Bunny meets Tiger

I sighed; I couldn't help it as I sat across from the venomancer, "You have created potions for a vast majority of other wizard towers," The representative said with a slight lisp. "We have come and offered above market price and included a decent amount of gold as a commission. You are still rejecting us!" The Venomancer woman stated loudly, Annoyed at me.

"I am no longer accepting orders Representative. I have no time for any more orders, including the generous commission that you are offering," I told her. "I am not saying this just to the Venomancers. I am saying it to everybody. My accepting commissions has ended. You will have to find another Alchemist to make your potion."

I leaned back, and I watched her angry face as she glared at me. She suddenly stood and, without another word, left. It was a very rude reaction, and I watched her go feeling only relief. This conversation had been thirty minutes of me explaining that I was no longer offering Alchemily services. After these last weeks, it seemed that they finally decided that they wanted a potion and to commission one from me. When Alexia and Yuri turned down the commission, they refused to accept it. The Poison Wizardry tower had their local representatives come to talk to me then.

The conversation was one of me repeating myself over and over again. I couldn't tell them the reason I was ending commissions, but the Venomancers were not the only ones displeased with it. I have had numerous complaints since I finished making all of them. When I finished all of them, they were all high-quality potions that I put a lot of effort into. Apparently, while I wasn't thinking about it, my fame as an alchemist grew even more than when I did the auction. I never even had time to plan a second Auction to make the large profits that brought in.

I sighed as the Venomancers were the only race in the end that never had a chance to commission my works. That made them feel left out and annoyed that I showed 'favoritism' to the other races. The potion they were looking to commission was a deadly one that came with danger.

I shook my head, though. No matter what they thought about it, I wasn't about to open up my commissions again. If I did for the venomancers whom I did not get along with, it meant I would have to do so for others. That meant I would be loaded with more and more work again, which I did not have time for.

I leaned back just as I heard a knock on the door before it opened. "Christina is here to see you," I heard Yuri say professionally.

"Thank you, Please let her in," I said and felt a headache building in my head after the day so far.

Christina did not come in right away, and I was left with my thoughts about what to do next when I heard the door close. I watched as Christina sat down across from me. "I have made the arrangements. There is one issue, though," Christina said.

"What?" I asked, looking at her with vigilance.

"The Dominatrix requires gold for you to meet her. As you meet her, you will be a new Client." Christina replied, and I winced.

I was hoping for a meeting between equals, but you are never equal when you are the client of a dominatrix. That was something that I would have to deal with before the conversation got to where I needed it. However, it was an obstacle that I would just have to deal with. I audibly sighed before I nodded. "Tonight it is then." I stood, "You will be my backup, Sister. Watch my back and ensure that we can make it out if anything goes wrong."

"Yes," Christina said with a nod. Her emotionless demeanor that she showed for work was there as she said that. It was like the passionate woman was hidden once again. "In fact, I have already informed Yuri that you will need to head out now if you are going to meet this particular appointment."

I raised my eyebrows at that and could not help but ask, "Is it already evening?"

"Yes, Your last meetings went longer than Yuri anticipated, she said, and that the last particular one took twice as long as she originally scheduled. That leaves us with very little time to get there. We must leave soon," Christina finished, and we both were heading out of the office quickly.

"Good luck," Yuri said as I passed by her and stopped kissed her cheek before turning and following Christina.

"Thanks," I replied halfway to the stairs.

We soon were on the bottom floor of the embassy and heading on our way towards the exit. We were silent, and some of the guards nodded in acknowledgment as we left the Embassy wizard tower. I sighed as the evening salty air hit me. We walked in the evening sun, and I followed Christina out deeper into the streets.

As we walked down the streets, I noticed that she never made a noise as she walked down the streets. Her footsteps did not echo out, and it was like she was a ghost. It was a causal show of skill that must have been unintentional as we moved through the streets. I saw many Succubi and Incubi walking the streets and Beholders moving with purpose.

Some watched us with interest, but we were not the only Bunny-kin on the streets. Silver for bunny-kin was not very common, though, among my race since it was considered among the high-ranked Bunny-kin, but with generations of Bunny-kin, it had begun to show more commonly. I looked around, though, and although there were beast-kin, there were not many. Devils walked down the street, and Djinn also did. It was a multi-species show when you walked in the capital of the Demon lands, and for some reason, I never noticed before. It was something you couldn't even see in the beast-kin nation among the capital cities.

The City around Silvermoon tower was Bunny-kin and almost bunny-kin only since I had my mother help with my partners. It was something that I never thought about much, but with the Demon lands being much more progressive, I felt it looked better. Everywhere I looked while following my sister was more than one species. Multi-species couples were walking together without any judgment from those around them either.

