>"I smell him!" Inaba shouts. "Andreas! Not dead!" she says, excitedly pointing to the north. "Reinhold, we help him and then save Luciana together!"


"Andreas!?" Takamaru gasps. "He survived!?"
"Yes!" Inaba says while jumping up and down frantically. "I smell him that way!" she continues pointing north.
"...who is this person who you two are so excited about?" Niklaus asks.
"Elena's bodyguard," you reply. "We thought he was killed by Leopold, but-"
"He alive!" Inaba shouts. "Come on!"

>>38208281
>>38208487
Valerie ends up tall like her father, but with the small bust that tends to run in the Granache family. Tends to wear her hair up in a loose bun.

Racquel ends up around the same size as Sylvie, both height and bust-wise. Nowhere nearly as stronk, though.


I worked out what the younger cast will look like long ago...

>>38208530
>>38208534
That'd be kinda cute if Valerie looked up to Citrine and took after her stylings in her teens. A bit random but still, cute.

Tall like her father as in taller than average, or tall like her father as in literally as tall as Vincent?

>>38208682
Six feet.

>>38208682
She is literally just Vincent minus the beard and plus the boobs.

>>38208651
The Valerie one might be a pretty decent scale if she becomes Vincent HUEG.

>>38208651
I know.

"That way, right?" you ask, pointing in the same direction as the bunnygirl.
"Yes!" Inaba shouts. "We go now!"
"Turn back into a rabbit and I'll carry you there myself."
"Okay!"

Inaba does as you tell her, transforming into her smaller rabbit self. ONce she jumps into your arms, you start running... though this time it's not towards Luciana.

But you figure that you'll need all the help you can.


>[1/?]

>>38208716
Will Valerie and Nicolette eventually be able to pretend they're tall, flat twins if they both dye their hair the same color?

>>38208770
Nope.

>>38208779
Awww. Why not?

>>38208779
How tall is Guillaume going to be?

>>38208755
I've always wondered, why do you always split your posts up so much? You're nowhere near the character limit

>>38208835
Typing speed, I guess. And there's always the potential of a spelling error which leads to "BURN IT ALL DOWN".

>>38208828
Probably not too tall.
Greg's only 6' himself and Ara Ara is normal sized, so unless Nicholas was a big guy or something, Guillame probably won't be monster tall.

>>38208913
Just wondering. Could be that Valerie's into short(er) people considering both his and Elena's heights.

>>38208975
>Inaba was right about having caught Inaba's scent.

>>38208835
I type slow, and at least this way you have something to read while I go.

Otherwise, it's just a LONG wait in between story posts.

>>38208948
Well is Valerie tall now or will her tallness come about during a difficult puberty?
Elena's shorter than her because she's 4 years younger than Val but Guillame could easily be taller than her right now.

>>38208975
I thought people couldn't smell themselves?

i sry turtle

>>38208975

>>38208755

After a few minutes of running, you start to wonder if Inaba was right about having caught Andreas's scent. While you do realize that you're running upwind, getting sidetracked for too long runs the risk of getting thrown off Luciana's trail and that would just...

...you're not about to let that happen.

"I see something," Takamaru says to you in a hushed tone. "Just ahead."
"...a battlefield?" Niklaus starts to slow down when he sees what lies before you.

A massive shell of rock that looks like it just erupted from the ground itself, at least as large as the old army barracks where you used to live. It seems as if something erupted from out of it, and you see scattered fragments of stone lying about...


>[2/3]

>>38208997
>Well is Valerie tall now or will her tallness come about during a difficult puberty?
Valerie is relatively tall compared to the others.

>Elena's shorter than her because she's 4 years younger than Val but Guillame could easily be taller than her right now.
Remember that girls hit their growth spurts first, and tend to be taller than boys their age until around 10-12.

>>38209014
...Did Leo just entomb Andreas in the biggest damn rock he could make and leave him to suffocate or something? Then he broke open a hole just before passing out?

>>38209014
Using the word "erupted" in consecutive sentences is a no-no but otherwise...
HYPE!

