"Are you mad?" I asked as Gles and I were ridiing down the streets of the ruins. Earlier that morning, I was thinking of how to use the Godly Mountains without having to ask her like a pervert. It would be absurd to ask her to strip or wear a loose shirt without underwear. I didn't know what came over me when I saw her that morning. In my head, I looked no different from a stalker who saw his target strip for the first time.
"N-No. I-It's not like I'm angry or anything." She had her head down and her voice was almost a whisper.
"I apologise for what happened earlier."
She shook her head. "I-If it's you then, it's fine. I was just overwhelmed. Mother said, men prefer bigger breasts. So, yeah."
"Still. I should have asked for your permission first. I do have to agree with your mother though. It's having large cup size earlier on can increase milk production by the time you have kids." I unconsciously blurted out.
"Solon already thinks of the future. We-We're not even going out yet." She blushed hard. Her voiced was like a fly.
"Let's take it one step at a time." I didn't want to ask her out just yet.
For now, I need to focus on cleaning up some big stains in this world. Starting with breaking gates.
If only I knew how. The answers might lie in the books I was told to translate. But what if I don't have the power to destroy the gates. The kingdom would also not allow me break the gates just because I told them of the dangers. Man's greed run deep in his blood.
That said, both take time. Time which I don't know how much I have.

The grind was much slower. Gles was tasked to battle out the monsters and when she was about to finish them, I'd sent a bull over. This way she gets battle experience, while I fill the energy gauge and loot cards. We ate lunch at a restaurant near the gate, then resumed our grind. It took longer, but I got the energy halfway full by the end of the day. After converting my loot, I got a total of 1.5M points.
Walked her home, then went mine.
Back at my desk, I opened up the card store. A few of my accessory sleeves were still empty, so I bought something for those.
[EXTOLMENT OF THE HERALD]
RANK - GOLD
TYPE - ACCESSORY
[The gods accept... might of gods. When equipped, has a great chance of dealing double damage.]
It's another ring similar to the Testament. Both of them really on luck, which I think I don't have.
[ADORNMENT OF THE HERALD]
RANK - GOLD
TYPE - ACCESSORY
[The gods accept... might of gods. When equipped, boost the senses of the user.]
These earrings had great effects, although not as great as the necklace Rudiment. Next up would be the badge.
[STATEMENT OF THE HERALD]
RANK - GOLD
TYPE - ACCESSORY
[The gods accept... might of gods. When equipped, increase the effects of of spells by 30%.]
And not to forget the belt.
[ENDOWMENT OF THE HERALD]
RANK - GOLD
TYPE - ACCESSORY
[The gods accept the faith of their children. And you as the child of their children, is tasked to show the might of gods. When equipped, strength and endurance of lower body is doubled.]
Them good belt. On passive, it enhances everything below the belt. And lo, even my little buddy. Would be weird doing the deed with the belt equipped though. Damn. But hey, I still have 1.1M points. So, let me grab one of those pet card pack.
[JOROGUMO]
RANK - GOLD
TYPE - GROWTH/PET
[She's not an arachne, don't mistake them. She's not Spider-lady either. She's a huge spider than can turn human. Becareful, she bites, rawr.
*Pet can grow by absorbing ten cards of the higher rank.]
It was the first time I saw a growth card. I quickly tried it out by placing the card in its appropriate sleeve. It was beside the mount sleeve at the bottom of the armor/accessory stage. The card shrunk and fit inside the small sleeve.
A petite girl materialised sitting atop my desk. She had no clothes on and her body was definitely not human. It's out of this world. She got great curves that don't match her height. It should be a cup DDD+ or an E. It was one size bigger than Gles' newly attained Peach Mountains. And best of all she had the sitters to match them.
In a split second, I grabbed my blankets an covered her up. I stood up and walk towards my closet. I scrambled around to find the biggest shirt I had. I pulled out a L sized blue tee with a logo of Junior World Crown.
I returned to my desk to find jorogumo struggling to get herself off the sheets. I grabbed unto the blanket and threw it back to the bed. A few omitted scenes and I successfully clothed her with the shirt.
I was lacking the undies, but I decided to borrow from Klee for the moment. 'I'll have to take the three of them shopping again.'
Thinking back of the tiring day made me want to cringe. But, it's a must if I want to keep jorogumo as my pet. I could also buy from the card shop, but Being Y might play tricks again.
Still, thinking about jorogumo in succubus outfit made my mind fly of to heaven for a second.
"Master doesn't want to see my body? Am I unsightly?" She asked in a sad tone. Her puppy eyes technique was heartcrunching.
"No. It's not that. I'm afraid I would spend 13 years in prison. That or a death sentence." I turned my head away and rubbed my nose.
"So, Master is shy. Don't worry master, I won't tell anyone. You can look at my body as much as you like." She said in a teasing way. Her hands cup around her chest.
I was tempted to try that out, so I took a step closer.
