"Your job for today is to clean Leona's room, without Y/n's help" Ruggie announced, giving Yuuna and Grim their own broom. Yuuna had a dumbfounded look on her face. She just came back from her chat with Tsunotaro, and now she has to do some chores for the night. She wouldn't be too dumbfounded if she wasn't tired.

"You'd better earn your room and board, herbivores" Leona said with a smirk. "I'm sure you'll do just fine" Y/n encourage them.

"T-thank you...[nickname]" Yuuna yawned as she leaned onto the broom, trying her best to sleep.

"Between Azul bossin' me around at work and Leona doin' it at home, I'm a mess. Uuuugh.." Grim complained, grabbing the broom from Ruggie's hand, trying his best not to fall, after all, it was taller than him.

"We don't have the right to complain, Grim" Yuuna was cracky. After all, SHE NEEDS SLEEP.

"Start by putting all his randomly discarded clothes into the laundry basket, then clean off his desk" Ruggie instructed them, chuckling at Yuuna's craby attitude. "Accessories go in this draer. Books go on that shelf. Once the desk is clear, wipe it off with a dustcloth"

"You're not a cub" Grim grumbled. "You should know how to clean up after yourself"

Y/ chuckled to herself since she heard Grim's grumbles. "Hm?" Leona seemed to also hear Grim complaining about him. "Care to run that one by me again?" he asked in a threatening manner.

"Eep! I-I didn't say nothin'" Grim stuttered. "Okay, I'll start cleanin' the pile fo stuff offa this desk...Whoa!" Grim's eyes widden at the sight of some alluring discoveries "He left some expensive-lookin' jewelry just lyin' around. And there's his wallet! W-ith this much stuff around, surely he wouldn't notice one little thing goin' missing, right?" Grim snickered. "That's what he gets for not puttin' this stuff under lock and key. Nyeh heh heh..."

Ruggie then slapped Grim's paw. "Don't even try it" the hyena glared at the raccoon. "That one's mine to nab- uh, I mean, he'd know immediately if something was unaccounted for."

Y/n chuckled and turned to Leona. "I keep telling you to stop leaving your valuables out in the open, Leona. You're gonna get robbed blind one of these days!" Ruggie and Y/n scolded the lion in unison.

"Ah, shut your trap. What are you, my mom?" Leona groaned as he turned to Y/n. "And stop agreeing with him, Lioness" he pouted. "So what if my stuff gets stolen, anyway? It's no big deal. I say if someone's got the guts to steal from me, they can go right ahead. Oi Y/n! That's my favorite pillow!" he shouted towards the Levia-fae who tried to steal a pillow because Leona said 'go ahead'

"Alright alright" Y/n put back to pillow on the bed she was gonna steal.

"But it IS a big deal! That's my point! It's all fun and games being rich until the day you suddenly feel the penny drop. They're called 'valuables' for a reason" Ruggie scoled the lion more. "This is what drives me nuts about your silver-spoon types..." he mumbled, having a irritated look on his face.

"aha, you should care more about your belongings, Leona" Y/n murmured, staring at Leona with dotted eyes.

"AHA! THAT'S IT!" Yuuna abruptly yelled.

"Whoa! What's gotten into you, Yuuna?" Grim yelped in surprised from Yuu's sudden outburst.

"Oi, Bring the volume down a notch" Leona glared at Yuuna as he covered Y/n ears instead of covering his own.

"ehe..."

"They're in the vault because they're NOT unbreakable!" Yuuna says in clarification.

"huh?" Ruggie and the others were confused about what Yuuna means, but then Leona and Y/n realized what the girl was talking about.

"Hah...ha ha ha! Of course! I get it now" Leona laughed. "That's an intriguing line of thinking" he smirked.

"Fufufu. That's my bestie" Y/n pirased.

"Huh? What'd I miss?" asked Grim, who was very confused as well.

"Here, I'll explain..." Y/n started to explain with the help of Leona for Ruggie and Grim to understand better.

"Ohh, I getcha! NOW it makes sense!" Grim exclaimed, having a toothy grin on his face. "Now that we've got a weak point to exploit, let's bust into Octavinelle right now!"

"There's just one problem with that" Ruggie interrupted Grim.

"Myah?"

"If Yuuna's read is right, then the Leech brothers are sure to show up and interfere" Ruggie stated. "Honestly, they're a bigger hurdle to you guys than the vault itself"

"For cryin' out loud..." Grim whined. "We're so close, I can almost taste it!"

"But that means that if we could do something about the Leech brothers..." Y/n started off. "If the Leech brothers weren't at all present..." Yuuna finished off.

"Hey. I've got a good idea of where you're going with this, so I'll get this outta the way now...I'm not helping. No way, no how" Leona declared. "The last thing I need is to get dragged into someone's else mess. Especially when that caphalo-punk is involved"

"Same goes for me. Don't even ask" Ruggie chimed in.

