To think it also exists in this world.
{Haha, it exists in every world since it's basically a plant. However, its effects can vary depending on the world.}
I see... I need more details about it.
[Demon Lord Purple Quince Strain: A weed strain that's exclusive to demon lords and associates. This strain is usually grown in a demon lord's courtyard by their butlers.]
[Uses/Effects: Apart from making one feel high and on top of the world, this strain can improve the reaction of its users and make them see the world a bit slower than normal. Not only that, it can also enhance its user's Mana temporarily by one or two levels. This weed can only be smoked once a day due to its high DMS level.]
[Disadvantages/Backlash:
★It contains a high amount of demon energy which is why it's called Demon's Mana Surge (DMS), which can kill any normal person from any race. (However, the host is immune to this effect just like a demon lord.)
★Might lead to anxiety or depersonalization if the host takes more than three hits.
★If the host takes three hits, it will boost the host's Mana level temporarily. However, once the effect runs out, it leaves the host unable to use Mana for the next five hours.]
As I read about the effects of the weed, I become more shocked. Simultaneously, the weed appears in my hand. It's about eight centimeters long and looks exactly like a normal blunt back on Earth, except that it is rolled with a strange purple paper. The content inside is also purple.
While I am inspecting the blunt, I suddenly feel a vile aura around me, causing me to raise my head.
"Owen, are you still sleeping?"
"Sue."
"Yeah, it's me. Can you explain why you are grinning inside here while we are working our ass outside?" Sue asks, her frustration evident on her face.
"Well, it hasn't been up to five minutes since the team leader left, so what's the commotion about?" I ask, getting up on my feet, and stretching my body.
"Whatever, meet us outside," Sue replies, power-walking out of the room in annoyance.
______________________________
'That idiot, he is the most annoying freak I have ever seen. I can't believe he even did that to me. I won't forgive him!' Sue thinks inwardly as she walks out of the hut.
She starts walking towards her other teammates who are standing at the town square. Amongst her teammates, are other people who are chatting with them— and they are the villagers.
"Team leader, he is still asleep," Sue says as she catches up with the others.
"Sleeping, but he was awake when I checked on him. Maybe I will wake him up myself again," Lena says, wondering if Sue is telling the truth. She could tell that the two weren't on good terms.
Ban, Nando, and Gustavo on the other hand are busy washing their faces with water to clean the sleep-gunk of yesterday night from their eyes.
"Miss, we appreciate your efforts. None of our men was hurt. They don't look traumatized. They have just been sleeping since yesterday with smiles on their faces. They are probably happy they got back with their family," An old woman who is an inhabitant of the village says, thanking Lena and her teammates for their efforts.
"It's nothing, haha," Lena replies with a wry smile. 'As expected of males. Despite getting raped by the Harpies, they were about the experience. If it was the other way round, it would have been a different case.' Lena thinks inwardly.
Suddenly, a tap from the old woman brings her back to reality.
"Because of your efforts, we have decided to pay you double for the mission you completed," the old woman says, handing a very big pouch to Lena.
"Thank you very much, ma'am. I appreciate the hospitality," Lena replies with a smile as she collects the money, and puts it in her space ring.
'Waaah! I finally received our pay. Fuck, I am going to eat till I can't work again.' Lena thinks inwardly, grinning from ear to ear.
Turning around, she suddenly sees a familiar person behind her.
"Owen, you are here already?!" Lena says in slight shock as she didn't expect him to appear this soon.
"Yes, Lena," Owen replies sheepishly.
'That was so close...' Lena thinks inwardly.
"Okay, guys.... It's time to go!" Lena shouts, calling out to the other members.
______________________________
Currently, we are back in the guild, and standing in front of an attendant. Compared to the attendants that are in charge of issuing adventurer cards to people, there are a lot more attendants reserved to tend to the real adventurers' needs.
Right now, Lena is currently showing evidence to the guild that we've completed the mission we picked. The evidence depends on the type of mission.
"Okay, I have confirmed it. You have to pay ten percent of the mission rewards to the guild as usual," the attendant says with an expressionless face.
Gritting her teeth, Lena pays the money to the attendant. However, according to Lena, since the villagers paid twice the money that was shown on the mission board, she would only give the guild five percent.
After paying the money, Lena shares the money equally amongst us, and my share is thirty silver coins. Immediately after receiving our share, my teammates start leaving one by one, and the last person to leave is Ban.
"Team leader, we'll see tomorrow, I have a date with my girlfriend today," Ban says in a loud voice as he exits the guild, crab-walking
"Sigh..." Lena mutters and suddenly looks at me.
"Owen, since only the both of us are left, should we go home now? Though I have to get a few things from the market to cook," Lena inquires.
"Y-Yeah."
