章 198: Payday

Going down to the main hall, we turned in our vouchers and received our Gold, and I grew flustered as Sari dropped 20 Gold into my hands, smirking at me.

Before I could tell her to take her money back, Rhefia and Aethisia joined us, and I moaned as Rhefia pulled me into her embrace, drowning my mind in her musky mint scent.

Leaning down, she kneaded my ass before lifting the veil slightly, giving her access to my lips as she plunged her tongue into my throat, kissing me aggressively.

Moaning into her mouth, I returned her lustful embrace, melting into her muscular chest and relishing her blatant need for my body, before we were pulled apart by Aethisia.

Rhefia growled a little as she glared at our daughter, only to sigh as she ran her hands through her long hair, brushing it away from her antlers and out of her face.

"Fuck... alright, alright... Come on. Let's get paid before going home. The quicker I get to return to my rightful place inside Astra, the better."

Her voice was as husky as always, and I shuddered as her hand fell back onto my ass, the Deerkin uncaring of the looks we got from the others as we approached the payment counter once more.

Fighters and betters gave way when they saw Rhefia approach, muttering quietly to themselves as they looked at both of them.

Sitting behind the counter was the Wolfkin woman from earlier, a rather odd smile on her lips as she looked between us all.

"Hello again! Seems my changing jobs wasn't as terrible as I believed it to be today. Ahem... may I see your forms please?"

Nodding, Rhefia tossed her paper onto the counter, while Aethisia gently laid hers down, staring intently at the Wolfkin.

Giving her sister a look, Camara slipped to stand beside Aethisia before turning to inspect the Wolfkin, curiosity dancing in her muddy crimson eyes.

Leaning into Rhefia's side as she slipped her fingers into my cunt, I held in a moan before needing to bite my tongue as Sari's fingers joined in as well, the Catkin smirking at Rhefia.

"Think we could talk before you ravish Astra~?"

With the two women churning my pussy up with their needy fingers, I blanked as I was sandwiched between them, their addictive scents washing over me.

Rhefia's mint was very much ingrained into my mind at this point, and I doubt I'd ever grow tired of it in millions of years.

Sari's vanilla, on the other hand, was a contrast to her personality; it was a warm, comforting scent that did nothing to compliment her sadistic, dominant style.

However, I was rather enamored by both those scents, and to have them so blatantly fucking me with their fingers in public while pressing me between them...

Oh, it was heaven~!

Of course, it was also rather rude to do, and rather... unwarranted, so Camara sighed and glared a the two, making Rhefia shrug and Sari smirk as they pulled their fingers out, licking off my juices as they continued to glare at one another.

Panting, I leaned against Rhefia still before muttering "R-Rhefia... y-you two s-should talk... Please..."

Growling softly, she stared at me for a moment before nodding, her eyes holding reluctance as she said "Fine, love. I'll talk. But, if you're not wrapped around my cock all of tonight, we'll have issues."

Nodding, I rested my head against her chest as I stared at the Wolfkin, who was staring at the papers before scribbling down some notes, her ears twitching as she likely heard what just happened.

However, she remained quiet before eventually turning around, smiling at Aethisia first.

"Alright, first... Miss Aethisia, your total earnings from the Gauntlet is... hah..."

Shaking her head, she gave us a wry smile as she looked around, gesturing to the armed guards to free up some space.

Dropping her tone, she said "Your earnings are 194 Gold and 50 Silvers, as well as a set of vouchers each worth 20 Gold to both the Courtesan Palace and the Tusk City Forge, so that you may relax and get yourself a new weapon. That includes the bonuses you made from the bounties."

We all stared blankly at the Wolfkin - Sari included - and she chuckled wryly as she said "Yeah... if you think that's insane, well... yeah."

Taking a deep breath, she turned to Rhefia next, smiling at her as she said "As for you, Miss Rhefia, your earnings are 266 Gold and 90 Silvers, as well as a set of vouchers each worth 50 Gold to the afformentioned establishments. Again, that includes bonuses you made from the bounties."

I felt my mind blank completely at her words, before I turned and tentatively asked Rhefia "Why... How did you..? 266 Gold?"

She seemed just as confused as me, and the Wolfkin gave us that same wry smile as she explained "Your displays on the first day were rather... eye catching. Someone who fought with precise skill and another who seemed to have such incredible speed and strength? That drew spectators, and overnight the betting for you both went up a lot. Then, after your first match today, everyone became more excited and purses were loosened. Apparently... apparently a few people have visited from Birchan, and not just the Warriors Guild. They brought with them quite a lot of coin..."

Trailing off, she gave Sari a nod before pushing some papers forwards, saying "I hate to send you somewhere else, but the Arena can't afford to payout that large of an amount all in one lump sum, so you will need to travel to the bank. We... appreciate your patronage, and would like you to visit again."

We all heard the obvious reluctance in her voice as she said that last line, her eyes focused on Rhefia.

Taking the papers, we all walked out of the Arena, all of us silent as we looked between one another.

I had long since forgotten my arousal at Rhefia's and Sari's earlier actions, instead now focused on the amount of money we had managed to attain from just a few measly fights.

I mean, I made 58 gold in one night from just enjoying myself, but that was an unrealistic number in all honesty.

Consistently, I imagine I could earn around 10 to 20 Gold a night, so I would need to work roughly 15 days to get get what Aethisia earned in just an hour or so of fighting.

Though, I doubt Aethisia will be getting many matches inside the Arena now, and Rhefia...

Definitely isn't.

So, as we stood around the outside of the Arena staring at the various papers in our hands, I eventually had to get everyone focused - despite being flabbergasted myself - and get us back home for the time being, to discuss our actions going forwards.
