Warning

Nall felt relief soon enough after hearing Jumi. "Oh good, no brain eating, got it. It means we will see her again. Let's not tell Althena that I almost lost her twice...", he said, looking guilty but even he knew that the only thing to do was to move on and, IF she was in danger, then find a way to go save her. According to jumi, she was doing fine or at least not bad so he could relax for the time being. "Humans really are good with machines, aren't they? I've seen them used for war but also for good... They can go boom so loudly and destroy everything and there are other ones healing you. Wait... The one she is in created that beast? Well, humans playing gods aren't new either. Why do they do it so well?", he asked, visibly blushing but also pouting and looking away to try and hide it. With what he had seen of the vixen during Umi's moment and other times, he really had to wonder... When the vehicle, other human machines again, arrived to pick them up, Nall carefully approached to take a good look at it. Even Mao didn't seem quite in her element as she watched the thing. A machine with wheels that moved around fast. Not the first time either of them had seen one but approaching them was another story. Going inside? The idea itself was insanity. Still, with jumi looking like she was feeling comfortable with doing that, he got curious. This one machine did not look like a war one. Other ones were seen in the city while they walked around. He quickly flew inside in the back where a lot of space was available and landed on the seat. A human-made machine, made for humans, by the size. Mao quietly followed and, being the size of a human child, she sat a little more normally on the seat, finally letting her magic rest. "Alright, we're set...!", he then told them. Shinigami probably would enjoy anything right now. "Last night was learning but you can still feel at your heart's content... Humans usually like to pet fluffy creatures.", she told the priestess, assuming it might be the case for her as well but clearly, there was a difference depending on what the creature in question was. The way Nall was treated, in her eyes, wasn't the same as the way SHE was treated so far, especially by Jumi, Mitsuko or Nymphia. Still, Umi at least offered some of that by touching her side. The vixen remained quiet for the time being, letting her touch. Her tail however still moved between her legs, showing a certain happiness with the attention she was starting to get, otherwise calm right now. Shinigami heard Umi about her thoughts, noticing her innocence since last time. This was not bad until the priestess made her suggestion to the fox. That girl was incredibly innocent, to the point it made her doubt about what she should do with her. For Mitsuko, there was a clear curiosity and an open door about her sexuality toward her. For Umi, it was a completely pure mind discovering such thing only by Shinigami having teased her with it. Still, being a little playful could show where this lead. Moving around, the vixen pinned the priestess down on the bed gently, standing on her four over her. "Let's see... Are you sure you want this fox to corrupt such a pure mind...?" She asked nicely, looking at her eyes.

Nall gasped a bit as he heard Jumi's theory. A girl related to death, being dead... Nothing crazy there, at least in the world of magic. These ideas never really came to his mind but at the same time, he only had seen her twice so far. Once was with the cat girl and once was when she had done those horrible things to the fox. A terrible punishment to inflict to any creatures, even a strong beast. "No wonder she is unknown, then. She is a scary brain eating monster hidden in the shadows.", he said, almost sounding perfectly unironic. Mao turned her head to give him a small glare but as Nall was on Jumi's shoulder still, he ignored her. "She won't try to eat Mitsuko's brain, will she? Or do weird experiences on her? Will she make her mutate into a huge monster...?", he asked, again sounding like he might believe it. It was probably hard to tell what kind of knowledge he had in this kind of topic. "That machine you talked about wouldn't sound good in that case... I don't want her to be turned into something scary...", Nall finally said, looking both depressed and afraid suddenly. Mao almost rolled her eyes, feeling like it was better not to speak. Whatever she knew, she did not believe that her mistress would do such a thing to their friend... Probably. She didn't know her as a zombie, at least... Or as a demon. Shinigami kept eating but still kept a part of her attention on her current partner, at least keeping her eyes on her. The girl undressed a little faster than before now. With Umi soon wearing the pendant, which was safe anyhow, her gaze stayed on her chest area for a bit before she left some space on the bed for her. "Can't say the same for myself but I had time to relax and rest...", she said while looking at least pretty relaxed now with her body enjoying the bed, no signs of being tense anywhere from her head to her toes. She trusted Umi enough to not make her feel alarmed. "If so, then you're the perfect human to hand this to. There's nothing in there but my own magic but it might be new or not to you." After having taken her moment to eat something, she finally gave a good look to Umi, "You are free to have fun touching me again. The only rule is that there are no rules. I doubt you will do worse to me than what I've been through. Don't be afraid, don't be shy, you're not the first human to feel me and touch me everywhere...", Shinigami playfully said but really didn't mind, even moving her hands behind her head, both for comfort and to allow Umi free way to do anything she felt like. Umi had already done some of it but maybe she would feel more comfortable with it now. It was best to let the girl explore first then see what would happen, afterwards. The vixen would use this fun moment to relax, too.

