Questionable Questing
Gusfes, Musashi-Chan replied to a thread you are watching at Questionable Questing.
[NSFW] - Is it wrong to sell drugs in the Dungeon?

"You've tried cooking before, right?"
"Indeed."
"And you did the same things you have done right now?"
"...Yes."
"Okay, putting aside the fact that you add sugar to water instead of salt. Can you tell me how it is physically possible for you to set water on fire by pouring sugar into it?"
"I cannot…" I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose with a small smile, then threw glance at the still flaming pot of water. Ning Guang was wheezing into my head, clearly very amused by the sight before us.
How is it even possible to set water on fire?!
"Let's try something else then. Perhaps baking is your calling." I hummed, then grabbed the flaming pot and just got rid of the water while Alfia nodded, a slight pout on her face. For some reason she has a really bad memory for when it comes to cooking stuff and ingredients, and just goes on to make potions or abominations that if touched or eaten, they will most definitely kill you.
Pretty sure that if someone survives eating those abominations she makes they'd be able to Level Up.
I turn towards the giggling Meteria, then blink when I notice a smiling Kirin right next to her. When the fuck did she even get here!?
"I hope you knocked and Lady Sekhmet let you in." I narrow my eyes at her, but she merely blows a raspberry towards me and crosses her arms under her large bust. "Well, since you are here I guess we can take a break to eat." I shrugged, then asked Meteria if she could go and call Lady Sekhmet while I prepare the table.
It has already been a week since I've opened the pharmacy, and I didn't open it again since then to prepare everything better and stock up some more, and because we also moved the pharmacy somewhere else. Lodging in Orario doesn't cost as much as I feared, and I managed to buy a good looking pharmacy-house with three floors, a large medicinal garden in the back, which was also closed off to not allow anyone in from the outside, a large storage area and quite a lot of bathrooms and bedrooms. All that for barely a million Valis.
We did get some people wanting to join the Familia during the week, but Sekhmet turned them all away after asking a simple question. They were all sent by someone else, clearly wanting to learn how I make Pills and steal that knowledge for themselves.
"Food from Riley? Count me in!" I chuckled as Kirin flipped around on her stool with a large smile on her face while Meteria just all but blurred out of the kitchen without any sort of take off from her own stool. She hasn't gone into the Dungeon since our first dive, but she has been in a wonderful mood and hasn't stopped smiling since then.
Same thing for Alfia, she too has been in a very good mood at seeing her little sister so excited and happy. Albeit she is a bit too happy, kind of like a rabbit on a caffeine overdose and that won't stop jumping or blitzing around at superhuman speeds. I feel like I just unleashed the devil on the Hera Familia.
I shook away those thoughts and walked towards the storage room, then towards my furnace after grabbing several large plates. I can't help but have a very excited smile on my face as the furnace opened, revealing several smoking delicacies. Who knew that I could use my furnace to cook food, especially a divine food such as Pizza.
Ah, the Italian in me is screaming with joy! Finally! I can finally eat the food of the Gods after so long!
"Oh come on, it can't be that good!" I scoffed at Ning Guang's doubtful voice, then smirked when several seconds of silence went by, followed by a loud pleasured and quite erotic moan. "Wha- What is this?! Why is it so good!? Th-this-" I chuckled to myself as she cut off to probably devour the Pizza she had just created inside my mind. If only she'd stop releasing such erotic moans though.
Still, they smell so good!
I quickly set them on a tray I prepared beforehand, then finally bring them into the kitchen, where I smirk when I see everyone's eyes go wide from the scent. Too bad I don't have the mozzarella here, else it'd be a hundred times better. It hurts to put cheese no it, goddammit!
"They smell so good! What are these?!" Meteria all but leaned across the table with a slightly drooling open mouth as she stared at the pizzas with sparkling eyes. They were all the same simple bland type without any toppings other than the basics, and a couple of spices to make it better.
