NOVEL NEXT Celebration
Chapter 64 : Celebration
“Well ladies, today is the day! It’s time to see just how far you’ve come,yes?” Bracha said as she stood before the pair in their usual training room.
Bracha’s golden blonde hair shone in the dimming light of the sunset. It was the last day of their training and the sun was falling to boot. Bracha instructed the pair to return early so that she could access both of their progress.
Bracha walked up to Agni as she’d done so many times in the past, using the power of her Systema and ability as a trainer to inspect both her stats and abilities.

“Hmm. This is interesting Katrin. Would you mind explaining your reasoning behind acquiring a Grimoire?” Bracha asked upon having inspected Katrin’s current build.
“I see. Interesting. While spell casting wouldn’t necessarily net you much by way of XP bonus, you’re right -- using a Grimoire in conjunction with your Scribe abilities would be a perfect way to become a powerful spell slinger. I never thought of that-- then again, my magic is different from yours. Well done!” Bracha said upon hearing Katrin’s reasoning for her choices.
“Well ladies. I think you’ve done exceedingly well with the time you’ve been given. I think you’re ready to step out into the wide, wonderful, dangerous and beautiful world of Adventia, yes?” Bracha said as she suddenly drew close to Agni and Katrin, her hands behind her back. Bracha smiled as she then took both young ladies by the hand and led them to the back of the Trainer’s Chapel.
“I’ve got a surprise for you, a going away party!” Bracha declared as she led the two young ladies along by the hand. Moments later--
“This is a surprise? We...do this every night…” Agni whispered as she began taking off her clothing which was caked with dried Grimlock blood and saturated in her own sweat. It was unavoidable during battles to end up covered in a foe’s life essence, despite the fact that corpses would disappear rather quickly. Agni always found it strange, but soon became accustomed to it as a law of the world.
“Yes, but not everyday do we drink.” Bracha said as she held up two large bottles of wine.
*I’m not old enough to drink* Was Agni’s first thought, a remnant from her old life as she realized such rules didn’t matter in a new world such as Adventia.
The two normally took turns scrubbing and rinsing each other, but today Bracha insisted that they both have a seat on the wooden stools provided while she pampered them. The three nude ladies chatted about various things as Bracha went to work, first dousing them both with warmed water (courtesy of Agni and Fire magic), before she used soap to vigorously scrub their bodies.
Agni thought it was rather suspicious that it was a very normal rinsing, because Bracha was prone to “play” with them both occasionally -- especially Katrin. At first this bothered Agni, after all she wasn’t really used to such attention but after the past two weeks she’d come to expect and grow comfortable with it.
It seemed that occasional groping -- as long as there was no penetration, was a norm between women in Adventia. At least women familiar with one another. After they were all clean, Bracha having rinsed prior to their return, the trio found themselves in the steamy water of the large, wooden bath once more. It was more like a small swimming pool rather than a bath, though the water only rose to around the level of Agni’s knees.
“It’s been so long since I had company. I’m going to miss you two honestly.” Bracha confided in the two adventurers as she took a spot between Agni and Katrin, putting her arms around each. Bracha was a very attractive woman, her skin was tanned -- which seemed natural considering she rarely left the confines of the Trainer Chapel. Her blonde hair and pretty green eyes were a nice contrast while her body was flawless. Smooth skin, very little body fat and the appearance of slightly chiseled muscles in various places. Bracha affectionately ran her fingertips against both women’s shoulders as she spoke.
“It’s too bad Agni never let me puff puff while she was here.”
*Oh here she goes…* Agni thought as a smirk filled her face.
‘Puff Puff’ was Bracha’s term for motorboating and nuzzling breasts -- particularly Katrin’s. It had become sort of a ritual during their time and Agni realized why. Katrin’s massive DD mounds represented comfort. They were great to sleep next to, to squeeze, the occasional suckle or simply comfort groping. What’s more, although Katrin was normally very protective of her body she didn’t seem to mind when Agni or Bracha teased or touched her.
“I guess I’ll just spend my last moments with Katrin, yes?” Bracha said, pretending to be dejected as she focused all of her attention on Katrin who simply chuckled.
