EostiaScribe just favorited your story.

HOLY JUMPY GIBLINGS! The EostiaScribe himself just favored my story?!

I have no words. This is an honor.

And I must admit, 40 pages wasn't my goal; I just wrote something I wanted to try and this happened.

Anyways! Thank you, everyone, including Scribe, for your reviews, and liking this story so far, and those who point out some mistakes. I hope that what I plan won't be 'that bad'.

Now then, let's begin!

(AN: I apologize for this hiatus. I honestly have been focusing on my work places, and several other personal stuff for myself.)

(AN 2: I also want to thank everyone who has given this story a chance. I really appreciate the support and hope that you all will still be at the end of all this)


"Once again, I appreciate your time with this. Lord Cross."

I sniff at Sorcerers's words. "That's fine. You said this will catch some curiosity in me."

We had moved from the center of the guild and made our way to the upper level of the Guild, where the private tables are. You know, the 'usual' talking in secret that happens in the movies.

We all sat down; and by 'all' I mean Sorceress and me. Hikage chose to stand behind me, like a bodyguard would do.

Seriously, all she needs is a tuxedo and a pair of sunglasses.

In fact, editor! Put it on screen!

…Shit. This is not that kind of story.

I mean-

Nope! The moment is lost! Moving on!

"So, tell me," I began saying as I connected my hands and placed them on the table. "What can I help you with?"

The elf simply placed her hand in…her cleavage-

('Damn! The Grand Canyon is big alright.')

And pulled out something, it was small if she could hide it in her entire hand. She placed it on the table and-

Holy shit! Observe!

[-]

Name: Dragon Claw

The curved-pointed horny nail of the foot of a dragon. Strong enough to crush metal in one swipe.

Rarity - Rare

Quality - Excellent

[-]

I snapped my head around, making sure that nobody was looking at us, before narrowing my eyes at her. "Where did you find this?"

From what information I gathered about my life before merging, Dragons have been an absolute myth. There had been theories of them existing somewhere in the era, and evidence that some are still alive.

Obtaining something like this? It is practically impossible for people like us. Even my mother, with her connections, would find it difficult to even get a scale the size of a finger.

"That was found in a certain place I will keep for myself until we reach an understanding." She said as she once again placed her hand inside her cleavage and pulled out three Dragon Claws. "But I was simply investigating a place for some materials for a potion I was making when I came across this…treasure."

Not going to lie, it was. With that claw, anyone could make a decent knife that would never lose quality for at least 50 years, and that's one option. Imagine what else could be there.

But while my curiosity changed into interest, it also came with confusion and suspicion.

"...Why?" I ask her, making her hum. "You said it, this discovery is a treasure. You could get rich with possibilities…Why did you bring this here?"

Thinking this logically, she shouldn't have a problem with anything. She's a powerful magic user, and according to my memories, should be Rank A.

Yeah, something I seem to have forgotten to explain. Adventures are ranked, to the surprise of nobody.

Is the usual, from A to E, highest to lowest.

Hikage and I are C Rank, last I checked. Two ranks below her, it made no sense she wouldn't be able to handle it, or even ask for adventures from the same rank.

"Call it a woman's intuition." She simply said as she placed her arm on the table and rested her head on it. I think I'm seeing some sort of…curiosity in her eyes. "I felt that going into this small expedition alone would be unwise. So here I am, looking for a few brave souls to accompany me on this small quest."

Okay, that makes a bit of sense. But still- "That still doesn't answer; why come to me?" I need to know why she brought this to me.

Sorcerers simply stretch her hand at him. "Before I explain, may I please hold your hand?" I felt Hikage glaring from behind. "Worry not, bodyguard. I'm simply in need to confirm my suspicion." She said that with a smile, not even unnerved.

Hikage didn't say anything. Or more likely, she couldn't.

I think this is her way of saying that she will only act if told to.

"...At ease," I raised and showed my backhand, "I don't think she'll do anything to me." Again, she's way more powerful than us combined right now.

Even if she tried to, which she won't as she saved me from Zack, she would be in deep trouble with Mother.

I mean it…Nobody wants Tamanna Crusch on their bad side.

Hearing my words, Hikage toned her glare. With her calm a bit, I extended my hand at Sorcerer, touching her skin. She was smooth and so soft. The elf closed her eyes for a moment…and then her cheeks turned red and she began to chuckle. "Marvelous…" She opened her eyes again, and I saw that her curiosity turned into something else.

I'm not very smart to figure that out just yet, but I think the sentence 'I want it!' fits here.

"Is as I suspected. Lord Cross." She pulled away her hand. "You have a fine talent for magic."

"...Huh," I said to her, while internally rolling my eyes. Of course, I have magic, my stat said so, but I haven't… ('Xeno? Is my magic unlocked?')

Not yet.

('Then how did she…Are you made of magic?')

No.

So she can sense my dormant ability? Interesting. "What exactly are you saying?" But let's keep it safe for now and be dumb.

Who knows who is your enemy and ally?

"That you have potential in using a lot of magic." She explained, "I can sense magic around me, and can identify those who can use it well." She looked at Hikage, "You're little girl over here has a good amount of magic as well. Enough to rival Rank B adventures."

"..." If Hikage was happy for the compliment, she sure didn't show it, or she didn't care much.

"That man you had a problem with? His magic was regular. He could handle all Rank C adventures if he trained well."

Zack was born into nobility after all, and he is a mercenary. So it's no surprise that he has some sort of knowledge of it.

"But you?" Sorcerers look back at me, "I sense a lot of magic. So much that I'm completely mesmerized by the potential you could have. That's why I came to you."

So I attracted her with my magic? My still-lock magic pool.

Yeah, sorry people. I'm feeling a flag, but I don't know its color.

"...Well, it is nice to know that I have magic in me and got interested in how to use it, but that still doesn't answer the question of why you came to me with this." I need her reason here.

"Tell me, Lord Cross. How would you like to learn magic from me?" She finally said.

"...Are you offering to be my Master in magic?"

"I find it disgraceful that you have magic but are unable to use it."

She brings up a valid point; what's the point of having magic if you can't use it? "I must agree with that, and pardon my words, but what makes you believe you're capable of helping me? Let alone become my Master?"

Now, don't get me wrong, having someone like her as a Master of magic would be a blessing. Not only because she is considered the best Magic user in Crusch, but being an elf is a big plus since her affinity with magic is very high.

