"Don't worry, Tula. I won't leave my little sister alone and doing nothing. Please take care of Plow, both day and night. Didn't I hear you ask to have Plow sleep with you? Well, now you can." Vincent tried to change the subject after mentioning his plan to find a room to rent. A temporary place that can be abandoned at a moment's notice if his secret gets ever discovered.
*Pho!* "No! Plow wants to sleep on bed!" Plow complained next.
*Sigh* "It's only for a few days. I need to get used to this city and make money to live here, maybe buy somewhere close." Vincent tried to comfort Plow next.
*Knock, knock*
"Guests, we have arrived. " The driver knocked on the small closed hatch next to the driver seat and announced their arrival before he started slowing down.
Not long after everyone exited the luxurious carriage, they watched the comfy ride leave out of their sight. Next was Vincent's, Ester's, and Lupa's turn to go. Tula waved and cheerfully held a sad Plow between her arms.
Beside Tula were her twin brothers preparing to head home. Lenn and Renn were admiring Vincent even more now. Ingrained in both their minds were how Vincent acted around nobles in a vast mansion and also the exquisite feast they ate.
The twins then both looked at their sister and the cute plump unhappy Plow. A smiled arched on their face while looking at the two polar opposite expressions. One was feeling happy and cheerful, while the other was feeling sad and grumpy.
"Let's go inside, elder sister. Teacher Vincent will come back. And Plow, my elder sister, will take good care of you. " Lenn tried to comfort his sister and Plow.
"Elder sister, teacher Vincent got some reward money from a noble. Maybe he wants to buy his fiancees a romantic dinner. Also, we can help elder sister take care of Plow." Renn added.
"But Plow want's warm bed! Plow want's Plow bed! *Pho!*" Plow grumpily complained. However, she couldn't move with the large amount of delicious meat she ate. Her belly was full and round.
"I can be your new warm bed, hehe. Mommy will like to sleep with Plow too, hehe." Tula kissed Plow on her forehead and started whistling with a grin.
Nevertheless, Plow still complained from time to time. She didn't want to sleep on anyone other than Vincent. Like an animal imprinting its parent... imprinting its bed, Plow wasn't too happy with the outcome. She wanted to go with Vincent.
*Adventurers Guild*
A woman suddenly frowned after she saw her catch getting taken before she could. The woman didn't want to lose, so she decided to fight for her catch.
"What! You bring two women with you and ask me where to find a place to sleep? I'm offended by your behavior towards me after everything we did together and the great time we enjoyed in each other's company! Didn't you say you were going to see me again and take me out for a wonderful night? " The lewd receptionist girl said to try and make Vincent feel guilty. She also wanted to shoo the two women accompanying Vincent with words that work both on night escorts and lovers.
"My mate... can I kill this human? I don't like her!" Lupa cracked her knuckles while a deep angered frown contorted on her face.
"You see, sister. This is why I tell you to have manners and not act horny all the time. You don't want to act like this bitch, do you?" For the first time, Ester became angry to the point of insulting another person.
Her words shocked Vincent and Kazumi. Both didn't think the shy and reserved Ester could be this fierce. Maybe a side of her she had to suppress while living in Tival Village is finally getting out as she gradually regains her confidence.
"Bitch? Me? Why don't you go and wash clothes with that washboard chest of yours? A woman should have an abundant chest like mine. *tch!*" The receptionist girl insulted back and then arrogantly clicked her tounge. However, she didn't seem to know how much in danger she was getting into.
Lupa, "Can I kill now?"
Ester, "I will cut that big chest full of fatty waste off!"
[You better stop your girls because this isn't going to be a pleasant catfight. Blood is about to be spilled at any moment if you don't intervene.]
"AHEM!" Vincent loudly cleared his throat and placed his hands on Ester's and Lupa's hips. Then he continued, "Tell me, where can I and these two fine catches spend a good time? I need a heavy-duty bed if you know what I mean. You look experienced in this field by how you were trying to make me simp for you."
