Sabrina nodded, wiping away the tears from her face with a cloth. "It's just...Hilda is gone," She said sadly, and then Sabrina cleared her throat before standing up and excusing herself. "I'm sorry, I just can't talk about it anymore."
Mother Shallot nodded understandingly and then motioned for me to follow her back into the other room. We sat down in front of the window again, but this time she looked a lot more serious than before.
"It seems that Hilda's disappearance is getting to Sabrina more than I thought it would. It's a shame; I never imagined this happening," Mother Shallot said sadly before letting out a sigh. "I'm not sure what you can do to help with the situation now. I just wish that she had told us where she was going."
"I understand it must be hard for her, and if it makes her feel better, I am looking into the disappearance of Hilda and see if I can find any clues on what happened. You have my word that I will do my best," I said, but Mother Shallot just smiled sadly at me before standing up and coming over to rest a hand on my shoulder, running her other through my hair. Not really something that I expected from her, but I had to hold back a purr that was trying to escape and keep my eyes open. This sort of thing was one of my weaknesses.
"You are a kind soul, Galio, but I think that you have more farm to see, right? Have you been to the girls' residences yet?" Mother Shallot asked, pressing her breasts into the back of my neck as I fought the horny off with all my might. I needed to keep a straight head right now, but this woman was taking advantage of my Cat origins!
"No, I haven't yet. Kia was just about to show me around when you two were talking," I said before standing up and putting a bit of distance between us. Luckily, Mother Shallot seemed to get the memo as she stepped back, but her smile and the way she bit the tip of her finger made my blood pump.
Resist the Horny!
I was going to need a whack soon to get myself under control, or I was going to plant myself deep in this mother! This woman clearly wanted to pay me in some pleasuring acts; I was not opposed to that, but I had to confirm Hilda wasn't here, and then fix the place up, eat food, and only then could I let the Lust Demon out of his cage that seem to have me by the pecker lately.
Oh well, better than breaking stuff and killing people.
"Okay! I will get going to do that right now! I will see you when I have finished everything, Mother Shallot!" I said in my best Cat God voice before bowing and quickly getting out of the room. Kia was waiting for me just outside, but I could feel Mother Shallot's eyes on my back as we made our way to the barns where all her women were staying.
The barns were surprisingly organized, and nothing like I thought they would be. It was clear that no animals were living in here.
The place had a second level, and there were rooms across both levels with two beds each. Each of these was labeled with the names of the women living in them, and there were also a couple communal areas where women could congregate if they wanted to. In the center, there was another room that looked like it may have been used for meetings or something else entirely, but I didn't ask any questions about it; I just made my way in deeper to look around.
I had my Mana Runes active, so I could see if there was anyone hidden anywhere, but there was nothing. One of the problems with my Mana Runes was that they only gave me Mana outlines of them, so I couldn't identify them.
"Do you mind showing me around the rooms?" I asked, but another woman popped her head out of the room.
"Kia! Is this the new God Mother was talking about?!" A woman with a mop of hair asked, and Kia sighed before nodding.
"Yes, this is Cat God Galio," Kia said before stepping aside to let the women approach me. She was wearing an odd outfit that was a combination of the partial plate armor of the guard women and some leather. Her face had more than its fair share of scars, and she stood with a clear sense of confidence that made me think for sure that this woman was one of the toughest women I had met on this island.
"Nice to meet you Cat God Galio," She said with a faint smile before peaking around Kia to look at her roommate who poked her head out. "Sorry, be right back!"
The woman then grabbed my hand before dragging me off to another room, and the other women just sighed as more followed her.
"My name is Kyra!" The woman said as soon as the door was closed behind us. She seemed a little too excited, but I didn't mind it one bit; if this girl wanted to talk, that was fine; I didn't really have anything else to do.
"It's nice to meet you, Kyra! I'm here investigating Hilda's disappearance," I said, and the woman just growled before walking away from me and plopping down onto one of the beds in the room.
"Hilda disappeared a while ago, and it makes me sad, but I was hoping to talk to you about some fighting?" Kyra asked excitedly as she led me out of the barn with about five girls and Kia following us around to the back of the barn.
There was a circle of packed ground with a couple rough looking benches that the other girls took, most of them excited. I guess that this girl wanted to spar a bit, and after being in the city, this sounded like fun, but this girl was something else.
