Jian carried Chitsukiko to Priya's chamber. He grunted, as he laid down Chitsukiko, 'Looks like there's not just the air that's made of aphrodisiac. She was bitten by some insect.'
She sees about a dozen men in the prison yard, wearing bits and pieces of mismatched nanban and Hattori armour, with cutlasses at their sides, matchlocks strung across some of their backs. A man approaches her as she enters the yard, looking her up and face. He's in his early thirties, with handsome features obscured by a strip of fabric covering one eye, a thick layer of dirt over his face, and an atrocious looking pencil moustache. He gives her an elaborate bow, before answering in the same language. "How may we help you, madame?"
“'The Black Widow'? This Oichi woman, you mean?” Midori raised an eyebrow. “Now I'm getting worried – that name does not inspire confidence. I promise I will be careful, sis. I would tell you not to worry, but honestly, I'm getting a little worried myself.” She admitted.
"Greetings. I hear from a certain lord that you and your men are looking for well paying employment. Is he right?" Kyouka said with a smile.
"Ah, I see." Priya nods. "Leave your beloved here, and I shall care for her." Priya holds out a hand to Jian, and he sees a deadly looking black spider on it. Its legs pull back, and it hops onto his shoulder. "My friend here should be small enough to evade the vines. Keep her with you, and she shall kill any insect that approaches you."
"Nah, Oichi isn't the Black Widow, the sister, Kyouka, is. She allows anyone to challenge her to a duel, and lets them have her body if they win. Now, I don't think you'll challenge her to a fight, though who knows, but just be careful. She might not be all there." Yuki grunts. "I've heard bad things about Oichi, though. They say she's a schemer and a slaver. Worse than Kyouka, that's for sure." She shakes her head. "Just, don't be afraid to ask for help."
'Uh, hello there,' Jian looked at the spider, before he looked at Priya, 'Thanks, she'll probably wake again soon.' Jian turned make his way back to the tunnel.
"Indeed, this gentleman, whomever he might be, was correct." The one eyed man draws closer. "Work, and good company." He flashes her a grin. "So, what are you offering?" He catches himself. "My apologies, I've forgotten to introduce myself. I am Manuel de la Oro, captain of the Santa Cruz. Well, former captain. These are the former crew." The group talks among themselves.
The spider looks up at him, chittering affectionately. Back down in the tunnel, the vines strike again, multiple of them emerging from the walls to his sides. He manages to hear one snaking up behind him, as well.
“Ah, I see. Well, from the little I saw of her during the trip Kyouka is not so bad. Maybe if one challenges her to a duel... but I am not interested in fighting her, so it should be fine. I'm honestly more worried about Oichi – I can't shake the feeling that this thing with the shipyard might be a scam... but we'll see.” She gave her sister a reassuring smile. “I promise I will ask for help if I need it – I know I can't handle everything on my own.”
Jian drew his sword and cut through the vines coming at him, whirling around to cut the one sneaking up on him.
"Fufu." Kyouka chuckles as Manuel replied, "Kyouka Mitsurugi." She introduces herself, giving him a cheeky smile. "As for what I'm offering, I can promise you well paying employment. If you can prove yourselves that is." She then approaches him slowly, leaning close to his ear "As for company, I don't mind paying with my body as well. But, you'll have to prove yourself that, much, more." She whispered in a sultry tone.
Finally, they leave him alone, after he carves through multiple of them. A group of insects move up towards him, but the spider jumps off of his shoulder and attacks them, tearing them apart. Afterwards, the two of them are alone in the bioluminescent chamber. The spider jumps back on Jian, bubbling with excitement. The foreign warrior gets the idea that the arachnid wants to be petted. Looking forwards, he sees a stone door, a horrific demon face carved into the center.
Jian looked at the spider and raised an eyebrow, 'Good work, little fellow.' He rubbed his finger over the spider behind it's many eyes. Before he turned to the door, 'I hope the door is just decorative and not telling what's behind it.' He tried to figure out how to open the doors.
"Yhm!" Kina groans as the woman pinched her nipple. She could feel her hands traveling over her body, exploring it, yet only removing the clothes over her breasts. She cupped them, pinched them, groped them - until she climaxed again, from only having her tits toyed with. Then she became limp, breathing heavily, her head leaning against the woman. "Yhmmm!" Only to arch again, as the woman slid her hand into Kina's snatch. The MILF opened up her legs, allowing better access, allowing the stranger to make her climax time after time, her sex juices gusihng, her savila covering her chin. When finally her gag was removed, she could barely speak "Who are you?" She asked, her throat dry. Was the woman enemy or friend?
Kyouka's grin widens as they look interested, "Well, the usual would be a one on one sword duel. If you win, your prize is my body for a day. If you lose, you die." She said as she begins to walk around slowly, making sure to sway her hips with every step. "But If we do it that way, it'll take all day. So, I have another job you can do to prove yourselves. Finish it, and you may consider yourself employed. Booze, meals, gold, a place to sleep. You name it, and I'll help you get it. Interested?"
“Thanks, sis. I'll do my best.” Midori smiled back. “Anyway, it's getting late. We should probably go to sleep.”