As they followed, Nall remained close to Jumi, staying in the air and only landing on her shoulder when they stopped in the throne room. Mao instead stayed apart but followed them anyway. The eyes on her made her cautious and stick closer to the fairy, however. She was not exactly shy of being the center of attention, especially floating in the air as she was, but she was not for a fight in case one of them may try something. The name of her mistress was mentioned again with a plan to find more about her. She was not known to many humans, even these ones didn't know her. But would these humans that they talk about really do? Being part of this, Mao had a feeling that they might be getting close to something if they did. She had received no orders to do anything at all except just... be there. Following did not sound like a bad idea if they allowed it. Nall himself looked conflicted but held his voice until they started leaving, looking at Jumi from where he was. "Not even them know about her... He said that not even magic gifted humans knew her either... For someone this dangerous, you'd think someone would have an idea of who she was.", he commented while Mao remained quiet, not being sure what to think about this whole situation as a whole. Soon, they might or not find something. Shinigami still followed back to the room, being rather cooperative for now as she picked one of the pieces of food and ate it, finally feeding on something to give her back some stamina and recovery. At the room, she waited to be invited inside and listened to the explanations given to her, being a little impressed with the effort Umi had done to get this done. "You really went beyond, this time... I need to see this.", she replied. Once they entered, Shinigami went to place the food somewhere save, as close to the bed as she could, before sitting on it. A detail Umi may notice now was that the vixen lacked a certain sexual part this time. On quick observation, she looked like a nude fox woman with fluffy fur. As Shinigami looked at the objects, she felt a little amazed to see the different kinds she had. All of them had a justified use. The fox could definitely bleed, she had done plenty of that at the manor. Proof that she was very well alive, at least. She needed time to find the right ones and bleeding for it might not have the wanted effect. Holding a crystal or stone pendant of sort in her palm, she locked it in her closed fist before she drove lot of her magic into it before she opened her hand again. The pendant was now glowing with a faint darkness from within. "My magic alone will not do much but if you figure a way to analyze it, you might make use of it. Don't let it corrupt you.", she warned, handing it to her. Pushing the other unneeded tools and jewelries away, Shinigami took the liberty to lay down on the bed and relax but picked some more food to eat, being at least careful with not making a mess. Her tail remained between her legs for now but her body was very well in sight, fully touchable if Umi wanted to. Or experience with her anyhow, physically or else. Like she was letting her do that casually, the fox only looked at her to see what she was going to do now but she didn't want to put ideas in her head just yet like she had done before. Umi had seen and felt some of her... Would she approach and touch on her own or would she make a request? Shinigami was quietly allowing to let her explore herself.

Nall only stared at Jumi as he heard her thought, even if not quite literally. He was not a mind reader. "If so, it's probably safe but I don't know about being part of her...", he replied, looking up in thoughts for himself. "The sword is the holy weapon of Althena... She is not a fighter herself but a worthy human is destined to protect her in time of needs. Odin had threatened to bring chaos to the world with the help of Lenneth who is seeking to get rid of the sword first... Something I can't let happen but if the sword is with Mitsuko, it should be out of her reach. Still... I don't think the sword can be part of her. It's a key to the magic of Althena. A way for her to transform and give her a fitting attire. She would need to be Althena herself to do more BUT the more Mitsuko will learn to use the sword, the stronger she will become.", Nall explained, not without a certain admiration for the valkyrie who seemed capable to handle a sword already. She was new at the magical girl business but she had proven capable to fight at least a little in the arena. back at the convention. Something that he liked watching. At any rates, he soon stopped talking and just went along with what Jumi had in mind, a little more motivated than he was only a few moments ago. Mao herself followed quietly and without questions. Shinigami smiled as she received no objections to go around naked. She was not really trying to tease the priestess or anyone but at this moment, she enjoyed the comfort of nothing but her own fur. She had no shame walking around as she was born anyhow. The clothes had been given to her for a little modesty but she could choose to wear them whenever she liked. There also was that curious garb that she wore when talking to the human god. It was light and rather comfortable... Wearing that often might give her an odd look and probably confused gazes, though. At least, outside of that place. For now, she followed Umi to where they could find some food. At the temple, she could find many choices she could definitely try a taste of. The vixen might eat at times, as her own kitchen at the manor showed, but she did not take many pleasures in trying different kinds of food like this. Moving without doing a single effort to hide her body, she carefully picked a few pieces that looked easy to carry but not too much to exaggerate, which would make taking it back difficult anyway. Once done, Shinigami returned to Umi. "These should be good. We may head back to your room now. Some time by ourselves might be good and I doubt we will be disturbed this time... Jumi will be away.", she said.

Nall found the request strange but upon explanation, it started making sense. Hearing that Mitsuko was naked was not a surprise anymore with these girls but perhaps what he felt about her was why he did not mind. Something Mitsuko reminded him of. He did not waste too much time and closed his eyes, his wings apparently flapping on their own to keep him in the air. A small light surrounded him for a moment as he did that. "I can't feel it it anywhere nearby anymore but it's odd, it's like it's gone. Lenneth can't have taken it, though. She tried before but that girl fought her back. If she is in a machine, it might stop me from feeling it.", he said as he opened his eyes. "It might be with her...", he concluded. Shinigami shifted her gaze back to Umi as she asked if the girl might be safe. "I am not sure, with her. She asked me if I trusted her and she could have left with her anytime without me being able to stop her so I don't think she is in danger. She was hurt, though... This is why she was taken. She only believed herself capable to heal her. I can't say I blame her but I knew a human girl capable of healing. I think it was not the same, though.", she explained before she got up from bed and gave herself a big stretch, uncaring about her own nudity. "I can eat on the way if you have something. I think I am still in shape to continue with you. If you don't mind, I will stay this way.", she teased and started leaving naked.

