Valeryia’s arrival took off the pressure off the rabbit monster considerably. And just in time at that. She was running out of mana rapidly. Even with her panties multiplying her magic output, she didn't have much mana storage in the first place.

She didn't remember her being on the ship though. So where did she come from?

Whatever. She could think about it later. For now, escape was her No. 1 priority.

And, oddly enough, the army didn't make chase once they were out of the burning village. Luck or something more?

It didn't take long until she and the others reunited with the other groups. The first thing Lunatea did was to deliver the still unconscious jiang-shi to her sister, telling her what had just occured in their battle.

Now safe from the Varjans, they decided to make camp in the middle of the nearby  forest. Lunatea did her part in erecting the tents. Though, since she kept bending over as she worked, she gratuitously provided a show of her panties to anyone looking at her direction.

Once she finished, she sat with the others near the bonfire with her legs raised, giving yet more view of her undergarments to her comrades who sat across her. Her tummy rumbled. It wasn't patient enough to wait without giving a complaint, even though Nyla was right there cooking them dinner.

Lunatea's eyes unknowingly rested on the shoggoth maid's rump as she worked. There was just something… hypnotic about how she moved her hips.

It didn’t last long, however, thanks to the appearance of a certain man who drew his blade in the middle of camp, shouting something about yokai in his language. Thankfully, she had studied the local tongue before she got here. Even though the isolated island might have a different variation of it.

“Calm down.” She looked at him, not even bothering to stand up. “We won’t harm you. In fact, we’re the ones who saved your life.”

When he drew his blade on Valeriya, however, that was when she knew she had to act.

“Hey, stop.” She stood up and walked to him, giving him a scowl. “Don’t hurt her. Or else you’ll have all of us to contend with.”

She began to wonder if she should use her hypnosis on him. Put him back to sleep.