Did I mention that before? I mean, it should be obvious by now; Elves are known for having good use of magic, or at least that's what fiction stories and movies said(anime and manga as well).

Anyway, it would be beneficial for me to have her teach me…but like I said, can I trust her? Is becoming my teacher her goal…or there's something more?

If so, there's not much I can offer as I'm the 'Bastard' of the Crusch family.

And that is a look of weakness in the nobility, far often what it's used for 'other' things

"Are you saying that you already have people that can teach you better than I?" If she felt insulted by my question, she wasn't bothered by it.

Like, she was smiling even wider.

"...No." To be honest, the only ones with Magic that I know were Mother, Safina, and one more that my mind is currently blanking out at the moment.

Safina isn't that advanced in magic, Mother is a no-go for…personal reasons and the other is currently unavailable to me.

"And I spent most of my time alone in my potions and adventuring." Sorcerers sigh as she seems to deflate, her breast landing on the table and just bouncing. "I really could use some company right about now." She is inflating her cheeks like a kid.

"...Not going to lie, having you teach me would be a blessing." I said, making her perk up, "But before I decided to do it, how about we do a test of teamwork?" Yep, this will work.

"Teamwork?" Sorceres raised an eyebrow, "Are you saying you don't trust me?" Seriously, I just said that not too long ago.

"No offense." I closed my eyes and placed my hand on the table, crossing my fingers. "But just because you are the best sorcerers in the land, doesn't mean I should trust my well-being in your hands just like that, and vice-versa."

"...So you wish for something to test me…and have something for me to trust you?" She summarizes it very well.

"I find that the best outcome." I said with a narrowing look. "For my well being, and yours."

"...Heh…Hehehehe." I don't know what she found funny.

[5 Reputation with Dinelynd(Sorcerers)]

[Dinelynd(Sorcerers) - 5/100]

But it seems that I'm on the right path.

"I was right to speak with you." Sorcerers said as she grabbed the Dragon Claws and put them back…between her cleavage. "Alright. I accept your conditions; what exactly do you have in mind, Lord Cross?"


( Later, on the road to Manor's Entrance)


"Wow…I feel so tired and I barely did anything." I said as I rolled my shoulders.

Talking to the elf took only thirty minutes, I had told her about the bandit problem in town. It was simple what she should do; help me out by either keeping an ear or eye on any of this or get information that could lead to these heists. Accepting the condition, she told me she would have something for tomorrow and that I should meet her before noon.

Simple and easy? Too little to gain my trust? Probably. But I don't have anything else that would put a challenge to a Rank A adventure.

I literally just got here.

"Thoughts?" I asked Hikage.

"...She's okay for now." She said with a tone that leaves little to believe that is a good thing. "I do not think she would be so foolish to talk to you with alternative intentions so forward."

"Well, only time will tell." The sad truth of those words indeed.

We reached the gates of the manor, greeting the guard before walking inside. Telling her to dismiss, Hikage bowed before disappearing into her shadow.

How I envy her. I want to disappear into my shadow too.

Looking at the corner of my eye, I saw that it was 5:30 PM. It was still early, so I chose to go to one more place before heading to the dining table.

I brought my map again, showing me not just the landscape, but also the quest I have to do. There was a check in the house gate, telling me that I had filled it.

That's 1 out of 5.

('Hey Xeno.') I mentally spoke to my omnipotent guide. ('I didn't receive any notification or quest option when I talked to Sorcerers. Why is that?')

You didn't exactly accept working with her. I can only show the mission/quest that you take.

('That sounds oddly convenient.')

I'm here to help you on this journey. While my information is limited, I will assist to make you better.

('...I appreciate it.') I must be honest, I have never received this much help before.

Not even back home.

You are welcome.


I found myself entering the house's library, because what medieval place would it be if a household didn't have a bloody library with books?

…Wait, has there been one without it before?

Anyway, I found myself not only because I wanted to see what was around, but because talking with Sorcerers has reminded me that I have memories of being here to read with Safina and learn magic.

Surely I will find something here.

Walking to the first shelf with books, I began to look around, surfing through my new memories before landing in one book. A simple basic magic book for beginners.

I'm not kidding, that's the title; 'Basic Magic Book for Beginners'.

Insert Cringe image here.

Rolling my eyes, I took it and opened it. The plan was to see what it had and try to unlock my magic.

[Magic Unlock]

I wasn't expecting to get it the moment I read the first page. In fact, for some reason, I already knew what the book had.

[Spell Unlock - Fireball]

[Spell Unlock - Levitation]

[Spell Unlock - Thunderbolt]

And I got three spells…Xeno, explain real quick.

Gamer's Power.

Mhm! I was just making sure. ('This power is too broken, and I love it!') Why wouldn't I? I don't have to waste too many brain cells anymore! ('Does this work with…scrolls and shit?')

Yes.

Perfect.

I quickly closed the book and began to use 'Observe' on everything in the library. I will learn everything here, so if you'll excuse me~


( One hour later)


"Huh…so plumbing is in this era. Magic plumbing, that is." I said in good fascination as I closed the 75th book, related to plumbing, in case I had to fix a pipe.

Are you proud of me now, Mario?

I grabbed the 76th book, this one about the story of Crusch founder, Braxus Crusch, Mom's Great-Great-Great Grandfather. Opening the book, I felt information just go inside my mind.

Oh…Interesting.

"Lord Cross?"

"Hmm?" I perked at the call of my name, looking up from the book, I saw a maid had entered the library.

However, this one wasn't just any maid. (I know, I know. Really?) She was a mid-thirties beautiful woman with blonde wavy hair, some of it tucked under a bonnet. Instead of wearing the outfit of the usual maid, she was wearing a Victorian outfit, hugging her hourglass figure that could rival Mother; incredibly well endowed, with large assets and curvy hips. "Dinner is ready, Lady Tamanna is calling for you."


Name: Maria Victorian

Level ???

Title: Maid of Tamanna Crusch

Class: ???

Status: Healthy, Relax, ???

Thoughts about you: Acknowledgement, ???

Born from a family of commoners, Maria was sold by her parents to Lord Grande Crusch (Mom's Grandfather) in hopes that she would get a better life. Reluctant, she became a maid of the household and soon found herself respecting the Lord, and becoming Tamanna's loyal maid (and trusted friend) dedicating herself to be at her side and protect her and her children. ???


Excuse me? Why is she with multiple question marks on level, class, thoughts, AND description?

