60 Chapter 9 2 : Preparing to leave (1/2)

The party ended without much of anything interesting happening, and rumors spread across the capital more or less instantly afterwards, for good and ill. The good part was that people stopped laughing at our party name, the ill was... well, I had several people try to kill me every day for a while. Even that could be seen as a good thing, as it was a way to identify the rogue elements in the city. Speaking of which, we quickly decided to return to the demon lands to escape from all of that. Sure, it's a little fun to beat up those trying to kill us (still not an S), but it gets old fast. Levia's entourage, by the way, had already returned to the demon lands a while back, so we decided to bring her back with us. She'd just been hanging around us awkwardly, as she was a bit nervous about being in the human lands alone.

”Are you sure you can't stay longer? I'm starting to fall in love with you, in addition to Haru...” (Cecilia)

”As much as I enjoy the change of pace that your small breasts provide, I can't say the feeling is mutual. Ah, damn, why is it that everyone in my harem has mammothian mammaries, when I like the little ones just as much? Why is it that mine are the smallest in the group, at their natural size?” (Ryuu)

”Because-” (Haru)

”Don't say it, I know. I'm just a bit miffed that, even without that, mine are still the smallest. Even Mae's were bigger than mine, I'm a natural washboard!” (Ryuu)

”What's gotten into you? You're not usually like this” (Mae)

”Pent-up frustration?” (Tuare)

”Bah! I don't need to hear that from the one who always has pent-up frustrations of a different kind!” (Ryuu)

”For the last time, I'm not a nymphomaniac!” (Tuare)

”Miniature Ryuu with wings, horns, and a wolf's ears and tail, but silver” (Cecilia)

Tuare ran inside with a red face, dragging the two nearest people, Haru and myself, into our room for one last use of the bed... and wall... and a few other things. Half an hour later, we emerged, and to the amusement of those waiting, Haru had to carry Tuare on her back due to how sore her hips were... though they evidently weren't sore enough to make her not try to hump Haru's gloriously fluffy and sensitive tail in her stupor.

”Now, shall we actually leave?” (Ryuu)

”Yes... haa... aahhhh... let's... do so” (Haru)

”Since we want to get there fast, how about you all ride on my back?” (Ver)

A maid walking past the room poked her head in, saw that it was Ver speaking, and laughed for a moment, before returning to her work. Nobody else noticed, I think, and it wasn't worth mentioning, so I promptly forgot about it.

”You sure you can handle all of us, including Levia? And for that distance?” (Ryuu)

”I'm sure. I've been growing a lot, recently... I've had to adjust my size for a while, because there is a limit on how large my current armor can get” (Ver)
