Chapter 15: Missing Something

We got up, and Leah brought the smaller girls from the water, but now they were trying to terrorize her just out of reach. The girls made dives at her as she walked, but Leah was made of tough stuff, and barely blinked an eye as they did.

The girls soon grew bored of their games since it was getting no reaction out of Leah, and came over behind Riza. They both started to comb through her hair, and the small breeze their soft buzzing wings made was refreshing.

The sun was out in full force, and it was a hot and cloudless day for the most part. No wind to speak of really, but the heat was a bit humid, yet I did not sweat.

I had learned very little about Bees in school, other than the basics. Bees lived in hives, they spread pollen and making honey. Beyond that, nothing.

I was a desk jockey that punched keys all day, at a desk, doing my nine to five. I was a creature of habit, but now I was part of something more, and my habits would need to change.

I could see my lovely cute girls bounding over, their home colors a stark contrast to the rest of the ferrets.

"Ashia! We rested and now can show you our house!" Miku said jumping with excitement and spinning around.

"No, we couldn't rest bee-cause you wouldn't stay quiet!" Xani scolded her sister.

I was just going to pretend I didn't hear that, but a massive dork-like girn was growing on my face as I listened to the two of them. They are so damn cute, I'm just going to seize, and tip over dead from just how adorable these girls acted!

"Yes, I would love to go see your home, but are you going to be alright later? I don't know very much about your people, but I don't want to do anything that harms you," I said, but I didn't think them not sleeping would, but I was new, and assumptions made an ass out of you and me.

"No, we will be okay, but we might be a bit sleepy tonight, that's all. At this point it doesn't really matter, we are already both worked up," Xani said in a somewhat calm voice, but it looked like she was holding back.

"Ya! Ferrets have three modes! Sleep, wake up, and this!" Miku said as she spun in circles.

Xani watched her, fidgeting.

"Xani, you don't need to hold back. I think the two of you are adorable when you get excited," I told Xani, and her eyes got big as a smile showed me a few sharp teeth, but nothing to be considered hard to look at.

If anything it just made them vicious little cuties that could protect me in a bind, after the two of them stopped spinning, I turned to the others.

"Are you all wanting to come with me? You can stay out here and explore, or whatever for now if you would like," I told the three girls that were not at my side.

"I will take these two with me, and we will do some collecting so we can start making wax," Leah explained to me.

That was a great idea, but I was worried about sending them alone. I still had two points left, and we would get more points.

I should use the points on the girls, but I think it would be better to have some more protection. I turned back to Xani, and Miku, hoping that they could help me with this.

"Do you girls think that you could find two men that would be willing to join us like you two? I want to send some guards with the girls, do you know anyone that might want to help?" I asked the two, and both of them looked at each other and grinned.

"Miku go get Tag and Sig," Xani said to her sister, and Miku bounded off.

Xani turned back to me with a smile.

It's good that you like us in pairs, makes it easier if we can keep our partners around. Even with Miku leaving just now, it doesn't feel the same when she isn't close, and I can't hear her," Xani explained.

"Hear her? You mean like her thoughts?" I asked.

"Yes! When we form a connection with our pair, we are able to hear certain thoughts if the other wants us to. We aren't born as pairs, it's something we developed over time. It was natural for us to be paired, and these two are both twins as well," Xani explained.

I groaned inwardly. I was going to need to get name tags or something, or I could see what System options I was given for their classes.

Knowing what I did now; I didn't really like the idea of giving the points out before they had achieved something, but this couldn't be helped.

'Even after you select the first class, Subjects will still gain class options for the next evolution. There is no set level that a Subject evolves at, it is dependent on the class. Once a class has been gained and acquired, you will have statistics to tell you more information about the evolution that I can provide,' Queeny told me.

That was a big help, and the fact that Queeny answered my questions without prompting was even better.

'While you are the one tasked with using the Queen System for your people's betterment, I also have a task. My job is to help you rise to the top and achieve the perfect death,' Queeny told me.

OwO, that was pretty dark, but I understood what she, or he meant. Maybe the world didn't have a goal for me, but the Timeduss did.

What do you get out of all of this? There has to be something for you to want to help me, right?

Sure this could be an order, but you are more than just helpful. There is no way something ordered to help would offer to help beyond what was required, right? Or was I missing something here?
