Brianna and Tina had changed their clothes.
Both women now wore thin bikini-style outfits that left almost nothing to the imagination.
Soft green and light-dark fabric covered only the bare minimum.
The thin cloth clung tightly to their bodies, clearly showing the half-erect shape of their nipples and the soft outline of their pussies beneath.
Brianna’s thick light-green thighs and full breasts moved freely with every step. Tina’s darker skin and long black hair contrasted sharply against the same revealing style.
They walked straight toward Kael.
Brianna’s green eyes carried a familiar heat from the previous night.
Tina’s crimson gaze was calmer but lingered on him just as long. Behind them the full orc and Ryn followed at a slower pace, both already noticing the two girls standing beside Kael.
Seraphine watched from Kael’s right side.
Her crimson eyes narrowed the moment she saw the way her stepfather’s gaze moved over the two barely-covered women.
The same calm face that had ordered her to take his cock deeper in the dream now looked openly entranced by Brianna’s thick green body and Tina’s dark curves.
A small spark of jealousy twisted in her chest before she crushed it down.
’Pathetic. You can only look. You can never do anything in real life.’
The thought was sharp and private.
She kept her expression cold and turned her face away slightly, blood-forged dagger still hanging loosely at her side.
On Kael’s left, Eira stayed pressed close against his arm.
Dual-colored hair still veiled to pure black, she looked at the approaching group with clear nervousness.
Her short skirt shifted as she moved even closer, seeking the only familiar protection she trusted in the noisy guild hall.
Brianna stopped a few steps away and smiled.
"Kael. You actually came."
Tina’s eyes flicked once toward Seraphine and Eira, then returned to him.
Kael rested a light hand on Eira’s shoulder and nodded toward the two girls beside him.
"These are my stepdaughters. Seraphine and Eira."
He then gestured toward the four members of the team.
"Seraphine, Eira. This is Crimson Path. Brianna, Tina, and their teammates."
Brianna gave a friendly nod, thick green breasts shifting under the thin bikini top.
Tina offered a quieter greeting, her gaze lingering a second longer on Seraphine’s transparent dress and the blood-forged dagger.
Seraphine returned only a cool, uninterested look. Eira stayed silent and half-hidden against Kael’s side.
A short exchange of small talk followed. Brianna asked if the girls were also registered with the guild.
Tina commented that Seraphine’s name was already known among the higher D-rank circles in Grayhollow.
The full orc remained quiet, arms crossed. Ryn kept glancing between Tina and Kael with clear dislike.
After a moment Tina turned fully to Kael.
"We talked last night. The team could use a permanent porter. Someone reliable who already knows how we move. You should join Crimson Path properly."
Brianna nodded at once, green eyes warm.
"I agree. You handled yourself well in that collapsed dungeon. Better to keep you with us than let another team grab you."
Ryn let out an open groan.
"We do not need another man on the team. Especially not a low-rank porter."
The full orc’s yellow eyes narrowed slightly as he looked Kael up and down, saying nothing but making his doubt clear.
Tina placed a hand on Ryn’s shoulder and spoke quietly but firmly.
After a short exchange the shota clicked his tongue and looked away, still unhappy but no longer openly arguing.
Brianna turned to her brother and said a few low words in their shared tongue. The full orc’s expression remained hard, yet he gave a reluctant nod.
Seraphine watched the whole exchange with growing irritation. She leaned closer to Kael and spoke in a sharp, low voice only he could hear.
"Are you really joining as a porter of a team instead of increasing your own strength? How much are you going to ruin the reputation of my mother?"
Kael met her crimson eyes without flinching.
"Do not worry, my daughter. I will increase my strength while fighting alongside them."
Seraphine’s lips curled slightly.
"Fighting? You are an E- rank. They will carry you. You will only slow them down and make Mother look like she married a useless man."
"Then I will stop being useless," Kael answered calmly. "That is the point of joining a well-known team."
Seraphine held his gaze a second longer.
The memory of the dream flickered behind her eyes again, the same calm voice, the same unshaken look, before she turned her face away with a quiet scoff.
Tina cleared her throat and looked back at Kael.
"There is a D-rank dungeon west of town that opened two days ago. Normal clear so far. No strange reports. We are taking it today to test how you move with the full team. The last dungeon was not normal. This one should be."
Brianna adjusted the thin strap of her bikini top and smiled.
