"Yeah, that has dark properties, so it might injure me if you take me with you. Though, I think the succubus can help with that,"
And as if it was scripted, the succubus came walking into the dining room, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
"What do you need me for?" She sleepily asked her voice just about managing to slip out of her lips.
"I need you to protect me from some dark properties while we use a dark property skill. Do you think you could do that with one of your skills?"
"Of course," She said and then gave me a kiss before sitting down at the table.
…
Later that day, we were about to leave as we had everything packed in just a single bag which I carried, but just as Arpious was about to activate the skill, somebody came running into the room.
"Huff… huff… huff… shit… I need to start working out again," The empress muttered as she gasped for air right in front of us.
"Is there something wrong?" I asked.
"Can you get me a souvenir when you're coming back? Get me some foreign food or something like that,"
"Ummmm… okay?" I muttered with a slight smile as I was confused as to what she really wanted, but it soon came to light as she stared into my eyes and closed the distance between us.
Her arms warped around me, and after patting my back a few times, she backed up and said,
"Good luck. I hope you have fun,"
Her warm smile almost made me regret leaving, but I was too set on helping Arpious with this, so I gave her a hug back and stepped back into my group.
"I wish you good luck in your future as well," I said, and soon, a purple light wrapped around me, making me sweat profusely as it felt as if a fire was burning my skin.
It was very painful, but just as we disappeared into a void of darkness, the pain disappeared… and we soon reappeared in a snowy forest, Arpious collapsed into Loath's arms.
"Make sure she isn't harmed even in the slightest," I said, and the elf just nodded before following me into the air with her ethereal wings.
Thankfully, all of us could fly, so we flew up high into the air until we caught a glimpse of what seemed to be a capital all the way in the distance.
It was bustling with activity and life, and the inhabitants were that of snowy rabbit human things… something I had never seen before, but according to [Inspect], they were pretty powerful.
Most sun drakes were still more powerful than them, but they slightly edged over elves in terms of pretty much everything.
They had different magic and skills, and their speed was a bit higher compared to the average elven warrior.
"Ysal, should we head over there?" Loath asked.
"Yes, but let's not reveal our identities yet. Babe, can you make us into the snow rabbits over there?" I asked the succubus beside me.
"Of course," She responded, and a new purple glow appeared over us, shapeshifting us into some beautiful humanoid rabbits.
We were more human than rabbits as we had a small tail and two giant rabbit ears, but we barely had any fur on our bodies.
It was mostly around our forearms and thighs, but everywhere else was just snow-white skin that was soft to the touch.
"Mistress, the illusion will even change your status, but that also means your stats are limited. I'll have to stay close to you in case there is an emergency," The succubus said, and I gave her a nod before we flew to the outskirts of the capital, our wings still poking out of the illusion.
As soon as we landed, our wings folded into our illusion, and upon lining up with the inspection line, Loath placed Arpious on her back.
She was truly knocked out, and she said this would persist for about a week if she was lucky, so I knew we couldn't rely on her amazing movement skills if the time came.
And, it seems this place wasn't much different from other places as we were immediately hit on by a group of adventurers.
"How are you ladies doing today?" A scarred yet beautiful rabbit man asked as he walked in front of us with his best smile.
Rabbit men were especially beautiful with their long hair and clear faces, but their personalities weren't any different from the average disgusting adventurer.
"It's doing bad now that you're here," Loath muttered while shifting her eyes away, unable to even look at him.
She had a tendency to avoid eye contact in many different situations, but as long as she didn't do that to me, I wouldn't complain.
"Come on, don't be so mean. We just want to help you out since it seems your friend here has passed out,"
"I appreciate the offer, but we're doing fine, so can you leave us alone and go somewhere else," The succubus said with a bit of a glare.
Surprised, he whistled to himself before returning to their spot behind us, where I could feel their malicious intent practically scraping the back of my spine.
"What a bunch of badass women… why don't you join our guild? Ten silver pieces a week sounds pretty good,"
We didn't know how currency worked here or how valuable it was, so we just didn't open our mouths again.
And surprisingly, the men behind us didn't bug us until we actually entered the beautiful capital, which was buzzing with various jobs, families, and citizens.
"It stinks," Loath suddenly muttered, and I glanced at her with a confused expression.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"It stinks of miasma… there is tons of corruption in this city. Not only that, I bet there are various crimes happening throughout each and every dark alleyway. I wouldn't be surprised if we found a dead body in the next alleyway," Loath muttered before covering her nose with her left hand.
