Chapter 42 – The Incubus Visits the Church #6

All the way back to the inn room, I couldn’t help but be immersed in complicated thoughts.
You’re going to show me the scenery of the first night of your honeymoon after getting closer?
Doesn’t that mean you’re going to give me a virgin?

The only thing a man and a woman do on their first night of marriage is fiery sex.
If you don’t intend to have a dance battle all night long, you must mean the main room where the insertion takes place.

“If we get close, will you give me a virgin? How much more friendly do we have to be?”

Until now, actual penetration between me and Rebecca had been taboo.
I’ve never been directly told that it can’t be done, but it’s something you can tell just by looking at it.
Because whenever Rebecca looked at my big cock, she had a terrified look on her face. If she thought of a huge stick going into her own tiny crack, everyone would be afraid of her.
Because I also saw her big cock, which rose with an erection in the morning every night, and her breasts became magnificent.

But Rebecca said she could give her a virgin if they got to know her better.
I had no choice but to worry a lot about the degree of closeness.
How can I get to know Rebecca?
Can I give you a lot of favorite gifts?
I don’t have money…

It is difficult for a bronze adventurer to win the favor of a woman.
If he had the money, he would have had enough left over to quit his adventurer job.
I had no choice but to think of other ways than buying favors with money.

“I’m learning how to get close to a red-haired girl…”

I went home lost in thought.
I thought about it for a while when I got home, but I couldn’t come up with a sharp way.
In the first place, being friendly with people didn’t mean being forced to use tricks.
Isn’t it just a friendship that happens naturally when the code is right? Rather, it is a law that you may make mistakes without being conscious.
It might make the atmosphere chilly by blowing unreasonable gags.

“It’s difficult…”

Besides, thinking about it, I don’t know if what Rebecca said was really lewd.
Could it really be that there might be a few dance moves left behind?
I think I’ll be really sad when I end up just watching the dance after getting to know him by flattering him hard at best.
Of course, Rebecca’s belly dancing was fantastic, but the sex was even more fantastic.

“Sex-.”

What was that girl thinking when she said that?
It’s also difficult to go to Rebecca to ask a question out of curiosity.

– Luke? Why are you back
– I have a question for you. Do you want to play yas with me?
– Hey you crazy bastard.

Because it was certain that I would just eat a bunch of swear words and walk away.
I had no choice but to pass the time by just lying on the bed in the inn room, taking a long nap, and practicing magic.
So I spent a few days locking myself in my room.

Then one morning, while I was packing up, I found a bunch of feathers stuck in my backpack.

“Owlbear’s Feather…”

It was an Owl Bear feather harvested in the last escort quest. A bundle of feathers worth 12 coppers in total. I decided to go out and dispose of the feathers, as the feathers might get damaged if I left them there.

Joensu’s general store.
Among them, I knew a conscientious store that paid for things properly. A place run by the bald owner Geese. It was Rebecca and the shop that guided her when she first beat her quest.
After putting the bundle of feathers in my backpack, I left for the general store.

“Welcome.”
“Hello, Regis.”

When I opened the door and went inside, the bald owner looked at me and pretended to know me.

“Your regular incubus. Did you come here because you have something to sell?”

Geese waved his hand as if he was happy to see my horn. As an adventurer, the reason I visit the general store is that it has something to sell. Geese’s gaze naturally turned to the backpack hanging on my back.

“It’s an Owl Bear feather. How much can I get for this amount?”

I took a bundle of feathers from my backpack and handed them to Geith.

“For this amount… I’ll pay for it at 12 coppers. You won’t get a higher price than this even if you go to another store.”

It came out just the right amount I was thinking of. The feathers had been left in the backpack for several days, but the quality did not appear to be significantly compromised. I handed over the bundle of feathers and got 12 coppers from Gis.
The good part about this store is that transactions are done quickly.
If it was another merchant, he would have waged a war of nerves trying to somehow lower the price.

“That’s 12 Cooper.”
“Come again next time. Anything worthwhile is always welcome.”

