Chapter 23: Meeting (2)
"You sure went around a lot huh" Naofumi muttered as I told him what I had been up to after he explained how he got Raftallia, and the weapon unlocks via monster materials while I told him about copying weapons,
"Yeah pretty much, though I still don't know when the wave will hit, according to what they had told me we should be nearing a time for the waves or whatever they called them" I said taking a sip of coffee,
"So this Belokas, what do you think?" I asked as Naofumi shrugged.
"If you have enough money he is selling even the devil" I smiled seems like I would need to pay him a visit soon.
"So these Runes that you have made, I am guessing you knew about it from earth or whatever your version of earth was" Naofumi spoke looking at the Isolating rune on the table cutting us off from the surroundings.
"Yeah pretty much fighting monsters was everyday thing for me"
"Even the mana circuit and enhancement?"
"Well I was no mage, I only learned the basics of runes and spells to help just in case I ran into them when inside a dungeon."
"Can you imprint it on me?" Naofumi asked as I paused looking at him,
"Maybe but everything has a price, Padwan." I smiled as he sighed.
"I know that much alright, so I am asking you what is the price for mana circuit" He asked, as I looked at him, while placing my cup down.
"I will ask you to help me with certain things in the future"
"What kind of things?"
"Don't be so guarded, it won't harm you or those around you" I replied as he became silent before looking at me.
"will it really make me stronger?"
"Well if you are taking me as the baseline then forget it. In the end it depends on the user especially Enhancement"
"I am fine with it even if it just gives me an edge" Naofumi replied as I smiled, he was coming along nicely.
"Sure, but before that have you two held-hands?" I said looking at Raftalia who was sitting with Arna and Kelin on the other table.
"It's not what you think alright." Naofumi replied as I could see his irritation.
"Sure sure, I can see bullshit five miles away"
"hey I am serious I don't have romantic feeling for Raftalia alright." I just smiled at his reply.
"Listen in demi-human years she is legal in this world alright, and I doubt FBI can jump through dimensions"
"fuck off, what about between you and Arna?"
"Oh we fucked"
".....you really are admitting it right now. Does her brother know?"
"Sure, he figured out the moment he saw her face, he was more than happy that she ended up with me. Trust me dude, blood of the heroes is very important alright especially for you any demi-human would throw herself to be your mistress"
"why?"
"Well you are practically a god for Siltvelt, the same way we three are for Melromac."
"God-dammit I would rather not deal with shit like that"
"Your choice, just saying from experience Kitsune is fucking high grade"
"Please shut up"
I just smirked and deactivated the rune before signaling to the others to join us.
Raftalia was blushing as I looked at Arna who had a smirk on her face, sure she wouldn't leave an innocent girl like Raftalia alone.
"Did you meet your mage by any chance?" I asked as Kelin looked at me then at Arna who just shrugged he sighed.
"She isn't in the capital right now, but went somewhere to the east according to the landlady" Kelin replied as I nodded.
"So I will meet you at Enrhard's tomorrow, don't be late" Naofumi said getting up as I nodded and he left along with the seven tails on him. I would have to take care of them by morning, along with the four on me right now.
=============================================
Night
It was after dinner when I was drinking at the pub when I sensed the seven signatures approaching me.
"Both of you go up, things are about to get heated" I spoke as Kelin looked around before nodding Arna looked at me before agreeing and both of them left.
I waited as those seven met up just outside the pub, their was another two signatures a little far away.
I glanced back to see the seven they were a mix of Demi humans, There were others who were around and since it was melromac it was quite rare to see Demi humans walking into a pub in which I was sitting.
The barman looked over since the pub didn't really serve Demi humans,
"Excuse me, but we don't serve demi humans here." The barman spoke up as the group paused.
"They are with me." I cut in before the others could reply,
"Listen here young man, you read the board outside didn't you..." He was still speaking when I placed the sword on the counter in its original form.
"uh...W..wait Sir hero I apologies I didn't know it was you!!" He began blabbering shit I just tossed him a gold coin.
"Don't worry about it, just close down the pub for tonight and leave I need to meet these guys who have been looking at me since this morning" I said as he quickly nodded and rushed the others out before himself leaving through the back door.
I smirked at the group before climbing over the counter to the other side, as I smiled at the Bear-human and another Catgirl who seemed to be leading these two groups
"Please have a seat, I think we have a lot to discuss"
