Author notes;

  Please see previous chapter's 'not a chapter survey'. Thank you.

  PS; This chapter is over 12,000 words...this chapter is a book by itself. Hope readers get the driver to have a big story with a big world. ;) Well, it got so big I had to split it up. It seems its easier for readers this way. Its hard to edit a big chapter also.

  Thanks.

  Chapter 164 Part A

  Shun point of view;

  Before waking up I fed some more.

  We replenished my shrinking supply of canteens of (pet type) ghoul breast milk. But we always worry that it’s not enough. It’s like having fries or a drink with no other parts in the combo meal and getting small sizes only, because I need more and more. And I’m always thirsty, so much that I can hardly stand it.

  The information on the effects of my fluids on Doppel-chan for now is inconclusive. We have kept trying to dose her but she’s still too dangerous to be let out of the cage but there is definitely a freaky excited reaction now.

  I was partly disappointed in some ways but excited in others. There is some reaction but she’s not converted yet. And Doppel-chan clearly is a demon.

  My reasoning is trying to figure out;

  Can with proper conditioning Doppel-chan be turned back towards the light?

  This is also an idea Asakura and Sylvie want as well.

  But it’s clear that Doppel-chan is clearly too dangerous to let go. Were I to let her go in a human city, I’m not even sure there would be a single survivor. She’s really that strong and that evil at the moment. But she’s also too much for me to handle in most ways, ...except with both milk and pheromones together.

  She needs coaching to become good.

  She currently has a lot of homicidal thoughts and intention to do harm against humans it seems, but not to other demons. She is unable to resist the pheromone ‘elixir’; therefore we have a chink in her armor that we can try to exploit for goodness and being an ally of justice. And since she’s stronger than me, then shouldn’t it be appropriate that I would try to also train her also to become an ally of justice?

  By working with and trying to dose Doppel-chan with pheromones I can also introduce subliminally good thoughts and good tendencies into her personality with positive reinforcement, and positive imagery when she feeds or gets fed my pheromone ‘elixirs’.

  When we feed her the ‘elixir’, she’s become greedy for it after the first dosage.

  The first dosage went like this;

  She did thrash around like a drunk cat for a good minute or so. Then she bounced off the walls, and peed herself while banging on the bars of the cage like someone had shot her full of a huge dose of sugar and adrenaline at the same time.

  But then she passed out after going through a violent tantrum. And she’s too dangerous for us to go look at her up close or risk touching her so we don’t know how far this has gone yet, nor if she will have mood swings. Her eyes are rolled back in her head with an open fish mouth look on her face with her tongue lolling out to the side as her naked body y on the floor, still looking very much like a smaller version of Sylvie at the moment.

  She’s too strong for us to feel sorry for.

  Jeez, what a monster!

  How many forms does she have anyway?

  We still don’t know if she has some secret form that she hasn’t shown us. If she does I hope it’s not some ugly critter.

  “That was…unexpected,” Asakura said in a very tight lipped dignified way. She’s dressed mostly but still has milk leaking through her tight shirt, from just finishing getting us the milk that we’d used on her.

  “I guess that means it works?” Sylvie teased while touching me in a certain pce. Sylvie is also barely dressed now if you can call it that. She’s got the tight short booty shorts on now but because of her height there’s an added effect of them looking more like daisy duke style extreme risque shorts that pretty much show all her ass cheeks. And her school uniform blouse is being worn but none of the buttons are done up.

  “I didn’t do that did I? That looks so undignified,” Asakura noted.

  “Oh no, trust me you are fine,” I said.

  “Thank goodness,” Asakura blushed.

  “But having an experience like that sounds fun,” Sylvie said with an excited squeal.

  “Oh that’s so true huh? I guess I was over thinking things. As long as there’s love its OK?” Asakura also squealed in delight.

  “You guys are funny. Thanks for being with me,” I squeezed both of their hands affectionately.

  Sylvie and I giggled at her reaction.

  Now we wait.

  It will take time to get Doppel-chan ‘domesticated’. We’ll have to do this every day probably for weeks even.

