You simply pat Niko on the head with your armored hand.

"H-hey! What's with this!?" Niko pauses, though doesn't necessarily resist.

"Think he wants some more info, so he's trying to coax it out of you!" Nino says happily.

"Likes to do that a lot with girls he meets." Morgan grunts. Did she sound more... annoyed then before?

"Hm, well, you all see like a really trustworthy bunch!" Niko smiles.

"Not sure how much a ninja's trust is worth..." Naru grumbles.

"Ninja PRINCESS." Niko reminds her. "Well, I guess that's kinda hard to prove, but I got the cash to pay!"

Niko then takes out a bag that she opens up, revealing a number of gold coins with a square hole in the center. Definitely the common currency in the Orient.

"Well, that's good enough for me." Naru nods in approval. So easy.

"But anyways, I guess you can say those bandits are looking for me because I got maaaaaaybe a bit of a bounty on my head." Niko admits.

"You're a criminal?!" Nino gasps.

"Nah, just a runaway." Niko shrugs. "The royalty gig just ain't my thing, you know? Besides, I don't know why they're so uptight about it. Not like I got an older sister who's higher up in the line than me!"

"Well, I don't think we have any reason to refuse her..." Morgan takes a quick glance at Romulus. "And Romulus says she's not lying."

"See?" Niko grins. "And you know, your little group here seems pretty solid! I've almost got half a mind to join ya guys!"

"Really?!" Nino's eyes sparkle as she looks to you. "We can get a NINJA in our party!"

"Ninja PRINCESS!" Niko corrects.

Hm. For a ninja, Niko wasn't particularly subtle when it came to her social status.

"Stop being a meanie, Morgan!" Nino pouts. "A ninja would be a great scout!"

"I'm already a good scout." Morgan again points out.

Fortunately, you all make it back to the surface without incident. You never come across the other party at all. Maybe they got tired and left before you did, or maybe they were still trudging around in the first branch of the Ruin. Either way, you're not about to find out as you all quickly make for the exit.

Truth be told, you were expected to be blinded by Sol's light when you reached the Ruin entrance, but surprisingly enough, you find the outside just as dark as the interior. It was already night.

"Damn, more time passed than I thought..." Morgan sighs.

"Well, traveling at night isn't so bad, is it?" Niko shrugs.

"That's where you're wrong." Morgan's eyes dart around. "Moving around blindly in the Frontier at night is a bad idea. That's when all the nastier creatures start coming out..."

"B-but if we camp here, the other party might come out and find us!" Nino points out.

"To be fair, it's probably easier to take out a few adventurers than whatever is out there." Naru sighs. "Neither option sounds appealing, though."

You point to the campsite. It was probably better to make camp here until daylight. No sense trying to brave the dangers of the Frontier now.

"In that case, let's get that door closed, then." Morgan points to the large stone that had previously been keeping the entrance sealed. "It probably won't stop them completely, but it'll give us some warning if they try to come out."

"That's pretty dirty." Niko points out and smiles. "I like it!"

It was a simple matter for you to push the stone cap back over the entrance to the Ruin. You had to move around heavier loads before, after all. Nino even adds in by adding a few trap wards for an extra layer of protection.

Meanwhile, the girls go about setting up camp, getting a couple tents set up and a small campfire going. Nino plays with Romulus in the flickering light of the campfire, while Naru starts going over Niko's coins with a pocket magnifier, as if she were a banker or some sort. Morgan, as always, has slinked off to "watch the perimeter."

"N-no, I'd rather stay up here." Morgan mumbles, tugging at her hood with anxiety.

You grab the bow from the air and hold it firmly in your hands. And almost immediately, you can feel a strange, itching sensation all across your skin, as if it was starting to harden and chafe. Immediately, you pull off one of your gauntlets and see that your normally soft, pink human skin was replaced with ruby red scales.

"Dragonscale?" Morgan gasps as she leaps down, her wolf ears twitching. "That's... really interesting."

You nod. It was kind of flattering, actually. You then politely hand the bow back to Morgan.

Almost immediately, your skin itches again as the scales begin to recede. You suppose that the effect only lasts as long as you actually wield the weapon.

Wait, but how come the effects persisted on Morgan after she handed the bow to you?

It seems that Morgan has the same though, as she blinks in confusion.

"Wait, how come the effect goes away for you..." She pauses and hands the bow back to you.

Again, your skin starts itching wildly as the scales grow back. Morgan's new ears and tail remain.

"You have GOT to be kidding me." Morgan gapes.

You motion for Morgan to follow you back to camp, where Morgan recounts what just happened to the little genius mage. She just sits there cross legged, eyes closed in thought.

"Hmmmmm, and nobody knows where the bow came from?" She asks again.

"It's not any that I recognize." Morgan replies.

You shake your head.

"I've been through all the shops and that doesn't ring a bell." Naru frowns.

"We don't make bows like that back home." Niko says.

"So a bow of unknown make..." Nino pauses and looks at Morgan. "And I remember you saying that you were born and raised out here?"

"That's right. Morgan nods.

"Well then, the only explanation is that this bow is connected to you somehow!" Nino grins. "They're rare, but there are enchanted items out there that only react to people of a certain bloodline or temperament. It seems like there's something about this bow that really likes you!"

"You make it sound like it has a mind of its own." Morgan groans, her ears twitching.

"Enchanted items do, in a way." Nino smiles.

"So this bow may have something to do with where I came from..." Morgan reflects as she stares at the bow.

"Well, all this investigation is nice and all, but I'm gonna get some shuteye." Naru sighs and grabs Nino by the collar. "You too, squirt."

"Nooooooooo...!" Nino wails as she's dragged into the tent.

