The Starlight Celebration. A time of merriment and gift giving, a time to spend with family and loved ones.

Nanamo loved The Starlight Celebration. She loved the decorations, she loved the joy it brought to the people, she loved the food as well.. except for that infernal Ore Fruitcake. Why in the seven hells they insisted on serving that was beyond her, the thing was dense as a rock and tasted as bland… And for the record, her dislike for the despicable cake definitely didn't have anything to do with the fact that she got clobbered with one a few years ago. Oh no definitely not, just like how the guy that thought it would be funny didn't get turned into a living pretzel by Raubahn.

But that's neither here nor there now is it?

Ever since she was a child Nanamo had loved The Starlight Celebration. She and Mother would go for a walk down the Ruby Exchange, visiting various game stalls and food vendors alike… though there was that one embarrassing time when her mother had dressed her in that reindeer outfit.. but the less spoken about that the better. God's she still doesn't hear the end of it from her cousin, despite the fact that she was dressed in a snowman outfit...though now that she thought about it…

"Why would I be embarrassed about that Nanamo? I looked fucking adorable!" Yeah that's right. Tataru didn't have a shred of shame… god's she honestly wished she had her courage.

But then again, Tataru also tended to do stupid shit so maybe not… yes she is talking about the time she got 'mauled' by her Carbuncle after she threw it at a sheep.

No seriously, she found out she had joined the Adventures Guild and had insisted on coming along for one of her field training sessions. Next thing she knew she was watching her run away from her Carbuncle (whom she had given the name Cabbage for some reason) and an angry lamb.

(Flashback)

"Kick it's butt Cabbage!" Tataru ordered her Carbuncle.

However 'Cabbage' simply sat there and stared at her.

A few fulms away, a 'small' lamb lazily ate some grass.

"Cabbage c'mooon… you're embarrassing meee." Tataru pitifully begged her summoned companion.

*pbff*

Nanamo looked at Naruko "Did that Carbuncle just fart?" Naruko shrugged, just as clueless as she was.

It was an aetherical construct, it can't fart.. can it?

"Oh that's it!" Tataru yelled as she marched over and picked Cabbage up.

"Tataru, that's not a good-"

"YEET!" Tataru shouted as she flung the small creature as hard as she could.

*Thunk*

"Aha! Got it in one!" Tataru exclaimed happily. Turning her head she looked at Nanamo "See, that's how you-"

*Fwoosh*

A condensed ball of wind hit Tataru clean in the stomach, sending her flying back comically and kicked up a small cloud of dirt. After a few moments, the dust cloud cleared, allowing Naruko and Nanamo to see Tataru…

"She's not wearing pants." Nanamo said with a blank expression. Her hand resting gently on the sword on her hip.

And how did she know? Well that's simple…

Tataru was currently face down, ass up in the dirt and her custom robe had blown up over her head… allowing Naruko and Nanamo to see her rather tasteful choice in undergarments.

"Can that even be classed as underwear?" Nanamo murmured. Really how the hell is that underwear? It's practically a small strip of cloth on a string!

"Yeah.. I've noticed she does that a lot." Naruko said offhandedly.

"Really?"

Naruko gave a short nod "I mean, she wears a cotton tabard nearly everyday.. and that thing goes down to just above her knees."

Nanamo looked at her cousin and then back to Naruko "How can you tell then?"

Naruko shrugged, "If you can't see her pants, assume she's not wearing any."

Nanamo facepalmed. Not a shred of shame in that girl… seriously. Though if she was being honest, she was somewhat jealous. Somewhat.. not completely.

"If it makes you feel any better, she only does it at our HQ.. and whenever she's at one of my houses or my apartment."

Nanamo shot Naruko an accusatory look "Oh really? Anything I should know about?"

Naruko shrugged "What? It's not like we do anything… she usually just crashes at one of my places for some reason.. Hell, one time I found her asleep in my pantry.. not sure how she got the keys to my apartment in Mist though.. Besides, you're the one who told us that you are fine with sharing."

"I said if you fuck her, I want in. But sure." The Sultana corrected with a huff. Tataru already had her fair share of Naruko during the weeks before Operation Archon and them getting together. So she'll be damned if she lets her get ahead again.