Y/n let out a sigh along with Yuuna.

"Hmph. You guys're real fairweather friends, y'know that?" Grim huffed in annoyance as Y/n's ear feathers fluttered a bit in annoyance.

Then, she had an idea and smirked. She leaned over to pick Grim as she gestured for Yuuna to come closer. "Grim, Yuuna...Play along with me on this one" she grinned, her golden eye glowing a bit.

"It seems you are back" a deep voice called out.

Y/n opened her eyes once again and let out a smile "Hello again, father" she greeted Morax, who was calmly sipping some tea. "By the look of your face, it seems you found out who is using Azul as a host?" she asked.

"Indeed. The blossom who is influencing Azul is...Invidia" Morax answered. "She is quite the strong one. After all, envy is a strong emotion"

"I see...so, she is the main reason why Azul has been so obsessive over me" Y/n put a hand on her chin. "After all, he does suit the envious type, after all, he had a traumatic childhood"

"Indeed. The stars have shown to me that Azul is indeed the next one to overblot, and it is getting nearer" Morax alerted Y/n.

"hm...it does make sense, after all, Yuuna tells me that she hears ink dripping whenever blot gathers inside of its host," Y/n thought out loud. She then looked at Morax. "I assume you have a plan for when he overblots?"

"I do." Morax then lets out his hand, causing a swirl of Geo to appear, morphing into a chest piece that resembled the Geo archon's gnosis.

"wow. It looks similar to your gnosis" Y/n awed.

"Haha, I guess it does. Now, what I want for you to do is to use this as last resort. After all, Invidia is quite stronger than Ira but weaker than Superbia, so you won't have to take your heart of frost again" Morax started off. "When you do use this, call out the spell to have me come to your aid"

"I see. Quite creative, father" Y/n snickered.

Morax let out an angry huff. "please don't mention my uncreativity"

"Yes yes." Y/n chuckled before letting out a yelp. "Y/n!" Morax called out as Y/n fell into the abyss.

'what is going on?!' she thought in her head.

Suddenly, she felt a tentacle wrap around her body. 'what is this? Tentacle hentai?' she cringed as more and more wrapped around her body, then she saw a familiar shadow getting closer to her.

"A-Azul...?" she called out.

"My lovely angelfish...please, give me a kiss! I want one too how you give the rest!" he shouted.

"eh?!" Y/n blushed in surprise. She then shook her head. "I cannot. Not when you are on the verge of falling too deep!"

"W-what...you won't give me something that others get...? Why? Is it because of my pathetic appearance?!" Azul asked, revealing his octo-merfolk form, morphing to what he looked like as a kid, as it seemed that Y/n was the same, in her Levia form. "I-I won't let you leave me! No no no no! I don't want you to run away from me as the others did!" he shouted, sounding like he did as a child.

His grip tightened on her. "You belong to me...you won't ever leave me!" he cried out as tentacles grabbed onto her, taking her into the white void, she was waking up.

"In this way, the tower will forever be our safe haven!"

"A romantic evening" Yuuna questioned out loud. She turned to see where she was at this time, as it seems to be some sort of lake, as two humans were riding a boat together.

"You know, I feel really bad not knowing your name" a male voice spoke. It was Eric, prince Eric, who Ariel had a crush on.

"Ariel, Her name is Ariel!" a red crab answered.

"Well, that's kinda pretty" Eric smiled. "Okay, Ariel" then were about to kiss each other until two moray eels tipped the boat over, causing the couple to fall in the water.

Yuuna was then pulled under the water, black ink filling her vision. "Oh, she better than I thought" another female voice spoke. "Well, it's time Ursula took matters into her own tentacles!" she grinned.

Then the scenery cleared up to see an older merman. "Ursula, stop! Let her go" King Triton ordered, holding onto his signature triton.

"Not a chance, Triton!" Ursula grinned as Ariel was being held by Eels who were grinning. "She's mine now. But, I might be willing to make en exchange..." the octopus took out a golden contract as one of her tentacles was holding it in front of the king. "...for someone even better. Now, King Triton, do we have a deal?"

Yuuna gasped as she tried to stop the King from signing but was held back by the same tentacles from before. "S-stop it! It's a trick! Please listen to me...!" she cried out as she saw two familiar silhouettes swimming around her, looking at the human girl as if she was some sort of prey.

Then a pair of hands grabbed her head, leaning down towards the girl's ear. "Y/n belongs to me. There is nothing you can do to change it" a dark voice said. Then the tentacle started to pull her down deeper into ink, swallowing her whole.

Yuuna woke up from her nightmare, as it seems Y/n was having one as well, but she heard Leona let out a groan, turning to the side and spooning Y/n. This seemed to have worked as Y/n calmed down.

Yuuna then wandered back to the dream she had. "She wanted to steal everything from the start..." she commented about Ursula.

She let out a sigh. "Talk about unscrupulous business practices..." she mumbled before falling back to sleep.
