46 Osha's Big Day Out

A week later.

Things has have been settling down a bit. They have been starting to enact the plan to get more patrols out to track if any undead army was coming back.

Alicia has been in this world for around a year by this point and so much had already happened. Thinking about it was really mind boggling for Alicia.

Most days had been filled with some sort of activity that she could do, and she almost always had Ignis and Vera with her.

Today however was different. Petra had asked if she could borrow Ignis for some battle leadership lessons. Alicia wanted to join them, and Petra wanted her to join too, but Terre had told Alicia she had to finish overlooking some plans they were going roll out in the kingdom. Alicia wouldn't be much of a Queen after all if she let other people have complete free reign over her kingdom.

Vera on the other hand was asked to help with some guild work and train a couple of newer adventurers. This was due to no one, apart from maybe Petra, having much experience in adventuring. So Vera and Noa were going to spend the day doing that, which would allow them some time together as well.

It is around midday, and Alicia and Osha are finally coming to the end of the work they were asked to do…

"Phew… Finally done. Work sucks, right Osha?... Osha?" Alicia gives a big stretch and looks over to see her comrade in arms…

"Zzzzzzz… hehe no Big Sis, it's your turn to feed me… Aaaaaa…" (Osha)

…Sleeping.

"… Fufufu… Think you can sleep while I do all the hard work huh? THINK AGAIN!" Alicia walks behind the peacefully sleeping Osha… and proceeds to put her in a full nelson submission hold.

"AYAYAYA! AH WHATS GOING ON?! SHTAWWWP I'M BREAKING!" Osha's screams could be heard throughout the castle, but no one dared to risk coming to help her…

A little while later…

"That was so mean Big Sis! You know I can't read or write very well, so I couldn't understand most of it!" (Osha)

It was true that Osha was a beginner in both reading and writing, the magic that transported the knowledge from the books had ran out after all. So that cheat was unavailable. But Osha had still made very quick strides, being able to read and write simple sentences.

"Hmph! So you thought you could just go to sleep and leave me to this torture!" Alicia shouted defiantly back, refusing Osha's excuse.

"Muuu… fine I'm sorry I shouldn't have fallen asleep." Osha decided to concede, she didn't want Alicia to be mad at her for a silly reason anyway.

"… Fine, I accept your apology…" Alicia regretted her earlier violence as she looks at the mournful Osha.

When Alicia accepted Osha's apology, the usual playful smile spreads across her face again.

"Yay! Love you Sis!" Osha jumps at Alicia, putting both arms around her neck and into a big hug.

"I-I get it! Now let go!" Alicia struggles to keep herself on her feet and tells Osha to get off in an embarrassed tone.

"Hehe 'kayyy! So what should we do now? I mean we are all finished here…" Osha asks after jumping down.

"Hmmmm…" Alicia puts on thinking face and pose, putting her finger to her lips while her other arm is wrapped around her waist. She puts her brain to work thinking of something fun to do until...

"AH! I know, I could show you around the city. You've had a good wander round the castle, but apart from that you haven't had chance to explore the city yet, right?" (Alicia)

"Oooooo, that sounds super fun! Let's go, go, go!" Osha excitedly bounces up and down upon hearing they would be going to explore the city.

It was one the things she wanted to do most. All she could do, before now, was just stare at the city from the castle and briefly pass through it when she went to train with Alicia.

---

And so the two of them began their trip to explore the city…

They started by going to the Adventurers Guild.

"Woah! This building is huge!" Osha shouts as she runs towards the building, making people passing through the street look their way with warm expressions on their faces.

"Yup, yup. The builders have fixed it up even more since I last came here…" Alicia says, inspecting the guild building.

When Alicia first arrived in the city and explored with her mother, the building was in absolute ruins. The stone walls were crumbling and the wooden furniture and infrastructure were rotten through.

The most talented stone workers and carpenters that had been training over the months had been working on this building with great care, as it is such an important one.

Now it looked like an entirely new building. The cracks and holes were completely covered over, which stabilised the building. The wooden roof no longer leaked when it rained and the furniture and desks had been replaced with ones that looked like it could actually be used.

Osha and Alicia approach and walk through the doors to the guild. Osha frantically looks around at the sight of adventurers coming in with monsters they had killed, as well as those who were just sat at the tables, laughing with friends as they take a break.

