>Yuuki! I always admired how much better ye were at this hero thing than I was!

>>38949897
>Erm, Tuile! You wanted to do this right? This'll be quick and easy!

>>38949897
>>Erm, Tuile! You wanted to do this right? This'll be quick and easy!

Huh, I actually am in time to post for once?

Really hope Tuile wins; she's the best fluffy tails girl.

>>38949897
>M-Madeleine! You're a loyal shiphand, and a good cook to boot!
Truly Jack is the most unlucky luckiest bastard right now

>>38949897
>"Okay, we're gonna do this the right way, with straws!"

Yuuki better at heroing than us?
What?

We're a swashbuckling badass, can't get more heroic than that!

>>38950113
Atsuko might win then.

>>38949897
>M-Madeleine! You're a loyal shiphand, and a good cook to boot!

>>38950078
Plus she's actually been trying recently, I think she deserves a reward.

Err, wouldn't Madeleine, with the mushrooms, be really obviously not fitting as a decoy?

>>38950173
Does she even still have them though? There was no mention of any there when she showed the ring

>>38950201
I think she does; it wasn't cleared up with just a single visit to the (monster-infested) beach.

>>38949897
>"Okay, we're gonna do this the right way, with straws!"

>>38950264
>>38950113
Dammit guys do you WANT to risk Atsuko winning this?

Aww, no more people want to go with Tuile?
Come on, she's great, it'd be hilarious seeing her embarrassed.

>>38950215
Well, wouldn't having them still help with distracting then? I mean, Madeleine already seems like a rare girl in these lands, if her being the lone snake lass seen yet is an indication. So it seems more exotic. Eye catching if you would.

>>38950312
Honestly, I like Tulie and Madelein here. I don't think asking for both would work though...

>>38950201
Here, Jack thinks it'd take a couple more visits to the beach to fix her up.
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/36529233/#p36536021

>>38950330
If you went with Tulie we'd have 3 votes, so we'd be ahead, if that'd matter any?

>>38950313
I thought the plan was for us to just be these random people so that this marriage stuff looked completely ordinary so the princess could sneak through a wedding and take over?

I'm giving this vote extra time on purpose. No rush today!

I'll give it maybe 10 minutes more

>>38950330
If you change Tuile can win with 3 votes to the other's 2.
So... please?

>>38949897
Yay, I'm in time to see Jack crash all these maiden hearts. With no survivors.

>Erm, Tuile! You wanted to do this right? This'll be quick and easy!

>>38950522
I'm personally looking forward to what shenanigans we'll be getting.

>>38950466
Sorry, but I just want Madelein here more. Tulie has had a lot of screen time of late anyway.

I really hope this isn't some route locking in any event.

>>38949897
>>M-Madeleine! You're a loyal shiphand, and a good cook to boot!
snake butt best butt.

>>38949897
>Atsuko! It'll definitely make explaining why we sleep in the same room easier!

>>38949897
>Erm, Tuile! You wanted to do this right? This'll be quick and easy!

>>38950554
Well, fair enough.

>>38949897
>>M-Madeleine! You're a loyal shiphand, and a good cook to boot!
Snake a best

>>38950658
Vote's over, I think; Tuile won.

if only we could have both, walking down the Isle in dresses together, flanking us at the alter.

So this magic stuff...
Is there a possibility of learning it so we could pet many more times fluffy tails?

>>38950697
That would probably raise suspicions a good bit too much.
Gotta be sneaky here.

>>38950554
Please rest assured. This is just silliness and not a routelock. I think those are silly anyway.

>>38950734
So how flustered will Tuile be?

>>38950722
Oh I know. I just like the thought of it happening down the road

>Tuile!

Hmm, Madeleine seems awfully interested.

>writing!

>>38950734
Alright. Thanks for clarifying. Long as I get Madeleine shinanagins later, I'll be fine

>>38950768
Your end goal would be Jack with Tuile and Madeleine then?