Xeno?

….

I am not liking this silence.

…Good luck!

You, mother-

"Lord Cross?" I snapped back as Maria called me.

"In a second, Maria." I replied as I closed the book and went to place it back on the pile of books. "Did Farasha came back?"

"Unfortunately, Lady Farasha is still out." Maria said, "We have received a letter not too long that things have been hectic near Boan. Fortunately, she found a resident with the Prefect and will be staying there for the night." Well, guess she won't be joining us for dinner.

"Did the letter specify details of the problem?"

"A simple 'This thieves are tricky' statement." So in other words, she claims to have it under control, despite being difficult.

"Well, she claims to be fine, so that's enough for me." I said as we began to leave the library and headed to the dining table. "What's for dinner?"

"Garnish Mutton Curry." Yum!

It took us five minutes to reach the dining room, where Mom, Safina, Hikage, Evelyn, and two other maids were waiting for us. My dark elf maid had quickly prepared my chair and let me sit on it. I thanked her, which made her blush and smile before she and the rest began to remove the trays to show us our food. With a simple prayer, we began to eat.

Honestly, it amazes me how I have clean eating manners. Not that I'm implying I was a pig back then, but it's not easy to get proper training in this; especially when I'm now part of a nobility house.

The food was okay for my taste. I'm not quite peckish, but I feel like the meat lacks several things; like the right kind of seasoning. Hmm…will need to see this later to discuss.

Looking at my side, Hikage was eating her meal with a small lack of manners and speed, as if her mind was somewhere else at the moment.

Now, you may be wondering why my bodyguard is eating at the table with the family too.

That's quite simple; Mother.

"Hikage, dear. Please eat slower," Tamanna said to her, making the green-haired to slow down. "I don't want you to choke on your food. And please clean your face, it's unbecoming of a lady."

Hikage simply nodded. "Yes, Lady Tamanna-"

*Crack!*

I cringed when I heard Tamanna's spoon crack in her hand. "Hikage…what have I told you about calling me?" I saw an aura coming out of her.

Looking back at my bodyguard, her usual expression stood, but I could feel her shaking a bit. "...I'm sorry…Mother."

The aura vanishes instantly and Tamanna smiles brightly. "That's more like it, dear." You could feel me and Safina just sweatdrop at this.

Yeah, Tamanna has…the tendency to 'adopt' children in any way she could.

As in, when she heard about Hikage's childhood, she just blatantly declared she was her 'daughter'. Something the poor girl didn't know what to do with or feel.

"...So…I talked with Sorcerers." I brought up a subject to talk about as we eat-

"What?!" Safina squawks at me in disbelief, "You met Sorcerers?!" Right, as a practitioner of magic, someone like her would find the Greatest magic user in Crusch's admiration. "And you talk to her?!"

"The other way around; she spoke to me." My words made her jaw drop. "Saying that I seem to have a hidden talent for magic and wish to…become my Master."

"...Oh…So this is how Sister feels when you get something so unfair." Safina was now looking at me with jealousy and pouting hard.

It's adorable.

"Oh hush now, Safina." Tamanna waves to her to calm down before looking at me. "But oooh~ I'm so happy for you! Dinelynd is one of the best! If you accept her offer, it will be a massive boost to you!"

I looked at her in surprise, "You know her? Even her name?"

"Oops!" She placed her hand, sporting a surprise look. "I wasn't supposed to say that."

"Mother!? Why am I hearing this now?!" Even Safina was taken aback. "I've been trying so hard to get a good magic teacher and you had contact with one of the best?!"

"It's not what you think!"

"Why am I not surprised?" I blankly stared at my teary Milf Mother. "Next you will say that you are friends with the High Queen."

"...I mean…"

You could feel me and Safina just blinking rapidly before turning our heads at her with a glare. "And to the absolute surprise of nobody." I said.

I don't know why, but I just had to say it.

Quite sophisticated, I must say.

Tamanna blushed, "I-I wouldn't say we are friends or I know her, but I did meet her a few times and that was when I was young!"

"How young are we talking about?" This time, Safina asked.

"Uhm…That's not-"

"When she was nineteen."

I felt my eyes just pop off like a cartoon as we all robotically (even the eating Hikage with her usual expression, and Evelyn and the other maids) turn to Maria, who remains passive and unflinching. "She was acting like a blushing maiden when she met her. Almost wet herself, If I remember correctly."

Safina was the first to let her jaw fall onto the table.

"M-MARIA!" Followed by Tamanna turning like a tomato and glaring at her with a death stare. "You weren't supposed to say that!"

"...Ah, that's true." She dared (I could somehow tell she was faking it) to look surprised at the fact. "Apologies, Madam. I forgot that you never wanted me to say how I found you touching yourself after having a conversation with her." Tamanna slowly began to feel her spirit just leave.

And what was more scary is that my Mother, the big milf Countess of an entire land…had no right to say anything.

…Maria was terrifying when she wanted to.


Having done eating after that embarrassing moment that I might be traumatized (Even with Gamer's Mind) I excuse myself so I can take a bath.

"Wow…It's big." I commented as I entered inside, having stripped off my clothes and was now in a robe (Damn, how do Japanese do this?). The tub was a huge, usual medieval tub with just two feet by four feet, and changed back in my apartment. This one was closer to ten feet by ten feet.

Any bigger, I'd call it a swimming pool at most.

I quickly cleaned myself off and entered inside, my knees giving in to the warm water, sitting on the tub's built-in seat. ('Hello warm bathtub, how I miss you again.') To be honest, I haven't gotten a warm bath in years in my old world.

Circumstances and all that.

As I enjoy the bath, I open my status panel and I begin to look at what I currently have in my inventory.

[-]

[Shield of Crusch - A circular shield made for Barada Gallon as a gift from Tamanna Crusch. Composed of Orichalcum, it can reduce heavy damage and magical attacks.

Rarity - Unusual

Raises DEF by 4% and reduces damage and magical attacks by 3%]

[-]

I saw an image of the shield, it was a resemblance to Marvel's Super Soldier's shield. Instead of the American stripes color and star, it was a glowing metal with two layers, the front having a bump and a zig-zag form heading to the center, like a thunderbolt.

This…was what helped my father regain his memories of me.

From what Mother told me, the shield blocked a powerful Axe swing. The force behind it was too strong for my father to completely stop it, causing the shield to be pushed into his head and receive a hit…

That's where he remembered me.

