Our Honeymoon Is Screwed (3)

1

"What should we do?."

"Indeed, what should we do?."

We need to work in the morning, so we didn't go all the way to the main event last night. So we settle just doing our usual sticky-sticky game because I can't have her unable to focus on her work. But it seems the effect of our sticky game is worse than if we did it for real.

"Maybe we can wash it by hands."

Did you still remember what my main business is? it's making household appliance. And of course, it includes building some form of an automatic washing machine. Usually, my rather small washer would be able to clean our not so really dirty clothes. But today, I have some doubt it can do its job well.

"It's going to take a lot of time, and we didn't really have that many free time."

Indeed, we didn't have that many free time. Even we can decrease the amount of the requested talisman, we still need to create at least 20 of them. And with our normal work time, we can just make 5 talismans a day. And I'm sure that they need more than just 20. We need to focus on our work for a few days.

We didn't really have time to waste. That includes time to wash our clothes by hands.

"Let's have someone wash our clothes."

"No!!! Absolutely no!!."

"Why? we can save time with it."

"The embarrassment going kill me when I have to pick those clothes from the person who washed it."

"I see."

Our work is mostly related to a delicate precision task so we rarely got sweaty and because our workshop is kept clean our clothes also rarely exposed to any dirt. Our clothes are mostly got dirty from our night activity.

Do you also still remember that Violet has some kind of phobia for men? if yes then it shouldn't be surprising if I said that we always do our sticky-sticky game while still wearing our clothes.

Asking someone to wash that kind of dirty clothes is rather difficult.

"Our only way just leaves it alone for now and forget about it."

That kind of solution also exists huh. If we can't do anything about it, just forget it. After all, the problem is not a problem if we didn't think it as a problem.

"And in order not to increase the number of our dirty clothes, we also need to stop doing our sticky game for a while."

"What??."

"Ah. that also include your single player game, please restrain yourself not to play around when I'm sleeping."

"Nooooo!!!!!!. . "

"Ok, the problem is solved."

"That's too crueeell!!!!!. . ."

The problem is not solved at aalllll. . . in fact it just increases.

After not solving our problem, both of us decided to go to the guild office to get the material for making the talismans and also asking how many pieces they need to make.

Our place is not that far from the guild office, we can reach it with just around 10 minutes of walking. And because we are already so familiar with the road, before we realized it we already arrive at its receptionist counter.

But.

"I'm very sorry, the material hasn't arrived yet."

"Is that so?."

Well, the request is rather sudden so there's no real preparation. Something like this is expected to happen and not that surprising. Even with the power of the guilds, they can't just purchase a large number of talisman material from one supplier so they need to collect from many sellers.

"Is it going to take a long time?."

"Don't worry, we have secured the material and it already has been shipped! I think in 2 or 3 hours the goods are going to be in this place."

That's faster than I thought. It seems the people in the logistics department of this guild are all capable individual.

While I'm thinking of how to can I able to borrow that logistic power of them, Violet tug my clothes to get my attention.

"How about we go to the central plaza?.

Waiting for 2 hours while doing nothing is absolutely boring. If I can flirt with her then I didn't mind, but I can't possibly do it so openly in this place.

"I see, a date."

"No, no, no, it's not a date."

"It's a date."

"We just need to buy some necessity."

"That's a date."

Man and woman go out together and do some shopping. In my dictionary, it already can be considered as a date.

"Your definition of date is rather shallow."

"Don't mind the small detail."

"I think our role is somehow got reversed."

The central plaza is rather far. It's 30 minutes of walk from the guild office and 40 minutes from our place. Normally we would just buy our daily necessity from the merchant that live close to our house. But because we just land some big job, we also need to buy some additional tools to help our works.

The plan is just to do some light shopping while we wait for our material to arrive at the guild office.

But that plan soon shattered to pieces after we are in the plaza. For some reason, we also buy a lot of food supplies and household tools. It seems the price is so low that my beloved wife is unable to hold back to not buy more than what we've planned to.

Because of that, my hands are now full of groceries.

"This indeed didn't look like a date."

"I already said so."

"But it's not bad."

Instead of a pair of lovers, we look like a typical married couple. We are a married couple, but most people just see us as a pair sibling or even kidnapper and its victim. That's why this activity is a good publicity.

Even though no other people would care anyway but it gives me some peace of mind.