Why no love for Yuuki...

>>38950872
She has no fluffy tails.
Also the poor rabbit princess shouldn't lose the one that's petting her.

So I'd just like to say, I'm so very happy that I actually get to be here when the Quest actually happens.

>>38950983
If this many people read it at this time, maybe I should start all the threads this early.

>>38950872
I just don't really see Yuuki as a suitable LI for Jack and I don't feel like they have the chemistry that would make this scene as amusing as possible.

>>38951030
I'd be fine with that, personally.
Works out pretty well for me, at about 6 PM.

>>38950872
Yuuki is a bro. You don't marry your bro unless it's a life and death situation and all other options have been attempted.

Damn I'm too late, I was going to go with straws because that seemed like it'd be the most funny option

You put your hand forward and gently stroke the chestnut colored hair of the girl who came up with this idea.

"Lass.." You say, trying to lessen the blow "You know this isn't for real, right? I'm glad ye went and got lots of candidates , but ye didn't need to go through all of this."

Her gaze turns downward "I-I know that. I just.."
Your fingers run through her hair, gently rubbing at the tips of her ears.
"It's okay Tuile." You smile, "You can be my bride."

She nearly drops her tiny ring. You neatly catch it before it falls off into the mud and results in a mass panic trying to find it.

"Tuile, Madeleine, Atsuko, Yuuki." You take the tiny ring and slip it onto Tuile's finger. "You're all going to make wonderful brides someday."

Yuuki blushes intensely and immediately looks the opposite direction, Atsuko emits a huff and closes her ring box. Madeleine retracts her tail and snatches her ring from the end of it.
"I'm glad that was fast, at least." Atsuko dusts her hands off.
"I-I'm really happy for you two!" Yuuki smiles in that manner that only she can.

"Hmph." Madeleine crosses her arms.
"Eh?" You look at her with confusion, "Madeleine, ye not need to be upset, it's-"

She laughs, "I know, I know. Not for real." She giggles. "But I think it's a little premature to say who the bride will be."

"Err." You realize this might be trouble. "It's really not that-"
"No no, it's fine!" She waves you off. "I was just saying, it hasn't happened yet. That's all." She smiles.

She turns and slithers away, "Ladies, you can keep the rings. They'll really look good on you in the future."

Tuile doesn't even constrain herself, she jumps forward and wraps her arms around your waist.
"Jack Jack Jack! This is gonna be so great! I can't believe this is happening!"
"Err." You put your hand up to her nose. "Pretend, Lass. It's pretend-happening."
She bluses profusely, "Oh! Right. right."

Gently, she caresses the ring on her finger as she walks back to her wagon.

>Cont.

I don't think I like this.

What, no touching fluffy tail while it's easily in reach?

>>38951508
>"Hmph." Madeleine crosses her arms.
>"Eh?" You look at her with confusion, "Madeleine, ye not need to be upset, it's-"
>She laughs, "I know, I know. Not for real." She giggles. "But I think it's a little premature to say who the bride will be."
Oh. It seems we have created a rivalry.
I can't say whether that is a good thing or not.

You dust off your hands as you admire your remarkable ability to escape from situations that should normally be fatal.

That was close.

You remember when your ship was docked at one of the roughest towns you could remember. The entire time when you stepped off the gangplank, you could hear musket shots in the distance. Several times a musketball would crack straight by your head, shot by an unknown assailant.

Your heart was not pounding as furiously then as it is right now.
You seriously feel like you need to sit down for a few minutes, maybe hours, or perhaps days. You almost trip over yourself and collapse into the mud before Cody comes by and rights you.

"'Hold up Jack." He grabs you by the shoulder. "You ain't sleeping yet."

He walks with you a little ways before turning around and making sure no one can hear him.
"That was damn smooth, partner."
"Aye try."
"Tsh." He lets you go to walk on your own, "Damn smooth but dangerous as hell. Maybe you really do need a woman to keep you in line."