I knew there was vast racism in this world and that genocide was something that was a serious possibility if the wrong people came in charge. I also knew that there were even Bunny-kin that argued for the destruction of the human race. This was something that I couldn't condone since I used to be a human in my past life. Just because there were some among them that would advocate for the same thing with my species now doesn't make just cause for me to reciprocate that logic back on the humans.

I sighed as I thought that when walking towards this Dominatrixes place of business. The world was about to enter a period of war, and I wasn't sure how things would play out. I knew there were so many factors in play and that things would get very messy quickly. The Gathering of Tribes would be where the final declaration of war against the Empire would happen, and the marching would begin.

I shook my head, killing the thoughts about that. I brought myself back to the game and the economic situation that I needed to help with. This Dominatrix that I didn't even know the name of might be my key to finishing this damn trade agreement. If this was my previous world, I knew that I would be in for years of arguments unless there were a meeting brought together among multiple nations to bring the agreement together. In this world, though, with longer communication lines and autonomy for people working on the front lines in important positions, things were much different.

My mind raced with ways to bribe this woman and try to come to an understanding. I moved through the capital with Christina, who I made sure to keep one eye on at all times. My mind was not on Christina, and instead of the task before me, I came up with various things I could give the woman I was about to meet.

We soon came to a nice-looking building that blended in with all the surrounding buildings, and Christina stopped. I stopped behind her, and my thoughts about what potential things might come up changed to more immediate things. "This is the place?" I asked her, looking at the ordinary-looking building.

"This is it; you need to go in and ask for Mistress Sally," Christina said, her voice emotionless. "I will hide among the shadows and keep close, but I will not be beside you. Just be careful; I think there might be someone at least in the B ranks in the building."

I looked at Christina sharply, and I took a deep breath. "Okay, I will be careful," I told her truthfully.

I stepped towards the building, and I noticed that the building looked very clean as I approached the door. It was ordinary when I first looked at it, but this building was immaculate compared to the others on the street. As I opened the door, the interior was decorated in darker colors, and a human woman stood at a desk looking at me as I entered.

My skin tingled, and I understood the reason that Christina asked me to be careful. I walked up and realized the floor was soft. It was carpeted, and I wasn't expecting that since it was not very common. In fact, I do not remember any buildings with wall-to-wall carpets so far in this world. As I looked around with the fancy look, it looked appropriate as I stepped up to the woman standing at the desk.

"Welcome. May I ask if you have an appointment?" The woman asked in a very polite way. It was something I heard from nobility or higher educated way. No, it wasn't just that; it was the way she stood like she was a noble.

Interesting.

"Yes, I am here to see, Mistress Sally," I replied with a smile, and the woman gave looked at me with a smile. It was another polite one, and I couldn't pinpoint where the etiquette came from. All nobility in this world had a form of etiquette, but I knew that it wasn't from the Demon lands or Beast-kin nation. She must have come from the Kingdom of Arlin or the Emire. Maybe the theocracy, but I highly doubted the last one.

"Ah, You must be Chelsea then," The woman said, consulting a notebook. "You are slightly early. Mistress Sally likes..." The woman seemed to stop herself from saying something, then looked up at me, "Clients who are early."

I felt like there was another word that she wanted to use but thought better of it. I smiled in return and waited as the woman looked down. She leaned down and picked something up, and looked at me. "This way, please," The woman said and began to lead me to what at first I thought was a wall. When we got closer, I realized it was a cleverly put-together door that seemed to blend into the decor. It didn't stand out as a door but undeniably was when you approached it.

She reached out and opened the door, and inside was a simple wood staircase leading up to the second floor of the building. I followed her up the stairs, which seemed more basic than the lobby. It was bare compared, and I felt like that sent a message to me.

I didn't know what it was, but that was the feeling I felt when I came up to the top of the stairs to see how basic the building looked towards when you first entered. I looked around, and there were four doors. I followed her to another basic door, and it opened just as she reached it.

My skin itched as I stepped up to the door, and I could not help myself but urge my mana through my body.

The woman on the other side of the door froze, looking at me. I looked at the snow-white-haired woman through the doorway. She was a beast-kin with at least Tiger-kin heritage from the ears. But my instincts screamed danger to me, and I fueled my body with mana as our eyes met.

"Oh?" The Snow white-haired woman said her smile made my instincts tickle even more, "You never said that the newcomer was a powerful woman. Interesting!"

Her voice was amused; her smile felt dangerous. "Come in," The woman invited me inside and moved to the side, and I saw a large amount of equipment inside. I didn't overthink it and stepped inside despite the tingling of my skin. I knew one thing about this woman as I entered.

This woman was dangerous.
