Some cuteness with Athena and Portia, give Zoe some hugs and headpats.
Weren't we going to enroll the Harpies in school? Or are we waiting till they can read and write first?

You know, that's probably one of those really good social reform things we could do...

Right now, while the college accepts anyone, that idea doesnt hold much weight if you look at it deeply enough.

You need to be home educated to know how to read and write.

There's no school for children

That means, you probably received education at home.

That means, either your parents are educated scholars, OR they are wealthy enough to pay for private teachers.

And thats a huge social change we could bring about.

***

A lot of people ask for Stella during the rest of the day.

Well, she's pretty popular, it seems.

Uhmm, Portia and Athena are sticking to each other a lot. I guess its natural for two little girls to stick close when there's so many unknown people of all ages and appearances around.

"Athena, do you want my dessert?" -Lyann has Athena sitting on her lap during the evening break.

Aritsu, Athena, Lyann, Mako, Portia, Zoe and ourselves are sitting together under the large oak tree in the eastern garden of the college.

Well, we have gathered here to have a boxed meal with our friends for about 6 years now, so we feel it is pretty much our little corner, but there are other groups nearby, doing pretty much the same thing.

The college allowed a few food merchants and their carts to enter the college ground as long as they stay in the northern edge of each garden, and college staff are free to ask them out if they make a mess,

This means that, besides boxed meals, many students enjoy having snacks and hot beverages during the last break of the day.

"Thank you." -Athena smooches Lyann after taking her dessert.

"Portia, do you want some?" -we offer ours to the spiderkin girl

"No, thank you." -she shakes her head softly as she makes a face as if she had sucked a lemon.

Is she bad with sweet things? well, spiders are carnivorous but she's eaten vegetables with no problems before. Maybe she doesn't likes sweets?

Is there such a thing in the world as a little girl that doesn't likes sweets?

"Would you like a golden potatoe?"

"Yes, thank you." -she happily accepts it when we offer it to her.

I guess she just doesn't likes sweet things. Or is it the puddin texture?

"President, whom will you interview first?"

"I figure it will be..."

Alright, so Aldo first.

***

Well, finding Aldo is quite easy. He practically lives in the research lab across from Okaba's old lab. We saw his name on the door plate hundreds of times when we were in the labs, and meet him briefly a few times when Okaba was working on his animated chair and later the centipede carriage.

So, after the last class is over, we ask Lyann to take Athena, Portia and Zoe home, while we go talk to him.

There's just one thing. For some reason, Zoe wants to stay with us.

"I'm not a little girl, I don't need to be taken home!" -the adorable kitten (she's a lion, though) girl says while holding our left hand between both of hers.

Ah, let's see... she's 7. Yeah, she still counts as a little girl. For at least... I dont know, 10 more years?

>In that case, could you be a good big sister and help Lyann take Athena and Portia home?

"Ah..." -she blinks and looks at us, then looks down and flattens her ears against the top of her head as she thinks about it.

She's such a cute kitty (she's a lion, though) girl.

"Then, can we go on a fate?" -she asks while her tail tip flicks back and forth high behind her
"Sure."

We'll take her to the commercial district and buy her a candy apple and a new doll.

Cause she's our adorably kitty (she's a lion, though) little sister.

She looks so happy.

Well, let's go with Zoe to meet with this dwarven researcher.

And indeed, we find him in his own lab, working on something that looks like... he's trying to make a flying golem? that's a bee, isn't it? wouldn't a bird be easier?

The bee seems made of copper and about as big as a house cat. Not that there are house cats in this world.

The plate on the door, right under the window, reads "Aldo Brooks".

Somehow, its a little dissapointing that he's not called something like "Bronzebeard" or "Axebeard" or something else. Something properly dwarf-y, you know?

Well, Honoria is Honoria Opal, but that's sort of expected since that's the name of her kingdom.

So, we knock on the door and greet him as he opens the door for us.

"Ah, young Lmister ightbringer, what can I help you with?"
"Good evening. I was hoping to speak with you about the laboratory position you applied for."
"Please come in."

We go in, and he's about to close the door when he notices Zoe.

"Oh, please come in! I'm sorry." -he says kindly

Right, dwarves are in love with all the beast kin races, aren't they?

"Thank you."

The lab is as orderly as could be expected from an organized researcher. There's very little out of place, and it is obvious that those items are being used right now.

"So, what do you want to know?"

"I worked side by side with prince Okaba on multiple projects, not just the chair and the carriage, you know? he spoke very highly of you."

He did? uh. But I'm mostly just goofin off and leaving work to those around me. I just helped with some knowledge from my old world here and there.

We did talk about ethics and social progress a lot, though.

"I do remember that talk with him where he was telling me about you."

Asmund: "Morality is measured by the progress of our work. A construct whose works bring us more progress is more moral than a lesser construct."
Okaba: "Didn't your people poison the landscape around your own city in the name of progress?"
Eldric: "I guess you would need to define progress first."

"That's the story he told me, and it inspired me quite a bit. Indeed, one should carefully define its objective, but never forget about the means on the path to that objective. That is why I'm working on this right now."

