"The cows are sort of included, sorry!" Liliana said, apologizing for getting Lunatea's ears licked.

"What?! What do you mean the cows are included?!" The wererabbit replied with disbelief.

But she decided not to push it further, just so to move the conversation along.

—

Returning back to the temple, the wererabbit had a grim look on her face. She still couldn’t believe what had just happened. The humans they were trying to protect… betraying them like that… was it so bad that they were monsters and not humans like them? They too were living beings like them, with intelligence and emotions. They weren’t beasts that existed only to kill or breed with humans. She might desire a husband but it wasn’t like she only wanted to breed with him! She wanted to do all sorts of stuff with him too! Stuff that a human woman would also want to do!

Once the group arrived, they immediately disbanded. Some decided to go to the hot springs, an idea that certainly had crossed her mind. But first, she needed to find some decent clothes to wear.

"Lunatea." Takeshi greeted, who had now replaced his kimono top with a similar garb. "I assume the others have gone to rest? It was a pretty hectic battle back there, wasn't it?" He guessed.

“Yes.” She nodded. “Yes, it was.”

"You know, you're gonna have to give that back someday." Takeshi motioned at his red kimono currently being worn by Lunatea. "I mean, I guess I can let you keep it. A nice, little souvenir from Shizuyama: The clothes of the Island Lord!"

"I suppose I could..."

Looking down at the red kimono, she realized that from the short time she had worn the garment, it had grown quite to her liking. Sure, the chest was open way too widely for her taste, and the hem only barely covered her buttocks, but the fabric was smooth and comfortable, not chafing against the skin in the slightest.

"I quite like this fabric, now that I've worn it," she admitted to the young lord with a serious look. "And like you said, it'd make quite the nice souvenir for back home."

"Still, for a man to give his clothes to a woman... you might not want that in order to not arouse suspicion... people may start to think we're lovers..." She averted her gaze, a pained look flashed on her face.

"Anyway, I think I'm going to go have a dip on the springs before I do anything else. It's been a long day. What about you?" Takeshi might have not said it, but he would probably indulge Lunatea if she wanted him to do something else.

"The springs... I suppose I can join you there. If you wish, I can wash your back. I need to repay you for your kindness after all..."

Roze would quickly feel the lingering pain from her wounds dissipate as Lanus’s Nymph did her work, the gash closing up almost completely. ”Thank you, Lanus.”” She said to the Fae invoker.

"No problem, my fair lady!" Lanus gave a quick bow with a smile.

"Urghh, you really are a womanizer, aren't you?!" The nymph huffed. "That's it, I'm leaving!" Her body then fell to the ground, reverting back to a puddle of water before being absorbed entirely by the thirsty dirt.

Lanus shrugged. It was time for her to leave anyway.

Ruecian, on the other hand, wasn’t having as much relief in consulting Rana. That was when Renee came up to her, making direct eye contact whilst detailing her accounts of dealing with the effects of miasma first hand. She seemed to be more receptive of Renee’s words, snapping out of her depression for a moment. She wiped the tears from her eyes and began to address her. ”Even so, things didn’t have to be this way.” She said. ”They put us in a position where we couldn’t refuse this mission. But, thank you. To you as well, Ruecian Valeniquen, I suppose…” She referred to the latter with a more sober tone.

Renee smiled. At the very least, she managed to give her some semblance of comfort.

–

Appearing back at the base camp, they explained the situation to the statesman in charge. He seemed to understand, and was satisfied with the results. ”Well met, I see this Tower of yours has no shortage of talented fighters. I look forward to seeing more from you, perhaps I’ll even have the luxury of relying on your services in the future.” He said to the group. He then gave an apathetic glance at Rana. ”You’ve fulfilled your role here as well, Rana Schuellen, you are dismissed.”

"...That's it? That's all you have to say to her? Unbelievable! You know she has lost her entire team, right?" Renee declared, her hands placed firmly on her hips. What a cold and unsympathetic man!

