Chapter 26: Temporary Home
A bath with hot steamy sex with all of them ensued with us all staying out of the water. We cleaned ourselves up and relaxed in the bath, not in our own juices for once. We laid in the bath, relaxing in the afterglow of great sex with each other. Tina laid back into me, sitting on my lap. Emily was to my right and Mally to my left.
Kate was sulking across from me since I refused to let her cum the whole time. I laughed to myself as she was the reason for it. Suppose she wanted to be treated like a masochist, I will since she is. First, when I command, She obeys I was pretty sure how that worked.
"I will get some sleep tonight after I will craft a letter to send my cousin, and I will send a message to him as I go to work," Tina informed me, and I smiled.
"That is fine, Tina; I am pretty laid back if you ever noticed. Well, except to Kate, she brings out my dominant side. I have no idea why." I say, relaxing back my arms around Mally and Emily. I feel like one of those rappers with multiple women in my last incarnation. I felt like a million dollars. I will not lie to myself.
"I just decided this when I realized that we will need to stay here for a bit longer than I thought. When we buy the place, we should hire someone to clean for us. If we don't, who of us will clean?"
"I would, Chelsea!" Emily seemed hurt by me asking that question. "I am your slave. I would clean and wash our place. Why would you think otherwise?"
"Emily, I love you, and you know it, I might be a bit of an intellectual scatterbrain, but you have other things as well. Think about it you are D-rank in their prime; you should be training if you become a C-rank or even higher should be your priority, not cleaning our messes after a fun night. Your time is worth more than the silver we can pay someone else to do that job.
Or the Gold to make sure that the place has a chef and cleaners to make sure we enjoy ourselves. You may be my slave but have I ever treated you like that? You are my bodyguard and lover. You are with me all the time. I consider your time worth gold as well as mine.
For weeks of travel of a fresh C-rank adventurer, they pay three hundred gold with two D-rankers although Mally I question whether you are D-Rank or C-Rank," I look into her eyes, and she looks away," But that tells me that our time is valuable. You, as a D-rank, are above some minor cleaning that can be spent training. Let hired help do that we can get stronger while I am here and make some gold.
You know how valuable my time would be if I was hired; how much gold do you think I could make if I just made potions instead of cleaning?"
She looks away from me, "I get it, Chelsea; I like doing things for you, though, and cleaning feels like something I can do that has a direct impact on your day. It shows I care without saying it, okay?"
"Of course, that's okay; I never want you to think your way of showing you care not to matter to me. If you want to clean then clean, I am just letting you know that I think your time is better spent elsewhere but doing something to show me you care is priceless and that matters more." I am looking into her eyes, and Emily starts to tear up.
"Thank you," Is all that comes out of her mouth, and I kiss her, "It's okay, I am here," I say to comfort her. I seemed to be making all my ladies cry except Mally. Well, and Kate, but Kate was excited earlier tonight. I was emotionally bonding with the ladies around me. I truly care about them; they might have just met up with me, and my bonds seem a bit random to me, but I care about them.
Mally was a lot of fun to be around, too, maybe not the best influence, but I like her around.
We all relaxed and enjoyed a conversation in the baths before we went to our room and slept the night. It was uneventful even in the morning. Tina was first out, but I remember a kiss in the morning both to my lips and to Doorknocker. A couple of hours later, the rest of us got up.
I told Emily and Mally that we needed to go to the adventurers guild to pick up our reward gold since all of us had to be there. Kate could join us and pick up hers before I went and showed her the trainer's place. I heard agreement all around, and so we went. We started with a nice breakfast, and the waitress was now blushing at me while she served us.
I think she was thinking a bit about my invitation last night. I smile to myself.
Then we were out after that. We took to the adventurers guild and quickly completed the stuff needed there. We grabbed our gold and left; at this moment, we had no plans to take more missions at this time. We all got settled in quickly, and Emily and Mally went towards the Tailors while I took Kate to go to the trainers.
The Dwarf with a large beard saw me again. He smiled and looked at Kate beside me; he watched her closely. "Your back with someone new? I forgot last time to collect fees; bringing someone new will increase them." He told me flatly, and I confirmed in my head the paywall.
