Chapter 90: 90: The elf owner [pt2]
"So, what is this kid called? I cannot keep on calling it a 'drake' forever, right?"
The elf asked with a happy voice. She was enjoying her time just being in the poison drake's company. Even after being violently rejected by the drake, the female was not ready to give up just yet.
She was going to become this Drake's best friend, no matter what she had to do to achieve that.
"A name? A name is a very personal thing for a beast and you cannot name one nilly-willy. Only its true owner can name a beast. And in this case, this drake was not mine so I did not name it."
Despite having tamed hundreds of beasts in the past, there had only been a handful of those beasts Amane had named. And that had also been before Amane realized what accepting a name did to a beast.
They were bound to the person who named them and they would also serve that person for life. The bond was strong and only death could serve it for real.
"So, are you going to invite me in or not? We have a lot to discuss after all."
Amane remedies the elf, changing the topic quickly before it could become awkward between the two. The elf looked agitated by the sudden words Amane spoke and there was also regret in her eyes.
The elf did not want to leave the drake alone. She wanted to talk to it more and get to know it more. But the elf had made up its mind now. She needed to understand what the drake wanted first.
"Lady Tsurugi, it would be my honor to serve you in whatever manner you want me to. Please come inside."
The more excited the elf was, the more animated she was. And that made a particular part of her body more active as well. Amane was surprised to see that the elf's breasts were still alright and not flopping out of her shirt by now.
The elf did not notice Amane's attention on a certain part of her body. She just opened the door and invited Amane in.
The inside of the mansion was beautiful but barren. There was not even a single servant in the vicinity of this place.
For someone as wealthy as this elf, this was a tragedy. One had to wonder how this place was even kept clean all this time.
"I am sorry but coffee is all I can offer you at this time. The servant who brings the groceries is supposed to come tomorrow. So, we both will have to wait for that long."
Kiana sounded sorry and she quickly entered the kitchen to prepare the coffee.
"Are there no servants in this mansion to help you out? I cannot see anyone but this place still looks clean and fresh."
Amane pointed out calmly. She did not want to make things awkward for no reason. If Kiana took offense to Amane's words, then it would truly be bad.
"Ah, about that? You should not worry so much. This place is not abandoned, just vacant for the moment. I often ask my staff to leave if things are about to get dangerous around here. I am a scientist after all."
That much Amane knew. The information sheet Amane had received did tell her that her employer this time was a scientist.
And a famous one at that as well.
It was clear for Amane to see why such a person might need the poison drake. It was for the products a drake can provide. But unlike her speculations, it seemed like Kiana genuinely loved and respected the drake.
That put Amane's mind at ease.
"A-Anyway, why was the drake behaving so coldly to me? I thought tamed beasts are supposed to get along with their owners."
Kiana asked with a bumped expression on her face. Her pouting made Amane feel bad, especially when she looked at the shining eyes in front of her.
She knew her words would hurt Kiana, but concealing the truth was not something Amane wanted to do.
"A tamed beast would obey its owner unconditionally. And in this case, that owner is 'me.' However, just like you cannot force a human kid to get along with everyone, you cannot force a tamed beast to get along with all humans as well."
"You will need to wait for the drake to come around. Either this or you will have to take a creative approach to fasten the process."
The elf had the determination to fill her eyes. She seemed to have decided what she wanted to do now.
"I see. So, how long will it take for the drake to come around if I wait for it? One day? Two days? One week?"
The scientist asked with a determined voice. She was willing to wait for as long as it was needed. But Amane shook her head in reply to the elf's words.
"It can be anywhere from one day to never. There is no guarantee that the drake will ever accept you either. So, it all depends on the drake."
The enthusiasm Kiana showed ebbed a little. But the determination did not fade away from Kiana's eyes. If anything, it seemed even stronger than before.
"I see. So, what about the other 'cheat' you were talking about? Did it have something to do with the way you rubbed my hand before?"
Kiana was observant for sure. She managed to guess what Amane was going to do already.
"Hmm, that is right. I rubbed my scent all over you so that the drake will not get as agitated as before with our combined scents. And it seemed like it worked this time around."
Amane quickly explained what she had done. The elf listened to her carefully before blinking her eyes a few times.
Something seemed to have clicked in her mind after a few seconds and she suddenly stood up.
"I see. If that's the case then we should try it. What do you want me to do? Take a bath with you? Sleep with you? Spend some time with you? Whatever it is you want, I am willing to try it out."
Amane was surprised at how fast Kiana came around. Most people would have raised their eyebrows a little and even been shocked to know that they needed to spend a night with someone.
But here Kiana was, taking up Amane's offer with open arms.
"Are you sure you want to do this? There is still time for you to back out, you know."
Amane reminded Kiana one last time but Kiana's determination was much more impressive than Amane was giving her credit for. Kiana just snorted and stood up.
Before Amane knew it, she had a solid weight pressing against her body. And there was also a pair of eyes looking up at her.
"I don't care what the consequences of my actions are. I have decided what I should have done earlier. Your scent? I will accept all of it."
Amane felt Kiana's cold hands on the nape of her neck. They roamed all over her exposed body before going down her clothes. Kiana seemed to hum as she took control.
Amane let Kiana be in control for now, enjoying the feeling of cold hands all over her body.
And then Kiana began to tug Amane's clothes off. They were both still in the open dining room where anyone could walk out and see them. But they both did not care.
Especially Kiana. She was wet and her leaking wetness created a puddle beneath her body. Amane could feel that wetness seeping into her stockings.
"Hmm, you say you are doing this for the drake, but that isn't true, right Kiana? Your body is enjoying the closeness. I can feel the after-effects on my body after all."
Amane pointed toward the wetness on her lap and Kiana instantly blushed. But her eyes did not look away from Amane even when a blush covered her face.
"Shut up. This is a woman's natural reaction when they are aroused. I am not ashamed of my behavior and you need to keep your mouth in check."
It seemed like Amane had hit a sensitive nerve in Kiana's mind. Kiana quickly pulled Amane down and smacked her lips against Amane.
It was not a surprise to either when their kiss evolved into something more. Especially when Kiana was trying her best to get more of Amane's scene on her body.
But she was going too fast and not in the right direction. So, Amane rubbed her hand in Kiana's hair and tugged her head back.
"Alright, enough of your clumsy attention. Let me take the lead from here and show you what you need to do."
Kiana panted as her head was held back by Amane's' fingers. She tried to get back to what she was doing but the younger one held her in place.
"Look, I will help you out so stop your clumsy attempts at seduction."
