of a Salesman take two!

"I guess... It's now or never... We need to kill Aqua and get Cherchiel and our equipment back, then... we can save Isalia," Yulia says and Goma and Lri nod.

Lri grabs a near identical black swimsuit from the trashed shop as Goma uses heal repeatedly on herself to remove her mana and then hands her dagger to Yulia.

Yulia takes a few seconds, simply quietly breathing as she prepares and tries not to think, what might happen if this fails again.

Once they are ready they descend back into the water. The trip down to Aqua's shop is quiet and anxious. They arrive and there's no sign of any Sahuagin or anyone else. Yulia approaches the door and opens it looking inside. She sees Aqua sitting on a chair, a large chest sits in the corner of the room and Cherchiel is there sitting on his lap, facing him. His cock is embedded in her cunt and her arms are held above her head. Cuffs around her neck and wrists are attached to chains on the ceiling, keeping her upright and her arms above her head. His hands hold her waist, raising her and dropping her onto his cock, "Heh... What's wrong, Angel? Smile for me." he tells her and Cherchiel speaks, her face is turned away from Yulia so she can't see her, but she hears.

"S... sorry... Like this, master?" she says and he slams her down eliciting a shrill cry of pleasure from Cherchiel as he responds.

"Yes like that. Big wide smile... After all I'm about to fill you up. Aren't you happy?" he asks.

"Yes, master! Fill me! I want to have your children!" Cherchiel cries out enthusiastically and begins to bounce herself on his cock. Yulia stares in shock and Aqua seems to spot her.

"Oh... What a shame, I won't be able to fill you now," he says and roughly pushes her off of him, his cock slipping out of her making her gasp as she slips off his lap and is left just floating in the water, her legs kicking, trying to return to him, but he stands and approaches Yulia, ignoring Cherchiel's attempts to get back to his cock, "Welcome back, Yulia, come for another fucking?" he asks.

Yulia is shaken from her shock and glares at him, "I'm here to kill you!" she responds angrily and immediately starts the fight by shooting a **** lance at him. It hits and staggers him, but he grins and dashes at her, she turns and flees, swimming upwards and indeed, he exits the hut, but doesn't seem to be able to chase her upwards as she gets out of his reach. Yulia joins with Goma, Lri and Lemiel and turns staring down at him as they all float out of his reach.

"Oh... Is this an ambush? How cute!" he says and raises his sword, but immediately he goes rigid and struggles to move his sword as Goma hits him with puppet, it doesn't last long, but Yulia opens up on him. Casting Blizzard. The water around them begins to freeze and unfreeze rapidly as the blizzard rapidly cools the area and he sneers up at her and raises his sword again and Goma begins to let out an angry cry and then turns and lunges at Yulia, but is intersected by Lri who easily grabs her arms and pins them behind her, holding her easily.

Aqua seems surprised and his surprise turns to anger as Yulia hits him with an Icicle, it breaks against his skin instead of impaling him, but still injures him, "You fucking... sluts!" he roars angrily only for a **** Lance from Yulia to knock him on his ass.

"Come get us!" Yulia taunts him and he glares up at her. The crystallized energy was really helping, but she would be tapping into her own reserves of mana soon. He gets up and switches his target, releasing Goma from the swords effect and targeting Lemiel instead, but surprisingly it has no effect on her and she calls out.

"I am an angel of the One True God! I feel no envy in my heart!" she mocks him and he snarls. Yulia hits him again with **** lance, this time he collapses onto his back and groans. Yulia sees the perfect target and slams her next **** lance directly into his exposed testicles. This elicits a scream of pain from him as his hand moves to cover his crushed testicles, he switches his target again, an act of desperation and targets Yulia.

She feels it, a rush of emotion. Her mind lashing out. Lemiel has so much power... Goma's so cute... Lri can move so gracefully in the water... She wishes she was like that... she can be like that... She just has to take those things from them. She turns and fires her last **** lance at Lemiel, it hits and Lemiel is launched by the blow, sent completely out of the water before Yulia lunges for Lri, Lri grabs Yulia's wrists as Yulia tries to punch at her, easily holding the weak priestess at bay.

"What... Ha what will you do now?! You can't hit me from up there!" Aqua taunts, Yulia is after all the only ranged fighter and even if she wasn't being affected by him, she's out of Mana. "We had a nice little fight last time, Siren... How about it, come on down, I bet you can win this time," he taunts and Lri looks at Yulia still desperately trying to attack her and at Goma who looks nervous, she has no mana and no weapons now. Lri is thinking about it, it might be their only chance.

Suddenly a beam of light launches down from out of the water, screaming towards Aqua, his eyes widen before it impacts and the light fades, Lemiel wielding her blades revealed as the light fades and with a grin down at the skewered Aqua she speaks, "Cannonball..." she says and Aqua reaches a hand up, trying to grab for her before his hand collapses. He's dead.

Yulia stops attacking and looks confused, "Wha... Did I... I'm so sorry!" she says to Lri and Lri shrugs.

"It's fine. We won that's all that matters," she says and floats down to where Lemiel is. Yulia and Goma follow.

"What happened?" Yulia asks and Lemiel smiles.

"You knocked me out of the water and up in the air, well... No more water, powers returned and I realized... It would take a lot of energy, but I figured I'd only need one blow... So, I created a superheated light around me and just dropped back into the water. With the light turning the water into steam it didn't slow my momentum and I was able to reach him and stick him like the pig he is!" she announces cheerfully and then sighs, "Used... a lot of magic to create something hot enough and make it last long enough to carry me from the surface down to the ocean floor though..." she adds, "luckily it's probably safe to rest, once we've saved Cherchiel I mean," she says and then reaches down and grabs the blade from Aqua's hand and holds it out to Yulia, "could be useful... It is a demonic weapon though," she says.

"I'll think about it," Yulia says taking it for the moment before going back into Aqua's shop.

"M... Master? Where's Master?" Cherchiel whines, still squirming violently in the shackles holding her.

"What the hell did he do to her?" Yulia asks, clearly worried about her current state.

"I don't know, but hopefully a simple cure spell should work," she suggests and Yulia nods. Her mana was replenished by God's Light so she reaches out and casts Cure and Cherchiel stops moving and then a gentle sound escapes her, it sounds like... whimpering.

"Wh... What happened? Why was I? I let him..." Cherchiel starts to whimper as her mind clears and Yulia rushes over as best she can and hugs her.

"Don't worry. He made you, it wasn't you," Yulia reassures her and Cherchiel hesitates.

"But..." she sounds broken as she continues, "I... I still want him... I still feel it," she says and Yulia looks surprised and worried about this.

Lemiel puts a hand on Yulia's shoulder and slices through the chains with her light blades, freeing Cherchiel.

"Get your stuff... We'll go back to the swimsuit shop up there and rest. We can figure this out later, but for now... We should all get some rest," Lemiel states and Yulia reluctantly nods, holding Cherchiel as Cherchiel begins to gently weep.

They return to the swim suit shop after Yulia grabs all her stuff from the chest and all of them rest, Lemiel being the only one not to suffer from a restless sleep.

When they wake back up, Yulia is very happy to have her mask back and her previous swimsuit.

"Now we're almost back to full strength, the Sahuagin are weakened again and we just need Isalia, then we can get off this forsaken floor..." she mutters, looking over to Cherchiel who seems a bit better after resting, but is clearly deep in thought and not happy thoughts.
