A SKETCHRAPTOR PRODUCTION
Alicia gave a cry of surprise upon having her shoulders touched and spun around to see Rafaela with her eyepatch slightly raised before she adjusted it.
'What's the matter with you?' The Demon Succubus asked as Alicia regained her composure.
'Rafaela, I am relieved to see you alive and well, but where have you been?' Alicia said with the rest of the pirates appearing with the heavy scent of booze floating through the air. Stepping outside for a fresh dose of air, Rafaela looked to see Alicia talking to Lily until the knight sped off on her horse and Karin watched her leave.
'We were off making the biggest score of our whole life as pirates on this island we found days ago and…' Rafaela began to explain to Alicia.
Later
'Naruto.' Shamsiel said to the heavily sleeping shinobi in question as he lie sprawled out in Celestine's bed before he awakened after being shook a few more times.
'Celestine, I'm not a machine!' Naruto said in his half-awake state of mind before yawning.
'Mornin, or should I say Good Afternoon?' Shamsiel said with the blonde stretching.
'I really slept through half the whole day?' Naruto groggily said while getting to his feet and it was then he heard Celestine's voice echo in his head.
'Naruto, are you awake?' The High Elf's voice spoke in telepathy.
'I am now. Is something going on?' Naruto responded.
'Yes, Rafaela and her crew have arrived at the docks in Ur and Feoh.' Celestine spoke in relieved glee and Naruto looked to Shamsiel. Not long afterwards, the pair teleported to the docks to find Rafaela and the crew being greeted by the Chivalry.
'Damn. We didn't mean to make anybody flip out over us being gone so long.' Olyvia said.
'The important thing is that you're alive and well.' Prim happily said to Rafaela.
'Better than that; see for yourself and Origa, we've found something you'll be surprised at.' Rafaela said as she looked to the artifacts being unloaded for her museum and multiple statues of Dark Elves wielding spears with the first one being presented being a statue of Anatolia akin to the one Celestine possessed of Laurentia.
'Remarkable! You found this on an uninhabited island on an archipelago?' Origa said with fascination upon studying the statue.
'Yes, but that one island was the only one with any treasure on it at all and it's a good thing too since I don't think any more would fit.' Rafaela laughed with Karin noticing Naruto.
'Well, well, look whose here.' Karin smiled.
'Naruto, isn't this a nice surprise! What are you doing all the way out here?' Rafaela said.
'On vacation, but good to see you're all okay!' Naruto said with more of Alicia and Prim's forces arriving to begin bringing the artifacts to the museum with the Dark Elf statues being brought to Origa's citadel.
'Who's this?' Rafaela said upon noticing Shamsiel.
'Name's Shamsiel Shahar. Nice to meet you.' The younger Succubus spiritedly said to Rafaela, who gave her a pleasant expression.
'Wait, you were on an island in the archipelago?' Naruto asked.
'Yeah. What of it?' Olyvia asked.
'Thing is, I went to an island not long ago looking for you not far from Raulbhach and when I went there…' Naruto said before finding himself at a loss for words at how to describe the murderous entity he entered.
'Wouldn't sweat it, Naruto. Tell you what: we'll meet up with you later after we're done with helping Prim and Origa get settled.' Rafaela said.
'Sounds like a plan.' Naruto said with the pirates going off in separate ways and he then noticed Catue rubbing her throat.
'You alright over there, Catue-hime?'
'Don't mind me. I think I'm starting to get somewhere with breathing fire so this must be a sign that I'm nearly ready.' Catue said with Nina quickly retreating once Naruto stepped next to her.
'Mother?' Catue said.
'I'll be going back now, so good day, everyone.' Nina said as she hurried moved to a nearby portal that took her back to Dragundaala and she walked through the castle until she settled down on the throne. She lowly panted as the memory of Naruto's hands on her breasts and his pride poking into her caused her nipples to become excited in the present along with a fiery feeling building in her loins.
