Chapter 5
Red mist formed into the curvaceous figure that he had come to know so well. Scarlet returned to the world amid the light and fanfare of the summoning.
“Master!” The red haired dragon girl bolted toward the man and gave him a fierce hug. Scott held her warmly in response and they shared a tender heartfelt moment.
Scarlet kissed him on the lips then giggled excitedly. “Finally! The job is over, right?”
Scott nodded softly then took a deep breath. “Yeah, it’s over.”
She noticed his expression and asked, “What’s wrong?”
He winced. “Well, nothing is really wrong.”
“Oh? Then why are you acting so weird?”
Scott placed his hand behind his head and laughed. “It’s a funny story, actually.”
A happy little Moo! from nearby caught Scarlet’s attention. A well-attired girl with far more curves than should be allowed by law sauntered up to Scott. She handed him a milk shake then smiled in a way that set the dragon girl’s teeth on edge. “Master…”
Scott eased away from the red head then put his hands up in a placating manner. “Hey, now…”
“Red hair… pretty. You must be Scarlet!” The blond girl smiled at the red head then offered her one of her milk shakes.
“Oh, yes. I certainly am Scarlet. Who are you?” The dragon’s eyebrows furrowed and her face shifted to a dangerously calm expression.
“I’m just a Minotaur cow, but master calls me Mina. I’m your new sister!” The cow girl lunged forward and gave Scarlet a bone-crushing hug. Even her draconic durability was stressed a little by the power in the Minotaur’s frame.
Scarlet’s left eye-lid began to twitch spasmodically. “Master?”
Scott took another step back then laughed in a slow high-pitched way. “Yeah, seems Mr. Oldman was too old to take care of Mina. She had been bought for his would-be grandson-in-law and granddaughter but the engagement broke off and his granddaughter didn’t want to run a dairy farm by herself.”
“That’s nice. That is a nice story. Why is she calling me sister?” Scarlet stared coldly at Scott, but the atmosphere had become quite heated.
Mina pulled back then looked at Scarlet. She smiled sweetly then said, “It’s because I am his naughty milk slut. That makes us harem sisters!”
The red head’s twitching eyelid began to spasm in a way reminiscent of someone tap dancing. “I see.”
“Master, did you get paid for your… work?”
Scott took another step back then laughed moronically once more. “Ah, about that…”
“Yes?”
“Well, Mr. Oldman had to get something out of the deal. So, he kept the milk and the money he was going to pay me.”
The eyelid twitching stopped. Her expression became cold and impassive. “So, are you saying that I spent twenty-four hours pining desperately for you, languishing in the depths of loneliness and desire for my wonderful master, and you spent the entire time milking some slutty Minotaur?”
“Hey… you’re making me feel self-conscious.” Mina pouted at Scarlet. The dragon girl felt the power of her love rival’s cute pout and shivered involuntarily. Such an unfair weapon!
The red head looked to the Minotaur then apologized. “I’m sorry, how rude of me.”
“It’s ok. Master calls me his slutty Minotaur all the time.”
“I see...” Scarlet became deathly still.
The dragon girl looked at Mina, smiled gently, and then said, “Please, excuse me for a moment.”
She extricated herself from the overly cuddlesome bovine monster then took a deep breath. “Master, I think we should work on your combat skills.”
“Oh, but I’m tired today, maybe tomorrow?” He smiled sheepishly then drew back several steps.
“No, no. You said it yourself. You aren’t strong enough to fight monsters, yet.”
She raised her left hand. Flames began to flow around her arm and focused on a space roughly a foot from her outstretched hand. A blazing sphere of heat and light formed quickly.
“Uh, Scarlet...” Scott took an involuntary step backward and tried to ward her off with his hands.
She looked at her darling master with a serious expression. “Let’s work on agility, master.”
Scott’s eyes widened and he shouted, “Oh shit!”
A fiery fastball flew in his direction. He barely managed to dodge the attack, but he knew that was by design. She wanted to cook him slowly. It would hurt more.
He rolled to his feet and took off as fast as his legs could carry him. Scarlet chased after him in hot pursuit. “Come back here and train with me, master!”
“No way!” Scott jumped quickly to the left, using a tree to shield him from another fireball. When the ball struck the wood, it gave off heat and concussive force similar to a hand grenade.
His ears rang and his vision swam a little. The sudden fury of the attack had caused him to experience minor disorientation akin to severe vertigo. He felt like he was going to fall, but he knew that he had to keep moving. Scott staggered away and tried his best to reach some semblance of safety.
“I only want to help you. Don’t you know how much I care about you?” A short burst of fire shot out like a flame thrower. Scott yelped as the flames licked at his rear end. She’d tried to burn his biscuit!
“Scarlet! Stop this! I could die!”
She screamed out, “Love hurts, master!”
Scott stopped running away when he heard soft sobs coming from the direction of his tormentor. Was she crying? “Scarlet...”
Mina had been watching the antics of her new family. Many thoughts occurred to her as she sipped on her milkshake. Finally, one thought won out. She smiled then sighed happily. “Milkshakes are really nice on a hot day, aren’t they?”
She looked to her new family again when an explosion sounded in the distance. The attack was followed by a loud cry of, “Don’t Scarlet me, you... you womanizer! Call me queen!”
“Oww... My butt!”
“What’s that?”
Scott peeked out from behind a tree and called out, “You’re the queen! You’re the queen!”
“Yeah, and what do you call her?” Scarlet pointed back towards Mina.
The Minotaur answered for him by shouting, “He calls me his naughty little milk slut, remember?”
Scarlet’s eyelid twitched. “Oh, he does. Does he?”
She turned slowly back to her master and a slow feral grin spread across her lips. Scott shook his head vigorously and cried out, “B-but, you’re the queen! You’re the queen!”
Despite his admission, Scarlet continued to chase him around for quite some time. She was keenly interested in his agility training and wanted him to get the best possible workout.
Mina giggled then stirred her milkshake with her straw. It was his fault really. She had repeatedly told him that she wasn’t a slut, right?
She watched the dragon chase her master around for a while then sat down on a nearby stump. “So active.” Life would be a bit more interesting from now on it seemed.

I am irreverent in nature. I tend to laugh at the strangest things, and usually those things are inappropriate to laugh at. This sort of fascination with the inane leads me to write comedy stories, and off-the-wall adventures.

The second episode of Freelance Saga is a tale that shows the journey of Scott Hunter after he is horribly injured during an attempt to login to the world of Alterra. Lost, wounded, and unable to log out, he is uncertain about his future.
This is a much darker, albeit occasionally humorous, episode. There are no graphic depictions of sexual conduct.
