Chapter 231


    Queen Elendir brought me to a mostly empty corridor. The only people around were patrols going about their routes and custodians cleaning the ce. asionally, I spotted a light elf and even a humanoid being with cat ears. They must be visitors. Or ves. From what I remembered, light elves didn''t like to associate with their darkened skin counterparts and were on opposite sides of the war.


    "What is it, Elendir? It better not be work, because I came to Elza hoping for a vacation," I exined.


    "You did?" Elendir brightened up. "Interesting. Then perhaps this will work out for all parties involved after all. First some context. As you already know, Elza was involved in a war not so long ago between the king of demons'' army, consisting of dark elves, subi, and his forces ofher-realmly demons against the forces of Everlight, consisting of light elves, beastkins of the west, and dwarves. Well, suffice to say, we lost. Terribly."


    "I know, I know. That''s why Beatrice ended up seeking Tamamo no Mae''s help, and then subsequently using the king of demons'' artifact shard to teleport subi into my world to conquer and ressurect him. To the point please!"


    She continued after clearing her throat, "Now that both Beatrice and the king is undoubtedly dead, both sides are pursuing peace. I will be departing west to meet with the Pridemother, the self-proimed warchief of all beastkin tribes. The light elves had also asked that I meet with them, too. Since I cannot be at two ces at once, I was going to send emissaries in my ce. However, with you here and as the one true queen between us, you will make for a better ambassador!"


    I blinked absentmindedly at Elendir. Her eyes told me she was dead serious. So taken aback by her plea, I spun around and started walking away— until two hands sped my shoulders.


    "You have the wrong person for this job! I''m only in college in my world. I''m not suited to international politics!" I cried.


    "I beg of you, Queen Saeko!" Elendir held me back from so much as taking a step. "This is for the sake of us all. Besides, war isn''t at stake anymore. Not that we can afford to fight… You will just be going for appearance''s sake and reaffirm our intention for peace. Did I mention that where you will be going is a port city renowned for its beauty, tropical sights, and a beloved vacation spot for light elven nobility?"


    "Vacation spot? Okay… you have my attention."


    ording to Elendir, the n was to sail to a ce called City of Everlight, named after the same goddess, meet with and shake the hands of a few light elf dignitaries, and the remaining days was up to us to spend. We would be going there by ship in which the cargo was full of gifts. After which, our return trip would be made by portal from the mirror artifact.


    There<i> shouldn''t</i> be any problems, but out of an abundance of caution, Elendir was sending a crew of subi and dark elven crack troopers to join us on the journey. Also included was a special agent, whatever that meant. After all, I was the subus queen in this world.


    After agreeing to it, we brought this up to Mio and Kana and the two were instantly on board.


    "Oh, thank goodness." Queen Elendir sighed in relief. "I would have sent Shayle otherwise, not that she is a bad choice, but she isn''t me or Queen Saeko. No offense, Shayle."


    "None taken, my queen! Now if you will excuse me…" Shayle rushed out of the manor in a hurry.


    "So, when are we leaving?" Mio asked, already bouncing on her heals.


    "Now, actually. Please, follow me." The dark elven queen led us out and around the back.


    A couple of subi brought us horses to ride on, and they would carry the luggages over to the ship in our ce.


    "I still think it''s so cool that everyone treats you as their queen. Does that mean I''m dating royalty?" Kana asked.


    "Just don''t expect us to be living in a castle," I said.


    The harbor was a short ride away from the castle. It appeared to be a warehouse wharf with fewrge ships moving a lot cargo in and out. There were, however, a lot of smaller rowboats going out to sea with fishing equipment. Calm waves crashed against the stone bank. I felt like I was already home in Tsukiji because of the salty breeze in the air.


    But it was Mio who was at home the most. Her eyes reflected the sparkling blue ocean. A smile bigger than any wave shed across her face. She drew in the deepest breath to take in the sea breeze.


    "The sea." Mio smiled.


    "Man, I''m practically seeing ships in water that would normally be put in museums. We''re actually going to ride on one, too?" Kana gazed up at the multi-decked ship in awe.


    "Right?!"


    I rolled my eyes as my boyfriend and girlfriend linked hands to prance around like children at an amusement park.


    "So, who''s this special agent of yours?" I asked just as a familiar aura tickled the edge of mine.