"It's a specialty from where I come from." I phrased it like that so that Sekhmet wouldn't pick up the lie. I did notice Alfia, Kirin and Sekhmet herself wince at my words, probably thinking about my destroyed village. Now I kinda feel bad. "It's called Pizza, and this is the most basic one without any toppings. Feel free to grab one for yourself and dig in!" I pulled a plate with on for myself and one for Sekhmet before sitting down beside her and watching as Meteria stole one for herself at incredible speeds, her face all but sparkling as she gently raised an already cut slice, then took a gentle bite that had her all but vibrate on the chair from the taste.
I grabbed a slice from my own pizza while watching them all enjoy theirs, with Kirin and Sekhmet all but melting from the taste while Alfia ate in a more elegant manner, albeit there was a large smile on her face.
I looked down at my own slice as I folded it, then sighed softly through my nostrils. I hate thinking about home, I really shouldn't miss that place, but I guess I'm still not used to this new life of mine even after all these years.
"Riley?" I hummed and pulled my gaze away from my slice of pizza to Sekhmet, my eyes meeting her worried ones, making me pause and blink. She reaches over and grasps my free hand with hers, then gives it a comforting squeeze while giving me a beautiful warm smile. "I'm here for you." She whispers softly, and I find myself giving her soft hand a squeeze back before I sigh.
"I truly have the best Goddess ever." She squeaks and blush, then grumbles softly before digging into her slice while I do the same, our hands not disconnecting for a good while.
"I've prepared two more, one for Brynhildr and the other for Lady Hera. I'll trust you not to eat them yourself, else I won't prepare more for you." I threatened Kirin with narrowed eyes, making her gulp nervously before she pouted and dug back into her pizza with gusto. At least she wasn't making any weird noises like Ning Guang. How many pizzas is that damn Goddess eating!?
"Riley-Riley! Can we have these when we go into the Dungeon again!?" Meteria all but begs with sparkling eyes that can put the sun to shame, making me chuckle and nod as I take another bite of my pizza. It's very tasty, but not what I am used to since I'm not a big fan of cheese, so it could definitely be better. I'm too picky sometimes.
Oh right, I should also prepare everything for tonight.
I quickly finish the rest of my pizza, then excuse myself to go and grab a few things from my room and take them into Sekhmet's room. A bag with a present for her, a few cosmetic pills placed on her nightstand, and finally a bottle of perfume made by me.
Now I just need to wait for the right time to pop the question and take her out on a date. I need to pamper my Goddess a bit.
"I'm right here you know!" The other Goddess that lives in my head shouts indignantly, making me jump slightly at how sudden it was. "Ugh, wish we could go on a date! I'd show you a night you could never forget!" Her sultry tone has me flush up a bit, but I shake my head and exit the room after making sure I left everything and didn't forget anything else.
I walked downstairs to find Kirin keeping the drooling Meteria away from the two boxes of pizzas I had left for Brynhildr and Hera. That girl is seriously a glutton, and perhaps it's my fault for making her one since I cooked for her quite a few times this past week.
"You're leaving already?" I asked Alfia, who was giving her little sister an exasperated but happy look. "I don't mind if you stay over a bit longer, we can always keep going with the lesson." I reassured her, but she simply turned towards me with a beautiful smile that made me blush slightly. Damn me and my weakness to beautiful women! I can't always keep up my poker face!
"I do not wish to impose on you for too long. We can keep going the coming Sunday?" She proposes, and I tilt my head to mull over it for a second before nodding my head. I just taught her the most basic of things today like how to cut things without chopping off one of her fingers or cutting the entire building in half by using too much force, but we had to stop after she just kept setting the water on fire with sugar, somehow.
"Of course, you're always welcome her." Her smile grows warmer and slightly bigger at my words, but she glances to the side and stops herself from saying anything, a slight flush to her face as she gives me a nod, then quickly steps outside.
I scratch my cheek as I watch her drag the protesting Kirin and the whining Meteria outside the door, then just shrug. Women are hard to understand, so I won't even try to guess what she wanted to say and that caused her to blush.
