92 Chapter 6 (1/2)
”Vessë is so cruel…” There was a whimper coming from next to me in bed the next morning.
”Hmph, it was my wife that was so rough last night.” I lifted my boob up and licked it.
A moment later, a scratch left on my boob disappeared under the power of cat's meow. This was only one of many scratches left on my person, several of which I couldn't reach with my cat's meow. It certainly left the question of which one of us was the bigger pussy.
This was only the second time I had every frenzied Min. The first time had been during a giant village party. It had turned into a giant orgy, and the pair of us had slipped away in the morning before anyone could get the idea to start blaming us. Well, Min himself had been incredibly territorial in frenzy, and to be honest, any other person who approached me, man or woman, was sent running. I'd yet to experience the so-called threesome with Min to date. That was a small part of the reason I had decided not to summon Jenai during last nights entertanment. Even if I could get Min to engage, he might resent me come the morning.
I leaned over and pulled Min towards me, planting a princess kiss on his lips. The effects of sleep deprivation immediately began to evaporate, curing whatever headach he had been suffering.
”Vessë always feel good to kiss…” Min sighed as the tension left his forehead.
”Because your wife will always takes care of you,” I responded and kissed him again before standing up and slapping his bare ass while I worked my way to my feet. ”The plan hasn't changed, I imagine? We'll still need supplies, some protection, and a streategy towards invading the succubae territory.”
”Mm…”
”Then I'll just have to sell every potion we got. This far out on the frontier, even cum potions ought to sell. Just need to find a merchant with low analyze skill and maybe some sugar or syrup or something to cover up the taste.”
I finished dressing and kissed Min one more time feeling rejuvenated for the first time since I had almost died a few nights prior. As I headed down, I saw a few maids with bags under their eyes, although some moved with a pep in their step that suggested they enjoyed an eventful last night. The maid who had mentioned a rendezvous with some guy named Edward looked conflicted, her lips seeming perpetually open like she couldn't stop thinking about what happened the night before and just refused to believe it really happened.
I approached the innkeeper who was fully gussied up this morning with makeup and a dress, a wide grin on her face. When her eyes met mine, she beamed.
”Ah, there she is!” She greeted me like an old friend. ”You couldn't have been more right. The things my husband did to me, why, he hasn't been that vigorous since we were young and stupid. Ah, it feels like I'm in my teens again.”
I might have disputed that last statement given her aged appearance, but I merely smiled politely. ”I'm glad you're happy. Pink moon, uh… it didn't cause any.. adverse effects?”
The innkeeper put her finger to her lips and thought about it for a second. ”Ah, well, from what I heard, last night one of our maids confessed to one our frequent patrons. And he responded by taking her into a room and having his way with her.”
”Ah, well, that sounds about right…”
The innkeeper chuckled and shrugged. ”Unfortunately, his wife stopped by a few hours later looking for him. Found him balls deep in the maid. No matter how much she yelled at him, he wouldn't stop. In fact, he then threw her down on the bed right next to the maid and had both of them.”
”Oh, wow…” I cringed at that, I hadn't thought the maid would turn out to be a homewrecker, after all.
The innkeeper shrugged. ”His wife was so flustered that she didn't know what to do, said his eyes were like an animal. Kind of like what my husbands was like. Told her about this pink moon. The pair is having a nice long talk right now about their futures. Is it cheating if it's a threesome that you're a part of? And what if it didn't start as a threesome, but became one?”
I gave a nondescript shrug as the innkeeper seemed to be seriously pondering these questions. It looked like Edward's wife may have gotten the very end of the frenzy. Enough pheromone to cause her to turn erotic, but not irrational. So, when she was set upon by her entranced husband, the intensity probably coerced her into participating. It wasn't my finest work, but hopefully, those three worked something out to obtain some happiness. Alcohol had caused these sorts of situations without the influence of a Seductress throughout all of human history, so I didn't let myself take too much of the blame.
In fact, I had once been the third wheel in a relationship between an innkeeper and his wife. I never really followed up to see what became of those two. I recalled using a lot of seduction on the woman, but since it was so short termed, I'd assume that it would only have short-term effect. That felt like an eternity ago, even though I hadn't been in this world for even a year yet.
”Um, speaking of which, I need some money to travel, and I have some potions I'm hoping to sell.” Breaking the innkeeper and my own drifting thoughts, I turned things back to what is important.
”If you're not selling in bulk and you're looking to maximize your profits, have you considered selling straight to an adventuring party?”
No, actually, that thought had never occurred to me before. However, as soon as I heard it, it made so much sense. In fact, there was no reason I needed to buy a party at all. Trade was perfectly acceptable as well. I could simply trade the potions for services. Any adventurer should be able to see the gain in acquiring potions. Selling it to a merchant always meant markups. By going straight to the user, I could skip that and deal with someone directly.
”Do I just go to the adventurer's guild then?”
”No! No… you don't want that. The second you're in the guild, the guild's going to want some money. It'd be best to do something… shall we say, under the counter? In fact, I know a team that stayed here last night. They're trustworthy enough. You can give them a try.”
”Stayed here last night?” I asked with a raised eyebrow.
But it was too late as the innkeeper was looking over my shoulder, ”Ah, here they come now.”
I followed her eyes and my mouth opened a little as a young man a few years under my age came walking down the stairway. He was surprisingly attractive, with a muscular physic, a strong chin, blonde hair, blue eyes, and wearing typical leather armor with a sword at his side. He wore a polite smile which he beamed around the room, even at some maids, who nearly shivered at his glance.
