Vol.1 Ch.32 Match Maker
"Co on, let's wrap these bandages on you, Dalia," Rya said as she grabbed Dalia's hand tightly and walked over to a corner. Once they had their privacy, Rya instructed Dalia to hold one end of the bandage to her chest.
"E-Eh? Why do I need to wear these things? All they do is get in the way," Dalia asked with confusion as she held the end of the bandage in place. "I could scare that young one off if he cos by . Isn't that a better plan?"
'Jeez, this girl just doesn't get it. Haah... Hey? Is it just , or does sothing feel... off? What the hell is it?' Rya thought to herself while she continued to wrap up Dalia's big perky boobs.
"Really!? Can you really scare Percy away every ti he cos near you?" Rya asked with an amused grin as she finished wrapping her top.
"Yes, Alpha. He's no problem for ," Dalia said with a proud smile that showed off her sharp canines.
"Uh ha," Rya started to wrap Dalia's hips up, "Then why did my brave brawler hide behind when you realized he wanted you, hmmm!?"
Dalia blushes red and looks at the ground. "W-Well...I couldn't help myself. I just don't understand humans, Alpha. If it was a fight, then I would pound him."
'This poor girl. How can I explain it better to her?... Oh! I know!' Rya thought excitedly. 'Percy needs a girl like Dalia to get over Bell and Dalia will love a mate like Percy to help her understand humans. Plus, I've always wanted to be a matchmaker or a wingman, hehe... Or am I a wingwoman? Gah! That doesn't matter. Let's just see if I can get these two to like each other first.'
"Well, I think Percy would like you to be his alpha," Rya said to Dalia which made the wolfkin go into deep thought.
"He-He wants to be his alpha? But wouldn't he just exert his dominance over ? He is a male after all," Dalia asked as she tilted her head in confusion.
Rya finished wrapping Dalia's hips in the cloth bandage. "Well, I'm sure he would like to exert so dominance at tis, but he would most likely love to be dominated by you. Just tell him if he should take the lead or when you want to be in charge. He'll love that and he'll obey."
"So, I could be an alpha over a male?... Fascinating!" Dalia's face showed no emotion but her ears were twitching in excitent while her tail began to wag back and forth.
'Bingo! Great job, Ryan! You possibly started a new couple. Hehe... I really like helping people, sotis... If they deserve it of course,' Rya thought as she went around straightening up Dalia's new outfit, if you can call it that. And after staring and touching Dalia's body for all this ti. That's when Rya finally noticed what felt off about herself.
'A-Am I no longer attracted to won!? No, no, that can't be right... Can it? I an I had a clear view of Dalia's gorgeous naked body and I wasn't turned on by it!? Have I ntally changed into a female without noticing!? Shit!... SHIT! I HAVE BEEN ACTING LIKE A GIRL THIS ENTIRE TI!?!' Rya began to panic upon the revelation. She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself.
'No, not yet. I'm still a guy on the inside... I know it... I'll prove it by testing myself... Once we deal with the dungeon core I'll prove that I am still a guy! There's nothing to panic about. I'm still . I'm still Ryan.' Rya thought to herself as she cald down a little. She decided it wasn't worth worrying about it right now. Since there were other dangers around them. So with Dalia's sha now covered up, Rya and Dalia walked around the corner to find the others.

When Rya and Dalia ca walking back into the main party of the Goblin's Nest, Rya asked the wolfkin, "Hey Dalia... Do you want to pay any last respects to any of your fallen kin? Or is there sothing else you'd like to do before we start heading through the labyrinth?"
Dalia looked confused and tilted her head, "They are not of my pack, but a fire burial will do as they are warriors. They deserve to rest in peace."
"Got it, I'll see if Quin can do that. You can co watch if you like, though."
Dalia nodded as she followed Rya toward Quinus and the party.
"Hey Rya, we are just about ready to move out. Are you two set?" Quin asks Rya as he turns around towards her.
"Yes, we are good, but we have one request if you don't mind?" Rya replies as she walks towards the exit door.
"Na it," Quin responded while walking next to her.
"Can you please cremate the dead?"
Quin nodded, "Sure no problem. Everyone, get behind , please. I don't want any of you to get caught in the flas," Quinus unsheathes his sword as he channels his mana through it. Making the blade glow white before he readies himself to swing. The rest of the party moves to the side to get out of the way, leaving the dead bodies in the center.
