"Lalala~ Lalala~ I want to eat chocolate~ I like chocolate~ I also like strawberry flavoured cake~ I want to eat—"
"Shut up! What the hell are you singing for?! You goddamn sugar obsessed woman!" yelled a green haired man, interrupting the orange-haired woman's warbling. They were two fox-like ears on top of his head, signifying his demi-human status. His slit-like pupils were glaring at Alexandra, who as usual was reading... a 'dirty' book.
"Huh? What are you saying? I like other things also! Don't sully me! Also, where is your brother?"
Cillian snarled, "He has gone out for marketing. Stand up and start cleaning the house. I will clean the office. You should brush your teeth."
"Why does my breath stink?"
"Yes, I can only smell alcohol when you open your mouth. Do you have any shame at all?" Cillian snatched the book from Alexandra's clutch and threw it outside the window.
"No! My book!" Alexandra jumped out of the couch and looked outside the window. Thankfully, her book was still safe, except directly colliding with the ground. At that moment, a cat came out.
"Hey! Kitty! Shoo! Shoo! Go away! No, no, no! Don't put your dirty paws on my book!" Alexandra yelled angrily. He was the same bastard cat that always troubled her.
The cat looked up. Seeing Alexandra glaring at him, he smirked and took out his claws and put it on the book. With a tearing sound, it tore her book and ran away.
"NO! NOT MY BOOK!" Alexandra sobbed loudly. Why did that cat hate her so much? She wanted to shave his fur and throw him into a lake.
"Calm down. It's just a porn book. Why do you even like those dirty books anyway?" snorted Cillian. Why did she like that type of books so much? Didn't 'outside' action enough for her?
"You don't understand, Cillian. These books are the greatest gift for us by you javanjis," Alexandra argued. She didn't care about the technological advancements. What greatly pleased was these books.
Rubbing her eyes, Alexandra pouted, "You men don't understand anything!"
"Yeah? Then replace us!"
"I want to! But I can't, can I? You two won't leave me!" Alexandra glared at him.
Cillian glared back and stood right in front of her. He always got surprised by how fearless this woman was. She was so small when compared to his towering figure.
"We will not leave you. It was your fault, wasn't you? You brought us to your home, so we are your responsibility," Cillian whispered. His eyes were fixated on Alexandra's throat, which looked quite pleasing and fair to his eyes... as if inviting him to wrap his hands around that lovely throat and... crush it.
Alexandra grabbed his collar, and pulled him towards her. She warned, "I am not responsible for you... and your brother. If you want to leave, then just leave... I don't you two constantly hovering over me like a pair of ghosts." She released her and walked away.
Cillian never understood her... even if he wanted, he couldn't. He breathed slowly, trying to remove all of his dark thoughts, which were swirling inside his mind.

Scouting clients was harder, especially against the guild.
'The Pearson Guild' was the only living guild after the javanjis took over the outer surface. They recruited adventurers of all types, even the ones who were disgusting and scummy. Those who joined the guild, were treated as if they were the heroes protecting the earth. The emperor's 'Origin Knights' had no control over the guild's actions, even if they were the 'actual' law protectors of this empire. One could say that the guild leader was the true ruler of this empire. Its power extended over the all the neighbouring kingdoms, acting as the sole communicator.
Alexandra walked slowly, with her hands inside the pocket. A long wooden sword was strapped to her waist, her eyes looking at the ground.
Suddenly, she hit against someone. Alexandra took a few steps back and looked up. Oh, no... how could her luck be so bad?
'Why did it have to be 'Christina Turner?' Does God really hate me that much?!'
"Oh? It's you. Searching for clients again, are we? If you use your body, then maybe you can finally land some clients." Christina was a long blonde-haired woman. A person who had a very beautiful face, with a big chest. She was an Origin Knight before she joined the guild.
Alexandra eyed her chest suspiciously. She asked, "Your breasts have grown a lot bigger than the last time we met each, haven't they? You know a lot of people would be happy to sleep with you... especially with that chest of yours. It's huge."
Christina's face burned with embarrassment. Her teammates were also blushing and glaring at the orange-haired woman.
"What the fuck are you saying?! Don't lump me with the likes of you! Everyone knows about your crude habits! You are always drunk at night and sleep around with a lot people!" yelled Christina. Everyone knew about this woman's 'whoring' habits. She changed partners like clothes.
Alexandra shrugged, "I don't care what other people think about me." A smirk appeared on her face as she walked towards Christina. Tiptoeing on her toes, she kissed the blonde's cheek, making her squeak in shock. "Christina, I don't like you, and you know that. But that doesn't mean... I won't sleep with you. I know your body desires me... I can see it in your eyes. Besides, I can sleep with you if you want. You have a great body. Don't worry... I can let you top me. I generally like my partner to dominate me, and I know it very well that you want that very much. I can sleep with your other teammates as well. A female-only party, right? I won't mind having a harem for myself. It would be a shame if I rejected any of you."
Christina was so angry and shocked by Alexandra's words that she fainted.
"Captain!"
"Captain, are you alright?!"
"Captain!"
Her teammates swarmed around Christina's 'fainted' figure, yelling and fussing about their captain's state.
Alexandra looked everything with a cold gaze. Sneering at them, she left the place, continuing her search for clients.