  ...

  After falling back asleep I find myself in the room at the Inn when morning hits.

  Right…

  Busy day…

  When I wake up a very hot, young looking busty Sunghee is naked and giving me a blow job in bed. Between strokes of her jaw trying to obscenely take on my huge size it her breasts shake and wiggle like jell-O every time she goes down. It also looks like she might dislocate her jaw because of my size but she’s managing it somehow, and enjoying it.

  So was that why I woke up? I think it’s slightly earlier than normal.

  “What? Is something wrong?” she asked while giving me a wicked smile.

  “No, no its nothing. Please go ahead,” I said.

  “Good, because I wasn’t going to shhhhtop anyway,” she slurped. She goes back to licking it like a Popsicle. But she almost choked trying to take too much of it.

  “Try to ease up. You don’t have to try to take so much at one time. I don’t want you to get hurt,” I said.

  “Easy for you to say. I can’t help it. I missed a few turns while you had me put away and that’s unfair you know? This thing is addicting,” she said with a smirk.

  After a few more hours of feeding and making Rina beg for it we go down to the inn to settle my bill.

  We’ve also had to go down ter and with more preparation. My name is starting to become a bit known in the city so we have to make sure there’s a bouncer in the inn dining room tely to keep away beggars and attention seeking people. Some of them have taken habits of trying to sell stuff to us like themselves, their children, or adventurer newbie groups begging for me to take them out to fight and help them earn money. And there are others that are worse than that, which seem sinister in nature like wanting duels.

  It seems like I can’t really get much rest tely and it’s become annoying so we have to be more careful moving around town. But it also means that the Inn has been giving us luxurious wines and fruit with our breakfasts at no additional cost to keep us here. And having famous people in your inn means others want to eat their and stay there too, which is their main goal.

  While the girls are eating breakfast I’m talking with Gyle, who has already stuffed himself silly.

  As usual Gyle has been helpful in being a pretty good attendant.

  I had to keep nudging Sunghee under the table while they are eating because she had this shit faced grin on her face the whole time from the euphoria of recent sex. Sometimes she stares at me too long, so I need to be careful of that. People notice if you have this spaced out look for too long; although if its only small burst then they think you are just in love.

  “Any new business that hasn’t been addressed yet?” I asked, doing it like I usually do it, which is kind of like how a bunch of managers in a top company management and executive meeting might go over orders of business.

  I expect Sunghee and Rina to listen and contribute even though they are eating. There’s the chance Sunghee’s vast experience will contribute somehow too and she can think of things that I don’t.

  Rina has less chance to be able to contribute but still is very energetic and wants to do so. Actually being energetic and wanting to contribute has set a good mood for this kind of dialogue.

  “Three new adventuring teams have requested team up sessions with you through officially done written offer letters. They look impressive on paper for some of them but not all,” Gyle said.

  “Oh this sounds fun,” I said.

  “EH?” Rina is surprised.

  “Its so early to be in demand. I guess this is a surprise,” Sunghee is shocked.

  “Nice. What do they say?” Rina asked.

  “Well they might not be all good,” Sunghee warned me.

  I frowned though after I thought about it. Actually she’s probably right.

  “You better turn them away,” I said.

  “Is that wise?” Gyle asked.

  “That one group was a mess wasn’t it?” Sunghee countered.

  “I have to admit, that was a terrible group. They shouldn’t even be alive,” Gyle pointed out, not to be condemning but to simply state the facts so we could understand his point of view.

  “And that team begging us st night after we got in was bad too. The inn bouncers had to throw them out,” Rina restated something that had happened after we’d gotten in st night.

  “Right. I’ll take care of it. Um, also the Inn wants another deposit since the funds the government gave them as a deposit for your week of free chartered room and board will come to a close soon,” he asked.

  “That’s reasonable. I suppose they can’t take care of us forever,” I said.

  “Actually though the government just doing inn fees isn’t really helping us much. Inn fees aren’t that much of an expense,” Sunghee said looking at Gyle.

  “I guess so…” Gyle dodged her focused look.

