Having decided to hold a break, Poe and Lucia sat down and got ready to relax, but Poe took the ice rabbit meat and ate it raw.
Be it Lucia or Ivy, both of them looked at Poe suddenly eating raw meat with a weird look.
"Ehm? Poe? Why are you eating it raw? Don't you cook meat before eating it?"
Lucia asked, confused about the meaning of life…
"Why? I don't have any fire and it taste good! Try it Lucia!"
Poe said as he tried to pass some of the raw ice rabbit meat to Lucia. Well as expected, Lucia did not take it and instead took some distance to Poe.
"Poe you have to cook meat! It tastes much better that way! IVY!"
Saying that, Lucia called Ivy who was still going around burning random monsters.
"What is it sis?"
Ivy arrived at a frighteningly fast speed.
"Help Poe cook the meat with your fire magic, Ivy."
Ivy obeyed her sister and went towards Poe. Helping him cook the meat well.
Poe on the other hand needed to sit on Ivy's thigh. The reason for this was that Ivy used all the heat from her fire magic to heat up the meat and therefore needed Poe to help keep her warm.
Poe thought this sounded sketchy, as she was running around burning monsters a little while ago just fine, but he could not really say anything about it and she did help him cook the meat… Poe thought of it as a weird form of payment to this damn pervert…
"It's done~ Poe~ Say ahn!"
Having finished heating the meat, Ivy proceeded to feed Poe in the most caring way she could think of and as Poe only saw the steaming meat in front of him, he did not really think of satisfying this pervert or not and just wanted to eat…
*Nom*
Having eaten out of Ivy's hand, he felt like he had done something he should not and looking towards Ivy, who was breathing heavily with blood dripping from her nose while looking at Poe. Poe realized he might have made some mistake…
Slowly leaving the dreaming Ivy's hold, Poe made his way over to Lucia's side.
"hehe~ Poe~"
Ivy was saying some disturbing things while looking at the place where Poe sat before and the person in question hid behind Lucia while starring at what he turned Ivy into in horror.
Lucia looked at her big sister while letting out a sigh, thinking about why was her big sister this useless.
Like this most of the break passed. Luckily, for Poe and Lucia they could eat in peace, because of Ivy starring into space and muttering some weird stuff from time to time. Sadly, she woke up towards the end and was about to assault Poe, but Lucia got in her way and saved Poe from a life worse than death.
The way back to the rest town went well and Poe managed to reach level 9, Poe could feel himself getting closer to completing his trail and having reached level 9, Poe of course put all the stat points into intelligence.
The mana stream that was flowing around in his head felt closer and closer to evolving than ever before; Poe felt that it would most likely be able to evolve into a mana river when his mana reached around 1000. Sadly, Poe also felt like it would be a painful experience…
Moreover, the needed EXP for reaching level 10 was 10.000… From level 10 he could finally chose his first path though… Nevertheless, Poe knew as long as it gave mana, he would take it.
Lucia and Ivy were both above level 10, meaning they had already chosen a path. Ivy had 100 % chose a fire path and Lucia was an earth mage, so she had most likely picked a path related to earth.
Returning to the town both Lucia and Poe was exhausted; Ivy on the other hand was still in top form. Like she had only gone out for a little morning run, Poe could not help but admire her for that.
"Poe~ let's go eat! Big sister will feed you!"
And, the admiration died almost instantly. Not that Poe was scorning the idea of going out to eat… Actually, he found out that it was quite the genius idea.
Looking towards Lucia with expectation, Poe could not help but make what to Lucia looked like puppy eyes.
"Fine we will go out and eat! But big sister is the one paying, as it was her idea."
"Ehhh…"
Having come to a conclusion, Poe and Lucia made their way towards the café they visited earlier that day. Ivy on the other hand was left at the entrance of the rest town; just staring at her little sister and Poe's departing figures in the distance.
"But… you got all the money… sis… Ah! Wait up!"
Having come to the sad truth, Ivy hurried to catch up with Lucia and Poe, so as not to be left behind.
The visit to the Café went well and Poe ate a lot. Sadly, Ivy did not have enough money on her and needed Lucia to pay for her.
The sleeping quarters was mostly empty, as it was still early and not yet time to sleep, but Poe was exhausted and decided that it was time for sleep. Lucia was in the same mindset as Poe and also decided it was time to sleep.
Ivy thought this would be an excellent time to get to know Poe better, but to her disappointment, Poe decided to sleep together with Lucia. Not for any other reason than avoiding Ivy…
Lucia was after all the only person who could hold back Ivy.
Lying next to Lucia, Poe thought about how much fun it was to hunt monsters together with others and it was also easier for him to level up that way.
Slowly, Poe drifted into dreamland. This was soon followed by Lucia joining his journey to dreamland.
Now… Only Ivy was awake and it looked like she had gotten a sudden inspiration from something…
