"I still can't believe Arilyn just lied about me writing such a weird note," Claude voiced while sitting in the academy's library. He was faced with Irene who stroked her black hair while reading some new books she had found.
"It's not that she does it on purpose, just when she tries to get out of trouble," Irene replied with a calm melodic tone. Nothing in her expression showed that she knew anything about the note she herself had shown to Arilyn a few days ago.
"But still, I did not think she was like that... I don't know how I should feel about having a tutor that can throw me under a cart like that," Claude kept talking. He had no trouble staring at Irene's beautiful side profile as she was not looking back.
"You get used to it, it's not like the archmagus believes her at this point," Irene replied and shifted her eyes to Arilyn who had walked from behind a shelf.
"I'm so glad both of you came here just as we agreed," Arilyn voiced and sat on the desk next to Claude. She only used the chair to lift her legs on it to hitch her green robe hem a bit to reveal her silky legs a bit more.
"I take it we have a mission?" Irene asked without shifting her tone. Like nobody had heard anything she did not intend to be heard.
"Since our dear Claude has recovered, it was decided we should take on one of the tasks from the king, as a team-building exercise," Arilyn voiced and the blond man in grey robes suddenly felt even more troubled by Arilyn due to her polite tone. There was no way she had not heard at least part of the conversation.
"I heard some of the missions involve combat," Claude said. He looked down just not to feel weird about Arilyn staring at his crotch.
"Don't you worry about that, it's my duty to protect you, and the first mission is a simple disappearance case in some remote castle town," Arilyn mused with a tone that Claude was sure was delivered in an as unnerving way as possible on purpose.
"We leave today?" Irene asked.
"With the first riverboat, we manage to get to. Prepare for at least one week trip," Arilyn voiced and stood up to leave.
"Is it far?" Claude asked. There was a glimmer of confused fear on his blue eyes. Though even he was not sure what was unnerving him the most.
"How should I know, you can read the details on the boat," Arilyn shrugged and left. Claude immediately felt more relaxed as Irene just read the notes like nothing had happened without any improper behavior.

Claude had barely slept the first night at the riverboat. The group of three had only one cabin with four bunk beds. Arilyn had insisted to sleep on his top while Irene just laid there like a sleeping beauty a few steps away from him. So it was no wonder Claude had gotten to the deck to stare at the sunrise the moment he was sure no more sleep would come to him.
The river water was murky and the forest at the shore looked like one could easily get lost in it. It was the first time Claude had ever ventured this far from the capital city that was located near the mouth of the river.
"Did you notice I sleep naked?" a familiar voice suddenly whispered into Claude's ears. "I can suck your cock if you are bothered."
"What's wrong with you?" Claude uttered and shifted to save his ear from being licked. The fact Arilyn felt his arousal despite his reactions, urged her to keep pushing like he was a fascinating puzzle she wanted to play with.
"I'm bored, but the offer is real. There is not a single passenger with even one seal, so unlucky," Arilyn shrugged and reached for Claude's hand on the railing. It retreated away from her even as he did not take the steps.
"I was just fine when I went to sleep, did you do something to me during it?" Claude asked. His hand crossed over his lower stomach almost like to hide his cock Arilyn knew to be erect.
"I did think about waking you up with a blowjob but Irene was kind of ruining my mood, did she do it instead?" Arilyn asked and leaned over the railing like to present her ass, the green robe clung to in her new position.
"Not now, back when I supposedly went out of control," Claude almost flared while refusing to look at Arilyn's ass.
"Would you trust what I say more if you tortured me with a fat cock first?" Arilyn asked. "Or your fist?"
"How do you suppose I could trust you when you speak like this?" Claude voiced and swallowed hard.
"Then don't, stick to Irene for the whole duration of our mission like hot cum to unshaved pubes, to stay safe from me," Arilyn said before a long lick of her soft lips. Claude did not even want to retort and simply walked away.
"Looking for company?" a fancily dressed middle-aged man asked from Arilyn once Claude had gone below deck. It triggered her to turn around with a slight smile.
