New partner get

While I was enjoying the fluffy goodness that was a giant filio, shield boy was questioning Sophia about anything that came to mind. Why were we running towards the sounds of destruction? What are my gauntlets? Why am I giant? Why am I cuddling the filio queen? Just all kinds of questions.

It takes a good ten minutes for signs of any armed force to show up after the death of the dinosaur. When shield boy sees them on the horizon, he yells to me to follow him because they will likely push all the blame to him and label me an accomplice. I get up ready to run when a notification appears in my field of vision that stuns me for a second.

I can't focus on it right now, so I save it for later and tell the filio queen to turn back to her small size which she does still in her dazed state.

I shrink down and carry her following shield boy into the forest to lose the pursuers. When we get a good distance into the forest, we take a break only to have a shadow appear to talk with shield boy. The shadow tells him about how the queen would be most grateful for him to protect her daughter and how they are sorry for fucking up everything and leaving him to clean up their mess.

While they continue to talk, I focus on the notification I got earlier. It says that I have tamed the filio queen and she is now one of my partners. Nice! I didn't think that I could gain a partner just by cuddling, but I'm happy to know.

I tried to get a filio egg to raise on my own, but when I consulted the professional handler in the caravan, she said that the egg I got had gone bad because of the sloshing sound it made.

It was heart breaking to think I couldn't even hold them in my hand once before they were already gone. I am a lamia now, so I felt that egg was my very own child. That's why I am so happy to gain a new filio partner.

The shadow called my attention when her conversation with the shield boy was over.

"I would like to thank you for killing that dragon before it could do any more damage gauntlet hero.", she said with a slight bow.

"My queen gave a message to her shadows if they should every encounter you in the future.", I didn't like where this was going because it felt like it was a request to fix her fuck up.

"I request your assist in protecting the shield hero and preventing the church and my husband from ruining my country while I am away.", she says in a different ascent than her usual one. I was right that it was a request to fix her fuck up, but I was probably going to do that anyway so there's no harm in accepting.

When she finished delivering her messages the shadow left and our group started walking again.