Hey arch on the single route will any of the girls show interest in Rein like Sylvie and Luci did except he rejects them or will there be no romantic interaction at all?

>>38209063
Well...no one said capturing one of the most powerful humans was going to be easy...or very smart to try.

...and among those huge fragments of stone that lie at the base of the dome, you see several men fighting. Six who you don't recognize, though their matching armor suggests that they're on the same side, and three others... not counting the dozen corpses that litter the ground.

With his back towards the dome, you recognize Anatole. Clutching an arm that seems to be broken, he hides behind Monique, who seems to be taking a defensive position.

The third among them appears to be off doing his own thing, however... he's in the middle of the remaining attackers, hacking away at them with a sword that appears to be glowing.

"Andreas!" Takamaru gasps.

>>38209058

It's more around those years than until those years.
Boys are bigger for the first 5 or so years, then boys and girls are the same until about 8-12, where girls are taller, then hormones happen in boys around 13-14 and they all sprout the fuck up overnight faster than their brains can handle it and end up knocking shit over because they underestimate just how much longer their arms and legs are than yesterday.

Holy shit, and people kept saying HE was the petty one.

Personal feelings can take a back seat for ten fucking minutes in favor of being glad to see three living people out there who aren't actively trying to murder us.

>>38209419
That is a good idea, but save that for when we kill Leo.

>>38209419
I kinda want Inaba to stay bunny form. Then, 3 (30) threads from now when we finally fight Leo, she transforms at the final moment to land a surprise punch.

Andreas: WTF!?
Oh, you didn't know? Inaba's been doing that for years while you weren't around.

>>38209389
>Why must you remind me of my errors anon?
Your errors are now a magic spell. Mistakes into miracles, quite literally.

>>38209530

I agree.

It's girlfriend saving time, we can be a dick to our rival when we killed Leopold

>>38209436
REINER.. KIIIIIIICK!

>>38209540
The notions that Inaba won't by crying hysterically into Andreas chest and hugging him bear-crushingly tight while he whinces about not even knowing this kid and not being able to breathe, the very nanosecond she gets the chance is a very silly one indeed.

Bi-monthly reminder that Monique is a pretty cool guy and has done absolutely nothing wrong.

>>38209525
I know I'm a little late, but can we see slave collars on anyone?

>>38209497
So your solution to that is to come off as a bigger dick than Monique.

Seems legit.

>>38209631
It's too far away to see, but I'll just say now that there aren't any.

>>38209624
I agree that we shouldn't be a dick to him but he is still a douche.

>>38209530
While you're right, I'd still like to clarify that Monique is a huge, shitting cunt and fuck him. While I hope he doesn't die on this mission, I do hope that somebody casts Eternal Baldness on him, preferably us.

>>38209647
Fair enough.

>>38209624
I think, honestly, the only time he's been truly out of line was when we fought him and he fucked our sword up.

People might say he was a dick to Nico, but let's be honest, Nico's pretty aggressive herself and would seem to have hardly put that much effort towards being on good terms with him, so their poor relationship is both their faults rather than Monique being an asshole all on his own.

>>38209691
>the only time he's been truly out of line was when we fought him and he fucked our sword up.
We fucked up his sword first.

>>38209678
>Monique is a huge, shitting cunt
And we're not?

Let's put it this way: Monique would never do what we did to Sylvie.

We WOULD do what Monique did to our sword.

>>38209691

I don't see how that justifies Monique insulting Ara Ara.

>>38209691
I can't recall Nico behaving that way to anyone. Even when she was super mad at Marianne she wasn't a bitch to her. When has this happened?

>>38209712
Not our fault that he had a shitty sword.

>>38209712
Not on purpose, anyway he said he didn't care anymore plus we tried to apologize but he was still a dick about it.

>>38209691
Nico hasn't made any other enemies than Monique. I'm putting the blame on their bad relationship down entirely to Monique based on what we've seen.

>>38209712
Oh, I know, but we didn't gloat, that's more what I'm referring to. We smashed it as a byproduct, and he intentionally did so to hurt us. That's really all I can think of in terms of Monique being a massive dick. But then again, as stated >>38209715 we would do the exact same thing if the roles were reversed.

