Ch 9

I quickly explained I needed to call a conference with her and the others as soon as possible to explain and possibly start a partnership with them Syr blushing and thinking I meant some other kind of partnership rushed off. The girls soon arrived with Mia in the lead snatched me up by my collar and demand to know why I was telling Syr that I wanted to start a harem and that I better explain it well. Confusion clear on my face Mia set me down roughly as I explained what had happened last night/this morning and that I wanted to hopefully buy the building next door and pay them to do any cooking for my establishment as well and magically seal the kitchen after they closed for the night; that The Airie's new location would have its own wait staff and bar as well as dining area and that the working girls would do their business under ground so that any noise would not disturb the Hostess of Fertilities customers and that if Adventurers got to handsy they could be told to take it next door where it was slightly more welcomed that slaves would actually be able to work there way free with the exception of Oralath Dalhar who had intended to enslave me through a trap.

That on release any slave could continue to work for me as a free contractor and would be paid for their work those that did not would receive a sum of money meant to give them the chance to find alternative work and without being immediately homeless. Other than that I would like to continue as before. That makes more sense and I am glad you actually intend to set slaves free with your establishment and that you want to maintain the Hostess of Fertility's security otherwise I would beat you black and blue and throw you out. Mia said as she looked at Oralath Dalhar with clear disappointment. Soon the girls had voted unanimously in favor of my plan which had shocked me.

After a few hour of rest I took all the paperwork down to the guild to be verified and go though the process of buying the building and finding a construction Familia to join the two buildings by the kitchen. After all was said and done I was broke Again. Mia understood and until a month after The Airie had its grand reopening she ran a tab for me to come out of my profits. I was able to pay her back inside the week by the end of the month The Airie's reputation had begun to improve to something more like one of feudal Japan's geisha inns. Soon after that Bete turned up saying that Loki would like to see me at her manor.

Bete was very confused by his Goddesses reaction to this prospects display of temper and drunkenness even if Loki had helped the prospect to get to that point. However even he had to admit that there was no way a person of any race without a Familia would have the raw stats to move like that, which was why he had not struggled when the prospect had tied him up and hung him from the rafters like a sack of food when you go camping, and the fact no one had moved to get him down meant he may have actually deserved that with the way he sometimes carried on. So what's your method for training to move like that Bete asked seeing if he could replicate it and possibly push himself to a new level heck even if it improved his stats he would be happy he wanted the strength no the ability to prevent tragedy from striking again.

Thinking about it I am not sure if its special training; the old man that taught me had me do a lot of regular farm chores but he did have me doing them in odd ways at first I had thought he was making fun of me but eventually I realized much to my shame he had been teaching me how to fight without my knowing, I learned this after confronting him after a few weeks he proceeded to call out the chore that contained the motions as he attacked me I was exhausted and instinctively moved after that I did the chores with increasingly heavy weights after awhile we started sparing he always went all out with every trick he knew. I was absolute shit at first we measured my "success" in how long it took me to be knocked down, then it became how long till I managed to even touch him, and then when it had been nearly a decade we began to count how many times we "killed" each other.

His reason for never going easy on me was that no enemy on any battle field would ever take it easy on me if I did not learn how to recognize some one with greater skill or power and how to trick them into showing me openings then it was my fault I failed as a warrior as a Samurai. I truly admire the old man I owe him much for helping me learn how to keep my own hide in one piece hell he even made it so I had a future, I just needed to reach out and embrace it... some times that is very hard. I told Bete. Obviously that training was extreme and that it would certainly push someone to grow but it sounded like there where still things being hidden but maybe it would be worth a shot Bete thought to himself as he walked leading the prospect to the Twilight Manor.
