so Artemis is on the same page as her right? I mean, he/she knows what sex is right?

>>271779
"You seem to me like you could really use someone to talk about this with, but if you really want to go, all right. Want to go sparring later?"

>>271784
That is a very serious accusation that I don't think we should make. She felt horny, not besotted.

>>271779
No stop her! There are two important things that need to be addressed first!

"I had already guessed something happened between you and your fiance, my real worry is that it happened for the wrong reasons. Two things come to mind, first tell me if you've been feeling like that since then for no good reason, or if it only lasted a short while tell me if this smells at all familiar to you." Pull out the love potion Morgan gave you and give it to her.

>>271779
Wait wait wait...
Horny came after wine...
...
She may have been drugged with an aphrodisiac!
It'd explain the uncharacteristic surprise fuck in addition to the shame/embarrassment she has now...

It'd also explain the aggressiveness of said sex.

It'd be a good time to check if her fiancée is playing alchemist...

>>271779
Take out the vial of love potion and hand it to her.
"Love potion. Causes sudden hornyness, willingness, and an attraction to whoever gives it to you. Lasts an hour or so.
Most people wouldn't be able to smell it over alcohol, but it could smell familiar to you."

"Wait!"

Saisai picks up her hat and puts it on.
"What?"

"Smell this."

She pulls out the love potion and hands it to her.
Saisai opens it and takes a whiff.

"...?"

"Does it smell familiar?"

"No. And I would know, trust me."

"Ah.. Okay. Uhm.. Well I'll see you later then Saisai."

"See you."

"Oh, hey. Uhm... Do you wanna spar later?"

"If you want to be beaten by me sure. I'll see you."

She leaves.

Man. I think we may have overreacted. Maybe they did just have sex.. It still seems.... Out of character?
I don't know. But I don't want to pry anymore into her personal life.

>>271794
It's a good thing you can get all the information you need by prying into her fiancée's personal life instead, eh?

>>271794
Oh god dammit you dunce. She's part catfolk, what if she's going into heat? Can you not see how that could be a problem?

>>271798
>>271797
We could, y'know. Just be content with talking with Saisai occasionally, instead of launching an investigation into the possibility that there was something more to it than her fiance getting her drunk and being smoother with drunk ladies than he is with sober ones.

I would rather just be Saisai's friend than an overeager detective into her romantic life, even if something funny's going on there. Better to get her to trust us and tell us about it than to poke our nose all into her business right off.

Besides, we have our own relationships to worry about.

>>271794
I'm not convinced.
Lets go talk to Morgan. Describe the sequence of events and ask what kind of potion could cause those events. If she can think of any, then ask her to describe people who have purchased that recently.

If she's going into heat then she's in deep trouble; she would have been going through heat since puberty, so that's several years to get her bearings on what it would do to her. Something screwing with her body that much would be deadly serious.

Guys I know you're worried about Saisai but I'm done prying into her life.
I 'will' see Morgan but that's just to say hi and stuff.

He leaves his room, as he does he sees Saisai walking back to the girls dorms still fidgiting with her sweater.
After a short walk he makes it to Morgan's Special Potions shop.
Morgan sees him and smiles

"H-hi Artemis. It's nice seeing you again.."

>>271806
"Hey, Morgan, good to see you too! How's it going? Want to grab lunch?"

>>271806
"Hey, Morgan. Sold out of love potion? How'd that happen?"

"Congratulations on selling out, your quite the salesperson. Anyways, I hope you don't mind my coming over, my temporary captain yesterday told me to find a date with a hot girl, but I was a bit too worn out for that yesterday. Hopefully I can make up for that today"

>>271812
Uh no, way to forward. Just ask her if she wants to do anything, or if you could help out around the shop. Not only will you be hanging out with her, but you might be able to glean some more info on potions stuff.

"Good to see you too. Thought I'd stop and give you back the dress, and see how you've been lately. What's up with the potions I thought that was your biggest seller?"

"Sold out of love potions? I guess that really is the most popular."

"Yes. It seems the Church of Cheront is having a dance. Girls from there bought my entire stock."

"Haha that's pretty funny."

Morgan nods and smiles.

"Are... Are you free?"

"Uhm, yeah. Sure. You wanna do something?"

"I... Needed help with a potion.. I was going to hire someone but if you want to..."

"I'd love to Morgan."

[i]"Please uhm... Help me with my cloak. I can't let it drag on the floor..."

Artemis nods and lifts up her cloak(she's wearing black dress pants underneath). She ties the excess fabric together.

"Thank you. This way."

Ah darn, forgot the dress again!

Morgan leads Artemis to the back room.

"Everything is hear... I just need a mage to pour mana into the bottle to the left... If you could...."

>>271820
"What sort of potion are you making?"

"not a problem, so what kind of potion is this anyways? A resupply on love potions or such?"

>>271820
Go ahead
"I'm trying to learn about different kinds of potions so I can recognize them and their effects. Would you be interested in teaching me?"
If she's interested, ask if you can start with love potions and aphrodisiacs since they're so abusable and insidious.

oh, and [gender change] as you need to be male to do this.

