Chapter 142: Sweet
[August 20th DxD/April 9th DBT]
"I'm beginning to notice a trend..." hummed Vahn, extending his hand and right index finger to the Poisonous Honeybee, now nearly 60cm tall with bright yellow hair that framed a markedly human face in short layers with jagged, flared ends. Her black antennae now poked out from the sides of her head like droopy elven ears, and, denoting her status as a brand new Poisonous Honeybee Queen, a three-pronged crown of light adorned her head.
Were she just a large bee, Vahn wouldn't be surprised, but the Poisonous Honeybee Queen before him had distinctly human proportions, including broad hips, a fur coat that resembled a yellow bunny suit, thick thighs and pointed feet covered in black fur, thick white fur around her neck and the upper portion of her chest and shoulders, four-pronged and flexible black claws, a bulbous, black-and-yellow-striped abdomen with a bright purple stinger, and, most notably, a pair of furry white breasts.
"Vahn-oppa, I evolved~" sang the Poisonous Honeybee Queen, her voice pleasant and mature as she grabbed Vahn's finger and habitually suckled it with a happy smile, her bright purple eyes narrowing contentedly.
"Yes, that's exceptionally obvious. Congratulations..." said Vahn, a smile adorning his face as he wondered what the artist of Top Dungeon Farmer was thinking when he designed the Poisonous Honeybee Queens to be as sexy as they were. They didn't have breasts in his memory, but even then, they were given very prominent curves.
'Well, at least she doesn't have human lady bits like a certain naughty bunny...' thought Vahn, referring to Seul-bi. The buxom, blonde, black-furred bunny had taken up residence in his and Grayfia's cottage as if it were completely natural, and when he arrived that morning, there was a distinct smell of animal pheromones and musk lingering in the air as she emerged from the upstairs bedroom, wearing one of his shirts as a nearly ankle-length nightgown.
"Is it alright if I stay here from now on...?" asked the Poisonous Honeybee Queen, either by accident or intention, drawing Vahn's hand to her chest, enabling him to feel the rapid pounding of her heart through the backs of his fingers.
"Of course..." responded Vahn, his smile broadening as he asserted, "We would be happy to have you, Your Majesty..."
Gently pinching the Poisonous Honeybee Queen's right hand, Vahn drew her forward, bowed his head, and kissed the back of it as a Gentleman's courtesy. The PHQ didn't blush or anything, but Vahn got the impression she was exceedingly pleased by his actions as her four semi-transparent wings beat audibly quicker, causing her to rise slightly. Then, as he felt his plans for it would never come to fruition, he invited her to claim the tunnel and cavern he had dug out as the site of what would become a very large hive. He also named her Melissandra, derived from the Melissa and Melis, the former meaning bee and the latter meaning honey...