Nall listened, came closer and shut his mouth for now but as Jumi started going in the juice stuff quickly enough, he found himself gasping at first to straight look terrified when he heard the news of their friend just being gone. He was doing a monumental effort then to not say something but just stayed frozen, staring, watching and most importantly, listening. And if that was not enough, the story was not going on a better path, as it seemed. Reika had invaded Jumi's dream afterwards and fought? But then, the fairy calmly explained that something peaceful had happened between them. Still, the girl he was entrust with to protect was gone, after almost having lost her to Shinigami the first time as well... "...Althena will not like this... She sent me exactly to make sure that she would be safely guided and I almost failed on day 1...", he whimpered, his head and hears dropping. "But if you say she will be back, I will do my best to help. That cat was scary though... I hope we can trust her. Whatever happened, Mitsuko has to be fine but if Lenneth does not get the sword of Althena, we should have more time. I think she must be lost because we keep moving around and with her gone, there is no way for her to tell where she is. This might work well for us...", he finally said in a swing of positivity. Something to cling on with all of what was happening. Escaping Lenneth was never made easier. They should be safe. Mao carefully listened back and only gave a short nod before she would fly back toward Jumi and the cat but otherwise, letting a distance between them to let them finish. Inside the room, Shinigami was still laying and clean, no signs of fighting or anything inappropriate in sight, not even a smell if not a clean scent from the vixen's fur and bed the two girls had slept on. Finally turning her head to see Umi, she sat up slowly, her tail calming down this time. "Good... I don't know if it will be needed but I will give you the power I have so you can study it.", she replied. Finally questioned about that time, her gaze fleeted away. "Mitsuko is gone... Taken away by that girl. It's a long story, though...", she told her.

Shinigami simply took the kiss and remained laid on the bed on her own, her tail swayed gently while she relaxed. At least the small time that they have had together had went rather well. Some issues still needed to be cleared up with Reika having Mitsuko but if Jumi was right, they would get news of that later. For now, she would wait while the two others left the room. A call was given out but Mao stayed floating near her, having no idea who she referred to if not maybe that strangely winged cat like creature. Nall came out to answer the call, seemingly having waited not far from the room to speak to one of them as soon as possible. His eyes stared at the neko, though. "Careful, Jumi...! It's her again!", he shouted. Mao only stared back but eyed toward Jumi to let her deal with it before her attention got drawn elsewhere. A girl she was looking for, or at least one that fit the description, came toward them. Leaving the two to their conversation, Mao flew toward Umi but without any hostility only to stop a short distance from her in the air, looking at her clothes first before she shifted to look at her directly. "Shinigami has a message. She is waiting but... She wanted you to know that they are fine.", she only said, leaving out from the message what the vixen didn't want her to share yet. A bit later than intended but maybe she would still reassure Umi about what had happened before. "You can find her in that room...", she told her.

Shinigami melted a bit before Jumi, who figured her out quicker than she realized herself. A light pout on her face but otherwise, a kiss on her forehead while her tail wagged a bit behind herself. The two girls were driving her into being more and more tame, at least when it came to them and their friends. Even without Mitsuko being there, she could guess what that girl would think of what Jumi said. "I did and I look forward to it... But for you, I'll be glad to feed you again, if you wish...", she told the fairy. Something about her even asking for more was cute and the feeling of the feeding itself was otherwise a pretty good experience. Still, Shinigami could hardly not think about Reika. Her meaning in all this... Mao did well to interrupt them, appearing casually in their room as she did. Her and the annoying cat had at least met, again. If he alerted Umi anyhow, she might ask questions. At least, Jumi was going to take care of things, seemingly with the both of them. Shinigami watched her stand and transform, a fancy thing humans could do in a similar way that she did, to magically dress up. Mao kept watching her, soon obeying her and lifting off again but curious about what she meant about Reika, her mistress. She would follow closely, as it probably was safer this way. The vixen remained in bed for now, showing herself shamelessly. "If she is coming here, I will be waiting for her, then. It will be easier.", she said.

Shinigami didn't question Jumi's methods, letting her searching however she liked and so, she only nodded. As long as she was not alone to leave the temple, things should be fine. If she brought both familiars, she might get help while keeping an eye on them. For the next part, the fairy's teasing words made even the fox blush a bit. "Meal...", she shortly said before she realized Jumi spoke of the milk, "Well... You know my body recovers quickly. I don't know what it can do to you, though. I don't mean what power I share to you when you drink from me and from a kiss. Besides...", she started, looking away a bit, "I hoped that Mitsuko might have a taste as well... Having you both there at once...", she slowly clarified. Shinigami barely could understand how special of a beast she was, being able to provide many sexual means but also milk, but that came with the weakness of having to deal with thirsty enemies who were not aware of her existence yet. Some who might enjoy very much to abuse of that goodness, may it be some tentacles or demons. A world Shinigami was still mostly unaware of, having been stuck to live mostly with Reika and Mao. She knew of them but with limited knowledge of exactly what they were after and how "magical" humans could really be, only seeing them as humans with powers. Mitsuko and Jumi had made her discover a little more of it and they both wanted her to be safe in that world of theirs. With Jumi wondering if she could now tell Nall, Shinigami had to think for a bit but ended giving her a nod. "Do as you see it... He might panic, though. I trust you will be able to keep him under control.", she then said. Already that seeing Mao might not help, not at first. As for Reika, Shinigami mostly trusted Jumi herself to be cautious. She didn't want her caught in something out of her control. Before long, Mao soon popped inside the room through one of her teleportation tricks, floating above the floor. Her eyes soon noticing the two being awake, she moved closer to them and landed sitting on the bed. "The cat knows that I'm here... I don't think he liked it.", she said to them, letting them know the situation.