"Lady Sekhm-" I turn around, but my words die in my mouth when said tanned goddess slams against my chest and pulls me into a tight hug that makes me blush quite a bit since I can feel two very large orbs squeezing against my chest. "I-Is something wrong?" I stutter, and curse myself for that as I reach down to gently pat Sekhmet's back.
"I just wanted to hug you." I tilt my head slightly as I heard her whisper that, a small smile spreading across my lips as I realized the why, making me hug her back softly. I also can't help how soft she is, and how good she smells, but it's best I don't dwell too much on that else a certain part of me starts reacting.
"I'm okay." I reassure her softly, the smile on my lips growing warmer. "Perhaps I'll tell you more about myself later on, when I can finally accept it fully. It doesn't hurt as much as you may think it does, I just have quite a few regrets." She nodded softly against my chest, then my smile turned slightly nervous as I decided to finally pop the question. "How would you like to go on a date with me tonight?" And she froze. Is that good or bad? God I'm so fucking nervous-
"Really!?" She pulls back, staring at me with wide, sparkling and hopeful eyes while a large smile spreads across her lips. I did not expect such a reaction, but I can say that it's very welcome.
"Of course. I left a present for you in your room… well, more than just one. Feel free to go and take a nice, long bath while I finish refining some more Pills." I chuckled when she tackled me into a tight hug again, an adorable happy squeal escaping her lips as she all but vibrated in place. I'm very, very happy to see her take this so well and accept it. Scared me for a second there.
"You really are the best Riley!" She jumps up and places a kiss on my cheek, making me flush slightly as I chuckle softly, then watch her all but bolt for her room as fast as she could. I definitely did not stare at her bare ass, definitely not… I hate the fact that I'm too afraid to masturbate.
"I can help you~" I shivered, then proceeded to ignore the perverted Goddess in my head. I know she'd willingly and happily help, but it still feels wrong to me, and no amount of lust will force me to agree to her proposals. I'm happy to help her feel something, anything, but I've resorted to cuddles since our first intimate time. I'd rather court her a bit or something before doing something so intimate again. "That's so cute and precious of you! Now, if only we could go on a date!" I winced at that, forgetting yet again that she can hear my thoughts.
'I'll come up with something.' I promise her as I walk into my storage room, where my large Pill Furnace was resting. I had made some research with the dwarf that built this Tier Two Pill Furnace, and found out that if I wanted a Tier Three, I needed at least a hundred million Valis of assurance, while a Tier Four could come at more than half a billion Valis. But that's just the cost of the most basic ones.
Tier Three Furnaces and beyond are those that can be used for battle too, and are actually incredibly terrifying. Ning Guang's told me that hers used to be capable of raining down immense lightning bolts, with only one of them being capable of erasing all of Orario and even more. Cultivators are really bullshit.
She insisted that I had mine made specifically with the Lightning Element, not only so that we could match as Master and Disciple, but also because once I get my own Beast Flame, I'll be able to use both Lightning and Fire to refine Pills, which as Ning Guang told me is the best way to refine them. Apparently Lightning Qi is actually incredibly good for erasing impurities, so I'll trust her with that.
As for my Beast Flame, I've looked up a few things and found out that there is actually a slightly active volcano out West, at least a dozen kilometers away, so I'll go there the day after tomorrow. Hopefully Brynhildr will be willing to come with me as extra safety, but it's okay if she refuses, after all her job is to just protect me and the shop when it's open.
I hummed, then turned my attention towards my bones, which now had a bright jade-like luster and were slightly see-through. They were a third of the way done, and the rest will take at least two weeks to finish, but if I manage to make my own artificial Beast Flame, or Earth Flame as Ning Guang decided to dub it, that should speed up the process by a great deal, while also make it a bit painful unfortunately. Fire Qi going through your bones is most definitely not pleasant.
'Say, what did the Bone Tempering Pills you had me make and take do? I don't feel much of a difference after taking all of them.' I mentally asked Ning Guang as I started pouring ingredients into my awaiting Furnace. The Item Spirit has reached a level where all my refinements are incredibly fast, with Tier One Pills and even cycles being done in less than a minute.
