As the women walked to the kitchen, they were met with the sight of the children frolicking around their older brother. They could not help but shake their head in amusement.
After all, the little ones likely miss their older brother. Their presence was soon noted by Ryker, who gave them a stiff smile.
They returned it before heading to the table. Thankfully, their bodies were not sore anymore, and courtesies of the pills he had prepared for them, replenished their energy and reduced their soreness.
For now, though, they would enjoy the meal as one big family.

Eris looked around with some doubts in her mind. While she might have agreed to be a part of his harem, which seems to make more sense when he goes to town with her, it is still hard for her to maintain any decorum of calmness when she is currently on her first date, with Ryker and Myna.
The man had decided to take them both around the city as he did not have any outings with them, except for maybe the little trip with Myna to the County Capital City.
So, now, he is rectifying that mistake by bringing them to the city for a date. Still, while she was still holding back from showing affection in public, Myna did not have such restraint, hugging his arm as they walked into the shopping district.
Ryker's plan for the day was to buy them some equipment, maybe even get them more clothes if they wanted to. Followed by a lunch date in a famous cafe and maybe some downtime in one of the city's parks.
Eris steeled herself as she followed Myna's action, hugging the remaining arms tightly. Feeling the soft objects that made contact with his arm, Ryker let out a wry smile as he walked towards the smithy.
While he could forge their weapons too, his skill in blacksmithing is too green even if he is currently a Rank 5 Blacksmith.
So, it is better to buy weapons for them from a more experienced blacksmith.

"So, are you finding anything you like?" Myna heard her mast-, lover asked. Weirdly, the first agenda on their date is buying new weapons. Then again, it is likely to kill 2 birds with one stone, to both have a date and get weapons for their use in the future.
"I think I would like to give this greatsword a swing," she heard Eris say. She turned to see Eris grab a large sword almost as long as her height. To clarify, Eris is taller than her, so the sword likely stood a bit taller than her.
Then again, Eris always prefer large weapon, especially large sword. Her lithe figure is deceptive as most people would assume she did not have much strength to use the weapon.
However, she knew Eris possessed the skill and strength to use such a weapon. As for her, she set her sight to a bow, beautifully carved and has, from what she could see, an inscription on it.
She stroked the bow before taking it, pulling the string experimentally. She turned to the blacksmith and asked, "Are there are target around here?"
"There is one at the back, near the training area," the smith shouted. Myna managed a loud thanks as she ran towards the back, eager to test the bow.

While the two have a satisfactory smile, his pouch is weeping.
'Oh well, it's not like this is the only pouch or Genesis Stones I have,' Ryker thought before putting the pouch back into his storage ring.
They had spent some time at the weapon shop, along with some stops at a talisman shop and item shop. Both of which the two females spend their time on.
However, with noon approaching, Ryker was eager to make a stop at the cafe and have lunch first. From the grumbling he heard, the two seemed eager for that lunch too.
-x-
After another bout of spending, the food was to die for, both in the taste and in the price, they walked away from the cafe, the two looking forward to their next stop, the clothes shop.
He prepared himself, the likelihood of him carrying their clothes, before they left the shop, was yes.

"Does this look good on me?" Myna asked. And frankly, Ryker began to think cloth shopping is not so bad after all.
He did get a first view of Myna and Eris trying different clothing. From the look of it, he needed to spend more, again. Then again, it is worth it to see them in different clothing.
Besides, he also spends a lot on his other lovers' clothing as well. Not that he complained. Some of them even tried the more risque clothing, causing his manhood to rise in attention. The said lover (cough Lisha cough) was sore for the next day.
He looked as Myna tried the new clothing, brown shorts that reached only her thigh, leaving much of her leg uncovered. She also had a red top, with a brown jacket covering it. To top it off, a red hair band decorated the top of her head.
"Yes, it looks good on you," Ryker gave his approval. Myna blushed before returning to the changing room, probably wanting to try other clothing or change back.
He then turned to the next changing room, an eager expression on his face. While Myna had tried a lot of practical and adventurous clothing, Eris mainly tried formal dresses, ones not suited for travel.
Though the last few pieces are more practical in nature. He did hope this one to be the last as while there were no windows, he believed they had spent more than a few hours inside the store.
"How do I look?" as he mused over the time, a question from Eris made him turn his head towards her. That resulted in his body freezing.
Eris is wearing a white leotard, with black shorts to accompany it. It still leaves much of her leg bare, not that it is a problem with the thigh-high stocking she is wearing, which is also white. The leotard in question is sleeveless, leaving her arm bare.
However, it seem she had taken to wearing elbow gloves, that are white in color. To top it off, literally, a black hairband decorated the top of her head, three jewels on it making her look more like an heiress.
"W-well?" she stuttered, red-faced as she looked at him.
"Absolutely stunning," he answered truthfully, the answer made Eris retreated to the changing room, muttering something about sweet talker. His body shook as he tried to hold his laughter, Eris being adorable was bad for his heart.
He did not notice it but there seemed to be some other garments that added to the pile that went unnoticed by him.