”You could come to Eon with us.” Roze interjected. ”I don’t doubt that you’d be welcome there. ” Rana went wide-eyed for a moment at Roze’s statement. ”I-I don’t know about that. I mean, why invite me there when-” She cut herself off, her face full of an unknown guilt. ”Nevermind. Besides, that Irvin man is gathering those with exceptional talent and resources. I don’t see why a b-list magus like me would be welcome there…

”We won’t twist your hand.” Rue said. ”But, you should know that Arteus isn’t like what you may think.” Rana glanced at Rue after his statement, but went back into her own world not a moment after.

"Yes, you should come with us, Rana!" Renee grabbed her hands. "The Tower can use a magus like you! We can use a magus like you! Right, Lanus?"

"But of course!" He replied with his golden smile. "We can always use a lovely woman such as you!"

"Lanus!" Renee scolded. "This is no time for your perverted jokes!" Turning back to Rana, she then said, "Don't worry. He may be a pervert but he's a good guy at heart. He'll keep you safe for sure."

"Impressive!" Lanus proclaimed once he saw the monster withstood their attack. "You manage to stand even after taking all that attack!"

And then, he noticed the creature moving for a counterattack.

"Nymph! Barrier! Renee! Brace for attack!"

The watery summon reacted to his command just in time to protect the group from the hideous roar.

”I think it’s better that you focus on killing that thing! I should be almost done here.”

"Very well, if you insist!" Lanus replied. "Nymph! Ready a second attack! Renee! Launch your arrow on my mark!"

Sure enough, right after, Roze recovered from her wounds.

Realizing that she was about to do an attack, Lanus instructed Renee and Nymph to attack at the same time as her.

And once again, the creature was overwhelmed by their combined spells. The wind Icarus summoned combined with ice and water, creating a fierce blizzard that froze the creature to its core.

And then Renee's arrow finished the job, shattering its arms and head in one explosive strike.

"Well done everyone!" Lanus proclaimed as he stabbed his sword against one of the remaining mooks. "Now, clean up!"

It didn't take long until the remaining abominations were exterminated. And when they were all gone, Renee couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, placing a hand on her chest to calm her racing, adrenaline-filled heart.

"You alright there, my dear?" Lanus approached her, placing a hand on her shoulder. "You look a little pale."

"I-I'm fine." She looked up to his face. "Just… tired, that's all."

"I can imagine that." He smiled. "This is the first time we fought something like this, isn't it?"

She nodded.

"Good work. You keep your calm. That's what's most important in this job of ours."

Renee's gaze then traveled back to the creature. To her horror, it was made up of countless malfested corpses. She gasped, covering her mouth with her hand.

"An unsightly scene, is it not?" Lanus placed a hand on her shoulder to comfort her. "This is why we fight these abominations. So others won't have to suffer the same fate those people did…"

Gotta say, Lanus and Renee, you guys kicked some ass on this mission.” He said, complimenting the couple.

”I’m inclined to agree, despite the sudden development, you both adapted quickly and responded impressively. Roze added.

"Why, thank you!" Lanus replied with a smile, followed with a bow. "You two are no slouches either, that's for sure!"

Renee on the other hand didn't feel quite the same as her lover. She still felt quite overwhelmed in the combat before and she couldn't help but feel she was in over her head. All this time, she depended on Lanus' guidance in combat, and without him, she knew she wouldn't perform quite as well.

In short, she still had a long way to go as a magus.

”Lanus, can you heal Roze? I’ll…try and help Rana.”

Lanus nodded, ordering his Nymph to do so. The Nymph does it by submerging her wounds in her water, lessening the pain and promoting their rapid healing.

He didn't say anything to Rana's lament, knowing full well he was not skilled enough to comfort her. After all, once, he too felt the same…

Renee, however, was a tad more sympathetic. She walked forward to Lana, looking at her right in the eyes before starting her speech.

"I lost my entire village to these creatures…" She spoke, her voice barely a whisper. "And there was nothing I could do. Nothing other than hiding from them like a coward." She clenched her fists, her voice shaking. "Even now, after all these years, I still can't say that it wasn't my fault, that there was nothing I could do."

"You may carry that burden with you for the rest of your life. But that doesn't mean you can't move forward as well. Life is a series of misfortunes intertwined with happiness. And you must always seek for the next happiness waiting for you in the corner."

