They disembarked, and there they stood—the grand, vast station giving way to a bustling, noisy street. Karin walked toward the exit ahead, shouting back at her companions.

"Let's go, everyone! How are we getting to the Logistic Waker Station?"

The Lord stepped forward, smiling at the question.

"I thought of that too. Innova! Could you bring the Courierfast MT40 HR third edition?!"

Nodding in agreement, she levitated a few inches off the ground toward the street. As the light breeze lifted her hair, she closed her eyes.

She pointed her open hands forward and conjured.

*"System Activation, Summoning a Mount, Courierfast MT40 HR."*

Outside the station portal, orange metal particles clustered together, forming an orange car. Thick wheels, a low roof with rounded headlights, and two doors. It appeared on the roadside.

Karin ran toward the low machine while the others came calmly. The young lady admired it, practically drooling over such machinery.

"Which manufacturer makes this?" — she said, deeply interested.

"The world's first sports car manufacturer, Courierfast." — He coughed into his right hand and added: — "A 4-liter supercharged V6 engine with an incredible 450 horsepower, reaching up to 380 km/h."

"Geez... so much information that I didn't understand a single word..." — she said, wobbling under the weight of the details.

The High Priestess stepped forward, opened the left door, and sat in the passenger seat.

"Let's go. Enough with this car talk—it makes me queasy..."

The princess sat in the back seat, settling in.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hunter, but car talk and numbers aren't really my thing..."

"I think they're right, Hunter... Sorry about that." — Karin laughed awkwardly.

Hunter huffed in boredom, then pulled the front seat forward and gestured for her to sit.

"That's fine... It usually happens with women."

Innova hugged Hunter and disappeared. Adjusting the seat, he sat down and closed the door.

He shifted into first gear and drove off.

"Where did Innova go?" — Karin asked.

"Inside my soul."

While they were on the road, Karin grabbed her Gamecat from her luggage again to pass the time.

As she played, Alice felt restless. The sheer number of cars on the street, pedestrians walking along the sidewalks, and the towering density of buildings made her feel heavy.

She looked at Yunna in the front seat, apparently asleep, and then at her friend on the left, completely absorbed in her game. Alice's face flushed with the idea that came to her. She looked at Karin, swallowed hard, and silently decided to run her hand along her companion's thighs.

Karin didn't notice at first, but after a short moment, she tried to look down and jumped in surprise.

"What are you doing, Alice?!"

Alice quickly withdrew her hand with her eyes shut, covering her flushed face with her palms. She curled up entirely, avoiding looking at her friend.

Karin stared at her with a bored expression, then saw how tense Alice was. Smiling, she understood the situation. Pausing the game, she stowed it away and leaned close to Alice's ear, pushing her toward the corner of the door.

"I understand your situation, but on the train, we can relieve that if you don't mind." — she whispered, her warm breath dampening Alice's neck.

Shivering, Alice stared at her with half-lidded eyes, leaning close to her mouth, hovering between her lips. It happened so fast that the moment felt like a mirage. And so the young lady remained frozen, trying to process the situation.

"Wha—?!"

"What's going on back there with you two?!" — Hunter exclaimed.

"Nothing, sir. It's just that time of the month..." — Alice said softly, hands between her legs, head down.

Hunter looked through the rearview mirror at Karin, staring with sharp eyes.

"Enjoy the moment to the fullest..."

Yunna woke up. With a long yawn, she looked at the driver.

"Are we there yet? Why all this noise?" — she stretched afterward.

"We're close. Get ready—the best trip of your lives is about to begin."

There, nestled between the buildings, was a large courtyard with a gigantic structure in the middle. Parking, everyone grabbed their things and headed for the train.

"Innova! Store the car."

"Yes, sir!"

In front of them stood that grand train in blue, yellow, and red—the typical colors of the Franparian flag. Stepping inside, Karin and Alice chose a room in the back, while Hunter and Yunna stayed in the front.

As the young lady arranged the bed where she would lie, the sunset light shimmered through her long brown hair. She stored her clothes, sandals, and Gamecat in a drawer below. She changed into a white sleeveless shirt and short lilac shorts, going barefoot. She lay on the bed, beginning to caress the upholstery.

