I'm a forest ranger, why would I enslave a succubus?

Chapter 494: Food Party and Forbidden Passage
While eating and chatting.

I unexpectedly discovered that the halfling Lily also had experience in submitting heroic stories to newspapers.

It is said that there are many bards in the Chivalrous Alliance, and they are all good at making up stories.

If you stay with them, you will inevitably be pushed around.

So when Lily was bored, she would pick up her pen and write down stories of chivalry, but what she wrote were all short stories, different from Demia's long and heavy-flavored pornographic novels.

The two girls had similar interests and hit it off right away after chatting.

After dinner, we made an appointment to go to the Quartz Town Night Market on New Rank Street and explore the mysterious bookstores hidden there.

Rhodes had no intention of getting involved in activities between girls.

Pack up a large platter of grilled scorpions, grilled birds, and grilled snakes and take them back for Bond and Tracy to try.

But when I arrived at her residence, I found that she was not at home.

The tree spirit Vivian, the half-deer man Xiao Ke and the pony girl Bond live together. Not only the pony girl, but also the other two are not there.

Rhodes sent Vivian the [Chain of Far Words], and only then did he know that their dinner today was a walking dinner party.

It's called a food party.

They would wander in the forest together, pick and taste ripe wild fruits, and share them until they were full.

In other words, the three of them just happened to have similar habits, and they all needed to eat wild fruits at irregular intervals.

The other girls in the forest rarely participated.

The elf Callister would do the same, but she was used to being alone, and would only act alone.

soon.

Rod saw the girls and their group in the pine tree area.

There are more than three of them.

The expressionless tree spirit Vivian walked side by side with the kind-looking half-deer man Xiao Ke, who was holding the pony girl Bond.

The one walking in front seemed to be the giant squirrel Tracy, who was acting as a pioneer. She found a long branch from somewhere and was waving it around in her short hands.

Some other Lotatosk gray squirrels who came from the tree world for vacation also gathered together.

Some of them climbed on little Bond and played around. One spoke the language of gray squirrels, and the other spoke the common language of the continent. It was not known whether they could understand each other, but they were communicating anyway.

Some of them sat directly on Xiao Ke's deer back, or lay down with their bulging bellies to rest, or hugged Xiao Ke's waist and screamed from the bumping.

Fortunately, the other gray squirrels are much smaller than Tracy, otherwise Xiao Ke would not be able to carry them.

It was more about competing for the position on Vivian's shoulders and head.

After all, she is a tree spirit, which makes her more popular with gray squirrels.

The fluorescent plants in the forest glow in the darkness as the food-walking party grows in number.

They are all cute and beautiful girls or cute creatures, so it would be strange if they were not good-looking.

Rhodes was also slightly stunned when he saw this scene.

I always feel that this is the treatment that a runaway princess in a Disney animation deserves.

Rhodes walked forward slowly.

Vivian discovered him before he showed up.

She turned her head and looked into the dark woods. As the sound of crushing leaves approached, the members of the dining party were stunned. The lively atmosphere suddenly froze, and they all looked straight over there.

It wasn't until Rhodes showed up with a food box that they cheered again.

"Good evening, everyone."

Rod greeted with a smile.

"Rod!!!" Bond broke free from Xiao Ke's hand and ran over cheering.

"What? It's Mr. Rhodes. I thought it was my chance to show off my skills!"

Tracy, the big squirrel who had been hiding behind Vivian at some point, said this.

She swung the branch spear in her hand again, intending to spin the spear around fiercely, but her hands were too short and she hit her head with a snap.

"Why are you being so sneaky? It's so scary!"

Xiao Ke was timid to begin with, and at this moment he patted his chest with lingering fear.

Because of the fat storage in winter, the half-deer girl's chest has become much larger. It is trembling in this shot, which is quite attractive.

But she immediately noticed that Rhodes was staring at her, and her face turned red.

She quickly protected it with her petite arms and glared at him angrily.

Then he felt it was too ambiguous, so he secretly observed Vivian and was relieved when he knew she didn't notice.

As for Vivian.

She had already moved close to Rhodes' arms, kissed his neck gently, and then slowly left, standing beside him motionless, just making room for little Bond to rush in.

During the time outside of the [Lustful Imprint] period, she would recover the tree spirit's lack of emotions. Although she would stay close to Rhodes, she would not think about sticking to him all the time.

Rhode rubbed the back of her neck affectionately, leaned over and whispered, "Are you still wearing the spider silk stockings I gave you?"

Vivian blinked her innocent big eyes, which were shining white, and nodded.

"Take it to the brothel tonight. I want to see you wear it."

"Socks, uncomfortable."

The girl expressed her feelings directly.

Tree spirits don't like clothes that are too tight, as it is said that this will affect their contact with the power of nature.

"Okay, next time I'll have Yuna knit you a loose pair."

Rhodes naturally wouldn't force it.

But Vivian hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Cut it, make it shorter, Vivian, yes."