Shinigami frowned lightly. She knew she saw the girl with it once or twice in the manor, even once during sex, hanging at her neck. She was not thinking about it back then. "If she had it on her neck when she was put inside, this might turn interesting... If you don't know of what I talk about then I doubt you have noticed anything out of place but... To answer you, I only remember little myself. A loud sound or a different way for Reika to behave. Floating inside that tank, you don't hear much but a muffled sound from outside. She is the first human I woke up to and she claimed to be my mother, Death. When I was finally out, I think every single ones of my holes leaked for a while.", Shinigami explained and winced. After that, Shinigami finally turned around to face Jumi as she heard her plan. "So you go to the city and I stay here... You should bring Mao or the twerp with you. Not a bad plan to find this girl and finish with her. I feel a little better but a little sore, thanks to you.", she playfully teased. Still, it appeared like Jumi had heard a lot of about the reaper. Her full name, more importantly. The academy did not mean much to the vixen but it was worth checking it out. "Right... You do that, then. Be careful if she talks to you again. Stay sharp with what she might show you or say to you.", Shinigami warned. She wanted to trust the reaper but the girl did not make it easy to figure out what she was doing and she did lie before.

The most important thing was both expected and at the same time, surprising to hear. "She used the life tank on Mitsuko. So this is what she was planning... Did she have that sword relic with her? Did you see it or anything odd with the machine when she showed it to you?", Shinigami asked with a calm voice but still pressed, having a certain feeling. Ignoring what their conversation really was about, she had to ask to make sure of something based on what she was told now. "That sly girl is ignoring all the rules to play her own game...", she commented, starting to understand what Reika meant, based on what Jumi reported her saying anyway. "I think you will not be disappointed...", the vixen replied to the next part. More to the affection Jumi seemed to have for her, Shinigami gladly welcomed the attention while she was being reminded of what they were trying to achieve. "Good to hear that you want to go on with that idea of yours. But fine, until then, I will be a good girl and won't cause troubles for humans. If they behave then I will... All you need to do is give me a bathtub I can use freely and maybe some of that food you humans eat. But I think we should not rush to conclusions just yet... When are you supposed to see Reika again...?", Shinigami finally queried, believing that the reaper wouldn't just disappear easily. If she had a connection of sort with Jumi then surely she would see her again. This alone brought questions.

Shinigami listened, not without a bit of concern after learning that Reika, surely, visited her. There was some confusion about Jumi claiming to have slept well, though. The two sounded like they would not get along the last time, even if they had separated while Shinigami was having sex... Some things had changed between her and Jumi and it sounded like the same had happened between Reika and her, as well. The fox had no real response but the reveal about the reaper telling her feelings about her, apparently with Jumi alone, left her mouth agape a little. Not in worry or anything but to hear that they had such a conversation surprised her. How much had they really spoke for? How much did Jumi really know...? "She did... I don't think she lied but she claimed that Mitsuko was not doing well.", she started explaining, laying down on her back near Jumi. "I was not sure what her intentions were toward you, before we escaped. Reika likes her games... She might not have reacted the same way if I had not destroyed the manor. It was a temporary mean to put you to safety from her. I do think she loved me, though. I must have hurt her feelings by doing this but she and Mao were not in danger.", she said, sighing as she might have overreacted. A lot of the things that had happened were from a fear to lose something. What value was more valuable to her at the time... Betraying Reika, mainly, for her feelings for two magical girls. "It's complicated.", Shinigami replied, staring at the ceiling. All could probably be forgiven but she was not sure if she wanted to find her old powers again, if that was possible. It may have been part of who she was but she never had felt more alive now, partly thanks to what punishment she had received that had made her feel limp and weak, relying solely on that stupid girl carrying her and Jumi with her to recover, find some new fun with them and that Nymphia girl. Something that she had not thought possible. "I cannot run from her and I cannot leave you. I don't know what Death wants with me but she is going to follow me. She has Mitsuko, now...", she said and sighed, turning her back to Jumi, looking away...

Reika's mind returned to her own body, having set herself down for the experience. A soft smile on her lips as she had been invited by none other than Jumi, the girl she was bound to hate, to have another time together. Death had always been generous but these kinds of deals were not the same. Shinigami was the only other one girl she could have a close time with, unlike Mao who only served as her pet if anything. She had felt some surprisingly close time with both Mitsuko and her friend now. Words were spit and pain was given but despite that, she was still welcomed after all of that. But not yet. She had given what information Jumi had needed to find more about her. Would she still welcome her, then...? On the other side, an awake fox was holding Jumi close, looking concerned. Physical damage had no impact on her real body but most certainly, Jumi had been disturbed while sleeping. Without knowing about the dream, Shinigami could only guess what she had been through. What she feared... What she had witnessed. What Reika had done before leaving the room. The vixen used her clean body to feel Jumi with it, rub her skin gently and she held her close and allowed her to rest while the last part of her dream probably calmed her. "...Are you alright, Jumi? I feel bad for letting her go but Reika said that she was not doing well... I know she can help her without, I hope, hurting her...", she said to the fairy calmly. Mao, on her side, roamed the hallways while flying around in a not so subtle way. Her golden eyes scanned the surrounding as she searched for that one person in particular. From everyone's side, the girls were probably gone for a while now but resting except for the part where Umi had to accompany the fox in a hurry. What happened after that with that information was unknown to the catgirl as she was not there but she was on a mission for now. Nall was soon seen flying around but stopped in the air, gasping loudly at the sight of her. "You again...! Not good!", he shouted before he flew elsewhere, to check on the others and Mitsuko or to alert someone. The neko watched him but went on her way for now.