    "Queen Saeko, hi! It''s so nice to see you again!" La waved from the deck of the ship.


    "As you can see, it is La. There is no better protection than from a greater subus," Queen Elendir said.


    Somehow, I didn''t feel very protected. At least having someone I know around was better than a stranger. Part of me felt like if the meeting went horribly wrong, she would sooner purposefully throw herself into danger rather than do any protecting.


    "And the captain?" I asked.


    "You''re already acquainted. Shayle also happens to be an experienced naval captain." Queen Elendir directed my attention behind me to Shayle, who was just now donning a tricorn hat and longcoat.


    "It''s going to be smooth sailing with me, Queen Saeko. Don''t you worry." Shayle smiled reassuringly.


    "Is that why you ran out ahead of us? Well, I do feel a lot safer with you around than La."


    Mio flew Kana onto the deck of the ship. They were already raring to go on this journey. I unfurled my wings and went up to join them.


    "Oh, man. I''ve always wanted to be on a ship again. This is fucking rad!" Mio eximed, going around snapping selfies from the crow''s nest, mast of the ship, and even the steering wheel.


    "Wait, where did La go? She was just up here a second ago." I searched for the masochistic subus, <i>but</i> I did find two dark elves… fucking a barrel?


    "Given La''s predilections, I''ve assigned her to be the ship''s barrel wench. You know, to serve as a sexual outlet to pent-up sailors. You''re wee to give her a try if you like!" Shayle encouraged us.


    Kana gulped hard, staring at the barrel, inside of which La was being double-teamed by two futanari dark elves.


    "Or, we can take turns being in the barrel." Mio elbowed me in the side.


    "Let me show you to your room. Down this way, please!" Shayle climbed aboard and directed us to a door leading to the lower deck.


    Mio and Kana followed her straight down. I nced back down to Elendir, who was waving from below.


    "So… Anything important I should know about the meeting?" I stammered.


    "Shayle will brief you on the way there. I believe in you, Queen Saeko. Just use your subus charm if you find yourself in a pickle," Elendir said.


    "Isn''t that exactly what I shouldn''t do if we''re trying to achieve peace?!"


    "Saeko, hurry up! Shayle''s showing us to the royal suite!" Mio shouted from the door.


    I went below deck with them. Judging by the sealed gunports, the ship used to be a warship. With the war ended, they had no need for it anymore. Or maybe this was just part of the demilitarization following their defeat. Regardless, it left a lot of open cargo space and hammocks for the crew.


    "The journey should be a swift one," Shayle began, "thanks to mages on board providing us with a steady headwind using magic. We may slow down at times if the seas are rough, but nothing the ship can''t handle Annnnnd, here we are! The royal suite that Elendir uses is now yours."


    Shayle opened the door to avish bedchamber, furnished with its own bathtub and dining room. The bed was pretty big, as expected of the dark elven queen, to fit many lovers at once. Two windows offered a view off the stern and port of the ship.


    "By the way, the captain''s quarter where I''ll be staying is directly across." Shayle thumbed over her shoulder to the adjacent door.


    "Wow. This is cooler than being on a modern yacht. I feel like I''m riding on a big fancy pirate ship," Kana said in awe of the ce.


    "When are we gonna do some raiding like old times? I wanna nab a bunch of light elves to fuck senseless." Mio licked her lips.


    "Mio, we''re on a peace mission!" I groaned into my hand.


    Already, I could tell Mio was going to pose a problem. It was up to me to make sure everything went smoothly. For all subus and dark elves in Elza.


    "Hey, Captain?" Kana stopped Shayle from leaving. "I''ve been seeing subus, elves, and some people with beastlike features. Queen Elendir also mentioned dwarves. But are there humans in this world?"


    "Nope. You may very well be the first human to ever set foot on Elza! Queen Saeko doesn''t count because she''s quite clearly a subus now," Shayle said.


    "Somehow, that makes me feel a little lonely rather than special." He sighed.


    "Chin up. That means you''re one of a kind! I hope your cock is ready for uster, because we''re breaking in this bed with a threesome tonight." Mio grinned.


    Kana shuddered out of fear. Rightfully so, because we drained him to hell and back a few times already. Well, at least Mio had enough restraint to hold back from sucking him dry. As Shayle went to do captain stuff, the rest of us were left to explore the ship as we pleased. Or lounge around until the we docked.