>>38209691
>>38209624
>>38209530

He's an honorless cheating fuck and insulted the Ara Ara.

>>38209715
We broke his sword accidentally and apologized, he broke ours purposefully, while cheating in a duel of honor that he initiated and gloated about it.

>>38209797

Ditto

>>38209811
And we would do the exact same thing. Don't kid yourself. /tg/ is just as much of a petty asshole as Monique is.

>>38209797
He didn't cheat though, everything about the duel was aboveboard.

We can be a colossal dick at times. This is true. I'm really looking forward to the VN where hopefully Reinhold won't be such an insensitive prick all the time because of our crappy influence.

Monique was dick without our input. He did that all on his own.

He's surrounded by those men... probably more of those mercenaries from before, if Leopold's cover story wasn't entirely full of shit. But in any event, he's alive and you intend to make sure that he stays that way.

After letting Inaba hop to the ground, you start running down towards the scene of the battle...

"I shed this frail husk, biding my time so that I may be reborn within a rocky hide!" you chant. "Stone Body!"

Though in your case it's more like "steel body." Though your steps are heavier, you continue running and gaining momentum, and casting Tailwind certainly does a world of improvement to your running speed.

Technically, he wasn't cheating.

>>38209829
Having a sealed king hold your ribs together isn't cheating in the same way that changing electoral districts after the votes are in isn't fraud.

>>38209774
He insulted Nicolette's Mom, that was a douche move. He called us a whoreson, that was a douche move. He's also a condescending fop who thinks he's better than everybody, that's like a thousand mini douchemoves a day.

>>38209829
Wasn't that exception carved out for one, now long dead, geriatric swordsman who flatout couldn't compete anymore without the aid of his sealed king?

>>38209829
Yes he did. The 'rule' he was quoting was to allow the sealed king to fight with his body as they don't have one themselves. He used it as an excuse to use her power to be able to withstand blows he wouldn't have been able to take without her help. aka cheating.

>>38209852

>>38209827
I don't think /tg/ would cheat in an honor duel, we're too shonen minded for that. Hell, reread the duel, we think we can win on heart alone so why would we ever touch steroids?

>>38209859
Be fair. It's more like the redistricting is taking place in secret while the votes are being cast.

>>38209925
I think that scenario happened in Venezuela a while back.

>>38209891

I consider it a wash. He got the crap kicked out of him worse then Reinhold did. Then he got the fear of Gregory put into him.

>>38209925
It's more like the redistricting already happened eight hundred years ago, but nobody really bothers to look at the gerrymandered clusterfuck of a map anymore since the technicalities practically never end up mattering.

Also this analogy is getting pretty thin.

>>38209936
No, actually, it was that they redistricted right before the election, getting 48% of the popular vote, but 60%+ of the seats.

>>38209829
I don't remember the specific rule but it was something about only being allowed to use direct attacks.
He altered the environment of the arena to try and impede us and used healing magic to withstand blows that would have given us the advantage, neither of those were direct attacks and therefore both acts of cheating.

"Ephemeris Edge!" Andreas shouts as his sword once again regains its gleaming luster just in time to cleave a mercenary in twain. Though his spell is still as effective as always, the heavy armor that these men are wearing has the annoying effect of costing him half a sword's worth of coating with every swing that connects.

Pulling his sword from the fallen corpse, Andreas contorts his entire body in order to avoid what would have likely been a fatal stab to his side.

"Guardian Sign!" he shouts as a small portion of the stardust that's wafting through this scene of carnage flickers into the form of a shield that blocks another potentially deadly blow.

While Andreas's mastery of his primary combat spell has taken him this far, constant usage of Guardian Sign is preventing him from finally ending this battle. And with Monique protecting the injured Anatole, he's not sure if he'll be able to hold out forever...

He wasn't allowed to heal himself.

What Monique did is kick off a new obsession with rules lawyering duels in Marconeti...

No, because it wasn't a loophole, it was a direct violation of the rules.

>>38210259
It wasn't a loop hole. He cheated.