"The effects are mostly shown after you fully temper and purify your bones. Once you are done, they'll be nearly impossible to shatter. Harder than the hardest of metals this world can offer. Back in my universe, because Qi wasn't as dense as here, and because we didn't have ways of speeding up the growth of ingredients, not many disciples had the chance to take the Bone Tempering Pills, and if they finish purifying their bones, then they couldn't do that anymore." Here her tone grew slightly heavier and hateful, probably remembering something not so nice from her past. "They were given to the 'most talented' disciples, but such a thing was never true as there is no such thing as talent, only hard work. It was just a front they put up so that they could be given to those with a higher status, like the children of the Elders or something like that." She scoffed hatefully, making me believe that she was among those disciples that didn't receive those benefits. But alas, that's a shitty Cultivation World for you. No such thing as fairness, just cunning and luck, and power.
'One of these days, I want you to tell me everything about your past.' I told her as I started the Pill Furnace, deciding to prepare even more Tier Zero Pills for everyday life usage, especially since they can and will help for any kind of common sickness, making the city a much healthier place. I should also make Air Cleansing Pills for those that might clean the sewers, and any other Pill that might be useful, like Water Purifying Pills.
"Alright, it's a date then. Well, as much of a date this bland place can offer… I wonder if I can make it look better…" And her voice trailed off. Hopefully she doesn't fill my mind with junk like that giant mountains of books she threw at me during our 'sparring session', just to drive home the 'expect the unexpected!' point.
I shook away those thoughts and had the Pill Furnace start, then inserted a single Qi Strand inside before turning my attention away. There was no need for me to pay attention towards a Tier Zero cycle, I could use that time to prepare other things and the storage bottles.
I've done a lot this week, striking some deals being part of it. I've managed to strike a deal with the Demeter Familia, which turns out is kinda new, been around for just a few years from what I heard. The deal was simple, I'll pay them a lot for every one-hundred stalks of herbs they send over, with the types being the most important ones for me since I use them for the Health Boosting and Healing Pills.
Another deal I struck was for small glass bottles that I use to store my Pills, and they are incredibly cheap too since there's a desert not that far away from here, so the guy has all the sand he wants and needs.
Still, now it's reaching the point where I alone can't take care of all the ingredients that will come in, especially the flowers since I've emptied several shops full of them. I should really consider hiring some help, but I'm a bit paranoid and afraid that someone might try and sabotage me through bribing or whatever.
I should bring this up with Sekhmet, then maybe ask Kirin if she has any members good with treating ingredients and stuff like that. I'd say that pretty faces inside the shop might draw in more customers, but that isn't really a problem seeing how I'm the only shop selling stuff better than Potions and at prices even lower than them. Besides, Sekhmet is more than good enough.
Albeit some might come in for me too…
I give my back a stretch, then look around the storage room while going through the hundreds of recipes in my head. There's so many that are useful, but I'd rather not show my whole deck too soon. I'll slowly add more and more Pills for sale as time goes by, or when some customers might make requests about specific things.
I hum, then push those thoughts away as I focus back on my furnace, which had just finished refining a great deal of Pills. I love when hundreds of Pills flow out, all Pure Grade. The income of these alone is incredibly high, and I already have an enormous amount stocked up.
Now, I might as well make a few more batches of Tier Two Health Boosting Pills for Meteria and Alfia. Even though they do last a week, and Alfia is almost fully healed, I'd rather have a stockpile on them just in case anything happens.
Let's get to work on finishing this, then I'll go get ready for tonight's date myself. There's still a couple of hours left before the sun sets down, so I'll use some of that time to cultivate and temper my bones until I reach today's limit, then recover as many Qi Strands as possible.
I wonder if I look good in a suit.
[Sekhmet]
She wanted to admonish herself for being so excited that her first and only Child has asked her out on a date, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.
Her heart had been going crazy since Riley had popped the question, and the dresses he had bought for her were all just so beautiful and pricey too! Was he trying to pamper her or something!?