He goes on to explain how he wants to create a cheap and enduring farming drone to help collect fruit from wild areas.

Basically, a construct that gives a shock to its surroundings when it dies. Over time, monsters would learn that these things give them no food, and sting them upon death, so they should leave them alone.

"You can work on your own project, but I do expect action items completed by the deadlines I give you."
"Sounds fair."
"But, I still don't see how would you benefit from this arrangement."
"The main lab has more resources. It's as simple as that. Its the difference between being funded by the school or by myself."
"Ah."

Well, that makes sense. I guess im grateful for his honesty.

"Alright, I still need to interview two more candidates, but I have a good feeling about us working together. I will let you know after I've spoken with the others."
"Alright." -he gave Zoe a small toy construct. It looks like a simple ball, but it actually opens into a little scarab.

"It doesn't do much other than fly in circles around a set point. I made it when I was studying the flight of insects for my currect project, but it doesn't really has the size for any complicated systems or instructions."

Also speaks to Zoe the way anyone would talk to a young child or an adorable kitten.

Well, that's obvious, because Zoe is a lovable kitty (she's a lion, though).

"Thank you."

The dwarf pats pats Zoe's head gently, then escorts us to the door and sees us walk off before going back to work.

Now, about taking Zoe on a "date with her older brother.

"Ah, uhmm... c-can we go to the orc baths?"
"You like the baths, uh?" -we pat her head softly

Well, of course that children would like pools. But -

"It's a bit late, isn't it? we would need to use the common room. I don't think it would be very fun to play around with four dozen strangers around."
"Aww..."
"We'll go this weekend."
"Really!?"
"Sure, we'll take Lyann, and Athena, and Portia, and the harpies..."

Why does she look so sad? aww... she really wanted to play in the pool now, didn't she?

"Where else would you want to go?"
"Can.. uhmm.. can we go to the island manor?"
"Of course. It should be early evening over there."

Ah, she looks super happy.

Yup, Zoe really likes to play with water, doesn't she?

She wants to go to the beach.

Alright, let's agree in advance. I was thinking in Zoe actually confessing to Eldric that she loves him, and trying to get him to accept her as an adult and maybe a lover, but, how do you want him to react?

Should he dismiss it as a brother complex that will fade away, or take her on her offer, and to what point?

Or something else, of course, such as being shocked and needing time to process it, or such?

>>45519523
I say need time to processes it while zoe tells him why she's been calling him a stupid brother

>>45519496
>>45519523
I think that Eldric should feel like he should have seen this coming, and while she's physically mature enough, he feels that Zoe needs a few more years before he can accept her as an adult. Maybe 7 more years.

>>45519523
definitely need time to processes and maybe talk to his parents about it.

>>45519496

We nod, and [treestride] with Zoe to the island manor, emerging in the area next to the house itself.

The garden is finished, or rather, the construction is done. The garden paths have been laid down and filled, and white fences mark where the flowers and trees will go, with small signs reminding the gardeners of what to plant and where.

"Roses" a sign says, standing alone in the middle of a freshly seeded circle of land.

A few signs read "White wood Cajala", showing a complex area where a maze of flowers and bushes will one day stand, leading to a large gazebo in the middle.

The gazebo itself already stands, and will, as a proud father, see the garden grow around itself in the years to come.

The pond Aritsu suggested already has dozens of small but colorful fish. It will be quite a while before they grow into the decorative, graceful center pieces of the garden's beauty.

"Young Master! welcome home!"

A dark skinned, blond elven beauty greets us. She had been working planting flowers on the garden, and is wearing a one piece, sturdy set of work shorts and overalls.

Her rich blonde hair as bright as tropical flowers, bound back behind her to keep it out of the way as she works. Her small feet are bare and muddy, but she greets us quite happily, and curtsies as best she can as she apologizes for the unsightly state of her clothes.

"No, no. You are working, there's no problem at all, please continue, and thank you."
"I-is that so? yes, thank you young master."

Zoe pouts a little and pulls our hand. She really wants to swim and play in the shore, I see?

"Brother, let's go..."
"Yes. yes, we're going."

We thank the elf again, and let Zoe pull us along.

As we arrive to the beach, we take our school shoes off, and head towards the small stilthouse that we use when we come with friends in order to safely store our clothes.

It is our new uniforms, so mom would be understandably upset if we got them spoilt with salt water on our very first school day.

"Bro~ther, help me take out my ski~rt?" -she says while flicking back and forth the tip of her tail
"Sure."

We casually open her buttons and slide the skirt down to her knees.

"Oh, it can be unbuttoned all the way down?"

We unbutton it and just remove it.

"There you go."
"Ah... thank you..." -she says softly

Her tail is almost straight down for some reason.

Uh... we know her well enough to know that means she's upset or angry...

Lets pat her head for a bit. There we go. Good girl.

Uhmm she's left her hair grown a lot. Well, its otherwise hard to say how much she's grown since she's always looked like this. I guess its fine, but we miss her short and fluffy hair.

Ah, she looks cute with long hair, though!

