"T-that was dangerous…"
The next morning.
Or rather I once again woke up when it was nearly noon.
I looked down on Alicia who was sleeping with a cute soft snoring. Seeing
her made my body shivered.
That was because, Alicia with her Gift the Sacred Knight leveled up, she
was, terrific.
I was really glad that I manifested the skill Penis Form Change.
If I couldn't freely change my dick to accurately attack Alicia and whittled
down her stamina, I would have turned into a dried corpse around this time.
…No, to be more exact, it wasn't just the effect of the form change skill.
Actually yesterday, it seemed that I had leveled up even before Alicia pushed
me down.
I noticed late because of all the commotion but, thinking back my feet felt a
lot lighter when carrying the bodyguards. It seemed that I leveled up from
defeating the Armor Ants.
It seemed that Incubus leveled up not just from doing lewd things, but also
from battle.
Without that, I would fall just a bit short from getting ahead of Alicia's
stamina=vigor and I might end up being wrung dry.
The way Alicia sought me out like a burning flame yesterday made such
possibility crossed my mind.
The growth rate of the Sacred Knight enabled her to be hot on the heel of
even the Peerless skill that had leveled up. I shuddered again. As expected
from the legendary Gift.
Even so, it was a happy miscalculation that I could also level up from
battling against monster.
With this, I would be able to defeat monsters to earn money while leveling
up to grope for the possibility of manifesting a skill for dispelling the
Master-Servant Contract.
I couldn't possibly spend the whole day just doing lewd thing with Alicia,
and so being able to grow stronger while earning money for our living
expenses during the day was important.
…Although, it seemed that feeling good for the whole night with Alicia
leveled me up more than seriously fighting level 80 monsters (I couldn't
check my status so I don't know the detail but, feeling-wise, it felt like I got
1 level up from fighting the Armor Ants and 9 level up from spending the
night with Alicia).
It seemed the Incubus Gift didn't have any intention to allow me to live a
proper life that easily.
Well, putting that aside, I couldn't spend the whole day lamenting about the
obscene nature of Incubus.
I had reached a good stopping point (more or less) with my skill inspection
and I had also gotten used to this city. Now there were two things that I
wanted to prioritize doing in so that I could continue my life of elopement
with Alicia.
"Come on Alicia, wake up."
"…Erio, love… I love youuu… ❤"
"…tsu"
My heart was pounding from Alicia's sweet sleep talking that reminded me
of yesterday's continuation. Even so I turned my heart into demon and woke
up Alicia.
The things that I wanted to do today.
One of them was procuring new weapons.
Fighting the swarm of Armor Ants had caused my weapon and also Alicia's
weapon to be slightly damaged.
Weapon was necessary to protect ourselves. I wanted to immediately procure
new weapons even if it would hurt our wallet.
It was also related with the second thing that I wanted to do today.
I at least had the penis sword but, I was reluctant to use that every time…
Using it carelessly would increase the chance for the surrounding to find out
about Incubus's perverted skill. There would be no advantage to that, and
there would be nothing better than owning a normal sword.
And so I went out to the street together with Alicia.
Even Alicia who was half-asleep at the start "…A date with Erio" got into
a good mood from that.
Thinking carefully, when Alicia and I were living in the capital, we were
unable to be carefree and go out with just the two of us, so this would be our
first time strolling on the streets with just the two of us.
Like that we were having fun looking at various shops, mainly the weapon
shops, but we got faced with a bit of problem after a while.
"Nn, there aren't that many good weapons."
"…Yeah. A part of it is because of how good we had it before this as noble,
but even taking that into account, the weapon quality here is just not that
good."
To be more accurate, there were a lot of good weapons here that were better
than what Alicia and I currently had.
But all of them had much higher price tag than they should be.
It seemed that the product price became relatively high because the swords'
material had to be procured from far away.
We returned to the inn for the time being while feeling troubled. There we
tried asking advice to the receptionist.
Then,
"Aa, the best blacksmith in this city… no, in this region is unmistakably
Weips-san but…"
The receptionist lady hesitated to continue for a bit there.
"She is someone famous for her moodiness, so there's no guarantee that you
will be able to obtain your preferred weapon there you know?"
When we went to the shop that we were told about, the location was a
building that could be mistaken as a ruin, located in an isolated place of a
back alley.
