No really, that was my bad

I decided to take it easy and go shopping with my tournament winnings (a.k.a. my reward from the Goddess).

By the way, Arthur-kun threw a fit saying "I want gold coins toooo! I don't wanna be left out!" so I gave him one large gold coin. It's all windfall money anyway, so I figured I might as well go on a shopping spree.

My companion for today is Dea-kun. We're doing matching gothic lolita sister coordinates.

Aishia stayed behind, saying "I don't want to get in the way of your date!"

… D-date? It's not like that.

"Alright, let's check out some accessories."

"If you want something, you could just ask the Five Elders to make it for you, you know? I think they'd sulk if they saw Karina-oneesama wearing store-bought gear."

"That's that and this is this!! I want to put authentic beastkin ear headbands (the tourist kind) on Dea-kun!!"

Since Terarialbee is the beastkingdom, they actually sell beastkin roleplay sets for tourists here.

For people who discriminate against beastkin, these apparently become props for some pretty hardcore kink called "degradation cosplay as a beast." Super lewd, I must say.

Dea-kun doesn't think that way though, so for him it's just cute beast ear dress-up.

"I wonder where they sell them."

"Um, I feel like we're getting a lot of stares…"

"Well, Dea-kun is the Tamer Tournament champion, and I did cause quite a scene at the tournament too."

Plus we're dressed like this. We can't help but stand out.

Plus plus, we're a pair of beautiful sisters. Huh? You're saying we can't be sisters because one of us is an elf? Well, yeah. And he's so cute I have to psych myself up just to walk next to him.

"Hmm, I wonder if dog ears or cat ears would suit Dea-kun better."

"You should wear some too, Onee-san… Like dragon horns or something."

Dragon horns…!? They have those too…!?

As we walked around looking for souvenir shops, a beastkin came barreling toward us, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"YOUUUU!! I found youuu, nyaaa!!"

"Oh, Misha. Glad to see you're doing well."

Misha. The cat beastkin whose socks I collected at the tournament after spanking her butt and riling her up. A super fun-to-tease cute kitty cat.

And the Goddess told me I could make her my slave if she ever tried to attack me.

"Wait, I'll protect Onee-san!"

Dea-kun stepped in front of me and glared at Misha.

Misha skidded to a stop just short of us.

"Huh!? What's with this brat? You're gonna protect her? … She's cute though. Super cute… H-hey you, what's with that cuteness… wait, cute… all I can say is cute, nyaa…!"

"Right!? Riiiight!? Cute is justice!"

"Uh, um…? Er. Onee-san?"

Dea-kun really is cute!

Misha! I feel like we could get along!!

"That's not the point, dammit! Here, Karina, take this!!!"

"Hm? What's this? A love letter?"

She flung a letter right at me. When I unfolded it, it turned out to be a challenge letter. How ordinary.

Apparently she wants to fight me again at a tournament.

"I'll get my revenge at that tournament, nyaaa!!"

"Huh? But Misha won, didn't she? Why do you need revenge?"

"You know exactly why you're saying that, don't youuu!? Because of you, I'm being called 'The Butt That Pleases God,' nyaaa!!"

"'The Butt That Pleases God'!?"

W-what the heck!? The Goddess prefers socks though…!?

If that misunderstanding spreads and people start offering butt-spankings to the Goddess instead, she might end up holding a grudge against me…

"Um, sorry about that… No really, that was my bad…"

"… When you apologize that sincerely, it kinda makes me want to forgive you, nyaa. B-but no! I won't forgive you, nyaa! So if you feel bad about it, enter that tournament, nyaa! Revenge, nyaaa!!"

Hmm. Well, I guess that's fine.

"You wanna enter too, nyaa?"

"… Yes, I'll protect Onee-san! If I win first, please give up!"

"Oho, sure thing. If that happens, I'll give up."

"W-wait, Dea-kun!"

"It'll be okay. With the equipment from the Five Elders… it'll be okay, probably…!"

And so, Dea-kun and I ended up entering the tournament that Misha specified.