    The bathtub had me all sorts of confused. It looked like those usual tubs detached from the wall. A drain clearly connected to the floor. I turned one of the knobs, and steaming water poured from the faucet.


    "Magic sure is something else," Kana said, inspecting the enchanted tub with me.


    "Wait until youe across magic items. It''s exactly what you expect in video games," I exined to his excitement.


    "Yo, let''s go up on deck to watch the ship sail from port!" Mio raced out first.


    Kana and I exchanged chuckles at how excited she was about this trip.


    "You know, even though you got roped into a job, this still turned out alright. Mio''s definitely having a st," Kana said.


    "Yeah, but that''s only because we''re on a boat. It was her childhood after all. Anyway… You were staring at Elendir''s boobs, weren''t you?" I used him.


    My boyfriend took one step out the door and froze solid.


    "N-No…" Kana answered unconvincingly.


    "Were you staring at her boobs?" I asked again, but tightening my charm around him.


    "Yes…" he said. "I-I mean, can you me me? I''ve never seen a pair that big before!"


    I let Kana go and extended my arms to him. He realized what I wanted, dropped into me for a hug, and squeezed.


    "You just want to be spoiled, don''t you?" Kana asked.


    "I <i>am</i> a girl with needs." I winked coquettishly.


    We ascended onto the upper deck just as the ship was drifting away from the dock. A deep, bellowing horn sounded in the distance. Mio was over by the edge, waving to someone below. When we joined her, it was Queen Elendir sending us off from the docks.


    "Bring back some souvenirs, if you can! Lightbringer Tears is a wine I haven''t tasted in decades, so please bring back a bottle!" Elendir shouted while shrinking into the distance.


    "No promises!" I hollered back.


    "Ah, you can just leave that to me. The queen asks anyone who travels to the City of Everlight for a bottle," Shayle said, then leaned against the railing and stared at her nails. "I also <i>happen</i> to have an opened bottle myself in the captain''s quarters, if you three are so inclined."


    Mio shot a hand up.


    "Uhh. I''m a minor, and so is Saeko," Kana reminded her.


    "Yes, but you''re also in Elza where there is no silly age restriction. Come. Drink and be merry! I''ll throw you overboard otherwise," Shayle said, beckoning us down with her.


    We followed Shayle back down while the ship''s crew took care of everything in her ce. The room was painted a nice mahogany. A giant square banner bearing the crest of two crossed blunderbusses hung from the wall. Unlike the bed from the royal suite, the captain''s bed was of normal size. She also had a cartographer''s table, and I was able to see for the first time the immensity that was Elza.


    The manor was towards the northeast. An utterly gargantuan stretch of forest or junglend covered most of the west and southwest. A silver ring currently rested on a ce called the City of Everlight which was also on the same continent. Much of the map had also been marked up with red Xs.


    "Those are all lost battles, if you were wondering." Shayle opened a cab to pull out a bottle of wine and several sses.


    "Our losses. We were getting our asses kicked all over the goddamn ce!" Mio added.


    "Makes sense why Beatrice wanted to conquer Earth instead," I teased.


    The four of us toasted. Kana took a sip and gagged. Meanwhile, Mio and Shayle sniffed deeply before drinking the wine. I''d already tasted beer before, so wine went down much easier for me. Lightbringer Tears had a nice citrus aftertaste, then it slowly became sweet the more I smacked my lips.


    "On to the briefing: Queen Saeko, if all goes well, you will be meeting with Princess Amira, second in line to the crown after her eldest brother, and several lords anddies in a ball. It is nothing special. You will simply attend, state your desires for peace and swear fealty to the light elves, and look pretty. We will also deliver them gifts. The cargo is full of magic equipment we piged, stole, and raided from the Armies of the Everlight during the war, including some from our own troves. In fact, part of the reason Queen Elendir formed us artifact hunters is to gather magic items that may appease the light elves."


    "Sounds easy enough. Where''s the catch?" I asked.


    "The catch is that we''re transporting <i>a lot</i> of magical items. There are factions who would not see us make peace with the light elves. With yours and Mio''s help, we may hopefully avoid trouble," Shayle exined.


    A few drinks were all the captain could afford to us before needing to get back to work. Since we had nothing to do, and the wine was getting to Mio, she urged us back into our room in the royal suite for a little fun.