She didn't come up with that speech. It was Lanus'. He gave that speech when he first found her in the ruins of her village.

Thankfully, Skarsneek and Gringor were there to help stop the enraged jiangshi. And judging by what she saw, it seemed there was no need for her to intervene as well.

As the situation seemingly died down, Yurine approached Lunatea and Liliana, who had found themselves near each other as they gathered around the body-locked Hinami. "Don't tell me this is a normal occurrence in your little squad." She crankily told the two monsters. "Else, Takeshi's trust in you is doomed from the start."

"Hmm, I wouldn't say it's a normal occurrence…" Lunatea answered apologetically, averting her gaze. "But it is true that she needs that seal in order to keep her sanity. But don't worry. It's only her who's like that."

Still, upon seeing how gravely wounded Lunatea was, Liliana would hold her sword aloft and...a cow would materialize beside Lunatea and give her left ear a gentle lick.

"Kyaah!"

The summoned cow took her entirely by surprise. And so, the moment it licked her poor, sensitive rabbit ear, she pretty much jumped.

"W-what?! What are you doing?!" She protested at Liliana.

"...Whoops, uh...usually I don't get cows, I promise. Okay, this time, Whimsy, pretty please with sugar and cherries and honey on top, Greater Healing!" ...Another cow would be summoned, licking the back of Lunatea's other ear

"Kyaah! S-stop it!" She yelled to the cow. Her ears were very sensitive, you see, and they didn't take well at all being licked like that. In fact, the only person allowed to play with her ears were her parents, when she was younger, and her future husband, who was definitely not this stupid cow that was staring at her!

Thankfully, right after, the healing spell actually happened. Immediately she could feel her body becoming lighter.

"Thanks… but I'd appreciate it if there are no cows involved next time." She glared at Liliana.

Her gaze then switched back to Hinami, who now had been webbed into submission by her sister.

She then turned to Takeshi, noticing the lilies. "I see you brought the lilies with you, I'm glad that you were able to find them. Oh!, are you and Luna-chan alright?! Were you two attacked while you were away?" Since they were attacked in the graveyard, it stands to reason that the young lord would've been ambushed as well.

"Yes, we were attacked," Lunatea answered. "By Varjans at that. They wanted to think I killed the young lord. Can you believe it?" She crossed her arms under her chest with an angry expression.

"Oh, now you're embarrassed with having your underwear seen?" Takeshi sighed.

"N-no! It's not just my underwear!" She yelled with a blush, her ears twitching back and forth. "It's the rest of my body as well! T-this is the first time I'm completely naked like this in front of a guy, you know!" Showing panties is one thing but showing her bare chest is something completely different!

Not that she had any chest to show off.

"Come if you wish, but I can't make any promises of protection if your body gives in to exhaustion, okay?"

She nodded. "I know. Still, I can't ignore the others if they're in danger as well. I'm part of the Taskforce as well and I will fight to the best of my ability."

"B-but, do you mind if I wear your kimono for a while? I-I can't fight without any clothes!"

Thankfully, when they returned, the others had already finished their fight against the humans, with Takeshi landing the killing blow on the last warrior.

Unfortunately, Hinami had gone out of control once again. And there would be no rest for them before they subdued her first.

"Hinami! Wake up!" She yelled, even though she knew full well it wouldn't be that easy to turn her back to normal. She was looking at him and the wererabbit was ready to cast her tornado to immobilize her the moment she lunged towards him.

Only, it never happened. She decided to lunge after Alice instead.

"Watch out!"

Unfortunately, she was far too much away to help Alice with her problem.

Oof, actually made a mistake with Lunatea there. She was supposed to be embarrassed about her naked body, not just her panties.

Oh well, I can fix it on the next post.

"No problem," Renee replied, glancing at the magus. "You can keep casting and we'll back you up." She fired another one of her arrows, deleting one more unfortunate abomination with the explosion.

Suddenly, the ground underneath her shook. Terribly. She let out a yelp, quickly balancing herself on the spot by shifting the weight of her body. It was a skill most fey would have from growing up as keeping your balance while navigating through tree tops was something that was absolutely necessary if you didn't want to humiliate yourself by falling off.

