Excursion

A group of four people moved through Ludo Manor.

“T-This way. This way. F-Follow me. I will guide you to the place you w-want to beeek!”

“WAN! WAN!”

“L-Liz calm down, not so fast!”

Ashley had trouble keeping Liz restrained as the girl eagerly bounced from place to place. She was enjoying this little walk very much.

Their guide, Megan, wasn’t for that matter. She tried to keep up a brave front but the dog girl clearly unnerved her. Liz was friendly to everyone, including the NEET but that friendliness certainly can come across as a little bit overbearing.

“You can relax, Meg”, Kikki assured with a giggle. “Wanwan is super friendly!”

“WAN! WAN!”

“And why exactly are you coming along?”, Ashley asked his sister.

“Because I’m boooored.”, the half-imp replied. “I don’t have any work today, so I want to see what this museum is all about.”

It probably wasn’t that bad of an idea. At least this way he can make sure Kikki won’t cause any more mischief. Not that his presence ever stopped her in the first place. He could only wish Kikki was as easy to control than Liz.

…

Ashley suddenly remembered what Shizu said this morning, before Liz started taking up his full attention.

“Kikki, is it true that Dahlia made a Devil Deal?”

His sister smiled at him. “Sorry, Big Bro. That’s client confidentiality! Telling you about the deals I make is like a super big No-no!”

Figures. He wondered what sort of deal Dahlia would want to make in the first place. He could always ask her herself of course but…

“Can you stop making any more deals?”, Ashley asked. “Or at least run them by me first.”

“I would like to, but that’s not how it works, Big Bro. I’m so sorry.” Her ears drooped and she looked at him with tear-filled, sad eyes. It was very cursed. “If any contestant wants to make a deal I’m compelled to oblige them no matter what.”

…

That sounded odd to Ashley.

“What if somebody wants to make a deal to automatically win the game?”

Kikki’s impish smile returned near instantaneously. “There are SOME limits but you’d be surprised what you could get away with, if you are willing to pay the price.”

Ashley decided that this is a price he should make sure nobody has to pay.

“How exactly are deals made then?”, Ashley asked next. “Do you just have to sign a contract or something?”

Kikki giggled. “Of course not, Silly. Nothing so easily exploitable. My deals are more...fundamental in nature. You have to accept your desire in your heart of hearts. It’s super romantic!”

…

“That sounds extremely dangerous.”

“You think?”, Kikki cocked her head. “Since it’s based on your own desires you can’t be **** into a deal by someone else and on the flip side, you can even make a deal when you are incapacitated.”

That actually gave Ashley an idea. “So, you mean Liz could make a deal even now?”

"Maybe? Hey Lizzie, want to make a deal? How abouuuuut...full access to Big Bro's sausage! 24/7."

"WAN WAN!"

"BWU...!"

Ashley had a near heart attack but Kikki only giggled.

"I'm joking! Lizzie would have to understand the concept of a deal first before she could make one. It’s a bit difficult to explain but you can’t accidentally make a deal just because you had an intrusive thought. Don’t worry.”

That was...something at least? Still, it was evident that trying to prevent these deals from happening was a dead end.

He spent the remainder of the way asking Kikki some more questions. The half imp was more than happy to answer all his inquiries but he could tell that she was also very adept at dodging and deflecting.

For example, one matter that caught his eye was her victory points. According to this morning's update, Kikki was only at 28 points. That was oddly low as far as Ashley was concerned. With two devil deals she should be at least at thirty.

“Nice catch”, Kikki praised him. “Maybe I lost some points because of my work, or I did something else. There are probably plenty of ways to lose points we don’t even know about.”

Ashley pondered if it might be a good idea to compile a list of actions that likely resulted in point loss. But he quickly dismissed the idea. Attempting to make heads or tails of that convoluted system sounded like it could drive someone insane.

He had many more questions, but before he could get to them the group arrived at the so-called museum. The place certainly looked interesting enough, Ashley thought as he stared at the massive penguin statues.

“Welcome to the Penguin Museum. Beak entertainment is guaranteed. That would be a cool 50 BP per penguin.”

The penguin at the ticket gate wasted no time. Of course they had to pay. That shouldn’t even surprise Ashley at this point.

Actually...can Liz even pay in her current state?

“That is fin”, the penguin responded. “Pets can enter free of charge.”

Well then.

-50 BP

The girls(well one girl, as Megan and Liz were let in for free) paid but just as it was Ashley’s turn to go through the turnstile he found the thing not budging.

“And where do you think you’re going?”

“In there?”

The penguin clerk managed to look almost offended. “Absolutely out of the question. The master is not allowed inside the museum unless he is invited in by his date.”

