"Oh? How gracious of you." She twisted her fingers. "Now, would you be a dear, and tell me, why you came to me? Also, I am looking for a certain friend, do you know where she is?" Kina continued whispering sweet words, sucking any information she could, from the woman, as she made her coil from pleasure.
"Mmm... do you do anything other than work here? Hobbies? Other jobs?" (Sorry for the massive delay in replying.)
@Tjf "Alright, I'll take the front. What about you two?" Kyouka said as she aims at the group in front of them.
"Not really, sir. I was thinking of watching some kabuki shows, but apart from that, nothing. I came from the Yokuboo Domain, so I haven't had time to settle in yet." (No problem. I haven't been speedy myself lately.)
The spiders move around at the edge of the torchlight. Chitsukiko decides to turn with Jian, while the ronin turns with Kyouka. Seeing that their ploy isn't working, the spiders decide to go for a brute force approach. From the front and rear, two spiders leap forwards at Kyouka and Jian, while two more on either side rush in to attack.
Once the spidered charged, Kyouka fires her matchlock once. Before slinging it behind her, and drawing her sword. She immadiately cuts down the rest with a quickdraw of her katana.
The spider jumping at her flies back as the bullet hits it, and together with the ronin the next few arachnids are cut down. Kyouka feels a jolt, however, as she cuts down the last one. The spider attached its web to her blade, and now other spiders drag back its corpse, the line going taut as they pull the body further and further away, making Kyouka have to fight to keep a hold of her katana. One of the spiders jumps at her, but is bisected by the ronin, who tries not to tremble at being surrounded by her phobia.
"I think it's the former thief... but I don't know. I'd like him under a closer watch, if that's possible. What was the other one of my missions? Negotiating between the clan and a samurai?"
"We'll put some people on him. That problem with the samurai is resolved, I think. Lord Shintaro's bastard talked them down. Speaking of the lord, he said he wanted to see you when you were done, up in his room in the palace."
Together with Chitsukiko, Jian is able to kill multiple spiders with his bow and blade. One feints towards him, and Chitsukiko nocks an arrow to defend her lover, only to be surprised when it jumps at her instead. The creature's bulk knocks her off of her feet, and she collapses onto her back, bow abandoned as she tries to hold back its snapping, malformed fangs from injecting its victim with venom. Chitsukiko's head lies perilously close to the edge of the torchlight, and he can see the shapes of the less brave spiders approaching her, eager for easy prey. As he looks, another spider leaps towards him.
"Ugh. Little help here?" Kyouka groaned, desperately struggling to pull back her sword. She calls to the ronin to cut the web, but it the arachnid's web was too tough, Kyouka will begrudgingly let go of her blade if there was no other way to break it free.
“Good.” Midori nodded. “But enough about that. Let's talk about something more fun...”The two spent some time chatting about random things, Yuki helping Midori prepare for the tea ceremony. Soon it was time. “Alright, time for me to go and find the right place. I'll see you later, Yuki.” Midori smiled at her sister before leaving. (Feeling a bit out of it due to lack of sleep, so replies will be rather slow and (probably) of not very high quality. Sorry about that.)
The woman lets out a loud moan. "T-To see...if you had...questions. Ohh!" Kina can feel her pussy twitching, and has to repeat her description of her target as the woman is lost in pleasure. "F-Friend? Inobi-san, that sounds like. Third...floor, you'll find her...Ah!" Lola loses her footing, clinging to Kina to avoid falling.
Heading onto the Avenue of Blossoms, she quickly sees the Terada estate, a large walled compound with the mon banners of Clan Terada surrounding it. As she goes to knock on the large oaken gates, a samurai approaches from the street, evidently also headed inside the compound. As Midori looks up at him, she realises that he's massive, almost seven feet tall. He gives Midori a respectful bow. "Good day, madam. Do you have business inside?"
At the last moment, the ronin cuts straight through the web. Seeing their ploy fail, the spiders begin to withdraw, heading around to Jian's side. There, Kyouka sees Chitsukiko on the ground with a spider atop her and several others moving in to attack, while another one prepares to jump at Jian.
Jian ducked under the spider's leap, cutting its legs while he did. Spinning around to Chitsukiko, he tackled the spider off her.