"I swear you are such a perv." Naruko teased. Nanamo shrugged "And? For the better part of my life I was very sheltered… and at least I'm tasteful about it. Unlike Tataru." She said, pointing at her cousin who was now running away from her carbuncle and the lamb.

"That swimsuit you wore when we went to the Moonfire Faire says otherwise." Naruko teased.

Nanamo blushed fiercely at the memory. "T-t-that was…"

"Or how you dragged me behind the rocks to make out, only for Raubahn to stumble across us while I was-" Nanamo started punching Naruko's leg "Shut up shut up shut up!" She shouted, her face burning a bright red.

"Aww what's the matter? Can't take a little teasing?" Naruko teased. But Nanamo kept up her assault on her leg.

Meanwhile, Tataru somehow gained the ire of a Goobbue and was now running from that while carrying her Carbuncle. "HEEEEELLP!"

Naruko let out a sigh. "I swear, you and her are so bloody prone to injury." She said humorously as she started to walk towards the Goobbue. "I swear, this is like her stint as a miner all over again." Naruko chuckled as she casually walked towards the Goobbue as Tataru screams out in horror due to said lumbering giant sneezing on her, which covered the poor girl in a thick layer of mucus.

"It got in my mouth.. IT GOT IN MY MOOOOOUTH!"

(Flashback End)

But that was neither here nor there.

Now, as much as she loved the Starlight Celebration.. she hasn't exactly had the chance to celebrate it with Naruko.

Y'know.. with the whole getting poisoned and all.. which sucked by the way. No really, for over a week she couldn't stomach most food due to the poison lingering in her stomach for so long. She was lucky that Naruko's White Mage Crystal prevented the worst of the effects… Though that being said, she could have done without the absolutely nightmarish process of the now inert poison leaving her body… by the Twelve and she thought that time she had food poisoning was bad.

But yet again, that's not what we are talking about. The fact is, she had never had the chance to spend this most wonderful holiday with her dear Naruko… until now that is… but uhh… yeah, this was not quite what she had in mind when she asked Tataru for advice.

Know that she thought about it… this always happens when she goes to her for advice!

"S-so you are certain that Naruko will like this?" Nanamo asked shyly as she examined herself in the mirror.

Next to her Tataru gave a thumbs up. "Yep. You look down right sexy. And so do I!" She said with a certain knowing grin while striking a pose.

Nanamo looked at her cousin for a moment as she took in the.. rather interesting outfit she had on.

Or really lack of, as all she was wearing was the shawl of a Starlight Robe, a red thong with little fluffy white pom poms dangling from the string, red stirrup stockings with a fluffy white trim and a Dream Hat on her head.

"I don't get why you're nervous. This was your idea!" Tataru said matter of factly. "Besides, I made that ensemble you are wearing, and by Thal I better see Naruko tear that thing off you. Ya hear me!" She said as she gave Nanamo's outfit one last look over.

The style she had gone with was that of a Starlight Tunic… however she had altered the design heavily.

And by that she meant that instead of wearing a shoulderless festive dress, Nanamo was essentially wearing a festive corset with an extremely short skirt. Paired with that she wore a pair of simple black stockings and a mistletoe themed choker.

"My idea?! You're the one who said we should dress up all sexy like and surprise Naruko!" Nanamo shouted back. Of course Tataru would try to say this was her idea. Just like the time when they were children and they snuck into the royal kitchen in search of cookies.

Tataru simply waved her off "Meh, details… do you think she'll like her gift though?" Tataru said, motioning to the rather large wrapped present that sat at the foot of Naruko's bed.

Nanamo looked unsure for a moment "I mean.. probably…. Still don't know how you convinced her to go along." She said as the box rustled slightly and a soft yet muffled moan came from within… yeah, she really hoped that wasn't a moan of pain or something.

"Would you believe me if I said that she suggested that we tie her up with those ribbons, and that the ball gag and toy are hers." Tataru said as she sat on the bed.

"Why on earth did she have a candy cane ball gag?"

Tataru shrugged "I dunno… but she definitely seemed the type to be into weird shit."

"You're telling me. You can hear the hum of that toy of hers right?" Nanamo asked.

