Chapter 15: Yuburg City
"Do you want to take this beautiful woman as your wife, Roman?" Tetsuya spoke while doing his best to hold his laughter. Right now, he was the priest performing the marriage ceremony for one of the bandit bosses.
It was the first player that was about to receive the wife buff! "I want." Roman's voice was serious and one wouldn't even think of him as a bandit. Only those scars on his face somewhat could affect his seriousness, but his woman loved those.
As his deep voice rang out in her mind, Roman's loved one felt like flying! One could see that she was also enjoying the 'purer' path! The game rune system and its eroge game also brought a lot of fun and pleasure into their life.
"As both of you have gone through a lot, it is time to just think about that sweet emotion. A sweet emotion that fuels your hearts and probably has connected you more than enough." Roman surely never thought about plundering and stealing. The same went for his woman; she wasn't interested in any other men at all. Both of them were purified per Tetsuya's quests!
"You can kiss and seal the deal." The priest's voice echoed through the forest. This voice was not only high and deep but also charming enough to silence the whole crowd. Only the sound of the bandit boss and his loved one echoed around.
It was not the innocent kiss, but the one that bent the lady's knees.
Only after their lips parted did the crowd stand up and cheered! The former bandits from Roman's circle cheered the most, but everyone was happy for the boss and looked forward to their own marriage.
It looked like the new game and the wife buff already spread through the whole Tetsuya's Gang! The game master was also interested in its effects, so he excused himself and went to the side.
He took the quickly made bench for himself and then opened the game rune's window.
[Roman's first wife buff- 10% INT increase on level-up; Roman's wife is a smart woman. She has fallen due to poverty, but with enough time and resources she will be able to increase her partner's INT with her actions alone.]
"In a certain sense, the eroge game fulfills the moderator's role," Tetsuya told Ashley without even hiding his voice. It was solely because the crowd was cheering so loudly with the beer splashing around the quickly made church.
Brolu's voice was one of the loudest as he began to toss the happiest man up with other bandits. This caused Ashley to pause a little, then she spoke. "Eroge Game focuses on the relationships, though. It also enhances one's charms close to personality, but for the sole strength and rune power it wouldn't do much." Ashley laughed then as the eroge game had put the bandit bosses in funny situations.
There were choices that they had to make and though most of these choices led to some perverted situations, it all contributed to the relationship progress. The choices were also rewarded with small buffs, but those buffs were currently the most powerful at the end goal which was the marriage.
Of course, it is all based on one's personality and there will surely be a player whose most rewarding choice will be to leave the woman alone. Not everyone could get purified!
"Our players are weak and their bodies aren't anything special. The eroge game should be more useful with people whose bloodlines are connected to the rune." Ashley then boasted about her knowledge. She told her partner about the runes made 100% out of the bloodline. One could strengthen those with intercourse in a special rune formation. "My guess is that the eroge game will be exactly this formation. I have heard it is a special formation that also requires a lot of stuff, so only the heirs are rewarded with those. Humans have these too." Her eyes then closed as she wanted to hear Tetsuya's opinion on this.
His voice belatedly left his lips, "Relationships equals power, that is obvious. If I had some strong father-in-law, then he surely wouldn't want to see his daughter in tears due to my problems. He would work in my place, instead. But now that you have said it, I guess I will have to do some pounding. Not like I would refuse to strengthen my players and their runes with sex." This made Ashley squint her eyes.
She whispered 'Yes, you obviously wouldn't refuse. I am actually fed-up with your nagging every day.' Her partner began to loudly voice-up his dissatisfaction due to the lack of a partner. His only partner was within his body as the soul.
"I have heard it." Tetsuya rolled his eyes. "I want to know what is needed to resurrect you," Ashley told Tetsuya about it a little, but the full details about this process had yet to enter his ears.
"It's not resurrection. My soul is all fine, so I am alive. It would be worse if even my soul was hurt…" Ashley first told Tetsuya this, then went into details. "We would need to visit Green Fairies Spring to give me a body…" It was the perfect time to take out a map.
This map was done through the game rune's system by Ashley's finger. The written map went to Tetsuya's own system and then it spread itself in front of his eyes. The map lacked many details, but their current location and dangerous zones were all shown here.
Tetsuya always laughed as he got really far away from Ashley's destroyed household, "If we were to follow my map, then it would be here?" He pointed with his eyes at the small area crowded with green bushes. This was exactly The Green Fairies Spring, but Ashley didn't even think of going here as it would be suicide.
Her royal household had to be careful with those fairies and they would gather many treasures if their help was needed, "It's not wise for us to go here. Maybe after you level up a few more times and gather more players for stats, then we will go!" Ashley hoped to convince her partner.
It was surprisingly easy, "It will take a lot of time for us to arrive here, but it will be my second goal after destroying the slave business." Tetsuya smiled. "Let's just gather players on our way here, so by the end of the journey, we will have so many stats you will be begging me to go here. I want to hear so many more melodies out of that voice of yours…"
"Pervert and asshole." Ashley snapped, then threw a punch on the screen that displayed Tetsuya's vision. No way she would hurt his eyes, but Tetsuya felt a little pain out from her voice. He just laughed through it, though.
His eyes then shifted to the closest city near their location. "Yuburg City… You told me the slave business is not that big here." The Tetsuya's Gang would be already here if not for the marriage ceremony.
"Yes, it should be just a few slave merchants… This Yuburg City is still strong as students from the academy stop here to rest during their trial. Brolu already told you about this, right?" Ashley's words meant one thing.
If Tetsuya really wanted to just destroy the business, then he would need to do it fastly! Otherwise, the city's mayor's guards would be enough to take him and the bandits down! Brolu wouldn't be that useful here too!
"I know. As I said before, the slave merchants will become the slaves and the rest will be saved. That's it." Tetsuya then got approached by the happy bandit boss. He was also the husband now.
"Thank you, Tetsuya Boss!" Roman shouted while passing the bear. "Please, drink with us! It is much more fun here! Hehe!" He then nearly threw up on Tetsuya, but luck saved him there.
This made Tetsuya's eyes narrow as he sighed, "Just leave the beer here."
