Aaron frowned at the pungent smell of blood which lingered after the 20 Mice were removed before deciding to leave the basement too.

However, this time he was grinning widely because all it'd take him is to kill 80 or so more Fuzzy-Phosphorus Mice before Leveling-UP once again.

Oddly enough his expression quickly shifted once he realized two things.

The first is, he doesn't have anything more to look forward to achieving or gaining from the System since the Skill-Branch related to his Class on the Skill-Tree is fully unlocked with not a single leaf left for him to unlock.

The second is, his expenditure is increasing since now he's paying both Betty and old geezer Todd who became so much livelier and energetic today after receiving Aaron's mercy when he decided to sacrifice a bottle of All-Cure Potion!

*Sigh*

The kid sighed before mumbling to himself : "I guess I have no choice but to keep Leveling-UP while upgrading my Skills, now I'm feeling even more proud of myself since helping Sera was the right course of action after all.

"Gaining access to the Skill-Branch and having been allowed to use and upgrade the Neutral-Class Skills, is at least going to make me have something to look forward to getting my hands on.

"Honestly I bet I would've been bored to death if all I had to do is kill Mice just because they might be my only stable source for Experience.

"Meh. At least the bastards are profitable, not to mention that there's a lot of them.

"Now that I think about it... Sera must've chased away the bastards somehow with her Soul power when we were at the massive cave, oh sweet Sera and her lovely tit-" He suddenly stopped saying more once a shadow covered him from behind once Sherry hulked over him and waited for him to finish the sentence.

Aaron scratched his head before pointing towards the swimming pool which is currently being filled with water and looked almost half-full already while adding : "Ssswimming in the pool, let's go!"

"Young master Ron." The teenager girl ran after the kid who escaped after getting himself found out by this sharp-eared and extremely jealous maid of his.

Sherry followed after Aaron who ran into the bathroom to change into something more comfortable to swim in, of course he made sure to buy a two-pieces swimming suit for his maid and used his power of "Obedience" bestowed upon him by the System to orally force her to wear it.

'I wonder how many jealous earthlings would there be if they witnessed my powers as a "Host".

'Humph! I'd tell them then to : "Imagine me using this same power in the future."

'Then smirk and enjoy watching them die inside in silence while laughing inside.

'Then surprise them by playing MJ's song "I'm Bad~" and start dance inside while laughing.' He left the bathroom while having these thoughts.

"I'm Bad~" Aaron started singing the song loudly and dancing then attempted to moonwalk a few times and failed miserably.

Which made Sherry, who was feeling shy wearing these extremely revealing clothes, focus on him instead of caring about looking around her to check the reactions on the faces of the people on the construction site when they see her wearing such "Unique" attire!

Moments later when the kid started to become courageous and include her in his dancing routine the teenager girl started to smile and actually have fun instead of being reserved for no reason at all.

"Stop!" Aaron stopped at the edge of the pool then turned to face Sherry.

"What?"

The kid seriously looked at her and asked : "Answer me this."

The teenager girl answered similarly in the same manner of seriousness : "Okay!"

"Are you Sherry daughter of Scadur the annoying... Ready for the experience of a lifetime today?" Aaron kept it with the flat, deep, and oddly magnetic tone of voice while similarly keeping his expression flat intentionally to make it hard for Sherry to read his intentions.

Indeed the teenager girl mentally struggled for a short while and failed to find any reason why they're having this serious-looking conversation in the first place.

Especially when the kid relied on words which would usually be taken as him trying to be sarcastic in different situation.

Not to mention the suspense which he clearly is trying to create in the moments when Aaron stretched his words for no reason and paused to give her the window and opportunity to think and maybe mistake him.

'Is he being annoying like big sister Manji does when she's trying to miss with me?' Sherry thought before raising her guard, instead of lashing out the girl ignored the insult towards her dad and nodded.

Simply because her anger is much less inside her in contrast to curiosity!

'I can always get angry after knowing what he really means! So stupid of me!' Sherry had this realization and felt proud of herself.

Certainly the kid would've slapped her tits if he heard these thoughts before looking at the sky and starts shouting : "What kind of logic was that? Girl, the turn of events in your thoughts is ridiculous!"

"Come brave daughter of Scadur the annoying, never blink an eye because in the entirety of Pine-Breeze Village and the whole continent probably even the whole world in the truest of senses... you'll never behold a miracle like this one. Even if you were the luckiest beauty who ever lived!" Aaron held Sherry's hand and led her to stand next to him before pointing towards the other side of the swimming pool while saying : "Look brave daughter! Just like the sayings of old foretold."

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

Sherry was entranced by the theatrical act from the kid and the layers of mystery and suspense he added to the mix with the words depicting so-called miracles, beauty, and luck!

The teenager ignored what her eyes were seeing and asked : "What did these sayings say?"

The kid was finally taking the chance given to him to smile while saying : "With a pool... you can dive into endless summer!" Afterwards he pushed her into the water while quickly adding : "Now dive!"

