Fgh..Guf...Isshhhhhtttttee"
"Tora....Ngh....Ahn!"
The two were sweating and their bed was soaked with their sweat. Astora was hugging Rizette, his hands wrapped in Rizette's waist.
"*Huff* *huff* I think we over did too much..."
"Rizette we've been doing this for 2 hours... It's already morning...."
She turn back and lift up his face, as she admire Astora's appearance she then kiss him.
"Mhnm....ah."
Rizette gave a smuggy smile to Astora.
"Sorry, fufufu~ I always can't stop resisting admiring you Ast~"
He held her tightly with his other hand groping her chest.
"Ahn! I don't like being tease Ast!"
Whilst they were in the middle of their romance a knock on their door interrupted them. The two panic and immediately went to put on their clothes.
[Sometimes I forgot who I am engaged too and once I realized it, I am never cheating..]
Astora said to himself, they opened the door and revealing Roland behind it.
"Huh.."
"Oh hey Roland!"
Astora greeted Roland as he was covered with sweat.
"If you're wandering-"
"Aren't you and Alisa-"
"Please do not ask us to elaborate..."
They both were silent for a moment as Roland couldn't express their behavior and misunderstood the whole situation.
"Ok...so would you drop by my workshop later?
"Yeah sure!"
Roland left, not saying a word. Astora facepalms in guilt as he closes the door.
He turned back to Rizette and she smiles akwardly at him.
"You should really need to get a hold of yourself."
"Hehe~"
After a while they prepared to leave and check out from the inn, they went to Roland's place and knock on his door
"Come in!"
Roland's voice was muffled as he was inside. They opened the door and see a variety of weapons and armor and also Roland organizing.
"Ah you two came.. no pun intended.."
"..."
"Well let's get right to it."
Roland went over the counter and takes out an tab.
"I heard you were leaving today so might as well repay you two with what I can."
Roland smile as he wrote on the tab
"Please do choose anything you'd like in my shop!"
"Huh?"
"Well you not only saved but my family too, we may lost our home but at least we still have eachother."
"You sure?"
"Of course. This is my thanks for you guys after all."
The two roam around the shop.
"Perhaps I could recommend you two?"
"Well, do you have an armor that isn't hot and heavy?"
"Ah then I recommend you a brigandine, strong enough to protect from cuts."
"Is there any--"
"Well it's gonna be hard to breathe with it and it's quite stuffy."
Roland would walk over to an armor stand where an brigandine was decorated, he then grab it and place it on the counter.
"Here feel it."
Astora would touch and feel a hard and stuffy leather.
"Piercing thrust attacks are the ones you gotta worry the most."
"In other words Ast, you won't have to worry too much about blunt attacks."
"Well seems like Alisa is smart with this kind of topic. Ast and Riz? Which part of your names are those?"
"Oh it's a name tease."
"I see. You guys aren't really cousins are you?"
"...."
The two quiet as Roland asked them with a serious expression.
"Believe it or not.. Alisa tend to be called a..well you know..."
Astora does gesture to Roland, implying there has been numerous incidents of misunderstanding about their relationship.
"I see..you should've drunk more milk back then."
Astora would point at Rizette as Roland jokingly replied to his height. He would understand the joke Astora made and just gave a voidless expression to him.
"Oh...."
"Knock it off Ast."
"Alright sorry."
Astora would chuckle as he's being pinched on his cheek by Rizette.
"I'll take the Brigandine."
"Great! What else?"
After a while, the two didn't took alot from the black smith nor anything that were expensive and left.
"Well..what now?"
"Well thank the chief he's preparing us a cart."
"Well I guess we should give them a little helping hand before we leave?"
"With what Roland gave us, we could."
Their conversation would be interrupted by a chaos as villagers were running towards the village gates. They both decided to check the ruckus and there they saw a group of wounded, one screaming in pain as his bone was coming out of his arm.
"What the hell happened!?"
"They were just at Roland's house they said!"
"But that was now just a wolves den."
"Well they weren't aware--"
"There were just wolf bodies! Aghh!" One of the adventurers shouted
"What!?"
Rizette was shocked as she and Astora were just there last night.
"Brigands! We were attacked by brigands!
"But they were dead!"
"Augh...we did see bodies when we entered there...Agh!"
The two couple stare at eachother confused, baffled, shooked, and flabbergasted. Their eyes widen big, an expression of deep fear.
"We need to check what the hell in there."
"I agree."
Astora turned and told a village guardsman:
"For the time being put this village on high alert!"
"Huh!? Why!? And where the hell are you two going!"
The guardsman replied back with an question as the two ran towards a stable and rode their horses to the blacksmith's house.
"If we
don't come back till noon, then we are dead!"
"HAH!?"
The two spur their horses and gallop as fast they could to get there.
"Rizette could it?"
"I sure hell hope it won't be!"