"Simp? What does that word mean?" The receptionist girl asked with a frown.
"Let's leave the advanced technical words alone. Now, could you please do your job and inform our team of three E Rank adventurers if there is a nearby place to stay in?" Vincent continued with a poker face.
[Hahaha. Now, this is gold! You just mentioned how you are going to sleep with Ester and Lupa. Plus, you said how would won't do any simping. This is hilarious.]
-Please stop. I don't want to blush and lose my poker face. I feel incredibly nervous right now.-
[Well, a pure boy like you...]
-Ahem...-
*Sigh* "Fine... currently, it's hard to rent a place after the emergency quest attracted a lot of adventurers. They have a lot of coins to spend between food, booze, and women. The only nearby inn with accommodations located in the south lower district should have rooms available because of their one-day-only booking policy." The receptionist girl informed with a frustrated expression. She looked as if Vincent was threatening her.
"That's great. So, how much is the price? Also, where can we find the inn?" Vincent quickly asked.
"One room costs five coppers per night. You can find the Lovers Nest Inn by going to the lower district street market and walk to the east until you find a large building with a black flag on the roof." The receptionist girl told them the location of the cheap inn.
'That's cheap! I thought it was going to cost more, but... I hope it isn't one of those you pay for what you get situation.' Vincent positively thought before he started doubting the name of the inn. 'Lovers Nest Inn... it sounds suspicious...'
"Now that I had time to think about it, how about I join in the fun? I can share with others as long as I get my share." The receptionist girl said. She smiled cheerfully to appear kind and gentle, unlike her previous devious personality.
"I'm sorry, but my hands are full." Vincent held Ester's and Lupa's waist with a firm hold and turned guided them to turn around.
"Thanks, but I don't have time for thots." Vincent was insulted as he started leading his two angry women away from the sly receptionist girl.
"What is a thot? Hey! Don't leave! I want to know!" The receptionist girl shouted, but Vincent, Ester, and Lupa left without offering so much as a gaze before leaving the adventurers guildhall.
A moment later, Vincent quickly removed his hands after leaving from the entrance door. Then, he apologized for getting handy all of a sudden.
"I did not mind my mate's hand. You can do it again if you want. " Lupa didn't seem to mind yet on her face appeared a frown. As if she was trying hard to think of something.
"I know! I know! Please do it again near Plow. That should show that little fox how much my mate likes me more than her, hehe." Lupa insisted with a wide cheeky grin on her face. Her ears cutely tingled, and her hidden tail slightly wagged.
"Fine..." Vincent lost to her perseverance. Then he looked at Ester, but she quickly turned her head in the opposite direction. It seemed she didn't want Vincent to see her face.
Vincent tried to find out if he made her angry for what he did, "Ester. Are you feeling unhappy? I'm sorry if I offended you..." but she interrupted him halfway.
"I liked it... Ahem! I think I have a speck of dust in my eye. I'm looking away because of the speck of dust. Yes, aw my eye." Ester pretended to wipe her eyes as she looked away from Vincent and Lupa. However, the curious Kazumi exited Vincent's body and took a good look.
[Wow! This is an incredible sight to see! Her face is redder than a tomato! I can barely see her face with the red hair and eyes, haha.]
*Clap* "So, girls, shall we go? And Ester, I can hold your hand if you have difficulty to see the ground." After a clap to change the subject, Vincent extended his hand and asked.
"N-no n-need." The nervously stuttering Ester cutely responded while shaking her head.
Lupa liked the idea. She wiped her face a few times and squinted her eyes. "Can my mate hold my hand? I can't see that well." Lupa cunningly said.
"Let's go then. And Lupa. You can probably follow us with your nose and ears even if it's true. You're best girl Lupa, after all, or are you not?" Vincent started walking while complementing Lupa to stop playing for attention.
Lupa raised a wide grin and stopped squinting her eyes. Shortly, she glanced at Ester and winked after their eyes met. 'I win again, hehe.' She thought.