"Ayyye don't think I'll be doin' that yet." You reach for the flask in your pocket, "What's new?"

"Was gonna go with Yuuki and the maid, try to explain to the girls what is happenin' tomorrow. You interested in comin' along?"

>>38951859
Yes. The fake bride vote.

That wasn't what she was hinting at though.

I interpreted that as Madeleine planning to get more aggressive to try and become Jacks real bride

"Sure, fine." You say, taking another drink from your flask. "Anything is fine to get me the hell out of here."
"I hear that. "

Yuuki is waiting just up the road with the head maid. She appears to be completely unphased with the horribly awkward situation that just transpired and is instead completely focused on her mission.

Of course, her mission this time is far more awkward than merely asking to marry you. Which may seem a little embarrassing, it's still something that a grown woman should be asking a man. This time her job is to do something that you're not sure you should leave entirely to her.

You're going to explain to the lasses what exactly they're doing tomorrow, what your plans are, and most awkwardly; what getting married means.

You take another drink from your flask. Yuuki turns to look at you.

"So, how should I go about this?"

>"Why're ye asking me?"
>"I dunno, just.. err.. don't be too graphic."
>"Lay it on them straight. Keepin' secrets doesn't help anyone here."

This just seems like something he'd say

Looking forward to "you may kiss the bride".

Really think we should at least try and be somewhat gentle when this is revealed.

>>38952313

Everyone, now I drive home.

Posting will resume when I'm back. Which should be 1-2 hours. See you soon!

>"Lay it on them straight. Keepin' secrets doesn't help anyone here."

>>38952346
The funny thing is that out of all the girls, we picked the one who has the least idea of what a wedding entails.

>>38952680
I want to see Tuile's reaction to everything.

Inb4 Tuile expects a honeymoon.

>>38952776
Without knowing what it is, of course.

>>38952776
>>38952797
This would be hilarious.

>>38952680
Which is why we picked her of course! Maximum fluster.

>>38952776
inb4 she expects consummation

>>38952797
>Jack convinces her that "honeymoon" implies moon-viewing while drinking mead

>>38953057
That would not be bad, honestly.

>>38953057
and touching each others tails.

>>38953020
Exactly.
It's gonna be great.

>>38953078
As we don't have a tail we'll just have to touch hers enough to make up for the both of us.

>Believing there will be a honeymoon for this fake wedding
kek. If anything, going back to Biscotti for more than 2 days would be considered a vacation spot for Jack.

>>38953275
Not like the honeymoon has to be literally the day after the wedding.

And there wouldn't have to be one for her to think there should / would be one.

>>38953317
>Not like the honeymoon has to be literally the day after the wedding.
unlike the wedding night

>>38953528
I don't think Tuile's pure heart could handle the wedding night

Rolled 2 (1d2)

I am home.
Tie between not being graphic and giving it to them straight, rolling for it.

1. Don't be too graphic
2. Give it to them straight

I'm glad people are thinking about wedding shenanigans, keep those good ideas in mind!

"Yar Yuuki, the way I see it all ye have to do is not be too graphic."
"Graphic?" She seems confused by the way you worded that.

"Yar, Don't give 'em the details of what married couples would actually DO. I mean."

"Oh." She thinks about what you said for a minute, "I don't think they would understand even if I told them."
"True that might be Lass, but don't risk it. The last thing we want to do is give either of them cold feet. Aye don't want them thinking that this is a bigger deal than it actually is."

Thinking back on it, their maybe-real wedding is probably less legitimate than YOUR phony wedding. So it's not like it's something you have to worry about too much.

Yuuki picks up the head maid gently and leaps toward the Princess' window, Cody and you follow suit while the guards have their attention turned elsewhere.

- -

You don't like what you see in this little girl's room. It really does look like she's been neglected.
You've heard of nobility before starving their next of kin in order to buy time for themselves in power. It's not really something you think is very widespread, because someone can only be old for so long.
But then you realize something: If what Atsuko told you some time back is accurate, people live much longer here than they do back home.
Still, it's a cruel thing to do to a child. You can never say that you understand how the rich think. Usually you only get to see them when they've been parted with their valuables.

