Chapter 1052: Chapter 1051: Let's Go Gambling!
"Why do you want to go gambling, Jahi? After all we just talked about last night... all the risks, all the ways to lose money or dignity... why risk it at all when you can just go out and adventure for your funds instead? Why play around with something that is a troublesome addiction to kick?"
Lady Kio stared at me as she sat up in her wife's lap, her prior happiness from being pat now gone as she got serious, which made me smile slightly as I took another bite of whatever this egg dish was before replying "Many would argue that the 'addiction' of adventuring and fighting is the same as gambling; I'm running risks with my life instead of my wealth whenever I go out and fight a monster. I understand what you're warning me against though, Lady Kio, I really do understand, but I just want to go and do it for fun, nothing more."
"It always just starts as a 'fun' thing; something to take the edge off... 'Hey I have a couple of coins I can spend, why not try and win some more?' It starts innocent enough, but-"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Kio, we understand. Thank you for trying to warn her, but I think Jahi gets the point; have some faith that they won't succumb to that sort of temptation. I have faith in one of them, at least..."
The Sultana continued to pat her wife even as she now sat up completely, the height difference between them allowing her to do so as she pleased with the Dogkin, who just glowered up at her before letting out a reluctant sigh as she waved her hand at me.
"Fine, whatever, do as you please... Ah! Look who finally decides to join us!"
I glanced over my shoulder and smirked at the two Caninekin as they slunk on over to the table, Kat walking with a rather obvious limp and content expression as she sank into her seat, while Anput stretched and grinned at us all as she took the spot beside her mate, not bothered at all by how obvious she was acting.
Honestly, only Leone was embarrassed by being 'caught' after making love, since the rest of us were never bothered with it, completely comfortable with people knowing that we had been going at it like rabbits since there was nothing they could do besides imagine how lucky
we were.
"Yeah yeah~! Just had some little things we needed to discuss is all... what got you so riled up over there Mother? It's rare to see you being so serious... usually you're just so... giddy."
"Oh shut it brat... You're Demoness hunk there wants to go gambling for some mundane reason... I was just telling her that's stupid."
I continued to eat even as I saw both Anput's and Kat's ears perk up at that, the two Caninekin turning to stare at me as they processed what Lady Kio said, with Kat eventually breaking the silence as she asked "So... why do you want to gamble? Are you just bored, or..?"
Rolling my eyes at my gorgeous servant turned Noble lover, I replied "Yes, a little, but also we were already talking about doing this in our itinerary, so why not do it now? Besides, the Sultana said she would get us a list together of good places to visit that would earn us some wealth, be it from her or from what we were hunting. Like the Fiends that are still out and about; we need to rest up to be able to face the next ones, and considering we just ran into two over in Khisba..."
"Still... hah... I guess the arena's are considered gambling, albeit far more tame and 'controlled' since those fights are able to be predicted, so long as the house doesn't rig the games. As for the casino's... yeah... we aren't spending more than a certain amount there, Jahi."
"I know, I know~! Besides, I was thinking we could make use of anything we win to start getting some materials for Anput to practice with, which we could then use to wager against some rich idiots or sell off for more fun funds~! Since we also wanted to visit some clubs too..."
"Thanks for just volunteering my work to be 'fun funds'."
Anput rolled her eyes at me this time as she got her own plate together, but she eventually said "But I do also need to get accustomed to my works being sold away; my actual works, not the mass produced slop that I make whenever I practice. Oh yeah Mom, my Mom in law to be offered me a contract to be her-"
Breakfast slowed down as we spent some time chatting with one another, having some fun and bickering with Lady Kio while telling the Sultana about our plans for the future and getting some advice from her that we took heed of.
Like she had suggested though, we were going to go out and do as we pleased for the day whilst she got us a list together of places that were in need of our aid or places that could aid us, with specifics of things or people that we would be interested in so that we could continue to improve ourselves during this visit.
All the while, the puppies were all eating quietly and behaving quite well, the presence of their parents taming them quite a bit as they did everything in their power to not draw attention to themselves, their earlier energy disappearing in face of the potential fear that their Mom or Mother could inflict on them.
When we were finished eating, we went back to our own room and got properly dressed up, with Anput having Yasmin fetch some robes for us all to wear to 'blend in', or at the very least have on clothing that matched the culture we were now going to be partaking in and enjoying, and that was after we all came to the agreement that Kat was banned from wearing some of the other clothes that were common in the Sultana until further notice.
She agreed with that, though I could tell my murderpuppy was itching to bare some skin and put some of her theories to the test, all so she could then use it on us and seduce us even more than she already did.
Finding a robe that fit me was a task for the poor, buxom servant that Anput had had for the longest time, but she eventually was given one by the Sultana who had no need for one for one of her older articles of clothing, and it fit rather well, though it was a bit tight around the shoulders and chest...
Anput though was back to her usual garb, the Jackalkin happily showing off a few of her outfits for us before settling on a more extravagant, airy red cloth garb that revealed her muscles and complimented her darker complexion.
The flowing white cloth covered our bodies but kept us feeling airy ourselves, while Anput stretched and grinned as she was able to flaunt her hard earned body, though I still pursed my lips as I watched her bounce around the room as she waited for us all to get dressed and accustomed to the new clothing we were in.
"Come on already~! Let's get going! I can finally show you my city and you're all taking so~ damn long to get dressed! Surely you know what a robe feels like, right?"
"You're like a child, Anput... relax..."
Kat glanced at her mate and shook her head as she continued to fiddle with the robe, her lusty brain contemplating whether or not she should tie that belt even tighter around her waist to make her figure even more noticeable, or if she should leave it as it was...
So I decided for her as I grabbed her waist and tied it for her, giving her the best of both worlds as I allowed some of her amazing body to 'shine' through the robe whilst also keeping it mostly covered, which made me puppy stare up at me with a complicated gaze before letting out a sigh as she dropped her arms and let me do this for her.
Meanwhile Leone was struggling a little with getting her breasts to not spill out of her robes or cause it to unravel, which was rather amusing to watch for both Anput and I, much to Leone's embarrassment as she felt our hungry gazes roaming her body, though as soon as Kat pulled free from my arms and went to the Princess' rescue, which made Anput and I grin at one another before the Dogkin decided to get cheeky and erected a wall of ice between us and
them.
Since it was a day of rest and all... and since I had doubts that any of the places I wanted to go visit were open right now... Anput and I were perfectly fine playing Kat's game, settling down and watching as she ambushed Leone, surprising the Vampire as she was suddenly dragged into a rather steamy lovemaking session.
