Chapter 175 – Enchantment and the Love Potion

“I’m glad I didn’t buy a house in Joensuu.”
“Yes? What about the house?”
“Monsters are swarming underground, and of course house prices will drop. Wouldn’t there be citizens who know that there is a labyrinth and move out? I also suddenly want to open a Joensu with my lovers.”
“Gee, calm down, Mr. Luke.”

As soon as I heard about the labyrinth, I felt uneasy.
Wouldn’t it be the fucking Ratmen who live in the underground canal? It is said that vicious monsters roam under the ground, but suddenly the desire to live in this neighborhood falls apart.

‘I’m so glad I didn’t buy a house!’

As a house-poor living in an inn, I could easily leave.
Leaving the city would be more comfortable than living in the same horizontal coordinates as the monsters. I was seriously considering moving.

Where do you go when you leave Joensuu?
Shall we move to the nearest trading city?

Bella held my hand as she put her brain to full force to plan the move alone.

“You can’t leave. Don’t you know that a crisis is an opportunity? If you’re an adventurer, when you hear the word labyrinth, it’s natural to be interested in it. It’s a mysterious labyrinth that was suddenly discovered one day. You’ll get stronger by defeating the infested monsters. Adventure There is also the romance of discovering an ancient artifact at the end. The labyrinth will be useful to the adventurer Luke!”

Suddenly, Bella’s words accelerated like her own rapid-fire cannon.
It was almost like rapping, but I didn’t get over it easily.

“Bella-sister. You said that monsters live in the underground labyrinth. They might come up to the surface one day and eat the citizens. I don’t want to be eaten. I’m going to move to another city.”
“Yes-. Don’t go. Our guild will perish without you.”

In an instant, Bella’s eyes turned sad and squeezed my hand tightly.
The sight of the older sister holding my hand and earnestly asking for it was quite heartbreaking, so she was less inclined to leave.

‘It’s a relief that Bugilma isn’t a man.’

If the one holding my hand now was a furry old man, I would have left the city right away. It was a two-year bond, and it must have jumped out without mercy.
After hearing more from Bella, it occurred to me that she would be fine with remaining in Yoensuu.

“You don’t have to worry too much. The underground labyrinth isn’t handled by our adventurer’s guild alone. The lord decided to send a subjugation party, and the Mage Tower decided to take the front line. Wizards belonging to the Mage Tower descend directly to subdue the monsters. .”

Bella put an emphasis on the word magic tower.
Just hearing the magic tower in my ear calmed my mind and body and made me feel better. There are few cases that cannot be resolved if the Magic Tower intervenes.
Although it is an elitist organization, one thing is certain.

“If you’re sending someone from the Magic Tower, I can trust you. You can stay in Yoensu.”
“Huh-. You barely prevented the guild from going to ruin. Anyway, you can’t lose Mr. Luke. You can never lose.”

Bella let out a sigh of her relief and released her hand from her grip on me. She then pulled out a page of her pamphlet from under the fur coat she was wearing. It was a catalog with a list of various items.

“I have more to tell you about the Mage Tower. The Mage Tower issued a large number of quests to our Galarhorn. It is a quest asking adventurers to explore the labyrinth.”
“Did you mean to order a quest from that side? Are you trying to borrow the hands of adventurers?”
“Yes-. The Magic Tower says they want to clear the underground labyrinth to the lowest level in a short amount of time. So I bet a magic tool as a quest reward. It’s a magic tool given to adventurers who have succeeded in exploration. The list of magic tools in the catalog is It’s there, take a look.”

An underground labyrinth exploration quest requested by the Mage Tower.
What Bella was holding was a catalog with a list of magic tools to be given as compensation. Her lovers and I took the catalog from Bella and went through it quickly.

1. Flame Dagger
2. Boots of Acceleration
3. Gauntlets that fire lightning
4. Shoulder guard with magic resistance
5. Rare metal armor that absorbs physical shock

After reading it carefully, a total of 50 magic tools were prepared as a reward. They were all magic tools that would be useful for adventurers. However, after taking a closer look, we were perplexed as we read the last 50th magic tool.

50. Love Potion

A strange magic tool that had nothing to do with the adventurer’s work came out. A love potion? How are you supposed to beat the monster with this?

We calmly turned the pages to see what the love potion was.

– The love potion is a potion that makes the user attractive for a day. As soon as you take it, even monsters can become attractive enough to bewitched you. If you like someone of the opposite sex, we recommend taking a love potion before approaching them. The energy of the potion will make the target fall in love 100%.

It is a potion that makes the user attractive. It was so terrifying that even a monster fell in love with it, so I got goosebumps.

Didn’t you just use it while hunting and get attacked by monsters?
Is there anything wrong with being cheated on by a female monster?

‘The potion only lasts for one day.’

The effect is optimized to fill the ideal sexual desire. Among the monsters, I want to go to the harpy’s nest, which can be said to be [Possible], And drink the potion.
Still, choosing a love potion would be foolish.
It’s not wearable equipment, it’s a consumable potion.