While she had always found Naruto cute, the Dragundaala Queen couldn't help but flush at feeling this intense lust towards someone who might as well be her son-in-law and even with Lawrence's death still being relatively fresh in her mind, her near-intimacy with the younger blonde only served to remind her of the lonely reality in being a widow. As these thoughts conflicted in her head with her worry of potentially damaging Catue's relationship should she act on her impulses, her body heat led to her getting off the throne and heading to her private quarters to relieve her lustful quakes.
Back with Naruto
'Hey, Naruto, are you alright?' Angelica asked.
'Totally, why do you ask?' Naruto said.
'For starters, you look like you just got out of bed. Long night?' Meiriin asked with Shamsiel giggling to herself at knowing the truth.
'Oh, you have no idea.' Naruto chuckled with Celestine tenderly smiling at him.
'Is the church you're staying in being too noisy?' Irena asked.
'No, it isn't noise at all. It's….well…' Naruto started to say and Celestine touched his shoulder.
'Well, Naruto's clones did spend a great deal looking for Rafaela so I'd imagine he must have been up for some time. Right?' Celestine said and Angelica looked at her cousin before her eyes went back to Naruto.
'More like my horny cousin spent a great deal riding him like a horse.' Angelica thought with Celestine looking to her once again as if having read her thoughts and she took a step back with caution.
'Bingo! I was up all night sending out clones to search for them.' Naruto said.
'At least that means some well-earned sleep for you.' Arsura charmingly smiled and Shamsiel again giggled to herself.
'Celestine has more stamina in bed than even me. That'll be a joy to find out.' Shamsiel smiled.
'Yeah, I'll try to.' Naruto said and Ruu-Ruu chuckled.
'I have the best idea on how to test if you're that tired.' Ruu-Ruu mischievously said.
'Tell me you're not thinking of…' Willan said.
'Oh, Miria! Naruto is too tired to run from you!' Ruu-Ruu called out at the top of her voice and Naruto's face went pale before looking where Origa had gone to see a blur heading back. Panicking, the blonde teleported out of sight with half of the Chivalry laughing away at this as said busty Dark Elf appeared and looked to the Halfling.
'Not seeing any cheeks to pinch so it looks like he's not that tired.' Miria said.
'You two are just alike.' Nana said.
'Come now, Nana. As my father always said, once you live as long as I have, some the best things about it are messing with others.' Miria proudly said
'Shardio was a hell of a Dark Elf, wasn't he?' Ruu-Ruu smiled.
'You'd better believe it, Ruu-Ruu, but let me know if he's mobile next time you see him.' Miria said before leaving.
'I'm surprised she didn't ask where he could have gone.' Shamsiel said.
'The psychology of Miria teasing Naruto is something to behold but since you're new, I'll put it this way: Cat. Ball of yarn.' Claudia said while gesturing to the departing Dark Elf before doing likewise in the direction Naruto vanished.
'No better way of summing up things between those two.' Maia chuckled to herself before taking her leave and Catue rubbed at her throat.
'Say, Catue, your throat's been bothering you for a while now. Are you certain you're alright?' Claudia said.
'I assure you, Claudia-sensei, this is more than likely a sign that my attempts to breathe fire are getting somewhere.' Catue smiled with the Holy Knight still giving her disciple a concerned look.
'Don't worry; I won't resume training until my throat feels better.' Catue said.
'Well, for your sake, I hope you recover well, Catue.' Celestine said and the Dragon Knight Princess smiled to the Goddess before looking down at a crystal ball she had received earlier in the day that came with a note attached.
'Thank you.' She said before taking her leave with the Goddess, Claudia, and Shamsiel making their way back to Thorn.
'Think Naruto's back at your place?' Shamsiel asked.
'Perhaps he's resting.' Celestine said and a mischievous smile appeared on Shamsiel's lips.
'Are ya going to give it to him again?' Shamsiel inquired and Celestine couldn't help but lightly flush at the previous night in which she had meant to help him relax with one thing leading to another until their series of Godly-stamina lovemaking occurred.