And it was what caused him to lose his guard and receive the hammer to the head and the stab to the ribs.

And then, proceeded to kill three of them, and cause the bandits to run away…before his body finally gave in.

And now, it's in my possession. The only thing that holds the memory of a father I couldn't even remember its face…yet, I felt some sort of connection with him.

('I guess, in some way, he must have felt wanting to see me again, even if just a little.') I deduced that Barada had put in his feeling, or magic, through the shield to try and tell me. ('Well, at least you tried to amend forgetting me.')

"Something the matter, Boss?"

"...Nothing much." I sigh…before turning to the side of me with a raised eyebrow, totally not spooked, at Hikage sitting next to me, all naked. "And when did you get in here?"

Her usual amber blank expression looked at me as she relaxed on the steamy water. "Just a few moments ago." She said before proceeding to stretch her arms up…and giving me a view of her floating mounds.

Now that I have a closer and better look, she has quite the smooth skin, like a peach floating in water…make that multiple peaches.

That I want to bite… hard.

I could already feel my throat go dry at how gorgeous she was. This was Hentai, of course.

Looking away quickly with a blush, I changed the subject, "So…I get bodyguarding me as much as you can, but is it necessary to join me here?"

"Yes." I'm not surprised she replied without hesitation.

I can guess whose fault this is. "You have been hanging too much with Mother."

"Too much to learn, yet I appreciate it."

"...Boss?"

"Hmm?" I suddenly felt her place her head on my shoulder, and her left hand placed itself on my right one underwater.

A surprising move, yet not unwelcome for me.

"I…I have been feeling strange recently." She said, and I started to smell something…sweet.

"How strange, and when?" I asked, taking concern for her well-being first.

"...For a while." She said, and I began to hear her breathing. "I started to feel hot…my chest began to hurt, yet I enjoyed the warmth of it." I felt her fingers go between mine.

('Xeno. Does Imp blood rise hormones ?')

Nope!

('Just making sure.') I activate 'Observe' to see her status.

"I see. Did you go and talk to Mother?" We all know where this is going.

"...I did…and she told me to speak with you while bathing, saying you know what it might be."

I had a feeling Hikage was told to join me. That freaking woman! Why is she so desperate to get me hitch!? To my right-hand woman of all people!

Not that I'm against it, but it's annoying!

The worst part is that she might get away with it!

"Alright. I'm going to ask a few questions." I began to say as I breathed in. "Do you see lights coming out from somewhere you don't know?"

"...A bit."

"Does your heart beat rapidly at certain times?"

"...Yes."

At that, I flip my hand and hold hers, interlocking my fingers tight, with her doing the same. I began to feel my heart beat a little, but I could sense Hikage's pulse through her wrist, beating rapidly and telling me she was feeling the same.

"Does the heat make it hard to breathe for you?"

"...Yes."

"Alright. Two more questions," Taking a deep breath yet again before I asked, "Are you currently feeling like that right now?"

"...Yes."

My heart beat louder, and I started to sense something rising in me.

And it ain't the Shield Hero! Eyoo!!!

Please don't do that again.


*Technical difficulties in Dimension E4E*


…Something is rising in me. Taking a deep breath (How many breaths do I have to take? Is this normal or too much typing?)I moved Hikage to my lap, feeling no resistance as she and I locked eyes with each other. I don't know how, but her face was glowing in my eyes. "Tell me…is that happening right now, in this position as you look at me?"

"...Yes."

Nodding, I simply think I shouldn't ask questions now, and go with the flow. "Then I know what's going on…And I want you to know that I'm feeling the same thing." I'm not kidding.

The moment I saw her amber eyes…I was hooked. Her eyes sported some sort of comfort to my soul; as in I could trust her with my everything.

And I know it's cheesy to some people, but that's enough for me.

Hikage blinked at me, and I saw how her eyes looked more bright. They look more free, like something was finally released from its chain. "What is it?" Her question felt like a final straw.

"...It's love."

"...I see."

Without much more to say, I found my lips connecting with hers, followed soon by my tongue entering and touching hers.

I must say, it wasn't that bad, considering it was my first kiss.

As we enjoyed the kiss, my free hand made its way into her back, and hers went to cup my cheek, caressing it. It wasn't long before feeling my dick rising under the towel and bumping with her butt.

I can honestly say she didn't care, rather she seems to appreciate it, if her-oh wow! She shoved her tongue deep into mine so fast!

After a few minutes, we finally separated to catch our breath, her chest pressing on mine. "It was my first." I said.

"...So was mine." Hikage replied as she suddenly pushed away, her naked body standing over me and feeling my towel being removed as she stood over my erection. "May I?" She asked out?

"Only if you truly want." I said.

Now, call me cheesy or stupid all you want, but I want her to be absolutely sure of this. Not only that, but since this will be my first time, I really want her to feel good and safe.

"...I do." She answered as she grabbed my cock and positioned it over her moist sex. My tip began to rub hers for a few seconds before she began to shove it in. She groans in pain at feeling her inside stretch, while I flinch at the sudden electric sensation when feeling something hitting my tip.

"Y-You okay?" I asked in concern/pleasure as my hands shot to grab her waist, noticing the water below her turned slightly pink.

Oh, this HAS to be special now!

"J-Just a moment." She moans and breathes in and out. A few minutes later, she looks at me. "I'm ready." Nodding to her, she began to move her hips.

And oh my God! I was feeling…grand!

Hikage began to move up and down, her eyes closed and a small moan of breath began to escape her lips. It wasn't long when I planted my feet and began to go with her rhythm. Perhaps it was instinct, my right hand moved from her waist and grabbed a hold of her breast, feeling my finger just melted inside it and folded clay. Hikage's expression changed a bit, as her heavy breathing went into a rapid moan, her tongue dangling down as her bouncing increased.

"D-Damn, Hikage!" I moan in delight. "I never thought…you looked so hot before!" Her emotionless eyes shot into shock momentarily. "I am lucky to have such a beautiful girl like you!"

'Y-You are *mmph*too kind." Hikage replied.

"This isn't *mmph*kindness." I grab her hips and squeeze them, making her gasp slightly. "I'm telling the truth. You are beautiful." She looked at him, seeing his smile. "I'm glad *mmph*I found you."

It seems that she wasn't expecting me to say that because her face turned red, a first for me. With mid-close eyes and a smile, I could tell she was more than happy. "...As…do I..!"

