章 39: Family Trip (1)

---

Forgot to give you all Aethisia's picture so...

Here~!

Besides that, I wanna... 'feel the room' so to speak with a question...

It's a weird one, but considering the site we're all on, I was curious as to the answer.

Recall how in the earlier chapters, when Rhefia and Astra were discussing the differences between futa and females in all the different species groups, and how Rhefia mentioned teaching the futa about themselves?

Well...

Should I expand on that a little, a lot, or not at all?

By that I mean... am I doing anything with Camara and/or Aethisia, be it just teaching them about themselves, going full blown and adding them to the harem, or not doing anything?

Again, I was just curious since I went back and reread all of this just to reacquaint myself with some finer details, and I saw that tidbit I added in.

Anyways, yeah, that was just something I wanted to know what everyone wanted me to do with it, since I don't particularly care either way again lol.

We had prepared a little more over the last week, and I had made each of us comfortable armor, fur cloaks, two waterskins each, some packs and pouches, and a whole lot more.

Keeping some meats and vegetables in my inventory, as well as all my wood, leaves, branches, stones and all that, I could build another house wherever I felt like, which was a rather entertaining thought.

Maybe we'd find a beautiful location that could be a vacation home?

Not a bad idea, and when the girls are able to truly care for themselves, Rhefia and I could retreat away for a night or two of uninterrupted fun...

Which sounded REALLY good...

Anyways, I looked over each of the women before me, a smile on my face as I took in how different, yet similar, they all looked.

Camara stood on my left, my eldest leaning on a spear.

Her leather armor was more on the thin side, providing protection while still giving her decent mobility. Draped on her back was a long, black fur pelt, made from wolves fur.

She had insisted on it, and when Aethisia and the rest of us grew confused, she vehemently spat out about hating wolves.

My youngest had asked why, and after hearing the story about Rhefia and I meeting, she too expressed her desire to wear a wolf cloak, wanting to match her sister.

Which is why, standing on my right, my tall daughter was hefting a Heavy Spear in her hands, and I admired her rippling muscles as she slung it on her back, beside her Heavy Bow and quiver of Stone Arrows.

She had trained harder than Rhefia, and I had to admit that she was looking much stronger than my wife as well; in fact, the two had sparred and been evenly matched!

Aethisia had surprised me a lot, but I was immensely proud of her, letting her know that as well.

Rhefia had, albeit slightly begrudgingly, admitted that Aethisia was likely going to be stronger than her in the future, which made our youngest daughter smirk.

She had opted for heavy leather shoulder pads, a thick chest piece, and a leather skirt, keeping her legs free to move around while protecting her muscular arms.

The wolves head from her cloak was nestled on her own head, and the light gray fur almost matched her snowy white hair.

Finally, in the center was Rhefia, my tall Deerkin wife grinning at me as she patted her new spear.

I had managed to find a good piece of stronger stone in the boulder, and I used it to craft her an Improved Heavy Spear, which dealt double the damage as the first, as the tip was both heavier and sharper.

The shaft was also much better, as I wrapped it in leather for two wide hand holds and also managed to learn that, if you smoked this wood at a certain temperature, it hardened it slightly, increasing its durability.

Besides her new spear, she had a similar armor to Aethisia, just not the heavy shoulder pads.

Her wolf cloak was a deep brown, which almost matched her skin tone.

As for me, well...

I still had my axe strapped to my waist, and a spear and bow in my inventory; all three of my family knew about my 'crafting magic', so I felt no need to hide it.

Besides that, I wore a thin leather chest piece, some leather pants, and a white wold cloak; I had wanted to give it to Aethisia, since it matched her hair, but Rhefia had said that white was the color of a leader in the Dryadi Queendom, which made all three force me to wear it.

The gestured warmed my heart, and I simply couldn't refuse, even if I though that Rhefia should wear it at that point.

Seeing as we were all prepared, I smiled at each one before saying "Well then Rhefia, lead the way! We've a mountain to get to!"

Bit short, but I have a new game to play now, so yay me~

Still wanted to get something out though, and thought that this would be a good short chapter to get out, seeing as it would need to be explained anyways!
