NOTICE: PERSPECTIVE SWITCH TO NYTRI
A few moments earlier.
Nytri walks out of the cave with Kitt in her hands, she walks a bit further and Kitt jumps out of her hands. Nytri raises her hand surprised by this. Kitt looks at Nytri speaking telepathic, "Master, I'd like to test my strength, if you will allow it."
Nytri smiles, "Sure." She bends down and pats him, "I'm going to the city, you know how to find me." Nytri teleports from the mountain.
Nytri arrives a bit far from the city in the grassland, she facepalms. "I forgot to get a part as evidence for the quest." She recalls Harrington's request to bring the body along, "There's no way I'm doing that."
Nytri squats to the ground and rubs her fingers in the grass, "I should be able to make a fake head to fool him. VITA GENOME." The grass sways below her fingers and ripples with energy. The shape of a leaf blade starts to change to look like a head, this continues for 5 minutes before a big plant tiger head is before Nytri.
"As for blood," Nytri speaks and her eyes glow, "A fake blue blood is believable if it still bleeds when I hand it over. Hmph, it's not like he's going to investigate it or something." The plant head starts to emit blue liquid from its 'severed' neck and eyes looking too grotesque. "The more gross it is the more believable." She grins.
In 30 minutes, Nytri has made a meter big grotesque head with blue blood flowing from it and a lot of battle injuries. An eye is even dangling by the side. The most unbelievable thing is...this is a leaf. Nytri points below the head and a space opens to her storage, she starts walking towards the city.
At this moment the spies finally see her and follow. The leader is hiding behind a tree over 300 meters away looking at Nytri with a telescope. Nytri smiles and waves at him...He's confused and looks around Nytri but he sees her pointing at him, he points at himself and Nytri waves again... He hides behind the tree, "WHAT KIND OF LADY IS THIS?!"
"Is something the matter?" His number 2 asks. They talk about the issue and try to find ways to hide except only the leader knows Nytri is watching them.
Nytri walks to the city gates, she shows her guild insignia and walks into the city. She makes her way to the guild, not the Harrington's house to submit the head. Nytri reaches the guild building and receives a message from Paxius. *DING DING DING* a screen appears before her with the message.
[INFORMATION MAGIC DISPLAY
MESSAGE TREAD: Royalty Issues
SENDER: Paxius
SUBJECT: Greetings Nytri, hope you're having fun playing adventurer. Things are moving ahead of schedule, so I decided to start the Foreign Business part of Azuria. I'd like you to acquire land to build a store wherever you want. I'll send the first merchant to you to stock up on the store with Azurian products. You could also play bodyguard or store manager if it interests you.
REPLY:...….

"Uhh," Nytri thought, "Adventuring did get boring after that guy's request. Retiring now will prevent further encounters with him or...I might kill him because of his schemes." Nytri walks into the guild and sees Liara busy with a lot of adventurers so she finds a seat by a table and waits.
A man walks up to her, "Hey beautiful." He smiles broadly, "Me and the guys are forming a party. Do you want to join?" Nytri shakes her head. Another man comes before her, this one doesn't seem to want to recruit her for a party. "Hey little missy, how about we go somewhere and have some fun?" His gaze runs all over Nytri.
Nytri looks up at him in thought, "There's an easier way to do this. I can make him vanish when everyone blinks then make a construct of him and let it run away. Or I could make change his body functions and let nature send him a call. Or –" A gasp comes from Nytri's side. She turns to see a woman staring at her with shock, it seems someone is leading her. "Hmm?" Nytri tilts her head looking at her and her thoughts, "Oh yeah, I recognize those claw marks. I caused it...Ohh, she's the female knight from back then….I hope she's not looking for a fight." Nytri looks away.
The person leading the female knight urges her to follow with some words, so she doesn't confront Nytri and heads towards the guild master's office. People barely notice the awkward moment and those who did thought the knight wanted to help Nytri but stopped after the escorts spoke to her.
The man has been speaking to Nytri for a while and tries to grab her hand, Nytri looks at the man into his eyes and he freezes though not in fear. "Try touching me and you'll lose your hand." Nytri speaks, the man looks into her eyes and notices she's not joking. He's a high-ranking adventurer but he's seen the people around Nytri so he doesn't dare.
Nytri notices Liara has fewer people around her and walks to the counter, "Hi Liara!" she greets Liara who has her face glued to paperwork.
"Oh Nytri, hi!" She smiles warmly at her, "Have you eaten?" Nytri is about to nod her head and Liara asks, "I've got snacks!" Nytri shakes her head and Liara gives Nytri the snacks smiling warmly, she gets up and pats Nytri on her head.