"What soft upholstery! So comfortable!"

"Karin... you promised earlier, remember?" — Alice said from the other side, blushing.

Karin looked at the princess and widened her eyes: a tight dark fabric top, amazing tight shorts with pink details. Staring at those defined abs and toned legs, she felt drool trickle from the corner of her mouth.

"Good heavens, Alice! You've got great muscles, huh!"

"Really? I've been training since I was young. Honestly, I think I look less feminine..."

"You say that because you think Hunter prefers helpless girls?!"

Alice jumped off the bed in embarrassment, clutching the sheets between her hands.

"Wha—?! Wh-where did you get that idea?!"

"It's obvious! When you're fully dressed, you look like a delicate, helpless girl. But when someone messes with you, your delicacy vanishes."

"But where does Hunter fit into this?"

Karin got up from the bed, walked over to her, and sat beside her, smiling in a strange way.

"My mother told me how furious you were with her and how you even threatened to kill me, just to protect him."

Alice leaned back against the cool wooden wall, momentarily shivering. She squeezed her eyes shut, almost on the verge of tears.

"I'm sor—"

"Don't!"

"Huh?!" — Alice turned quickly. — "Wh-why...?"

Before she knew it, Karin's face was pressed close to hers. Her breathing was heavy and warm as she stared into her eyes. There was a palpable tension in the air.

"Because that's the attitude I love!" — Karin said, leaning in with her lips. — "Protecting above all else the one you admire..."

Their saliva mingled, fingers interlacing. Karin pushed Alice onto the bed. Their eyes closed momentarily. Her other hand caressed Alice's chest, almost groping.

Even small, they were firm and soft. Karin opened her eyes quickly, nearly jumping, feeling something behind her.

"Naughty girl... so you—"

Alice threw her to the opposite side, revealing a beautiful sight—her breasts swaying in the light, hair cascading down, her purple eyes staring intently.

"Oh, look at you... Do you think you can dominate me?"

"I told you you weren't a helpless girl, see!" — Karin smiled with closed eyes.

She felt Alice's cool hand slide inside her shirt, letting out a soft moan. She pulled Alice up, bringing her lips to her full chest.

Karin placed her hand on Alice's head, stroking her.

"Good girl!"

Between glances, Alice stared nervously with sharp eyes while kissing Karin's nipple. Pulling away, she cupped Karin's face, landing a firm, quick kiss. Karin moaned at the strength, desperately fanning herself beneath her.

Alice crossed her feet around Karin's back, hugging her, and rolled with all her might to the opposite side.

"Let's see who really is more dominant then!"

"Keep dreaming, Karin!"

Outside, only muffled thuds could be heard—many thuds echoing from the back of the rooms. While Hunter slept like a child, Yunna sat in the armchair on the opposite side, her hand resting on her cheek.

Her face was twisted, and she growled in nervous anticipation. The more time passed, the more anxious she became. She looked at the clock above the luxurious vanity—it was 10:30 PM.

In a swift motion, she stood up with heavy feet.

"That's enough!"

She ran down the red-carpeted corridor, stepping nervously through the carriage, and threw the door open without warning.

"Enough with this racket! I want to sleep, damn it! Karin! You know—"

She looked to the right and blushed, almost frowning: her daughter was positioned between the princess's legs. The more she looked, the more she felt drool trickling from the corner of her mouth. Her excitement went haywire as she appreciated that frozen moment.

"Mother?!" — Karin stared at the door in embarrassment.

"Yunna!" — Alice stammered, deeply embarrassed. Her face turned into a boiling kettle within seconds as she processed the situation. — "Why are you drooling?!"

Hearing Alice's voice, Yunna snapped back to reality. She looked at them again, then stumbled out, making a huge racket.

The two stared at the closed door for a few seconds, completely stunned by what they had just witnessed.

Karin put her hand to her face, sitting up on the edge of the bed, almost indignant.

"Impossible... My mother is... it makes sense why my father was always nervous."