The room is a disaster. While it's clear that she's at least been fed, you're not entirely sure how much contact she has had in her life. In her tiny bed, with a much-more lively looking hero draped over her, are two tiny eyes glaring at you from the darkness. They peer at you as if you're not anything she's ever seen before.

She tries to sit up, but is being weighed down by tight grip of the tan-skinned hero who is fast asleep.


>Cont.

>>38955271
Aligot has cockblocked himself; I've given up on him

>>38955348
A single dropped dice roll is hardly justification for stealing a bro's crush.

>>38955242
Do you mean Fritelli?

>>38955276
Well yeah, I'd prefer just Tuile but eh.

>>38955410
He has fucked up beyond the fight against that monster, though.
And IIRC the thread where the main character was Carmille didn't exactly give him a ringing endorsement.
At some point, you just gotta face fact; he's not gonna get with her.

>>38955233
>>38955230
But I don't want to, any guys beyond just Jack is a bad thing far as this goes.

>>38955438
No no, the knight had blue hair. Helped us back when there was a 1 on a magic roll that went really bad.

I just can't recall the name currently.

>>38955485
actually i believed she said if he grew a spine she would be interested.

>>38955438

I don't visit this Quest often, but I think I'd prefer Madeleine

>>38955522
Noel

She's still in the caravan, along with another knight that I forgot if I introduced.

>>38955534
Yeah and I'm sure pigs will learn to fly.

>>38955485
Oh give him a chance, or at least another roll of the dice to get her attention. And if I recall that thread correctly, Camille wasn't all that interested in Jack either at the time. Wonder what has changed that, now that I think about it.

>>38955547
Thank you Announcer.

>>38955547
So where is that character pastebin?

>>38955563
Flying pigs are a thing in this setting, I think.

>>38955537
Honestly the big advantage Tulie has over Madeleine, for me, is that she's got a fluffy tail.
This is a Dog Days Quest, after all and we've seen how Jack gets near fluffy tails.

Other than that they're both good.

I'll do it this weekend.

Which is what I've told myself for roughly every week since I said I would do it.

Uh, just go with something else that means "extremely unlikely to happen" I guess?

>>38955563
if you remember when we took control of the skyship during the storm he did man up.

>>38955602
Please, Jack has proven himself just as weak to scaley tails as well.

Frankly I don't want anything like that between two dudes.

>>38955626
"When Jack thinks that drinking won't be a good idea."

>>38955608
I'm pretty sure Jack isn't gay anon.

>>38955564
Jack has been doing some pretty impressive shit since that happened, to be fair.
Saving people and all that.
Plus she might just enjoy fucking with him

>>38955670
It doesn't matter as long as he wears a dress. Am I referring to Jack or Aligot? Yes.

>>38955652
Flawless, good sir.

>>38955670
He's a sailor. Every sailor get's desperate enough to do a bit of switch hitting every now and again, historical fact.

>>38955683
Aye, that be true, Camille does seem to enjoy messing with Jack like that, she's still buying drinks on his tab after all.

>>38955724
Why would he be desperate here with all the female tails he could want?

>>38955602
>This is a Dog Days Quest, after all and we've seen how Jack gets near fluffy tails.
It's not like he doesn't like Madeleine's tail. She actually punished him several times for getting too frivolous with his hands.

>>38955670
This.

>>38955602
Eh. Fluffy tails are so common here you can get it anywhere. Scale tail though? Now that's the rare good stuff.

This really begs the question though, and I can't recall there being anything on it, but do lamai have a country of their own or are they small in numbers and live scattered around the place?

>>38955756
Because at the end of the day, a fluffy tail is a fluffy tail.

She manages to lift her head up, even with the pair of arms around her neck, as the head maid approaches her.

