“WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!?” I was being yelled at.

  The one yelling at me was Vivien, probably because everyone else was going different kinds of crazy. I had nded close to the carriages that we rode with LV8 Horus, not really sidering that I just nded a rge dragoo some horses. Vivien and Tye were able to keep the horses from running away, but that doesn’t ge the fact that I shouldn’t have dohat. I need some sort of calm field skill that I use whenever I nd with a dragon or something.

  I was ready to unsummon Horus as soon as we nded, but Tye realized what I was about to do and insisted that he could look it over first. He also asked some questions about how I was able to grow a summon that fast. I’m a bit surprised by him realizing that the LV8 Horus is the same dragoook off on.

  Paulina was tired and seemed to be falling asleep on one of the carriages. Alice just didn’t care and was sittio her sister. I guess she is used to my BS already. Alex, Rhys and Arvin had taken the pce of Vivien and Tye in holding the horses down.

  “I’m sorry. I really didn’t think about it as no one said anything when I first summoned Horus.” I tried to defend myself.

  “Oh don’t try an excuse like that. That thing was tiny pared to that full grown dragon.” Vivien said. “You’d better hope and pray that no one saw that dragon or you will face problems with the guild or even the feudal lord.”

  “... yes. I uand. I’m sorry.” I said again.

  “At least tell me you got what you headed out for.” Vivien said, turning to Lua.

  “Yes. We secured enough blood.” Lua answered. “We also have 10 forest boar corpses to sell.”

  “You really o keep your summoner in check or he will cause you more trouble that you deal with.” Vivien instructed Lua. I’m not positive, but I think she might be speaking from experience.

  “Well, he might just be worth the trouble.” Lua defended me.

  As I unsummoned Horus, he let out something that sounded almost like speech.

  {Vinxa for shair ve ekess mave sia gliiwr adon pliso. Si charis ekess aso mrith dout reelojaersvek wer papref.}

  Well, something like that, anyway.

  (That is draiguage, Master. Ah Language prehension (dragon) could uand it.) Laura said.

  (Oh. you tra?) I asked.

  (No. I reize nguages but not trahem. Transtion might be possible if I reach advanced level or if Master figures out a way to improve his Language prehension.) Laura said.

  (I see. I should work on that.) Not that I have any idea how to do it.

  I wonder if Buster Bder or Dark Padin could do it. Buster Bder is a dragon hunter aook care of a baby dragon and everything. I think he might be able to speak draic.

  Also, if Horus speak, I wonder if Blue-Eyes as well. I don’t know, but it is possible.

  We got to the city ahrough the VIP gate. I asked the guards about as about strong monsters, but they said they hadn’t gotten any, so no one probably saw Horus. Hopefully. Or the report just hasn’t e i.

  On the way to the town, Paulina had apparently bought four of the eight orc corpses from us, even though she art of the party that took them down. I have no idea what she wants that many for, but it's not my pce to question her. One for the meat should be fine, but four? Is she pnning on feeding an army?

  Well, at least it makes unloading the corpses easier.

  At the guild, we made a report about the successful quest and also added a report about the forest boars. While it wasn’t the truth, the report said that we ran into the boars while searg for the orc settlement. Tye and Vivien reended rep it like that, as hunting monsters below your rank is looked down upon. Unless you have to do it for the quest or because they attack you. Or if they are trash mobs.

  The guild did offer to buy the orc carcasses, but the boars they reended we should take to a butcher. Or just cut them up ourselves ahe meat, hide and core. The guild could do it, but it would make us less money, as the venience fee for having the guild do it is quite high. I probably would still use the guild’s service myself, but as we were partied up with some locals, they knew a few pces that would buy the boars.

  They took us to a medium sized butcher’s shop named Jeremy’s Meat. He took a quick look at the boars we brought him and immediately wao buy them. He seemed to have a good eye for the meat, as he reized the skill with which the blood had been drained from them. I would say thank Lua, but these were drained by Vampire Lord. Though I think he might faint if I told him that. And Tye would definitely attack me for more information.

