A Trip to the Capital and a Samurai Girl

There were various quests posted on the guild's board. Some involved monster hunting, while others involved gathering herbs or even investigating strange places. There were also a few rather simpler ones, like babysitting or doing chores.

Since we'd completed a lot of simple quests already, our rank had increased just the day before so now we were purple adventurers which signified we were no longer just beginners. Though I honestly felt that black was a cooler color than purple, so it was just slightly a let down.

We now had access to a higher level of quests.

The three of us were looking at the job board while our other party member received a massage in a back room that I had no doubt would include a 'happy ending'. I was rather elated to learn that my lessons with Linze had born fruit as many of the words on these postings made sense to me. This was surprising, given that I had only been on this world studying for little more than three weeks. I had to chalk it up to increased intelligence and memory and I took a moment to silently pray my thanks to God. I didn't know if he took sustenance from such things like in some fiction but I was fully willing to offer it up daily even so. It was the least I could do.

"Northern ruins..." I read, staring intently at the odd letters, "...uh...hunting quest... mega-slime? Did I get that right?" I asked Linze.

"Yes." replied the mage with an odd tone.

It took me a moment to decipher the payment. The number system they used here was really different, "Eight silver coins! Not bad, what about this one?!"

Elze and Linze spoke simultaneously, "Absolutely not!"

They both looked really disgusted that I would even suggest such a thing. "Huh? Why not? Slimes are generally pretty easy to defeat, right?" Dragon Quest was one of my favorite game series, only Suikoden beating it out. The cute little blue smiley face slimes, the memory made me feel warm inside.

That feeling was not shared by my companions. Elze shuddered, "Those things dissolve clothes don't you know? No way are we going anywhere near those disgusting things."

Linze nodded firmly with agreement.

I was fine with passing this one over but I still stared at my compatriots like they were being silly. Daniel had that very same characteristic of being able to naturally nude-ify them when the mood struck him, which was often, and I had seen their beautiful bodies unclothed a lot by now. Slimes like this still seemed like a good target, but the sisters were having none of it.

In the end, they decided upon a letter delivery request and I was rather surprised to see that it was a job put out by Zanac that business owner who'd gone gaga over Dan's and my clothing. Linze explained it, "Seven silver coins. A delivery to the Capital and travel expenses paid. This is a good one."

Elze nodded, leaning in to read the paper, "Yep, if we leave this one for even five minutes, I bet it would be snatched up. Let's do it!"

So we chose the letter job. It was pretty simple. We rented a wagon and some horses to make the trip to the Capital a bit more pleasant. When Daniel finally finished with the three guild-girls he'd convinced to give him a massage, he added his own customization. He disappeared into a building and returned with a stack of pillows and bedding. Between the two of us we laid it out in the wagon, increasing the comfort level but we both knew what he was going to use it for.

Linze was the first girl he fucked as Elze and I sat on the bench up front and convinced the horses to take us down the road to the Capital. I was very embarrassed when I once again had an accident just listening to the exciting sounds taking place behind me. Fortunately, Elze didn't notice but that still left me with soiled underclothes and a shameful dark spot on the front of my pants.

When Dan finally finished with Linze, I was treated to the arousing sight of Elze hungrily lapping up his cum straight from her sister's battered folds.

I knew semen tasted really good, but that activity still seemed like a bit much.

One thing was for sure, Elze and Linze were incredibly intimate as sisters. I had to wonder if it was a different society thing. I knew that Americans were very uncomfortable about naked bodies in a way we Japanese weren't. But though I had no sisters of my own, I was pretty sure they generally were not so mutually 'affectionate' as these two were. Making out with each other was one thing but actually putting your mouth and tongue on each other's genitals? That was pretty much sex!

North and north and more north we went upon a straight road through the countryside. It was pleasant and we sometimes met other travelers and made polite conversation. More than a few fellows clearly seemed to linger in order to surreptitiously ogle the girls as various sexual activities took place in our wagon.

"Oh my god, Elze!" Dan's voice came from behind me, "You have really leveled up that mouth of yours. Holy shit, that's some good cock-sucking!"

It had certainly sounded good, I'd been hearing all sorts of loud slurps and she'd kept making these moaning sounds that seemed to say, 'I really love having your cock in my mouth'. There was really a lot more confidence and skill evident in Elze's technique that hadn't been there when we'd first met.

She was pleased, coming off his cock with an audible pop, "Thanks. I've been practicing."

We left Reflet behind and passed through it's neighboring town of Nolan. We traveled throughout the day through farmland and rolling hills before finally reaching the community of Amanesque just as the sun was beginning to set. I figured we should spend a night at the inn here, but...

Wait. Couldn't I use my Gate spell to travel back to Reflet in an instant and sleep at the Silver Moon? And now that I've been to Amanesque, I can just Gate us right back here in the morning! That would save us some money!

However, when I voiced my plan the sisters shot it down, seeming almost affronted at the very idea.

"You just don't get it. The nice things about a journey are visiting unfamiliar stores in unfamiliar towns before spending the night at an unfamiliar inn. That's what traveling is all about!" explained Elze, looking at me as if I were a crazy person.

Linze added with much less outrage, "Mr. Zenfield gave us travel expenses for this very reason. He also suggested we use it for sight-seeing as well. It's only polite that we respect his wishes."

I gave in, "If that's how things work here, okay."

Dan patted my shoulder, "I thought it was a good idea. That Gate spell is totally broken. I'm sure we'll be using it like that all the time once the girls get bored with this 'unfamiliar' kick."

I thanked him for his comment. Dan was a pretty stalwart friend.