"Ms. Clair?" She gently slumps back into the pillow, "Why are you here? Did you bring Kayda back?"

The head maid sits down on the bed, gently stroking her hair.
"No sweetie, you have these three here to thank for that. Go on, say thank you."
"T-thanks." She seems to slink down into the blankets more and more. She doesn't seem to appreciate the extra attention.

Yuuki steps forward, sitting on the bed herself.
"It's good to meet you, I'm Yuuki, what's your name?"
"Greta.." She seems to whisper, "Is it okay for you to be in here? I thought Ms. Clair said-"

"It's fine." The head maid seems to smile in the darkness.

Yuuki points to the unconscious hero still gripping onto the princess, "What did you say her name was? We've been good friends ever since I met her."
"It's Kayda." She hugs the hero back tightly, "Her name is really long, so she told me to just call her that."

"That's fine, it's a cute name." Yuuki moves her hand silently through her hair. "Do you know why we're here?"
"Nnn." She slinks into the blankets again.

"You and Kayda are gonna be married tomorrow and we're here to help out. You know what that means?"
"Mm nn."

"It means you get to sleep in the same bed, every night!" Yuuki smiles.
"Um.. really?"
"It does! And you'll be friends! Best friends forever!"

Errr.

Greta seems confused, "But she's already my best friend and we sleep in the same bed, what's different?"

I believe so.

I believe she said she was interested in men WITH spines, not that IF he got a spine.

We tried to help him, he fucked up 5-6 times WITH our help, not to mention the countless times he has fucked up on his own.

Not to mention the more relevant fact that camille isn't even interested in him so it's not even NTR.

I'm all for taking Camille.

>>38956039
Who would be able to send a hero away if they don't want to, anyway?
Especially a hero who could count on backup from several other heroes.

>>38956111
Greta's father and cousin I believe. Remember, the whole reason this 'wedding' is happening is to get them out of power

>>38956147
Pretty much yeah

>>38956105
Camille wasn't interested in Jack either until recently, there's nothing preventing Aligot from hardening up a bit and catching her eye.

Sides, we're pretty much drowning in fluffy tails right now as it is, no good reason to hold off and going after her for the time being.

>>38955926
>>Interject

"Well, like this it's not going to change, kid."

>>38955993

Do you think it's possible it becomes genuine in a few years?

>>38956251
Kinda doubt it.

>Let Yuuki handle it
>Drink
>Interject

Writing!

>>38956225
The other guy's got a point, though; Aligot's had plenty of opportunities to show his mettle and nothing's come from it.

>>38955980
Ah, sorry.

>>38956402
Look, what we need to do is teach the lad mettle. By showing him the proper technique for touching fluffy tails. Because that's clearly a part of why all the ladies are swooning for Jack.

>>38955242
Isn't it sad, Atsuko?

>>38956651
I'm pretty sure they love him because he's a swashbuckling superhuman badass who can actually be surprisingly nice.

>>38956651
They do seem to enjoy a guy whose a bit more forward than most.

>>38956651
Or just stop playing matchmaker for Aligot, we tried to help him already and we made absolutely zero progress.

Who knows, maybe he grows some guts if we start taking Camille away from him. Fuck no, he has the spine of a fucking slug, he would just go cry somewhere and be passive aggressive towards us.

Anyways, I really like Camille because she appears to be the most normal of the girls.

So how long can people live in this world anyway?

>>38956745
Maybe we should romance him in front of the girls. That might make him grow a spine.

>>38956745
>Camille because she appears to be the most normal of the girls.

What the fuck kind of behavior do you regard as 'normal' in an average female anon?

Nah, this seems a little weird where it's going, and you're not going to lie that you're more than a little uncomfortable. It's still something that you trust Yuuki can do with the utmost confidence. It's just something she has to work into, that's all.

Gently you reach into your coatpocket and pull out your reserve. It's good to have this sort of thing around when you want to keep yourself from saying something silly.