Nytri is nibbling on the snacks, "AH!" she recalls why she came here, "I came to complete a request, it's one of those private ones." She hands the quest sheet to Liara and she reads it.
"Slay a Tiger King- This is madness!" Liara is enraged, "HOW COULD ANYONE SEND SUCH A CUTE GIRL TO FACE SUCH A-" *THUD!* A big head is lying on the floor before her, she stares at the head with her jaw dropped.
Nytri smiles, "The others were itching for a fight so they got excited and did more than expected." Nytri looks at Liara and silence fill the hall...…the people stare at the huge head before them, they could only imagine the size of the monster.
Liara stutters, "T….T….T….T…" She looks at Nytri with shock.
Nytri looks at Liara, "Uhhh, do we get extra money?" And strikes a cute smile. It's the same smile the scares the crap out of people but when she's not fighting it looks like an 'angel'.
Liara makes a fist and grips her biceps, "You can count on me! I'll make the lord bleed money for you!" Another receptionist nudges Liara speaking, "Uhhh, that statement can get you into trou-" Liara shrugs, "Who cares?! You don't send a group of gold rank adventurers against a Tiger Emperor. You need a subjugation force for that."
The guild master arrives to witness the scene, he walks to Nytri with the knights still staring at Nytri on guard. "Well well well," The guild master speaks, "An impressive feat. With the reward aside, how about a promotion to Platinum rank?" His words shock a lot of people, especially the knight.
Nytri shakes her head, "There's no need." She smiles, "We're retiring!" she spread her arms wide with a big smile…..everyone is silent. Nytri blinks her eyes, "Well, this kind of business is too dangerous. So we'll take it slow and head back to Azuria or find something else to do."
"Azuria?" the knight repeats. The guild master nods with a hearty laugh, "Hohohohoho that's good. It's nice to hit back and relax and while you're at it, how about I introduce you to my son? He's a re-"
Liara cuts in between them, "Open your eyes! She's just a cute little missy!"
"But she has grown up in the right places," Guild master speaks, "Mostly." Nytri folds her arms looking at him while squinting her mouth. The knight's mind is blank.
"No thanks, old man." Nytri speaks, "I'm sure your son is a big beardy like you, reminds me too much of uncle Seaweed."
"Hey, I'm not that old." The guild master speaks, "And, my name is Jasault." He sighs, "How could you not know?"
Nytri opens her eyes wide then points at his beard, "Sorry old beard ma- Jasault, the J beard sounds cooler!" she smiles.
"You're enjoying this, aren't you." Jasault speaks and everyone bursts out laughing because his beard makes a J. "Anyway, why are you alone? I though you'd be with the others."
"Oh right," Nytri speaks, "The king called them back, some official issue of some kind."
Liara looks worried, "Is it alright to leave you all alone? Do you have a place to stay?" she hugs Nytri tightly.
Jasault looks at Liara with a questioning gaze in thought, "You worry about her? I feel sorry for those who get on her bad side." Then he looks at Nytri, "Let me know if you need anything. The date with my son is still on though!"
"OH! Get away you old beard!" Liara speaks waving her hand at her boss. Jasault laughs wryly and walks to his office with the knight following, they're going to have a long talk.
Nytri exits the guild and notices it's night, she walks a bit further and notices a kitty crying beside her *MEOW!* She looks at it and smiles, she hands it a treat before picking it up. "So, how did it go Kitt?"
*MEOW MEOW MEOWW* He speaks telepathically to Nytri, "I am amazing! I fought the mermaid emperor and won! Though I got a few bruises but I got better quick." Nytri pets him as he keeps talking or meowing to those watching.
The leader of the spy watching is surprised, "How did she get so close to a stray cat so soon?" He looks at Number 2, "Let's fo- She saw us." He makes an exasperated face, "Again!" He waves at Nytri.
Number 2 speaks, "What did you say we should do?"
The leader looks at number 2 and sighs, "Let's take the night off. I'll report to the prince."
Nytri walks holding Kitt in her hand above her head, the seem to be very happy. Nytri walks into a building with the real estate agency and bought a piece of land outside the gates. They were surprised by a young lady buying a land outside but Nytri told them it's to build a store. They wanted to help but Nytri denied their help. Nytri finds an inn to sleep since her size is normal and doesn't bang her head into the door post.
[AU: INFO:
Having to write 'telepathically' is becoming a pain so speaking in the mind.