    With the three of us in bed, our fingers crept on top of one another. I leaned in to kiss Kana, and he reciprocated by shoving his tongue into my mouth. We made out for a bit until Mio grabbed the back of my head and yanked me over for her turn. The two of us swapped spit. Our tongues wrestled a brutal match. She made me swallow her saliva that made my body scorching hot and pussy soaking wet.


    When we parted, Mio smirked and went in to give Kana the same treatment. I wasn''t a voyeur by any means. I preferred to be in on the action. I also didn''t have Kana''s predilections of seeing someone he liked— me— taken by another, but witnessing my lifelong partners sucking each other''s tongues turned me on like crazy.


    I started masturbating. Flicking my little bean made the sloppiest shlicking noises I didn''t think possible.


    "Raring to go, ain''t ya?" Mio nibbled on her lower lip and came back to shove her tongue down my throat.


    We rolled around in bed, arms wrapped tightly around the other''s bodies. As soon as we came to a stop, I was on top of Mio. I felt Kana''s hands on my ass. He spread my cheeks and started licking my gushing pussy.


    "Nngh… I''m going to cum already…" I mumbled.


    "Hehe. That''s it. Saeko may be the subus queen, but you''re still our bitch." Mio hooked her legs around mine and pulled them wide open to give Kana better ess. "Come on, Kana. Call her your bitch!"


    "I-I don''t really feelfortable calling Saeko that…" Kana frowned.


    "Sheesh. You''re saying that while between her legs. Get with the program. Talk dirty to her, coward!" she sassed him.


    "I… I bet you like when I lick your pussy, you little… whore! Ahhh! I can''t. I''m sorry I called you a whore! I just don''t have it in me!" he cried.


    Mio shoved Kana''s face back to my pussy when an explosion boomed from the side of the ship. The three of us panicked.


    "What''s going on?" I asked, quickly dressing myself.


    "Holy shit. Are we getting raided at sea? Booty time!" Mio bolted out of the room before either of us could stop her.


    The explosions were growing more intense and in number, like someone was beating drums harder and louder with every strike. Kana and I climbed up to the upper deck as crewmen scrambled all over the ce. Mio was over by the starboard, where another ship with several decks of gunports had their cannons facing right at us.


    "Surrender yer cargo, and we''ll make ya our barrel wenches rather than throw ya into the sea!" A female dark elven pirate cackled from the other ship.


    They fired a volley of cannonballs. Kana flinched, and I threw my arms around him. But the projectiles struck a magical barrier and fell into the sea.


    "Aren''t you guys going to fight back?" I shouted to Shayle, who was at the wheel.


    "With what?" Shayle growled. "We have no gunports of our own anymore because of the damned light elves'' demilitarizatioin of us! Offensive magic won''t work either. They likely have mages raising a barrier around their ship, too!"


    "Open a hole in the barrier. Let me, Saeko, and La get a piece of them!" Mio kicked over the barrel La was in, causing her and a wave of jizz to spill out.


    "Ehh… Is it… time to switch… already?" La asked deliriously.


    The three of us threw ourselves into the portal, and Shayle ordered the mages on board to open a hole. As soon as we got close to the other ship, the pirates''ughter stopped at once. They stared up at us with terror in their eyes.


    "What the… No one told us there''d be subus on board!" one of them cried.


    "Don''t be afraid! They look like lesser subi—"


    "Who are you calling lesser? I''m Queen Saeko, a greater subus." I zeroed my aura in on the mages who were sustaining the barrier.


    Once they were under my control, the magical barrier around their ship vanished. Mionded on the deck of their ship. A foolish dark elf tried to attack, but Mio quickly ced her under a charm. She groped her breasts and fingered her pussy in front of the other pirates. Those on board with flintlocks and blunderbusses raised their guns to open fire, but their fingers stopped short of pulling the triggers. My aura sensed La''s had creeped up to them.


    "S-Sorry, I can''t have you hurting Mio or Queen Saeko. Both of them are under my protection!" La exined apologetically.


    "Hey, Mio? What did you do to enemies that you captured out at sea?" I asked.


    "We take their valuables and a few cocky ones on board to fuck. Maybe even employ on barrel wench duty, but we already have La. I say we have ourselves an orgy!" Mio licked her lips.


    "Heh. Well, what are you waiting for? Bring the stupid bastards on board!" Shayle shouted as her ship drew close enough for crew to throw boardingdders across.