'I think it best to allow him to rest if that's what he's doing at the moment.' Celestine said with Claudia smiling to herself about the pair and pictured herself with the shinobi in question before finding herself pondering how long it would take for her to fully accept her newfound relationship with him. Even with Prim and Shamsiel joining his harem, the Holy Knight wasn't the least bit eager to resume things with him faster than necessary and looked back to the Elf beside her.
Elsewhere
'That's perfect!' Prim smiled as her people set up the artifacts around the museum and Alicia looked to see Roxana appear.
'Good day to you, Roxana.' Alicia said with the pink-haired Princess greeting her and Prim.
'This is incredible.' Roxana said upon seeing all that Rafaela had brought for the museum with the items ranging from unusual spears, ancient runes literatures, a number of masks that had tribal markings on them and multiple sets of carving tools.
'Yes, Rafaela really went all out on that island, didn't she?' Prim smiled.
'Indeed! At this rate, this place will be opening pretty soon.' Roxana spoke with enthusiasm and Prim looked around.
'I'll say!' Prim said.
In Garan
'This is too incredible!' Hermione said as she helped set the Dark Elf statues in the art room of the citadel and she looked to Anatolia's statue.
'Good work, but where would you like Anatolia-sama?' Meiriin asked Origa.
'Place her in the throne room. I cannot think of a more fitting place for her.' Origa said with Sana perched on her shoulder and she looked at the statues with surprise.
'Who could have made all these statue?.' Sana/Delva asked herself and Rutejia stood by Miria for a time before the blue-haired elf helped move them. As they did this, Chloe noticed the statue of the Dark Elf woman with the wreath of twigs and stood in place staring at it with disbelief.
'Chloe, is something wrong…' Meiriin said with her eyes nearly bugging out of her head at the statue before looking back to the half-elf with Origa and Miria joining them in equal surprise. They looked at the woman before Origa's hands suddenly tightening into fists as she broke her gaze away from the statue and looked to Chloe.
'Chloe….' Origa said with the blonde elf not saying anything.
'Worthless.' Echoed the venomous voice of a woman in Chloe's mind as she stared at the statue and Origa gently set her hand on her shoulder to which she finally looked to her.
'I'll be alright, Origa-sama.' Chloe said in her usual tone of voice and Rafaela glanced at the two as the half Dark Elf went to help another of the statues with a somewhat depressed look in her eyes.
'Something the matter?' Ruiri asked.
'I'd appreciate it if you take this particular statue and these others to the museum.' Origa said and even with her serene expression, both Rafaela and Ruiri could tell something else was going in her mind with the statue to where they accepted the request on the spot.
As Hermione inspected Anatolia's statue with Serafina, she noticed a small red streak at the neck and picked up the faint scent of fruit radiating from it. She gave it a curious look as she guided her hand across the neck while looking to Rafaela.
'Hey, Rafaela, I'm gonna clean Anatolia-sama's statue and the others. Got any more?' Hermione asked.
'Yeah, we're taking this one and a few more to the museum. You can clean her off there and go get her again tomorrow.' Rafaela said.
'Origa-sama, what do you think?' Hermione said.
'Very well, Hermione. Cleaning all these new statues will take some time, so we may as well have our own deity cleaned first.' Origa said.
'All right, then. Let's get moving.' Serafina said as they loaded Anatolia, the wreathed Dark Elf, and a couple others on the wagon before shuffling off to the museum.
'Who ever made these things sure has an eye for good art, don't they?' Rutejia said to Miria.
'Though part of me doubts we'll ever meet who made them, I'd guess it was someone who really loves Dark Elves a ton. For all I can guess, it was perhaps a Dark Elf who made it.' Miria said.
'If that were true, it's a shame no one was on that island.' Sera said.
'If it was a Dark Elf, they're quite the crafty being.' Rutejia spoke and it was then that Sana was allowed to perch on Miria's arm only to be caressed on the head.
