bonds that held him in place. And given the prominent bulge in his pants she couldn't begin to imagine just how uncomfortable he was.
...And was she imagining things, or did his eyes flicker a dark crimson for just a brief moment?
Before she could double check on that a pair of slender arms wrapped around her from behind. "Wha-?"
"That was pretty awesome, I admit it." Fie practically purred out. Either the girl hadn't been as utterly defeated as she initially looked or her opportunism couldn't pass up on Laura's distracted state, but Laura knew she was in trouble now. "But now it's my turn!"
With a gentle shove the noblewoman found herself shoved onto the infirmary bed. She turned as she landed, curious - and more than a little eager – to see what was coming next. Instead of immediately following up on her action Fie instead opted to begin removing the tattered remnants of her clothes. Belatedly Laura realized that she was doing the same thing.
Once finished her lover wasted no time in pouncing onto the bed and atop of her. The sensation of their heated kiss was enhanced greatly as the catlike girl began rubbing herself upon Laura, creating a wondrous friction with their naked bodies. Laura's hands instinctively sought out her toned butt while Fie in turn delighted herself by playing with the taller girl's chest.
As much as she hated to admit it, Laura knew she had lost all control of the situation. Their previous actions had lit a fire in her core and now Fie's ministrations had her poised to erupt. Something which the younger girl must have noticed as she ended her kiss and gave a cocky grin. "Not yet. I want a taste first."
Had she still possessed the capacity for coherent thought she would have questioned what Fie meant, but as she did not she could only stare breathlessly as the little minx pulled away before sliding down her body. Once her destination became clear the swordswoman could only shiver in nervous anticipation, even as she subconsciously spread her legs to allow easier access.
When Rean had performed the indecent act he had done so as a man bereft of water, lapping away with such intensity that left her legs quivering for days. Fie however was playing a different game, as the younger girl played the role of an absolute tease, tormenting her nether regions with the lightest of actions. Little kisses, feathery touches, and the occasional moments of pure pleasure with her tongue.
It was exquisite torment. Every time Laura thought she was about to reach her peak the cruel girl between her legs would relent. How could someone with so little experience be so skillful? "P-Please..." It really was a full role reversal at this point as she found herself completely helpless underneath her former captive.
Fie must have been waiting for that, because as soon as she uttered the word the girl abandoned her teasing and clamped down on her womanhood with her mouth.
That final act of erotic stimulation proved too much for her. She had already been on edge after their previous actions and her body no longer had the will to resist. With an arched back and shrill cry the young woman found her release, giving Fie the taste she coveted so badly.
Her orgasm was matched by a release of power that had nothing to do with the two girls. With her mind still rebooting itself after the sexual activity she was slow to parse what had happened. The sounds of rope being torn to shreds was enough to slowly bring her back to focus.
It was Rean. Or more specifically, it was an ashen-haired Rean. She wasn't entirely sure what had happened, but somehow the swordsman had released his powers and freed himself. Thankfully there was still intelligence in those now crimson orbs, but something about him seemed... feral.
And now he was approaching them like a predator stalking cornered prey.
"Well..." A tired Fie mused as she too gazed upon the approaching boy. "I think we're screwed." Although the words were a warning the girl made no move to escape, instead watching with a growing smile. Laura too found her gaze transfixed upon the approaching figure.
With equal parts fear and excitement the two girls accepted their imminent fate.
"W-What's going on!?" Emma cried out as she rushed towards her assembled friends. She had been on the deck feeding Celine some leftover fish when a power that was most definitely Rean's burst out from the interior of the ship. Her search for the source had led her to the infirmary, where everyone seemed to be gathering. "Why isn't anyone doing-"
A loud female scream from inside the room interrupted her words. But that was not a scream of terror or pain or anything like that. That was something else entirely. And it sounded just like Fie.
"...And that's why nobody is stupid enough to go in there." Jusis tried to keep a dry look on his face, but the noble had a very uncharacteristic flush on his face.
R-Rean was using his powers to do something like that!? T-that was so irresponsible of him. A-And was the area getting a little hotter or was that just her?
"...Should we make sure they're alright?" Elliot looked about ready to pass out as he shuffled in place awkwardly.
"Are you daft!?" Machias scolded immediately. "Nobody's going in there!"
Millium seemed to be the only one unaffected by the atmosphere as she raised a hand ."Ooh! I'll go!"
"No you don't." Surprisingly it was Instructor Sara who stopped the girl. Emma wasn't sure their teacher could actually be responsible in a situation like this. Of course naturally the older woman ruined it with a salacious grin. "Gotta say, I'm proud of Fie. To think she got him going like that-
This time it was Sara who was interrupted by a loud shriek. Except this one was different.
"That was Laura!" Alisa gasped out. "A-Are the three of them really doing THAT!?"
"Ahh! I can't take it anymore!" Angelica screamed almost as loudly as the coupling trio continued in the room. "I'm so jealous of Rean! I'm not the only one who's going to be thinking about this all night long, right? My fingers are gonna be-"
"Angie!"
The biker shrugged easily. "You may scold me Towa, but I don't see you disagreeing." The captain could only look away awkwardly.
Looking around Emma could see the same awkward expression on the faces of most of her classmates. Angelica's words were crude, but Emma had a sinking feeling there was some truth in them.
There would not be much sleeping on board the Courageous that night.
And I'm back! Reverie has been great fun. Been trying to pace myself since I have a bad habit of completing these games in like a week. Abyss difficulty has been a godsend for that. Still, I'm already at the finale so it won't be long now before the long wait until Kuro begins. Been having lots of fun with it though!
