Chapter 53: Done For Science

I put Messia down before she passed out in my arms from embarrassment. I thought that she would love getting carried around, but I guess that wasn't going to happen.

Now, Tita was standing with Thiamon, who rubbed the back of his head where he was hit, but I was almost sure that I saw a slight smile after she did. Those two would make a cute couple, and from what I had gathered, Xani and Miku's mother must have passed away a long time ago.

I sighed and then waved them all to follow. Messia stayed up with me, and she held my hand, but she was squeezing the damn thing a bit aggressively. I squeezed back, and the pressure stopped, and Messia looked back at me apologetically as we got closer to the top of the stairs.

"Sorry, I just don't understand how Hilda is Queeny. I am sorry, I really should be better than this, but we all made our trip to the far side of Skyport to wait for up to a month to get a ride to the Sky Eel temple. Even Hilda cannot affect this world at the ruling God when she was, but her people are cure and devious," Messia explained, but we had reached the top, and I had to ask her to give me a minute.

We had just walked up into a one and a two-meter wide hallway, and there were honeycomb beds just like the girls had made, but better. They lined the walls, floor to ceiling, and bed high, as far as I could see.

We had come up through a hole in the gold plating, but there were no railings. I looked up and noticed another slightly larger hole, but there was no way up unless you had wings.

"Messia, come with me, and Miasma, I want to look up top. Miku and Xani, can you show your father and Tita around? Before you go, Tita, I want to ask you to join me as one of my personal subjects, like Thiamon," I said, turning to Tita.

"Me? You're asking me? Yes, but I do have one request," Tita asked, looking at me directly, and I nodded for her to go. "Will you also take Joni, my Grandaughter? She is a good fighter, but she lacks a good person to train her, but I am sure you can see to that."

"I was going to ask you for her in any way; I think she would make another good Knight. She might need to burn off some of that burning rage she has first, though," I said thoughtfully.

"Well, you can only imagine what it would have been like for her growing up in a village that had a leader that saw women as weak and useless. All the men in the village were told not to help her, and the one person that did disappear." Tita said, shaking her head.

"I understand, and I accept your request," I said as I summoned the Queen System on my own for the first time.

[Subject: Tita]: Class option:

I selected the Hive Debater, even though she would make a great Hive Dean, I was sure. I wanted to keep her close, and I watched and laughed as everyone cursed me for not telling them what I was doing.

Light-filled the room, and I was the only person besides Tita without burned-out corneas. Most excellent leader ever; I would have to work on that.

After the light cleared, Tita had dropped a series of numbers, but her birthing thighs and lady cannons held the line on their measurements. The rest of her, including her age and waist, had all went down, only her overall sex appeal increased; I can't say I fucked that one up.

"Uhh, umm, Miss, uh, yes! Miss Tita… You look, uh, pretty good...yeah," Thiamon said, turning away like an embarrassed child.

Tita turned red and then turned away from him.

Eyeroll, look what I did.

"Miku and Xani, come up as soon as you show them around, okay?" I asked the girls, and they nodded at me.

I turned to Messia and Miasma, pointed up at the hole above, and buzzed into the air. The girl followed me, and the outer walls started to curve in as we rose through the hole and into the next level.

I instantly never want to leave this place again as I streaked toward a massive three-meter wide and two-meter tall Hexagon shaped bed. I stopped flying about two meters from the bed and octopused or squided in the air to belly flop on the bed.

Time seemed to slow as I thought about how starfish had five limbs, but I had six; wait, humans have four. How is a human starfish?!

*Smack!*

Ooh, my milk mommies! It was like belly-flopping on a tarp-covered bowl of jelly, but as I lay in pain, my body melted into the bed. After getting over the initial shock of spidering… wait, nope, eight legs, ugh.

Okay, after getting over the pain of spread Bee-ing on the jelly rock bed, it was actually really comfortable. The bed just wasn't made for high-velocity impacts… or maybe it was… There would need to be some tests done for science.

"Ashia! Are you okay!" Messia called as she and Miasma were crawling across the bed, looking cute and awkward as I turned my head to them.

"I am alive, but I don't suggest trying what I did," I said with a weak smile.

"Yeah, you should just lay there for a bit; I am sure the village heard you smack into the bed. You're probably going to have a bruise everywhere," Miasma said, trying and failing miserably to keep the beautiful face-splitting grin off her face.
