"Young master... young master Ron... Wake up! It's been 30 Minutes." Sherry gently rubbed a finger on the kid's cheek while softly calling him back from deep and comfortable sleep.
"Oh!"
Aaron lazily opened his eye a crack before checking his HP bar, it was near full but the effect from the Extreme Red Potion was already gone so he only has a bit more than 4 Minutes before his HP bar empties completely in his sleep!
*Rumble*
The teenager girl rubbed his belly while feeling sad for his agony, "Also your stomach kept making these loud and rowdy noises which made me feel extremely worried for you."
The kid nodded and patted her hand while saying : "Alright, stop worrying! Everything is going to be just fine, just make sure that Ron and Lucas wouldn't forget about having to wake me up at the right time if I'm asleep." Afterwards he bought a Candied-Apple and munched it before going over Sherry's soft body and climbing out of bed.
Of course he winked at her and smiled mischievously when his hand fell on her chest and gave it a couple of gentle squeezes!
The teenager girl watched him walk towards the kitchen while thinking : 'Am I being confused or does young master Ron look a little bit taller than before?' Seconds later the girl was turning in bed while smiling shyly after remembering how the kid fondled her breast just earlier with a naughty and wicked smile on his face.
"Good job you guys! Let me help with all of this because you really, really look like you need the extra space." Aaron rubbed his hands together at the sight of delicious-smelling food, before storing them inside his Inventory Space then taking a seat at the table which has an array of various plates with different types of food on them.
Betty and old man Todd exchanged a smile once they saw the kid nodding repeatedly while giving them the thumbs up gesture after trying each plate.
Actually the methods of preparing most of these dishes was actually quite for two expert cooks like them, the only challenge they faced was the type of spices added and from which kind.
'Thankfully my memory is way better compared to how it used to back on earth! I guess these Ability Points added to the Intelligence and Wisdom Attributes aren't wasted, but I'm glad I remembered all these different recipes which I happened to see or hear on mom's favorite show during dinners.' Aaron thought while eating his meal and keeping tabs on his HP bar.
'So far I'm not going to have any trouble surviving the day and getting through tomorrow with the money I have on me but these Gold Coins aren't going to last me the week not to mention two more!
'It's going to take Arturo more than two months before he gets back, I need to find quicker method to gain money and I need to do it fast.
'The food and drinks I'm getting isn't going to help me recover much, and judging by how much difference there's after Betty and geezer Todd made me meals with ingredients bought from the System... It looks like I'm supposed to rely on the Store and keep it that way because it makes more sense that way.
'Otherwise there'd be no reason for it to exist in the first place.
'I also need to get my hands on more of the "Rare Materials" to Upgrade the System as much as possible since it expands my Inventory Space and push down the prices in the Store which makes it even more convenient for me.
'But above all else on my priority list, I've got to Level-UP and get more Skills otherwise I wouldn't be able to protect myself if some monster suddenly decided to raid the Village for no reason at all someday!' Aaron finished his meal quickly and left the two chefs more raw ingredients to use before going out towards the bathroom.
"Oh My God... how is it possible for me to shit all that much? It doesn't even make sense! What am I supposed to say to the ones who clean after me? Damn it... this is going to be really embarrassing to explain for sure! I better talk to Cassandra and have her work on the sewage-system right now or at least install some pipes to make it easier for me to just flush it away without anybody having to see this shameful yet terribly-terrifying and traumatizing scene.
*Sniff* *Sniff*
"Oh My God... I stink! This is so disgusting! I'm disgusting!" The kid sniffed his clothes and almost couldn't breathe when he smelled the pungent and nauseating odor of his armpits.
Aaron opened the Store Menu and bought himself a bar of soap, then hesitated for a few seconds between Body Wash or Shower Gel before buying one of each!
Shampoo found its way to his shopping basket with a Brush, a bottle of Perfume, a Loofah, a pair of ultra-soft anti-slipping super-comfortable Slippers, and finally a Bathrobe.
Then he bought Detergent Gel and Scent Boosters to rid his clothes of this obnoxious smell.
"Damn! This Upgraded System makes me feel like I'm surfing the internet searching for stuff to order, this one is much more convenient though." The kid muttered while exiting the bathroom and the cabin while pinching his nose because he doesn't want to smell his own stink anymore, quite honestly he wanted to burn the whole cabin to hide the "Crime" which happened earlier in that bathroom.
Seeing Cassandra supervising the workers which stacked blocks of bricks to build the wall, Aaron immediately walked towards her but he made sure to keep his distance because that would make her uncomfortable for sure.
Even the poor stray dog which kept following him everywhere he went in the Village after the mistake he made someday of throwing it a bone, that bitch whined once she got a taste of his stinky smell and tucked its tail between its legs before moving away!
"You look troubled." The middle-aged woman noticed the black cloud looming over the boy's expression and asked while tilting her head and smiling slightly.
'Yeah! I am troubled... But I smell much worse than that.' The kid thought while scratching his head because he's currently too embarrassed to even think about anything else besides taking a nice bath, "Erm... Listen... C-can you... Uh... C-can you please- uh..."