It was the moment when I counted all the coins and looked ahead again.
I was looking at the cashier to see if there was something to buy, but I couldn’t help but feel suspicious. It was because I found an empty space on the wall behind the checkout counter where things were hanging. Of course, it wouldn’t be strange if there was an empty space, but I was a regular at this store. When the things I always saw disappeared, I had no choice but to pay attention.

There must have been a large shield there.
A tower shield large enough to cover your body.

It was a product that Geese regarded as a nuisance because it hadn’t sold for several months.

It was expensive, 5 silver, so no one thought to buy it. If you’re going to buy that kind of expensive equipment, it would be wiser to pick it up at the smithy.

“Geese, did you sell that shield over there?”
“Ah, you mean Tower Shield? It was sold to a customer by luck yesterday.

Brown stopped talking and looked at me.

“I have to say thank you.”
“Why?”
“The customer who bought the tower shield. It was the red-haired girl you brought the other day. She’s a cute-looking girl, so I still remember her.”
“Rebecca bought it? She got that shield…?”
“Is that lady’s name Rebecca? Anyway, she came to my shop and looked around, and she seemed to like the tower shield quite a bit. I paid a lump sum of five silver out of my pocket. Yes. She was quite a stout lady.”

You paid 5 silver as a lump sum?
I regretted not introducing Rebecca to her smithy beforehand.
For 5 silver, you might be able to get a better shield at the blacksmith for the same price.
However, this did not mean that the general store’s tower shield was bad at all.
The area of ​​​​the shield is wide, so it should be able to block enough arrows.
Brown said with a smile.

“All adventurers should imitate that lady. It’s great to see them investing a lot of money to improve their specs. You can’t escape bronze if you play with low-quality equipment forever. Didn’t you also spend some money to match your equipment? He carries a decent crossbow.”
“She got it from someone who knew it.”
“Well?”

Actually, the crossbow was not something I bought with money.
It was a gift from Wendy while working as an adventurer.
The receptionist in charge must have felt sorry for me hunting alone, so one day she presented me with a crossbow that had been rolling around the house.
If you think about it carefully, I was beaten by Wendy that day.

“Still, wouldn’t there be equipment that was customized by spending money?”
“If I had to say it, leather armor is everything.”

2 silver leather armor.
It is also the purchase of second-hand goods that others have used.
So far, I’ve been stingy with new gear, thinking I’ll never get out of bronze.
It was because I thought it would be difficult to succeed in the adventurer business as an incubus anyway. Now that I’ve mastered magic, things have changed.
Brown looked at me with an expression of surprise.

“I wasn’t a friend who was passionate about adventurers. But to be promoted to silver, you have to pay attention to people’s reputation. Adventurers who haven’t invested in spec-up for over a year are bound to get misunderstood. Have you never heard of?”
“What do you mean?”
“Bread Eater-.”
“…Huh.”

Bread Eater!
That’s something I’ve heard before.
In the adventurer industry, adventurers who have given up on spec-up are called such derogatory terms.
Instead of fitting the equipment, it means to buy bread with that money.
Of course, adventurers are their livelihood, so everyone buys bread and eats it, but the bread eaters were so bad at it.

“If you’re an adventurer too, you’ll be able to form a fixed party someday. If there’s a bread eater, the fixed party won’t work properly. It’s like playing and eating alone when all the party members are upgrading their specs. Do you understand what I mean?
“I know… Of course.”

I knew that in the adventurer industry, breadwinners were the main culprits in the collapse of fixed parties.
From lightly not matching equipment, to worse, bugs who don’t even use consumables properly.
Breadworms with poor equipment are always the first to retire in battle.
It is national rule that such battles continue several more times before finally holding a meeting in a heavy atmosphere among the party members.
What happens at the end of a meeting is one of two things.

A fixed party is disbanded.
Or the bread eater being banished.

I couldn’t help but tremble with fear at Brown’s words.
What if people treat me like a bread eater?
Besides, above all, I already have a fixed party.
Rebecca deserves a spin on me for not spending money on equipment. Because she bought a 5-silver tower shield as a lump sum.

