Chapter 12: Extra Coin
Jimmy didn't hesitate to lock each of the cabinets shut with various locks and keys, even after he took out all of its contents. In the same small building where he kept his snakes, he took out various sacks and placed in the items that were usually inside his home, such as the smaller pots, cauldrons, and silverware and wooden utensils.
Sillis was in charge of opening a portal toward the Underworld, taking all of Jimmy's snakes with her and ensuring that they would be guarded by said realm until this entire ordeal with Malvagia was over.
"Are we really going to need to bring all of them?" Belva was still sitting in her chair as Jimmy was wrapping the sacks with his hands and some rope.
"Well you all need to eat too right?" Jimmy replied to her question with a question. "I doubt succubi can get through life without something filling their stomachs."
"This is coming from both the man who loves snakes and was skeptical about succubi." Belva argued
"Yes, yes, 'Miss I turned into a snake and failed to seduce me.'" Jimmy took the sack outside, while Belva stared at him going through the door, folding her arms and pouting. She then saw Velyn helping out with the sacks as well.
"You too?" Belva wondered.
Velyn didn't answer, she shrugged and followed Jimmy outside. Belva soon turned to Zaniva.
"Are we really going to get rid of his Cerrit abilities once this is all over?" she asked.
"Unlike most other succubi, I do not always let the temptation get the best of me. What good would it serve to me if I lied to every single man I've seduced."
"Uh, that would be related that we're succubi in the first place!" Belva spoke. "Think Zaniva, if we get Jimmy to his full set of abilities it would be near impossible to stop him, and yes, I'm being cautious like this, cause before he was telling us about his early life as a Cerrit, and before that he was full of energy, not afraid to back down from a fight in an unsavory wicked manner."
"I love myself a wicked man." Zaniva thought, winking at Belva who rolled her eyes.
"This is not a man! This is a Cerrit!" Belva spoke, before she looked out the window, monitoring to see if he was there or not. "Okay good, he didn't hear us."
"You worry too much."
"Do you have any idea how strong his grip was even without the Cerrit abilities?" Belva shuddered at the time she was in a snake form, and her head was pinched by Jimmy. "He could have tried to crush my skull if he wanted to, had I not turned into my usual succubi form."
"Well, it's best we both monitor and help his state of mind, knowing that his Cerrit status it he one that pushes him to act wicked."
Belva sighed at the succubi superior to her in both power and status.
"We're going to need more than him if we're going to tackle on Malvagia."
"In due time, Belva." Zaniva leaned back into her chair again. "In due time. Right now let's focus on our attention to getting Jimmy's abilities in check, and possibly get on the move as he suggested."
***
"We're going to need some horses." Jimmy told the succubi upon locking the house. He was most grateful for Sillis, who had returned and assured him that other succubi had taken the liberty of keeping Jimmy's snakes safe. Thanking her, he patted her head, promoting a red hue to appear in her face, Velyn rolling her eyes at the silly spectacle.
"We could technically use our magic to move a wagon once we get one." Velyn suggested.
"Do you have ANY IDEA how easily panicked human beings would be once they saw a moving cart without any horses pulling them?" exclaimed Jimmy
"For once I agree with Jimmy." Belva nodded. "We'll also need to maintain our disguises for the moment." she pointed at her own human disguise. Sillis groaned at the explanation.
"But I'm feeling hot under here!" she cried out, pulling her arm sleeves slightly.
"Patience Sillis, once we go out to the plains and onto the countryside, you're more than happy to change into something that's much more….opened, to enjoy the fresh air."
"What are we waiting for then?" Sillis threw her arms around Jimmy's neck, the man became startled at the sudden reaction the busty succubi had. "Let's get into town!"
"Oh for the love of...Sillis, can you not?"
"Sowwy" Sillis purred, touching both of her index fingers as Jimmy rolled his eyes.
"Are you always like this in the Underworld?"
"She is." Velyn smirked. "Once she tried to speak to an incubi-"
"Quiet!" Sillis covered her twin sister's mouth immediately, before looking at Jimmy once more. "Nothing Jimmy, let's go to town! To get some horses!"
"And some extra coin." Zaniva recommended. "We'll need all the wealth we can get."
"HEY!" shouted a burly voice. Jimmy's ears perked up, he oversaw a familiar muscular man, with two others, one of them being injured slightly.
"You know them?" Belva asked.
"Jimmy!" Dimebag Drummond spoke with a loud voice, approaching Jimmy and the succubi, "Fancy seeing you here, and you have a harem of beautiful ladies with you."
The succubi smiled at the praise, Sillis in particular getting another red hue on her cheeks.
"I could say the exact same thing for you actually." Jimmy replied before he noticed the two other men with Dimebag. They were both wearing gray vests, but one of them who was skinnier than the other, was holding a bloody wound on his lower chest.
"What happened?" Belva asked.
"Kaylan!" the wounded man shouted. "That no good dirty Jarrow thief caught me off guard when me and the others were looking for him."
"Yeah." Dimebag raised his arm and a transparent screen appeared in front of him. There was also a projection of Kaylan's hooded figure. "He's still out in town, hiding in the crowds like a rat for all we know."
"Didn't you tell me that Kaylan was worth some coin?" Jimmy looked at the succubi, who shared a small smile with him.
Dimebag smirked. "You wanna take him on? Just say the word."
"I...we could use the extra coin." Jimmy pointed at the succubi as Dimebag transferred his target toward Jimmy's system.