"Aaah!..." Right when Aaron was struggling and stammering in front of Cassandra yet unable to translate his thoughts into words without making a complete fool out of himself, "What the fuck happened in here? Did someone die in young master Ron's bathroom?" Pio's voice could be heard before the young man came running from the cabin only to gag at the door before emptying the content of his stomach!
"Yuck! The smell... Eww!" Sherry jumped from the window to exit the cabin because she couldn't stand walking towards the door through this revolting smell.
Cassandra looked at the kid who kept shrinking as if wishing to disappear, "Does that have anything to do with "whatever" you wanted me to do?"
Aaron just nodded while murmuring : "Maybe I should've burned the bloody thing when I had the chance."
"Help! We're stuck in the kitchen... Stay with me old man... He's out! I don't think I can carry him out on my own." Betty's voice could be heard coming from the kitchen, apparently she barricaded the door once the smell reached them!
Unfortunately for her and the geezer which fainted because he's the grandfather of a sissy and the reason these bloody genes spread in the first place, the window in the kitchen is quite high and too small for a grown-up to use them to escape.

'Would that nasty smell catch fire? I bet that deep shit of mine is flammable!' The kid thought while shaking his head before activating both of his Defensive-Skills plus Recovery and Nimble-Feet, 'Thankfully I already bought some Detergent and Scent Boosters, Pio... that fucking bastard making my life harder once again.' Then he entered the cabin to get the chefs out before shit gets real for real.
Unaware that both Cassandra and Sherry were looking at him with admiration after seeing a lack of hesitation in his actions.
Especially the teenager girl who actually got to experience the nasty smell.
'He's so courageous! Young master Ron is really the best.'
"No! Young ma- Blurgh!..." Pio tried to stop Aaron from entering the cabin but his body forced him to keep going what he was doing seconds before.
Aaron pushed the door but it refused to budge, then he could hear Betty removing things from the door and opening it a small crack.
He used the opportunity to push the door open before slipping inside and quickly closing the door.
"What are we going to d-"
Aaron stopped Betty with a gesture of his hand before storing everything that's going to be of use and keeping them in his Inventory Space, afterwards he gestured for Betty to come close and hide next to him then retrieved his Staff and fired an Energy Bolt Skill at the wooden wall.
Then he grabbed old geezer Todd's leg and dragged him behind him while walking towards the exit which he just created!
The middle-aged woman was shocked after seeing what happened and wanted to cheer the kid or thank him but honestly he smelled bad and the air around him was just too serious.
Rather than saying anything she might regret, Betty focused on helping poor old man Todd raise his head because something might've happened to him if he hit it on a rock or something.
"Manji! What are you doing here?" Betty asked once they got out and she saw her friend.
The woman wasn't alone, Roger was also there with some of his Elite hunting team.
But all of them were covered in dirt and saw-dust with a bit of wood fragments scattered in between.
Clearly the kid's earlier trick caused all of that... Collateral-damage!
*Tsk*
Betty almost laughed when she saw her friend click her tongue and pat her body to clean her clothes, but her hair needed some work because it was literally a mess.
"Wait! Little Ron... Come on! At least hear me out..." Roger followed after the boy who didn't seem interested in him or his group and not even willing to apologize after almost killing them all just earlier while they were actually trying to help.
"I'm busy, you better make it quick big guy." Aaron said while circling the cabin to make sure nobody is standing anywhere near it.
Roger smiled and patted the kid on his shoulder while saying : "I hear you can summon Fuzzy-Phosphorus Mice, why not let me and my team take care of them for you?"
'Summon! Is that what they think I'm doing?' He thought while activating the Flame Orb Skill and targeting the cabin.
*Boom* *Crackle*
Aaron smiled while watching the cabin Tylus built for him burn before opening his mouth to say, "Your team are carrying the carcasses of the Mice "I" killed yet you're here to ask me to let "You" and your "Team" take care of them for me, don't you have any shame? I'm capable of taking care of these rodents on my own just fine... thank you." Then he walked away toward the area where his pool is located because this is where there's enough water for him to take a bath and wash his clothes!
Roger smiled widely and followed the kid while saying : "We're borrowing them from you because we really need the fur and bones of these beasts, of course we're going to return all the meat to you once we finish deboning the carcasses... But don't be stingy and invite this old friend to some of it when old man Todd and Betty cooks the meat for you."
"Just say you need the fur and the bones if you are and stop it with all the shamelessness already, I might allow it this time but next time I'm expecting to get paid for what's mine! You guys are not the only ones running short on resources in this Village." The kid retorted before taking his clothes off and throwing them in a wooden barrel then pouring some from the Detergent on them before filling it with water.
He also tossed one of the Scent Boosters in the water.
"Sure, sure... it's fair that way." The tall and muscular guy nodded while sniffing at the water in the wooden barrel where the boy left his clothes and tilted his head to the side in confusion because despite his experience in the wilderness and seeing all sorts of special ingredients, weird materials, and unique herbs... he still couldn't recognize the smell.
