The guards quickly moved next to the bandits, escorting them - the trio made no move to threaten the Kunoichi. Finally, the procession arrived at the mansion - the noble lady Mako was sitting by the table, blowing her pipe. Spoiler: Awarness 24 - 10 (tired) - fail The five bandits were forced by the guard on their knees, who stood behind them threateningly. Kiyoshi also knelt, showing her respect to the woman. "So, those are the bandits, hm...?" She looked over the prisoners. "Indeed, you've done me a boon, by capturing those scoundrels." The woman nodded satisfied. "Yet, we find ourselves in... troublesome situation. We want to reward you for the help against the bandits, yet at the same time, we want to punish you for an unlawful claim of our lands to create your village - a ninja village without the sanction of the local daimyo..." The noble woman said, showing just how much she knew.
Sana, you idiot!... Ah, whatever. I am too tired for this shit. “So these are your lands? No offense, but either you're not doing a very good job taking care of them, or you just don't care about your lands. Why else would there be a camp of almost twenty bandits just chilling around and robbing people as they please? Well, except when they pick on the wrong target, like those five did...” Maybe it was due to being tired, or maybe it was due to the realization that she was likely screwed and dead, if not worse, but Kiyoshi did not care if she offended the woman. “You seem to have already made your decision, so this conversation is pointless, and I'm too tired for games anyway. Just do what you want.”
The guards tensed, but the noble woman chuckled. "Not really good at negotiations, are you. At least you are honest, unlike your companion." She paused. "And I hate being lied to." She took a sip of tea. "I want to make you an offer." She paused. "Your clan will swear itself into my service... and I will aid you in setting your village up."
“I'm a kunoichi, not a diplomat.” Kiyoshi shrugged. “As for being lied to... I'm just guessing, since I don't know what Sana told you, but I don't think she lied to you, at least not intentionally. Most likely she chose to omit certain details, because either you're smart enough to figure them on your own, in which case why waste time telling you what you already know, or you're not smart enough to figure them on your own, in which case she'd be giving up an advantage by revealing too much. The most I can see her doing is trying to downplay our abilities, to make us seem less dangerous.” Hearing the offer Kiyoshi blinked in surprise. This was one of the things she had expected the least. “That... is most unexpected, I admit. I would have preferred to have the village established before we got to thinking about serving anyone, to have a better starting position for negotiations... but this works too. Sure, we'll serve you in exchange for your help.” Not like they had much choice, now that the woman had Sana and clearly knew where to find them. At best if they refused they would be forced to run away and start over; at worst they would get annihilated – and this possibility seemed a lot more likely.
Mako smiled as she heard Kiyoshi. "Good." She got up. "Very good." She looked at the bandits and considered them for a time. "I will offer you 50 coins of bounty for each of them." She said as she waved Kiyoshi to follow her. As they walked through the courtyard, she stopped next to a shed. "One more thing." At her sign, the shed was opened. Inside, she saw Sana - she was sitting on a wooden horse, trying to raise herself from the dildo-pole attached to the torture device that penetrated her pussy. It looked as if she was fucking it, constantly moving up and down. Her kimono was gone, only her garter, stocking and heels were on. A rope coiled around her upper torso, around her breasts and neck, binding her hands behind her back. Her body was covered with sweat, sex juices, bite marks and whip marks. Her eyes were slightly rolled back, her face screwed by desperation and pleasure. She squeezed the wooden horse with her legs as she raised, only to fall as she got tired and impale herself on the dildo. Her breasts bounced rhythmically and moans escaped her throat. She was surrounded by a couple of female and male guards. Finally, Sana noticed Kiyoshi. She looked at her pleadingly, desperately. "I will take her as my personal kunoichi - and a tribute from your village." Mako said. "Of course, she will be properly indoctrinated, to be loyal to me." She paused and looked at Kiyoshi. "I trust that this will not be a problem?" "Mhm~?" A hot moan escaped Sana.
“If you think she's worth the effort...” Kiyoshi shrugged – she was in no position to object. “While I think she would be more useful in the village, if you would rather keep for yourself... well, that is your decision, my lady.” She gave Sana an apologetic look that said Sorry, but I am not throwing my life away in a futile attempt to save you, then looked back at the lady.