"My choice...? Are you really asking from me what you accused me of letting Mitsuko ask? You know, I have some troubles trying to figure what is happening in your fun little head. Besides, was I not completely honest with you, with my feelings just now? But yes, I will moderate my hungry beasts. I presume you do not have the same gift as she does... Not everyone can take these feisty ones but I would not worry too much. On a normal human, they are not as much of a threat. Tentacles try to adapt to their victims and they normally do that so well... What a surprise it was to see what they did to Mitsuko.", Reika commented, assuming that Jumi knew about it, or did she? What she had seen while she was in the liquid chamber was something unexpected even if the girl's heart rate was otherwise normal. "The girl was indeed not ready...", she remarked with a sigh. "The fact that she lasted this long and only complained about wanting a break is either a good or bad news... Her strength gave in in the middle and the pain must have made her black out before the end.", she murmured with sadness. Taking a good look at Jumi, she hesitated a bit. "For what it's worth, I am sorry...", she tried to at least give the girl's closest friend a proper apology even if she was probably going to be mostly fine at the end. "As for you, I think we are beyond lies now. We've had some games but I will make sure our next one is one you like. If you really want this between us two alone then so be it... I can't complain about the time we've spent in your head so far... You will remember most if not all of it when you wake up... You're free to share what you've felt and seen with Lady Shinigami. You might have to if she asks.", she said, keeping close to her still. To the final part, Reika offered her a warm embrace, being herself dressed. "I need time to watch Mitsuko but I will pay a visit sometimes to give you an update... Enjoy the fluffy fox in the meantime. I am sure she will fulfill your needs, along with Mao if you have any requests for her. Don't hesitate and relax. By the way, I am leaving but without offering you an apple this time... Your dream goes on, only without me. I had a good time...", she said, finally vanishing.

Reika had a feeling that if she had tried to do anything with her, that night, chances were that she would have found her face bitten of... Until this moment, added to the intense and rather violent moment of before, it was the first time she felt an actually comfortable embrace with Jumi. A small joy in death, with how lonely her life was now. Hearing that Jumi did enjoy her appearance at least worked to give the fairy a smile. Shinigami was right on one thing, she liked games. But not right now. At this moment, Jumi and Mitsuko made her find a little something else to enjoy. "Hmm... Alright, then. I might think about it and give us something to feel good about. I've played my role of punisher a little too well for now... Maybe I will tone it down a bit. I will never let what Mitsuko went through happen again. It was my mistake to treat her like Lady Shinigami even if I did hold back. The heat of the moment and some frustration blinded me... Her resistance fooled me. Whichever reason that cat is after her, her power is a blessing and a curse. Cliche, isn't it? I forgot she was still partly human.", she confessed. Part of Reika believed that Mitsuko could really be more than just a human. She was gifted with much innocence, beauty, youth and strength... Perhaps it explained the reason why that catgirl was there or why Nall followed them if he wasn't with Jumi originally. Them being in the temple of a god felt so predictable in this regard... The reaper would soon or later find out. "It's good to see you get a chance to get along with her, then. She will be harmless if she is not attacked but she is smart and will hide if she must, first.", Reika explained. Soon the image of the dream changed to that gate, open. No rain, this time. No storms. A bright sun as the city constructed itself before their gaze, whether it was real or not. Just a vision, after all. The vision showed the reaper and Jumi together, both dressed in similar kind of clothes, making Reika blink. Not exactly how she had imagined Jumi, especially after having seen her naked more than enough times now. "Black is not bad on you... A robe floating to the wind, letting the feeling of it brush your skin... Not a bad dream but I should leave you to sleep.", she said.

The words made Reika move back for a moment to look at Jumi's eyes. "Look at you pitying the emissary of death and letting her do whatever she wants...", she spoke with a small grin. "You are still naked and trying to tease me. To be honest, I did think a part of what I said before... You and Mitsuko are sexy to look at and I think I know why Lady Shinigami enjoy you so much. It's not only your body... I think you will like to see Mitsuko when she comes back to you, though..." Hugging Jumi close still, she held her close again. "I enjoy tentacles as much as most people deny to do so but I think I have to punish them next for going too far this time. I suppose we will see when we next meet... Until then...", she said. Something popped in Reika's mind as she finally thought. "Ah yes, Mao will be staying with you until Mitsuko is ready to come back. I trust she is taking care of you? She can be a little clingy but she makes a good servant. I originally left her there to keep an eye on you but I might cut her some slack, after all. A time away with you should do her well...", she told Jumi, unaware of what they had done while she was away. Another servant of death or at least familiar or pet of Reika. "She was not really in your dream, by the way, so do not blame her for what you've seen... All of it was an illusion made up inside your dream. She might or not enjoy head scratches...", Reika playfully said at the end, to explain her presence. As Jumi finally tried to channel a dream of sort, the void rippled into a new shape but looked mostly foggy and not clear. "What are you trying to do...?", Reika asked, looking around as the city formed, with strange shapes floating around like balloons. The vision did not feel too stable yet and the reaper was not doing much to affect it, currently only fueled by the sleeping girl. Nothing of it looked specific or anything detailed except for a vision of a Reika with or without her deathly garments. What she wore, how she was hairdressed, probably would be shaped by Jumi herself as the dream tried to go by what she was imagining at the moment. The reaper kept quiet for now, only holding the fairy close to watch.