W-we absolutely wouldn't realize that this was a smithy if we hadn't been
told beforehand… or rather, was this place really a weapon shop? At least it
had a signboard that was written with "Weips Weapon Shop" but…
We entered inside while feeling doubtful… then right at that moment, we
became convinced that this place was really the aforementioned weapon
shop.
"…This is, amazing quality."
"The price is also too cheap! All these weapons should be priced higher!"
Both Alicia and I came from military family.
We understood the quality of the weapons lined up there in a glance. Our
eyes sparkled in excitement.
It was then.
"Aa~? What kinda business you brats have here?"
A woman appeared from the back of the shop.
She had dark skin and a bit muscular body. She was a beauty with black hair
that was tied into a long strip behind her.
She was a half dwarf woman who looked exactly like the
description──Weips-san glared at Alicia and me.
"…Tsk. Just some brats who only got their Gift recently huh. Get the hell
outta here already! I'm not gonna sell my weapon to someone I don't like
even if threatened by royalty or nobles!"
Weips-san said that and unsheathed one of the swords in display to threaten
us.
I-I see… this was why this shop looked really desolate despite the quality of
the goods… I understood that from seeing Weips-san showing her craftsman
spirit in full force.
But this was troubling… even though we had luckily stumbled into this
treasure trove of wonderful weapons, we got driven away right from the
front gate. The refusal was stronger than expected.
She was saying that she wouldn't sell weapon to someone who she didn't
like, and yet it looked like she didn't have any intention to test us at all right
from the start…
Hmm, it was really a pity but, I guess it would be better for us to go to the
second or third shop that the receptionist told us.
As I got overwhelmed by Weips-san like that.
"…Hm? You guys, your attire and that hair color…"
Weips-san suddenly narrowed her eyes and stared at Alicia and me.
"Oi brat, your name?"
"Eh? Me?… Err, my name is Eriol."
I told her the fake name that I also used with Sonya.
Right away,
"! So it's really you huh!"
Weips-san's stern expression suddenly changed completely.
She put on a wide smile and put her arm around my shoulders. Ee!?
J
י
I was turning red from feeling her voluptuous chest being pressed on me.
Weips-san laughed in a good mood.
"You two are the brats who saved the missy Sonya right!? My cousin was
one of the missy's bodyguards. So I was also thinking of thanking you two
for the save!"
From what she said, it seemed that Weips-san was like Sonya-san's relative.
Sonya-san had secretly told her about us.
Weips-san continued talking to the surprised us.
"And? You two came here because you need weapon ain't it? Ou ou, just
take whatever you like! No need to pay!"
"No no! There's no way we can do that!"
I'm extremely happy that we can obtain high quality weapons from here but,
even so there was no way we can just take them for free. Even before that
the price of the weapons here was already too cheap.
I was feeling bewildered by Weips-san's treatment to us that changed too
drastically while continuing "Ah, but".
"We will pay the full price, so can I ask you to do something for us?"
"Oh? What?"
"I want you to pick a weapon for Alici… for her."
I told Weips-san while hiding Alicia's name.
Alicia's Gift was Sacred Knight.
Her growth rate was terrific. Even in just one aspect, sex dri-… stamina, it
was not far behind Incubus. The potential strength her Gift was hiding was
extraordinary.
It was possible that normal weapon would immediately be ruined in her
hand. I was hoping that we could obtain a weapon that was as good as
possible for her.
Then Weips-san said,
"…Hahaa, I was told to not blabber to anyone because you two seems to
have special circumstances. I see now. Certainly you two must've really
special circumstances. The missy there, her Gift ain't anything ordinary at all
right?"
Weips-san declared that just from a single glance at Alicia before she went
back deeper into the shop.
"Then take this. This is my best work among all the sabers in this shop like
what you missy got on your waist there. Its name is Wind Cutter. Take it."
Seeing the weapon she brought out caused both Alicia and me to widen our
eyes in shock.
No matter how cheaply we estimated its price was, that sword should be of
similar quality with an excellent sword that worth some months of salary of
the average holy knight in the capital.
"No umm, as expected please let us pay the money for the sword! As
expected taking something like this for free is just too much for us!"
"Aa!? What the hell you shitty brat! Are you saying you're too good to
accept my best work!? I'm gonna kill you!"
What's with this troublesome woman!?
And then after that, we lost against Weips-san's passionate insistence in the
end and accepted the Wind Cutter. Furthermore she also went "I like your
modesty" and gave a short sword that was too good for me.
Sonya said "I'll definitely pay you back later" but… just what happened
today was already more than enough to return the favor…