Is it acceptable to be shorter?
Rhodes thought about it for a moment.

Among a series of girls wearing white silk stockings, there appears a pure and lovely girl wearing white silk stockings.

Seems pretty good.

"Okay, let Xiao Ke help you shorten it, she can."

"Vivian, cut it short, Rod, don't, ignore it, Vivian." There was almost no change in the eyes shining with white light, but a hint of uneasiness could be vaguely seen.

Rhodes smiled and kissed her forehead.

"I will never ignore you, because I love Vivian the most."

"Vivian, like, Rod, too. Like the forest, too."

Like the forest.

This is probably the most noble love of the tree spirit.

Improving Vivian's obedience is actually simple. It's nothing more than protecting the forest.

When I drove away the Withered not long ago, I actually increased it by two points slightly, and it has now reached 98, which is still the highest among the many enslaved objects.

Rhodes had a hunch that the slavery spell would change slightly after the obedience level reached 100.

wait
Is Bond growing again?
The little pony girl in his arms, hugging his waist and acting coquettishly, had a thick and solid chest, which made him feel embarrassed.

Xiao Ke seemed to have noticed something.

He came over with a frown and cautiously pulled Bond away.

"Hey, what are you doing here? You're not joining our walking food party."

The tone was dissatisfied, but there was a hint of expectation.

This is what tsundere looks like.

Even if I wanted him to participate, I would never tell him.

Rhodes picked up the food box and said with a smile:
"I brought some snacks for everyone."

"Snack!"*2
Bond and Tracy were both delighted.

The other squirrels responded.

As soon as the food box was opened, the aroma of barbecue spread instantly.

Xiao Ke was stunned for a moment, then became furious: "You're causing trouble! You're disrupting our food walk! The food walk is for vegetarians!"

"Why are you still eating vegetarian food in the middle of winter? Eat more of this to supplement your protein."

Rhodes smiled and took out the roasted scorpion and handed it to Xiao Ke.

The half-deer man was timid, and the girl was generally afraid of these insect foods, so I wanted to tease her.

But unexpectedly, the other party's small nose sniffed twice and showed an expression of interest.

"You are not afraid?"

"What are you afraid of? Scorpions?" Little Keqi said, "Before you came, I would often go to the edge of the Death Desert to catch scorpions and roast them for food. It was only after you gave Bond some food money every once in a while that I stopped going."

"Forehead"

It was a mistake. Little Keben was a beast man, and certainly not as spoiled as the city girl in her previous life.

talking.

Xiao Ke wiped her hands, picked up a roasted scorpion with her two snow-white fingers, and put the whole thing into her mouth to chew.

Show a satisfied smile.

As for everyone else.

Not to mention little Bond, who loves to eat everything.

The giant squirrel Tracy was a little hesitant at first, but since Bond enjoyed the food so much, she followed suit and tried it too.

Vivian only tasted a little, then sat on a rock, quietly tearing off a small piece of snake meat.

"It's delicious! Humph. You should try it soon, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

"Well, forget it."

Honestly.

Although Rhodes brought it here, he himself doesn't eat roasted scorpions.

Xiao Ke looked at him curiously with his round deer eyes, as if he saw through something.

With a maternal smile on her face, she removed the tail and head of one of the scorpions.

"Come on, it's not scary now, right? Open your mouth, ah——"

talking.

She held the roasted scorpion and handed it to Rhodes' mouth, intending to feed him.

Noticing Rhode's gaze, she blushed. "I'm not trying to feed you! I just think it's rude of you to pay for something without tasting it!"

Rhodes didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he stepped forward and bit her green fingers together in his mouth.

By the way, I teased it a few times with my tongue.

Xiao Ke froze, glanced at Vivian who hadn't noticed, and quickly pulled it out.

"You you pervert"

The night breeze blows.

The food walk turned into a grilled food tasting event.

Everyone sat together, chatting and eating.

Rhodes had already finished his meal, so he asked Xiao Ke about Coral Bay.

In order to deal with the difficulty of the dark elf sorcerer's ability to be resurrected continuously, Callister has been discussing and researching countermeasures with Xiao Ke.

The prophetic ability of the half-deer man can verify Calliste's ritual to a certain extent.

Xiao Ke sighed, not too optimistic:

"Currently, the only thing that can absolutely prevent resurrection is the [Victory Pod] in your hand. Miss Callister's [Hound Devil Feast] can deeply bind the recipient's body and soul, but it only has a 50% chance of success.
The [Dog Demon Feast] can usually only target one person, and setting it up consumes a lot of mana and spell materials."

“The price/performance ratio is too low.”

"That's right, so Callister began to change her mindset and turned to studying the spell to seal the Infernal Passage. So, a while ago, I went to the Sword Coast with you to look for the relevant spell materials."

As Xiao Ke spoke, he tore off the tail, feet and head of a roasted scorpion.

He looked up and saw that Vivian was not paying attention to him, so he secretly put it on Rhodes's plate.
