In the morning after the night when we washed each other with the newly-made soap, I woke up with a squeaky-clean body feeling all refreshed. Who would have thought that doing something so simple as washing yourself properly was going to have that much of a positive effect on me, both physically and mentally. But truth to be told, taking a proper bath was only one of the reasons for me waking up feeling better than ever since I have ended up here. As for the other reason
Mmm fuu *kiss*
Certainly, last night has been quite refreshing, both to me and to Roxanne for a variety of reasons. Currently she is straddling me, allowing me to feel the smoothness of her clean and polished lower body with my own lower body. The feeling is so addicting that I want to do nothing else than to grab a hold of her and hug her all day long without leaving the bed even for a minute.
She kisses me on the lips, continuing our ritual of waking me up with kisses every single day. Her lips are so soft that I feel like my tongue and the inside of my mouth are going to be melted in an instant if she continues to do it uninterrupted. It is so moist, and warm, and slimy and it slides across my own tongue as if it had a will of its own Huh? Do I realize that this has nothing to do with soap, and that it is like that by itself? Well of course I do! Its just that whenever I have an occasion to praise how good Roxanne is with her tongue, I am going to take that chance, no questions asked.
Good morning, master.
Good morning, to you as well, Roxanne. Just like you said yesterday, your skin so pleasantly smooth to the touch.
Thank you for the nice words, but that would not be possible without the soap that master created.
True. *Sigh* as much as I would like to stay like this and enjoy the feeling of your skin beside me, Im afraid we have to go back to Quratars Labyrinth in the morning. Are you all right with such course of action?
Of course. As long as it is something that master wants to do, I have no reason not to follow your decision and go with you wherever they might lead us.
As much as I did not want to do it, I had no choice but to let go of Roxanne and start to prepare myself for another long day of grinding for levels in Veils Labyrinth and hunting for Rabbit Furs in the Labyrinth of Quratar.
In this world, it has been generally agreed that the time of day universally known as evening arrives around 10:00 PM, or at least that is more or less when the candles are being lit and lamps are filled with oil. These two things are necessary if you dont want to spend the evening hours in complete darkness, and while individually they might not be all that expensive, then considering that candles and lamp oil both get used out rather quickly, so it is more than certain that you are going to have to buy more than just one or two of them, and that can be quite a costly undertaking when you take into consideration that you would have to buy enough of them for at least a few days, or perhaps even a week. Now, given our financial situation, try to guess how much candles or lamp oil I would be willing to buy. Thats right, you guessed correctly: none whatsoever, since at least for the time being they are not something that we absolutely need in order to function properly when it gets dark, since in this world there is not much to do when the sun goes down anyway, aside from hanging around taverns or having sex. Well, saying that there is not much to do is not an entirely accurate thing, but so allow me to rephrase what I just said a bit: there might or might not be much to do in the evenings, depending on which tier of society you happen to belong to.
Since we have chosen to live our lives as Adventurers for the time being, our main source of income is going to the Labyrinths and selling whatever we managed to find in there or obtain from killing monsters, we have to take an especially good care of our bodies and make sure that they are always going to be in tip-top condition if we want to avoid running into any difficulties, and I personally dont want Roxanne to overexert herself more than she has to. The burdens that I am already placing on her shoulders are quite enough, so if there is anything I can do in order to take even the smallest portion of those burdens away, then I am going to do it, even if it is something as small and insignificant as going to bed early to get as much sleep as we possibly can, waking up when it is still pitch-black outside so that we could go to the Labyrinths when there will be as few people inside them as possible.
Fighting away my drowsiness, I slowly got out of bed and looked for my change of clothes to put on. When all of our preparations were finished, I created a Warp portal to Quratars Labyrinth, and thus another day of our dungeon crawling began.
Hunting Slow Rabbits on the seventh floor here sounds, and admittedly is, a pretty repetitive undertaking, but we have no choice but to do this if we want to complete one of the small goals that Roxanne and I set for ourselves: obtain one hundred (Or even more than that, just to be safe) or more Rabbit Furs and sell them to the clothing store in Imperial City for profit. However, one hundred pelts is quite a large number, and we want to bring all of them to one of the more luxurious-looking establishments located on Imperial Citys main street, and I feel like arriving there with all of them in tow is going to cause me quite a lot of nerves. On the bright side, thanks to my access to Bonus Skills, selling such a large amount of Furs is going to be even more profitable than it would normally be, because if there is a Bonus Skill that grants a thirty percent discount when buying things, then there must also be a Bonus Skill that does the same when selling things to others.
We entered the Labyrinth and headed towards the seventh floor, where the Slow Rabbits dwelled. Instead of following the map of the floor, I allowed Roxannes nose to be our guide, since she is infinitely more reliable when it comes to detecting enemies than some scrap of paper, giving us a much higher Slow Rabbit encounter rate than every other Explorer or Adventurer could ever dream of. Luckily for us, we do not have to worry about Slow Rabbits not dropping their furs whenever they are defeated, because so far every last one of them dropped it without fail, which means that a Rabbit Fur must be their common Drop Item with one hundred percent chance to being dropped. As a result of that, we managed to get more than a hundred Rabbit Furs in no time and we will soon approach over two hundred Furs out of the initial one hundred, so I think that we might as well try and go for three hundred of them, because if we will keep up the pace at which we are currently going, then we are going to get that much without any major difficulties as well. If my Item Box was bigger we could have tried to get more than three hundred, but regretfully, three hundred free spaces for items is the maximum limit with the current levels of my Jobs.
Ah! Master, look!
Also, while going through the halls of the seventh floor, we made a surprising discovery that made coming here this early in the morning well worth it.
What is it, Roxanne? Did you find something?
Yes! I believe there is a hidden passage here!
Really?! Let me see!
Roxanne was right. Slightly off to the side of the main corridor there was a hidden passage in the wall. When we entered it after Roxanne confirmed that she cant smell any monsters lurking nearby, we found a most peculiar thing some distance from the entrance to the secret corridor.
Roxanne, what is that?