Yuuki, however, doesn't let up. She persists with her reasoning.
"Well, you see." She stops and thinks about it for a moment. "This isn't just being a friend friend, this is being a special friend. When you're married, you're with that special friend forever. No one can take them away from you."

Her eyes perk up at that,
"Really? No one?"
"Yep! She'll be with you forever!"

That's a good job, Yuuki.
"But.. Are you saying she wouldn't be with me forever otherwise? Why?!"

Uh oh.
"No no! That's not what I'm saying. It's just-" Yuuki thinks about her words carefully.
You take another drink.
"-It's just that you two would be connected by an inseparable bond."
"We're not now? She's my hero!"
"No it's just-"

You take another drink, but stop yourself when you think of something.
"Ey little lass, If ye get married to her, the mean men can't send her away anymore."

THAT gets her attention.
"R-really? Not even Dad?!"
"Nope!" Yuuki happily exclaims. "She's yours forever, so he couldn't tell her to do that!"

"That's-!"

She picks up her hero and leans her upright. You can tell she looks almost as good as new.
"We'll do it! We'll get married! Where do we start!?"
"Tomorrow!" The head maid replies, with a smile.

"I can't wait! Can you?"
"Nnngnmn" Is all that Kayda replies with.

>Our work here is done.
>Ask someone something before you go
>>Like why did she get a hero?
>>Maybe the head maid is a better person to ask in private.
>Leave them with the heroes, you want sleep.
>Or booze
>Other?

Everyone, I was REALLY HOPING TO GET TO THE WEDDING TODAY.

But sadly, connection issues have plagued me all night. Not having stable internet sucks. We'll have to do the wedding next thread, that I hope to start early.

A couple more updates before I call it a night, though.

>>38956809
Maybe not normal, but realistic or human.

She has flaws. The others don't really, they feel more like your usual troupe of anime characters.

I don't know, maybe it's because I'm an asshole and just want to spite Aligot for being such a goddamn betamax.

>>38956796
Don't think it was ever specified in the series. We know that Valery and Adele were old enough to have seen their grandchildren grow up before sealing themselves and they still look young, so probably quite a bit longer than normal humans.
Those who were doused in demon blood might as well have an infinite lifespan, though.

>>38956821

>Ask someone something before you go
>>Like why did she get a hero?

>>38956845
ah, sucks

>>38956821
>Play with head maid's ears and prepare to move out

>>38956821
>>Ask someone something before you go
>>>Like why did she get a hero?

>>38956821
>Ask someone something before you go
>>Like why did she get a hero?

>>38956864
Do we know if heroes get increased lifespan along with everything else?

>>38956796
It depends. S1 established a lifespan of several hundred years for really strong people.

Now it's complicated. And depends on a lot of things. I think we had the first canon death in S3 on someone who wasn't any older than 16.

>>38956821
>Maybe the head maid is a better person to ask in private.

Ask if she think Greta and the hero will be alright with the marriage thing in the long term.

>Then, go to sleep

Why risk bringing up bad memories or something that could change the current situation?

Go play with the maids ears, go back to the rest of the crew for some fluffy tail touching, drinking, and whatever else Jack likes to kill time doing.

>>38956894
It's really unclear. Adele seems to be immortal for what it's worth. But she was in stasis for several hundred years.

>>38956922
That's exactly why I voted for playing with head maids ears.

>>38956925
>>38956904
So theoretically Jack could live for centuries, and just enjoy life with the girls and his fellow heroes?

>>38956973
Obviously, questing on our airship.

>>38956973
and groping all the tails

>>38957008
Something like that, yes.

>>38957039
Oh yes, all female tails shall be fondled.

>>38956904
>I think we had the first canon death in S3 on someone who wasn't any older than 16.
>wasn't any older than 16.
I'm pretty sure the Pastillage Princess was way over 20 at that point, since it was stated that they spent many years traveling together. It was long enough for Brioche to grow up (which was implied to have taken a long time).