The reason he walked away from it was sudden gain in political clout. Celestino would rather have the sealed king/victor/swordsmen than that guy who cheated.

>>38210081
>[3/3]

The unsuspecting mercenary who you just trampled underfoot served as something of a speedbump, and you find yourself skidding to a halt right next to Andreas.

"The hell!?" Andreas shouts. "Who the- REINHOLD!?"
"That's right!" you shout as you block an oncoming sword with your metal forearm.

Clearly afraid thanks to the appearance of a new unknown opponent, the remaining four mercenaries back away from you and Andreas...

No time to interrogate Reinhold is in angry mode.

And we could also, y'know, ask the 3 allies (+Monique) we got here stuff. They're prolly more willing to talk to us.

>>38210270
...If that were true Monique wouldn't have been knighted. Even in Marconetti cheaters that get caught are not given public accolades for their cheating. Celestine would have still offered him a job and probably nobility for being a capable fighter with a sealed king, but not knighthood.

Let the other question him, as we go forward to save Luci.

>>38210305
>no time for that, kill them all and get back on luciana's trail
Extreme prejudice.

>>38210369
There's always one naysayer.

>>38210358
The knighthood was a way of securing his loyalty and his supersword.
Celestino was about to give him Luciana for fuck's sake, he wanted that sealed king bad.

>>38210305
>no time for that, kill them all and get back on luciana's trail

>>38210361
That would be great

This quest really needs more suffering of the permanent kind

>>38210358
The thing was that there was an exception because of sealed kings. Since the Elemental that 'invented' dueling got sealed, it was made legal to fight in possession mode.

It's still dishonorable as fuck and was only meant to fight against others in possession mode.

>>38210366
W.W.G.D.?

Rend the entire country down to the smallest child?

I voted kill them, but I'm not entirely without mercy. I mean, if one drops his weapon and surrenders, no need to slit his throat anyway.
We won't be taking all three of the knights with us in any case, they can take prisoners to Granache castle. But yeah, not doing anything to waste anymore time at this point.

>>38210358
Monique was already a noble and looking at how useless his knights seem to be I wouldn't put the rest past King shadowruns

And now we have him for a father in law.

We might not have expected it but when he challenges you to a gentlemanly duel of honor to restore his honor, he's still a massive asshole when he cheats and then gloats about how he's so much better than you when he's cheating.

>>38210482

For what purpose? Questioning?

These are mercenaries so they most likely known nothing.

>>38210511

So that we can take him back to the Marconetti dungeon as a friend for Clemens Daimler.

"Kill," you reply, lunging towards the nearest mercenary. His sword clangs harmlessly against your metallic skin as you grab his face and drive your sword right through his heart.

And then for added measure, you will your sword to go serrated on the way back out just in case.

"Th... the fuck!?" one of the men shrieks. "Marconetti hired the Steel Knight!?"
"No," you growl. "Reinhold Eschenwald."

No mercy.

>Everyone just assumes that someone using steel body is THE steel knight.
Is steel body just a really shit spell that no one uses other then that one guy? It seems like such a massive improvement over stone body that it should always be used in it's place. It doesn't seem like it would be that rare a spell.

>>38211074
It's not a different spell; it's just what happens when you use Stone Body with a Metal affinity.

>>38211074
It's not a specific spell. It's stone body that gets altered because our magic affinity is metal.

>>38210880
>[2/2]

You give them no quarter, and neither does Andreas. And within minutes, all three men end up joining the assortment of dismembered bodyparts that litter the ground. After checking in all directions for any more potential survivors, you step away from the carnage and join Monique and Anatole beside the stone dome.

"Thanks for the save," Andreas says, flashing a weary smile. "I was getting kind of worried there... huh?"

Andreas looks off in the distance at your approaching party.

"They're with me," you say to him.
"...oh, that figures," Andreas replies. "There's Takamaru, and-"
"ANDREAS!!!!"

Going at full speed, Inaba races towards Andreas and hits him with a tackle hig.

"You not dead!" Inaba cries. "I was worried but you... you..." she sniffles.
"Uh..." Andreas looks down at the stranger who's hugging him like he's an old friend. "...who is this?"