Before she could let out a sigh of relief, a giant skeletal hand erupted from the ground. She let out another yelp before gritting her teeth, jumping away from it as she aimed her bow towards it.

And, to her horror, it wasn't just a skeletal hand.

The full set of bones now stood in front of her. It called upon its abhorrent brethren, summoning more and more of the creatures from before.

"Stand back!" Lanus yelled to Renee. "Let me handle the small fries! You focus on taking out the big guy!"

The female fae nodded, a panicked look displayed on her face. She jumped backwards, flashing her panties as her skirt flipped upwards. Lanus' perverted eyes didn't miss the show for he was all too familiar with the many in combat pantyshots she would give, being her partner at all. Still, even as he ogled her, he wasn't distracted in the slightest. One of the creatures tried to ambush him, only to receive an upward slash from his sword that sliced it into two. And he did it without even looking at it.

"Nymph! Don't let them surround us!"

"On it, Master!"

The summoned spirit would then aid the group by creating a defensive line that the abominations couldn't pass. If they did, they would be erased by her water in an instant.

However, it was clear as day that they were slowly but surely being overwhelmed. The wave of abominations wouldn't stop. Not to mention Rose with her wound, a terrible thing to have in a miasma-infested place like this.

”Funny, pretty sure this fucker wasn’t in the report that we received.” Ruecian spat at Rana. ”I-I’m sorry! I swear to you, that thing wasn’t here before. I have no idea what that thing even is!!” She exclaimed.

"Ladies, don't fret!" Lanus flashed them a grin. "We'll make it out of here for sure!"

He knew that this was the exact situation he warned of before they got here. But there was no point in saying "See, I was right!". It wouldn't make their situation any better.

Thankfully, he did have a plan for this. Though it seemed Rue had his own plan on the ready.

"A combined attack. I like it!" He smiled at him. "Rana, need any assistance in healing her?" He switched his glance towards the two. "My Nymph can heal wounds too, you know."

Channeling azure mana around him, Rue began to conjure a shape beside him. The shape then became a large, blue serpent that was larger than the summon that Roze had called forth. ”Mizuchi to me!” He called out. ”Sublimate them.” He coldly said. His summon began blasting a large volley of icy breath at the skeletal beast and its disgusting minions, signaling for the couple to join in. Hopefully, their efforts would be enough to give Rana time to treat Roze’s wounds.

Nymph quickly joined in the assault, firing off high pressure water towards the skeletal beast. It pierced through its minions before hitting the big guy himself.

Renee, on the other hand, fired her arrow on an overhead trajectory, skipping past the minions, landing right on top of the giant skeleton with a loud boom.

"U-uhhh…"

Lunatea's eyes fluttered open. W-what happened? I beat up all the samurai and then I… blacked out?

These clothes… they're Takeshi's, aren't they?

Her eyes traveled upwards, to the now bare-chested young lord who was now watching over the fogless cemetery. Her ears twitched, listening to the sounds of fighting coming from somewhere else nearby. The others… they're being attacked too!

"Oh, you're awake!" Takeshi glanced back and noticed the Wererabbit was finally conscious. "Lunatea, are you alright? How are you feeling?" He asked as he kneeled over to her.

"I-I'm fine. Just… feeling aches all over my body. That technique really took a lot out of me."

"I-I can come with you. I can still fight," she declared as she slowly stood up. "Oh!" She quickly covered her exposed panties with her hands. "Well, this is… embarrassing…" She blushed, looking up at the young lord.

"Haa… haa… haa… haa…"

The moment the samurai were all dead, Lunatea reverted back to her old self. Her panties decided that there was no need for it to turbocharge her strength anymore. As such, it stopped pumping the monsterkin with mana, making her lose all the strength she possessed in an instant.

She panted, kneeling down on the ground, sweat covering her naked light brown skin from top to bottom. Now, it took all her strength just to keep herself from falling unconscious.

However, the moment she looked at Takeshi to answer his question, her vision blacked out.

She fell to the ground, her naked behind fully visible to the young lord.

Another negative of the technique—she would be unconscious after using it as her strength was completely spent.

It seemed the young lord would have to carry her back to the others.