Reika rolled her eyes but not in a mean way, smiling to it even. "I already punished my and your love and you want a turn next...? Remember who I serve but also remember that I'm no demon. There might be things that we have in common but we only make the end of life a beautiful thing. Though, this might not be a beautiful thing in your eyes. I am here because I chose death...", she said with a calmness mixed with mischievousness in her voice. "However... I will think about your offer. I can make it feel good for you... Maybe give you another chance to cum at your heart's content.", Reika then said, smiling a bit, still holding her close against her own body. Maybe a bond between them could come to exist... "A game you might not enjoy but it will tell you more of what you want to know...", the reaper replied to the next question. More about Mitsuko, this was a complicated question. She would not be able to just return quickly. She had to be monitored... "After her rebirth... I will need to see how she reacts to everything. I will need some time with her... I will keep you updated, in here...", she suggested, rubbing her cheek against Jumi's as she was talking to her ear anyway. What made it that she suddenly was so tame with her, she wasn't sure but she enjoyed it. "A few days, a week... She will be a little goddess for you, when you see her... I can't spoil everything now, can I...?", the reaper teased Jumi, hugging her. As for the last part, Reika sighed softly but kept a smile, "No fantasy in your dream, at least no sexual fantasy... Unless you want to find yourself having an orgasm while you sleep. Your body might have not liked being stabbed, even in your dream. Hopefully Lady Shinigami is there for you. You must have calmed down because she did not try to wake you up just yet... Or she is a tough sleeper. All I can do is to give you a vision that you might enjoy... Make you at peace. I can't control your dreams the way you think but our connection makes your dreams a strong place to play with. Imagine where you want to be. I don't mind staying a little longer but I have places to be and a goddess to watch.", she told her.

Reika nodded to the first comment. An order given to her by death so Shinigami would not be confused or lost by too much at once. She was never a good mother. Too young and inexperienced for it but she loved the fox nonetheless. Only differently. As the reaper kept holding Jumi in her hands, standing in the void, the fairy started being getting a little friendly with her, admitting her fears, especially when it came to Mitsuko. Something that made Reika bite her lip again. The girl apologized to her, the emissary of death. Whether she was alive or not, she still felt it in whatever soul she had left. "I guess it was really mean to show you Mitsuko suffer like this... Or to give you a false vision of her joining me.", she said. Pulling Jumi closer in her grasp, Reika gave her a tender lick against her chest wound, suddenly making it disappear like nothing ever had stabbed her. Whatever pain left would stop existing. "Shinigami can be quite scary when she tries... Death made her with his gifts to humanity. A perfect and most powerful being... One with the power to control these powers freely. And she went and hid them away only to destroy the very home that housed them to save you from me... She really must have cared about you.", Reika said painfully but continued, "Death can't create life so something else had to be done. He can only create a body, a shape but life itself requires souls and a mean to fuse them.", she still explained. As she did, the void showed an image of a resting Shinigami in the same chamber as Mitsuko was inside now. A fox floating in the liquid, with the same tube stuck to her muzzle. Nothing else. Jumi tried to explain why she didn't trust her and Reika could hardly blame her. "I told you, didn't I...? I'm not a good girl. You are making Lady Shinigami a good girl and Death decided to let her go. As you told me, she made her choice...", she said with a tone of pain in her voice again. "...That equipment... It was in the room that you could not access in the manor. The place where Shinigami was born but it was not only her... Other experiences happened in there and one of them did have its fun with her.", she told the fairy. There was more to it, of course. More to that story, more to her own story. Finally putting Jumi down on her feet, Reika embraced her for a moment and whispered to her ear. "I am only an emissary who is feeling the consequences of her actions now. A pain that's not new to me... I thought Death was giving me a gift but maybe it was never mine to begin with. Didn't I say so...? If you really wish to know more about me, please do me a favor... A task if you will... Find the main academy of the city then seek for the name "Reika Kuroha". Ask questions, find what happened... Something to distract you while you wait for your little goddess. For now, it's your dream... What would you like to see...?", the reaper asked Jumi.

Ignoring that she was getting called out on her abuse of a new girl, Reika preferred to remain quiet about it. Her being new was the reason she had stuck with her the whole time during sex. It was not only to feel her close and fulfill some lesbian fantasies of the valkyrie or perhaps her own... For now, she focused entirely on the scene playing before them. Clearly, Reika still had reasons to stick to what she had told Shinigami. Too different... Or so she thought. Mitsuko had played an innocent dominance on her and it felt fun for a moment but Jumi did not sound like she was going to let go of her sins, taking all of it so seriously. Even if it was not mutual, Reika at least enjoyed the little things she did to the fairy. Holding her close was something else interesting and while she did, she allowed Jumi to watch, perhaps expecting that questions would come up and so they did. A soft sigh escaped her lips but she would respond. "It will not transform her into a monster or a demon... Think about what she felt just before, her body drowned in that chamber and filling every holes you could imagine. When she wakes up, she will be floating in that same chamber, in that same condition. She might panic...", she explained, as patiently as she could. "Now, born anew, because that liquid inside her will be eliminating all the fluids of the tentacles. Unfortunately, yours as well... It will repair every single little parts of her.", she clarified. While all of this made it sound like it was only healing, she felt the need to continue, "It might improve her condition as a whole... She will feel younger and stronger. Besides, when she leaves this chamber, she might look like she is birthing... Born anew. If she is blessed by a goddess, she might soon feel like one. No, death won't be involved in the process, as beautiful as that would be. Her cells might die and reborn but that will be all. I envy you... A goddess of death and now a goddess of life...", she said sarcastically but still with a certain annoyance, thinking about Shinigami. Which reminded her. "Shinigami did go in that chamber as well... It was first made for her. To bring her to life...", she explained to Jumi.