"Pack light. We leave in thirty minutes."
Kael nodded. He turned back to the counter where Mira still stood watching the exchange with quiet interest.
"We need to register for the west D-rank dungeon. Full party of seven."
Mira pulled a fresh form from under the counter and began filling it out with practiced speed.
Her pen moved quickly across the paper while her eyes flicked once more toward Kael’s face.
"Names and ranks confirmed. Standard entry fee waived for the collapse survivors from yesterday. Sign here."
Kael signed.
The rest of the team added their marks one by one. When the form was complete Mira stamped it with the guild seal and handed over the entry pass.
"West gate portal is stable. Try not to collapse this one too."
Brianna laughed softly. Tina only shook her head. Ryn muttered something under his breath. The full orc remained silent.
Kael took Eira’s hand firmly in his own. Her small fingers tightened around his at once, still nervous but willing to follow.
Seraphine moved to his left side without being asked, transparent dress shifting with each step, the dagger resting against her hip.
Brianna and Tina walked ahead of the group, their barely-covered bodies drawing the usual lack of attention from the other adventurers in the hall.
The seven of them stepped out of the guild together into the bright morning streets of Grayhollow.
The group walked west along the main road.
Morning crowds moved around them without interest.
Bare skin and thin cloth were too common to draw stares.
Brianna and the full orc led at the front. Ryn walked a few steps behind them, still glancing back now and then with open dislike.
Tina suddenly drifted to Kael’s side.
She nudged Seraphine just enough to claim the space and fell into step beside him.
The thin bikini fabric shifted with every movement, soft dark breasts and the clear outline of her nipples rising and falling as she walked.
"Both of your daughters seem different in personality. One seems to hate you and the other one seems to be too timid to hate anybody," Tina said, voice low and slightly amused.
"The vampire is well known in the guild."
Kael kept one hand gently on Eira’s head, fingers slowly stroking through the pure black hair the Ring of Veil allowed.
Eira walked in silence, small body relaxed for once.
The open air, the sunlight, the simple freedom of leaving the house after so long seemed to ease the constant tension in her shoulders.
She stayed pressed against his side and said nothing, simply enjoying the outside world she so rarely saw.
"They are my responsibility even if they hate me, I have to take care of them," Kael answered.
Tina smiled and leaned a little closer.
Their arms brushed. Soft dark skin against his sleeve. The scent of her body mixed with the faint residual heat from the previous night.
"Responsibility looks good on you," she murmured.
"Better than the quiet porter face you wore two days ago."
Kael’s free hand moved without hurry.
It slid down Tina’s bare back, past the thin string of her bikini, and settled firmly on the soft curve of her ass. His fingers gripped the warm flesh once, hard enough to leave a brief mark.
Tina’s breath caught. A small, sharp squeal escaped her throat before she could stop it.
The sound was quiet. Only Kael, Eira, and Seraphine heard it clearly over the noise of the street.
Eira’s dual-colored eyes flickered sideways for a second, then returned to the road ahead.
She did not pull away. The simple pleasure of walking under the open sky still held most of her attention.
Seraphine saw everything.
Her crimson eyes locked onto the hand that now rested openly on the dark elf’s bare ass.
The same hand that had forced her head down in the dream.
The same calm expression on her stepfather’s face while he groped another woman in broad daylight.
A complicated heat twisted in her chest.
’He always groveled in front of Mother. Always quiet. Always obedient. When did he suddenly become this proactive with other women?’
The memory of the golden chamber, the thick cock stretching her lips, and the rough voice ordering her to drink every drop rose without permission.
Her pussy gave a single unwanted throb under the transparent dress.
Seraphine turned her face away and kept walking, blood-forged dagger swinging lightly at her hip.
Kael did not remove his hand.
Tina’s soft ass remained warm under his palm as the group continued toward the west gate and the D-rank dungeon that waited beyond it.
The streets of Grayhollow slowly thinned as they left the denser market district behind.
The west road opened wider. Distant trees marked the edge of the forest where the dungeon portal stood.
Morning light caught the thin fabric of Brianna’s and Tina’s bikinis, the transparent dress Seraphine wore, and the short skirt that still occasionally flashed pale lace on Eira’s thighs.
Kael walked in the center of the formation with one timid girl holding his hand, one sharp-tongued vampire on his left, and one dark elf whose bare ass still rested under his palm.
The test dungeon waited ahead.