"Not from you, come back when you are possessed by a demon or something," Arilyn replied. Her cold tone was more than enough to drive him away long with her ability to kill any arousal he had. So the redhead elf focused to enjoy the sunrise alone while hoping to sense some rogue demon or something in the woods she could lure to the boat.

When the group arrived at the pier of the castle town late at night, they were not even allowed to enter the walled area so late. Even the letter from the king they had had not been enough to let them in.
"Where are we going next?" Claude asked as the group stood next to the large gate. The small door the guards had used to talk to them was locked shut.
"Go find us an inn, I'll track you down later," Arilyn shrugged and looked at the buildings around the river port.
"You are going to investigate?" Claude asked.
"Naah, just spotted some tasty lust nearby, I think some orcs are having an orgy," Arilyn mused and did a show about hitching up her hem above her knees and lowering her cleavage. It was more than enough to make sure the other two did not bother asking more questions.
** * **
Arilyn followed the ooze of lust along the wall until it came clear the source was on the other side of it. Then she looked around in the darkness to make sure nobody was observing her. It was a relatively simple task since she sensed lust focused on her. So she took some seductive poses before using her telekinetic ability to sling herself over the wall. She landed in a narrow corridor between two houses with a little magical slide.
"Definitely a demon... maybe two... new flavor," Arilyn pondered and headed towards the source of the lust. There were only a few people around, and even as her attire attracted attention, none approached her. Like they were scared of an unknown street whore.
"Odd, down here?" Arilyn muttered and looked at the ground below her. "Don't tell me it's the sewers again."
"Who goes there," a loud voice suddenly asked a moment after Arilyn felt lust aimed at her. A group of guards in blue tunics was pointing their torches at her.
"A woman looking for company," Arilyn smiled and took a pose that made her shapes shine through her robes. Though her bare upper bosom and legs did not need such assistance to shine in the scarce light.
"Do you have your license?" the guard sergeant asked and walked closer. "You must be very new to not know how dangerous it is. Many people have gone missing lately."
Arilyn teasingly bit her lower lip while thinking about how she wanted to deal with the decently looking male. But then she realized something interesting that could be more worth her time than just playing around.
"You have some of that lust rubbed on you," Arilyn mused and leaned in to smell the sergeant's leather armor. It clearly had traces of having been close to a demon lately.
"Huh?" the sergeant voiced while Arilyn slid her agile hand along his belt.
"Are you hiding a big bad demon by any chance?" Arilyn asked with a lick of her lips. The lingering traces of otherworldly demon presence was unmistakable on the sergeant's armor. Even if the redhead magus was not able to tell what kind of demon had been near him, she could tell it had to be strong enough to be worth her time to feast on. Not to mention dealing with rogue demons praying on the mortals was supposed to be one of the main tasks of magi.
"Are you really a whore?" the sergeant suddenly asked and stepped back. The woman who had clung to him did not follow and simply crossed her legs into an oddly teasing pose.
"That's an odd question to ask, you can just give me a few silver and fuck me with your big bad demon to find out," Arilyn grinned and hitched up her robe to almost show her pussy.
"Arrest her for public indecency," the sergeant uttered like he was flustered from far more than just the promiscuous advance. Two of the guards moved to quickly put metal cuffs to lock Arilyn's hands behind her back.
"Do I get to pay my fine with raw sex?" Arilyn asked. Her seals pulsed a bit like they assumed that the only reason for multiple men to touch her was an upcoming gangbang.
"Damn you are thirsty, too bad we no longer do that to whores," one of the men holding Arilyn's shoulders voiced. Though his hand did lower to feel up her ass.
"Why not?" the redhead elf pouted. She was more than able to tell the men felt some serious levels of lust towards her. Which actually made her more suspicious about the scent of the demon on their sergeant.
"Nothing you need to worry about... but damn pity to miss an elf cunt," the soldier grinned and patted Arilyn's ass.
"Who says you have to miss it? Just fuck me and let me go," Arilyn voiced and leaned into the man's tunic.
"Not a chance, full silence," the sergeant flared and the guards stopped to talk to Arilyn after that. And since they were not taking the nubile elf in to fuck her, it was clear her comments about a demon had motivated the sergeant's command.
