Chapter 63 - Kidnapping Part One
Three figures passed through the gates of a large city named Firmingsalos. Being a city so close to the border, there were many humans as well and beastkin walking up and down the busy streets. This city was one of the trade hubs for the Rural Kingdom, with it being geographically positioned between three borders. You would need to travel almost a week from each border to reach another city. In comparison, Firmingsalos was only a few days away. The city streets were filled with large structures made of brick and mortar. Some buildings were so tall they reached almost five floors high. To Kana, who walked down the streets, she felt a little nostalgic and also very sick. It reminded her so much of the streets she had to live on for so very long before finally meeting her end on one snowy night.
Kana did her best to try to overcome this nervous feeling in her stomach. She stuck close to Ceilie to the point of almost tripping her. But Ceilie did not mind. "We need to find a clothes shop first so Kana can have proper clothes to wear. It will also be more convenient if she is walking around in her humanoid form."
"I can't wait to see Kana in a cute dress!" Tilia was picking out clothes in her head for Kana to try on. It seemed she wanted to play dress up, and Kana was the doll.
"I need something easy to move in." Kana spoke up. She didn't want to wear any dresses. Ever since the last rock episode she had kept her tail much lower than normal. She was afraid one might sneak its way into her most sensitive area once again. She was now traumatized by this event.
"Kana is right. Something easy to move in is best. We will be traveling a lot, and a dress will not work for her." Ceilie said as she continued to look around before spotting an armor shop. "There. We should be able to find what we need there."
Ceilie pointed at a shop not too far away, and the group headed over. The shop had many wooden dummies lined with sets of metal armor, leather armor, and even a few mage robes. There was even a display of cheap weapons outside. Outside by the steps was a young fox girl swishing her tail back and forth as she yelled out to the people passing by. "Triten Armor has a special going! Ten percent off on full sets of armor! Only for today! Come get your armor before everything is sold out!" The young fox girl even ran up to a man with some stains on his arm and grabbed his arm with a bright smile. "Hey, mister, your armor looks like it could use some refurbishing. How about taking advantage of our armor cleaning service? It's only one silver coin to get those stains polished right out. "
The man in the armor blushed and nodded his head. "That is a deal! I see you're working hard as always, Kiliffia. Make sure you ask your pa for a raise."
"Hehe… If it was so easy to get money out of my pa, I wouldn't be out here yelling at the top of my lungs every day. He always says those who do not work and work hard do not deserve anything!" Kiliffia replied
"Haha! That sounds like your old man. I will make sure to spend ten silver today so you can earn a few extra coppers." The man in the armor replied with a jolly laugh.
"You're the best!" Kiliffia yelled out happily as she jumped in the air. Her actions made all the men turn their heads. Mainly because Kiliffia, although looks young she was actually of marriageable age, extremely cute, and was fully endowed, meaning if she jumped, the whole world bounced along with her. This also would cause many jealous wives and girlfriends to slap the men beside them.
Celie and Tilia both looked down at their chest and cupped their own breasts before pouting. One was depressed, while the other was full of hope. "I am still young and have plenty of room to grow!" Tilia nodded her head firmly. Ceilie could only pout without a word as she cursed the unfairness of the goddesses.
As for Kana, she was busy watching the swishing fluffy tail in front of her. She reached out with her paw, grabbed hold of it, and pulled. "Ahh!"
"Huh? Wait, Kana, what are you doing!?" Ceilie only now realized that Kana had found herself behind Kiliffia and was currently rubbing the fluffy tail on her face.
"Wha!? Wha!? What do you want!?" Kiliffia Was confused as to what was going on. All of a sudden, someone pulled her tail, and when she looked to see who it was, it turned out to be a red lizard, and they were currently rubbing her tail all over their face!
"This is soft and fluffy. Fluff, fluff." Kana mumbled as she rubbed the soft tail on her cheek back and forth.
"Kana, stop that! You can't just go and do that to someone you don't know." Ceilie came running over and pulled Kana back.
"But you won't let me fluff your tail, Ceilie!" Kana protested.
"That's cause you almost bit it off in your sleep!" Ceilie yelled out.
Kiliffia, who was listening to their conversation, was hugging her tail with fear in her eyes. 'Will she bite mine off!?'
A few minutes later…
"Bahahaha!" A big burly human man with a bald head let out a loud laugh while patting Kiliffia on the head. "To think someone would be so brazen to go and fluff someone's tail in public."
"I kind of lost control when it was swishing back and forth, and before I knew it, I was already fluffing it."
