8 The Young Master of God-Knows-Wha (1/2)

When they entered the room, Marco whistled at the furniture and walls, which seems really expensive, while Alice just walked towards the bed and turned in her original form while eating her Ama-Ama Dango.

Marco: Well, I would get it that the entire furniture costs 3.000.000 gold coins, but a night here…

Alice: Don't worry about it, we are paying only 4 gold coins now… Delicious!

Then she finished eating her Ama-Ama Dango and turned in her human form before ringing a bell. Some minutes later the owner of the inn entered.

Owner: How did you like this hotel's Ama-Ama Dango?

Alice: Even though it's incredibly sweet, it doesn't overpower the flavor of the dango. Absolutely delicious. If you were a monster, I'd make you a duchess.

The lady laughed at her words and said.

Owner: What a strange remark, young woman. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to get enough Happiness Honey. So I can't make any more Ama-Ama Dango… Since Happiness Village doesn't have enough men anymore, I guess there's no helping it…

Happiness Village is a small village to east, they are famous for their delicious honey, but near the village there is another one, Harpy Village, and like the name suggests it is populated from Harpies under the Queen Harpy, who are currently kidnapping men for breeding.

Marco: 'Here it is…' Hm? Did something happen in Happiness Village?

Owner: Yeah… Hmm… Hey, that's right. If it's you two, you might be able to do something. If you're able to beat that swordswoman, it should be easy for you.

Marco just nodded, even if 3 tails aren't enough for Granberia, they are enough for the rest in this continent, except Tamamo who is currently at a cave at north.

*Ding*

*Special Quest: Help the villagers of Happiness Village*

Owner: Well then, have a nice rest.

Marco: You too.

When the owner left the room, Alice turned back in her monster form and gazed at Marco while he sat in a chair and gazed back.

Marco: *Sigh* So… You are the Monster Lord? Since you said you could make the owner in a duchess if she was a monster and you made Granberia kneel.

Alice: Yes, I'm Alipheese Fateburn 16th, the current Monster Lord… Now what are you going to do?

Marco: Absolutely nothing.

Alice was extremely surprised from his words and her eyes widened.

Alice: N...Nothing?

Marco: Yeah, first of all, I'm a traveler, why should I do something like killing my companion due to her status? I'm not a baptized hero, and I'm not a follower of Illias.

Alice: You… You don't follow Illias? But you came from Illias Village, it is literally the place where she is the most sacred. Why you don't follow her?

Marco: ...Some things are better leaving alone…

Alice could notice that it was a personal matter and didn't asked about his faith anymore, then she asked.

Alice: So… What was that?

Marco: … 'Should I… Whatever, she has my trust…' It is the Nine Tailed Gates…

Alice: Nine Tailed Gates…?

Marco: I have 10 different forms, the first one is the one without tails…

Then Marco was surrounded from a thin layer of red aura and his features changed a bit, it surprised her a bit, but she maintained her cool.

Marco: I can use 4 of the 10 forms, with the maximum of 3 tails, and each tail gives me more strength.

Alice: You said you could use the 4th Tail, but you would destroy the town, what does it mean?

Marco: No comment.

Alice narrowed her eyes and sighed before asking.

Alice: You would get stronger with each tail, so you are something like a Kitsune?

Marco: Yes and no, I am 100% Human, but the gates works just like that, the more tails I get the stronger I become, and my strength boost is different than them, you seen it yourself, just with the 3rd tail I could make Granberia fight seriously, even if I was thrown around like a ragdoll...

Alice raised an eyebrow at his explanation before closing her eyes and thinking.

Alice: You are hiding me some things… But I think you can tell me in the future…

They stood in silence while Marco sighed in relief from not saying anything about the system itself and about the 4th Tail and beyond, he would like to keep the latter as a trump card.

Alice: Hmm… I'm hungry again…

Marco: Holy fuck… Now wha….

He looked at Alice and couldn't finish his word after seeing that Alice was looking at him while licking her lips, Marco stood up and walked towards the door, but before he could grab the handle, a red tail coiled around him and dragged him at Alice, who was smiling and grabbing his pants.

Alice: Thanks for the meal…

[Tomorrow]

Marco slowly opened his eyes, and found himself in the bed, under a blanket, Marco was clueless about how he was in the bed until he remembered what happened…

[Flashback]

Marco: It's the 4th time, stop it, goddammit!

Alice: Hehe, it's not enough… Hora, hora!

[Later]

Marco: Jesus… Please, I want to live. Stop…

Alice: *Slurp*

[Later]

*Thump*

Marco fell unconscious in the floor after the 14th time, he couldn't take it anymore while Alice was still smirking and stroking his dick.

*Ding*

*Status: Unconscious*

*Recovering time: 7 hours*

Alice: Well, you lasted enough… Maybe a last one before putting you in the bed…

[Back]

Marco shivered in horror after thinking about what happened yesterday night, sex is cool, but doing something like that is possible only for his friend Gabriel...

Then he slowly stood up and stretched his muscles before cleaning himself in the bathroom and dressing up, when he got out from the bathroom, he found Alice looking at him from the bed with a smile.

Alice: So…

Marco: Fuck this shit… I should have sold Kebabs instead of traveling…

Alice was amused from Marco's current behavior, while he walked out to take a breath of fresh air, in the way he encountered with the owner, who had a grin in her face.

Owner: It sounded like you had fun last night.

Marco: I should have opened a food stand...

The owner laughed at his words and patted his back with some force, making Marco stumble a bit forward.

Marco: I will take some fresh air, then we will take our leave…

Owner: Well… Be sure to come again! I'll be glad to welcome you!