('Finally. She smiled for once.') I'm being serious, not once have I seen her twitch her lips up, even with a smirk (no ghost smile or aura of joy are points). My thoughts came to a halt when I felt something inside me getting ready to come out. "S-Shit! I'm close!" That's the process, right?

"...As…do I…!" So she was the same.

We sped off the process, I heard wet claps from her under the water, and when I felt close, I began to pull out…only for Hikage to slam down and hug me, taking me by surprise. "H-Hikage!?"

"Is…okay…" She said to me as her passing increased. "I…want…all of it!" That sure puts me in a loop!

"H-Hold on Hikage!" I stuttered out, finding myself unable to get her out of my grip as the humping process was making me reach the limit.

"I…took…pills…!"

Part of my brain wanted to know WHY, even though I already knew the answer.

But that died when my instincts took over. Feeling like my body took over as I grabbed her tight, and the next thing I knew, my cock shivered inside her, and I felt a load bursting out…followed by another, and another. Hikage let out a gasp as her climax broke as well, her sex juice clashing with mine. She lost strength in her arms and fell on top of me, panting heavily. Her breast squished against my chest. I also felt her belly expand, taking me by slight surprise once again, was it that much?! I felt it back in customization but how big is it?!

Her heavy breathing was so close to my ear, like if she was teasing me. "You…came a lot." She said, her hand holding my back.

"Yeah…I'm even surprised." I replied through my own breathing. "So…how was your first time?"

"Wonderful." She replied quickly. "...Can we…go again?" She said that in a 'kid in a candy store' tone.

My eye twitches as my dick pulse, making her groan. "...Something tells me that we might need to move to my bedroom." Cause I'm telling you right here and now.

I am going to pound this ass!


( Next day, Cross' bedroom)


I was awoken by the rays of sunlight hitting my closed eyelids. After a few minutes, I finally open my hazy pupils as they focus. The first thing I felt was the extra weight on top of me. Moving my eyes forward, I smile at seeing Hikage's sleeping form. Last night was wild. I think we went for round five before we exhausted ourselves and fell asleep. I must have unconsciously wrapped ourselves in my blanket so that she won't get cold.

Unconscious gentleman for the win?

Even as an animal, you still care.

Oh, good morning, Xeno!

Morning, Master. Also, congratulations.

…I can level up by fucking?!

Surprise?

What bullshit version of Gaming Powers is this?! Is this how it is supposed to be?! Is this the correct way to do it!? Author! Is this correct?! Did you search and read correctly that this is how it's done?!

Of course, I do.

…Okay then! Also, that achievement! Fuck you! I can sense the smugness in it!

I will neither confirm nor deny~

"...Mhm~"

The sound of Hikage waking stopped my conversation. I simply turned my head down, seeing her eyes flutter before looking at mine, her usual neutral look. "...Morning." God, she looks like a kuudere wife.

So freaking adorable~!

"Morning to you as well," I said as I wrapped my arms over her body, "Last night…was amazing for me."

"...It was." Hikage replied before resting her head on my chest. I could feel her ear above my heart, perhaps hearing my beat. "...We had sex, right?"

"That is what it's called."

"...It felt more pleasant than the other times I saw." Other times? When did-

Ah, right. Slum girl and former Orc slave. She must have seen those things done to an unfortunate girl.

"That's because you did it by choice." I said, "I'm no expert in this either, but I believe you wanted to be loved by the one you love."

"...I see. So it's special." Seriously, what's with the Goblin Slayer attitude? Not that I mind. "...I like it." But damn, I could feel her Kuutsundere side taking over. "...Does this mean I'm now yours forever?"

…Right now, my mind is trying to understand what she means by that. Like, really hard to.

While my body and heart are jumping in warmth.

"...You know what?" She looked into my eyes, "I don't know about forever, but if I am allowed to?" I wrapped my arm around her, "I'm happy and overjoyed to make you mine."

She stared deep into my eyes after that…before moving close and kissing me on the lips.

Hikage has unlocked a new trait

[-]

Welp! If there was any doubt of her being mine before? Now it is gone! And insurance so that she doesn't go back on me?

Who's spoiling me up there?

We stood there for a minute, I was enjoying her lips a lot, before she moved away to let us breathe air. "...I would love that."

"And so would I." I said before standing up, taking her with me. "Come on, today we might have a lot of work."

She nodded before me, revealing her naked and glorious body to me. I can tell she has no shame in revealing her like that. Shaking my head, I stood up from my bed, looking down at my flaccid member, seeing a size that impressed me. ('Alright, not too shabby.') I look up-

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...Good morning, My Lord."

"HOLY FUCKING SHIT!" I couldn't help but shout as I jumped back on the other side of the bed, hitting my head as I landed awkwardly. I quickly recompose myself, feeling Hikage already at my side, knife in hand, but she seems to calm down when she sees who it was. I quickly glared at my guest.

It was a dark skinned woman, I would say she was from the savanna. Purple short hair, amber eyes like Hikage, and a purple leotard that was very revealing. Her face was covered by a purple phantom mask but I could tell; just like Hikage, she had a neutral expression and didn't show emotions.

Given Hikage's reaction, and the fact that I can see the fucking resemblance, I can tell who this was.


Name: Kuzaha

Level: 16 (Lock)

Title: Tan Assassin of Crusch

Class: Ninja/Assassin

Status: Healthy, Calm, Alert

Thoughts about you: Respect, Thankfulness

Born in what was once the Tribe of Aravat, Kuzaha has, from birth, been bred into the art of assassination. Her tribe came to an end after a rival tribe took advantage of the Garan invasion when it attacked them, disbanding the tribe and separating them all. Having not much to do, she sold her skills and body at a very young age, until an attempted assassination went out of control. She met with Cross Gallon, where she saw a hidden potential to get revenge on the tribe that stole her homeland. Swearing loyalty to his strength.


Excuse Muah? Is her level locked? And that backstory? "How long have you been there?" Focus on that later.

"Enough to know that you and Hikage are finally together." Kuzaha replied, turning to Hikage, "Congratulations."

"Thank you." Damn, most monote talk ever, and with no emotion. "He's big and satisfying."

"I see."

"Okay! This is the part when I say turn around." I replied, not liking that two girls were going to start talking about my sex life in front of me. "Kuzaha, turn around." She did as told- ('Oh wow! Her backside is so smooth!') Her back string was helping her a lot! It was making her ass cheeks bigger!

Focus!