*Swing!*
*Boom!*
As soon as Quinus swings his sword, a blast of fire shoots out, engulfing the bodies, and making the flas reach high enough to touch the ceiling. Flas consu the poor victims of the goblin horde. The sll of burning flesh and hair fills the air until the bodies turn into nothing but ash.
"May you all find peace in your new life," Quinus said as he watched the charred remains of the dead. The rest of the group nodded their heads in agreent as they all paid their respects to the dead.
"Let's go. We have a long trip ahead of us." Quinus says as they make their way to the door and leave the goblin nest.
"So your pack is going after the core?" Dalia asked.
"Yes, we are. I'm not sure if you had the chance to see a different group of humans go by you earlier before we found you, Lady Dalia. But we are chasing after them before they reach the core floor," Sir George said.
"I did hear a pack co by but I paid them no mind. I was in too much pain to care who the pack were," Dalia answered as she rubbed her nose because of the smoke.
"Well we have no ti to lose," Rya said as she went through the door and the rest followed.

The group started down the hallway again, for about fifteen minutes until they were stopped by a fork in the road.
"Which way should we go, my Lord?" asked Sir George.
"I think we need to let the ladies find the path. They have stronger senses than us," replied Quinus.
"Okay give a second," Rya said as she closed her eyes. So she could find the ether particles in the air.
"Hmm? Alpha can see the ether?" Dalia asked in surprise.
"Yeah, I can see the ether and the ether is coming from the left pathway," Rya explained while opening her eyes.
"Funny? The humans we are chasing went to the right. I can sll their filth coming from there," Dalia said as she sniffed the air again just to make sure.
"Why would Marcus take the right pathway if the ether is coming from the left?" Percy asked
"Oh, he probably doesn't know how to use his precious family heirloom, since he's a pathetic excuse of a noble," Sir George joked as he wanted to pound that traitor.
"Well, I hope it was a mistake on their part. Unless they know sothing that we don't," Rya said as she looked at the tunnel.
"So which way do we choose?" asked Sir George.
"Well I would go the left path, Quin," Rya said as she pointed to where the ether particles were coming from.
"Okay, we'll take the left... Lady Dalia, are you good at detecting traps?" Quinus asked the wolfkin.
"Of course, Beta! I'm a stalker-brawler after all!" Dania said while she gave a small smile.
"Okay. Percy... Aid Lady Dalia with finding traps as well, please. I don't want any of us to be hurt. We'll continue onward and keep an eye out for enemies and ambushes," Quinus said as he looked at the left tunnel.
"What!? A-Alpha! Beta doesn't trust !" Dalia whined as she pouted and complained to Rya.
"I-It has nothing to do with not trusting you, Lady Dalia... My Lord just likes having two sets of eyes over one. And I was the only one left who can spot traps with you... T-That's all," Percy said as he looked at Dalia's green eyes. He didn't want to say anything more that would make the wolfkin upset at him. So he kept his mouth shut and hoped Dalia would be fine with him by her side.
"You know, I can tell you still want to mate with , right?" Dalia asked while she wagged her tail a little as she kept a straight face.
"I-I'm sorry about that, Lady Dalia. I promise you on my honor as a Ranger of Fiafyr to respect your boundaries." Percy said while blushing as he looked at Dalia.
The wolfkin's tail stopped wagging. "Do you not find beauty anymore?" she said with a sad voice.
Percy panicked, "No! I find that you're beautiful and deadly as hell! And... Oh..." The ranger beca aware of his own actions and started to blush a deep red as he looked away. "Sorry. I didn't an to offend you."
"Hmm..." Dalia humd before her tail began to wag, showing off her amusent.
'Way to go, Percy! Hehe.' Rya thought to herself with amusent.
Quinus cracked a smile and Sir George shook his head in disapproval as the love sage thought he was failing at getting Dalia to like him.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Well, I guess I'll have you in the lead pack with . Just so I can see if your skills are good enough for the future," Dalia said as her tail wagged again.
"You'll... I an. Thank you, Lady Dalia, I won't disappoint you!" Percy said as he bowed to her.
"Is this normal for a human to do?... Well... Co on, let's go!" Dalia said as she started off down the tunnels.
Percy followed behind Dalia as he readied his bow and arrow.