“B-but…”

“Are you invited in by your date?”

“Well…”

“You are not invited in by your date”, the penguin tittered. “Which means you are not allowed into the museum. Now begone, penguin museum has a no loiterers policy.”

“We are just here to see Saha”, Kikki explained with sparkling eyes. “Can’t you pleeeeeease make an exception, Mr. Pengu?”

“Absolutely not.”

“Keh.” Kikki clicked her tongue and turned around to Ashley. “What do you think, big bro?”

The master was not about to give up just yet. “Call Sahara here then. That shouldn’t be an issue.”

With the way the penguin looked at him it very much was. “I am afraid that is not possible. She is very much stuck with her work. Simply unable to leave her post. You however can leave. Now begone. Your presence is bothering our paying visitors.

Ashley wondered what penguin meat would taste like and if Liz would like it.

As much as Ashley liked animal cruelty, he should consider other options. He could send Kikki and Megan to check up on her but...they are hardly the most trustworthy of individuals.

Of course he could always go back and bring Shizu. That sounded like a pain though.

“That will not be necessary.”

Liz began whining and hid herself behind Ashley.

The reason was evident.

De Sade had appeared.

Why does this always have to sound so dramatically?

“What do you want?”, Ashley asked with a scowl, noticing how all the girls were subtly moving out of the way.

His former teacher smiled faintly. “Come now, Mr. Pompadour. Are you really in a position to spurn my aid?”

Without waiting for a reply, the teacher walked to the penguin staff member.

“Allow the master entry.”

The penguin puffed up his chest. “As I was saying only the date…”

“V urneq lbh gur svefg gvzr, lbh vzorpvyr. Na bccbeghavgl sbe qenzn unf nevfra naq jr jvyy abg fdhnaqre gung, abe jnfgr inyhnoyr fperra-gvzr ba gur znfgre gehqtvat onpx naq sbegu. Lbh ner njner bs gur pbafrdhraprf fubhyq bhe cebqhpre or qvfcyrnfrq nal shegure.”

Ashley had no idea what the hell de Sade just did, but the ticket penguin broke out into a cold sweat and pushed a button. “Please waddle right in.”

The perplexed master looked between the penguin and de Sade. “Is this a trick? Why would you help us?”

“I do not rely on tricks, Mr. Pompadour. This is simply in my best interest.” With that as her parting words, de Sade slowly walked away.

...

“Oh, well!”, Kikki shrugged her shoulders and entered the museum. “Let’s go in already!”

Ashley really didn’t want to anymore.

But he reluctantly followed.

The museum was as grand as the entry hall suggested. The uh...Entry Entry hall was a massive circular dome from which no less than twelve paths exited, all apparently to different exhibitions. Then a staircase led up to a second floor where the same thing repeated.

Attempting to find Sahara here would definitely be a pain.

Or so Ashley thought when Liz eagerly pulled him towards one particular path. It wasn’t as if he had a better idea, so he followed her lead.

The group traveled through a short hallway and reached a place that looked like a wax museum. It had a bunch of statues of the girls, as well as Ashley.

It was very creepy.

“Uh, cute!”, Kikki giggled as she looked at a figure of him dressed in some sort of...sexy santa costume while riding a sleigh. Why was that here? And for that matter why do so many of the statues depict him in some form of dress?

Well, that aside, Sahara clearly was not here. There were statues of her, but no sight of the rich girl herself.

That did not stop Liz from eagerly pulling towards one particularly haughty statue though.

“WAN WAN!”

…

…

.

Sahara was frozen in place.

No matter what, she could not move a single inch! She couldn’t even blink!

She wasn’t in pain at least. Her eyes didn’t dry up, nor was the inability to breathe impeded.

But this was so utterly boring!

Her field of view was limited to what was directly in front of her. And there was only so much she could spend looking at statues before she grew bored of it.

How long will she have to stay like this? Curse that useless jester! This was all her fault!

Hours passed like this. Too many to count. There were no windows in this room so it was impossible to tell the time. Was she already here for days? Weeks? Months? Centuries?

Suddenly, panic gripped her. Was she abandoned? Forgotten? Now that couldn’t possibly be the case!

But why is nobody coming for her then?

Then, in her darkest hour, she heard some clamor.

Was that Daddy? Why was Liz running around on all fours?

Liz barked and was trying to get up on the platform, while Daddy was struggling to hold her back.

“L-Liz! Sit! Calm down!”

Liz of course obeyed like she always does but even then she was still eagerly gesturing towards her with her head.

“Down, Liz. It’s just a statue”, Daddy told her.

No, I’m not!

Sahara tried to gesture, make herself known. But of course that was impossible. That wretched jester was part of the group too but would she say a word?