Hikage and I quickly went to put our clothes back on (I just realized that I have boxers, thank GOD for actual underwear) and was now sitting in the bed while Hikage stood like a soldier. "Alright. Let's get to business; Kuzaha?" She turned to look at me, "First of all, I'm glad that you are safe and healthy from your trip."

"It was nothing." She replied.

"So tell me. What have you found?"

The tan assassin brought a scroll and gave it to me. I opened it and was welcomed by the glimmering light that made me cringe a bit before it diminished. Looking inside, I saw a drawing.

There seems to be some sort of door inside a cavern.

"Is this what you found?"

"Yes." Kuzaha nodded. "My drawing skills weren't good enough, so I detail the parts that were of importance."

Yeah. I can see the words and marks of each part of the door, having some sort of keyhole and runes in it. "Well, I sent you to investigate and that's what you did. You have done well enough."

[2 Reputation with Kuzaha]

[Kuzaha - 42/100]

So my reputation with her is that much currently.

"Do you wish to see it for yourself?" Kuzaha asked.

"I would. But not now." I said and I closed the scroll and put it away behind me, by that, I mean using Item Storage. "There's been a few problems around the city, and I have taken the liberty to inspect them." As began to explain to her what had happened; from the mysterious theft to the sudden appearance of a small Imp party with three Dragmar Eggs.

"...That sure is a problem." Kuzaha hummed in thought. "Given the amount of imps, it seems that we may have an upcoming attack."

"I thought the same." I nodded. "I have told this to the Guild Master. Counting him, myself, Hikage and you, only four of us know what is happening. I will be informing Mother of this as well."

"What do you wish for me, my Lord?" Wow, she didn't hesitate!

"Well, since you have offered, I will need to check around the outside of the city for any monster's camp or lead. Whatever has happened; somebody is trying to attack Crusch." I stood up, huffing my nose. "And I refuse to let them continue as such."

Kuzaha simply nodded. "Understood. Then, I shall begin immediately-" Before she could speak, I found myself already holding her shoulder, which left me very surprised. "My lord?"

"...You will accompany me to enjoy breakfast." I said, making her blink. "This is NOT for discussion."

"...Understood."

With a nod, I turned to Hikage, who also nodded and went behind Kuzaha, and began to push her. "Come along, Big Sis." She said as they started to leave, myself right behind her, a small smile in my face at the sight of two unrelated 'sisters' having some bond.

"So, how many times did you both do it?"

"I think we reach five."

"No talking about sex life!"


"Kuzaha! Sweetie!"

*Squish!*

I cringed when I saw Tamanna just 'hug' Kuzaha when we entered the dining hall. She saw her and immediately materialized in front of her. "It's been so long! Where were you?"

"...Doing…something…Ma'am" I'm amazed that she replied without needing air.

"You too!?" Tamanna stops her hug and drops her, before glaring hard. "How many times do I have to tell you and Hikage?! Call me 'Mother'!" Man! She's going at it again!

"...Forgive me, Lady Tamanna, but I-"

*Intensified Glared*

Let it be known that Hikage and I had booked to the side of the hall when that big, titty milf went feral.

Props to Kuzaha for standing her ground. "...I can't just call you that-"

*Intensified Glare Level 2*

"...I'm simply your son's guard and-"

*Intensified Glared Level 3*

"...Forgive me, Mother." Ah, so she finally succumbed to her glare.

Instantly, Tamanna stops her glares and reverts back to happy mother. "You're forgiven, my child. I'm happy that you decided to join us for breakfast. Please, take a chair and sit." She motioned to the chair on the right to where I would sit. "Safina should be joining us soon, and breakfast is almost ready."

As she explained as I noticed something, "Hey. Where's Maria? Shouldn't she be here?"

The moment I asked, my mother chuckled…in a very concerning way to me. "Maria is currently doing something for me. Whatever the case, she has left Evelyn in charge." She said that…but I noticed the blush mark in her cheeks.

I'm scared to use 'Observe' right now.

"...Hmm?" She suddenly perked up and for some reason, began to sniff the air. "Hmm? What is this smell?" She began to move around.

"Mom, are you a dog or something?" I couldn't help but ask, seeing her move like an actual dog.

"Sorry, it's just…it smells familiar." She replied as she got closer…to me. "And it's…coming from you and…GASP!" She suddenly gasped, "Could it be…? Did you both have sex?!"

I couldn't help but blush. I had a feeling this would happen.

"Yes." To my rising embarrassment, Hikage replied. "Me and Boss had sex yesterday. I'm now his."

This is going to hurt me, ain't it?

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Ear shattering. Next thing, my body was brought into a massive hug, full of bouncy pleasure and painful crushing. I could also sense Hikage trap the same. "I knew it! I'm so happy for you both!" Tamanna was overjoyed as she twirled us around. "It finally happened! Oh, you both finally confessed! Today is a grand day!"

Maybe it is, but for me? This might be my final day! " Mom…! You're…crushing…!" I squeaked out as much as I could, while trying to understand how Hikage was unaffected by this.

"Oops! Sorry!" She let us go, in which I began to swallow air. "But I'm soooo Happy for you both! I always knew the two of you would be perfect! Mother's intuition has never been wrong with me!" She quickly grabbed Hikage's hands and clapped them together with hers, her eyes glowing in expectation and blushing hard. "Tell me everything! How was it-"

*Twomph!*

"Lady Tamanna, please have some self control."

I felt my eyes just pop out as, out of nowhere, Maria appeared and had hit my mother with a frying pan. My milf mother was on the floor, a large and comical bump on her forehead, but my current concern was on the maid. "Good morning, Maria. Mother said you would be unavailable?"

"Morning to you as well, Lord Cross." She greeted me with a wise motherly smile. "As you can see, I'm here and ready to serve. I don't know what Lady Tamanna has said to you, but I'm-"

"M-a-r-i-a~"

I felt saliva just fall from my throat as Tamanna had recovered and stood right behind her maid, who simply was unaffected. "I believe I have informed you about not embarrassing me in front of my children?"

The blonde maid simply turned around to look at her. "I do…But breakfast is coming, and I believe your children deserve to start their day with a full stomach and no explicit details of personal life on their minds first thing in the morning."

"Oh, I do know that." Tamanna walked up to her, getting close to her as her breasts squished with each other, making me swallow hard( I think Maria is at least an I-Cup) "But I still don't like your way of fixing it."

"Madam, if you don't like it, then it's working." Damn!