"Mhm~!" Sana moaned, as one of the guards closed the shed. Lady Mako smiled. "Good that we understand each other." She nodded and waved her hand. A woman walked up to them with a package. "This is Hinshi. My bodyguard and right hand." She introduced the kunoichi. "In the package, you will find medicine. I will also send tools and building materials to your valley..." She paused. "That would be enough for you to start up your village, yes?" She asked. "Or do you need something more?"
“Let me think... medicine, tools and building supplies, and a place where we can buy more stuff if necessary... I think that's more than enough for now. We should be able to handle the rest on our own, barring any unforeseen disasters, like a major earthquake in our area. Thank you for your generosity, my lady.” Kiyoshi replied and bowed politely. She did not want to rely on the lady's goodwill too much just yet.
"Ah, I would forget." Kiyoshi stopped as the noble spoke. "250 gold coins for the capture of bandits." She said as she threw Kunoichi a bag with gold. "You can go now." her new liege nodded to her, allowing Mako to leave.
“Thank you, my lady. Good night.” Kiyoshi bowed to her new liege, then left and went searching for an inn to spend the night – she was too tired to travel back to the village right now.
After being given directions by the guards, Kiyoshi found a tavern. Already tired by an entire day of adventures, she collapsed on of the room she rented for 2 gold coins (diner and breakfast included) and promptly fell asleep.
@moonblack "Hmm~" a moan escaped Osa. Her kimono was wide open, revealing her massive chest, her panties rolled around her ankle, her obi laying on the ground. She pushed Iri's head deeper between her crotch. "Ah! Ah!" Next to her, Reina screamed orgasmically, as Li Zan energetically rammed into her ass. His wife grabbed the slave by hair and forced the lucky slave to eat her out. Few meters of to the side, the sisters were toying with Ogi, fingering her and denying her orgasm for quite some time already.
This is fun, but... it will get boring before long if I do nothing else... Osa let out another moan as Iri serviced her dutifully – and quite eagerly. Hmm, I think I will follow Sho's example and check out the nearby hills and mountains – she had pretty good luck going there... after I am done with this of course... “Hurry it up, slut! Don't... ooohhh... keep me waiting!” Osa commanded, though the effect was ruined a bit by her letting out another moan in the middle. “Damn, you're good at eating pussy! You must have a lot of experience...”
Iri did not answer, as she continued moving her tongue. Osa bit her lip as she felt the woman's tongue. The Kunoichi was herself, the best at pleasing others with her tongue - her skill gave her the advantage in that area. She looked to the side - giving the slaves to Zan family to take care of them was a good move. They kept the sluts nice and mellow, fucking them a couple of times a day. Osa threw her head back, as she felt an orgasm approaching.
“Ah... almost there... almost... AAAaaahhhhh!” Osa let out a loud and lewd scream as she came hard, squirting inside Iri's mouth. “Good slut. I'll see you later.” The kunoichi patted Iri's head after recovering from her orgasm, slapped the slave's ass once, and left to find Sho. “Sho, I'm heading out. I'll explore the hills and mountains and see what I find there. Take care of things here until I am back.” She said to her friend and occasional lover. “Wish me luck!” She lightly slapped Sho's butt and headed out.
Sho gave a yelp, as Osa's hand landed on the woman's but. It gave a nice splash. Osa made her way into the hills covered with forest. Spoiler: Random encounter 8 Osa travelled through the hills for quite a few hours. The sun started slowly setting. At this moment she realised she did not encounter anything... she could continue moving around, and checking the rest of area, but it could be dangerous...
How boring... I guess Sho is the one with the luck. Oh, well, at least I avoided any unwanted trouble. Time to head back... empty-handed. Hanging her head in disappointment Osa headed back – she was not stupid enough to risk continuing her search at night – not when she was alone.
As Osa returned, she found that Kiyoshi returned. She was talking with Sho - both of them were quite serious... and Sana was nowhere to be seen...
“What's going on? Did something happened? And where's Sana?” Osa asked as she moved closer to the pair.
Kiyoshi and Sho turned to her. "Well, there is some good news, bad news... and so-so news." Kiyoshi said as she started explaining the situation. "Basically, we gained resources for buildings, some gold for bounty and medicine to heal Kome - already gave her some. She should be okay tomorrow." She paused. "The bad news is that Sana pissed of a local noblewoman, got captured, interrogated and is being indoctrinated into the woman's service... finally, the noble woman made a deal - we become her vassals, she will help us develop..." Kiyoshi finished. "I did not except our village becoming shackled..." Sho said with a sight...