"Wh-"

*Splash*

Pio and Lucas were standing within range to hear the conversation especially with the theatrical performance their young master played, lots and lots of the workers were following it happen especially with the kid actually raising his voice slightly during his performance!

"Hahahahaha..."

They both laughed then the workers followed and the teenager girl blushed deeply from embarrassment before making a few strokes to reach the edge to catch Aaron but he already beat her into it and jumped into the pool like a cannonball while smiling widely which splashed her face with a thick wave of water.

"Young master!" Sherry thought she could effortlessly catch Aaron since he's in the water but he smiled once his head came out of the water before actually Teleporting about a meter or so back and 3 meters high!

"Said dive!"

*Splash*

"You!" The teenager girl was fuming after trying and losing twice.

"Should dive?" The kid smiled again once his head got out of the water before asking ever so innocently which annoyed Sherry a lot.

*Snort*

She just decided to ignore him for now because interacting with him further is going to annoy her more is all.

"I'm going to sleep for a while, you guys watch the timer." Aaron swam towards Sherry then let the water carry his weight and floated on the water before closing his eyes at the sight of the clear sky above, maybe not so clear because there's signs of some clouds with the faint color of light-green west of the Village!

That day Aaron woke up then had another go at the Mice and this time his opponent in the competition was Manji instead of Roger who watched the fun happen while puckering his lips and mumbling how unfair it's for him not to receive a weapon like his woman did when she didn't participate in the competition.

Of course the muscular big guy raised his voice just enough for the kid to hear him.

The woman was grinning smugly afterwards since she accomplished a better result than Roger thanks to her cool new toys.

Manji actually killed 4 Mice and the reason her kill-count is low because her aim wasn't perfect and most of her strikes didn't find the vitals of her targets.

The reason Sherry's kill-count is high despite her lack of experience using the pair of Claws is because Aaron was making sure to mind his positioning during the massacre that happened to the group of poor Mice, since both of them are ranged then things could get dangerous if he happened to stand in between her and her targets... his fate would be miserable indeed if such a scenario happened.

Especially when he's the one who provided Manji with the weapon and the tools used as ammunition for it!

Afterwards Aaron decided to satisfy Roger's request and bought him a pair of Gauntlets with a shoulder-length sleeves made from delicate-looking chainmail which wouldn't hinder the arm movement when he swings to strike with his new weapon while providing decent defense to the rest of his hands above the Gauntlets.

Steel Gauntlets (Male-Common) Required Level 0 Required Class Any Physical Defense +4 Parry +3 Number of Upgrades 5 Tradability Tradeable Refunded For 1 Gold Notes Steel Gauntlets receive Physical Defense +1 when the shoulder-sleeve chainmail attachment is on.

'The chainmail already had double as much Physical-Defense as my Black Work Gloves are giving me without the attachment on.

'With it on things are only going to get worse for Roger's opponent with the special addition of Parry which is going to make his defensive game even more better.

'But with this pair of Knuckles on top of the Gauntlets he received... He and Manji would make such a deadly Duo if they co-ordinate their attack pattern if she made her aim better.' Aaron thought while looking at the details of the weapons in his hand.

Steel Knuckler (Unisex-Common) Required Level 0 Required Class Any Required Basic-Attributes Strength +20, Vitality +15, Agility +10 Attack Speed Fast (Stage 8) Physical Attack +42 Number of Upgrades 7 Tradability Tradeable Refunded For 1 Gold Notes When Equipped with Steel Gauntlets Shock-Resistance +4.

"Here big guy, try these on and see if they fit your hands." Aaron tossed them towards Roger who salivated like a dog ever since he saw his weapons appear, the muscular man was only missing a tail in this scene... quite literally!

"Thanks little Ron," Roger said while feeling overwhelmed by gratitude, "I really owe you this time."

Aaron smiled once he saw Sherry nudge her big sister Manji and point with her chin as if to say : "See! That's what you should've done earlier, you acted like a shameless beggar."

Of course Manji rolled her eyes at her "Bitch" little sister before raising her head proudly as if to answer : "Only a dog would act like a dog silly! Even shameless beggars are better than whatever "That" is."

"That you do big guy, better show me your true colors when the time comes." The kid lazily turned to leave after saying that.

"Just say when." Roger also left after carrying a Mouse on his shoulder.

When he returned to the area where his temporary kitchen is located to get another meal, Aaron was in an excellent mood because his Exp bar is almost half-way already.

Meanwhile Sen had already sent two boxes of Gold Coins with Roger and Manji earlier, which is the amount this kid earned from selling the bones and fur from the Mice he gave the house of Chief Peter yesterday.

So far things are looking good for him and his pockets are probably going to get filled another time with Gold Coins before dark, simply because Aaron heard a lot of the workers talking about the time the butcher is going to start selling the meat after finishing cutting and weighing the portions!

'Sex is worshipped in this Village baby and "Oresama" is their "God" which is generous and compassionate enough to provide them with the tools of ultimate passion!'
