It was a regular day for the gatekeeper of Sweetgrass. His shift had been just like any other day. The farmers and their servants would be up at before the crack of dawn to work in the fields. After the relatively busy moment in the morning, there was not much to do for the guards.

The guard rotated every 8 hours. This allowed the guards to have adequate time to rest before their next shift. The gatekeeper, along with his 4 guards had spent the majority of their day chatting with each other. Beside the occasional merchant, traveler, or adventurer, the gate was almost always empty.

As their shift was reaching the end, they noticed people approaching from the distance. As the travelers got closer, the guards couldn't help but drop their jaws at the scene. Two young girls were walking down the dangerous road, hand-in-hand. ?The two of them looked like a pair of fairies as they couldn't take their eyes off them. As distance shortened, the attraction increased. The guards weren't caught completely off guard, however. They noticed the hear-shaped tails, that were unique to succubi, swinging behind them.

As the little girls passed by them, an irresistible aroma filled their noses. Although, as trained soldiers, they had many encounters with other succubi in the past, they were caught completely unawares. Their minds blanked for a moment as the two walked past them.

Time seemed to stop for the guards as the two little girls stopped in front of the gate. If there were any onlookers, they would have seen the peculiar sight of armed guards surrounding a couple young, defenseless-looking girls. Of which, one was carrying an oversized crossbow, and the other a black stick.

The scene was broken by a loud voice. "Hey, what happened to your hair?

The guard at the gate almost fell on his face. Hearing a quiet snort, he looked over to see the other guards slightly turned away from him, trying to stop themselves from smiling. One of the bodies of the spearmen was shaking as he was suppressing laughter. He gave the other guards a fierce look before looking back at the culprit. He looked at the tiny face that had a large grin and sparkling eyes looking at him. 'I must have heard incorrectly.' he thought to himself. Looking at the innocent and adorable face filled with curiosity and excitement, he thought again, 'There is no way such an adorable child said something so malicious..'

"I'm sorry," He said with a stiff smile on his face, "I must have misunderstood your question.."

An almost immediate reply came. "Why don't you have any hair?" Kalin reworded, with a brutal innocence that caused the surrounding guards to involuntarily release snickers.

The gatekeeper's bald head started to turn a light shade of pink. Deciding that Kal had no bad intentions when he asked the question, he could only sigh, "Some people just cut all their hair off."

"Why?"

"Well.. some people like having no hair."

"Why? Isn't hair pretty?" Came the confused child.

"Umm.." The gatekeeper couldn't help but start sweating, as he was never going to admit the tru..

"Some people start to lose their hair when they get old." Said the older girl bluntly. "They feel insecure about it so they either wear fake hair, try to hide it, or cut it all off."

Every word the girl said felt like an arrow piercing his heart, but his pain hadn't ended.

"Oh no!" cried the younger of the two, "Sometimes some of my hair falls out when I brush my hair. Does that mean that it's all going to fall out?" Kal had a very concerned expression on his face that could only be described as one of the early signs of despair. "I don't want my hair to go away" He started to sniffle.

"Don't worry, that's normal. You don't have to worry about hair loss. There's no way that mom would have a kid with a bald man- ah! I mean a man with no hair." She caught herself, as Kal had probably never heard the word 'bald' before.

At this point, the shiny surface atop the gatekeeper was almost a deep shade of crimson. His subordinates were no longer trying to hide their laughter as one especially brave soul was even punching the wall repeatedly to try to calm down.

He cleared his throat before continuing. "W-w-well," he couldn't help but fumble on his words, adding to his embarrassment, "we don't want to hold up other people, so let's get the entrance process started."

The older of the two looked around and feigned innocence, "Oh my, we wouldn't want to hold anyone else up!"

A look of relief came swept over the face of the gatekeeper as he received this much needed reprieve.

A cunning smile crept on Lili's face as she continued. "Good thing there are no other people around."

The ray of light in the storm turned into out to be a feint. The expectation and hope caused previously by the young succubus only resulted in a greater crushing force, bringing him further into the depths of despair. What had previously felt like a shot to the gut, now felt like a shot to the groin. Nay! It was more like having a hand extended to him when he was down, accepting the help, and then be pushed back onto the ground and kicked for good measure. If not for the small amount of remaining face he had to pretend he had in this situation, he would have already dropped to his knee in defeat.

Eventually, he was able to collect himself before gesturing to the entrance saying, "Please enjoy your stay at Sweetgrass."

Not giving him an out so easily, Lili continued and said, "We haven't paid our entrance fee yet, if we entered now, it would set a bad example to those that had to pay along with your subordinates. I wouldn't want to cause any trouble."

The shamelessness that came out of those tiny lips was uncanny. The gatekeeper couldn't help but yell in his mind, 'How the hell can you be thick-skinned enough to say that you don't like causing trouble?!?'

"Alright, for two children, the total will be 6 pints.." The instant he said these words, he felt a chill run from the crown of his head, all the way to the base of his feet. Beads of cold sweat ran off his head, all the way down his back.

"Two children, is it? Hmm... I see.." mumbled Lili as a suffocating aura emanated from her body. The guards that had previously been laughing couldn't help but become alert as their instincts told them that they were in front of a dangerous predator. The tension was so dense that one could cut it with a sword.

Just as the guards were about to act, Kal gave his sister a tight hug and said, "Good girl, good girls.." As he patted her back. Almost like magic, the pressure started to disappear as the two siblings hugged each other.

As she was calming down, Liliana was muttering aloud, "I'm not the child, you're the child! Stupid ugly bitch-ass bald-headed troll that has his dick up his ass! I'll shove a spit up your dick hole before cutting it off and shoving it down your throat! Then I'll send you to become a choir boy, so you can have a dick again.."

The male guards couldn't help but feel an imaginary breeze in their lower bodies. All 5 soldiers couldn't believe all the vicious and vulgar things being rattled off in quick succession. They could only fear for the lives of their future children as they watched Kal work his magic.

Eventually she completely calmed down before passing 3 coins and a ceramic plate to the guards. The gatekeeper looked at the plate before handing it back with shaking hands. "E-e-enjoy your s-t-t-tay."

The two walked through the gate as the smaller comforted the larger one telling her how beautiful and grown-up she was.

After they had disappeared into the city, the guards couldn't help but collapse from the release of tension. "Captain," one of them asked, "who were they? Should we report this to the mayor?"

The bald man just shook his head. "That's not somebody this town can deal with." He then asked a question of his own. "Have you ever heard of the party of adventurers called 'Flower Garden'?"

The female guard questioned with wide eyes, "You mean that high ranking party that was made of only beautiful, strong women?"

One of the male guards: "You mean the group that was once one of the most powerful parties in all of Den, before it disbanded 10 years ago?"

Another guard: "You mean that party that has been rumored to have castrated over 1000 men?"

Hearing the last comment, the bald man couldn't help but release an uncontrollable twitch from his eye before muttering, "Yes.. that Flower Garden.. and that was their leader."

They couldn't help but all feel a sense of gratefulness to the young child that saved them from the monster known as the 'big sis' of one of the most infamous parties ever.