  The shop owner ended up buying all ten of the forest boars that we had, for a price that Vivian said was good. We got a total of 35 gold s for the 10 boars. That means 3 gold and twe silver per boar. bined with the 80 gold s we got for the 8 orcs, we were sitting at a det pile of money. Saber Fang also got a separate reward for being the leading party in the seard destroy quest, but we decided to let them keep that money, while the four of us would split the money from the boars. (Paulina refused her share, as she didn’t actually do anything against the boars. She also didn’t take a cut from the orc sales, as she was the one buying half of them.) With that, Alex, Lua, Alid I had 75 gold s to split between the four of us. That ended with 18 gold and 3 rge silver s for each of us. As the sale money was all in gold s, I ended up using rge silvers from my own wallet to break up a few gold s so we could split the money.

  “Brian, could I ask you to e with me to the dhampir vilge tomorrow?” Lua asked as we were going our separate ways.

  “Tomorrow? Sure. I have no pns.” I said back.

  “And I was hoping you could give my mother and I a ride there.” She added.

  “On Overdrive? Sure.”

  “Thank you.” Lua said. “I really want to get this done.”

  “Yeah. No problem.” I said.

  (I’ll send you the location of Mistress’ mother’s house, so you’ll know where to find it.) I heard Lua’s System Support in my head.

  That actually reminds me.

  (Laura, did we send the map data collected today over to her?) I asked.

  (Particle map data was sent, but not all of it. I was going to send the rest during the night.) Laura said.

  (Sure, but why not just do it immediately?) I asked.

  (Unlike what you assume, Master, we don’t have infinite processing power. And as Miss Lucia’s System Support is still basic, she ot receive information as fast as I send it. Aailed map data has a lot of information to process.) Laura expined.

  Okay. So the superputers called System Support are not that super. They are just regur puters.

  (We could be super if we reached a higher rank.) Laura said.

  “Could we make a few stops?” I asked Alid Paulina on our way back to Sawyer manor.

  “What kind of stops?” Alice asked.

  “I o buy a few things.” I responded.

  “What kinds of things?” Paulina asked. “Perhaps I show you to a good store.”

  “Well, I least a magi. Christina actually gave me an order slip for one before we eve Alewatch. I also wao take a look at some armor. And perhaps some other clothing.” I said.

  The pen was the most important thing, so I could get into tact with Christina. I o discuss the monster situation in the dungeon with her. The armor and clothing are holy for Lunatite experiments.

  “A magi. I see. I knoce.” Paulina said. “It’s a bit of a walk, so we should get a carriage.”

  “Oh. A carriage. I take care of that.” I said befetting Overdrive out of the colle. “Overdrive.”

  “Wh…what is that?” Paulina asked.

  “Overdrive. My golem carriage.” I answered before opening the door.

  “... is it safe?” Paulina asked.

  “Yes.” Aliswered befetting on the fro.

  “... Well, if you say so.” Paulina said.

  She got into the back seat and I got into the driver's seat.

  We actually got stopped twi our way to the shop by patrolling knights, but I just opehe door and showed them the mithril medal and they would let us keep going.

  “Is this the pce?” I asked Paulina as we had reached the store she reended.

  As I didn’t hear an answer from her, I looked to the back seat and saw her sleeping there. She really must be tired. Perhaps I just let her sleep.

  I got out of Overdrive and an employee of the store came outside to greet me. I asked her where I should park my carriage and she showed me the pce. I ordered Overdrive to drive there. I love this self-driving APC. I decided to let Paulina sleep in Overdrive, but I was a bit scared of leavihere alone, so I ended up summoning Dang Fairy to keep an eye on her. And to make sure no one could steal Overdrive. Of course it would be difficult to steal a se APC, but I’m not sure how my mae monsters work exactly. There is a ce that Overdrive ’t resist ands ing from the pedals and the steering wheel on the driver’s seat.

  Summoning two monsters of course meant that I would o keep my duel disk active, but that is a small price to pay for ease of mind.

  The employee then led both Alid I into the store.

  We ended up buying a few things. For one, I got my magi. It looked like a normal ballpoint pen oside, except that instead of having the clickity bit oop, it had a sliding thing on the side. When slid downwards, it revealed the end that could turn mana into ink. And when slid up, it would reveal an eraser end that could use mana to erase the magik.

  I also found something called travel jam. It arently a long sting jam that made travel rations taste a lot better, so I ended up buying one jar of it. I didn’t have problems with food st time, but better to have it just in case. I also analyzed the jam for dungeon reprodu. I think it might be a good idea to have some cheap food avaible in the first floor of the dungeon, just in case adventurers fet t some. Perhaps I should use a copy of Emergency Provisions and analyze the food that es out of it and add that as well. And maybe some sort of water source would be good as well. I could use one of those water dispehat the adventurer’s guild has for that.

  Alice also found a book written by a retired A-rank adventurer. It does seem useful, but she paid 6 gold s for it. Not a price I would pay for a book.

  There was also a travel tea set that I ended up buying. No, I’m not addicted, I just thought it would be o have. I also picked up a jar of high quality tea leaves and an infuser while at it.

  In total, I ended up paying 7 gold and a rge silver for my things. pared to Alice’s book, I’d say not bad. Of course the pen aid for by Christina, so it might have been more than I should have paid for some jam and tea. But I guess you have to pay for the quality stuff.

  Our stop was a clothing store. I wanted some PJs of my own. And some other clothes as well. I had noticed that the clothes I now wore didn’t have the always entment that my inals had. My underwear did survive that i, but I wao hold onto them as my final pair, as having always underwear as your backup just sounds like a good idea. The same went for my socks.

  I checked plenty of clothing, but I really didn’t like most of the materials used. And the style on the higher quality ones wasn’t great for my daily wear, as they were mostly button-up shirts. I did buy one silk undershirt and some silk boxers. As well as two sets of silk PJs.

  One more stop befoing back to the manor.

  An armor shop. I had seen it on the way to the first store and drove back to it.

  I, again, parked Overdrive in what I assumed would be a good spot for it a ih Alice. After all, I was going to make some Lunatite armor for both of us, so I needed host clothing for it. Assuming that it will even work.

  “Wele.” I heard a female voice wele us as we walked into the store. “How may I help you?”

  I looked around trying to spot who spoke to us, but the only one I could see was the dwarf behind the ter. I assume he is a dwarf. He definitely looks the part. Short and bulky with a luscious beard.

  “Mister? Is something wrong?” I heard the female voice again asking. But this time, I realized where it was ing from.

  The bearded dwarf had a female voice. She had e out from behind the ter and I could get a better look at her. I noticed her chest is … swollen. She has to be female. Probably. Or dwarfs are weird. Perhaps both.

  Now that I was looking at her closer, I noticed a few things that could have given away her gender. Other than her chest area.

  Firstly, her hair and beard were both well kept and partly in braids. Her beard actually reminded me a bit of the beard of Thor in Avengers: Endgame. No, not fat-Thor, but the bat Thor from the final fight.

  Her hair oher hand was in many smaller braids. Doing a hairstyle like that has to take forever as you would have to separate your hair to small ses and then braid those ses.

  “Mister? Are you alright? You are starting a lot.” The female dwarf said.

  “I’m sorry.” I said as I lowered my head. “I’ve just never seen a dwarf before and wasn’t expeg a voice like that from … “ I ended up shutting my mouth at that point as the dwarf got a dark look on her face. “I’m sorry.” I repeated.

  “Well, I suppose I let it slide if you buy something.” The dy dwarf said to me. “So, what will it be? A on perhaps? Or some armor?”

  “Armor, please. For both me and her.” I said.

  “Brian. You don’t o buy any for me.” Alice said. “I get it myself.”

  “No. Armor is important. You just pay me back ter if it is that important.” I told Alice. I’m actually a bit surprised that she was going to buy it herself, instead of just askio buy it for her.

  “That is correct. Without it, one blow could be fatal.” The dwarf said. “And both of you seem to have very little. The miss has a jacket that might do something, but mister has nothing.”

  “Yeah. My equipment kind of broke a few days ago and I haven’t had time to pick up uff yet, so here I am.” I admitted.

  “Oh. I see. I shall get you somethier that won’t break iure.” The dwarf dy said.

  I hope it is something that also host Lunatite.
