"Those two really suit each other, don't they?" Mino spoke as Raven and the other monster girls walked through the city streets. The eyes of bystanders watched the group closely, had it been any other man walking around monsters of unknown demis with him, the guards would've rushed them in a second, but being the hero, Raven had free reign as long as the girls didn't hurt anybody.
"Maybe, I'm not sure yet, but I do hope so," continuing on walking, Raven looked around at the familiar faces, each of them gawking at his girls, especially Amelia and Ophelia. Centaurians were unheard of near Athenia so their curiosity wasn't that out of bounds.
Even so, both of them being royalty weren't exactly used to being around regular people, especially humans since one lived in the land of demis and the other surrounded by her own kind.
"All this staring is irking me now," complained Ophelia, her teeth gritted in anger.
Already not too enthusiastic about joining Raven's group, she was having a much harder time than Amelia in adjusting to her new surroundings.
"Ignore them," Amelia advised even though her own face was contorted with discomfort.
"Easier said than done," Ophelia shot back, her face now as red as her hair.
With a hum, Amelia thought back to her father's words–something that had helped her whenever she felt anxious because of her looks.
"Those who look at you as curiosity become curiosities themselves," her words made the whole party squint as they tried to decipher what it meant. "Or just stare back at them until they get weirded out and stop looking."
Taking her father's mischievous advice, Amelia stopped in her tracks and turned to glare at the bystanders, her hands assertively resting on her sides.
"Don't you people have something to do?! Weirdos!" Her words shocked the public out of their trance. Surprised as well as a bit embarrassed by her action, they exchanged confused glances at each other before quickly scattering about.
Once everyone was on their way, Amelia turned to Ophelia with a flicker of a smile.
"See? Being a bit arrogant helps sometimes," having been a princess who loved to make people work for her, she knew exactly how to get things done out of stubborn people or simple idiots.
Amused by her ability to scatter the crowd so easily, Ophelia couldn't help but smile back.
"You might be right, and thanks for telling off those idiots," she replied right before the party continued their march onwards.
"Next time, maybe I can hiss at them to chase them off," but with Maine throwing yet another tease, the girls continue chatting each other up with slightly murderous ideas. Even so, bonding over such things, both Maine and Mino were trying to help the Centaurians and Arche settle into the group better.
In the meantime, Raven's mind was set on getting to the inn so that he could spend his holiday spreading his attention to every single one of his girls in private without any distractions. Showering them with love or affection in a group was decent enough, however, after his talk with Regalia over love, he wanted to make sure that every single one of them knew just how much he cared for them.
"Raven! Finally!" However, once again before he could get to the inn, the familiar voice of a woman pulled him out of his thoughts.
Blinking his eyes a few times, he looked in the direction of the voice and found Tanya slowly walking up towards him from the street corner. But something felt off, something Raven didn't realize off the bat, but the more he looked at her, the more he came to realize.
'She's not pregnant anymore!' A mix of joy and fear gripped his heart, after all, he had no clue how the delivery went or even if there was one.
"I've been looking for you all over ever since I heard you were in town!" Rushing the last few steps towards him, Tanya didn't seem to care that she was married and was showing great interest towards another man.
Neighbors and other citizens were glaring right at her, all of whom had a pretty good idea as to what was going on, However, none dared tell her husband as the man she was cheating on him with was the hero himself. Given the chance, they would've thrown their bodies to Raven as well, and why wouldn't they? To bear a child of the hero was nothing to scoff at.
Grabbing Raven's hands, Tanya beamed a smile like an angel. Overjoyed at seeing him after so long, she didn't want him to go away just yet, and so with a deep breath, she shook her head and stared into his eyes.
"Come with me! I need to show you my baby!" Hearing those words, a comforting sensation washed over Raven's body. But then, jumping up and down with joy, Tanya quickly pulled him out of the relaxed state. "Come!"
Dragging him through the street with the girls left behind, she didn't wait for him to respond and continued making her way towards her house. However, glancing back at Mino, Raven managed to yell out an order.
"Take everyone to the inn! I'll be back soon!" He said, but Tanya decided to shatter that hope to return soon.
"Nope! You're staying with me tonight!" And with that, a smile appeared on Mino's face as she knew exactly what was about to happen in Tanya's house.
"Have fun~" She teased, although Raven was dragged too far away to hear her response.
"What's happening? And who is she?" Asked Amelia, having no clue who Tanya was.
With a snicker, Mino spanked Amelia's back and she was left squealing with shock, the cowgirl gave a devious response.
"Possibly the father to her son's siblings at this point," muffling her laughs while Amelia glared at her in a mix of confusion and anger, Mino glanced across everyone's confused faces and began explaining to them what the whole deal was.
Back on track to the inn while doing so, everyone except Maine and Arche were left utterly shocked to find out that Tanya was another one of Raven's girls especially since she was pregnant when he got her hooked on his body.
'I guess he does have a way with women…' Thinking back to her own time with Raven, getting fucked above her husband's body, a heavy blush flushed over Ophelia's cheeks. 'And…That monster down his shorts probably helps.'
Too embarrassed to admit that she loved their time bonded together, she kept it to herself as the group of monster girls finally made it to the boartooth Inn.