With that settled, we went and found an 'unfamiliar' inn before the sun went down completely. It was a bit more upscale than the Silver Moon. Daniel and the sisters took a double room for themselves, while I rented a smaller single room. We tied up our cart and went out for dinner, the innkeeper giving us a good recommendation.

We'd only been walking for a few minutes when we noticed a disturbance, a crowd had gathered and based on their manner and chatter, it seemed like something bad was taking place. "What's that? Come on." Elze waved at us and we followed her as she pushed her way through the onlookers. Getting to the front we found a large group of rough looking men encircling a young woman wearing clothes that stood out around here but hit me with a pang of familiarity.

"...That girl... she's wearing some pretty strange clothes." remarked Elze, even as she summoned her oversized gauntlets.

Following her cue, I gripped the hilt of my sword, "...She's a samurai!" I told her with excitement.

The girl wore a pink kimono and a blue hakama with a pair of swords at her waist. It really was a classical Japanese outfit, giving her the demeanor of a female samurai.

There were at least ten dangerous seeming men, each with the look of violent criminals to them. All had weapons. A few had drawn their swords or knives.

"We're here to show our thanks for that little incident earlier, girlie!" loudly declared one as he looked around at his fellows.

"Whatever might ye mean?" asked the girl seemingly completely calm, "I've no recollection of any such thing, I don't."

"Quite playin' dumb! Don't think you can get off safe after doin' a number on our buddies like that!" I suppose that explained why there were so many of them and why this guy still looked a bit nervous. This girl was a clear combatant!

"Ah. You must be the companions of those ruffians I handed over to the town guard earlier today. That incident was entirely their fault, verily." What was with that medieval way of speaking? She sounded like she should be in a play! "They should not have been going around drunkenly flaunting **** in the middle of the day, indeed."

"Shut yer trap! Grab her!" he shouted and all of the men charged at once.

The difference in skill was immediately obvious. She dodged their attacks, nimbly slipping around them with grace and surety before choosing her moment and grabbing one man's arm, swiveling around, and throwing him to the ground. His boots managed to impact with the faces of two others sending them flailing backwards. She moved in step with another, broke his posture, and threw him too. What martial art was that? She seemed expert in using her enemy's momentum against them. Making it look easy, she stepped aside letting one bearded bruiser's would-be tackle arrest the charge of another.

Another one was thrown and then a second, when her perfect movements suddenly slowed, her whole body taking on a somewhat sluggish manner.

I saw a ruffian with a sword take advantage of her weakness, coming from behind with a downward swing- Watch out!

"Come forth, Sand!" the incantation I'd practiced the most came instantly to mind, "Obstructing Dust Storm: Blind Sand!"

My earth magic sprayed a vicious stream of sand directly into his face. His attack was interrupted, his sword dropping as he pressed his hands to his face, "Augh, my eyes!" he screeched and fell away.

Elze grumbled at me, "Aah, jeeze, why do you always have to stick your nose where it doesn't belong?!" but she still waded into the melee without hesitation while jets of high-pressure water signaled Linze's contribution to the fight. Our intervention gave the samurai girl the moment she needed to rebound and soon enough all of the men were lying beaten and broken upon the ground. The town guards arrived not long after that and we moved away from them with the girl.

"Truly, I am in your debt. My name is Kokonoe Yae. Ah yes, Yae is my given name and Kokonoe is my family name, it is." she bowed her head deeply and I felt a bit of deja vu at that introduction.

Dan muttered, "Are you related to Yoda?" while Elze cocked her head, gauntleted hands on her hips, "Oh! Are you from Eashen?"

"Indeed, I am. I have come here from Oedo, I have."

Oedo? The old name for Tokyo? Why were there similarities like that? Dan clapped his hands three times as I introduced myself, "I'm Mochizuki Touya." I met her eyes and gave her a knowing smile, "Touya is my given name, and Mochizuki is my family name."

With her buttocks cocked towards Dan, she smiled over her shoulder at me, her eyes glowing, "Ooh! Touya-dono, you are from Eashen as well, are you?!"

"Uh...." I was distracted from answering by the sight of her lowering her hakama to reveal the tight little moons of her bottom bisected by the twisted cord of a traditional white fundoshi. While undeniably erotic to my eyes right now, that was an awfully specific Japanese undergarment. What in the world was it doing on her in another world? I continued, "Ahh...nah...uh...It's a similar place, but I'm actually from somewhere else entirely."

"HUH?!" The twin sisters who were now both alongside Yae, showing off their own bottoms to Dan -no panties on Linze!-, were surprised by my response. Oh, right. I'd let them believe I was from Eashen in the first place. Lying is always a pain...

"Damn, girl. Look at this crazy underwear." commented Dan as he gripped the cording of her fundoshi and pulled at it even as he fondled her asscheek with his other hand.

"Never mind that..." I stared, watching Dan slap first Linze's butt and then Elze's. The girls looked relieved to straighten and fix their clothes while Dan went back to squeezing Yae's ass with both hands, "Uh... You seemed a bit unsteady on your feet in that fight back there. You're not hurt anywhere, are you?"

"This is seriously a fabulous ass, girl. Fucking dense some real muscle, huh?" remarked Dan as he prodded and squeezed her cheeks.

"Ah! ah Thank you, sir..." her face was flushed as she then looked at me, "But no, I am unscathed, I am. However... as much as it shames me to admit. I have dropped my traveling funds. Therefore..."

Her stomach suddenly growled incredibly loudly and Yae's face managed to turn an even darker shade and she shamefully curled her shoulders, her shapely little bottom wiggling a bit in Dan's hands.

And so, the starving samurai joined our party.