Reika scoffed at Jumi's words. "I did not mean in your head...", she muttered, thinking these threats for when the both of them faced each others. "Besides, she asked for them, you stupid girl... She begged for them. She was so new at it that she wanted the feeling of them, to endure more than she ever could... She saw Lady Shinigami be punished, she knew what she was getting into...", she lectured the fairy about her choice but looked away, enjoying the feeling of Jumi's belly for now. "I did promise that I would not go too far, didn't I...? They went hard on her but I thought she would be alright. She had put up quite a fight while taking them. Stupid girls... Both of us.", she muttered again, rubbing her stomach. "It was not about you anymore, girl...", Reika soon replied to the fairy with her front turned toward her, her cheek against her belly. "You told me that you weren't trusting me so I asked my Lady... She is the only one I can count on, despite everything. She... seems to love her, that Mitsuko... A kindness toward her that I've never seen before except for Mao. This is why I felt bad for what I allowed to happen to her... These stupid visions were only meant to make you suffer.", she admitted. "...She will be fine...". Turning her head, Reika kissed her stomach close to her navel then moved and carefully picked her up for the next part. "Watch and shut up...", she told her before she made the void change to a new vision. A new room appeared while Reika held Jumi close, an arm under her back and another under her knees to let her butt and feet hang down. The reaper was now standing with her in a room that looked like an old lab with a large tube in the center. The vision showed the first time the naked reaper brought a weak but messy Mitsuko there. Looking focused on her task, that Reika went to open the tube before she put the valkyrie inside on its floor. "That will not be fun but I promise it will help you...", the nude reaper said while working on plugging a tube of sort to her mouth before she stepped back. "Subject, Mitsuko. Activate it now!", she ordered, the gate of the tube soon closed and started filling with liquid. The Reika with Jumi remained awfully quiet, letting her watch the vision as it continued, showing a difficult moment where the valkyrie was locked in a liquid tank with nothing but a pipe mask of sort in her throat to breathe. Even unconscious, a few moans and physical twitch could be noticed as she was made to float in its core, her holes ejecting all of the fluids with the liquid infiltrating her easily. A sound then could be heard, seeming to be her heart rate. The nude Reika sighing. "...Subject Mitsuko alive and in process of recovery. The tentacles caused a worse trauma than expected, stretching her holes beyond their capacities. I will have her rest in the healing chamber for a while...", she said as status record. Still, the nude reaper observed Mitsuko for a moment, biting her lip, as if she was feeling some regret back from where she was with her in the bed just before. "She will be in for a rough awakening but it must be done... We will talk later when you're born anew. Hopefully, you won't remember the pain...", she finally said, leaving her in there to seemingly sleep inside, the tube being directly connected to her but impossible to remove if the tank was not unlocked and opened. As the vision soon faded, Reika looked down at Jumi, holding her still. "Happy, now? I am keeping an eye on her... The tentacles did quite a number on her but that will be gone after she is done. The little goddess will be safe.", she assured.

Reika grinned to the irritable reply she had expected. "I don't have patience. It would not have lead anywhere but the same result. I could have given you hope for a good life but I'm not here for that.", she told to her girl she held, as everything else around faded slowly to nothingness. An infinite void without floors or walls and yet their feet stood on something. Besides her look of disdain, Jumi might also see a look of slight regret, not that the fairy really was dying but the pain was very real. As Reika was called out on her watching, she bit her lip. "Seeing you watch her writhe in pain the way you found her. That was a beauty on its own... You didn't like her coming to me, did you? Feel what Shinigami felt?", she asked. The mention of Shinigami having made her choice made Reika rip the knife out of her chest and push Jumi against whatever ground existed, only to straddle her and put her knife against her throat. "You have no idea how painful it was to see Lady Shinigami do this to me, follow you and play with you, only having eyes for you two now while I waited for a promised time with her...", she hissed with clenched teeth, soon groaning and lifting the knife to stab her but instead, after a moment of hesitation, stabbed near her head at the void, giving a painful sigh as she somehow left the knife jammed there, stuck into the void. (?)"...You want to know where Mitsuko is...? You might laugh if you knew...", she pathetically said. Moving slowly from on top of Jumi, Reika laid on the ground near her and laid her head on her stomach casually. "There's so much I could be doing to you... Offer you to death, slice your head off and just be done but she would be pretty upset if I did that...", she said, just floating in the void with Jumi for a moment. "...You piss me off so much... She might never forgive me but I really do love her. I tried to be kind to you once and you still did not take it... I offered you the pleasure you seeked so much and I was answered with mistrust and the painful sight of you taking Lady Shinigami away from me. I am a bad girl alright... But... Mitsuko will live. I can show you where she is but you might not like it.", she finally said.