“Hmm...I wonder…”

Kikki slowly walked up and poked her. “Are we sure this is a statue?”

Yes! Leave it to my lackey to figure things out!

Daddy seemed confused before finally realization dawned on him.

“You think this is the actual Sahara?”

He seemed horrified. As he should!

Then, Kikki wrapped both of her arms around her. And began tickling her sides.

Buh!

S-stop that!

Sahara tried to squirm, do anything to escape the attacking fingers but as was to be expected was utterly unable to do so.

“Wow!”, Kikki meanwhile gasped. “Saha is super ticklish there! If she doesn’t react to that, that can only mean one thing!”

Yes! Now stop molesting me and do something about it!

“She really is a statue!”

“Yeah, that makes more sense”, Daddy sighed and shook his head. “You had me scared there for a second.”

No, you foolish Daddy! Stop objectifying me!

“Geez! That’s not what I mean, Big Bro”, Kikki said with a pout. “We can’t dismiss the chance that Saha got turned into a statue. Remember what happened to you?”

Daddy winced, probably reliving a traumatic memory or any such unhelpful nonsense.

“It still feels a bit far-fetched”, he finally responded. “Shouldn’t we search the rest of the museum before jumping to conclusions?”

“But Lizzie is whining pretty loudly...”

These utter nincompoops. Stop lollygagging and rescue me!

“Let me try something else.”

What now?

Without any further warning, Kikki stood on her tiptoes and began striping Sahara’s dress off her.

E-EEEEEEEK!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING!

And the worst part was, Sahara still couldn’t move as her dress tumbled down! All she could do was stand there in nothing but her undergarments, on full display!

This was utterly humiliating!

“Aha!”, the little imp said triumphantly as she pulled HER BLOOMERS DOWN!!!!!!

“See?”, Kikki declared with a proud smile. “That’s Saha’s chastity belt!”

DON’T LOOK AT THAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!

Daddy at least had the grace to blush. “A-alright...I think you made your point Kikki. So this is really…”

LOOK AWAY! LOOK AWAY! LOOK AWAY!

“Uhu. Oh, look! Her face is getting all red.”

OF COURSE IT IS! THIS IS HUMILIATING!

Daddy was blushing as well, but he was still staring!

“W-what the hell happened to her?”, he blubbered out. “Megan...do you know something about this?”

Hedhehogstew69: Oh yea lol

Hedhehogstew69: that’s totally the slut

WHO ARE YOU CALLING A SLUT!

“Seriously?” Daddy looked utterly distraught. “W-We have to save her!”

YES!

“Oh, look! We can even pose her!”

NOOOOOO!!!!

…

...

…

“pfff…”

DON’T LAUGH AT MEEEEEE!!!!

Daddy tried his best to stifle his laughter, but was not very successful.

Kikki meanwhile was just happily humming along, as if she was playing with a doll. “Oh, she’s trembling now. That means it’s working! Should we strip her more?”

WHAT DO YOU MEEEEEAAAAN WORKING!

“WAN WAN!”

But before the half imp could do her wicked work Liz was upon her. In a momentary laps of concentration, Liz has wrenched herself free from Daddy and was now jumping straight onto the platform.

H-hey! Be careful! I don’t have any balance…!

Of course with how eager the doggie delinquent was it only took a little for Sahara to topple over.

E-Eeeeeeeeek!

Once again Daddy rushed forward, with a pretty impressive dive, he barely managed to catch her.

At the same time, Sahara took a deep breath.

“D-Daddy?”

Sahara blinked down at him while Ashley groaned under her. Why does he always end up having to do this?

“WAN WAN!”

At the same time, Liz(on top of her) was eagerly licking her face. Ewww. Sahara winced and tried to free herself from this uncouth sandwich.

Meanwhile Kikki and Megan looked down at them. “Nice catch, Big Bro!”

Daddy only groaned in response. With the way the two of them landed on top of him, he must have cracked something.

But Sahara had more important matters to worry about. That rabid dog was ruining her hair!

“What is wrong with her?”, the rich blonde asked exasperated as she futilely attempted to prevent the mad mutt from slobbering all over her.

“A lot of things”, Kikki responded. “I'll tell you everything later.”

Sahara was not sure she would have a “later” if the dog girl kept rubbing herself against her!

“Someone do something already!”, she whined.

Beneath her, Daddy groaned around. The rabid movement of the rabid dog must result in quite some pain.

“Liz! Calm down! SIT!”

Liz immediately sat herself down with considerable ****. Sahara gasped as the full weight of the quite large delinquent pressed into her.

Of course this in turn caused Sahara, or rather her chastity belt to slam into a rather delicate part of Ashley.

CRACK!

"GYAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!"