‘The money that Rebecca has earned from quests so far must be 8 silver? So you’re saying she invested more than half of her earnings in equipment? She’s a crazy bitch.’

I couldn’t help but feel tremendous fear at Rebecca’s sudden rash.
Can you afford to pay for living expenses with the remaining money?
It’s been a really rough year.

Suddenly, I had this thought.
When they meet again, Rebecca will surely try to show off her shield.
Then, suddenly, he looked at me and thought he could say something like this.

– Luke, you haven’t changed anything.
– Me, I’m thinking about fitting the equipment too.
– Aren’t you just thinking and not guessing? Could it be that you bought all the bread with your reward money?

“Whoaaaaa!”

Just imagining it gave her goose bumps all over her body.
I don’t know how to know the adventurer’s slang of bread on the subject of a newbie, but I could have said something similar.
If I heard such words, my pride would be ruined and I would not be able to raise my head.
His name is the leader of the fixed party, but he can’t fall behind the newbies.

“M-That’s right, Mr. Geese.”
“I’m glad you seem to understand it well. If you’re willing to upgrade as an adventurer, pay attention to your spec up.”
“Thanks for the advice. Of course there’s nothing worth buying at this store.”
“It’s not cheap…”

Maybe you’re just looking for an opportunity and touting things.
I said goodbye to Geese and quickly left the store.
While walking around the city for a while, I thought about the spec up.
Rebecca hit the groundbreaking first, so I had to at least gesture that I was spec-up.
Because that’s the unspoken rule of fixed parties.
Shall I get a new piece of equipment?
I made quite a bit of money, so I bought a pair of pauldrons and matched them?

The quickest shortcut is for me to get my new equipment fitted.
If you buy a decent pauldron and show it subtly, you can at least take care of your conscience.
But if you think about it carefully, there was a way for me to raise my specs besides fitting my equipment.

‘Am I a wizard? Wouldn’t it be much better to just learn a new spell? Anyway, even if I put on the protective gear, it’s a role to support from the rear.’

If you use your equipment, one day it will become useless and you will have to throw it away.
You may be able to fit better quality equipment, or it may simply be damaged and need to be replaced.
However, if it was magic, at least there was nothing to throw away.
Magic, once mastered, can be used forever.
Besides, it was more to my taste to learn magic rather than just matching equipment.

‘I’d rather learn magic.’

After much thought, I decided to learn magic.
Of course, this does not mean that you will learn magic through the books you have read.
It’s strange, but the new magic hasn’t been updated on the back of the book yet.
Even after returning from the quest, the attendant was still in the same pose.
I had to use a different method to learn new magic now.

I was just curious about how other wizards learn magic anyway.
There were few places in Yoensu where one could learn magic besides the Mage Tower.

It is a magic shop run by wandering wizards.
According to rumors, it seemed that a magic book could be obtained there. A place that sells general magic books unlike books. Perhaps the magic books purchased with money might teach magic more easily than books.

‘There was a magic shop near the entrance to the underground waterway, right? Maybe that’s right.’

I remembered Yoensu’s magic shop.
Having lived in Yoensuu for two years, I naturally have no choice but to know the location. When I was a newbie, I often took on quests to clean underground waterways, and I saw a signboard of a magic shop while walking in and out of the waterways.
Of course, I didn’t think to go in because the atmosphere was gloomy.

Write, newbie year.
You didn’t talk to me and set up your equipment.
Can’t you ask for some light advice from the party leader?
Be saddened

I clicked my tongue and walked toward the underground aqueduct where the magic shop was located. If possible, I wanted to learn more valuable magic than Tower Shield at the Magic Shop.
That way, I’d rather be able to turn Rebecca around.
The true taste of a fixed party was to roll around the party members before leaving the quest.
She wanted to make Rebecca feel ashamed of her, as she had fitted her gear at best.

“Be prepared, newbie bitch.”

It would be nice if there was a fire-making magic.
Since you’re a wizard, it’s time to light a fire.