After we buy our working tools, the last place we visit is a big clothing store in the center of the plaza. A place that anyone would visit on their date. But with hands full of grocery and some mechanical tools, the romantic mood is long gone.

"So what kind of clothes did you want to buy?."

"Pajama and underwears."

"Ha?."

I thought we are going to buy some cute clothes for her.

"Don't 'ha?' me! don't you remember that we have so many dirty clothing? do you remember what kind of clothes they are?."

It's pajamas and underwears. More precisely, her pajamas and underwears.

"I'm sorry."

Washing our clothes one by one is bothersome, so we usually wash them once in a few days. But the current dirty clothes is simply too difficult to wash with our current tools and we can't waste time to wash them by hands. So our only choice is just to buy a new one for the preparation of our busy schedule.

"It's not really a big deal, not to mention satisfying master beastly passion is also one of my responsibility."

It's true, but for some reason, it sounds so bad even in my own ears.

"Also, I didn't hate it, no. . . I actually quite enjoyed it."

Is that true? I always thought that you are forcing yourself and just doing it for my sake. While I feel happy that you able to hurt yourself in order to make me happy. But that kind of thing always gives me a slight sense of uneasiness and guilt.

"If you enjoyed it then. . ."

"No! at least in this week."

"But you said you enj. . . ."

Cough! cough! cough!.

Both I and Violet look into the direction of that unnatural coughing voice. And at the end of the section of this store, we see a female attendance give us some scary glare.

"We are sorry."

"We are sorry."

We bow to together and went out as fast as possible.

Our house is rather far from crowds, and our neighbors are mostly some old folks who see us as their own son and daughter. So we never try to restrain ourselves in talking about our private matter. But this place is a public space, and talking about our night activity is going to make another people got uncomfortable.

We switched store and continue to look for her new pajamas. Because we didn't want to repeat the same mistakes, we parted away. And after around thirty minutes, we meet again at the entrance of the store.

"Can I see them?."

"Do you want to check my selection?."

"Well. . ."

I didn't answer it after thinking that my answer is going to give us more trouble. But she understood and let me see her bag.

"Don't worry, I use master's preference in looking for new pajamas."

I see. The pajamas she buys are indeed based on my preference. Thin material, loose upper part, the right size for the lower part, and they have warm bright color.

"What a great wife I have."

"Anyway, we still have to look for underwears."

"No need to worry, your reliable husband has it covered already."

"Now, I feel even more worried let me see master's selection."

She rummages my bag and checking its content one by one. After that, she let out a big sigh and stare at me directly.

What?.

It's impossible for me to pick the wrong size when I already explore every nook and cranny of her body. So what's the problem? why did she look angry?.

"What did you pick up?."

"100% cotton panties that can absorb any kind of liquid efficiently."

"You mean sweat right?."

"It also has a very good elasticity that can make the wearer always comfortable in any kind of position."

"You mean it's easy to move right?."

"And the last, the thickness and texture are calculated in a way that gives the wearer a sense of freedom."

"You mean it feels nice on the skin right?."

"You really know me so well."

"For some reason, that praise didn't really make me happy! also, it seems you didn't really know me that well."

"Impossible!!! is there still any secret place that I haven't expl. . ."

"Not thaaatttt!!!!!!."

Once again, she blocked my mouth with her hands.

"What I mean is master should know that I didn't like to be treated like a small child."

"Eh? but I didn't remember treating you like one! I mean if I treat you like a small child I'm never going to marry you. ."

"Why did this man always manage to twist my words to the most embarrassing direction?."

Wow, she called me 'this men' and not master. Is it a good thing or bad?.

"Anyway that's not it, why did you choose this childish and plain underwear for me? aren't there any maturer one?."

"Let your beloved husband tell you something very important."

Sexy or mature attire didn't fit Violet that well. It's not because she is not beautiful, it's just her beautifulness is come from a different direction. And that direction is her destructive cuteness.

"Your greatest asset is your innocent image, and that image is best paired with something cute."

Trust me. Panties with colorful flower pattern or cute animal picture are definitely the best.

"I'm not sure you are thinking something innocent or cute when picking up these underwears, not to mention our relationship is the farthest from the image of cute and innocent."

"Don't make me sounds like a pervert who enjoy some weird play."