'Well, if there's one of a dozen things I can tell you about Dark Elves, we're pretty crafty when we want to be.' Miria said with her eyes looking into Sana's and the bird only stared back with her pupils shrinking the entire time with her eye narrowing akin to a glare while Rutejia and Sera watched with nervous expressions.
Elsewhere
'Chloe…' Origa said to the half-elf once outside the room of statues.
'Though she did catch me off guard, I appreciate you getting rid of her so quick.' Chloe said and Origa touched her aide's hands in maternal fashion.
'Chloe, getting rid of her was no trouble at all.' Origa said and the two tenderly stared at the other for some before continuing down the hall together with Karin helping Octavia and Meiriin carry another statue down the hall. Outside, Hermione and Serafina loaded the wagon of Dark Elf statues before being taken to Prim's museum and getting to work on cleaning her.
'Glad you two are pretty happy over Anatolia's statue.' Karin commented.
'What's not to be happy about having a statue of Anatolia-sama's?' Serafina asked.
'Yeah, especially when this could be the only thing of her we have?' Hermione said as she sprayed water onto the statue which Serafina followed up in with saturating it before scrubbing it.
'Makes the extra days spent on the island all the more worth it.' Karin smiled.
'So, what did you do when you first found the statues?' Hermione said and Karin got a nervous look before Olyvia appeared laughing.
'She freaked out thinking these statues were real.' Olyvia laughed.
'Olyvia, will you shut up!' Karin said.
'Here's what went down: Rafaela sent her to go find some berries and then she bumps into the one of the statues just around the corner before squeaking like a mouse.' Olyvia said.
'Really? You were frightened by a statue?' Serafina said and Karin scowled at Olyvia.
'She left out the part where I almost walked right into the spear of the first one we found.' Karin almost seethed and Olyvia grinned at her reaction.
'Anyway, we got the statues first before finding Anatolia's statue with the most treasure we'd ever seen and jackpot!' Olyvia continued.
'What, no berries?' Hermione smiled and Karin rolled her eyes before folding her arms.
'Didn't find any berries but the way this statue smelled on its own, you'd think she'd been bathing in berry juice or something.' Karin said with Serafina glancing to said statue while scrubbing it.
'With all that treasure on a deserted island free for the taking, I'm surprised it wasn't a hide-out for other pirates. Serafina commented.
'No way anyone was living on that island or we would have found some sign of them, but there we did find a number of shipwrecks nearby.' Karin said.
'Really?'
'Yeah, must have been a war between pirates or something because the ones we checked smelled like dead bodies.' Olyvia answered.
'Sheesh, pirates has rougher lives than knights, don't they?' Hermione said with Karin and Olyvia shooting the other looks before their sight returned to the teenaged Dark Elf.
'Care to find out?' Karin smiled.
'What, a life on seas? Do I look like pirate material to you two?' Hermione said.
'Hey, we're pirates and you fit the bill. Come on. What do you say?' Karin smiled and Serafina stood up.
'She is not going.' Serafina firmly said and Hermione shot her elder sister a look as they finished cleaning Anatolia before beginning to leave her to air-dry.
'A live of the seas sounds pretty cool, so maybe I'll ask Origa-sama if…' Hermione started to speak before Serafina tugged her ear and caused to yelp.
'Sorry, girls, but the life of a pirate is not for kids.' Serafina said and Hermione winced.
'Hey! I'm not a kid!' Hermione said before Serafina raised her ear higher to a louder yelp and the younger Dark Elf growled beneath her breath at this until she cried out again. Karin and Olyvia gave the other looks with the latter whistling before stepping out of the museum and once Prim, Roxana, and Alicia had left with their servants, all was quiet until a brief but faint pulsation came from the chest of Anatolia's statue.
'I can speak for myself, Serafina!' Hermione said with her sister letting go of her ear and she lowly hissed in pain while clutching it before opening her mouth.
'Ah ah ah.' Serafina scolded with a raised finger.