“For a succubus she sure is stingy with her body right Katrin-chan?” Bracha continued as she groped and pressed her face against Katrin’s body.
“There there.” Katrin said, indulging Bracha by patting her head.
“She can’t help being a stick in the mud.”
Agni’s jaw dropped completely as the words left Katrin’s mouth.
Shula erupted into belly straining laughter in Agni’s head.
“I- I am not!” Agni said incredulously as her face turned red from embarrassment. Bracha did not fail to miss the opportunity -- after all it was the one she created. She swiftly focused her attention on Agni, using the crack in her defenses to cling to the succubus gently and run her fingertips against Agni’s abdomen just beneath the surface of the water.
Agni felt the heat of embarrassment rise up from her chest as Bracha’s hands began to explore her body, slowly inching further down towards her nether region. She snuggled Agni so affectionately that it was hard to get her off, usually she would stiff arm Bracha before she got anywhere close.
*Stop being such a stick in the mud. Just….enjoy yourself.* Shula’s voice rang out once more after she finished laughing her head off.
*I am NOT a stick in the mud!* Agni mind-spoke viciously.
Agni’s focus was pulled back to the matter at hand as Bracha’s touch lingered around her inner thigh. Agni could feel herself slowly melting beneath Bracha’s caress when another hand appeared from her right side. It was Katrin who had now joined in. Agni felt something was amiss when she realized the familiar blush of drunkenness which appeared on Katrin’s cheeks.
“Are--are you two drunk?” Agni asked.
“I don’t know about ‘drunk’...but I feel good.” Katrin said as she placed her head on Agni’s shoulders glanced upwards, batting her eyes seductively.
*Fuck, she’s so hot.* Shula and Agni both mused in unison. Agni was surprised,she’d never seen Katrin as the aggressor. She was even more surprised to find Katrin was the first to lift her breast and begin caressing it. Finally Katrin’s soft, warm lips found their way to Agni’s nipples and began to lick and suck on them hungrily. Meanwhile beneath the water Agni couldn’t help but quiver as Bracha and Katrin both inched closer and grabbed the intersection of her knees, spreading her thighs wider.
“When did you two even drink!? And why didn’t I get any?” Agni asked as she glanced towards the two bottles, of which one was now completely empty.
“Hmm? While we were rinsing your back.” Bracha said. Thinking back, there was a moment when the two decided to “pamper” Agni.
*You sneaky…* Agni couldn’t finish her train of thought as waves of stimulation began to ripple across her body.
Soon any measure of resistance Agni had was gone. Katrin nibbled at her earlobe, occasionally moving further down to the side of her neck, even the collar bone. Bracha on the other hand had a firmer grip which was now tracing long, slow streaks along Agni’s inner thighs. The sensitive flesh there made her body quiver in anticipation. Bracha continued further, never penetrating Agni but simply edging her as she ran her fingers against Agni’s lips with the most gentle of pressure.
The combination of warmth from both Bracha and Katrin was enough to send Agni into bliss. It was around this time that she had an epiphany. She realized that sex was just a means, what she actually enjoyed most was savoring the emotions and sensations that accompanied experiences like this. She couldn’t help but think back to the night Abeni and Purscha “invited” her to the lakeside and the undeniable energy between the trio as they played with each other’s bodies. She remembered just how fast and hard her heart thumped in her chest at the sensation of a tongue pressed against her lips, she could even remember how wet Purscha’s body became in response to Agni’s advances.
The mood when compared to the current experience was more thrilling but no less intoxicating. Among two familiar people Agni could only describe the current exchange as “steamy”. Katrin’s advances were seeped in the throes of lust, every movement or touch was deliberate and passionate. Bracha’s caresses were devised to send fire to every corner of Agni’s body, she wasn’t pleasuring her but rather teasing her senses. Bringing the desire to its limits.
*So, now you get it. Being a Succubus is about enjoying the moment, savoring every last drop of emotion. The pleasure..well that’s just a plus.* Shula whispered. It was also apparent to Agni that Shula was feeling the same pleasure as her voice carried a tone Shula desperately fought to conceal.
The trio spent a long while in the bath, taking turns pleasing one another before each had their fill of fun.
