Yare Yare Spoke and impossible buff looking guard spoke. Strange dress but at least remotely Minkaian looking.
Oh, what fair maiden do we have here?
Said the other one, his hair as while as hers, but gelled up straight and just as muscled as the first guard.
Who are you, you do not look, speak, walk or smell like the other guards. Setsuna asked
Perhaps we arent guards? Spoke the black haired one.
Oh Noes, you let our cunning secrete out! spoke the white haired one.
What do you want from me?She asked
We will make you an offer you can refuse, but totally shouldnt because that would be stupid.
Do you want me to work for the Shogunate?She asked, her mind racing.
No, and kindly dont imply that we are working for it, the Lady we serve is far more classy Said the black haired one.
And can put the demon Shogun over her knee and give him une good spanking. Said the white haired one.
Do you even know what her spanking rates are? Minkai would be even more bankrupt then it already is! Remarked the black haired one.
Good Sirs, you make limited sense at most and...
Seriously, nobody on this plane gets any references. Said the black haired one.
Here is le deal Madmoiselle. You agree to worshipp our Lady in Shadow, and perform one task of some importance for her. In return, we will teleport you out of this prison, close to a place called Sandpoint, where the Shoguns enforcers cannot possibly reach you.
Lady in Shadow? Wait, Nocticula, Queen of the Abyss? Lust, murder, secrets and Shadows?
Also, redemption, artists, exiles and the glories of midnight! Said the white haired one.
Which is totally not a ploy to lure in worshippers and corrupt them right? Setsuna asked, rolling her eyes.
Oh well, you drive a reasonable hard bargain.
Very well, I add in a lump sum of 3000 gold to get you started in your new life, a letter of recommendation and we will fake you having committed suicide while in prison so your family is not punished for your escape. I will also add that the task you will have to peform will be the opposite of an assassination. Said the Black haired one, who was apparently in charge.
Why would you want me as a Bodyguard? You are far more powerful then I am?
Not for us, obviously, and to be honest, we cant be arsed to protect her ourselfs. So, you get your life, your freedom, and a new job.
Very well, I accept your terms. Sirs? She askd
Lady Joetaroja Said the black haired one as she transformed into a black haired, strikingly beutifull winged human. Horns and tails clearly identifying her as a Succubus-Youkai.
Lady Polnareva Said the white haired one, who underwent a similar transformation and then casually kicked the prisons door in.
This forms are hilarious the white haired one said as she, with surprising gentlness touched Setsuna and teleported.
Are the names and forms supposed to mean something? She asked.
It seems that you went through a lot of effort well, crafting them, some reference I cannot know or grasp? Some bizzare adventure perhaps?
Both of the Youkais heads snapped towards her, with a degree of puzzlement or respect evident in their eyes.
I think you will do excellently, this: the black haired one spoke
as she conjured the image of a Tian Min women.
Is Ameiko Kajitsu. Keep her alive, healthy and under the control of her own free will for a period of 10 years, and the service granted to you by the agents of our Lady in Shadows will be considered repaid.
Change of plans. Said the black haired one.
Yeap, Rovagug does stupid Qlippoh s$$%, just go and murder this disgusting clown-Gnoll, and keep these less disgusting clowns from dying.
A portal opens as Setsuna is unceremoniously yeeted into a raging battle.