'Anatolia in bliss! You know they were probably just joking, so why the stick up your butt?' Hermione scowled.
'Joke or not, the last person who needs to be a pirate is you.' Serafina said.
'What am I supposed to do at seas anyway? Sheesh.' Hermione said.
'That's good thinking, Hermione.' Serafina said.
'Whatever.' Hermione said under her breath with her eyes rolling as she rubbed her ear.
'What was that?' Serafina demanded and Hermione huffed.
'I said whatever.' Hermione grumbled under her breath.
'Hermione Melani Storaro, don't make me straighten out that tongue of yours.' Serafina warned and Hermione scoffed.
'Yeah, I'd like to see you try…' Hermione began to say before Serafina charged at her with a fearful shriek sounding from the now-terrified girl as she took off running.
'Damn, I thought I had a tough sister.' Karin said as she and Olyvia watched Serafina catch Hermione before beginning to noogie her while scolding her.
'OW!' Hermione's pained cry sounded and later at sundown, Rafaela and her crew met with Prim and Roxana.
'Thank you once again for everything.' Roxana said to Rafaela and her crew.
'Hey, it's good to see someone getting a use for these things rather than just being left to rot on an island.' Rafaela said.
'Indeed, and happy travels to you.' Prim smiled.
'Best of luck to your museum, Prim.' Karin said before the pirates took their leave and came across Celestine, Naruto, and Shamsiel.
'Hey, Rafaela. How about I take the four of you on that ramen dinner I promised you?' Naruto offered.
'Now you're talking!' Olyvia said.
'We'd be hella stupid to say no to a free meal, so let's get eating.' Rafaela smiled.
'Then it's settled!' Celestine said with a pleased clap.
'But first…' Naruto said before bringing them to Garan and appearing on the balcony to find Origa and Chloe sitting next to the other.
'Naruto…' Chloe said.
'Hey, I'm about to take Rafaela and some of her crew to try some ramen back home. Care to join in?' Naruto said and Origa scowled as she got to her feet.
'I am the Dark Queen of Garan, and I'll not leave my kingdom or its people behind for mere noodles and that's my final word on the matter.' Origa huffed.
Minutes later
'My, that tastes swell.' Origa marveled as she took bites of the ramen in front of her and Naruto, sitting between her and Celestine, only smiled with the High Elf with Shamsiel and their pirate friends sitting around them.
'Yes, this is delicious.' Celestine agreed.
'Thank you both, Origa-sama and Celestine-sama.' Ayame smiled gratefully to the Dark Queen and Chivalry Goddess.
'Told ya. Chloe, what do you think?' Naruto smiled.
'Not like anything else I've tasted before so I'd say this isn't an inch bad.' Chloe said with a faint smile appearing.
'Damn, this was sure worth the wait. We ought to get one of these ramen shops back in Raulbhach.' Karin said.
'So, how'd you meet Naruto again?' Shamsiel asked Rafaela.
'Let's just say we helped him when he was a bit down in the dumps.' Karin answered and reading the atmosphere, Shamsiel went against asking about it in more details.
'Since you brought it up, when you joined the Chivalry?' Rafaela asked Shamsiel.
'Oh, I joined through Naruto here.' Shamsiel affectionately said while throwing the blonde a playful look.
'Care to explain, Naruto?' Rafaela said.
'She met me and Catue one night and joined the Chivalry through befriending us.' Naruto said and Karin chuckled.
'I see.' Karin said as she sensed there was more to the story that the blonde let on.
'So, Celestine, Origa, how are things in your neck of the woods?' Rafaela asked.
'More or less the same as usual in keeping the Chivalry together.' Celestine said.
'Likewise, as my land continues to grow and what awaits you people on your next voyage?' Origa asked.
'Well, upping our score after getting all that treasure, for one thing though I have pretty idea where to start in this bald as shit conman merchant.' Olyvia said.
'I'm surprised you haven't gone after him already if he's that rich.' Chloe said.
