Chapter 304: Photos (+)

As always, Giliath demands your power stones!

*

It was a nice surprise to see Kitty's debut this early. She wouldn't make an appearance until the formation of the SSS that will take place during the beginning of Trails from Zero. She would start teasing Jona and the SSS as a fellow hacker under the alias, 'Kitty'. At the same time, she would lead Estelle and Joshua on a wild goose chase of a country-wide hide-and-go-seek game due to what will take place in Phantasma. As a result of that, Renne became a lost cat, unable to find where she belongs, and decided to play that game with Estelle. If Estelle managed to catch Renne, Renne would join the Bright Family.

Or so how it went in the original games, anyways. That did indeed happen, and Renne was adopted into the Bright Family.

I am not so sure Renne being adopted will happen this time around, and that was due to my interference. I went the DG Cult route and brought Renne, Tio, Sherryl, Ennea and Van out of those caves. Enough time has passed, causing Renne to see me as her new family now. Considering it's like this, I will have to bring this topic up with Grandmother, the current Queen of Liberl.

Renne is still considered an orphan at this point in time. What would happen if she was suddenly adopted into Liberl's royal family?

I could see all hell breaking loose at that point, haha!

Now that I'm looking back on it, it might not be the best idea to have Renne bear the Auslese name. Having Renne adopted into the Bright Family might still be the best way to go. She could still come and go as she pleases back at Grancel Castle, all that will really change is her last name.

Sounds like Renne and the girls are having fun at least. Especially since they have a new party member now, Musse. I'm curious to see how she will fare against fighting monsters. Right now she is just a meager noble girl with likely some marksmanship training behind her. She hadn't gone into any practical combat training yet, not until the latter half of cold steel. Will Musse be able to hold up against Renne, Emma and Fie?

We'll see. Looks like they had a bit of fun at Valleria Lake without me, a girl's outing on its beaches. They even had enough time to pay Estelle and Joshua a visit. I just didn't think Renne would use her moniker Kitty to send photos of their trip my way.

But curiosity got the best of me. Renne did advise against opening most of these photos in public places. I can fathom a guess as to why she stated that, considering they likely took some photos together at the beach. It did say the first photo was fine to look at, so I did a tap of the screen and opened it up.

Yet just this first photo alone brought me a nice surprise.

With the glistening waters of Lake Valleria in the distance, a couple green trees could be toward the frontside of the photo. Underneath the shade of the closest tree in my view, I could see two figures currently in an embrace. Both of them were girls, and their breasts were currently pressing against each other. On the left side was a plum-haired girl who appeared around thirteen years of age, perhaps closer to fourteen now. Her plum hair was tied into a single ponytail, which accompanied a two piece pink swimsuit. She was currently wearing glasses too. Her body was pointing in my direction. I could see a deep blush on her cheeks as she did a cute motion of her hand, blowing a kiss my way.

It was clear to see this girl was embarrassed to be doing this. Her breasts being pushed up against the other figure's breasts, I could see the size was comparable. No. Perhaps even a bit larger than the other girl's? Renne did make a retort on how fast Emma's breasts were growing, but it looks like she really was telling the truth, haha! Of the cold steel cast, this girl definitely had the largest bust, even though it was often hidden by her outfit.

Who was it? It was Emma of course. One of these days, I plan to take Emma on a night out before we take on the Infernal Palace. It is clear as day she likes me, especially having kissed me after declaring her resolution. I want to do the same for her. It may be a bit early to start dating, but I need to consider my position. I am already dating a noble girl, and am now engaged to a noble girl, no, engaged to two noble girls if Kloe is included. Most nobles use their debut in high society when they turn fifteen or sixteen to find partners that could raise and secure their footing as a noble.

So me dating one or two girls right now isn't completely out of the question, despite me being thirteen years old.

I don't want Emma to be left out. A date night if you will. It will just be the two of us, just like how Angie pulled me into a room to confess how she felt about me.

Still, I inwardly chuckled seeing Emma blowing a kiss toward the camera's direction. She definitely wasn't used to doing this!

Laughing to myself, I shifted my eyes to the second figure, which brought me equal surprise to what Emma was doing. This second girl was much taller compared to Emma. She was well over a foot taller in comparison. Emma was still smaller than me, and I was already 5'5 or so. This girl was around 6'5. Of the girls in the Trailsverse she was on the taller end, not that I mind. This girl let her long and wavy blue-indigo hair split all the way down to her back, which hid away behind another two piece swimsuit. Her swimsuit was navy blue in color and quite dark, which accented her hair, as did Emma's swimsuit. Compared to Emma though, this girl was doing a motion of her fingers, pointing her index finger out toward the camera's direction, as if she was saying 'Come here'.

Man, I really missed out on this, didn't I?

This second girl teetered on the age of eighteen, and she was much older than the rest of us in our age group. She was closer to Lechter's and Lucy's age. But seeing this girl present with Renne and the girls, it gave me a sigh of relief. I was wondering how this girl was doing ever since she stated she would return to Ouroboros to be beside the Steel Maiden and the Stahlritter. It was Ennea of course.

Ennea held a special place in my heart. She was different compared to the rest. Even different from Angie.

After all, apart from Roselia, Ennea was the only girl who accepted me wholeheartedly, letting me suck her blood while I was in my dhampir form. Ennea accepted everything.

Should I tell her about the system I have? I feel I can open up to her, seeing as she now considers me her Master. Our relationship wasn't that of a couple per se, more of that of servitude, but given the word, Ennea would offer her everything to me. 

There will be a day where I start doing the deed, and my thing has already started to awaken thanks to puberty. Mornings become rougher, especially since I still sleep with girls under the same roof. Angie is in a particular position regards to this, her identity as a daughter of the Great Houses. Nobles treasure their purity, so while Angie might play and fool around a lot, I don't see us going all the way until the knot is officially tied.

And that doubles down for Alfin and Kloe. Unless the marriages take place, they can't be touched.

Which leaves Emma, and Ennea. Emma is still young to consider such matters, and Ennea holds a special place in my heart. If I bring the topic up to her once she finishes this training, perhaps there's a chance the deed can be done?

Something to consider, but it brought me a sigh of relief seeing Ennea now in Renne's group. I know they're in good hands and I don't need to worry about something going awry with her mixed in now. 

That meant I could divert my full attention to the upcoming training I have myself with Zemuria's strongest swordsman. I know his training won't be easy.

With some doubts cleared up, I took a moment to admire the first photo. It looks like there were five photos attached altogether. I did a really quick motion of my hand and swiped to the next one and my eyes almost popped out of my sockets, immediately prompting me to swipe the image away. Of course I didn't visibly show that reaction to the rest of the group I was with, as that would raise alarms, but I burned the photo that I saw for a split second into my mind.

It showed Emma and Ennea in a similar pose, but they were in a deeper embrace, stark naked.

Emma's butt pointed out to the left while Ennea's butt curved outward to the right. Their breasts were pushed up against each other even harder and had their pink buds peaking out to say hello. An even deeper blush was present on Emma's cheeks, and even Ennea had a tinge of red to them. Both of their privates were tucked away, hidden from view by their tangled legs.

How daring.

It really must have taken Emma a lot of courage to strip off her bikini, leaving herself naked. I'm sure Ennea was used to basking like this, and probably coaxed Emma into doing this with her. But still, I only glanced at it, but Emma's figure really is turning out to be something, huh?

Maybe she is ready...?
