Chapter 16: Knights
"So, could you introduce us to your [symbiote]?" Marissa asked, handing a registration form to one of her knights. It was the form for registering as a knight.
"Okay... Hiro..." Rebecca, Cecile, and Nana called out, and Hiro slithered up from their crotches to their hands, moving under their dresses. Cecile and Nana's eyes went blank as they felt a wave of pleasure build inside them, while Rebecca remained unaffected. Hiro wondered if he should ease up on their training.
"All three of you have a [symbiote]? Amazing..."
"Yes, we were lucky. Hiro saved us from bandits in the Latvin Kingdom," Rebecca explained.
"I see... so, is this an attack-type symbiote? King Angus also has a [symbiote], so this is quite unique." Marissa touched Hiro with her fingers, a hint of envy and longing in her eyes. Hiro entwined his tentacle around her hand, but Rebecca quickly pulled him back, her expression cautious.
"Not really; our stats have also increased, right, Nana?" Rebecca continued.
"Yes. It's all thanks to Hiro!" Nana chimed in.
"I see. It's an all-rounder, isn't it? Not only can it attack directly, but it also augments your stats. What kind of attack does Hiro use?" Marissa looked at her knights.
"Some kind of life-stealing technique, perhaps? The bodies were all shriveled up," one of the knights responded.
"I see. Touching it is quite a unique sensation," Marissa noted.
"Um... Marissa, we don't know much about [symbiotes]. Do you know how to care for one?" Cecile asked.