"Here, let me help"

Kneeling down, we help her take her socks off, and then stand up before her to help her with her shirt and undershirt.

"Rise your arms. There we go. Good girl."
"Ah... b-brother is taking my clothes off..."
"I'm sorry, Zoe is a big girl, right? did you want to do it yourself?"
"No! it's okay!"
"Aww... Zoe is such a cute kitty."

We smooch her forehead and help her finish undressing, then fold her clothes and leave them over a small bench.

"Brother, let me help you!"
"Okay?"

She looks quite happy to help us. Well, she's a very hardworking and honest girl.

Uhmm... she's a bit red, did she catch a cold? no, wait, with her constutution, that's nearly impossible, right?

"Ah."

Why do you look so dissapointed after taking off our pants? I'm sorry, your brother's underwear is lame, isn't it? it's just white shorts because that's the fabric in this world.

Once we take them out, she is even redder? well, she's too young to be aware of boys, right?

Yup, definitively. Because Zoe is just a kitten.

"Ah, alright."

She holds our hand and smiles.
We walk down from the stilt house to the sand.

"Uhmm Zoe's skin is really soft and delicate, is it really alright to be under this much sun?"
"Y-yes! there's no problem!"

Well, she's snow-white all over. No, maybe milky-white? either way, its cute. Even though she has a very nice figure, we really feel like she's a baby, somehow.

That is to say, any soft bits feel like baby fat, maybe?

Uhmm... the sand is really hot, let's pick her up and carry her to the water...

Well, just so we are clear, its white, but not vampire white. It has a soft pinkish tone unerneath. It looks really cute.

"Ah!" -we exageratedly cry out after stepping on the sand, and hop back into the wooden step- "It's hot!"
"Brother's a baby" -she says, and is about to step down when we pull her back to the step
"No, it's really hot, you know? so Zoe doesn't burn her feet, let me carry you!"
"Ah? what?"
"Yes. I'll carry you."
"R-really? like a princess?"
"Zoe is our house's princess, but that's not as fun. Why don't you climb up?"

We step down into the sand and offer her our back.

"But..."
"It'll be fun."
"But..."
"Come on!"
"Uhh... idiot bother..."
"Please?"
"...alright"

She sighs softly and climbs up. Uhm, its hard to tell with our strength stat, but she's really light, isn't she?

Ehehe... she weights about as much as a kitten.

But, she would get angry if we said that, right? because she wants to be a "big girl."

Ah, her thighs are really, really soft. It feels like we'll bruise her if we squish her.

She leans forth to hug us from behind.

Oh, Zoe actually... right, she does have breasts, right? she looks like an adult, but somehow we never really pay it any attention... well, that's only natural, because she's our little sister.

Yup, that's only natural.

"Uhmmrrr..." -she purrs a little as she leans her face over our shoulder
"Let's go"

We take off towards the beach, and start going into the water.

"Wait, I don't wanna get off yet."
"Why not? its the water you want to play with"
"...I want to play with brother more." -she says softly
"Alright."
"So I don't want to get down."
"...?"

There is a myth about a monster that, passing itself as an old man, asks young people to let him ride on their back, then turns them into their slaves because they can't get rid of him.

Well, its a old chinese myth. It was fairly obscure.

"Really?"
"Yes, because Zoe's a princess, so let's do as Zoe wants."
"Ah... then, then, let's run that way!"

She clings to us firmly.
She's really soft

So, we run around the water's edge for a while as she clings to us. She looks really happy.

Do we give her enough attention? it's fine, isn't it?
She would tell us otherwise, right?

"Is that enough?"
"Ah... the other way, now!"

So we run around some more.
She does get down when her horsie goes rogue and goes into the water, though.

So, we playfully run away. Of course, its rather slow, but...

"Noooh!"

Zoe ran towards us at full speed.
I don't think you get it. We are talking of someone with over 700 levels running at you, full speed, with the water up to her chest.

She made a huge dent in the water, like a sports boat. There were huge waves in her trail, and we are quickly hugged from behind again.

Ah, I'm sorry. Zoe is a little girl, so, it was scary?

"Don't leave me"
"I wasn't really going to."
"But... you are leaving in a few months..."

"Ah, it's about the wedding? But, Zoe, if your big brother gets married, its natural for him to leave."
"No, such a thing, I don't want it!"

"I love brother. Please don't leave me"
"I love Zoe too. You are my precious little sister."
"I love Eldric. Please don't leave me."
"There, there. I love Zoe too. We'll see each other every day."
"I love you, so please don't leave me."

She is honestly crying now.
It's that, that type of crying.

It's not baby crying. It's the soul tearing, broken heart type of crying.

"Ah, Zoe, I love you lots and lots, you know? don't cry..."
"Brother is an idiot... I love you, so don't leave me." -she says in between hiccups
"Calm down..." -we rub her back and shoulders, softly
"Eldric is an idiot. I love you, so don't leave me."
"Uhmm... don't worry, we'll see each other every day."
"You are an idiot. I'm telling you that I love you, so marry me, too."

She's seriously crying, so it's not a joke.