Just the thought of him seeing her in a dress, of them eating together alone under a starry sky, of the two of them holding hands- She threw herself under the water of the large bathtub, trying to quell the heat on her face as she shook her head. She was overthinking too much!
Was it wrong of her to like Riley so soon after meeting him? It was but a small crush born from how thoughtful, caring and sweet he is. It didn't help that he was also very pleasing to the eyes with his exotic feminine beauty. Something he might not enjoy hearing, but he'll probably get used to it after a while.
She knew that there was no ulterior motive, and that he wasn't after her body or trying to get between her legs like many others. It's true, she did catch him staring a few times, but he was always polite about it and almost instantly drew his gaze away. It didn't help that her clothing choice was… very revealing.
A hum escaped her lips as she bought her knees to her large chest, unable to help herself but wonder why he decided to ask her out instead of those other two girls that are very clearly interested in him. The Alfia lass was clearly trying to find ways to spend more time alone with him, but was too socially awkward to try, while that Kirin lass is all but throwing herself at Riley over and over. She could tell that Kirin wasn't actively pursuing him just yet, and that her 'seduction attempts' were mostly a way for her to try and bring out a flustered reaction from Riley. But alas, Riley's Poker Face is just too powerful.
She shook away those thoughts and rose out of the bathtub, a smile tugging at her lips as she felt so refreshed and relaxed. Riley truly loved pampering her, especially when sometimes he started brushing her hair for him. Her heart never stopped hammering inside her chest during those short and quiet moments.
She quickly dried herself and walked back into her room, then stopped and felt her face burn up even more when a sudden thought ran through her mind. Should she wear matching lingerie?
A sound akin to a boiling teakettle flowed past her lips as she shook her head, then stamped towards her drawers to pick anything at random.
She ended up with a matching set. She didn't put them back.
She spent the next hour quelling her furious blush by brushing her hair and doing her nails, something she didn't really need to do since she had one of Riley's miraculous Cosmetic Pills. But she wanted to make herself pretty with her own hands instead of using the Cosmetic Pill.
The dress she picked along those that Riley bought her was a nice black qipao dress. They had always been among her favorites, and she did want to break Riley's Poker Face tonight and make him blush a lot, so she was going to do her best!
Albeit she already shows a lot of cleavage and skin on a daily basis, so he might be immune to that already. Did her plan fail before it even started?
She shook her head, then took a deep breath and stared at herself in the mirror. She was showing a lot of cleavage and thighs, but she didn't care anymore. She was going all in! Hopefully the heels she didn't make her fully as tall as Riley, she liked the fact that he was taller than her.
"Lady Sekhmet?" She flushed slightly when she heard Riley call her from the door, making her glance towards the window and realize that she spent longer than she thought inside the Herbal Bath. Those Pills were truly amazing.
"Coming!" She called out, checking herself for anything wrong before walking to the door, then taking a deep breath and opening the door.
The losing it the second her eyes landed on Riley.
His hair were slightly messy, slightly draping over his shoulders and back. He was wearing a simple suit that fitted him perfectly and made him look both handsome and beautiful at the same time somehow, alongside a pair of pitch black gloves. She found it cute how he always tried to hide the fact that he was a germophobe.
His lone visible nearly golden eye seemed to sparkle when it landed on her, widening slightly as it quickly and politely checked her out. Her flush growing darker when she noticed his smile grew slightly.
"Wow." He said softly, almost breathlessly. He placed a hand over his chest, then turned to the side and offered her his arm like the perfect gentleman that he has always been. "Lady Sekhmet, you are truly breathtaking." She felt her face flush even more at his words, her arms quickly snaking around his as she leaned close to his body, his scent making her relax even more.
"You are incredibly handsome and beautiful too Riley." She pushed herself against him so to place a quick kiss against his cheek, then giggled and wiped away the lipstick mark that she left behind. The slight flush on Riley's face made her bite her lower lip as she tried her best to resist the urge to bring him into a deep kiss.
He just looked so cute when blushing!
"So, where are you taking me?" She asked, leaning her head against his shoulder as he coughed into his fist to regain his composure. His smile came back, but it wasn't as confident as before, and his flush still didn't disappear. And she found herself loving how his eyes trailed down quite often.
