In the living room of Debauchery's temporary base, the scene where a little girl drove a bunch of adults into the verge of mortal fear took place. Yunan and Leol were dining with said girl under the gazes of Debauchery.
"Tell sothing, has your dad got into pranking lately? By the way you still did not introduce yourself to us, that is bad manners for a nun" said Leol half chewing half talking while Yunan walked to the fortifications Debauchery made to extract the fox girl and let her eat a bit. For so reason children were fearless when adults display fear.
With Reina successfully extracted the children sat around the table and chatted while eating. "My na is Lili and i am training to be a holy healer, dad sent here to study with you, he said it will be fun so i ca by, for so reason he told to dress up like a nun whenever they made feel bad, my dad is so overprotective, i almost hate him"
"So you are not a nun? This is what your dad told you to put on for a good impression?", " I don't want to be a nun, they are so uptight and no fun at all, i want to go to the dungeon and et a hero, fall in love and have a family and live happily ever after" exclaid Lili with a fervent look in her eyes. "Whoa! So pure!", "Too bad she ca to Debauchery, poor girl", "i envy her innocence, hopefully she lasts a bit longer than Reina". The three children lanted to each other under the questioning gaze of Lili who felt lost in their midst.
"False alarm everyone, she is not a nun, the dress is a prank orchestrated by the old man pope, you can relax and breathe, there will be no nuns coming after you, not anyti soon anyway" Yunan tried to dispel the current atmosphere and ease things up, he also took a ntal note of adding nuns to the newly created section of Debauchery's weaknesses.
There was obvious relief although partial in the faces of the previously dauntless adults as Lucian timidly asked " really? There are no nuns? We can go around freely?". Leol Answered the broken man "she had no mark of lying when she talked so that should be the case, co here and eat with us buddy, there is no danger here". It took a mont for Debauchery to regain their forr attitude as they were still harboring doubts and were very reserved with Lili who seed to enjoy being around these assortnt of colorful people.
After the feast officially started, Reina and Lili beca best friends, almost imdiately, one was a twin tailed princess while the other was a walking talking molester repellent simply a match made in heaven, and with the suggestions of Leol and Yunan, the nun version of Reina was born and that caused a dilemma for the molesting paws of Debauchery, on one hand they could not keep themselves away from Reina on the other they would flinch whenever she moved, this provided endless fun for the children, and a trump card that can be used in case of ergencies.
Eventually the chatter drifted towards the elephant in the room, and by that, i an Reina raised the question suddenly like she is known to do. "Why do you guys who don't even care about the guild or an emperor fear nuns? That is a story that we should have heard you talk about when you were recounting all the stupid adventures you had".
"There is a reason we never ntion that thrice accursed day, we simply do not even want to rember that day, or the following months, it took leader pleading with the old goat for us to safely enter cities again" answered Bai in a hushed tone, the table went quiet when he started talking.
"It all started when a nun hired us to take her on an adventure, and since the covenants do not allow the nuns from leaving the city they are in unless transferred, soone ca up with the idea of kidnapping her" every one glared at Balin who hung his head in sha. "Everything was going fine and the nun was having fun as we dodged pursuit after pursuit, the contract was about to be fully fulfilled when we were tracked down by a bunch of nuns with crowns on their crosses" a whimpers slipped out of the hunky Dustan and you could tell Lucian was shivering while Fae had already fainted.
"They did not even say a word or listen when the nun was telling them nothing bad happened to her, they just started to beat us up, first they were using just enough strength to suppress us but we managed to run away with our contractor, that is when all hell broke loose, we were beaten up to an inch of our lives, healed and beaten again for a full week" tears filled Bai's eyes as he recounted the story, indignation was written on everyone's faces, even sobs were heard from Dustan, again one does not simply witness an orc sobbing like a frightened rabbit.
"After the week ended they left us there and left with the nun in tow, we did not even get payed or get any explanation, and from that day onwards for six long months, in every city we entered, the local nuns would beats us up for just being there, they said we are not allowed to even pretend to kidnap a mber of the church, it finally took all the pleading Leader could muster and a promise of half of all our gains in the future to stop the humiliation"
Yunan genuinely felt sorry for Debauchery, with that kind of experience, anyone would faint at the ntion of nuns let alone stand face to face with a fully dressed nun even of it was just a costu, Leol also shared this thought with Yunan, they also agreed that it must've been arranged by the old pope to et his renegade daughter, as for half the gains that was just a cherry on top of the proverbial cake.
They would not share this with Debauchery as it might be used in the future against the pope, they learned that from Debauchery during the chess ga of thrones, all leverage is useful leverage, no matter if it was against god or the devil, leverage was leverage no matter how you look at it and with the guts Debauchery had instilled in them, there is no way they would let go of such a great thing.
