Chapter 39 - Chaapter 38: Estetica Mami, Brazo de 23

Hirune stepped on Ellen sternum hard as she sighed, "What to do?"

She asked herself as she stared down at Ellen, who she could hope was under some sort of mind control. Then she noticed her clothes were tattered all over.

"Amia, what did you do while I was gone?"

'Sorry, the chains in Ellen's realm ripped them apart a little,' Amia laughed nervously. She was still confused about how Hirune trusted her enough to keep her in the Forsaken Realm where she could easily take over but she certainly wasn't complaining. In fact, she didn't plan on doing anything bad either since Hirune did try to accept her and either way it wouldn't benefit her anymore. 

Hirune snapped and a dark cloud engulfed her then floated away, "Alright, this should fit both of our styles, right?" She asked while looking down at her new fully black dress with a sash around the stomach region that was connected to some black sleeves and held them up, the dress splitting on both sides from her hips down showing her legs, and some gym shorts beneath that.

'How did you figure out my taste in clothes so quickly?' 

"Because of the clothes you put on me the one time you took over combined with what I like," Hirune answered simply. 

Ellen cleared her throat, "So. uh... What are you going to do with me now? Don't you think you're a little too focused on your clothes?"

"Estetica mami, brazo de 23," (translation: "Aesthetic girl, 23cm arm") Hirune answered with a giggle before suddenly getting serious and glaring daggers down at her.

She picked her up by the scruff and went back to the tent throwing her on the ground in front of all of the others. Which were a bit too busy staring at Hirune to care about how rough Ellen looked compared to normal.

Then Tundra glanced down, "Oh hi Ellen, I see you got beat up by her. let me guess, you were commanded to try and take another ability?"

Ellen laughed weakly, "Yep, she wanted me to give it another try! Luckily, she cares about me enough to the point where I still have decent control of myself, so I didn't kill anyone."

Hirune walked up to Tundra, "Who's "she"? 

Tundra looked at her up and down for a moment before answering, "Vereta. You see, Ellen is a daughter of Vereta and Vereta can take over her daughter's mind to a degree. She also has a tendency to want to confiscate things that could possibly endanger other's or the user. Like Cuelebre or, I guess Namulenza now too."

Hirune shook her head, "Not Namulenza, I'll tell you about it later when we're in private."

Tundra nodded and looked at the others checking on Ellen then quickly looked back at Hirune, which had made herself comfortable on his bed while playing with the only remaining jester plushie.

"Why my bed? Yours is right there," Tundra said as he looked at her trying not to get distracted by her new look.

She put the plush aside and laid down on her side, "Because yours was closer and, Amia ran through most of my Ichor so I'm laying down for a while."

'I still don't see why she can't lay on her own bed but I'm not going to bother her with it anymore,' he thought as he walked over. "Well, I'm going to sleep since I didn't get the chance last night."

Hirune scooted back a little and played with her hair while humming a little tune. For a moment he hesitated to lay down and considered going to sleep on her bed, but if Hirune wasn't going to do that then neither was he. So, he laid down and instantly passed out.

Hirune smirked and played with his hair, "You really thought I didn't notice your staring?" Hirune whispered as to not wake him up.

'Hiru! Come on think about what you're doing!' Amia complained in an extremely flustered tone.

'Huh? So, the Polar version of me loves the same things as me. Noted,' Hirune responded as she stared at Tundra's sleeping face.

'Yeah but-- but-- he's asleep! And you like him! Why are you messing with him?!'

'Messing with him? Pfft! Also, we both like him, get it right if you're going to complain.'

'But what if he wakes up?'

'He's too chill to say or do anything about it! Calm down it'll be fine!' She said while laughing. 

Tundra woke up and stared at her as she laughed, "Your smiles pretty."

Hirune suddenly stopped and stared at him dumbfounded as her face turned beat red. He scooted a little closer and hugged her close before falling asleep again. Hirune looked down at him, her lips quivering and eyes tearing up from how hot her face is. Then she kicked him in the gut sending him onto the other bed next to them.

"AH! Don't get so chummy with me now! Shoo, Shoo! Fine I'll get up so you can sleep, good night-- I mean, uh, sweet dreams or whatever," Hirune said in a panic as she walked out of the tent.

Tundra groaned as he sat up holding his gut and laughed softly, "Yep, that hurts a lot. Though I do wonder why she was playing with my hair?"

Hirune walked back into the woods after telling the others she was going for a stroll to clear her mind. 

As she walked around Namulenza teased her and Amia kept on panicking alongside her. She just couldn't take all of the talking, "SHUT UP! Both of you! I have a headache and I need some quiet!"

Ellen walked into the tent and looked at Tundra, "Before I did that, you said you wanted to talk to me about something right?" 

Tundra looked at her, "Yeah, I made some acquaintances at school which could have some information on of the assassins."

"Really now? So, we're talking to people way older than us again?"

"You're the only other hag I've spoken to. So, do you want to go for me? Send me and Hirune together? Send me alone?"

"You and me, let's go together. I'm not good at listening to information which is why I always go with Clint to things like this. But he's busy with the camp because he's good with survival so you'll have to suffice."

The jester plushie let out a laugh, which caught Tundra and Ellen off guard, but they decided to shrug it off as it was just a plushie. Though Hirune found it amusing as the jester told her all of this.

"Great, I accidently eavesdropped thanks to a plushie! Yet another thing to add to the Forsaken Realm, I hope you'll like it Amia!"

'I-- We love plushies! But can we go with them?'

'Why?'

'After that I don't trust Ellen and I hope you don't either.'

Hirune laughed as she stood up, "You're right. So, should we steal him for a bit, or should we be sneaky peaky like?"
