Chapter 16: I will tell Elder Sister
"Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Minato," A lady behind the desk leaned down after checking up Minato's token.
That token recorded his missions, hoarded stamps from supervisors, and did many other useful things for the dungeon raiders.
Even if you didn't want to turn into one, you still could get useful benefits and quests from the dungeon guild.
It was a pretty enjoyable profession, but only if you possessed enough strength.
Minato smiled, "Yes. Thanks for taking care of me."
He reported another mission and received an even more interesting one from this woman. He also knew that she was getting closer to him, but that was understandable with his hard work and efficiency.
After all, Minato kept grinding quests as if he was playing a video game day and night.
Inwardly, Minato was quite pleased to receive more attention from ladies, lovely and well endowed.
He blamed the world for that kind of feeling, actually.
Many people, be it men or women, were jealous of Yuna and Bei's looks. The family had received so many envious glares that Minato believed the whole city shared those feelings.
Fortunately, Julia and a few other dungeon guild members had saved Minato's sanity, and he grew closer with them.
He peeked into her cleavage, then turned heels, "I will be going. See you in a few days."
"A few days? Well, this is indeed an interesting quest. I still feel like you will return either tomorrow or in two days," Julia sent off Minato while waving her hand with a bright smile.
"We will see," Husband Overlord chuckled.
Minato left the dungeon guild, and he instantly noticed Bei glaring at him from the side. That kind of glare was far from the one he had been receiving from others, and he grew up to like Bei with emotions written on her face.
The expressionless Bei was just not Bei at all.
She needed to be either vulgar or lofty.
"One cheap woman recognized you, and you already stare at her fucking chest for more than ten seconds? Disappointing and disgusting. I will tell the Elder Sister," Bei spat and looked in the opposite direction.
Minato didn't reply to her words.
He just walked around her and kept his eyes on her face.
"What are you looking at?" Bei asked, looking annoyed.
Since he had approached her, Bei didn't avoid his eyes. She stared into his pupils, wearing the same expression that kept turning better with each second.
Better, because Minato enjoyed Bei's reaction quite a lot lately.
It wasn't the first time she saw Minato appreciating nature. It was also not the first time she threatened and revealed her disappointment.
A disappointment it was not, however.
Otherwise, she would've long since talked about it with Yuna.
Of course, there was a chance Yuna had already heard about it, and she simply ignored the matter.
After all, Minato just glanced into the lady's chest.
Minato felt like constant pestering from black-haired sister might eventually force Yuna to talk should Bei really do it.
That was why he smiled and replied, "She has recognized me. No other receptionist takes care of me, and having a personal lady behind the desk makes things easier. Besides, that's how you make connections with others.
I don't see anything wrong with being friends with her.
And as a friend, I shouldn't lie to her. If she sticks out her chest and shows more to me, I must show her that I notice it so that I won't hurt her self-esteem. Julia might not be as beautiful as you two, but she is still a charming lady."
Bei squinted her eyes, "Taste is subjective. Tell her that you are into fox... That you are into high-class women."
Minato blinked, "High-Class Women? I didn't even know Yuna was a High-Class Woman. Beauty doesn't reflect one's background."
It wasn't really a good argument as Bei utterly ignored that.
She turned around and slowly walked back to their house.
The way her hips moved drew more attention.
Minato sighed and sprinted to catch up to her, whether it was intentional or not. He knew that the usual walk would be more annoying than ever due to that compelling movement.
Bei was a princess, so one couldn't tell her how to conduct herself.
Minato was the same, but the best way to make things a little normal was just to talk, "So we got a quest quite far away from the city. This time, we will go further into the kingdom's territories. After this quest, we should open up our merchant business."
"That woman won't let you do any quests around the border anymore," Bei casually said.
She threw her hair behind and waited for Minato's question. The way she said her words implied she knew more about Julia, the lady behind the desk.
With her strength, Minato wasn't even surprised, but he said, "Yuna told me she is stronger than anyone she had seen so far in the city. That's nothing new."
"Tsk. Elder Sister is spoiling you as usual," Bei slapped Minato's cheek.
He avoided it and chuckled, "Weren't you about to do the same?"
"I waited for a while before lending you a hand," Bei threw a casual excuse, to which Minato smiled widely.
"Thanks, but don't try to act smart as that's just not like you," Minato chuckled.
"What the fuck was that, you twat?!" Bei turned heels and threw a punch at Minato.
High Spirits were weak psychically, but her strength still would top over Minato. Of course, Bei held back her power and feelings, so Minato defended himself and even let out a counter-attack.
Bei gracefully avoided, not seeming vulgar herself.
Minato sneered, "Vulgar Princess is who you are, Bei! Don't try to act high class as I know you too well already!"
"You know shit, weakling!" Bei conjured an invisible magic circle.
It was one of those she used to torture others.
Minato giggled, "I know you very well indeed."
His words weren't meaningless as Minato drew his own circle. It defended him against Bei's torture magic, leaving her speechless.
Of course, that was magic meant to keep her enemies strangled.
She would just keep the husband tied in one place with that magic, but the fact that he blocked it already somewhat angered her!
"Undo your magic circle, or I will go all out," Bei glared with her lips bitten.
Minato was about to answer, but the crowd burst out with laughter.
"They are going at each other again... This damn couple."
"Why do they have to show it to me? So much love. I am getting diabetes, and it's eating me from the inside! Sister!"
"I can't stand it anymore. I am gonna complain to Lord Shama!"
More similar remarks rang out around them.
Bei faintly blushed and cursed quietly, "Goddamnit fuck... What couple? Those fuckers..." She turned around and sped up back to their house.
Minato followed her.
He sighed.
This time, the reason was much different!
