[Yuki has joined your party!]

Chika and Clyde angrily muttered in sync, walking side by side in step .

"I told her that splitting up was a stupid f.u.c.king idea . Now look, we're totally lost . Her dumba.s.s agent disappeared," Clyde said .

"This whole splitting up in a G.o.dd.a.m.n house of death was a stupid idea . Now look, we're lost! Stupid succubus," Chika said .

Kitome whacked Clyde on the shoulder .

"You're our team leader," she said . "Don't let some b.o.o.by monster take control of the team . "

Alice sighed .

"My cousin's… a little too focused on finding this mystery room and first . "

"I can sense where we're going," Sahara said, her voice cool and serene . "We're still on the right path . I came with this group because of this very reason . And…I don't want to miss out on watching Ashfall finally…fall . "

She paused as if waiting for a laugh . They stared at her blankly .

"Nya, don't try that again," Neko said . "I'll have to Pun-ish you . "

Clyde and Chika simultaneously groaned . Nya smiled innocently . Yuki, Harumi, Yusuke, and Toru glared but continued forward in silence . Seth chuckled .

"Neko, you're welcome to punish me," he said, grinning .

Neko rolled her eyes .

"I'm not allowed to cheat on Clyde," she said then smiled, false innocence glistening in her eyes .

Clyde flinched as he felt the jealousy auras skyrocket from the women . Saving him was the appearance of a maid, staring at them with wide eyes .

"Yuki, you're alive," she rushed into Yuki's arms, tears falling from her eyes . "He hurt me, Yuki . He hurt me so much . All of us . "

She cried .

"It's okay, we're here to end this . Go gather the others . Get them out—"

"Yuki, who are these people? His orders were to," the maid's eyes widened further as she took in Alice . "What's going on?"

"Listen to me," Yuki said, both of her hands on the maid's shoulders . "Rouse the others, get them to safety . My friends and I are here to end the Ashfall reign . "

"There's only four them here," the maid said . "And they're…" she cried . "They're beating, torturing, raping anyone in sight . His orders were to find Alice or it won't end . I'm so scared . I was considering killing myself . "

The building began to shake as Clyde's white aura oozed then violently outlined him . His eyes s.h.i.+ned with indignation .

"Never claimed to be so f.u.c.king hero of justice," he muttered, "but if I can stop it, it's better than being a bystander . Let's go . "

"Wait," the maid said, "there are guards in that hall . "

Her warning didn't matter . The shaking of the mansion probably sprang the four charging armored guards into action .

[Your party has entered combat . ]

Toru led the charge, engaging his first foe with an onslaught of well-done martial arts . To Clyde's surprise, he didn't have to intervene, the guard was down in seconds .

"These aren't elites," he said . Seth, Chika, and Harumi downed the others with little effort .

[Battle completed . Victory! Reward: 2000 EXP and $200 . ]

Clyde strolled forward, Alice flanking on one side, Chika on the other . The maid reluctantly obeyed Yuki's orders, her last warning being,

"there's an Ashfall on the other floors . Nezerath's main office is on the fifth floor . The top . "

After slaughtering more guards, the party eventually found a staircase that led to the second floor .

Tear's Party… .

Tear nodded in approval as her team dismantled the guards with little effort . She and Natalia didn't have to move a muscle . She knew Clyde probably hated her idea of splitting apart, but there's nothing more annoying than attracting too much attention with a megsized group . Besides, she had to find out what was in that room . And recover her agent, if possible .

"This mansion is surprisingly bland," one of the magical girls said . "Generic boring red carpet, as if poorly trying to hide those blood stains . Few windows and paintings of boring old men and monsters . Most of it looks overcleaned, as if the maids in this place were giving themselves something to do . "

Tear shuddered, feeling sympathy for the women . The Ashfall family were among the cruelest of the demon houses . They contribute to the reason why demons are seen as evil . What she'd give to tear Nezerath's limbs off one by one . Thanks to Melody's hard work, the barrier was disabled, allowing them to get here in the first place . Clyde had to realize that courting Alice is to court her supporters . She'd love to get him in bed for a few hours—that'd be the start to teaching a stone how to…take control of things .

"Stop with your pervy thoughts and look at this, Tear," Nattie said . The loli-witch knelt over to show three multi-colored b.u.t.tons . Ahead of them was a warded door, which survived Melody's a.s.sault . A ward this strong had to be hiding something .

"I'm pretty sure his maids know the combination," Tear said . "Hold this position . I detect one sleeping . Poor girl, I think she's been raped for hours by the pigs . "

[Tear activated Dream Jump]

And immediately regretted it . The nightmare of the horrific s.e.xual a.s.sault raged in the maid's dream . She cried for help . A tear fell from the succubus's eye . Her glare hardened .

She held up a hand, more than willing to use the MP for her spell .

[Tear activated Dream s.h.i.+ft . ]

She took the maid to a field of sweet-smelling flowers and beautiful scenery . She approached gently, pulling the woman into a comforting hug .

"It's okay . I'm truly sorry for what happened to you . "

She oozed comforting magic into the maid . "I can help . We're here to help, but you'll have to cooperate . It's time to get all you out of this abuse . "
