Netori: Stealing The Hero's Party!

Chapter 207: A Jealous Boyfriend

While Raven and Regalia made their way to the castle, Zoey who was leading Lilith back to the Inn ran into a bit of a problem. Standing before the Inn was her boyfriend as well as his mother, both of whom seemed to be arguing about Zoey while Lana stood by the door with one hand behind her back.

"Get her out!" Screamed the silver-eyed boy, his freckled face completely red in rage. "I know what she's been doing with that man! My friend told me all about those noises at night!"

'Shit…' Realizing that some of the guests they'd had over recently knew about her boyfriend, Zoey instantly figured out what was happening. Out of pure jealousy, they'd told her boyfriend Arc all about what was happening nearly every night in Raven's room, especially the part where Zoey's voice could be heard amidst the chaotic moans.

"You promise your daughter's hand in marriage and then join her in being a whore! How dare you insult my son in such a way!" The brunette mother with the form of a pear, growled in Daine's face.

"What do I do?!" Freaking out from afar, Zoey couldn't decide whether to move up close to diffuse the situation or simply let her family handle it as her presence might just add more fuel to the fire.

"Who are those two?" Lilith asked, growing curious about the whole ordeal.

She knew what happened inside Raven's bedroom at night, however, she had no clue about the relationship Zoey had with her boyfriend. Often the two went on dates, but that was only before she'd awoken her senses and got a sense for herself instead of letting her mothers decide everything she needed to do to be a regular girl.

"H-he's my boyfriend…" She replied with a stutter.

"What?!" Having seen how slutty she'd been with Raven, the news left Lilith shocked.

And the screams from her lips alerted the boyfriend as well as his mom. Turning to the duo, wide-eyed in horror Zoey stood there frozen with fear. Thankfully, even as the two raced towards her, Diane followed right behind and Lana followed her out of the Inn's front door.

"Where have you been?!" Screamed the boyfriend, his eyes squinted in rage.

"You slut!" Grabbing Zoey's hair, the mother pulled her towards herself and brought the automaton's head closer to her face.

"OUCHHHH!" She screamed, right before Lilith Pulled Zoey back away from the crazed lady.

"Try that again and I'll cut your fucking arm!" Lana growled, towering over like a giant over all of them.

Pushing the mother and son duo to the side, Diane moved closer to her daughter and spread her arms wide to protect her little girl. Having never been in a direct fight, her arms were quivering and yet like a hawk protecting its nest with its wings, she stood before the two–unmoving and willing to do anything to protect her daughter.

"DON'T YOU DARE THREATEN HER!" Turning around with a fireball ready to go in his hands, Arc slammed his fist against Lana's belly.

"AGHH!" Clenching her teeth, the giant elf stood her ground despite the clothing around her belly being burned off by the fireball. Glancing down at the idiotic human child, she did her darndest not to slap his head off his shoulder, and instead leaned closer to his face and warned. "Try that again and I'm gonna make sure you can never have another girlfriend again."

Bringing the butcher knife that she'd been hiding to the front, she held it near his groin, ready to rid him of his manhood at the slightest of movement.

"Lana, don't!" Urging her wife to back off a little, Diane didn't want Lana to end up as a prisoner in the dungeons. "That boy is not worth your freedom, alright? Ju–"

Distracted by her wife, Lana never noticed the boy whispering an afterimage spell and appearing in front of Diane. His clone was still standing before the elf, but the real body was in front of her wife with the butcher knife in his hand that she'd been holding.

"Wait!" Seeing bloody murder in her own son's unhinged eyes, even the mother attempted to stop him, but before anyone could even blink an eye, the knife ran through Diane's belly and even managed to stab Zoey since it was made for a giant.

"FUCK ALL OF YOU SLUTS!" Kicking Diane in the belly seconds before the realization of what had happened set in mind, Arc pushed her as well as Zoey's body off of the knife.

"DIANE! NO!" Lana screamed, watching the gaping hole in her wife's belly from the wound.

As for the boy? He was snatched on the hand by his own mother and dragged away while the rest were left with the aftermath of what he'd just done. Stuck between restraining the murderer and helping the injured duo, Lilith struggled for a spell but decided not to pursue the boy and instead focused on saving Zoey and Diane first.

"SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!" Scrambling towards her wife and daughter, Lana began to hyperventilate from the sight of the pooling blood. She'd faced many injuries herself and survived, but never without the help of a potion or a priest present at the party.

And with it still being prime morning, the adventurers were off to their quests, leaving the Inn empty. The next thing that came to her mind was a potion shop or the church, but from just one look at the wounds, it was clear that Diane wouldn't survive that severe blood loss for more than a minute.

"W-what h-ah…ahppened?" Her mouth pooling with blood, Diane could barely form any words.

"D-don't speak!" Grabbing both of her family members in her arms, Lana hushed them quiet and kept slapping their cheeks. "Just stay with me, okay?!"

Slowly looking up at Lilith–a girl she didn't even know yet, Lana wished that she had some way to heal her dying family.

"Can you heal them somehow?!" A shocked crowd began to gather all around the sight of the crime. Watching them gasping and choking on their breaths, the people of Elenaris seemed even less hopeful than they were helpful.

"I…" Clutching her bag, Lilith noticed only a single bottle of potion inside. It was the blood potion that she'd stolen, however, she didn't know exactly how it took effect. "Goddammit! Keep their mouths open, I'll try!"

Grabbing the blood potion, she was forced to use it on Diane and Zoey, although with it parted in two, its effect was severely lessened.

"I…don't wanna die…" Those words whispered by Diane became the wish for the devil, and the next thing they knew, the bleeding had stopped for Diane while Zoey had recovered completely.

But with the wound still open, at least Lana had time to get the duo to a priest.