'Well, Chloe, you know what they say: save the best for last and looking at the state of affairs, this is right on time.' Ruiri said.
'By the way, Naruto, how'd you recognize the symbol on my ship?' Rafaela said.
'We went to Mireille's place the other night and she had a picture of it for us to go off of.' Naruto said and Rafaela smiled.
'Mireille, huh. Damn, maybe I should catch up with her and Irys before we hit the sea again.' Rafaela smiled.
'Real decent of you to look for us.' Karin said.
'What are friends for?' Celestine spoke before looking to Naruto and a thought passed through her mind of feeding him with the chopsticks before she snapped back to reality.
'Yes, though for future reference, ever consider leaving a calling card or something?' Chloe said and the pirates all had contemplative looks.
'Normally, I'd laugh at the idea of a pirate having a calling card but for you people, I can make an exception.' Rafaela smiled.
'Oh?' Shamsiel beamed.
'Once you hit your biggest score after this, does it mean you're going to retire as pirates?' Naruto asked and the pirates all broke out in uproarious laughter at the idea.
'Retire?! Naruto, once you've had a taste of being a pirate, it's like a drug you'd be crazy to shake off after hitting it big would be psychotic.' Ruiri said.
'It's a given we could retire to paradise with all we've gathered over the years but give up the life as a pirate? Stranger things have happened but I can't see any of us giving up all that excitement.' Olyvia agreed.
'Yeah, Naruto, could you give up being a ninja and just completely stopping for a relaxed life?' Rafaela said and the blonde subtly glanced to the elves.
'Maybe, depending on the circumstances.' Naruto said.
'See? Hard to retire from something you've done for years at the drop of a hat, isn't it?' Karin said and Naruto downed some more noodles.
'Yeah, I guess you're right.' Naruto said.
'Chloe, would you like to travel the seas?' Karin asked and the half-elf looked up from her bowl with a surprised look.
'What would I do out there?' Chloe said.
'You'd get too travel, and enjoying a new place almost every day.' Karin said.
'Sorry, girls, but I'm happy where I am.' Chloe said and Olyvia chuckled at seeing Origa give her a soft expression with the pirates nodding before looking to Shamsiel.
'Shamsiel?' Ruiri said.
'Don't look at me!' Shamsiel said with a friendly laugh and after they had continued talking long after they finished their respective bowls, they left the shop. Rafaela reached into her hat to pull out a card as she lifted her eyepatch with her eye glowing an eerie shade of blue with her pupil becoming white with a blinding light flying into the card and she handed it to Celestine.
'If you ever need anything from us in the case of emergencies, just write on this card and fly it into the air.' Rafaela said while lowering the patch.
'You can rest assured I will, Rafaela.' Celestine smiled.
'Oh, Origa?' Ruiri asked.
'Yes?'
'Mind saying goodbye to Hermione for me?'
'Certainly and until next time, see you again.' Origa said.
'Take care.' Rafaela said to everyone before a shadow clone took the pirates to see Mireille and just as he prepared to take them back to Eostia, a familiar voice caught their attention.
'Hey, Naruto!' Kinkaku's voice said with the shinobi, the three elves, and the succubus demon turning to see the burly siblings approach.
'Hey, guys.' Naruto said.
'What are you doing home early?' Ginkaku laughed.
'Ah, ya know, just bringing the girls to try Ichiraku.' Naruto said with Kinkaku looking to Celestine.
'Hey, little sis.' Kinkaku said and the beaming High Elf only smiled.
'Hello again, Kinkaku and Ginkaku.' Celestine friendly said.
'Origa, Chloe, how are things back in Garan?' Ginkaku asked.
'They're going well, Ginkaku. I appreciate your asking and how are you two?' Origa said.
'Can't complain. Who are you?' Ginkaku said.
'I'm Shamsiel Shahar and you're Naruto's brothers, aren't you?' Shamsiel smiled.
'New recruit of the Chivalry?' Kinkaku smiled and she giggled.