"Well, I was going to make a reservation to one of the best restaurants, but I realized that I didn't know any. So instead, I decided to go with something simple." His confident smile finally came back, and he had her turn around from the stairs leading down to the first floor, making her blink at the trail of rose petals and candles going down the hallways. She didn't even know how he missed them.
She found her heart beating faster and faster as he walked her across the hallway, and up the stairs, then out on the singular large balcony on the third floor. There was a single table surrounded by petals and candles in the middle of it, and she also noticed his furnace resting into the corner of the balcony.
He was really going to give her a date under the starry sky. Was he aiming straight for her heart!?
"Riley, this…" She breathed out, finding herself out of words to say as he led her to her seat, then pulled it back for her. "All of this, just for me?" The way his lone eye shone and the way his smile grew warmer made her skin tingle.
"For you?" He elegantly rose her hand and kissed the back of it, the simple kiss sending an electric shock through her whole body. "I'd do anything." And her heart outright melted at those words. Perhaps her face was completely glowing too with how hot it was.
Hot enough that she found herself fanning her face.
She quickly recovered when a delicious scent drifted over, making her blink and sit upright as excitement welled up inside of her. She was very likely addicted to Riley's food, and she didn't care just one bit. It was just so delicious!
"Here we go, another specialty from my hometown." Riley stated as he placed down a smoking plate in front of her. She didn't recognize the pasta inside the plate. It was thin and long, and was coated in some sort of yellowish cream alongside little cubes of meat. "It's called Carbonara. One of my favorite dishes." He set down his own plate and took a seat, then simply stared at her with his lone eye, clearly awaiting for her opinion.
She quickly grabbed her fork, then spent a far too many seconds wondering how to go about eating the pasta without making a mess.
"Oh, of course." Riley chuckled, making her flush slightly with a pout, but then watched him carefully as he took a spoon in one hand, and a fork in the other. The she watched as he picked up some of the long and thin pasta with the fork, placed it against the spoon, and started rolling it until it was nice and rolled up.
She did the same as him, then placed the rolled up result inside her mouth, and chewed.
To say that she melted from the flavor would be an understatement. She couldn't fully recognize any of the ingredients placed inside other than the meat, but they all meshed together so perfectly and made the pasta so delicious that she took her time savoring it.
"Riley, I won't be able to eat anything else other than your food from now on. Take responsibility." She huffed making him chuckled loudly with a shake of his head before he ate what he had rolled up on his fork previously.
Her heart clenched when she saw the lost, broken look that flashed across his eyes the second he tasted the food. The same lost and broken look he had given the Pizza he made earlier today.
"Even better than I remembered." He sighed, his eye having lost the previous shine to them, but he quickly regained his cheerfulness and straightened up.
Her fingers clenched tightly around the silverware in her hands, but she decided to hold back and say nothing. Riley needs time, and she'll give him as much as he needs.
Demigod or not, she'll give him all of her love and support, no matter what.
She quickly changed the topic to something brighter to distract him, his beautiful smile and laughter making the night seem a lot brighter for her. The stars may have been covered up by the clouds, but she sure as hell preferred staring at the one right in front of her.
They chatted, laughed and enjoyed the food that Riley prepared, then switched seats to a couch that Riley had conveniently carried upstairs when he realized that there was no bench for them to sit on.
"So…" She hummed, sitting down beside him and leaning against his side, her head resting on his shoulder as a smile spread across her face when she felt his arm wrap around her side and pull her closer. "Any reason why you decided to ask out your Goddess instead of the two ladies clearly pining for you?" She popped the question, chuckling inwardly when she felt him freeze slightly.
"Isn't it taboo to speak of other girls while on a date with one?" He wondered aloud, making her giggle slightly and slap his chest softly. At least he was thoughtful. "Not that I really know the rules of dating or anything, this is my first one after all." This time she was the one that froze.
"Wait, how old are you again?" She asked, finding it next to impossible that someone like Riley was unable to find someone to date, especially with how absolutely precious and amazing he is.