And true to her words, there was a light humming sound coming from the box.

"I swear, it's always the bookish ones." Tataru said as she shook her head with a small smirk. "And did you see the size of that thing!? It's like six and a half, maybe seven ilms." Tataru said, retaining her smirk.

"And?" Nanamo asked as she checked her Tomestone. It was 7:20 pm.. Naruko should be here in a few.

"Heh yeah, that thing Naruko does is bigger." Tataru said with a perverse look in her eye. How and why Naruko created a form of spell that temporarily gave her an aether based penis, was a subject that most were a little bit uncomfortable to discuss… Primarily because y'know, her being the Warrior of Light and all… that and because when she offhandedly mentioned it to the alliance leaders out of boredom, she decided 'hey, wanna see a demonstration!?' because they thought she was just fucking around and she kinda took offence.. this ended up causing poor Raubahn to yell out in horror(hey, he had come to see her as a daughter after all).. which caused Jenlyns who was speaking with Papashan just outside of the Fragrant Chamber to burst in.. leading to.. actually, you get the picture.

Man, she really should have convinced Naruko to patent the spell or something.. they could have made a killing. But alas, Naruko had written down a eighty page manual on how to do the spell, the aether requirements and the possible risks. Made copies of said manual, and then personally delivered them to the Arcanist and Thaumaturge guilds as well as mailed a few copies to Sharlayan on Krile's advice… though she had gotten a rather angry letter from the Studium and a few rather exuberant letters from a few students and scholars who thought the spell was fascinating(whether in a sexual way or not, she didn't know).

Hell. They even offered to let her come to Sharlayan to discuss the non-sexual uses of her spell, but she turned it down for the moment. Luckily, it was an open invitation so if she ever needed to go to Sharlayan in the future, that's her in.

Kinda sucks she isn't allowed to use the spell though. Seeing as she has the tendency to use to much aether in spells and such.

"You've been quiet for a while, Tataru." Nanamo said from near the door. Ah, Naruko must have just entered the house.

"I'm just thinking is all." Tataru responded as she responded as she stood next to her cousin. "Hmph.. that's a first."

Ignoring Tataru's gasp of faux shock, Nanamo began counting down.

"Four, three, two-"

*Click*

The door gently swung open to reveal Naruko who was wearing the proper version of the Starlight Robe.

Upon seeing Nanamo and Tataru, her eyes widened with a fierce blush forming on her cheeks. After a moment of… taking in the rather wondrous sight before her, a small grin formed "My my my.. I must've been a rather good girl if two of The Saint's most beautiful Little Helpers have decided to meet me for a.. private exchange." She said as she shut the door and locked it.

Nanamo blushed at Naruko's praise whilst Tataru merely struck a pose "Oh of course Naruko. After all, saving the realm multiple times over deserves a reward of.. extraordinary magnitude." She said as she sauntered over to the Hyur, taking hold of her left arm as she got close to her.

Following Tataru's example, Nanamo followed suit "Well said Tataru. After all.. with all the work and effort. I'd say you deserve quite the reward." She said as she took her lover's right arm, leading Naruko to lean down onto one knee.

"Mmh.. you two look stunning in those…!" Naruko froze as her hand slid under Nanamo's skirt.

"What's the matter dear?" The green eyed woman said with a grin "Too much for..Ah!" She moaned as Naruko's finger gently rubbed across her womanhood.

"My my, not wearing panties? Someone's been a naughty girl." Naruko said huskily as she firmly squeezed both Lalafell women's asses.

"Mmh~ Very Naughty." Tataru moaned.

"B-but before we.. Ah.. we continue..we got you a gift." Nanamo said as Naruko continued to assault hers and Tataru bottoms.

"Oh really?" The red haired Warrior of Light said curiously.

Pulling themselves(albeit reluctantly) from Naruko's grasp, the two Lalafells showed the rather large present sitting at the foot of the bed.

"Why don't you open it up and take a peek? I'm certain you'll love the contents." Tataru said as she beckoned Naruko over with her finger.

With a shrug she complied. But as she approached, she noticed two things.

First, there was a slight humming sound coming from the box, along with another sound that she couldn't quite put her finger on.

