Chapter 99: Delinquent Vs Rank F Slimes
Ryuji and Liana looked at the quest board together. Both seemed quite interested in the differt quests and rewards.
"Hey, Ryuji~ can I have some money?" Yumiko's sweet voice sounded as she slipped her hand into his chest oping. The next momt, she pulled out a small sack of coins that jingled. "Love you~ I'll get you something, too, hehe."
This sack wasn't Ryuji's money, but a small sack with just under a gold coin in silver, small silver and copper coins. That he used for daily expses and shared with Yumiko. He looked at her hand and ignored her taking it because he found that the quests were too fantastical.
"Hunt the wolverine infestation - Rank C, and the reward is five gold pieces and a mana crystal. Hey, Lia, what's a mana crystal?" Ryuji noticed that, unlike him, dealing with the harder quests and thinking about the future.
"Ah... it's a crystal used to upgrade a weapon or armour with the help of a blacksmith." Her voice seemed to be unfocused as she knelt below Ryuji.
All the quests look so interesting. Oh? Lia seems to be doing something interesting.
Lia was collecting the various Rank F quests and started examining them as if to find the most efficit bounty. "Hmmm, goblins do give a modest fee, but they are quite disgusting and like to show their disgusting things wh females are a... These slimes are annoying, but the only clothes they will melt are Ryuji's hehe... I want to see his chest again while he cries for my magic to save him!"
This princess is truly a damn witch! I was going to be easy on her!
Ryuji's hand wrapped a her waist, the sudd ssation causing her to jump and look at Ryuji with wided eyes, his hand slipping down to her oversized, squishy rump. "Oh, the princess has such an amazing S-Rank ass." He leaned close to her ears, whispering while his hand squeezed and caressed her.
"Nn... stop... you damn....ha...!"
The princess covered her mouth after making an erotic sound, her eyes looking at Ryuji with tears welling up, yet he couldn't help but find her ev more alluring. "Why are you so lovely, Lia?"
Her eyes glared at him, yet she grasped his arm, her hot breath blowing down his arm as she placed her forehead against it. "Idiot... it's strange, don't touch my ass... Kathryn will kill you... fool."
Ryuji couldn't help but take her half seriously, her hips now rubbing against his hand while she buried her face into his chest, attracting the eyes of several members of the guild. "Let's hunt those slimes. I'll throw you into them and tease you once you're naked." However, there was another sce more interesting for the bored advturers.
"Woah! She downed that pint in a few seconds!"
"Damn, this beastkin is too strong!"
"Ehehe~ Ryuji, I got some beer for free!"
Ryuji looked back and gave a half-smile, his hand moving from Liana's buttocks to her waist while she panted against his chest. The next momt, Yumiko's heavy body slammed into him.
Thankfully, his strgth allowed him to catch her easily as she carried three large mugs full of fruity-scted mead. Her breath smelt of strong ale before she kissed his lips. Her tongue pressed betwe them with a wet and slimy ssation. Yet he wasn't to be defeated by such a ploy.
He took hold of her waist and oped his mouth, sliding his tongue against hers and tasting the remnants of the liquid in her mouth.
That resulted in her becoming more feisty, her teeth nibbling his tongue, sucking on it while his hands wandered down to her buttocks, which seemed to have become slightly firmer.
"Nn... aah..." She sighed with her eyes closed, her eyes wet and dreamy, yet it was clear she was extremely drunk, her movemts not matching her desire.
"Stop being a little pervert, and sit down." Ryuji lifted both Liana and Yumiko with either hand and placed them both down.
"Ouch! Don't drop me, damn brute!" Liana immediately protested after being treated roughly, her crimson hair tussled up, with bright red cheeks, and her azure eyes glisting like jewels. Yumiko just wrapped a his arm while he made sure the mugs landed on the table wh she nearly dropped them all.
"Give me more..." She whimpered like a lost kitt. "It tastes really nice...."
Liana shook her head while Ryuji moved two mugs away from Yumiko, the barmaid giving him a wink as he gave a bitter smile, his hand grasping the mug and placing it to his lips. "I can still taste Yumiko..." He whispered before chugging the tire pink, the frothy top delicious and sweet, followed by a stout body with hints of citrus and a deep taste.
"This damn idiot, drinking so much alcohol like water.... nn...idiot!" Liana took a sip from her mug before she finally became quite timid and grabbed Ryuji's arm. Her eyes wided upon drinking the beer as if it were a little differt from how she imagined the taste.
Ryuji, feeling the two holding him, had no other choice but to grab the quest poster from Liana and choose the slime one. He th sat down and ded up waiting for the two to drink their alcohol; he noticed that, like Yumiko, it seemed Liana was quite the lightweight.
***
An hour or two later, Ryuji finally got the two wom to recover. Though Yumiko seemed to be weaker to alcohol, it seemed to be a racial trait of many beastkin. Rumours said, bear and rabbit types could drink a large amount of alcohol with ease.
[Rank - F Quest Started!]
[0/7 Water Slimes Killed]
Liana didn't seem too affected, but her resistance was weak, and she was clinging to Ryuji like Yumiko was. The trio stood at the ctral trance of the city, which was quite close to the rumoured infestation of slimes in an old mill.
"So, slimes are the weakest monsters found in this region. They are transpart balls of water mixed with mana, and they attack by throwing their bodies at their targets. However, it seems that their bodies have a gel-like ure and are resistant to bludgeoning and cutting attacks. Though they are weak to magic." Liana puffed out her chest while the party walked towards the distant mill.
Ryuji tilted his head at this information. The formation of his axe was complex. "I wonder if these slimes can help upgrade my axe to the next level."
Liana looked at him before sighing, "Do not expect too much. Though it is true slimes are very weak monsters, it is not recommded to hunt them unless you have a dect mage or need elixirs desperately."
"I see..." Ryuji th pointed forward and oped his mouth, calling out the shape of the magic he imagined.
—Firestorm!
"Nn... Wait? Did I cast it properly?"
From Ryuji's extded hand, a large circular disc appeared with the raging flames of a volcanic firestorm in the ctre, several metres wide before it expanded, swirling like a vortex and landed on the floor below the group of sev slimes. It took a momt before the strange magic circle exploded in a black flaming swirl of flames.
Bang!
A quake and loud explosion followed before the pop of slimes echoed. His magic killed the tire group of slimes and incinerated them, causing Ryuji's mouth to op as he stood there, surprised by the outcome.
[Rank - F Quest Completed!]
[7/7 Water Slimes Killed]
Liana nodded her head while Yumiko quickly placed her hand against her forehead and looked at Ryuji.
"Ryuji, wh did you become a mage!?" She cried out.
Ryuji laughed at her cute antics while he clapped his hands. The next momt, a gtle cloud of rain started pouring down on his flames, dousing them and revealing several shining orbs and crystals on the g.
Liana looked at Ryuji. His single spell finished their tire quest... Her fingertips crackled with lightning, ready to show her speciality, but wh she looked at him, he winked at her before taking out a second quest...
It was the Rank-F Goblin quest.
"What are you worried about? Those orbs can help with upgrading my axe." He replied while lifting his axe and walking towards the goblin hunting quest.
Ryuji didn't mind her doubts. He also planned to help improve her bronze gauntlets and grieves. He did not know how his axe would improve, but he remembered Liana mtioned how the orb could upgrade it with a blacksmith's help.
He picked up all the orbs and placed them into his item ring. "Let's head a little to the west, the quest said the goblins are spread throughout the forest and that mountain range, there must be a cave nearby."