"Yup, I brought a berserker in my group that would like to learn the mysteries of Mana condensed to Rage."
"That is fine, part of the basics here in the Dwarven Kingdom for those who can pay. The price for your training to make optimal use of your body will be a hundred gold. For her, it will be five hundred." My eyes shot up at the price that was fucking expensive no wonder there is a discrepancy between E-Rank to C-Rank there was a hard wall.
That wall was money for poorer people; it was hard to climb out of that. It was impossible for people in the slums and probably forced those talented ones into Nobles' hands if they were lucky. It made sense now, although I do not get why they would do that. They would have more national power if they universally taught it to everyone.
They would lose some power in the short term, but the empire they could build would be spanning the world if they did it right.
"That is a little expensive, but I will pay. I want the best service, though, so that Kate here will become a great berserker." He nods his head.
"Best is all I can give for her your gold. I train mostly noble brats, but I shall train her so that she cries every step on the way home," The Dwarf's smile turns sadistic, "I am sure she will love it here!"
The training for me started right away, working on some weird dance slowly. He told me it's for flexibility and control. He frowned, though, as I kept flashing him with my dick as I moved around. Kate did a lot of the same exercises I did on my first day, just much better as he watched. He was assessing her abilities, I believed. It wasn't until around two-thirty that we finished.
My muscles screened at me, making the walk back to the Inn uncomfortable.
Kate and I arrived and found everyone but Tina sitting there with a green-haired gnome. "Ah, your Tina's cousin? I am Chelsea," I asked as I walked up to introduce myself.
He nodded, "Yes, I am Jack Bolton Tina's cousin on her father's side. She told me that I should take care of you as a personal favor. You are a client, though, so, of course, I will." She smiled that smile on a salesman or politician makes when greeting someone. He is a professional, I thought to myself, or a scammer. I doubt the latter or Tina would pay in the bedroom.
I smile at the thought and sit with my ladies. "So, what are you looking for?" he asks.
"I am looking for a space to rent or own that has a bit of space, for we all are warriors of different types. I need a place with a reinforced room to craft potions, preferably two s that I can switch rooms if need be, and a large living area if possible. I am not looking for unnecessary space, but I do not mind renovating to reach a livable place, but I would rather not.
I do not want lengthy renovations to make the place habitable for us. I also want a bathing place we can easily add that in later if we have to, though." I continued on as I thought of things, and I saw the light in Jack's eyes. He knew he would make gold on this. I finished, and he nodded to himself a bit.
He took out a little machine dragonfly thing and wrote a message on it before he walked outside, and the dragonfly machine flew off.
"That was just a message system our mechanics thought up since Mana messaging cannot be done by everyone. I just sent a message to my boss to notify the owner of the house we are about to go to. By the time we show up, they will be notified to let us in.
It is a bit pricey, but it should fit all your requirements." He told us and continued, "Follow me, it is in the upper area of the city like we are now; it is not a far walk."
We followed him, and around ten to fifteen minutes later, we arrived at a two-story place, and I saw two separate buildings that looked reinforced for workshops. I nodded at it. Jack started to give us a tour, and the Bedroom was large, but I didn't think large enough, but the room next door was a bedroom. We could do some renovations and make things perfect.
In the end, it fits all the requirements with a nice bath and shower. The place was almost perfect, but it will do for our needs. I decided that it was good enough, and I did a Final Mana sweep feeling the building. I noticed a basement that no one told us about filled with dust and random things. I finished my mana sweep and nodded.
It would cost three thousand gold it was had, and the Inn would cost less, but I decided that I could make it back with some work and potions. I decided to go get the paperwork done.
Jack got the paperwork drawn up in the period it took us to get to his office. I read the paperwork slowly and carefully to make sure everything was good before I signed. When I did, it became ours, and I dropped a bag of gold and counted it out down to the last silver. After a few hours to make sure the deed and everything were properly done. I smile and put down a magical seal to finish everything.
It took a little longer than I thought, and Tina was probably at the Inn waiting.
