The late morning and afternoon passed quite quickly as he enjoyed a light meal with the mother and daughter pair with the mother, now almost a different woman, teasing and molesting him with her feet under the table whenever Momo was distracted.
Vincent left Momo's house and arranged to meet her tomorrow to discuss the travel with Mel'Zeth and himself before taking an afternoon walk around the city alone.
'It seems I'll be leaving here for a little while; it seems quite strange as I've lived here all my life.'
He considered visiting the school to speak with Violetta about first seeing the capital.
Thankfully school wasn't mandatory as long as you completed the tasks given on time and completed the exams at the end of the year.
"Although they were quite tough last time, I may have Odette teach me in her spare time."
As he thought, he found a nice place to sit near the fountain, watching the water flow through its stone channels.
He sat on one of the benches nearby, wondering what the future had in store.
Then he remembered his promise to his sister and smiled gently, thinking about how her practice was going; maybe she made some friends or managed to get stronger like him. As he imagined his little sister growing strong, he realised he had already missed her.
But he mustn't worry too much, as he promised to visit her during their trip to the capital. If she wished to spend time with him, he would do so; looking forward to meeting his mother and sister soon, he stood up and began to head home.
"Well, I suppose it's time for lunch," he mused aloud, "I also need to tell the girls my plans; I hope there isn't too much trouble."
-
Back in the capital, with the sun high in the sky, once again, Milla thrusts her spear at the opposing knight before lunging forward and smashing the woman down with her wooden shield.
Her eyes shone fiercely as she stepped on the woman's throat.
"Ugh!?"
"Stop!"
Vedra, dressed in silver, her usual leather outfit over her tight training clothes, shouted before Milla looked at her with a strange look before reluctantly getting off the downed woman who lay on the ground breathing deeply, trying to replenish her lack of oxygen.
'I told you to control your anger; mother will notice something strange!' Milla roared in her mind.
'Cheee~ so boring; how will you make your brother want you this way?'
'Brother loves me! He even got hard when I hugged him naked!' Milla insisted.
'All males would get erect to the naked body of a pretty 18-year-old with such juicy curves...'
"What is wrong with that girl recently? She's been so violent and focused on training...."
'Is it really because she misses Vincent?' Verda thought to herself while muttering.
She began to share the occasional letters she would send with her, not wanting her to lose hope but for some reason, ever since that day. Milla became more violent, overworked herself, and sometimes entered the dungeon secretly.
"I hope he comes to visit soon; the yearly competition should be in less than a month; Violetta mentioned it in the last report... But to think that she would succeed in sleeping with my son, how envio.... ahem."
A woman with long blond hair and shining silver armour walked towards Verda; she emitted a sense of nobility and grace, while Verda had a wild and ferocious beauty.
The woman wasn't human, though, nor an elf.
Her skin was very pale, with a hint of an olive colour, with deep golden eyes and fangs; atop her head were two long twisted horns; although fearsome, they were beautiful and neat, clearly taken care of daily.
'Is this woman a high-race goblin or a demon? Strange, there is no hostility or sense of looking down on me.'
"It's a pleasure to meet one of our illustrious dungeon lords; my name is Gladys Von Conzelmann."
"Oh?" Verda recognised the name and smiled at the woman, patting her shoulder with a rough welcome.
"It's nice to meet such a noble lady; I remember my son dating a girl named Odette, I believe?"
'Surely, this woman was also an old acquaintance, right? I can't quite remember anymore...'
The demon woman's face twitched for a moment; this was the first time she heard about her cute daughter having a boyfriend.
"By chance, does she live in the city of Vandis?"
Gladys began to pray that it wasn't her daughter, being related to the most violent woman with the worst temper by marriage; please don't joke!
"Haha, yeah, that's right! Vincent doesn't write too fancy making it hard to read! She also has a cute sister named Zera, a white cat or something. Fufu~ such a grown-up boy is making mother sad."
"Vincent..."
'Vincent....Vincent.... All my cute daughters diaries and letters were always filled with that boys name!'
The two mothers were originally opposite, with Gladys worried that her daughter gave up on the love that damn man locked away.
'Karl, did you change? Or was that boy too much for you to handle? He is the son of this damn natural disaster.'
