Chapter 27

The other girls weren't stupid... That and Tamamo being the perfect 'fluffy wife' she was, could intrinsically see my state of being.

Thus she wasted no time after blanking out at seeing me and dramatically pointing at me. "Jake Barriss, you cheater! You were given completion by a woman that wasn't your wife to take one of your virginities!" She cried out and the assembled seven shadows in the original cast all stared at me and at their judging gaze I couldn't help but blush.

"Now who did it!?" Tamamo demanded and I steadfastly refused to look at Eta in order to save her from the assured bullying of my fox girl who went beyond simply pouting and actually buried her face into her hands and then dived into Delta's super fluffy tail to hide as she whined out piteously.

Even Alpha's face twitched, to say the least, to say nothing of the more visceral reactions of the other girls who were looking at each other as though trying to figure out who stole a march on me.

Delta and Zeta were hissing and growling at one another thinking the other stole a march, and Epsilon and Beta were glaring at one another for their weird rivalry about the pros and cons of natural versus enhanced-sized breasts. And Gamma being a clumsy sweetheart, only wryly smiled as she had no rivals honestly.

"Enough," I called out wryly and the girls refocused on me though as they looked at me I could very well tell they were blushing at the sight of me and knowing I was now partaking of the flesh as it were. But regardless of their reactions, I tried to be more serious. "Girls, we have two main targets one of which I will be taking care of and the other I want four out of the Seven shadows to be dealt with," I spoke.

"First is obviously the Cult's patsy in the Church's base of influence under the city of Lindurm and we need to retrieve the information and valuables within as well as destroy it on the way out," I said before looking to Eta. "Eta, the bombs are ready too correct?" I asked and Eta blandly nodded.

"Yes, Boss... The super boom boom bombs are ready in a space-expanded bag that a trusted Number will be carrying behind you that knows how to arm it." Eta said in her soft tired voice but there no was hiding the pride she felt for these bombs so I nodded in acceptance of her words.

"Alright and as for the other target, the underground labyrinth beneath this very city I need Zeta and Delta with their enhanced senses to exterminate all the Cult members hiding underground as you girls can smell and track the damned Diabolos Pills," I explained and the two beastkin girls pouted.

Zeta weakly raised up her hand before speaking. "Jake, can't I come with you?!" She asked pouting with her cat ears tilting downwards and I gently shook my head.

"No, the hunters to clear out the underground need to be you two due to your enhanced senses, and obviously Alpha also needs to be there to keep Delta in line and make sure our berserker doesn't destroy the city by opening up sinkholes," I said flatly and for a moment I thought Alpha and Delta were going to deny it but Delta just nervously chuckled.

"Anyway, Beta, you should stay up here on the surface and kill any fleeing rats with your archery. And Epsilon can be my backup when I go to Lindwurm." I finished finally and honestly... Only Epsilon looked happy at my distribution of our forces.

So for the next ten or so odd minutes, I ironed out the rest of the details until finally, Alpha spoke up. "Jake, I still think someone else should come with you besides Epsilion and a couple of the Shadow Garden numbers." At Alpha's words, the girls perked up and I raised an eyebrow and waved my hand for her to go on and the beautiful blond elf took a breath before speaking.

"My aunt Beatrix should come with you... She hates the Cult of Diabolos just as much as we do and you should take at least two people at the Seven Shadows level." Alpha finished bluntly and at her words, the door to our meeting room was pushed open with the door loudly creaking open.

Lo and behold was Beatrix, Alpha aunt and... She was wearing the Shadow Garden slime outfit but still in her typical clothing style of short shorts a bikini top and a large voluminous hood that hid her long grey-blonde hair.

At Alpha's request and advice, I nodded with a raised eyebrow. "Alright, sounds good then. Beatrix you ready to go now?" I asked while looking to Epsilion who preened under the glance.

The older elf nodded and spoke in her soft almost tiredly slow voice that was similar to Eta's but it was more of her just being a rather slow-acting person unless something got her moving. "Yes... My sword is at my side so I can go anywhere." She muttered and Epsilion stood up and threw back her light blue hair dramatically.

"Do not worry master for I shall be there to help lighten your load on this extermination!" She said proudly and even as she posed shamelessly I couldn't help but see her large 'breasts' and bemoan the terrible truth of the world.

As Epsilon out of all of Shadow Garden was the only girl that was below a D cup... Her boobs were nothing but jiggly slime she was magically controlling to perfectly merge with her body.

Either way, Epsilion was a great girl so I just went along with her little showboating and clapped my hands a couple of times before I took a breath. "Alright girls, let's get going. And Eta your job is to have some Shadow Garden girls disguise themselves as the Seven Shadows and myself to give us an alibi by being seen walking around your mall." I explained and she nodded in understanding then with that last bit of planning said I stood up.

"Alright girls good luck with your hunt and make sure to stick together in duos at least so in case the Cult upper-level members attack they won't at all be a threat." I finished and then as I left the room with Epsilion, Beatrix, and Tamamo following me. I heard Delta grumbling something before I lost her hearing of her grumbling.

"I cannot smell his scent on any of these girls... Did boss take one of the Numbers into his harem before us?" Then after that, I lost hearing of her. but a couple of moments later I heard her cry out muffledly in fear of Alpha as I felt her mana spike making me awkwardly chuckle as I increased my speed to the disguised carriage that was going to get us out of the capital and take us to Lindwurm within a couple of hours.

'Alpha wasn't a yandere... But her time being demonically possessed made her emotions unguessable at times. So best to get the hell out of dodge for a bit.' I thought wryly as Beatrix sat in front of me with her sword laid across her lap while Epsilion gleefully snuggled up to me.
