Wait, what time is it again ?

Waking up, you felt like it has been ages since you had a sleep like that, with no dreams, or at least none that you can remember. There was also the nice feeling of being completely revigorated from yesterday's training. The bath you took after it helped you with your body aches, and even though some were still here, they weren't really bothering you much as they were only small.

Despite the nice feeling, there was one thing you forgot to take into account : the time, and looking at the position of the sun through your window, for as much as you could see from your bed, it was quite late in the morning. Seeing this, you quickly got up to dress yourself, since you didn't forget your promise to Rei, it being that you and her will go to see her family.

You dressed very quickly, buckling your belt and getting both your weapons before heading downstairs, where you were welcomed by the joyous chatters of the girls. All of them, excepted Rei, were in their nightly outfit, consisting of a nightgown for Douma, simple pajamas for both Ladies, which was something you weren't expecting from them, and of course nothing at all for Allit, which made you stare a bit at her big breasts before coming up to them.

As expected, it was the naked dragonness who spotted you first, and she was happy to make it clear by shouting.

"Master's here ! The sleepyhead is here !"

Before giggling, something that you found surprisingly cute coming from a dragonness able to kill you with a simple blow. The second girl whose voice rose was Rei, despite you expecting her to be the first one to speak when you arrived.

"Good morning, Adam. I talked with the others while you were lazying around in your bed, and we will be going right after we finished packing our bags."

"Okay then." You reply, before adding, in a playfully annoyed tone. "And can't I sleep in peace ? I had a long day yesterday, okay ?"

Well, this answer made the girls giggle at least, before you got tot he kitchen to eat your breakfast. Afterwards came the time to pack your things up, which was quite easy in fact due to the sync you had with Rei. You both helped each other pack their things whenever needed, and it made the process a whole lot faster. In the end, it didn't take you more than ten minutes to do so, and you both were ready to leave right after.

You, Rei and the other girls then got together outside, in front of the manor, to exchange goodbyes, goodbyes that got Allit to throw a small and sudden tantrum, leading her to hug you as if you were a plushie, so tight that you almost ended up suffocating. She was repeating that she didn't want you to go, and it was quite saddening to see. But she stopped as quickly as she started, letting you go before waving you goodbye with a playful smile, saying.

"Master, when you come back I'll punish you for not taking me with you."

And that threat would plague your mind for almost two hours after you left the manor behind, starting you walk towards Rei's home. Well, it was in your mind because neither Rei nor you were talking for quite a long time, simply walking together side by side, as you quite enjoyed the feeling of going for a long walk with her, reminding you of the first quest you fulfilled, a long time ago now. The feeling seemed to be shared by Rei too, as she had a smile that wouldn't ever shrink at any point.

This was like your new quest, and you couldn't feel better about it. But wait a second...
