“Are you sure you want to train for full plate mail?” Reina looked concerned. “Isn’t that big and heavy and hides all your muscles?”

She squeezed my bicep to punctuate her point. “I think maybe some nice studded leather armor or even chain would be nearly as effective without hiding your cute butt.”

She blushed as she looked at my backside.

Oh sweetheart, look all you want, I already do the same.

Being out in the meadow with the sun directly overhead had it’s benefits when your waifu wore a thin cotton sun dress.

The sweat on her glistening skin had soaked through the fabric, making it see through, her dark brown nipples clinging sumptuously to the fabric.

It was hard to take my eyes off them, but she didn’t seem to mind. In fact when I looked she seemed to puff her chest out more for me to get a better look. Or maybe she was just oblivious to her breasts on display?

Whatever it was, I was okay with it, but I had already made my decision. “Plate mail it is.”

I found the booth rather easy. It was on the end of the row, right next to a pile of rocks. The woman, Grazyna, was another full-figured woman, but this time she was all muscle. Her cream skin set off against her fiery red hair and orange freckles on her face.

“Well, I’ll be, I don’t get much attention these days, but it’s nice to know that some people still understand the value of a solid set of armor. I’m afraid I cannot give you a full suit of armor, but I can give you greaves if you do a favor for me.”

Plate Mail:

Grazyna, the Stalwart wants you to move a pile of rocks from the recent slide back up to the top of the hill. It may be tiresome and meaningless work, but some good should come out of it, right?

Reward: 150 XP. Skill Increase: Shields Level 1! Reputation with the Territory Garrison increased by 150.

I set right to work, picking up stones, starting with the larger ones, and trudged them up the hill, stacking them on a pallet at the top. As I did the work, Grazyna and Reina spoke to each other, holding hands and giggling like school girls while I sweated with each rock.

It was an honor to watch them enjoying themselves. I was their protector, their provider. I gladly gave of myself for their comfort. It brought immense joy to my heart knowing that my sacrifice gave a solid and tangible benefit to the lovely ladies of this Eastern Garrison.

When I finally finished, I sat at the top of the hill and watched as the sun was beginning to come down to the west.

Reina waved at me from the bottom of the hill. “Good job, Yazen! Your greaves are here when you are ready! Do you need some water?”

I put a single thumb up into the air. “I would love some, thank you.”

Reina bobble dup and down for a moment before scampering off to fetch me some water.

Yes, I was loving this game.
