Return to the castle.

The guards look to you in surprise. Your party not only seems exhausted already, but half of them are effectively naked--garbed in nothing but nightgowns.

"Damn. What happened down there?" one asks.

"A lot of things, but we did it," you say. "A magical construct of some sort needed to be destroyed. Just watch your footing in the hallway for a couple traps, and you'll be good."

"You guys are pretty good. Here, I'll come with you back to the castle and let Her Majesty know."

Unknown to them, you're smuggling out an entire girl, just in pieces amongst the party. It's a strange feeling knowing that she's right there, in your pack. She seems to be good at keeping silent, however. You doubt she needs to even breath. Your party follows the guard back to the castle, though it's an awkward walk. People eye over your party, and Eva, Niki, and RF seems incredibly embarrassed. With how thin the gowns are, you know they can feel every breeze, and Eva looks especially flushed.

You make your way inside at last, though unfortunately, the queen is a rather busy woman ruling the entire empire. It's the court wizard you meet with, standing by the empty throne.

He approaches you with interest. "How did it go? I see your party will likely want to rest as soon as possible."

"He definitely is a mad inventor," you say. "Feel free to sort through all the scraps. There was also this horrifying machine with claws."

"And you bested it?"

"We did, yeah. Barely. Now we're gonna need to spend some of that reward on new clothes."

"I will inform Her Majesty as soon as I can. Thank you, adventurers."

Eva steps forward. "This mad mage must have been something else. Those machines, I've never seen..."

As they converse, you start hearing a strange noise behind you. It sounds like a girl whimpering. Though as you listen closer, it isn't sadness. It's something worse. You hear the muffled, embarrassed sounds of Alice moaning, though doing her best to hide it. Though as it continues, she lets out one especially audible sound of pleasure, causing the court wizard to glance over.

You look around nonchalant, and he returns to speaking with Eva.

"What's going on in there?" you turn your head and whisper.

"Mmm~! I... I am sorry, Kyle. I do not know where my pelvis currently is, but something is... Ah!"

"Shh!"

You quickly look around hoping to find the answer. Just then, rising up from Niki's backpack, is a tiny mischievous grin--Delphi. She winks.