As always, there were various groups of Kitsunes and Werewolves in the adventurer's parties. But now there were also a few Lizard people mixed in with them, learning how to go about being an adventurer by joining some of the more experienced groups who had been doing this for a few months now.

"Hey Big Sis, this looks really cool. They all look like they are having so much fun together!" Osha says, looking at the groups of various races, all chatting, laughing and working together.

"Haha I know right. The four of us should definitely come here later and see if we can find any interesting requests." (Alicia)

The requests Alicia had in mind were the ones that allowed them to go out and explore. Like the one that the led the adventurers to explore and find the Lizard people, which then led to Alicia being able to meet Osha and Kaal.

As Alicia says this, it makes Osha very excited as she hadn't stopped having fun since she met Alicia and really enjoyed the travelling that they did to get back to Valen.

"Hmm? Ah, Lady Alicia! Osha!" (Soft Voice)

The two girls hear a voice and search for it. Eventually they find the source, above the reception desk on the upstairs balcony. There stood a small Werewolf, who would be most definitely be mistaken for a girl if Alicia and Osha did not know better.

"AH, Noa!" Alicia takes a run and jumps from the ground floor to the balcony of the first floor.

"Waaaah wait!" Seeing Alicia's body coming hurtling towards him, Noa tries scramble away.

"Hehe no way is the fluffiness getting away from me!" But Alicia reaches out and grabs his shoulders before he can escape, pulling him back into her embrace.

"Fufufu you fluffy guys are so lucky being able to touch this level of soft, fluffiness all the time… I could just stay here all day…" Alicia rubs her face against the ears atop Noa's head while stroking his big, bushy tail with both of her hands.

"AH! No Lady Alicia, you can't just grab—Nnnn!" Noa tries to stop Alicia, but her hands run up his tail and one hand comes up and starts rubbing his ear, skilfully finding all his weak points due to Alicia often trying to do this to Ignis and Vera.

Noa blushes furiously as he tries to stop himself from letting out any weird noises, he knew that when Alicia got into this mood it was very dangerous. And he is certain she is in one of those moods right now due to her heavy breathing, glazed over eyes and the scarlet colouring her cheeks.

But then finally a saviour came…

"Big Sis you can't just jump on him! You need to properly say hello and stuff before you do anything like this!" Osha shouts at Alicia, reprimanding her.

"Plus! How come you always try and go for Ignis, Vera and Noa's fluffy parts! I know mine are smaller but they are still super fluffy, look!" Osha then wiggled her small, round ears and stuck out her butt to show off her tail… Though Noa immediately had a bad feeling about this as soon as she did it.

"Fufufu… maybe you are right Osha. Shall we have a stroking session together then?" Alicia turns her attention to Osha and walks unsteadily over to her.

As she walks away from Noa, he thinks how much Alicia acts like her mother in these situations. He had witnessed Petra going full daughter-con once before, and her behaviour was very similar to how Alicia was acting right now.

"That's right! I definitely-Wahhh!" Osha began to reply to Alicia, but the red headed dragon girl had already quickly closed the difference between the two of them.

Osha gets tackled to the ground and when she looks up, finds Alicia and her glowing golden eyes looking down at her. Alicia's beauty astounds Osha and she freezes up…

"Hehe now shall we get started…" Alicia goes to reach out for Osha's ears and tail when…

"Okay my Lady, that's enough." Alicia gets picked up by her collar by a very tall person with a calm authoritative voice. Terre.

"Haah, you and your mother are similar in many ways aren't you. Always so single minded when you see things you love…" Terre holds her head with one of her other hands and says.

Alicia on the other hand was not happy…

"No fair Terre! I was just about to touch the fluffy!" Alicia shouted in a childish tantrum like tone, making Terre sigh once more.

"I know that you have a strange fascination with the fluffy features of some of your friends… But look what state you have left Noa in." Terre says, pointing her thumb over in Noa's direction.

"Hmmm?... Oh." Alicia looks over in Noa's direction to see him in a incredibly dishevelled state.