Secondly, as she got closer, she noticed the bottom of the box seemed a touch.. damp?

"I wonder what it is?" Naruko murmured as she prised the lid off the box.

"Let's see what… what the hell!?" Naruko yelled in shock as she stared into the box and a pair of blue, half-lidded and lust filled eyes stared back.

-The next morning-

"So... Last night was fun." Tataru said happily as she sipped on her tea. She looked extremely worn out and hair was a mess, and she was clad only in one of Naruko's shirts..but the massive grin on her face spoke volumes.

"Mmh.. quite." Nanamo murmured from the couch. Just like her energetic cousin, she looked rather worn out. Her hair was just as messy perhaps more so, but that could just be because it was longer. And just like Tataru, she had pilfered something from Naruko's closet, a singlet oddly enough.. though strangely, her stockings had survived the night and remained where they were.

After Naruko opened her present, things got a bit wild afterwards… how Naruko had the energy to get up at 4 in the morning to start prepping for tonight's Starlight Celebration party, she had no clue…

She also would have preferred to stay in bed and cuddle for a few more hours. But alas, Naruko wanted to have a get together tonight so she had to get up early to start prepping the Dodo roast and other things.

That was two and a half hours ago and she was still in the kitchen… Luckily, Alisaie and Y'shtola had come over an hour or so ago to help. So the prep work should be done soon, then they could have pancakes for breakfast.

"Hey, do you think she's awake yet?" Tataru asked as she sipped her peppermint tea.

Nanamo shrugged "I don't know.. Naruko gave it to her rather-" she was cut off by Alisaie shouting from the kitchen.

"Why in Thaliak's name are you naked!"

Tataru and Nanamo stared at each other for a moment before bursting out into a fit of laughter. Looks like that answered their question.

-Moments earlier-

"Ok, keep whisking that cream until it forms soft peaks." Naruko instructed Alisaie as she mixed another bowl.

"Got it."

Looking over her shoulder, Naruko saw Y'shtola frying the bacon that would be going into the stuffing and potato salad "You sure you are good with that?"

Y'shtola rolled her eyes, "Yes Naruko. I may be blind, but I can see." She said before she sensed a familiar aether on her peripheral vision. "Oh? I didn't know Krile was here." She said with a small smirk.

Just then, Krile stumbled softly into the Kitchen "I need coffee.." she murmured with a tired yawn.

"I'm just about done with this." Alisaie said as she examined the now whipped cream. "How do you like your-" turning towards Krile, the Elezen teens face went a bright red.

"Why in Thaliak's name are you naked!" She yelled in shock.

"I'm wha?" Krile murmured, as she slowly awoke fully.

"Here, black with four sugars." Naruko chuckled as she handed the naked woman a steaming mug.

"Thanks babe." Krile said sleepily before slowly walking with a slight limp to the couch. Leaving an extremely confused Alisaie making confused Alisaie noises.

"Oh and Krile." Naruko called out "Do put some clothes on. It's quite cold this morning." She finished, getting a thumbs up from Krile as she sipped her coffee.

Y'shtola shook her head, a small grin on her face. 'Never a dull moment with you my friend.' she thought as she put the now cooked bacon bits onto a plate to so she could cook the rest.

"Not gonna lie, she looks really good with her hair down." Naruko muttered.

"Oh shite! I'm naked!" A now fully awake Krile shouted before she ran off to Naruko's room in embarrassment.

Never a dull moment indeed.


I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and I hope you all have a happy new year.

Now then.. as you can see with this chapter I have indeed added Krile to the pairing. I'm thinking of one maybe two more people to add to it and one of them isn't a Lalafell! Weird I know. But I actually thought of it a while back.. I'm talking, before I solidified Nanamo as the main pairing.

Also, tell me what you think of Naruko's little project. Y'know, the manual she made. Because I have an idea that I think will be hilarious.. It involves some Fantasia and an angry(and temporarily smaller) Naruko chasing Tataru around Mor Dhona with a mop while Nanamo chases after them... And let's just say it may or may not have lasting effects.

Welp, I've taken up enough of your time. Stay safe out there people.

Man, I wonder what shenanigans are coming next… What, didja expect a preview? ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯
