Note: Slice of life ahead.
==============================
Faran Glem, the one who also forged most of the high-tier weapons out there in the Graven kingdom. But why the hell does he smell like a female?
[That's because he's one…..]
What the...???
But she has the appearance of a man! I mean, look at her chest, it's flat and this body doesn't even look like that of a female.
Wait! Don't tell me that this is her body. If that is so then I wonder how her pussy would loo—
[Aargh! Why are you such an idiot... She's using high-tier transformation magic...]
Damn... My mind didn't even think about that.
[Well, the only thing you think of is pussy]
Tru– I mean, that's a lie…
[...]
"We almost died while trying to get this lotus, I hope you'll compensate us very well," Kurt says as he opens the small box in his hand and instantly closes it back.
I don't see Faran Glem's expression because of the mask on hi– I mean on her face. But she seems to be contemplating something.
"Okay, so because you completed this mission within a short period of time and talked to me in a very polite way, I'll compensate you with two hundred gold coins." Faran Glem announces.
"T...Two h-hundred gold coins?!" Everyone gasps in surprise...as they can't believe what they just heard.
In the next moment, Faran Glem waves her hand in the air, and a big brown pouch containing the money appears.
She hands over the money to Kurt who is still looking stupefied.
Then she glances at me and immediately averts her eyes, before she begins to walk away.
Damn...that gaze... *Gulp*
I bet her real body will be muscular...I wonder what she wants to use the sacred lotus for...
[Why do you say that her real body will be muscular?]
Well, isn't it obvious? A woman who forges weapons, will probably look like a heavyweight champion. That explains why she doesn't want to show her real body...
[Sigh... You know, you look so dumb right now. Just because she's a forger doesn't mean she will be ugly... There are different types of forging. Based on my knowledge, a high-level technomancer should also be able to forge a beast weapon.]
Ahh, I see... So she might be a Technomancer... But why did she give me that long stare...?
I try to come up with an answer to my question but shake my head when I can't come up with a logical reason.
I glance to the side and see the rest of my teammates arguing and discussing how to share the money amongst ourselves.
Sometime later, they came to a conclusion and gave each person thirty-three gold coins. While the remaining two gold coins were added to my own, making it 35 in total, and it also meant that I had the highest share.
The rest of the team members are okay with me taking the remaining two gold since I contributed a lot to the mission.
I collect my money inside a pouch and give it to Abby...
"Take this, please don't reject it... I don't need it and you know that." I tell her as I push the pouch into her hand forcibly.
"B-But, you worked for it... I...I don't want it to look as if I started dating you because of your money. I am sorry, I can't take..." Abby replies while shaking her head and trying to force back the money into my hands.
"Team leader, I think you should take the money. Vincent probably wants to give you of his own free will. That doesn't make you a gold digger. Moreover, it would be wrong to reject something from your man..." Russell says and urges Abby to take the money.
Damn... I have such nice teammates...
[Fufu... This is the first time this guy has said something meaningful]
No doubt, you are correct, Myra.
"B-But…" Abby lets out a sigh in defeat and collects the pouch from me before storing it in her space ring along with her own earnings.
"Okay, since everyone has received their money, I think we should rest for today...." Kurt announces.
"Damn... This is probably the highest-paying mission that we have ever completed. Am I right?" Russell utters and glances toward Abby for confirmation.
"You are right, Russell. The highest-paying mission we have ever completed as a "team" was 100 gold coins...." Abby replies.
Soon after, everyone begins to take their leave, leaving me alone with Abby and Kim.
"Mmm...Kim, what are you waiting for...?" Abby asks with her eyes furrowed.
"I...I want to ask if Vincent can have lunch with me..." Kim replies while fidgeting with her hair.
'Sigh...how can you be so- gullible, can't you freaking see that he is with his woman?' Abby mutters under her breath while gritting her teeth.
"Team leader, did you say something?" Kim asks with an innocent face while tilting her head forward slightly.
"Ahh, don't worry... Vincent will eat lunch with you. But I want to see him about some important matters right now, maybe I'll give you a call after...." Abby speaks up with a vein popping out on her forehead.
"Mmm...okay, I think I should have his reference then..." Kim tells Abby and simply brings out her amulet and makes it come into contact with mine which is currently hanging out of my robe.
Abby's face flushes with anger and she looks as if she is about to explode.
"Okay, give me a call, Vincent..." Kim tells me and flashes me a smile before hopping away...
The moment she leaves, Abby suddenly gives me a dangerous glare...
"Don't even think about doing anything with her..... She has no idea what she's doing...." Abby tells me in anger and starts to walk away.
Sigh... This hot head...
[Kim looks like a girl who knows what she's doing. In fact, she no longer has her deficiency, she's just using it to her advantage....]
Ahh, that makes sense... Who knew that Kim was so cunning...
I let out a sigh and begin to walk after Abby, meanwhile I can feel a death stare behind my back.