'That's one way of putting it.' Shamsiel giggled again and they journeyed to the park to chat.
'How's your vacation going so far?' Ginkaku asked.
'It's going great getting to see everyone again and make more new friends.' Naruto said while caressing Shamsiel's horns with her purring with his elder siblings taking this as a sign that things were still going well with the Chivalry.
'What have you two been up to?' Chloe asked.
'Same 'ol, same ol'. You know, missions, new dates every night.' Ginkaku said and Naruto only laughed at this with Celestine.
'That sums up just about everything, doesn't it?' Celestine laughed and Ginkaku then remembered something.
'Damn, I've got to meet Anko or she's gonna cover me in snakes! Later!' Ginkaku nearly jumped out of his skin before taking off to everyone's amusement and Kinkaku chuckled.
'Well, I'm gonna find a drink, so you two have a good trip.' Kinkaku said while giving a small hug to Naruto and Celestine.
'Catch you later.' Naruto said to his elder adopted sibling with Origa scowling as he teleported them to Thorn.
'That ramen sure was tasty!' Shamsiel said as she levivated behind Naruto while trickling her fingers through his hair and Celestine caressed his cheek.
'Makes me sorry I didn't take any of you there sooner.' Naruto smiled.
'Another bonus is that's the closest thing we've ever had to a date.' Celestine said with Naruto giving a realizing expression upon knowing she was right.
'Kami, you're right.' Naruto said while caressing Celestine's chin with Origa scowling in jealousy as she turned.
'You two just love putting on a show, don't you?' Origa said and Naruto looked to her with a dazzling smile.
'Origa-hime…' He sweetly said.
'Don't you dare try to sweet-talk Origa-sama, you!' Chloe said.
'Come on, girls. I didn't mean anything by it.' The shinobi said and Origa turned around with a sinister gaze.
'I hope not.' Origa said as she brought two fingers to her lips and looked to Chloe as she nodded in return.
'What are you doing?' Naruto asked before Origa whistled.
'Miria!' Chloe called out with Naruto beginning to panic before remembering that said busty Dark Elf was in Garan and laughed at the two.
'Nice try, but my cheeks aren't going to be pulled tonight!' Naruto laughed as he walked away from the two Dark Elves.
'What makes you so sure?' Origa said and Naruto stopped in his tracks once he was past Shamsiel and Celestine.
'What's she gonna do to me if she's in Garan? Teleport out of thin air and get me?' Naruto laughed.
'I wouldn't tempt fate, Naruto.' Chloe said and the blonde walked backwards with glee.
'Tempt fate? Miria can't do anything to me tonight. Face it; I'm not scared of her if she's not here. I'm home free. I'm…' Naruto continued until something massively soft pressed against his back with a chill running through his spine and he stood frozen in place with two hands settling atop his shoulders.
'…about to be sore very badly.' Naruto squeaked before turning his head to see Miria looking back at him with a sinister smile building on her face that even the Devil himself would cower from. As they looked at each other, Miria began giggling with Naruto nervously laughing as he looked back to Origa and the Dark Queen looked to Chloe with both having pleased looks.
'Uh, Origa-hime, how about I rub your feet or something?' Naruto nervously asked and Origa sinisterly smiled.
'Sic him, Miria.' Origa said with Naruto leaping forward with Miria tear-assing after him with her hands stretched out.
*Naruto narrating: Now, Origa-hime said 'Sic him, Miria'. But what I heard was 'Miria! Sic Balls!'
'Come back, my dear Naruto!' Miria evilly cackled while chasing after the screaming blonde and Origa giggled at this with Celestine looking to the Dark Queen as she and Chloe neared a portal.
'Good night, Celestine and Shamsiel.' Origa said with Chloe bowing for a time.
'Now, Origa, does Naruto being affectionate bother you?' Celestine asked and with Naruto and Miria now out of sight, something unexpected happened in the form of Origa's cheeks puffing in an uncharacteristic yet adorable pout as she looked back at them.
