By the time we arrived, everyone turned to look at us as it turned out that they are all waiting for us to arrive.
I refused to walk by myself towards the Chieftain Monarch in which the pack ended up accompanying me.
Lion held my hand as we walked towards the Chieftain Monarch in which Sly in his regular form, walked beside me on the other side as Alpha walked behind me, Orm is behind Lion and Ghost is behind Sly.
While we were walking, I realized how ridiculous we looked as it seemed like they are guarding me in which when I looked at each one of them, they do have a look in their eyes that seemed to tell everyone to stay away from us.
Sigh.
At least nobody will bother me anymore.
But it seems that it doesn't bother the other creatures as well since they looked like they revered the pack.
I am also proud of them as they did a great job in eliminating the pests.
If only the other creatures saw how well capable they fight as the situation from earlier is miniscule compared to the previous monsters that they fought years ago.
But the pack needed additional training though. I noticed that every monster or creature that they fought are always different in which they definitely needed new skills.
Good thing that I managed to try a wide variety of attack and defense training in my previous world that even though I'm not an expert, at least it may help them in a way as we may have to go on another mission soon.
We finally stopped walking in which I went towards where the Chieftain Monarch is standing and stood beside him.
He made a bit of speech that I didn't understand in which it turned out that he gave some jewels to all the participants.
That's quite generous of him.
But what about me? I participated too!
I needed that jewels to buy the pack something!
Then he announced who won the event in which I expected to be Lion but to my surprise, he didn't call Lion's name.
He called out my name.
....
I just stood there like a dummy in which everyone cheered for me while the pack cheered the loudest.
But I just sprinkled salt! I didn't kill any pests at all!
Since I didn't move at all, the Chieftain Monarch simply laughed and told me to receive my jewels in which I finally moved and eagerly accepted them.
I saw several violet and blue jewels in which I'm itching to go shopping at once and buy the pack something.
....
The rest of my prizes are already inside our room in which I decided to look at it later as Lion already began to remove my clothes.
I asked him why he is in a hurry in which he told me that the Chieftain Monarch gave me and the pack permission to spend some time around the territory. As the time is limited, he wants to enjoy a bit of alone time with me before we leave.
We began kissing passionately in which I accidentally bumped hard into a desk.
Lion stopped kissing me as he knelt down while checking for any bruising on my leg in which I had a sudden brilliant idea that I think he would love.
I told him to stand in which he did while looking confused.
When I placed my body on top of the desk, his looks of confusion became looks of extreme lust as with a flash and a world record speed, our clothes are nowhere to be found.
Buying several desks are among the list of things Lion is planning to buy later.
....
Lion kept smiling as the pack and I went to the shops around the territory. Everyone is in good spirits already yet Lion is on another level.
He spent a lot of time looking and purchasing several desks in which the pack began to look at him strangely as he seems to have some sort of obsession towards them.
They turned to look at me in which I put on my most innocent looking face and shrugged.
After he bought several desks already, he finally looked satisfied much our relief as I'm beginning to regret what I did earlier.
Then I saw a clothing shop for male creatures in which I instantly went inside, much to the pack's surprise. I insisted on buying them clothes in which they all looked amused that later turned to eagerness as they saw me how I react in some of the clothes they tried on.
The shop owner and his assistant are very helpful as they suggested a lot of clothes that made them more alluring and attractive than before.
I felt myself turned red in some of the outfits they wore that suddenly everyone wanted to try everything that the shop owner is selling, much to his delight that he closed the shop, making it exclusive to us.
I bought all of the clothes they are selling despite the pack telling me that they are going to pay it using their own jewels in which I told them that it won't make a dent in my recent winnings.
....
Everyone bought something what they liked and while I enjoyed looking at them, I suddenly felt a slight pain on my neck.
But they didn't assign us a mission yet!
I clenched my teeth as I decided not to tell anyone as it might destroy the mood of everyone.
Thankfully, it went away as I tried to act like everything is normal.
We tried eating at a food place in which to my delight, the food tasted delicious despite the fact it didn't used any seasoning in which when it was time to pay, I soon understand why it was delicious.