Mitsuko seemed to play along flawlessly as she nodded to her friend. "We were, weren't we? Imagine thinking about something like this before we've met with Reika... Or before I met you.", she said softly as she kept guiding Jumi. "We will be stronger than before... Nobody to stop us, not even that warrior girl.", she continued then looked back to her friend as she was asked a question, "A final test, hm? I do not think so. Reika is proud of us and so is he... Once we die, we will have succeeded. He will bring us back together... We won't be like demons, we will be better. Or I think so...", she replied, leading Jumi to the floor below before she looked at her and gave her a hug. "It will be alright...", Mitsuko reassured her. Reika appeared from a room and smiled to the two lovers, "Look at how the link with death made you two so good looking... So confident and sexy, almost better than me. It will be alright, right?", she said with a silky voice as she looked at them then at Jumi with a smirk. "Mitsuko, go get ready with Shinigami... Nothing like a last bit of mating while you're still alive, right?", she teased the valkyrie, whose face reddened a bit before she kissed Jumi and let go of her. "Y-you're right... I'd like that.", she replied before leaving but not without giving the fairy a last smile. Reika moved close to Jumi. "How do you enjoy the realm of death so far...? Is it more like a dream or perhaps... a ክጎፏⶴፕጮልዪቹ?", she said, stabbing her. A swift movement with her hand, a knife that was hidden out of sight until the very last second, now lodged in her heart but Reika held her in her grasp with her other arm. "...No happy ending for you. Not after you stole Shinigami from me... I told you that I'd make you mine. I want you to suffer without end... What do you think Mitsuko really is doing right now? Am I leaving her to suffer in a pit of tentacles until her last breath or will she live with me without you being able to do anything about it... What do you fear the most?", she spoke smoothly then licked Jumi's face. "ጋዐ ሃዐ፱ ቻቹልዪ ጋቹልፕⶴ?", she asked then continued, "ጋዐ ሃዐ፱ ቻቹልዪ ጮቹ?", she asked again, giving her look of disdain to her just like before.

After Mitsuko was done pulling Jumi so they could stand on their feet, she moved her head to the side. "Ah... For the best, then. Nightmares are not fun when they happen but it's nice to forget them after we wake up.", she replied, looking happy to be with her as well. "You know... Mine were not fun... The fear of losing you... Losing Shinigami... Seeing you all ጋie. I sometimes woke up crying, only to find one of you holding me close. You remember, no?", she asked and kept holding the fairy's hand as she walked, ignoring that they were completely naked while she left the room. The floor was mostly carpets and would feel soft to their bare feet. Mao waited to come fix the room but Mitsuko scratched her head a bit. A moment later and letting the catgirl go, the valkyrie turned to Jumi. "A moment we waited for... Rቹika thinks we might be ready. It was Shinigami's idea, too...", she said, pulling gently on Jumi to follow to the other side of the hallway, apparently on the second floor of this home. A manor very similar to one Jumi already had seen. "The dልy we can finally give our lives to be together forever.", she said with a perfectly sincere smile, squeezing Jumi's hand as she spoke, leading her to the stairs. "If you did not forget, Reika taught us that death is not the end but the beginning... If we welcome iፕ then we will always be together. All we need to do is take each others' life.", Mitsuko explained. "Shinigami will be watcⶴing."

Mao observed what was going on but otherwise didn't move. The very quiet laughter could be heard again in response to Jumi's anger but mostly covered by Mitsuko's extremely painful moans crying for help, her hand still extended toward her, shaking, hoping, praying without heavenly responses, her fingers grasping desperately at the air for something... A hand to help her or finish her, put her out of her misery. Her body, for what was visible of it, looked visibly in pain and her torture continued seemingly forever, with marks of soreness all over. The tentacles reacted to Jumi's approach but even if they were ready to lunge, she would reach the hand first, one that grabbed her back very tightly, not letting go. At that very moment however, Jumi would feel like her mind collapsed, blacking out as everything around her faded with a terrible dizziness. Only the feeling of Mitsuko's hand remained, loosening her grip on her hand by the time Jumi would open her eyes again. A nude Mitsuko standing and leaning over her while Jumi would find herself likewise but laying in a bed. "...Having nightmares again, Jumi...?", she asked, holding her friend's hand while she slept? A soft smile on her face, present for her. The room where they were looked like a castle or a manor's bedroom. "It's normal, at first... I've had them as well. We get used to it, though... Come. We have to start, soon...", Mitsuko said, pulling her gently to stand.

Mao was not going to make her wait, clearly not there to stall but the voice would sound familiar to Jumi. A very faint laughter echoed in the distance, barely audible but not fazing Mao who flew ahead, as if she understood the hurry. The cries of distress and nasty sounds of squishing accompanied to them started to get closer as they went, the catgirl guided her through turns and other hallways. Moaning sounds could be heard but also exhausted cries of pain until they arrived to a certain larger and well lit room with a tentacle pool and squelching creatures surrounding a helpless girl. Mitsuko was stuck in its middle, savagely raped by many of them at once while every inches of her body were stained by cum. As soon as Jumi appeared in the room, nothing but horrified eyes staring toward her. "...J-jumi! JUMI...!!", she screamed, her eyes soon desperately imploring for help, "...P-please...!!", she started before one tentacle moved fast and thrust inside her throat to shut her up. A hand extended toward the fairy, shaking but begging for her friend to get her out of there. Nothing of this looked as "friendly" as it was for when she and Reika were experiencing it and even Shinigami's punishment probably did not feel this horrible and nasty, leaving absolutely no chance for her to get a breather. Cruel torture was all it was. Mao eyed Jumi but only moved away to give her space. Jumi also would have no magic in this location.