>>38956973
He will. There's some S3 stuff that really doesn't apply to him or anyone in his crew, so that's the future he has to look forward to.

I'm still wondering if I shouldn't try to incorporate some more S3 stuff.

Also

>How'd ye get a hero?
>Time for sleep!

Writing!

>>38957063
When has Jack ever limited himself to female fluffy tails?

>>38957083
Aww, no ear-rubbing?

>>38957063
They better. We have a standard to live up to

You know, thinking of the future...
If things go as they should, Amaretti will be pretty powerful, having a royal family descended from a hero.

>>38957170
It's a burden we'll happily, eagerly in fact, take on.

>>38957317
And one day, we will pass it on to our kids.

>>38957417
It will be our family's legacy.

Rolled 1 (1d4)

Encounter roll!

>>38957436
Our spawn will take to the skies in their own airships, scattering across the world and swooping down on unsuspecting fluffy/scale tails when they least expect it.

>>38957508
I hope that wasn't a fluffy tail count roll.

You walk over to the bed and sit down next to the head maid. This bed is getting kind of crowded now.
"Aye just have one question." You put your hand on the maid's shoulder. "Why did she get a hero in the first place?"

"That's.." The head maid stopped.
Greta, on the other hand, didn't.

"Daddy gave her to me!"
"Gave 'er to ye?"

"Yep! He had some scrolls and I asked if I could have one and he said yes. That's how I got Kayda!"

The head maid continues, "Her father is the one who convinced all the nations to get a hero. It's.. puzzling to me why he did that considering that he just wanted one for himself."

Huh, that is puzzling. Maybe he just didn't want people suspecting him? He sure seemed to throw away his hero the first opportunity he got. Maybe he had something else in mind?

"Also Jack, you'll be a married man tomorrow. Don't you think you should show some restraint?"

You look again, and notice that your hand on her shoulder has slowly wandered up to her scalp, and it's currently gently folding the soft flesh of her ears back and forth. The tiny fuzz on the outset almost tickles the pads of your fingers.

"Nah." you say, almost bluntly.

- -

Ugh. Maybe you dipped a little too hard into the reserve flask.
Cody and Yuuki stayed behind to help with preparations. They agreed that you should get some sleep since you'll be the 'star' attraction tomorrow. Your bride is already likely sleeping.

It's just as well. You don't really think you can take any more of this today. You just want to embrace sleep and think of this in the morning.

You step inside your wagon and almost immediately flop into the cushions. You see Keiko's green puff of fur stir slightly, as well as a slightly larger mass of fur stir in its sleep.

"Night Atsuko."
"Mm. Night Honey."

'Honey'?

Surely you heard that wrong.

"I mean-" The blonde ball of fluff cuts itself off, "Jack. Good night Jack."

You're wondering if this day isn't going to haunt you.

>Thread End.

>>38957602
That was a roll to see who was laying in your bed

Sadly, nothing out of the ordinary.

>>38957627
So adorable.

>>38957627
>"Night Atsuko."
>"Mm. Night Honey."
>'Honey'?
...Oh dear.

>>38957558
We will forge a kingdom built on fondling fluffy and scale tails!

>>38957659
What would've been needed for fox princess?

Thanks everyone for the thread, sorry it didn't get as far as I was anticipating!

But hey, next thread is definitely the wedding! Which means I got to start that early too! And we covered a lot of waifu ground today. So overall I'm happy!

Let me know what you think, feel free to ask any questions. And thanks for participating!

>>38957627
So beyond being an asshole to his daughter, this king guy honestly seems like a real asshole.

>>38957627
so cute

>>38957721
thanks for running

>Night Honey

HNNNNNNNNNGHRK

>>38957699
3, Scale was from most likely to find in your bed to least likely.

Yuuki was a 4

>>38957627
>"Night Atsuko."
>"Mm. Night Honey."
No

Thanks for the thread!

