Chapter 134

The giant plushie Moved.

A cloud of screaming teenagers filled the air as they were explosively launched from the bed, the giant plush toy they were resting upon violently leaping forward and acting like a Lamia based catapult.

The only one not to be thrown off was of course Rose, and that was because Rain was tightly knotted, that, and she had known what was coming and wrapped her tail as tight as she could around the plushie.

She just about managed to keep her composure despite the sudden motion and the tugging knot and flung her arms up in the air in a wild use of magic. She was well aware that they weren’t likely to make it out the door with so many powerful levelers who were going to be very upset with her so she knew she had to do something.

Her magic roared and the air was instantly filled with not just damp teenagers but huge amounts of woolly stuffing, so much stuffing that it made it hard to see, a snowstorm of wool fluff that was flung against the Lamia to blind them, in particular Julia and Arissa who had been acting and not on the giant plushie. The two actors were instantly plastered from head to tail in white wool as Rain shot past, a clump even slamming into Julia’s open yelling mouth causing her to choke and gag.

Rain, inside the plushie, dove for the door and Rose snapped out an arm, a twist of cloth whipping around the door handle and hauling it wide before Rain could smash through the thing. It still broke against the wall as he blundered into it, his vision severely restricted in the bear head.

He crashed through into the hallway, crushing a table and vase and denting the wall before bouncing off and charging down the passage, colliding with hallway furniture and turning it into so much splintered shrapnel.

Rose hung on for dear life as he went, her tail looped around his hips as she was frantically bounced on the knot, each bounce causing her to gasp, her overly full taut belly sloshing and wobbling with every step as she desperately clutched at her ride.

Behind her came the howls of furious teenagers, the girls picking themselves up from the floor where they had been tossed, their faces and bodies which had been made damp by Rose were now half covered with woolly fluff, the fluff sticking to their damp skin and scales, as if they had been attacked by a herd of shedding sheep.

This made the teenagers very very angry.

There came a storm of slithering, outraged cries rising louder and louder, and magic quickly filling the air. The teenagers however got stuck in the bedroom door as all of them tried to jam through it at the same time, the Lamia’s natural size working against them,

That didn’t prevent them from using the magic and as Rain crashed around the corner a fireball splashed up the wall, the wallpaper igniting as the gold trim melted.

The flames barely missed a strip of cloth that was flying through the air in their wake, a strip of cloth that darted around the corner after Rain, whizzing between his legs and slipping onto Rose as he charged down the corridor. The strip of cloth circled the Lamia’s hips forming a skirt and making decent once more as the remains of her blouse formed together, stretching over her rounded stomach.

Just in time as they rounded another corner and nearly collided with a maid. The maid screamed as the giant plushie charged toward her, barely diving out of the way in time, the towels she was carrying flinging over her head.

Rain ran on. The howls of the teenagers were chasing them still, but the Lamia were falling behind now, only their voices echoing.

“There, left! Now right!” shouted Rose, her arm flying out to direct her plushie steed.

They fled until even the furious echoes were falling away. It seemed like they had made it, losing them in the maze of a mansion, only the occasional flabbergasted maid seeing them as they dashed past.

But that wasn’t to last and Rain staggered to a halt as he came into a corridor with a bespectacled Lamia in it, a Lamia with a gnoll upper body, his scales gradually transitioning into patterned fur around his hips. The Lamia was directing nearly a dozen maids who were struggling to fit an enormous hardwood draw filled office desk through a doorway and completely blocking the path forward, there was no squeezing around this, especially with the addition of the huge amounts of luggage, clearly he was one of those who had just returned to the city with Lord Wranvyre.

“Rose? What are you doing?” said the Lamia.

The teenager, who was fortunately made decent with her crudely made skirt, quickly patted her clothing down and arranged her hair, trying to make the best of things and make herself somewhat presentable despite being wrapped around a giant stuffed toy.

“Errr, I’m just on a walk ... with my ... new golem?”

The Lamia gnoll stared up at Rain blankly. Then at the teenager’s rounded belly.

“Are you pregnant? The first time I leave on a trip in years and I come back to-

“Y-yes- I’m preggers! Preggers with eggs and stuff! Totally have been for a while haha!” She blew a last strand of hair away from her face.

“Hmm, well I hope the father is of decent stock and not a useless waif from the slums, you would do well to learn from Millie’s mistakes.”

“Well they aren’t a waif, that’s for sure,” said Rose glancing up at the towering form of the plushie.

The Gnoll Lamia followed her gaze up to the teddy bear head.

“ ... That is quite an impressive piece of work if you don’t mind me saying, I hadn’t realised that you had leveled so much, your regular dungeon trips seem to have been paying off quite remarkably.”

“Aheh, y-yeah, that’s right, I’ve been going lots, and leveling, uh, lots so now I can make an entire wol- b-bear, teddy bear! G-golem thing! Just testing it out!”

“Hmm, perhaps I should join you on your next trip, that is if you wouldn’t mind? You seem to have a talent for leveling and I hate to think how much more destructive you will be killing monsters with such a thing as this on your side. My own work is suffering for want of mana that I just don’t have the levels for so it would seem especially pertinent to plan an excursion, Lynthia’s dungeon was simply not enough especially as the others were unmotivated in helping a half such as me.”

“Oh, uhh, sure! B-but right now I’m just giving the golem a test run, would you uhm, Mind? Moving? Maybe? Please? Like, right now, quickly?”

The Lamia tilted his head and then seemed to realise that his stuff was blocking the way.

“I will certainly try, come my servants, put your backs into it, it will surely fit if you just-”

A blood curdling scream of fury came from behind Rain and he glanced behind to see a dark purple scaled Lamia, her glasses askew, her body covered in clumps of white wool stuffing, her hair and clothing dishevelled and soaked, her eyes slightly crazed.

“ROOSEEEEEIAMGOINGTOKILLYOU!!” screamed Julia.

Azure fire began to coalesce around her hips in a halo, a ring of spinning flame.

Rain did not like the look of it in the slightest and swiftly decided he wanted nothing to do with this Lamia’s magic fire, especially as he was currently encased in what was likely an extremely flammable stuffed toy. It didn’t matter if the Lamia realised he was a monster or a golem, he would burn either way.

Rain jumped. Leaping up into the air, giant fabric enclosed feet coming down on the enormous office desk.