"What's this rebellious attitude?"

"It is simply helping my owner to maintain dignity."

"And I just want to be part of my child's life."

"Then please, take it to an undisclosed room."

I sure don't know what the heck was happening, but both mature women were sending sparks through their eyes, so much that Hikage and Kuzaha had to hide behind me.

So much for being my bodyguards, yet I can't blame them for it.

*Door opening*

"Good mor-...What the heck did I walk up to?" Behold! Safina had entered the room and was welcomed with the dread match.

"You don't want to know." Was my reply.


After everything calmed down, if that could even be called one, Evelyn and a few maids brought breakfast to our table. Once done, I decided to go to the training ground to train a bit to verify a few things.

Of course, both Hikage and Kuzaha were with me. I quickly motioned that I needed some space, and they both vanished in my shadow (Really?! Kuzaha had Shadow Step too! So jealous!)

('Alright. Let me test that new magic I acquired.') I brought my stats out and began to tap the magic section.

[-]

Fireball - 1/100 (0%)

Levitation - 1/100 (0%)

Thunderbolt - 1/100 (0%)

[-]

Okay…So given what I'm seeing, it seems that I can level up my power to a hundred. Xeno? If you can tell me, if I were to reach the maximum level, how strong would it be?

Consider yourself a Possible Nuclear Bomb at 50%

Hm! So this is going to be fun…but consider my [50% Hentai Logic] I guess that I can't grind myself to level up?

Hehehehe~

…I'm not sure about that response, but I guess it is both a 'yes' and a 'no'.

Fuck.

And I can't just always go through the Adventure Guild-

…Or maybe I can!

But that's for later, for now, my current spells. I began to play a little with them. Thanks to spending time with Safina and Tamanna, I knew that this kind of magic requires imagination, so I did. To my fortunate pleasure, I have a lot of references to imagine. But for now, I'll be taking baby steps. After all, if you can travel through time, one needs to start with seconds before getting to minutes.

I summoned Fireball and a small ball of fire was in my palm, like a certain plumber does. My inner boy was squealing in delight at being able to do magic. Focusing, I molded a bit before turning to a training dummy(magic resistance) and threw it. The fireball spun in the air before hitting the dummy, combusting a little before dispersing and leaving a bit of snoot on the dummy. ('Okay. It's not that bad currently.') I thought before moving to Thunderbolt, a small lighting danced through my hand. I played a bit with it, it followed my hand's rhythm in a zig zag before trying to shoot it. It…didn't end well as the lighting was off balance and hit around the dummy a few times, or even missed the target. Even with trying a gun-point form with my hand, I discovered that my control over it wasn't great.

Of course, I try other methods like spear throwing or baseball throw. Unlike Fireball, which is a simple condensed element that spreads (Is that right? I'm not good at science) Thunderbolt is a free form that is supposed to be released as fast as it was formed. At least this version.

Why do you think dodging lighting is an impressive feat?

('Seems that I must truly consider having Sorcerers offer.') Her mastery of magic will be beneficial for me.

So for now, I shall make use of what I can do, which is very good for me as I make orange fire in my right hand and blue lighting in my left.

If you know Nintendo's famous duo, you know what I'm planning to do.

Huh, look at that! Thanks Xeno!

;)

…How did…You know what? Move along.

Now, Levitation was where I spent more time focusing. By focusing my magic, I could lift up a rock from the ground and float for about ten seconds before it stopped. I tried several things to float up, but it was there that I realized that I began to feel tired. I quickly looked at my stats and found out that my MP had gone to 65. That seems to be the calling for me to call in a break.

I was sitting down when I felt a towel landing on my head. Looking up, I saw Safina, dressed in casual clothing. "Overtaxed yourself already?"

"A bit." I replied as I thanked her for the towel and cleaned my sweat. "Seems I was too focused on trying."

"It happens a lot, so I don't blame you." Safina replied, "...So…you and Hikage had…s-sex?"

I stopped and looked at her, seeing her face get a bit red and awkward. "...I did." I said, finding myself more curious as to why she asked. "Things were said and before I knew it, we kind of…did it."

"I-I see…C-Congratulations on it!"

"...First of all, thank you." I said as I stood up. "Second, why the sudden question of it? This better not be because Mom wanted you to ask for details."

She blushed. "Of course not! She knows very well not to bring that into the table while we eat!" She fiddled a bit, "I just…was curious about how it was…"

Her question made me use an Observer. I noticed her status had changed.

[-]

Status: Healthy, Happy, Sad, Worried, Scared, Jealous

[-]

Four negative(?) emotions? I'm surprised she could hide them behind her expression. "Why? Do you want some suggestions?" I decided to investigate this and smile teasingly at her. "Does my baby sister have a crush on someone?"

Her face went red. "W-W-What?! W-Who has a crush on anyone!? When did I say that?! I-Is not like that!"

"Do I know him?"

"No you don't know him!"

"...So there is someone."

"...!" Is cute when she realized she confessed and covered her mouth, turned red even more.

"Listen, Safina." I went to her and placed my hand on her shoulders, "I'm not going to say anything, because this thing of love? I know nothing." I mean, I can tell who is in love and all, but you get the point. "This is a first for me, but I can say this. If you do like someone, whether they are the same or not, you should go slow." She looked at me, her red face turning down. "Try to get to know them bit by bit and then, approach their preferences."

"...So…know what they like?"

"It's an option. But like I said, I'm not that knowledgeable about love." She proceeded to think about what I said. "...So…Do I know him?"

"It's not about you knowing him, is-GUH?!" She was speaking before realization hit her. "...I hate you." Oh no. She's mad.

"If it means that I know my sister actually has interest in love, then I'll take it." I replied before bringing her a hug, "I just want you to be sure and happy about it."

She grumbled a little, totally embarrassed about my teasing, but she mellowed down in my hug. "...Just…don't say anything…please."

"And get our Mother sniffed around like she did with me? I'm not that cruel."

[3 Reputation with Safina]

[Safina - 59/100]

"Thank you." Safina thanked me…before pushing herself away, having her nose wiggle in disgust. "Ugh! I forgot you were sweaty! Now I'm covered in sweat!"

"Heh. What? Can't handle a bit of water?"

"Smelly water! Ugh."

"Here." I gave her my towel which she took.

"Thanks." She said before cleaning her face…and immediately throwing it away. "Ew! This thing is sweaty too, why would you give me that?!"