'Of course I'm not! It is not as if I'm jealous of you two or the rest of his growing harem.' Origa said while disappearing into the portal with Chloe just behind her and Celestine giggled at this.
'Well, Origa sure is smitten with Naruto but it how long do you think it'll think to open up to him?' Shamsiel asked as they headed to her fortress.
'All in good time, Shamsiel, and if her reaction's any clue, maybe sooner than either of us will expect.' Celestine said.
'Should we help him?'
'Don't worry; he'll be fine.' Celestine said and elsewhere, Nana and Irena were engaged in a round of Go Fish with Willan and Arsura on one of the balconies.
'Anything?' Nana asked.
'Go fish.' Willan said with the Elven Princess doing just that until a nearby noise got their attention.
'OW! Miria, have mercy!' Naruto cried out with the Dark Elf wickedly laughing her head off.
'Sounds like Miria and Naruto are playing tag again.' Arsura smiled.
'Oh, well.' Irena nonchalantly said as the four women continued their game and failed to notice Miria, arms wrapped around Naruto from behind, rolling on the ground with him like a python squeezing the life out its prey.
'And this is for saying you're home-free!' Miria laughed as she poised her hand in a squeezing motion and sent it flying towards Naruto's crotch with a high-pitched shriek sounding from the blonde that echoed into the night to where it could be heard in Dragundaala.
In Dragundaala
'Good grief, what's she doing to Naruto this time?' Catue thought as she stood on the training area of the castle and looked at the crystal ball. Taking the note off, it read for her to breathe either fire or anything of the sort onto it with the young woman feeling her throat.
Now that it felt better, she transformed before blowing a smoke ring onto it with the ball glowing until an image appeared in the center and Catue narrowed her eyes to see it belonged to that of a scantily-clad woman dressed in fishnets. Bearing a slight resemblance to Catue in her transformed state, bone white horns jutted from either side of her head atop her bluish-white hair akin to Miria and she possessed cyan eyes with green reptilian wings and a lengthy tail of the same color.
'Good evening, Catue-hime. I see you've received my message.' The woman said.
'Who or what are you?' Catue said.
'Where are my manners? My name is Ayr Cial and I'm the elder of the Dragon Tribe.' Said the woman and Catue gave her a surprised look.
'Dragon Tribe? Why have I never heard of such a thing?' Catue asked.
'There is a number of reasons that could be why, but what I'm here to offer you is a chance to improve your dragon powers.' Ayr said and Catue's eyes scanned around.
'How do you know about me?' The suspicious Dragon Princess asked.
'We've known about your lineage for longer than you're aware but my husband and I would love to invite you to give you more insight on how best to control your powers.' Ayr spoke.
'And in what twisted delusion did you think I'd say yes to someone spying on me?' Catue said.
'Rest assured, Catue-hime. We're nowhere near you right now but I could appear this instant if it'll help you feel better.' Ayr offered.
'I decline your offer.' Catue said and Ayr only smiled.
'If you insist, Catue-hime, but the offer still exists anytime you seek it.' Ayr said.
'Don't count on it.' Catue said before the image went dark and faded with the young woman eyeing the ball and inhaled before blowing another smoke ring out of annoyance. Right before she could crush the ball, an intense pain hit her throat that made her drop to her knees and heavily cough into her hand.
Once it ended, Catue's throat was sore all over again with the Princess Knight dropping the crystal ball to which it rolled into a corner and she held onto her neck until the pain lessened. As she stood, she felt her bottom lip wet and opened her hand to see small trickles of blood running down her palm.
There you have it: Rafaela and her people are alive and Prim and Roxana finally have their treasure. I hope you enjoyed this chapter as we'll be entering a brand-new arc I've named Sins of the Father starting next chapter and I'm so excited to do it that the next time I update this story, I'll be doing back to back updates that won't stop until we reach 20 or more chapters. Catch ya later and thanks for reading.