Ghost explained it to me that they used highly classed ingredients in which if mixed with the seasonings that we invented, it would surely taste divine.
We were strolling around as we are on our way back to the palace in which I saw a female creature clothing shop. I told them to wait outside in which I would just browse and will not take long.
This time, everyone insisted on coming with me much to my dismay as they didn't quite look properly on what kind of female creature clothing shop they are going into.
Much to my embarrassment, every female creature inside the shop turned to look at them as they seemed not to care what kind of clothing shop it is as they just randomly took several clothing and insisted that I MUST try everything.
Since they didn't quite understand what kind of clothing shop it is, I decided to embarrass them by wearing everything.
Instead of them being embarrassed, I was the one who ended up being embarrassed as they bought everything that I wore despite the fact that some of the clothing are too much revealing to wear.
The shop keeper and her assistants are extremely helpful to them when they saw how much they spent in the shop that they even tried to fix up my appearance and made me look more alluring that the pack's gaze, especially Lion are getting too intense the more I tried on some of the clothing.
Finally I put my foot down and told them enough as I can't possibly wear everything at once as it is getting too many that I have to wear at least 5 of them in a day to be able to wear everything within the year.
I have a feeling that it's Lion who made me wear the extremely revealing ones.
The pack paid for everything in which they started to bicker on what outfit they would make me wear next when we get back.
Sigh.
For the sake of harmony, I told them that I would put all the clothes in a bag and just randomly get one to wear in which they instantly agree with excitement in their eyes.
I do hope I won't get the extremely revealing ones.
....
I managed to get one of the extremely revealing ones much to my dismay in which Lion insisted on me wearing it as we are planning to spend some time at the lake with the pack.
To make him understand how revealing it is, I told him that I would cover his eyes with a cloth while I change in which he enthusiastically agreed.
I took a quick bath then fixed my hair in which Lion kept asking me if I'm done. I took my time putting on makeup and changing into the clothes that I first got randomly from the bag in which I felt too shy to even look at myself in the mirror.
As I walked towards Lion, he kept on reaching out to me in which I took off his blindfold, listening to him gasp in surprise in which he finally realized how revealing it is.
I told him that I'm ready to go in which he hurriedly told me to change. I was about to change into another extremely revealing clothes when I felt him embracing me as he started to lick my neck while his hands started to move towards my legs.
All my extremely revealing clothes ended up being placed in a separate bag in which Lion insisted that I wear from time to time.
When we're alone.
....
We had a lovely time at the lake.
It was a bit hot in which I stepped into the water and splashed water towards the pack's faces.
I laughed when I saw them getting wet in which everyone except Orm joined me in the water. I was about to ask Orm why he isn't joining us when he suddenly used magic to splash water towards us.
That's not fair!
Soon, everyone is splashing water towards each other in which everyone ended up getting wet including Orm as Alpha used his wind magic to splash the water back towards him.
I began sneezing in which everyone stopped as Lion hurriedly wrapped me with a towel.
Oh, great.
I have a feeling I would get sick.
And I did.
....
It was just a cold!
Back on earth, I would work despite having a high fever.
Lion made me stay in the bed with several blankets covering me that I soon began to sweat and took off most of the blankets with annoyance.
Ghost brought me several fruits that he insisted that would restore my energy and health in which I insisted that I'm not hungry at all.
This is getting ridiculous.
Orm kept giving me sponge baths in which I told him that it isn't necessary as my fever isn't that high in which he looked so sad that I finally relented.
I don't know where Alpha got some potions but he insisted that I should drink it in which I did, but instead of making me better, it only ended up making me feel worse.
I'm starting to lose my patience when Sly sat down beside me and embraced me while telling me to close my eyes and take a nap.
I started to protest but when he started to sing, it made me sleepy that I finally closed my eyes.
Lion positioned me properly in which I can feel both Lion and Sly's arms embracing me.
It seems that Lion gave Sly permission to sleep beside me even though he's there.
Kind of awkward but I'm hoping that I would get used to it as it feels really cosy.
Then finally, I fell asleep.