Noa's feminine face was a deep crimson colour as he continued to try and catch his breath. His beautiful black hair that goes to his shoulders was messy and had gone rather kinky and his white and dark blue yukata was loose and hanging off on one of his shoulders. All in all, it was a rather erotic look.

Alicia though is incredibly apologetic, she wriggles out of Terre's grasp, runs over and kneels next to him.

"I'm so sorry Noa! I guess I got a bit to carried away with the stroking. Please forgive me!" Alicia pleads with a sorry expression.

"I-It's okay Lady Alicia… It wasn't particularly unpleasant anyway…" (Noa)

"Huh? Sorry I didn't catch that last part?" (Alicia)

"Ah! N-Nothing at all your Highness. But it's okay, you didn't hurt or offend me." Noa breaths a sigh of relief that Alicia did not hear the latter of his sentence.

Meanwhile Osha had only just broken out of her trance that Alicia's beauty had put her in. She gets up and walks next to Terre…

"Fufu you okay Osha?" Terre asks with gentle smile, looking down on the bear girl.

"Hmm? Yeah I'm fine auntie Terre… Alicia's really pretty huh…" Osha says, seemingly still partially in her trance.

Terre looks over Osha, not really shocked that Alicia had charmed yet another person.

"… Haha indeed." Terre chuckles.

Once the situation had calmed down a bit, the four of them had a little chat about what they were doing.

It turned out that Noa was just about to set off to go meet with Vera, who he was spending the day with. She had taken the new adventurers out to do a type of induction to help them get used to the profession, and Noa had stayed back to finish some paperwork before going to meet up with them.

Whereas Terre had just finished her days work on the large water fountain and was just coming by to check how things were going at the guild. That's when she came across Alicia trying to feel up the two fluffy demi-humans.

"Anyway, I better get going. Your Highness, Lady Osha, Lady Terre, I'll see you later! May! I leave the guild to you for now!" Noa, realising how long he had been, shouted his goodbyes as he ran out of the guild doors, while also saying goodbye to the receptionist he was leaving in charge, May.

"Well then, I shall also get going. I'm actually going to meet Aura right now. Did you guys want to come with me to see the school?" Terre suggests.

"Oh I haven't seen the school yet! Can we go Big Sis?!" Osha became excited again and regained her bouncing off the walls attitude.

"Sure, I said we could see everything you wanted to see today. Let's go!" (Alicia)

Alicia, Terre and Osha all left the guild together and visited the school.

They observed a class Aura was teaching and once it was finished, they chatted with her for a while before leaving Terre and Aura.

The two then moved on and visited various places around the city. Including the fountain that Terre was working on, the top of the city walls, the different streets that were lined with homes and trading stores.

Eventually, as it was getting to the evening and the sun was beginning to set, they ended up at the newly refurbished public baths…

"Haaah, this is so nice. A warm soak is great after walking all day…" Alicia says as she leans against the walls in the large public bath, submerged in the warmth of the water.

"Fuuuu… It's super nice…" Osha says, floating in the middle of the bath looking very relaxed.

The public bath was outdoors and overlooked a ledge that gave a rather beautiful view of a part of the city that was not yet in use.

Alicia lazily gazes out onto this part of the city, dreaming of what it may look like eventually. She imagines it being bright and full of life, with the sound of laughter echoing from it.

Then as she was daydreaming, Osha then swims next to her and leans against the wall with her…

"Hey Big Sis… Thanks… For everything…" There was a unusual sombreness in her voice as Osha talked.

Alicia turns to look at her, to see a sad smile on her face…

"If I hadn't been lucky enough to see you guys. I would probably still be alone in that forest…" Osha says, remembering her rather sad life that she had only recently escaped from.

As she thought about this, Osha didn't notice Alicia swiftly moving her arm round the back of her.

"Huh?" Alicia wrapped her arm around her and pulled Osha in close for cuddle.

"Hehe don't be silly Osha, after all what are Big Sis' for. I mean I have only known you a couple of weeks, and yet I already can't imagine this place without you." Alicia says with a big smile on her face.

Alicia's words make Osha tear up slightly, put she quickly pushes them back, not wanting to turn such a happy moment for her into a crying fest. Instead she just says…

"Thank you, Big Sis." and the two then look back out onto the dark city.

The two then spend the rest of the night energetically chatting away in the baths, until it was time to go home.
