Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army

Chapter 28: no free lunch

Both the emperor and the guardian felt useless, looking at their little girl being molested in front of their eyes and them not even reacting till it was to late, it took them by surprise since they did not feeling any harmful intent from the giant or nor from his accomplices, they knew there would be no harm to the girl but still could not keep themselves from wanting to to something, although they were nervous and scared by Debauchery they did look at Leader as if asking for permission to beat up the offenders.

Leader in her laid back did not even try to help out and just put her arms around Yunan and Leol's shoulders and said "why are you looking at me? official business is over, i can not control their free time, i am not a dictator". an excuse when Yunan heard he thought it was a perfect excuse to shirk off responsibility, while Leol only now realised why Balin and Fae were whispering and also why leader started by mentioning official business time, these guys have been working on this the moment the walked in., this kind of frightening planning and communication was done between the time they entered the door and the time the last one of them took his place, simply monstrous.

Under the eyes of everyone in the room, the little girl was on the verge of tears while the trio of Dustan, Fae and Balin were singing something that had no origin " soft ears, silky hair, fluffy velvet tails. fiery girl, happy girl, let's play all day". behind his desk the director coughed a few times to draw attention, he asked in a surprised voice "is that it, it's over, that was all it takes?", Bai answered him from his position "do you have any other official business? if not then yes, it is over, that is it". the director had no words to reply, this is a class B threat? what is the all the fuss about? there is nothing dangerous about them except their unpredictability.

"Can you please stop molesting my girl" the emperor finally had enough and decided to act if they did not stop, Fae threw a hateful glance at him " who said we are molesting the little angel, choose your words carefully you old pervert, we are merely grooming her to make sure her hair and fur is in order, there are no molesters in Debauchery" said Fae, Balin confirmed " how can we dare to molest such an angel, humph humph, show me someone who dares and i'll break their knees, humph", while Dustan looked at Lucian, who was now giving leader a shoulder massage, with a bit of pity "sorry mate, no more grooming for you, we got a softer doll now" the three of them did not stop what their hands were doing, with a greedy and righteous expression melding as one on their faces. a snigger from Bai followed by a giggle from Leader, and then the rest of Debauchery was laughing at their shameless friends, even Yunan and Leol joined in.

Lucian must have been hurt by Dustan's comment, although he laughed he still did something that no other sane person would dare to do, he snatched the girl from the offending paws and sat her in Leader's lap, and stated "here you go, soft and fluffy with the a shoulder massage, just the way you like them" then he returned to his post massaging Leader. although the trio with now empty hands did not try to touch the girl while in the protection of Leader, they went about poking and kicking Lucian who just ignored them, if he messes up the massage, then Leader's wrath will consume him too. on the other side, the emperor and his guardian felt like ignored little kids, they looked at the director for help but he shrugged since he had no way to stop whatever they were doing, since there was no harm done. thus the emperor turned his sight towards the dwarf munching at the tail of a lykan in frustration, and he was at a loss for words again, lykans were known for killing those who mistreated their tails, some even killed for an accidental touch, but this lykan infront of him seemed like he had a higher priority than his tail being bitten at the moment. so he cleared his throat "mister Balin, how about we negotiate the mission and the compensation?" Balin turned to the man and looked at him like an idiot. "listen here mate" said Balin while spitting out some fur strands from his mouth " if you want to give us money, just send a box of jewels or something, no need to waste your time and ours" Balin returned to pulling on the tail he was biting.

The guardian's face turned ugly and barked at Balin "how can you call negotiating a mission a waste of time? are you even accepting our mission", that got the man a very deadly look from Balin who walked to the guardian and started poking him in the stomach " well we did not accept your mission, we accepted your princess. as for the mission why complicate things, transfer her to this academy, pay for changing her teacher and sign her under us, doesn't this make negotiating a waste of our bloody time?" lastly he stepped on the foot of the guardian and made his way to the director and slapped his palms on the desk "where is lunch?, the orc is getting hungry, don't tell me that you invited us here without taking lunch into consideration!", "well of course we prepared lunch, we just thought it would take longer than 10 minutes to talk things through" answered the director, how dare this dwarf be so audacious to expect anything from him, even the lunch was complimentary, for the emperor not for them. he was about to say more when he heard the orc talk " no food, how stingy, old emperor let's go outside and find a good restaurant, i am starving" by the time he finished his words, his companions were standing up and already heading for the door leaving Leol and Yunan behind, Leader hoisted the little fox on the shoulders of Dustan and lead the way out.

"They hate complicated things, so just do the transfer using the guild, if you still want to reward them, gift them whatever you feel like, like we mentioned in the letter, if they like your subject, you win." it was Leol who talked first, he stood up and bowed to the director and left the office following Debauchery. Yunan followed behind Leol and stopped at the door " come on ser emperor, Debauchery is feasting, i don't think you should miss it, i have never seen them do it before, but something sure is that it will be fun, hurry or you will miss it" with that Yunan left and closed the door behind him and ran down stairs to catch up with Debauchery.