"About that meat. Is it any good?" The kid used some of the water to wash his skin before using the bar of soap to rub his body.
Roger sat down and looked towards Sherry who stood to the side and blushed whenever he looked towards her, it made him frown deeply while wondering at a loss what's going on here in this situation!
'This little girl is usually so serious and acts like Manji back in the days when she behaved like men!' The big guy thought so and smiled but a second later he saw Manji's face staring back at him with a smile that wasn't a smile on her face... it made him feel a cold shiver crawl down on his spine.
"Uh! Yeah, Fuzzy-Phosphorus Mice' meat is top-class stuff. There's a lot of potential for the meat whenever it hits the market but I hear there's always very short supply and much higher demand." Roger explained once he saw the boy wash the white bubbly layer off of his skin before adding another material on his hair then using a different colored material to rub his skin everywhere before jumping to soak in one of the cleaner wooden barrels.
Aaron looked at him before looking around while wondering why is there an audience while he's taking a bath exactly! "You say the meat from these Mice is top-class, that's all good and fine but... What does it do exactly? Does it make our bodies stronger and much healthier like the meat from the Twilight-Deer's Solar-Heart?" He asked while gesturing for Sherry to come closer before handing her the Loofah and showing her how to use it on his back.
Roger twisted his lips while looking at Manji, he really seemed like he's asking her for help but she just smiled widely and enjoyed watching him struggle.
"Well... You see... When you grow older... There comes a time where... Your body changes... Y-you know! That's when... Your body is... Going to require... Certain methods of relief... Y-you know! That's when... Your body is... Going to seek... The opposite kind... Y-you know!"
*Bffft*
Finally Manji couldn't take it anymore and laughed while slapping her thigh repeatedly.
Sherry was keeping her head low while stifling her laughter but she did well in hiding her face behind the back of her young master.
Aaron smiled before saying : "You mean to tell me that meat from these Mice actually enhances men's performance during the "Night" when they "Engage" in these sorts of "Activities"? That's why it's considered top-class stuff?"
Roger pointed at him while answering : "That's it! Exactly it... be it size, girth, or duration. This precious meat covers all of the important areas! Some men even praise it for giving them enough confidence to try moves which they never dared to use before."
*Snort*
Manji shook her head before saying : "Stop listening to this idiot for a minute and hear me out."
Aaron nodded, "Go ahead."
"Actually this meat is useful for both genders because it enhances our constitution and increases reproduction abilities, of course males do enjoy some benefits which are actually controllable when the meat is cooked in certain ways but females do also enjoy certain benefits." The woman spoke while taking a seat on the big guy's lap, she even gave Sherry a teasing smile when their eyes met.
"How do you control size, girth, or the time of ejaculation?" The kid seemed really interested when he asked.
Manji leaned her head on her man and got her body in a comfortable position in his embrace before answering : "Boil it for size, cook it in fat for thickness, and roast it in coal if you wish to last longer!" Afterwards she kissed her man's cheek and muttered : "Don't worry big guy. You don't need any of that filthy meat, or is your wish to split me in half tonight?"
Aaron shook his head after seeing this woman expertly manipulate her man while the idiot grinned so smugly and thought : 'Yeah. You're absolutely right. This dude is definitely suffering from a deficiency in the total count of brain-cells because it's well below average! But this might be the opportunity for me to get my hands on enough money quickly to solve my issues.'
"You said everything about what this meat does to us men, you still didn't say anything about what it does to women." He said while raising his arms up for Sherry to use the Loofah on his sides.
Manji squinted her eyes once she saw her little friend help this kid in the bath so naturally as if they didn't meet just a few hours ago!
For some reason this scene annoyed the woman a lot.
First because she doesn't know what caused Sherry's attitude to change so much.
Second because it kind of scared her to see what this kid's capable of doing to a person she's known practically all of her life.
Third because she had this urge to protect the teenager girl from this boy but she helpless in how is she going to do that!
'He doesn't seem like he's holding Sherry against her will or anything like that, is he controlling her mind?' Despite all these confusing thoughts and ideas, this woman actually giggled and covered her mouth while saying : "Teheheh... young master Ron. Don't you know that a lady has to keep her secrets!"
Aaron nodded before saying : "Fair enough," Afterwards he turned look at the teenager girl rubbing his body with the Loofah and asked : "Tell me Sherry. What's the benefits of that Mice meat?"
Under Manji's shocked expression, Sherry actually blushed and stole a glance towards her before opening her mouth to say : "Young master... I-if we eat that meat boiled we get wet all the time... I-if we eat it cooked in fat we become tighter... A-and if we eat it roasted in coal we climax more."
'So quick!' Manji thought while staring in shock at the kid's devilish smile when he looked at her, 'That poor girl is a lost case, I lost... I lost so miserably to this brat and he knows that he won, no-wonder he's acting all smug. This little traitor bitch stabbed me in the back!'
