Summoner: Monster Girl Harem!

Chapter 249 22: Together Again

?

The streets of the capital were extremely quiet as the steps of Vincent and his party resounded along the almost empty streets.

Before, it was bustling and vibrant, so the difference was jarring for Vincent, who was new to the city.

"It's really quiet." He couldn't help but mention as the two girls clung to his side while the taciturn Delphine followed behind them, no longer her flirtatious self but calmer as she walked a few metres away.

"Ah, that's because of the curfew in place~" Milla added, her lips pouting as she watched the guards eyeing them.

Thankfully she wore her armour and insignia of Lazarus; otherwise, they would have been stopped by now.

"Eh, but what about inns and bars?" 

"Oh, that's in a district that nobody cares about. The curfew is for the places where decent people live and work, not the trash." 

Milla's blunt words shocked him because they used to be classed as that trash she sneered at; now, she didn't seem to think that way.

'Well, she is a knight now, not to mention her past life was a goddess...' 

Vincent was struggling to handle the major changes. However, he decided to accept them as they happened.

It was unfair of him to judge when he was no longer the same person as before, probably changing even more than his cute sister.

"Are we fine because of your armour?"

"Mmm! So praise me~ or kiss me." 

Her words were quite cute and fair, but the other side of his body was pulled, as Raizel the fox seemed to be quite jealous now she wasn't just a weapon or spirit of a former daemon goddess.

"I'll praise you later; let's see Mother first. She will probably be angry; how far are your knight barracks?"

They proceeded to walk in the dark streets, the occasional torch and lantern giving a slight glimmer of light in the darkness, many guards watching them with sharp eyes until they saw Milla and Delphine for some reason and turned away, quickly leaving them alone.

'My sister has grown up so much!'

As they walked through the silent streets, the party came upon the massive palace structure.

There was a strong presence in the air; however, it wasn't what Vincent and Milla felt when they first visited.

It was as if they were walking through a graveyard with the same feeling of foreboding and menace, like something was lurking around the corner, just out of sight; the huge towering walls were brilliantly white and shimmering, however in the night, they seemed gloomy and dark, causing Vincent to remember his foreboding feeling from the night before.

'Something bad is going to happen...'

Feeling a sense of unease, his hands grasped Raizel and Milla tightly as he began to move faster, not wanting to remain in this horrible dark opening much longer.

A tall building with a huge silver emblem with two swords crossed over a shield stood to their left, the entrance filled with beautiful flowers, some that even bloomed best at night, filling Vincent's eyes with a more vibrant scene of colour.

"Oh~ we're here!" Milla said as she pulled him towards that archway of flowers faster.

"Tsk... those annoying women are on duty," Delphine whispered as she moved closer, almost clinging to the back of Vincent as they approached the two knights on guard, both females with brown hair and almond eyes.

"You can't enter, Captain." The female knight's eyes were dull and emotionless, almost robotic, causing Vincent to shiver as he stared at her, seeing her armour and insignia.

"It's almost curfew; you must leave, Captain."

"Eh~ it's not that late; let me through, or I'll beat you," Milla replied with a joke, the bodies of both girls shuddering as if they already experienced this many times.

"But Lady Amira..."

"Ah, that old hag just needs to get laid, and it'll be fine..." 

"Gufu!?" Vincent almost vomited blood as he heard the name of one of his lovers being called old hag by his sister, seriously hoping she could not hear it.

But his dreams were short lives.

"Oh?" A sensual female voice sounded as a beautiful woman emerged from the darkness.

"So I'm an old hag that needs to get laid... Hmmmm" Amira smiled like a serpent eyeing her prey while Milla stood with a dazed glace.

"Eh!? Why is your skin so luscious... no way! Did you pay a male prostitute--"

Bang!

Milla's body was sent flying into the distance, the slight pull hurting Vincent's arm a little, before Delphine quickly snatched the opening, wrapping her beasts around his arm with a smug grin.

"It's you..." Amira whispered as she saw Vincent, her face showing a shy look, playing with her hands.

"Oh? You know each other?" Raizel asked while Delphina and the returning Milla looked interested in the answer.

Vincent didn't want to hide it, so he just spoke. "She's my woman; we met while drinking and had sex."

"Haha... You always tell it like that..." Amira laughed with a light blush on her face.

"But it's true; I'm not ashamed."

"Hah~ I don't know if I should be happy. What if Odette finds out..."

"But you have changed..." Vincent whispered; the previous beauty she once had faded, now replaced by a mature beauty with a slight hint of age.

"You look more beautiful than two days ago." He whispered, causing Milla to cover her ears and pull a look of despair, while Delphine just listened silently with a look of indifference, but her tail was slapping the ground with anger.

"You, too, are quite different. You seemed a little immature and overstretched before... but now I don't feel like it," Amira said as she walked closer, almost touching his face as she leaned in close. "I find you much more appealing now~ so come to my room tonight?"

"Mmm~ it's not fair that only the two of you are close~" Milla mumbled as she clung to his arm, almost making a move until Raizel pulled her away from his arm with her fox tails.

Vincent let the girl clinging to him as Delphine and Raizel refused to move; she was forced to hug his back; he could feel her little teeth biting him out of anger or maybe frustration.

Suddenly he felt like Amira was a little more forward than before, as she openly showed her jealousy towards the women around him, especially the one who matched her height, figure and looks closest... Delphine.

"Ah... sorry... I forgot your name..." Amira said while staring at Delphine with a blank face.

"Tsk... My name is Delphine."

"Oh, my bad... anyway, are you a new knight? Your clothes are pretty nice; I never knew such a lovely lady was in our group."

"I'm not a stupid knight, old woman."

The two faced each other, almost like beams were coming from each other's eyes before a woman's presence seemed to end everything like a sudden pacifist aura swarmed over their bodies.

A woman stepped forward; beautiful brown skin, her luscious emerald eyes, and her tight abs attracted Vincent's eyes as her ample breasts shook under her leather armour with each step.

"Oh, Milla, Vincent, where is your greeting for your mother?" Verda asked with a sly smirk.