"Oh that. I'll turn seventeen next Wednesday." And now she really wanted to strangle her precious Child for not telling her about the incoming very important day. She'll have to quickly think up a present for him. "But to answer your previous question; I don't think they are into me? I mean, I'm not that amazing, and I'm sure they are just thankful for what I have done for them so far. Albeit I can't hide the fact that I am slightly interested in Alfia since we are quite alike." She did notice that Riley's relationship with Alfia was the closest one he had compared to the one with Kirin and Meteria. Aside from hers too of course.
"I've actually been wondering about this for a while now…" She pulled back slightly so that she could stare up at him, enjoying the way his face flushed slightly and his eyes trailed down once again. "Do you happen to have low self-esteem?" Her question threw him for a loop and fully shattered his Poker Face as he flushed up and started chuckling nervously, but she placed a finger on his lips to stop any kind of excuse that might flow out. "I want you to understand that you are a very wonderful and amazing person Riley. Incredibly talented, both beautiful and handsome, with probably the best personality I could ever ask for in a man. It's okay to feel down, but please never downplay yourself. Those two girls very clearly like you, and I know that you like Alfia too. It may not be a crush just yet, but it'll definitely bloom into that if you two spent just a bit of time alone. You just have to give it a try and I'm sure she'll be happy to go out with you." The way his eyes nervously wandered around and the way his face was all flushed up just made him appear so much cuter for her, but she kept up the slightly strict tone for as long as she could.
"I…" He started, gulped, then sighed in defeat. "Alright, I'll try not to anymore. It's just a bad habit." His warm smile came back, and she let herself be pulled into a one armed hug. "How could I ever thank you?" She hummed, then a small shy smile spread across her lips as her face flushed up a bit.
"Well, you could give me a kiss. I'm sure you deserve one too after taking me on this wonderful date." And his face went full red again, with his mouth hanging open. So asking for a kiss fully breaks his Poker Face? She'll have to remember that for sure.
"W-wait a minute now! Didn't you just try have me ask Alfia out?! W-w-" She cutely tilted her head to the side, her eyes widening slightly when she realized that Riley did not even think about gathering a harem of his own. And to think that she was so supportive of it too.
Should she keep him all for herself then?
"You do know harems are a thing yes?" She giggled as his face flushed up even more, his eyes going wide in realization. "I may feel a bit jealous, but deep down I won't really mind. I know you won't make me feel left out. So feel free to go and chase that girl if you want." She giggled again when his mouth hung open once more, clearly shocked at her support.
"D-does that mean that we are…?" He trailed of, slightly nervous and excited as he pulled her even closer, making her smile grow even more.
"Hmm, not yet! But that may change quickly if every date is like this or even better! But expect to receive some kisses every now and then from now on!" She teased him, but soon realized that she may have poked the fire a bit too much since his flush fully disappeared and was quickly replaced by a very excited and determined look.
"I'll do my best then." He assured, making her bite her lower lip as her hands slowly trailed up to his shoulders.
"Now, back to that kiss." Her smile widened, and her whole body shook when their lips met, her eyes closing as her arms wrapped around his shoulders. It was but a simple kiss, nothing sexual about it, but she completely loved it however short it was going to be.
But alas, the kiss was not short at all. It may have lasted more than half an hour.
She may have also sat on his lap.
And she may have turned the kiss into a completely make out session before she realized.
But she sure as hell did not regret it, and will look forward to the next date with trepidation.
[The Next Day]
"Happy to see you again Brynhildr!" I greeted the nervous but much better looking woman with a giant spear on her back with a wide smile, my mood having been quite a lot better since yesterday. The date ended wonderfully!
Albeit the jealous Goddess in my head did give me a mean beating for making her feel left out. Something I'll make sure not to do in the future.
"H-Happy to see you too Riley!" Brynhildr greeted back in a chipper squeaky tone, a shaky smile on her lips as she moved around slowly, afraid she might break the place with one misstep. Something she could really easily do. "That Pizza thingy was delicious! Thank you for sending it to me!" Her face lit up when she bought up the Pizza, making me chuckle as I led her back into the kitchen, the front of the store already being crowded full of people waiting for the pharmacy to open.
