Exit the cave.

"Goodbye, Dajy," you say with a nod.

"Skipping over my title," she says. "I suppose you've earned that."

Your party departs, leaving the high succubus, the four other succubi, and Snow behind to figure out their next move while you do the same. You place her horn safely into your backpack, joining the pendant this demon king is still after. For now, you just need to focus on getting to the capital city in one piece, however. The plan is to go around the Cackling Woods this time around, as you're heading a different direction, and it should take you to your destination in just a couple more days. You should also be able to go for a few more hours before it's time for camp.

Though, as you begin walking, you spot something coming towards you. It seems like a big bug at first, but then you notice her features. It's Delphi the pixie. In each of her hands is a bag filled with supplies, and she flutters straight up to you with a coy smirk.

"Well hello again," she says. "I did say we'd see each other again soon."

"Where are you headed?" you ask.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm coming with you. This forest has become so boring to me. I'd like to see what fun I could have with all of you~..."

"You can't just invite yourself like that."

"Oh I'm coming. Like it or not, I'm all packed up." She moves around your head, and begins slipping her supplies into your backpack. "You wouldn't turn me away, would you, sweetie?"

"Don't be a jerk," Niki says and smacks your shoulder. "She doesn't have anywhere to go!"

"But she has a--" You sigh. "Nevermind. Of course you can come with us, but we aren't going straight home."

"That's all right with me," she says.

And just like that, a dark fairy has made her way into your life, and it seems like she's ready to stay. It isn't like there's a lack of room back at the manor, especially for such a tiny woman, but you're worried what this will mean for your sanity. It's already so chaotic with the three other girls, but now you'll have to share it with this micro-dominatrix.

I hope adopting more hopeless hotties doesn't become a reoccurring theme... I think I have more than enough now.

You feel a strange chill down your spine.
