Chapter 685: ...like rabbits (2/2)

Rosa squirmed on top of him and coquettishly asked: ”You don't want to sleep with me?”

”I do but...” Fatty Arthur bit his lips and continued: ”If I were to do that, I won't be able to keep my hands to myself. Plus, the demon outside won't let us hear the end of it.”

”That's true...” Rosa snorted, she then kissed Arthur and said: ”Go, but promise me you'll come back later.”

”I promise.” Fatty swallowed hard in anticipation, ”Prepare for another sleepless night, gorgeous.”

”That's disgusting!” Vendrick yelled from the outside, causing Arthur and Rosa to broke out in laughter.

As Arthur was putting his clothes back on, they could still hear Vendrick shouting from outside. ”Damn, Fatty! Pretty good capital! But it's sad you can't see it because of your thick belly!”

”Fuck you!!” Arthur yelled back, laughing.

”Fat and Furious! Damn!!”

”Shut the fuck up!”

Arthur finally made his way out of Rosa's hut, leaving his 'lover' laughing and exhausted. She'd probably fall asleep moments later.

A blushing Fatty ran down the stairs and tried to punch Vendrick but he failed and was placed into an arm-lock. The two played around for bit, but it was just mostly Vendrick teasing Fatty non-stop. It didn't take long either since Arthur was exhausted from staying up all night as well.

”Do you remember what I told you two?” Vendrick asked, sitting down beside Arthur and handing him an apple.

Arthur chew on it and answered: ”Yep, don't worry. We're not in a hurry to have a child.”

Vendrick nodded when he heard that. In reality, considering the norms of the tribe, all of them were already adults. Arthur's 15, Rosa's 14, and Vendrick's 16 years old. Typically, all of them were old enough to start a family according to the tribe's tradition but for Vendrick, it is still too early.

Forget about the tribe's norms, with Vendrick's support, Fatty and Rosa could actually start a family and they'd still have comfortable lives. Unfortunately, Vendrick didn't want them to fall under a false sense of security, thinking that he'd be always there for them. Additionally, both of them are hell bent on becoming Berserkers, knowing how dangerous it is outside, Vendrick suggested for them to wait. He already educated them anyways and both of them understood this properly so Vendrick trusted them.

That being the case, if they truly wanted to start family now, Vendrick wouldn't stop them, it's none of his business anyway.

”I'm venturing out. I'll seal the hideout away so that both of you can be safe while I'm gone.”

Arthur was alarmed when Vendrick said this. He couldn't help but ask: ”Do you really need to?”

”I'm training for the sake of doing that anyway, so yeah I need to.” Vendrick replied in a solemn manner. ”Don't worry, I'm strong. I'll come back in one piece. Even if I don't, you guys will be absolutely safe here. Heck, I've taught you many things, so long as you don't step outside, you guys can live happily ever after here.”

”That's not the issue here.” Arthur sighed, somewhat feeling down. Both him and Rosa owe Vendrick too much. ”Just pay attention to your safety. Come back alive and in one piece.”

”I will.” Vendrick patted Arthur's back and replied resolutely. ”Don't worry, I won't go down that easy.”

He then stood up, dusted his pants and gave Arthur a teasing look: ”I'll be gone for at least a week or two, feel free to mate like rabbits then. Huhuhu...off I go then...”

”Argh...damn!”
