Chapter 399 A Day At The Farm
A proper river, finally…Arche could dip her toes, even lay down in the water and submerge her body. Sinking her head into the water, she opened her mouth and let her lungs be emptied. A rush of water flooded into her body, and the crittering sensation of spiders within juggled about, but somehow, the queen remained unflinching. She could breathe underwater without any trouble in the world.
Not knowing the same, the others grew concerned. They took turns checking up on her, but the queen was fine the way she was. Blood continued to flow through her veins, and her eyes would open upon sensing someone coming closer. After a few turns of checkups, the monster girls just let her be, and instead went off to do something else that they too found interesting.
'This feels…familiar.' Once they were gone, Arche was left to wander through her thoughts undisturbed. The sensation of being underwater reminded her of a time when she was thrown into that dark well of corpses by her mother. The dark water had welled up from the ground and drowned her completely, that is until a dark hand reached for her, offering help and another chance at a better life.
'I took it, but what did I lose in return?'
With a sigh underwater, she wished to see that cloaked man again and ask him that question. However, for now, that dream was just that, a dream as she had no way of knowing who exactly it was.
'Can I even die now? I should be dead right now from the water in my lungs.' There were many questions inside Arche's head, but the comfort of cold flowing water and the feeling of isolation from her overwhelming senses, helped her mind grow so calm that before she knew it, she was having a nap.
As for the others, the centaurians were busy galloping around in the open field. Stretching their legs by running as fast as possible, both Amelia and Ophelia could feel their bodies rushing with adrenaline as well as a freeing sensation through their lower bodies.
Being centaurs, both of them were in dire need of exercise and now that they finally had it, the two couldn't help smiling between their panting for breaths in between their laps around the farmhouse.
Maine was just as joyous, but not for the same reason as the other two. Instead of freedom of movement, she loved a deadly game of hide and seek with small birds and other animals hiding in the cornfields. Being a phantom predator snatching away its prey, tingled every scale in her body with unmatched excitement.

Hissing she would warn the prey of her arrival and in their defeat, that warning only elevated her excitement. Born of savage cannibal blood, she wanted to devour them alive and raw, but given her plans with Raven for the night, she simply gathered them for now.
'I'll grill them later…' And with that thought, she continued to sulk through the field.
Meanwhile, Mino was having a different kind of adventure. Sitting atop the tank of a white-furred yak that Rose would ride into town with goods to sell, the queen of minotaurs could sense the creature's thoughts and even soothed his mind with a simple brush over his ears.
"I have never seen him so calm. Usually, he doesn't let anyone touch him," even Rose was surprised at how mellow his expression had turned. The yak almost seemed dreamy and as he lowered himself on his knees to lay his head down and rest, it was further confirmed just how relaxed he'd become thanks to Mino's presence.
"What did you do?" Asked Rose, looking at Mino as she got off the beast.
"Not much to be honest," taking a few steps towards Rose, Mino turned towards the yak again. Folding her hands, she nudged Rose before adding a few words of advice. "He feels lonely, but I have horns too so I was able to help him feel comfortable. However, you should really get this big boy to a breeder, mingling with the ladies will help him quite a bit."
"Ohhh…" Looking at the yak again, Rose pressed her lips shut. A moment of embarrassment and shame from negligence took over her heart, she felt terrible for not taking her beast of burden to get some weight off his shoulders. "I'll do that as soon as I can, I promise."
Moving closer, Rose got to her knees and hugged the yak by its head. Pushing her head against it, she felt him grumbling.
"Sorry, we'll get you to a breeder soon, just hold on a while longer, okay?" With a kiss on the beast's forehead, Rose turned her attention back to Mino. Smiling, she nodded at her with visible gratitude in her gaze. "Thank you."
Brushing her hand carelessly in the air, Mino rolled her eyes before looking back at Rose with a chuckle.
"It wasn't a big deal, all I did was talk to him," hearing her response, Rose nodded back at the monster girl.
"You guys go in, I'll prepare an even nicer meal for you once I'm done taking my boy here back to his shed." Nodding in response, Mino gathered everyone; except Arche–who refused to go in, and headed back into the house.
It wasn't until Raven himself got out to get her that Arche moved out of the water. She was drenched completely and so were her silk clothes, the threads they were made of even dissolved somewhat, leaving but a few patches of clothing that stuck close to Arche's body.
Had the threads been processed instead of being naturally occurring from her body, Arche wouldn't have had the problem, however, her refusal to wear anything else, often had her walking around in the nude, especially since her body was prone to getting bigger as the effect of the spell began waning.
"You're slimmer than I expected…" Raven said, glancing sideways at Arche's near-flat belly.

"Hmm?" Glancing down her bare skin, the queen ran her finger down her belly before stopping at a slight bulge in her skin right above her womb. "All my energy goes here, I'm supposed to be making children as the queen after all."
Squinting her gaze, she leered at Raven.
"But since you plan on keeping me waiting, I suppose I can allow my body to gain some weight on the more desirable places~" Capable of controlling her body in any way that she desired, Arche decided to grow her 'assets' to seduce Raven into pumping her full of his seeds.
Despite her attempt, however, and what would soon transpire in the open bath with Raven and the girls, she would have to wait much longer for her to be knocked up by Raven. After all, Raven was well aware that cumming inside her was a dire risk, for even an imbecile's single seed could be nurtured into a baby inside the boundless bounty that was Arche's body.
'I heard they've started selling a new rubber contraceptive in Elenaris, maybe I'll get my hands on it before this girl gets too desperate.' From Aurora's personal stash for having sex with Zeil without the fear of getting pregnant to becoming one of Shamisha's regular products after the princess' death, the so-called contraceptive was finally in the hands of regular people.
'I won't need it for the other girls, but dealing with Arche without it might prove difficult.'
With the queen of Arachne being a wild card, it was in Raven's best interest, neither to avoid fulfilling her needs nor give it to her raw. Or else, who knows what kind of horror would crawl out of her?
