When they returned, Miriam had waited for them in the living room, a serious expression on her face. Seeing her being serious, they quickly moved towards her, all of them wondering what caused her to act like this.
She took out a token, with the emblem of the real estate office on it.
"For mister Ryker, the formation expert that would be upgrading your formation would be coming tomorrow. To make sure everything going smoothly. We advised only one person to remain in the house to allow our expert to finish his job without any disturbance.
We are sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for using our service," Miriam read what was put on the token.
The group seemed to be in deep thought before Ryker gave his order, "In that case, we all can take a break tomorrow. I will be staying at the house. All of you can take the children and visit the city,"
Hearing his proposal, the women nodded, finding the arrangement agreeable. "We better find a guide who can show us the city. The map can only do so much," Era said.
"Yeah, having a guide sounds like a good idea. And I just know the person that could become our guide," Ina said, already having the right person in mind.

"To think you have to leave the house. But then we can spend some time together," Lisha exclaimed, her bright demeanor making the other women smile at her.
"Yes, but we still have to take care of the little one," Miriam pointed out, the children would have scattered if not for their older siblings plus their eldest brother's lovers keeping a hold on them.
"True, but we still want to have some fun. But first, breakfast," Lisha let out, the others nodding in agreement.

"That was a big breakfast. So, where do you want to go next?" she asked the others before Era gave her thought.
"What about the bookstores? Esran would love to get some books and we can look for some story books. Besides, Ryker asked me to look for some books about formations, beasts, and herbs,"
"Sure then, onwards to the bookstore,"

The group looked in amazement, Esran practically mesmerized by the sight. "Here is the largest bookstore in the city. Here, you can find many types of books. It so happens that my favorite series just got a new book. So I'm definitely going to check it out. How about we meet outside, in an hour or two," she suggested, the other adults nodded in agreement.
The group entered the bookstores. The bookstore is a four-story building. The first floor is for the general books. The second floor contains nearly all the storybooks and novels the bookstore has to offer. The third and fourth floors are where the workers slept, the entire floor turned into a resting room for the workers.
The group split up, Mashia taking care of the children, Era looked for the book Ryker asked for, Miriam followed after Esran while Ina browsed through the shelf. As for Lisha, she disappeared, likely wanting to buy her books.

Ina scoured through the rows of shelves, looking for any books that might interest her. Because she was born in a remote village, she rarely saw any books except for the one his father had to write important documents.
Only when he traveled with Ryker did she get the chance to read story books and novels. She especially likes the latter, some of her favorites are romantic series. She had taken some romantic novels, planning to buy them.
As she walked through the shelves, she spotted a segment called 'Adult'. "What does adult mean for? Does it mean only adults could read it? If so why?" she asked herself, before heading towards the section, curiosity made her explore the section.
When she entered, she spotted Lisha, currently reading one of the books. The bookstores allow people to read the book though only for a few minutes before you have to put the book back on its shelf.
If the time limit was passed, the perpetrators had to pay an amount of coins so they could read it. It was made this way so the shop could get money even if their visitors didn't buy any books.
In the long run, it was better to buy the book if you truly want it. If not, then one can just put it back. However, she was getting distracted. She took one of the books, and read it. She wondered what kind of genre it was.

By the time she finished the book, her face was as red as a lobster, the embarrassment too much for her. To think the book she picked would detail some very raunchy sex scenes. Now she could see why it was referred to as "Adult Section,".
Besides her, Lisha looked at her with a large grin. "Like what you read?" she asked, playfully avoiding a slap that was about to hit the back of her head.
"Why do you read this perverted book?" she asked, a part of the scene remained in his mind.
The other women gave her a grin, "Why? Of course for the pleasure,"
"Pleasure," she asked, not understanding her meaning.
"Yes pleasure, because not all of us are in a relationship. To satisfy our lust, some people bought books like this so they could read and experience it. Besides, the books also give some ideas to try in the bee if you have a partner.
You should buy one or several books if you want some inspiration to spice your knight with him. While some of the sex scenes are hard, maybe even impossible to do, most of it can be done,"
She suggested it. Ina was tempted. She has read some of the sex scenes, some of which she wanted to try to do with him. Some of the stuff she read could be done in a group.
After giving it some thought, she nodded. If they find stuff they both enjoy, the mortification of buying such a book would disappear. So she took many adult books, hoping some would give good ideas to make her night more pleasurable.
As she put it inside a basket prepared by the store, Lisha whispered to her,
"There are several other things you could buy if you want to. If you want some more things to help for the night, then agree to go to my suggested location. I'm going to show the darker and leader side of this city.
