Netori: Stealing The Hero's Party!

Standing in front of Aura's house, Raven wished to make this brief stop before heading to the Boarthooth in. Both Moxy and Choux had been there for a while, and with no clue about what was happening, he could only imagine the amount of worry weighing the fox-girl down.

'She told me not to leave her out of nowhere last time, and yet I did it again.' His promise on that balcony was distant in memory, but as words carried meaning, he felt like a fraud for having left her to herself again. 'The only good thing that might've come from this is that she got to stay with her father for a while, but that's about it.'

Dune Boarthooth, her father, was getting on in his age, and it had become evident since Raven's last few visits to the inn. His grey hair had turned greyer, and his eyes were wrinkling heavily. A few decades of life was still left in the man, but even a century was too short when it came to losing one's family. And when that happens for Moxy, Raven has to step up and console her.

'Let's just hope he lives longer than that…' His thoughts were interrupted by the sudden sounds coming from the other side of the door. Waiting for the doorknob to twist open, Raven washed the concern off of his face and smiled at the woman in front.

"Raven? But I thought you were still sick with some strange disease…" Aura said, her eyes wide with shock.

"I woke up a few days ago. I thought I might get some fresh air and visit a few people," Raven responded before letting himself into her house. To his surprise, instantly, he noticed a gathering of other women inside their kitchen, and each one of them was already looking at him with a light blush streaking across their face. "You have guests?"

Having not expected the sisters to be too social, it was quite a surprise that they were having what appeared to be a tea party in their kitchen.

"Y-yeahh…Wanna join?" Moving beside him, Aura was still a bit shaken that right as they were talking about him, Raven had decided to show up at their house. "Lincy sent some cookies our way. I'm not sure if you'd like them, but they're the snack of choice right now."

"Lincy, huh?" Her name reminded Raven of her brother. He hadn't met him since the whole ordeal at the nameless city, but from what he'd heard, the youngster had given up on his shady business and instead took payments from their treasury in exchange for working for the hero whenever it was necessary.

'I should talk to him too, he has great talent; maybe he can train other spies in the army that I'm gathering.' Making a mental note of that, Raven walked by Aura's side and made his way into the kitchen. There, the women gave him an awkward smile while Tanya leapt out of her chair to hug him tight.

The warmth of her body comforted him in a way that he'd been craving for a while. Something about the touch of a mature woman was like a soothing balm that helped soothe and loosen the tension in every fiber of his being. Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

"See? I told you~" Her hands still wrapped around Raven, Tanya turned her to the female guests. Smiling, she chuckled behind closed lips before looking up at her man and giving him a brief kiss. "Here, sit down. I'll get us more snacks."

Offering her own seat to Raven while the other women just stared at the sight in front, Tanya walked over to the cupboards and began rifling through them all. Left momentarily with the other guests, Raven wasn't yet too sure what to feel about Tanya's outward display of affection. He wasn't at all bothered by it, but he also couldn't help but wonder what must be going on in the heads of these women after seeing her kissing him.

"I-is it true…" Unable to help her curiosity the violet haired milf decided to break the tension. The other two looked at her, baffled, for they knew what she was about to ask him. "Is it true that you intend to take Tanya and her sister as wives?"

Glancing at the sisters, both of whom were in different directions, Raven gave the question some thought before responding to the woman.

"If I'm still alive by the end of this quest, then sure, I'll settle in Athenia with them and the other girls." To Raven's answer, the women's eyes widened further. The other girls? Who was he talking about? They knew he was a playboy of sorts, but still, to be a hero turned duke's woman, just who amongst the ladies of Athenia had such an honor?

"Who else are you taking in?!" Leaning forward on the table, the older woman enquired further. Seeing a very real opportunity to wed more of her nieces to him, she wanted to know more about the type of women Raven had a taste for.

Before he could answer, however, Tanya shamelessly sat on Raven's lap and placed a tray full of sweets on the table. Turning her head towards her man, she threw her hands around his shoulders and looked him in the eye.

"Don't listen to her, she's always trying to find guys to marry off to someone." Brushing a stand of Raven's hair to the back, Tanya caressed his cheeks and placed a finger on his dried lips. "Us sisters should be enough for the girls from Athenia for you, right? Of course, leaving out the rest of the women who're already close to you."

Shaking her head while standing by the duo, Aura crossed her arms and sighed.

"Not in front of the guests, at least…" She complained, but to everyone's surprise, Tanya locked her lips with Raven. Pushing her tongue into his mouth, she tossed and tusseled with her man right in front of the guests.

Having been separated from him, she did not care who watched. As for the guests themselves, they were embarrassed and blushing, but like a crazy accident in the streets, they were drawn in and couldn't help but continue to watch.