"Then I'm glad that I prepared one for your arrival!" I smiled when she all but vibrated in place hard enough to phase into another dimension the moment her eyes landed on the smoking Pizza on the table, a slight bit of drooling flowing out of her lips as her eyes snapped towards me, a pleading look inside of them. "Go ahead and dig in while I take care of the customers!" I patted her shoulders, or at least tried to, but all I did was pat a dust cloud shaped like her because she was already sitting down at the table and mewling over a slice of Pizza. That's some speed that even little Meteria can't match.
I quickly joined Lady Sekhmet out front, a slight flush covering our faces when our eyes met, both of our thought having clearly gone back to the night before. We may have gone a bit overboard with the kissing, but damn was it nice.
I quickly opened the front doors, then walked behind a counter and put on my usual smile as I started noting everything down.
Funnily enough, the first Pills to be actually sold out were the Tier Zero Health Boosting Pills. More than a third of them were bought by the Ishtar Familia alone, while the rest were swiftly bought by nervous looking guys or women.
The next ones to be fully sold out were the Herbal Baths Pills, which I had hundreds off, but a small girl from the Hera Familia had come over to buy half of them, then left while carrying all the boxes with one hand right above her head and a smug smirk on her face. Of course I also gave her a letter to give to Kirin, one I had prepared in advance in case she didn't come over this time.
Things started slowing down only after two whole hours, and I was close to running out of stock again! No matter how many I prepare, there's just far too many people and Familias buying as much as they could. Even with the buy limit placed onto the more important Pills, they're all almost out.
"I should really find other ways of noting stuff down. My hand is so stiff!" I grumbled while Sekhmet giggled from the side, patting my back in comfort as I slumped over the counter. At least we managed to rake up more than half of what we did on our first opening. Almost ninety million Valis, damn. I'm filthy rich!
I perked up and shook away those thoughts when Sekhmet poked my shoulder, making me look up just in time to see the familiar looking Zald and the dark skinned man from last time walk in. No signs of the prideful brat with them though, so they are very welcome.
"How may I help you?" I sat up and flexed my hand a few times before grabbing the pen again, something I should really stock up on seeing how much I have to write each time we open up shop.
"Just ten Healing and ten Health Boosting Pills please." The dark skinned man, who I should really look up on because I can't always refer him as that, requested politely with a lazy but friendly smile. "Oh and, sorry about the brat from last time. One of the new members, they always they they are hot shit." I snorted at that, my smile growing a bit at that as I quickly wrote down the order while Sekhmet procured the said bottles.
"Well, at least you two stopped him before I had to force feed him a laxative Pill." I joked, and they both shuddered at that. Dian Cecht ended up causing an entire street to be quarantined after he was fed that Pill, and anyone that came into the shop today was very respectful and kind, some even looking scared beyond belief.
"Man, maybe I shouldn't have stopped him…" Zald's companion scoffed hatefully, but he quickly shrugged and thanked us as he grabbed the bottle with the Pills inside, then left with a wave over his shoulder while Zald gave us a thankful nods.
I'm kinda sad that no bullshit happened today though. Is it wrong that I wanted to beat up someone? Wait, is that the cultivator inside me speaking? I better quell those thoughts just in case then.
"Excuse me?"
I perked up when a soft, melodious voice pulled me out of my thoughts, making me raise my head to stare at who spoke up, only for my lungs to get squeezed dry of any oxygen inside of them at the sight in front of me.
"You are Riley, correct?"
I gulped, and could only slowly nod while Sekhmet pinched my side for staring. But I couldn't help it!
This woman! She's- She's- She's-
"Ah, glad I got it right!" The woman giggled softly, the action causing a certain part of her to do very interesting things. "My name is Agnodice, the medic of the Hera Familia! I've been sent here to be your assistant on your request!"
Spoiler
She's a damn Milf!