  “Yeah they don’t work for free even if we’d like them too,” snickered Rina.

  “Um, see if they have a preferred weekly rate that’s discounted,” Sunghee suggested.

  “Is there such a thing?” I asked her.

  “Yeah sometimes but no promises. It’s worth a try,” Gyle shrugged.

  “How come you didn’t know about that?” Rina asked him pointedly.

  Gyle looked apologetic. “Sorry but my family’s shop is in town. And I didn’t do adventuring full time but just like a couple times a week or month before because I wasn’t that strong yet.”

  “Oh I see,” I said.

  “Most town inns will prefer someone being there long term with guaranteed income. Having people always going as soon as they come in can be stressful during low travel months,” Sunghee said.

  “That’s right,” Gyle nods.

  “Good to know,” Rina chipped in.

  “Next item of business?” I asked.

  “Svinn is asking for you to coordinate with his attendants for the lunch schedule to meet with the lord of the city,” Gyle asked.

  “Wow, you are moving up in the world,” Sunghee said while under the table she’s pced her hand on my knee affectionately.

  “That is pretty cool actually. They don’t invite just anyone,” Gyle admitted.

  Huh…this is a strange unexpected turn of events huh?

  “Is that worth anything?” RIna asked.

  “Heck yeah! It’s the Lord of the City, not to be confused with the Prince. Both are super important people and key pyers, not just titles. They have simir jobs but the Prince is even higher and is over several cities and the whole prefecture though he bases in one city to try to concentrate holding the troubled southern province together,” Gyle said.

  “OK. Any idea what they’ll expect or want?” I asked carefully. This has me kind of stressed out. It could be both good and bad.

  Gyle frowned, “well you being a human can’t be good. He will undoubtedly be jealous. A lot of dwarves may be that way in fact. It’s not that they are racist, but they are worried about having outsiders take over their town, which has always been a real danger to us. So you can’t fault them for thinking that way when they just want to protect our people. You have growing popurity. People identified you, Cassius, and Svinn with the ending of the siege when the goblins got in the wall. People will also be mad at the City Lord for bming why they got in, probably citing defense maintenance neglect, etc. So he may feel competition with you at best, extreme rivalry or hate at worst. Also he’s from an old school family that is anti-human. So meeting with him can’t be good for you.”

  “Damn,” I said.

  “So in other words it could end up being a feast thrown in your honor publicly or something even, who knows. We’ll know more ter,” Gyle said with a tight lipped business savy smile.

  “Wait you said the ‘troubled southern province’. So does that mean other provinces might be better for us to work out of?” Rina asked raising the concern.

  Gyle frowned. “Not for humans. You have to remember provinces that don’t have threat of invasion aren’t going to take to huge groups of armed humans suddenly coming in and disturbing how things have always been to them. The immigration policy is lenient if new settlers do defense contract work. Sorry if that sounds harsh.”

  “Well if I were another race and kingdom I might feel like humans could be dangerous too,” Sunghee admitted but still frowned with her arms crossed.

  So it’s like that huh…

  “So what are you saying exactly? There’s no other areas we can go to?” I asked.

  “He means that humans are only welcomed in war zones right?” Sunghee asked him.

  “Well I wouldn’t put it like that but…look I don’t make the rules OK?!” Gyle said while frustrated, seeing our negative reactions.

  “Well…we want to be able to have some kind of stability and settle somewhere,” Sunghee said to point out our concern.

  “Yeah, and that’s why we have our immigration system. So I’m sorry about that. But this pce is a good pce to live. Yes there is war here. And there are good points too that you have to remember too. Towns with lots of defense spending have a lot of cash going through them,” Gyle whispered after leaning over the table. He nodded seriously with it.

  “Cash is good,” Sunghee noted while nodding.

  “Not just good, but very good,” Rina chirped happily.

  “That’s a good thing. Paying bills is a good thing and not being homeless too,” I admitted.

  “Ugh…don’t ever let us go homeless. That sounds so stressful,” Rina groaned.

  “I agree,” Sunghee said.

