"Wow… This is impressive. I wonder, will the three of you gain similar skills too?" Shurry expressed, pleasantly surprised.
"Son, these skills, Neze might be the only other one to get them-"
"Somehow I doubt that, mother. If this is the falna reacting to their positions in relation to me, I wouldn't be surprised if Ardee, and Alfia both gain a transformation skill as well."
"We can always check their status later-"
"No, we're getting checked first thing after returning home!" Neze said in a rather competitive tone. Though, she accidentally transformed… Then back again.
"Pfft, we still have one more place to go first, right?"
Hathor looked up into Shurry's eyes, seeing the silent rage guarded behind the calm, caring, and loving man.
"Yes… Going to check on our nephew, and my sister-in-law… And then I'd like to see what kind of spine this merchant has?"
Rose sat up, her bare bosom perky, considering how large her breasts were. She looked at Shurry with a request in her eyes, and heart, but she could also sense that it would have to wait. Though that wouldn't stop her from trying to seduce him right now.
"Shurry, you like what you see?"
"Of course I do. I will still ask that you hold on a little longer… Do that, and you'll get the full experience I can give. Mating should be a long, and fun-filled endeavor."
"Pfft, I'm expecting a wild night, but you're going to be putting this back on me."
Rose said with a smirk, holding out her bra. She half expected Shurry to refuse, instead, he put it on her, even doing a few hand shifts to properly set each breast right. And then he continued, until Rose was fully dressed.
"If that's how your hands are when you're dressing me…" Her lips curled into a seductive smirk… "I wonder how wild tonight's going to be."
"Imagination can only go so far." Ardee added in with a clearly wild look in her eyes, giggling as she eyed Rose up and down.
With a few bits of banter among women holding a place at the side of the strongest, it largely ended with Alfia's silent stare… Shurry's group went to visit Ganesha familia next. But first… They stopped by a clothing shop run by, and for werewolves, where Rose picked up a whole new look, folding up her guild clothes for good.
She now wore super short black shorts, with a belt angled just a bit off from her waist, strapped to the belt, and a bit of fabric matching the color of her hair. On her torso, she wore what amounted to an armored bra, engraved with Shurry's name over the left breast, it was a pair of breast plates… Anyway she was fitted with a pair of specially designed pairs of gloves and a nice choker engraved with her, and the rest of the wives names all with hearts, a pair of brown boots to make the shorts pop more, and several metal bands adorning her arms and legs.
Seeing the choker, it turned into something Alfia, Ardee, and Neze also got, each competing to see who was better, until they decided to have an additional one made… Ardee then put it on Shurry's neck. Fortunately they decided to make it out of an incredibly stretchy material… and to start with making it about half larger than the ladies ones… Else it wouldn't have fit his powerful neck.
…
With their pitstop finished, the group of six made their way to Ganesha familia. They were quickly let inside, obviously knowing exactly what Shurry was here for. And sure enough, he led them straight to where Shakti, and Ganesha were.
Ganesha was watching his children train, growing stronger by the day. To his side was a Pallum, his designated guard for the day… Not really because he wanted one, or designated her. More because she needed to talk with him.
"I AM SHURRY!"
"I AM GANESHA!"
The two let out a few chuckles after their type of greeting.
"Huh? That's the Champion!" … "Perhaps you'd know what I should do?" The young looking individual spoke with a worried curiosity.
"Hmm? Seems your strength rose considerably. Good job. I'll do my best to answer you."
"Uhm… Well, there was someone I'd had a huge crush on for years, I'd been hearing conflicting things about him now. And, after seeing him in person, he wasn't all that he was hyped up to be…"
"It's that murderer Finn, isn't it?"
"Yes…"
"I don't recommend continuing to have any feelings towards him. He was barely a help at all during that war. In some respects, he could be considered a cowardly weakling who made the situation worse… Isn't that right, big sis Shakti?"
Shakti, having heard Shurry was visiting, arrived, carrying with her, the young son she'd had with Hashana.
"That's right, I was hoping that he would have joined the battle in the east again, after getting a level up from the dragon they'd pulled away. And looking back on the dragons that were taken, they'd all been injured, and weakened by the rest of us, surely you'd have known that much, Grena."
"I do… I understand all of that. That's what I noticed and put in my report. They should have been able to deal with the thing without the aid of flight, or Miss Nernatti's passive magic boost." … "Finn, is not a hero. He's a coward, who likes to give orders… It just makes me wonder how many more lies there's been surrounding the Loki familia, and others."
"More than you know, and that I care to say." Shurry sighed, then looked over at Shakti's son. "He's grown bigger."
"Yep, I feel bad for him though… He ends up being my bundle of nuzzle happy thoughts every time I finish a day's worth of interrogation."
"Pfft, I look forward to the day I can cuddle a child of my very own as well. And it seems like you couldn't wait to get started on another one. Good for you."
"Damn, you can see that?"
"I can see a whole lot more now that I'm level 10."
"So that's the reason you feel so… different…"
"Yeah, so, where's this merchant who said it was worth it?"
The mood got serious, and Shakti handed her son over to Lady Hathor… "Lady Hathor, could you watch him for a moment, with Lord Ganesha? I don't want him to see this. At least, not until he's much older, and ready to take on the world."
"Not a problem Shakti. He's a cute boy… You did excellent work bringing him into this world… continue being a good mother."
Shakti led Shurry, and his wives away to the prison cells, to seek what he'd come for. Leaving Hathor with a baby, and Ganesha with a Pallum, one still confused about how much the world had lied to her. But settled on one thing, she was done with those feelings of appreciation for Finn.