"I'll keep an eye on the door in case anybody tries to come out." Niko grins as she gets up and stretches.

"I'll stay up and keep watch, too." Morgan says and turns to you. "You should get some rest."

You decided to sleep out in the open on a simple blanket laid out on the grass. You didn't want to take tent space from the girls and you honestly liked it a little better sleeping out like this.

However, it barely felt like you even closed your eyes when you're immediately shaken awake by Morgan, her face framed by the early light of dawn.

"Trouble." She hisses and points back at the Ruin entrance. You can see the stone door was cracked and failing as something on the other side was continually bashing against it.

Nino and Naru were already awake, both hastily trying to pack up all the camp gear.

"Oh man, they are all extremely pissed!" Niko sighs. "They are totally out to get meeee!"

On the other end, you could hear the muffled shouts of a language you couldn't decipher. Definitely did sound Oriental, though.

You hastily help Naru and Nino pack up the last of the camp gear as Morgan and Niko keep an eye on the door. Judging from the sheer noise being made, you didn't have much time.

Thankfully, you're all able to pack up your things and clear out before the other party can break the door down. With Morgan's lead, you're able to escape into the forest without leaving much of a trail at all.

"Wow, you really are a natural at this!" Niko grins at Morgan. "i can't even tell left from right in these woods!"

"...it's an acquired skill." Morgan sighs, clearly not amused at how Niko can still be in such high spirit after such a narrow escape.

"Still, I'm really grateful to you all for letting me tag along." Niko winks. "How about a round of drinks on me when we get back to town?"

"Oh, I'm liking her even more." Naru grins.

Romulus growls.

"I know, Romulus, I know." Morgan sighs in agreement.

"So! So! Where are we going next?" Nino asks you, skipping alongside.

You point in the direction of the Monastery. It would be worth heading back to get an update from Havel.

"O-oh." Morgan's face drops. "Um, is it okay to go to him with me like... this?"

Ah right, Morgan's wolf-like features were still there. That would require a bit of explaining to him...

You shrug casually. Havel was reasonable enough. You were sure he'd overlook it.

"You're sure about that?" Morgan asks, not quite convinced.

A good headpat quiets her down.

"Does he do that with EVERY girl?" Niko whispers to Naru.

"As far as I can tell, yeah." Naru nods.

You just shake your head and try to ignore them.

As before, it takes the better part of the day to return to Eisenwand and the Monastery. And as always, you're all welcomed into the Monastery with open arms.

"I see you've picked up another follower." Havel grunts as he gives Niko a cautious look. "A ninja, from the looks of it. Rare sight outside of the Orient, much less in the Frontier."

You nod.

"There's something special about her, isn't there?"

You shrug.

"Oh, don't give me that, all your companions here have some odd quirk or another." Havel grunts.

You ape putting a crown on your head to indicate that she was a ninja PRINCESS.

"What, is she a Queen?" Havel asks curiously.

You shake your head and point downwards. One level lower.

"A princess?" Havel turns back to Niko, who waves at him. "Her?!"

You shrug and hold up two fingers. 2nd in line.

"Ah, that's understandable, then." Havel nods. "This may explain a few things, though."

You stare at Havel to prompt him to continue.

"I heard some foreign envoys have paid visits to the city recently, and it's putting quite a lot of people on edge. At least, that's what I heard, anyways." Havel shrugs. "We can talk about this later once you're all situated."

And it's then that you notice Morgan trying to sneak her way past Havel.

Honestly, that girl...

You wave to Morgan, causing Havel to turn and catch the sneaky little ranger.

"Ah! Morgan! Trying to sneak your way past again, eh?" Havel chuckles.

Almost immediately, Morgan pulls her hood up to hide her ears.

"Y-yeah, like always, Havel!" She stutters.

"Are you all right?" Havel asks, confused.

You simply stride forward and pull off Morgan's cloak, revealing her new wolf ears and tail in full view.

"AAAAAAH!" Morgan squeals, her ears and tail shooting straight up.

"...interesting." Havel rumbles. "I do hope you have an explanation for this."

"Magic!" Nino says happily. "From a really cool legendary-level weapon we picked up!"

"...seems just about a good explanation as any." Havel nods. "Though, the look does somehow seem... fitting for you, Morgan. Just a gut feeling of mine."

"Th-thank you for being so understanding." Morgan sighs in relief.

"You've proven your loyalty by assisting one of our own." Havel pats your shoulder. "I have no reason not to trust you, even if you do have some demi-human features."

You give a thumbs up to Morgan.

Morgan simply just blushes and scurries off, Romulus chasing after her.

"C'mon, Niko, I'll give you a tour!" Nino says happily as she drags Niko off.

"I'll just, uh, go do some inventory on our loot." Naru says awkwardly as she slips away.

"Well, I suppose you have your own business to attend to." Havel nods. "I'll leave you to it, then."

You give Havel a respectful nod and head off to track down Morgan. You knew that she was having a difficult time dealing with her new situation and you wanted to make sure she was okay. She was putting up a brave front so far, but her attempt to hide herself from Havel was a sure sign that she still wasn't comfortable with herself.

At the very least, you had to make her feel all right.

However, Morgan had apparently just taken off, and before you could catch up to her, she's already barricaded herself in her room, which was worryingly uncharacteristic of her. You knock on the door, but get no response.

Well, seems like we've ended up with a tie and it's getting rather late, so we'll just have to continue things in the next thread!

However, due to some plans, there won't a Frontier Knight thread next Saturday. But I'll try to run it on Sunday afternoon instead, so keep a close eye on the Twitter!

As for Kancolle, that should still run on Friday as always, so make sure not to miss it!