  “Yes, very. So for now just stay out of trouble until we get this Lord of the City meeting squared away. Try to look civilized and …sort of like you belong around dwarves. I’ll sort out the details for you,” Gyle said.

  “I’d suggest you try to buy a little time. The longer you wait for someone with that the better. Shun I have to warn you this isn’t a good thing. Political factions can be dangerous,” Sunghee suggested.

  “Wait, are you saying something bad about dwarves?” Gyle gred at Sunghee.

  In return Sunghee, just tried to look more sincere towards me mostly but to Gyle a little too. “Sorry Gyle, any race political things can be trouble. I can assure you I only have appropriately positive feelings for the dwarven kingdom so far.”

  “F-fine. I guess you are right,” he said. (Why does he sound disappointed? Was he going to try to rat me out?)

  “But how do we prepare for something like this?” Rina looks stressed out. And she she should be because she brought up a good point.

  Gyle frowned, but I objected. “Actually we don’t know anything about dwarven etiquette,” I said.

  “We’ll get someone to coach you soon,” Gyle said. He’s writing down some notes for our to do list.

  “We can do this. We just go step by step,” he noted.

  “We probably should get a consultant thought right?” Sunghee asked him.

  Gyle looked thoughtful like we’d just given him a calculus problem. “Uh…let me think on that and get back to you.”

  “Just don’t surprise us with anything st minute. We want to not be crowded into something. Work with me on something like that. Also unless I’m mistaken they are going to try to find out if Shun is a threat to them or a boon,” Sunghee said to him.

  “That’s…” Gyle stuttered.

  “Um that’s actually an interesting idea,” I said. “Do you think that’s true?” I asked Sunghee.

  “It wasn’t until you became a big pyer in this little dwarven city. In a rger city you’d still be a smaller fish but this is a dwarven state where they have lower poputions than humans. So I don’t know for sure either but I wouldn’t rule it out. The more they know you the more easily politics can get involved,” Sunghee finished.

  “What she said, might be true,” Gyle admitted while looking like he didn’t want to do so.

  Good. This is turning out well. Sunghee has more experience with this, so I agreed. Gyle puts it in his notebook with the other things we’d marked down to follow up on. Gyle puts down some notes in his calendar of some things to follow up on including finding someone to give us social hierarchy and etiquette lessons the dwarven way. I’d almost balked that it’s a stupid waste of money but apparently dwarves DO things VERY differently than humans, especially the higher up the chain of command you go. And politics get in the way too.

  Gyle is suddenly a bit red faced… “There is another order of business besides that…”

  It takes us a few minutes getting it so he can manage spitting it out. It turns out Gyle is anxious for us to send that letter of introduction to Deinan on his behalf. He doesn’t have any female acquaintances and wants to try his hand at pursuing a few.

  I was about to warn him Deinan wasn’t that great of a catch, but Sunghee stomped on my toe under the table.

  Vetoed? I can’t believe I was vetoed.

  Then Sunghee stomped on my toe again. “He needs this Shun. It’s good for us too,” she whispered in a low tone while leaning to whisper in my ear with her arm over my shoulder. That also prompted Rina to also drape her arm and upper chest against me on the other side like Sunghee was doing just now.

  Ah right…I guess Gyle really does need this but is it really OK for him to pick a girl like that? Oh well…

  OK, I’ll let the dwarf choose his sad fate. Sigh…

  We spend another fifteen minutes working out what to say in the letter. You would be surprised how much flowery nguage and random poetic verse the dwarves put in a social introduction letter. I got lost on half the stuff. And to dwarves calling her well built doesn’t mean she’s fat like it would with humans so there are all kinds of things that confused me. I ended up getting tired of sitting at the table as the four of worked on this letter while Gyle looks happy as a kite on a windy day. The whole time Gyle is smiling like a lottery winner. He’s burning like he’s on fire with embarrassment however.

  But dwarves take introduction letters seriously, as evidenced by the curiosity of other male dwarves on tables near ours that can’t mind their own business, though they are trying to be subtle.

  …
