Raphtalia was all kinds of nervous. She had talked to Naofumi about wanting to try going with a different party to get more experience to grow stronger.
Naofumi didn't show it but he was equal parts proud of her for becoming more independent and a bit hurt since she was the first one to stick by him and she was leaving. But he knew what she was capable of, and she had his full trust
So when she was in a guild and approached by an all-female party, consisting of a swordswoman, a demihuman mage, a cleric, and an archer, she was hesitant but stuck to her guns and accepted. It helped that they had a demihuman as part of their party which made accepting a bit easier.
Upon heading to their camp they made outside of town, just as night fell, they introduced themselves.
"I-im Raphtalia. It's nice to meet you all." The tanuki demihuman said shyly but politely
The leader of the band spoke up first. She was a young woman just a bit older then Raphtalia with crystal white hair and silver eyes that emanated kindness, tenacity and a hint of playfulness. She wore a set of white leather armor that was light enough for her to move in. "My name is Sora. I'm the leader of this party
The demihuman was a dog demihuman with shirt red hair and dog ears that reminded Raphtalia of Keel. She wore a black mage's robe and had a wooden staff with a blue jewel in it. "I'm Yoka. Nice to meet a fellow demihuman."
The cleric was a woman with long blond hair with ocean blue eyes. She wore a pure white cleric's robe and was holding a grimoire. "I am Zeera. A pleasure."
Finally, the archer was a girl, who looks barely older then Melty. She had boyish shirt white hair and wore a light green hunting outfit. "Heya. I'm Siya. I'm Sora's baby sister."
Well, that explained why she seemed so similar to Sora.
"So, I have a question for you, Raphtalia." Sora spoke up
"Um Y-yes?" Raphtalia stuttered
"What are your thoughts..."
Raphtalia waited with bated breath on what she could be asking about.
Sora then had a childish smile on her face. "...on tickling?"
Raphtalia blinked once. Then twice. Then 3 more times. "Huh?"
"I said, what are your thoughts on tickling?" Sora repeated feeling giddy
Raphtalia noticed how Yoka's tail was wagging excitedly, Zeera had a wobbly smile and Siya could barely sit still.
The tanuki girl was quiet for a bit. It had been a long time since she was tickled. But the times she did have some tickle fun with Keel and Rifana back in the day...it was fun.
"It's.....fun." Raphtalia said, looking back on those memories fondly
"Eeeek. We think it is too." Siya squealed immaturely
"It can be quite exhilarating.' Zeera agreed
Yoka just nodded while her tail kept wagging furiously
"And that's what our party's all about." Sora said proudly. "When we're not out slaying monsters, we're tickling the life out of each other."
Raphtalia looked surprised at this, and yet she felt her heart race with excitement. And her tail was starting to wag. She may be physically 18 due to having leveled up. But she was technically still a kid no older then Melty.
Zeera soon casted a spell which highlighted Raphtalia's tickle spots. Her armpits, belly, feet, tail, ears and ribs all glowed a bright blue very briefly. "Interesting."
But just to show Raphtalia they were the same as her, Zeera casted the spell on herself and the others.
Zeera's tickle spots were revealed to be her ribs, feet and sides
Yoka's were her tail, ears, feet armpits and belly
Siya's were her belly, feet, armpits and sides
And Sora's were...everywhere. The leader of the parry was a walking tickle spot
"Now then, since we're not fighting anything, Yoka, if you don't mind." Sora asked with an excited grin
"As source of thy power I order thee, decipher the laws of nature and protect my targets in a small range, Zweit barrier!"
Yoka casted a spell that shielded the party in a strong defensive and soundproof barrier.
Now that they were safe the party, minus Raphtalia took of their armor and got into something more comfortable for that night.
Sora was wearing a silver sleeveless shirt that exposed her armpits and common silver shorts.
Siya was wearing the same thing only her shirt was yellow.
Zeera switched to a crisp white shirt that exposed her belly with green shorts
Yoka had a black belly shirt and red shorts
Raphtalia simply took off her leather guard and pauldron, feeling a mix of nervous and excited
"I call tickling Raphtalia!" Yoka called dibs
"No fair." Siya pouted. "Fine. But you have to tickle me twice as hard tomorrow."
"Deal." Yoka accepted
"I believe you promised me some payback last night, Sora." Zeera said with a playful smile
"I wanna tickle you too, big sis." Siya said
"A double team. Oh, woe is me." Sora said tho that wide smile betrayed her excitement
Sora sat down and out her hands behind her head and stuck her feet in Zeera;s lap
Siya grinned before going behind her sisters and tickling her all over her upperbody, making the leader break into childish laughing fits. It only increased as Zeera got to work on her feet, making the feeling even better for her
"Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
Raphtalia only had an entire second to blink in surprise before Yoka stuck her hands in Raphtalia's armpits, making her squeak and try to hold her laughter in
"You don't need to hold back. The barrier's soundproof. No one;s gonna hear us." Yoka assured before she tried tickling the tanuki's girl tail, making her finally break out giggling
"Ehehehehehehehehee ahahahahahahahahaha"
"Aww, you sound adorable." Yoka cooed, getting a blush from Raphtalia
Yoka was quite the hyperactive girl as she didn't stay in one place or tickle spot for long as she got her belly, then her ribs, then her ears, all the while Raphtalia's giggles slowly turned into laughter.
"Wow, you are really ticklish huh?" Yoka asked as Raphtalia was curled into a ball as she was helpless with laughter as Yoka kept poking at her ribs
Yet, despite it, she didn't say or do anything to make it stop. The more she laughed, the more open she felt. She was actually slowly starting to have fun.
After a while, Raphtalia was shown mercy while Sora was still happily laughing her heart out
"Are you ok?" Yoka asked
"I'm ok. Just...might be a while before I get used to this." Raphtalia said, a bit red in the face
Yoka nodded in understanding as Sora had finally gotten a break.
"I'm sure this was unusual but I promise you'll enjoy your time with us." Sora said softly as the party soon got on their bed rolls and went to sleep for the night.
Raphtalia hoped that Naofumi and Filo were doing alright without her as she too fell asleep
