Chapter 96 - #95 New Pets (2/2)
”Nice try Suzuka. How about you find someone else? You should be grateful that I will let you leave after disturbing my sleep.” I stopped her with my hand and said with a calm expression.
”I am more than ready to bear consequences...Plus weren't you into it? You can now try it with reversed positions” Suzuka said while looking at my lower part of the body before she looked up with a teasing smile.
”Believe me, you are not ready to bear any consequences. No matter how mȧsȯċhɨstic your personality is, I would make sure to make you afraid of pain in the end. Now go before I will change my mind.” I said and shooed her away.
”Mmm, that sounds very dangerous but also kinky, unfortunately, it looks like I really should go back now that I failed with my original goal. Still, at least I acquired a good story to tell Mez, I bet she will be fuming in jealousy, hehe” Suzuka replied while getting ready to leave.
”She will at most smack you for fooling around while having a different mission...Well, enjoy it as much as you can. But please don't do that ever again or it will truly be the last thing you will ever do in your life. I don't like ra. pe, no matter what gender.” I reminded her with narrowed eyes.
”Yeah, at least I know one more thing about you, Akashi...Bye!” She said with a playful smile and then she glanced at Taeko before finally leaving us.
”Was it really alright to let her go?” After Suzuka left, Taeko finally spoke out.
”Not like we had much choice. If we killed her then others would know it was us. We could still point it to Rebel's doing but we would still be prime suspects since she was sent to spy on us. And she also didn't mean anything bad so I don't have any problem with letting her go.” I explained while looking at the location where Suzuka disappeared to.
”Anyway, I am glad that you didn't react to any of her provocations.” I said with a smile while redirecting my gaze at Taeko.
”Provocations?” Taeko muttered with a clueless expression while tilting her head to the side.
...Whatever.
---Back at Bolic's mansion---
”Hm, Suzuka? Why are you back so quickly?” Mez asked with a surprised expression and folded arms when she saw Suzuka return.
”Hehe, I screwed up a bit...” Suzuka replied with a silly smile while scratching back of her head and then she proceeded to tell what had happened.
”What the fuċk were you thinking?!” Mez immediately shouted with an angry expression but it was apparent that there was a bit of jealousy in her voice until she remembered the part where Suzuka had a sharp blade touching her neck.
”You didn't screw up by being found out by his companion but by even going inside his tent! What were you even planning to do after you would have your fun?! I will go next time...you are too impulsive.” Mez said with an upset expression and folded arms while glaring down at Suzuka.
”You are saying that just because you didn't get a chance to do it~ Anyway, he let me go without even caring about me or trouble I could bring him so I guess he isn't here to form any kind of cooperation with the enemy.” Suzuka replied with a teasing tone before she turned to her more serious side.
”True...but he could still be acting but I guess there is a very small chance that he would join enemy...Considering his character.” Mez muttered with a thoughtful expression while holding her chin and occasionally sending a few glares at Suzuka.

We spent the next few days outside of the town since it would be hard to sell anything discreetly right after being discovered by them. After a few days, I started visiting the town, looking for wealthy merchants who could afford such jewelry but I didn't push my luck and usually sold only 1 or 2 things at most before heading back to our camp. We were also occasionally changing the locations of our camp.

GOLD: 21.423

The time we spent outside of the town, inside the wildness also helped me in leveling my Beastmaster class.

[You are now able to control up to 3 common Beasts.]

I also tamed 2 more common Beasts but they were nothing special as Kiyomi. One of them was Python-like Danger Beast focused on agility and poison and another was Gorilla type focused on strength. This time I didn't tame them by completing and request because they had nothing that they wanted from me. Therefore I simply made a bet with them that if they lost a fight to my Beast, they would become my followers while if they won, I would make them much stronger. Of course, they weren't as smart as Kiyomi so they instantly accepted once they saw that they will be fighting Kiyomi. Unfortunately, despite being in the same strength category, they still lost to Kiyomi's wits. Of course, ever since she has become part of my crew, she also grew slightly stronger, most likely due to the effects of the class.
Anyway, watching their entire fight reminded me of pokemon. In the end, the Python-like Danger Beast with a violet color and black stripes over its entire body was named Orochi while Gorrila type Danger beast with unusual dark black fur with a few red strange markings over its face was named Isuku.
When I decided to look around the town for the first time, I overheard a conversation of a few locals that today will be the day when The Lord will be giving out speech to others. Hearing so, I couldn't help but attend since he was also part of the reason why I came here.