Got a question: what is required to supply an airship?
Because I think that the talk about us going outside has a point and eventually we'll need to do that, so this has me worried.

Yes thanks for the thread.

>>38957758
Agreed; no way should this be allowed to go on.

>>38957751
I'm sorry, just have no interest in her

>>38957751
Damnit. Rolled worst option.

So...How mad is Tuile gonna be?

>>38957857
We do need to sleep near our summoner.
I think if we stay closer to her when we wake up she'd feel at least a little better.

>>38957857
For what? Sleeping beside worst girl Atsuko is necessary. Unfortunately.

Actually how do you pronounce Tuile's name exactly? I'm quite curious

>>38957721
Like it.
...So will there be opportunities to have fun with Tuile next thread?
Because this all seems pretty much perfect for that.

>>38957902
just like the french word, probably?

>>38957892
Well we don't know that, it could be the other one who summoned us.

>>38957722
In the land of fluffy tails, the rough, unpleasant tail is king.

>>38957802
Airships in this quest are different from airships in the show, it's the one S2/S3 thing that I didn't include because I forgot about it.

In the show, they fly by literally having four birds carry a platform. If I had remembered months ago that this was how they flew, I would have made it that way.

As it stands, airships can travel outside the barrier because it uses an animal for the airfold. The explanation I was going to have is that there's a giant moth flying around inside of it, or perhaps magic anti-gravity dust. but I never got to the specifics of it when they were being introduced. So right now it's just "it just works and the function of how it works will never come back to haunt you because I never properly introduced it."

Besides, I don't think jack would have really liked piloting a giant platform with birds. I think he wants a ship proper.

>>38957954
And I pray for that being the case every thread.

>>38957938
I shouldn't be surprised it's French, I forgot a lot of names in the show are. Thanks for reminding me

>>38957902
Just like the french word. It's the name of a dessert.

It's something I'm not sure a lot of people picked up on. Besides the heroes, I tried to make every character in the quest have food in some part of their name, just like the show. So if something seems hard to pronounce, you can probably google it and find what food I took it from.

>>38957928
Of course, that's why we're having wedding shenanigans.

>>38957892
Well who knows, maybe that won't be necessary forever. My lips are sealed.

>>38958003
>>38957992
And adding onto this. I took the food names from the region that the kingdoms are based on in accordance to the show.

Biscotti has french names.
Gallete has both french and some german names.
Brushetta (Not in the show, replaced with 'Halver' in the show) is based on italian (the show went with English names for Halver)
Konditorei is Austrian so far.

I'll leave the other one that wasn't visited up to interpretation.

Honestly I'm neutral to Atsuko.

>>38957758
It's funny because we really don't have a choice. Atsuko is our summoner so she goes where we go, unless we want to make repeated trips back home.

>>38957957
Well long as we can guarantee we can actually use an airship outside.
...We're gonna need some magic tricks to make sure we can defend the whole thing, though.

>>38958003
>Well who knows, maybe that won't be necessary forever.
I await the day eagerly. Be nice to finally get our own place away from the temple. And invite Madeleine to live there too. No reason to leave her there either

>>38958110
Same, I don't really understand where all the hate is coming from.

Also wow, this is the largest thread we've had in almost five months.

Thanks to everyone for taking interest in it!

>>38958149
I'd like to get Tuile to come along as well, if we do leave

>>38958185
Yeah - I mean she's certainly not my favorite, but still.

>>38958185
Probably from her being harsh on us before.

>>38958213
Thanks for running, Announcer., this was a great thread.
See you next week?

>>38958287
We kinda already told her we'd take her with us when we go adventuring, so it'd be a bit of dick move not to let her come along.

>>38958407
Some people just can't appreciate a tsundere.

>>38958464
Tsundere a shit

>>38958430
I think we're talking about leaving the temple.
Agreed on the adventure point, though.

Remembering that all the names are based on food is making me hungry. This was your plan all along wasn't it Announcer?
