?<Next day>


    ra was the first to wake up and when she did, her face was smothered into Shaman''s chest. Trying to move away, ra found herself stuck as Elysia hugged her from behind.


    ra had been sandwiched while asleep and didn''t know what to do.


    ''I don''t want to wake them up.'' Internally sobbing, sheid there until suddenly Shaman pulled ra closer.


    ''Oh no my horns!'' Realising the kind of position she was in, her horns were going to stab Shaman right in the face. Although they were not sharp like a de, the tip of the horn was quite pointy.


    ra''s horns stabbed right into Shaman''s chin and caused her to instantly wake up while grabbing her chin.


    "Ow fuck!" Tossing and turning around in the bed, it took her a moment to settle down before looking around to see what happened. Seeing ra awake and a guilty look on her face, Shaman pieced together that she was stabbed by her horns.


    "Sorry, it just sort of happened and I couldn''t really react in time to stop it." ra spoke quietly and quickly, unsure if she was going to get punished.


    "Haha, no need to be sorry, I can see you didn''t intend for it and if anything it''s my fault for wanting to sandwich you with Elysia as a surprise for when you woke up." After Shaman and Elysia finishedst night, they decided it would be a good idea to squish ra, hoping she would freak out.


    *Yawn* "What''s going on?" Elysia pushed herself up in a half-dazed state and leaned on one arm.


    "Ah-." ra went to face Elysia, but her chest was right at ra''s head level and got smothered by them, cutting off her surprised yell.


    "Oh? Whoops, sorry, ra." Elysia heard the small cut-off yell as she felt something hit her chest.


    "I''m going to have a chest overload at this rate." ra sat up straightpletely red, getting almost overwhelmed by all these idents.


    "Fufu~ you just have to get used to it, plus with Elysia around, it''s hard for things to not be… let''s say horny, wait no that sounds bad, especially with your horns, how about sexual." Shaman tried not to be too blunt, but the casual term she used in her original world didn''t quite fit.


    "I can''t help it, I me Shaman for all the fun we had when we first got together hehe~." Elysia shifted the me as in reality it was Shaman''s fault for introducing such activities into Elysia''s life.


    "Oi! We only did it like twice back then, not my fault you became some nympho always at your knees begging we keep going." Shaman refused to take the me as she never thought it would turn out like this.


    "Pffhaha, I guess we will see if I turn into one and if I do I me you Sha~." ra knew this would be a great excuse for more action as well as a chance to join forces with Elysia to tease Shaman.


    "Tsssk fine." Shaman epted, not realising what will be in store for her in the future.


    "Mothers!!! Kiruya wants to see you."


    ''It sounded weird to say mothers.'' Silver yelled out from behind the door, but found that it did not really roll off the tongue.


    "Coming!" Elysia responded, hoping Silver wouldn''t enter as the bedroom was aplete mess with clothes everywhere and stained sheets.


    "Good thing magic exists." Shaman had the same thought and got to cleaning right away.


    Conveniently, the room had a magic circle in the corner and underneath the bed for cleaning. These magic circles reced washing machines and were 10x faster, especially since they could also dry clothes.


    After cleaning up and putting on their clothes, they made their way to the lounge. Kiruya, Silver and nor were at the table eating, waiting for them toe out.


    "Finally, eat up and it will be time to take on the 2nd floor and enter the elf pce." Kiruya spoke quickly and seemed like she was in a hurry, which didn''t go unnoticed.


    "What''s the hurry, something happened?" Shaman sat down while asking, wanting to know if they should try and hurry.


    "Himeko could be in danger, the pope is making a move towards the demonnds." Kiruya received a report in the morning from Freya, informing her what was going on.


    "Wait what?" ra was the first to react as although her rtionship with Himeko was rocky, she still hoped to meet her and find out why Himeko sealed her memories.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "One of our informants that follows the human generals told us they were summoned by the pope to form an elite party to raid the demonnds." Kiruya kept the exnation brief and finished her food.


    hearing the news, the others quickly started on their food as it was urgent they get what they had to do here done.


    *


    Everyone finished up and followed Kiruya towards the dungeon including nor who was still confused, not really knowing the full story.


    "Once we are at the pce we will see the king right away! nor, if you can''t sort out things with your family, you will have to make a choice." Kiruya needed nor to make a decision as they cannot dy their trip any further.


    "What are my choices?" It was a rather grim realisation as she really wanted to be back with her family, but there was also a part of her wanting to leave.


    "You can either continue your life here or you cane stay in the Freya forest and serve Freja, the ruler."


    "Any other option?" nor was still looking for an out, as serving someone else didn''t suit her taste.


    "You can join our group and adventure with us, but I must warn you that it won''t be easy and you could very well die the next day." Shaman answered, turning back to exin as she knew what Kiruya would say.


    ''I didn''t want to take nor in since she is weak, but it seems like I won''t have a choice.'' Shaman didn''t want to take nor on such a dangerous journey since was not used to these types of hardships. Shaman also only considered taking nor if they could boost her power simr to what happened with the eggshells.


    This came as a shock to nor as she had very littlebat experience and felt like she would be a burden. However, this was the kind of offer she wanted, something that would let her be free and not worry about who she is.


    ''If they are willing to take me then I should take the opportunity.'' Knowing this will be her only shot at getting strong, nor decided what she was going to do.


    "Shaman, if you are willing to take me with you then please, I want to get stronger. I don''t care about my family and if they are no longer willing to take me, then my new family is here with you all." nor gave her answer and everyone was impressed with her response.


    "Make sure you train her well." Kiruya smiled and let Shaman take over the conversation while she led them to the dungeon.


    "With an answer like that, I can''t really decline… If I''m honest I was going to reject you joining since it would be too dangerous, but I''m sure we can work around that." Shaman figured giving nor a system would be able to boost her.


    [nor is now suitable to receive a system]


    Getting the notification confirmed Shaman''s thoughts and wondered if Rea could do anything about getting nor''s level up.


    "I-I understand, I half expected to be rejected, but I will work hard to catch up." nor felt relieved that she was epted, knowing there was a real chance of her not joining at all.


    "We will get you a weapon and once we are in the dungeon I have something to give you, so before we get there, try to think of a weapon you want to use." Shaman would deal with the system once they are in the dungeon as they wouldn''t have any eyes on them.


    "Mhm." nor nodded her head and the excitement was kicking in.


    "Elysia, ra and Silver, you have no issues with this? I should have asked before." Shaman turned to the others who had kept silent, letting Shaman take lead.


    "I have no issues." ra didn''t see a problem with nor joining but was actually more worried about Elysia.


    "No issues Mum!" Silver smiled, happy that nor was joining as he enjoyed her presence.


    "Mmm fine." Elysia pouted, as it was another woman in the group, but thanks to ra, Elysia was a lot more open to nor joining.


    "Thank you." nor was nervous while hearing their responses, but the positive response she got fueled her excitement.


    "Good, we are almost there so try to make a decision on your weapon of choice." Shaman, getting their approval, then made sure nor focused back on thinking about a weapon as they can''t spend a lot of time ying around.