“Love potion… This must be useless. I think it’s better to choose a wearable gear as a reward. Aren’t you guys just like me?”

When I asked Rebecca and Kate, I knew the answer would of course be “Yes.” However, somehow the atmosphere between the two was unusual.

“Didn’t I say that if you drink the potion, Luke… Will be possessed by you?”
“Yes sister. I think I can monopolize Mongma-sama for a day. I will be able to control Hmongma-sama’s love.”

Rebecca’s and Kate’s gazes collided in the air with me between them.
Of course, there was no option for them to give up the love potion.
Suddenly, Kate looked at my horns and murmured as if possessed.

“I can control the emotions of the dreamer…”
“What?”
“With a potion! I can dominate-!!”

Kate suddenly jumped up and let out her cheers.
The look on her face as she looked at me was tinged with domination madness.
I feel a strong will to occupy the seat next to me for a day.

“Rebecca’s era is over, and now it’s my turn! I’ll push through the power of the potion and enchant the dreamer for a day! I’m the master of this district.”
“Ha… This blonde bitch wants to see you.
“If you’re anxious, does your sister pick out a love potion too? Let’s drink potions and have a proper charm match! Call your body’s conversation?”
“Call-.”

It’s not even that the compensation payment has been confirmed.
These women are already drinking kimchi soup.

The stock of the love potion is plentiful, but there are clues to getting paid.
It is a condition that you must achieve excellent results in the underground labyrinth exploration quest.
Defeat 100 or more monsters, or discover the entrance to the lower floors.

I returned the finished catalog to Bella.

“Bella sister. How much is the basic quest fee?”
“If you participate in the exploration, the advance payment you receive is 20 silver, and you can receive additional money depending on your performance. The additional money will be paid up to 50 silver. The difficulty of the quest can be said to be C-class.”

[Underground Labyrinth Exploration Quest]
Grade: C
Description: Explore the underground labyrinth of Yoensu to the lowest level.
Reward: Up to 70 silver, C-class guild achievements, and other magic tools that are paid for excellent performance

After hearing Bella’s words, I organized the outline of the quest.
It’s not too bad when it comes to compensation. Still, it might be necessary to check the danger level of the underground labyrinth yourself.

“I’ll go to the guild tomorrow and accept the quest. Starting tomorrow, can we explore the underground labyrinth by ourselves?”
“It doesn’t matter when you come. It’s a quest that will take place for quite some time. It’s a labyrinth that you have to explore for at least a month.”

When the conversation was over, I thanked Bella.
He expressed his gratitude for introducing information about the alchemist who created the mutation and the quest.
But when the conversation was over, Bella refused to get up from her seat.
She just opens the catalog and reads it in silence.

Bella stared at the final chapter in which her love potion was introduced.

“Sister Bella? She must be busy. Shouldn’t she go back to the guild?”
“It’s okay. I finished all my work for today and left work. If it’s okay with you, Luke, you can sleep here. I want to embrace the morning sun in my brother’s arms.”
“It’s snowing…”

Bella’s words that she wanted to stay out came in without even blinking.
It’s a voice whispering secretly as my lovers back away and bicker.

“Anyone who has a fiance buys it after that.”
“Is she thinking of having an affair with her sister?”
“Oh my gosh…”

She made a point, but rather listened to her hit her back and her head was spinning.
She is a sister who can’t really catch where she will jump.

Bella read her catalog for a while before opening her mouth again.

“I want to have a love potion.”
“Yes? Why does your sister need it?”
“I want to have an accident with the man I like.”

Bella looked at me as she let off her seductive smile. Her heart pounded for the moment, but it shouldn’t be hooked. Here she says that the man Bella likes is her fiancé.

A fiancé whose surname is Mr. Fawn.

Couldn’t she have a fiancé?
I wonder if she would have been so bad that she would have yelled at the adventurers.

“I’ll have to ask the adventurers I know to get the love potion. It’ll be helpful for dating. I don’t want to be single this winter. I want to make a boyfriend and spend it warmly.”
“Aren’t you already solo?”
“Well-.”

Bella shrugged her shoulders and stood up. After she left a comment that dinner she had eaten well, she called Bella and she immediately left her room.
Behind me, Rebecca and Kate were still sparring.

“It’s funny and selfish! Even if you drink the potion, it won’t work for me!”
“Rebecca has been in power for too long! You dictator sister-! Let’s suck the potion and play fair!”

The two lovers wrestled as if conversation was not enough. Rebecca is putting a headlock on Kate right now. In an instant, my room turned into a stadium.

“Both stop wrestling!!”

As I stopped them, I thought about the adventurer Bella would hire. They will definitely hire an adventurer competent enough to obtain magic tools.
She might be a competitor.

‘I’ll have to find out who was hired by the guild tomorrow.’

If a gold tier adventurer suddenly pops up, you’ll be cursed at.
If you monopolize the results of the exploration, not only me but also the lovers will be very angry.

I can’t help but hope that Bella will keep the line.