Both began to chat more; Gladys offered to speak more in her office or a bar; thus, the two women walked out of the training grounds.
Procedure?
Is that tasty? Verda would respond.
While Gladys didn't need to get permission, she was a noble and had the correct documents to leave, as would Verda if she stopped hiding her true rank from the public and her children, not wanting them to become too spoilt.
She planned to tell them both after Milla became a fully-fledged knight and Vincent a Dungeon Scout at the very least.
Gladys wanted to learn more about "Vincent" and to see how far they had gone, while Verda was looking forward to drinking with an "Old friend" as she couldn't let loose in front of her children and rarely showed her rough and vulgar side.
'I hope my little Odette hasn't been eaten whole...'
The last thoughts of the demon noble would never come true, as she was destined to enjoy the same fate as her cute daughter.
But that's a tale for another day.
-
Vincent's feet were heavy, like feeling a sudden difficult situation was awaiting him, not just telling the girls but also something more annoying in the distant future.
'Let's go; I am sure the hardest to convince will be Felia, but the most delighted would be Felis as it's easier to get home to the phoenix federation from the capital.
Crack! The door opened with a loud sound as he turned the thick key, pushing himself inside to notice there was no sound, but several women were already in the front room.
'What's going on? A girl's meeting or something?'
He crept near the wall as Felia's confident and soft voice sounded in the room.
"So ladies, we must behave and not make darling stressed or feel too much burden; we won't die without sex for a few weeks, right?" Felia's words were like a dashing general inspiring his men.
"Eh, but that pleasure.... losing it for a single day is horrible!" Violetta whined, acting different from her usual cold self.
"Shaddap Thot!" The sound of something like a cushion hitting flesh and a woman's moan filled Vincent's ears.
"Do you not see, this is an opportunity! One graced by the gods! If we behave now and don't act needy as he's leaving, can't we request something we've always desired in return? Make him promise us a reward for being good and patient!"
Odette listened to Felia, wondering if the world was ending because she felt these words carried some sense, 'I need to stop hanging around with this crazy elf...!' she thought.
"Well, it sounds like a good idea, but Zera and I will probably be going with him, right? So this conversation has nothing to do with us."
"Heh! Stupid smelly elf! Vincent is mine~ steal him from you!"
"What does the dumb cat know? You only care about food and fighting!"
A flash of light shone in Zera's turquoise eyes as she seemed to change, sitting on the chair and fixing her skirt that was flashing her nether regions.
"Is the little elf scared that my mother and I will teach him the true pleasure of tasting a beast woman's body? Then that flabby chest and the saggy butt of yours will make him wince?"
Zera's firm abs tightened as she spoke, showing her athletic build as she taunted Felia.
"Eh?"
Felia now felt like Odette as the strange tabby cat they all mocked as stupid seemed even more intelligent than she did.
Pah! Odette leaned over and slapped the back of Zera's head before looking towards Felia, who was about to argue.
"Our husband doesn't like bickering between us; why not settle your differences another way."
"How?" Felia responded a little upset she couldn't scold the cat.
"Settle!" Zera, back to her normal self, insisted with glinting eyes.
Luna could have settled their fight sooner but wanted these girls to mature amongst themselves; sitting back, she watched Odette with narrow eyes.
'Ah, this girl is so smart and crafty. She wants the empress seat in the harem!'
"In the dungeon tournament, why don't we have a private one just for us rod sisters?"
"Rod sister?" Zera looked confused.
"Means girls that will copulate with Vincent", Luna whispered to her stupid daughter.
"Ah! Rod Sister!"
Odette then began to explain their competition, which would be open to any woman joining his side between now and the end of the round. The winner would have the chance to spend 10 days alone with him using his medallion.
'Clever girl.' Vincent thought, slowly walking towards the door before slamming it shut as he heard them stop talking quickly.
'Let's act like I don't know; the reward is in line with my planned offer since they worked this out together. I won't step in unless it gets messy.'
Little did Vincent know that Efrita, Silvari, Raizel and the vampire twins Ophelia and Ophelis also decided to join this event and planned to speak with Odette and Luna once he when to sleep.
A chaotic competition between his entire harem, including Mel'Zeth.
Now if only Claudia were in the human capital, wouldn't that be very interesting?