"Hahahahahahaha!"

"CROOOOOOOOOOOOOS!"

Now comes my next training mode; the most important lesson taught by the famous green alien from the legendary manga of Japan.

DODGE!


(Later)


"Evelyn, calm down."

"B-B-But you're hurt! I-I need to clean the wounds-"

"Sweetheart, you are trembling."

My dark elf maid flinched at my statement, which was correct as her entire body shook as she began to patch my training wounds. Safina was not merciful to me with her superior level of magic prowess.

Yes, I did say that. No, I'm not being dramatic.

Unlike me, and I have informed you all before, her magic is much more well-rounded than me, her spells were powerful, given that I barely could even dodge her Thunderbolt and Fireballs, who were ten times much bigger than mine. I mean, mine is a bloody palm size, what do you expect?

Anyways, after surviving what I believe was exactly 40 minutes, Safina ran out of magic juice and I fell down in tiredness, covered in burnt marks and electric arcs. My HP went down a little, proving that she was holding back. She then proceeded to pout hard and walk away, stating that she wasn't speaking to me all day.

Do you smell what the Tsundere is cooking?

Cause I don't!

Either way, it wasn't until she was gone that my bodyguards came out from the shadows and dragged me to the medical bay of the house, where Evelyn is currently stationed right now.

The poor dark elf was in horror when she saw me. So she began to heal me up with her medical knowledge and her magic.

"Just take a deep breath-ow!" I was trying to calm her but the sting began to act on my body, which made her panic even more. "Hey, breathe!" I reminded her again, "Panicking won't help you in anything. Maintain calm, take three deep breaths and exhale them." She did as instructed, placing her hands on her chest and began to calm down in each breath. "Good…Now, continue." She nodded and resumed her treatment.

A minute later, I was healed up completely. No more pain in my body. "Nice. Very well done, Evelyn. " I said.

"T-Thank you!" She blushed. "E-Even if it's not that great, I can still heal you at best!" Right, her bit of self-loathing.

"Come on now. Don't say that." I quickly patted her head. "You have elf's magic and blood in you. Your magic and healing capabilities are big. Have some pride in them." She blushed and nodded. "So tell me, how have your days been so far?" I want to indulge a bit in her activity.

Sure, I won't get anything ' relationship' related to her until I get her a present, but I don't care. I genuinely want to know more about her.

"W-Well! It's been great!" She said, flushing and eagerly speaking. Her daily life is very hectic; from being a maid to both Safina and I, maintaining the household clean, and being in the medical bay as she was one of their healing apprentices. Despite the current view of Dark Elves in Eostia, nobody has a problem with her being here-

And if someone has, well, they will have to face the wrath of the entire household.

Along with becoming my newest guinea pig for my upcoming magic lessons.

In short, she has been having a good and wealthy life right now. Learning from Maria and Tammana was surely rewarding on its own.

"I'm still struggling with my earth magic, I just can't picture enough images for it." She sighs in sadness.

"Really? Have you tried small steps? Like maybe making a rock?"

"I have! It's just that it doesn't stay for long."

"Show me."

She looked at me in surprise, not expecting my response. "M-Master-"

"Don't worry about me. Just try to make it half the size of your palm." I told her.

"...O-Okay." Evelyn took a deep breath and brought her hands close, a green aura forming on her palms as a formation of a rock. As I said, she made it till it was close to her palm size…before it suddenly shot forward to-

"SpongebobSquarepants!" I shouted as I threw myself to the side as the attack flew close to my cheek and punctured into the wall. Staring at it for a solid minute, I turned to the dark elf, who was on the verge of crying out of horror.

"I-I'm sorry-"

"That was amazing!" I quickly said as I grabbed her hand and could see her getting more confused. "That speed was strong! We need to adjust the trajectory a bit, but that's for later." I said before moving to another thing. "But I think I can see what the problem is." I quickly move behind her, still holding her hand. I pressed her back with my body.

I can tell she was blushing hard.

"Do it again, but this time, focus on making the rock." She did as instructed and began to form the rock, "Good, now imagine the rock standing still on a hill." She hummed and did as said, the rock forming on her hands and standing ready. "Good…"

Evelyn opened her eyes and saw the rock completely formed. I could tell she was surprised by it. I let go of her arms and-

*Crash!*

"As I thought." I said seeing the rock had vanished. "Tell me, do you have trouble with most of the spells?" Evelyn looked at me and nodded. "Alright, I think I can fix this easily, but I need some time to prepare. Is that alright with you?"

"P-Please, Master! Don't worry about me! Take the time you need!" She replied, and I felt a twitch when she said in that panic tone.

"Very well." ('Xeno? Is there anyway I can make an item with some sort of magic?')

Some items to infuse with magic? It would seem that you must really consider that offer from the High Elf.

Insinuating I can get what I need from Sorcerers, eh? Fine.

"Boss/My Lord."

I sense both Hikage and Kuzaha come out of my shadow, making Evelyn yelp in surprise at their appearance as she hides behind me. "Girls?"

"It's almost time to meet with the Sorcerers." Ah, it's almost noon then. Quite the fast forward day.

I turned to Evelyn, grabbed her head and kissed her forehead, making her turn crimson. I thank her for healing and promise her to fix her magic problem soon. She nodded rapidly and quickly excused herself.

Again, it wasn't going to rise more, but I can tell the points raised with her.

Turning my head, I was going to tell them to wait outside, and I raised an eyebrow when I felt Hikage and Kuzaha staring at me. "What?"

"Nothing." They both replied. Suspicious, eh?

Yeah, fuck that. I can tell they're both jealous.

"What? You two want a kiss too?" I teased them.

Hikage immediately appeared in front of me, looking at my eyes with expectation.

Chuckling, I kissed her forehead, and saw no change in her look…so I moved to her lips, and she reacted like a dog wagging its tail.

Or rather a snake wagging its tail.

Hikage moves away, a flourish aura of joy coming out, as Kuzaha walks up to me, also having expectations in her eyes. So I kissed her forehead, and she hummed in delight before moving back.

[2 Reputation with Kuzaha]

[Kuzaha - 44/100]

Only two? Should I have gone for the lips too?

Before I could do anything, they both vanished through the shadows. Probably to wait for me at the gate.

Sighing at my missed chance, I quickly went back to my room and got a fresh pair of clothing, put on and met up with both girls at the entrance, the station guards there greeting me as we left. "Let's hope we get some information today."