>>271820
Forgot the dress? I thought Mimi had it? Apologize for forgetting it.

Anyways, you can't use mana like this so it's mage time.

[Change Gender]

>>271826
Yeah, if Mimi has it it's basically with you... and where else are you storing things, anyway?

If you have any mana access in this form, no need to switch. Otherwise yeah, need mage powers for this.

I'll ask her how love potions work but I'm not gonna imply I wanna make them! And later, I want to finish this first.

"Uhm, sure. So what kind of potion is this?"

"Well... It's not really a potion perse. Not in it's true sense. It's a catalyst for a another magical item. My father aquired phoenix feathers and we've been trying to remake their life giving properties. It's been... difficult. so.. Ready?"

"Yeah."

Artemis channels his mana into the small bown.

Looking out his window the king notices a explosion coming from Morgan's shop.

Hey! You can't do that!

>>271830
"Ah, using phoenix feathers to force the soul back into its body from the afterlife? Interesting! Have you found a way to do it that doesn't FOR ALL THAT IS HOLY THIS IS PAIN!"

Unless the body is first returned to working order they'll just die again, and without powerful healing magic a fatal wound won't stop being fatal.
I'd love to hear the details of how it works, although I think it might go over your head.

Anyway, you're not asking her to teach you how to make potions, just how to identify them from either a sample or their effects.

You refuse to investigate Saisai's problem directly, but you can't object to gaining useful practical knowledge that would answer our questions.

Wait, did what I think happen just happen? Fuck, test out if your magic got screwed up. Or if your gender swap stuff still works correctly, or in the same manner. Hell, wouldn't be surprised if we've got a bit of ability bleed through now or something.

joke around and tell Morgan that she still looks pretty, despite explosion hair.

Umm... welcome back! This isn't quite... efficient, yet. Tell her you look forward to it saving lives without killing someone in the process.

Then get cleaned up. Or if you feel you need to, just rest for a while longer.

>>271854
"Pretty....."

"I'm sorry about that... you were dead for a little bit.. I had to use the feather on you.. I'll get you a healing potion.."

She lifts her up and leaves

Oh god that hurt. If she hadn't used it on me I'd really be dead right now...
Hmm.... I can still channel mana so that's still working.
Can't really check guardian abilities though.

Oh! Check with Mimi! She has that contract thing with you i think. Might be affected by this.

>>271859
When she comes back you should quaff the potion, then stand up and enthusiastically hug while congratulating her on her success.

Oh, then tell her that what happened probably a blow-out from adding too much mana too fast, which resulted in an imbalance that caused a mana explosion. That might be solved by creating a mana pipe to limit the flow to a fixed amount, keeping the feather chilled, and rotating it slowly to ensure even coverage.

>>271859
Well, sit back and catch your breath. It's not every day someone dies.

When Morgan gets back, ask her if she knew that would be so risky and what she thought would happen. It was extremely reckless to channel energy into something so unstable- my impression was that this would be more of a slow infusion of power than a wild boom. I'd rather not think that she would have willfully put you in that kind of danger.

>>271864
Yeah... I'm good now. Just a odd experience...

I don't think she would do that to me on purpose though..

Artemis writes Mimi some notes. Shortly after Morgan returns with the potion.

"Artemis I'm really sorry this happened... I think next time we'll need to push mana in slowly while using time magic to slow the reactions and watch for anything unstable.. I'm really really sorry."

Artemis takes the potion and drinks it. She stands up and hugs Morgan.

"It's okay. You still did it though, you managed to make something that can bring back the dead!"

Morgan smiles.

"I... Couldn't have done it without your help Artemis... I was... So afraid it wouldn't work on you... I almost... Sorry."

"It's okay."

Kiss ze girl!

>>271867
Look into her eyes, move your face closer, and plant a kiss on her forehead.

"It's ok, Morgan. We're both fine, and that's all that matters.
Hey, I've been meaning to learn how to identify potions by samples and by their effects, would you be interested in teaching me?"

Ask Mimi if she felt anything weird in the past few minutes, then tell her you spent some time dead and wanted to make sure she was ok.

[List Guardian points and abilities.]

>>271867
"Well if I'm going to die for somebody, at least you're worth it. Let me know when you want to try it again."

>>271870
>>271873
Let's not do that right now, it's already emotional enough for her. She's bound to take it the wrong way. Even if it weren't wrong it still is poorly timed.

She smiles again.

"Besides if I'm going to die for somebody, at least you're worth it. Let me know when you want to try it again."

"I will."

Artemis turns around to get his hat off the ground.

"oh, Artemis."

He turns to look at her. Before he meets her eyes she plants a small kiss on his cheek.

"Th-thank you again."

She blushes bright red and leaves the room.

Wow...

>>271884
Follow her.
"Hey, I've been meaning to learn how to identify potions by samples and by their effects, would you be interested in teaching me?"

A kiss worth dying for~? Haha that was cute, you be careful with that girls feelings now. I guess we can talk about other things with her later when she's cleaned up the place and calmed down.

Head on outside I'm sure someone noticed the ruckus.

Er... :|/ I don't know what to say .. FOLLOW HER <3
