The minotaur girl was about 5 feet tall and covered in a weird cloth that ended at her lower thighs. She had tiny black horns that were partially covered by her short black hair. Her horns seemed to glow slightly in the gloom of the candlelight. Most of her looked human except that she had the legs of a bovine, covered in black fur.

I couldn't help but stare, this made no sense to me.

Why would they summon a minotaur? They could simply just go to your nearest dungeon or to a deep mountain cave and capture one.

Not to mention how they are an all-male race. No one has ever found a female. This could be a huge discovery!

I'm gonna be rich!

Stowing all my loot, I picked the girl up off the floor and left the room. The cave seems to have gone back to normal, the walls stayed where they were supposed to this time. I come across a door that I haven't seen on the way in. I feel like I might not have had enough loot yet, so I set down the girl and peer through the keyhole. Several lumps of cloth were in the corner. Weird, thought I saw one shiver.

"Detect trap"

Releasing the Mana from my hand it went through the keyhole, sliding its self through the door like thread through a needle eye. Scanning the entire room beyond the door with an invisible light and then returning to my hand. Instantly I knew there were no traps and begin to pick the lock. Took about a minute before I was able to coax a soft click out of it.

"Damn, I'm out of practice" I muttered to myself while opening the door.

The floor in front of the door was covered in runes that I recognized as smell absorbing and noise cancelling spells. I realized why they were there as soon as I walked past the door.

There was a pit of blood and body parts embedded in the floor on the other side of the room and for some reason there was some fruit mixed in there amongst the gore. The smell was so sickening I emptied my stomach right there on the floor.

The sound of me puking up my guts made the cloth sacks I saw through the keyhole move and shift around. Large metal bars stood between me and the moving cloth sacks.

"Oi, Show yourself or I'll leave you here to rot" I say thinking maybe it's another discovery which means more profit. The sacks shifted until two furry ears popped out, then a head. My enthusiasm faded as I realized oh, it's just a beastkin.

"Are you here to rescue me?"

"That depends, how rich is your family?"

She was silent for a second as if considering if I would rescue her or not.

"My name is Vylet Faye"

Oh fuck, she is a noble.

"Finch the elf at your service" I said as I pick the lock for the cage. Almost drooling at the thought of a reward for returning her.

The walk out was a little shorter than I thought it would be, but I was happy to finally be out of that cave. I wasn't in there for long, but I already never want to go back

Vylet seems to feel the same as she breathes deeply of the fresh air. I can't imagine what that room must have smelled like to a beastkin with their heightened sense of smell. Now that we are in the sunlight I can get a better look at her face.

She has the trademark ears of the beastkin sticking out of her fiery red waist length hair. A small scar on her cheek close to her short muzzle and a thin layer of hair covering her entire body. The only thing she is wearing is the thin cloth sack I found her under. I cut out armholes and fashioned it into a makeshift shirt until I can get her some actual clothes. I forgot to cut a hole for her tail, but she didn't seem to mind it.

She kept glancing at the girl I was carrying. I don't know why it took me this long to realize, but the girl on my shoulder...

wasn't wearing any underwear.

I immediately headed back to the village to get these girls some clothes. Before I get misunderstood by some passing adventurer.

We travelled back to the village and I broke into the house of the woman with the most children and raided her closets for clothing for the girls. I set the minotaur girl down on one of the beds and brought out some of the clothes I thought would fit her. I left Vylet to choose what she wanted to wear. I had found a dress for her to wear because pants didn't seem to agree with most that didn't have human legs.

Putting underwear on her had been a chore, her hooves kept getting in the way and tearing the cloth. I was close to giving up and hoping she doesn't like to kick very high, when I noticed Vylet standing in the doorway giving me a dirty look.

"What?" I asked without realizing I had an almost naked girl in the bed next to a pile of ripped underwear with a fresh pair in my hand and the girls legs up.

"Oh.... this isn't what it looks like"

My face turned red as I tried to assure the girl that I have no interest in kids. She tilted her head and looked directly into my eyes.

"Good, otherwise I would have to use these"

She brought up her left hand and showed me the eight knives in her hand.

"My aim is quite good, my father used to teach me while we went peasent hunting"

A lump rose in my throat "Please tell me you mean birds"

Her only reply was a smile that gave me the feeling that this trip would be far from pleasent.