"Eh? you arent? I mean the one who dirtied most of our clothes with some smelly liquid is you right? master."

"That's sweat right?."

"The one who never let me rest until he is satisfied is also master."

"We are talking about work right?."

"Also, the one always doing whatever he wanted when this pitiful girl sleep is also master."

"I'M VERY SORRRYYYYYY!!!!!."

Sorrryyy!!! I will admit it. I never think about something that innocent or cute. What I think when choosing your underwear is just how great when I can taint that innocence of yours. I mean, who can resist no to taint her when you always give me a pure gaze, shy act, and scared look.

After I fell on my knee, Violet give me a pinch in the cheeks while having her face bright red.

"What a pervert master."

When we go back to the adventurer guild, that place is already being filled by many people. And many people in that crowds are our acquaintance that started being an adventurer at the same time as us.

When we walk in front of them, some junior from when we sare till active as adventurer try to offer us a help in carrying our luggage. But of course, I decline their offer. After all, I can't possibly disturb their work and let them carry our luggage are the same as increasing the risk of everyone know what kind of weird preference I have.

Did I just admit that I have weird preference?.

We ended up just gives some light greeting before going to the guild staff desk.

I thought that our problem finally goes away. But, because Violet has some trouble seeing in front of her, she accidentally bumps into someone in on of the guild worker desk.

The one who got hit by her is an adventurer boy in his 17 or 18.

"I'm sorry, I can't see very well."

While she didn't find her baggage to be heavy, but her short posture still gives her some trouble in her daily lives.

Well, solving those trouble is one of my ways to look cool in front of her though. That's why I didn't want her to suddenly become taller.

"Who is this brat?."

"I'm not a brat."

"Are you really feel sorry?."

"Yes, I'm."

Outside of the house or while with me, she rarely shows her emotions and normally talks in a rather flat tone. But don't worry, Violet is an honest and responsible woman. I can guarantee that she truly feel sorry for disturbing you boy.

"Then move away!."

Just like he said, Violet try to move away from his way. But the boy also coincidentally move to the same place direction where Violets moves. Because of that, both of them bumping into each other for the second time.

"Annoying!!!."

He tried to force his way by pushing violets away, but my body automatically moves to shield her and the boy's hand only able to hit my back. Violet can protect herself, she is also not weak and she is not going to fell or dropping her luggage just because someone hit her. But my instinct to protect her win over my logic.

"You. . . . do you also want to annoy me?"

Before he becomes more pissed off, let's just apologize.

"She absolutely means no harm, letting this small accident slip is wiser."

Garnering more attention is just going to further hinder both of our work. So, just settling this trivial matter with a simple apology is our best course. Win-win solutions.

"Now you are even lecturing me? if an apology is enough to solve all problem polices are not going to be needed."

Well, I don't think any police would going to be bothered by this kind of problem.

Also, this boy is clearly just having some bad day.

When your job is not going smoothly, someone tends to get irritated easily. I've experienced the very same thing before. At that time, even the smallest matter become big enough to fan my anger. But directing your anger to some unrelated people would just bring bad luck.

After all, as an adventurer, you are always at the risk of danger. And the ones who are going the help you from it are those unrelated people. As someone who has been abandoned by the others before, I can vouch that grumbling in some bar is better than venting your anger in the public place.

"I'm her husband, so if you think she still owes you something besides an apology you can just tell me.

"Is that so? then I . . ."

"Ooo. . Volker. . . why are you still in this place, just go to my office."

"What do you mean by 'just go to my office'? your staff asks me to wait for an hour! if you want me to come, please inform all of your staff! I didn't that much free time."

"I see, sorry! so let's just go to my office."

"No, I still have some business with this guy."

"This guy?. . ."

"Yeah, this annoying guy who wanted to lecture me. ."

I show my face to the guild master who seemingly has a business with this blonde guy. And when he sees Violet and me his face somehow becomes pale and looks restless.

Based on my memory that kind of expression is the sign of being pressured by something.

Don't tell me, is it possible that this guy is someone important?. Now that I think about it, when we are making some ruckus no adventurer or staff try to mend the situation. Is it because they are afraid of this guy?.

If he is really an important person, maybe we just step on some landmine.

"I'm sorry, Violet accidentally bump into him and we got into some little argument."

"This guy already apologized right?."

What the heck are you doing guild master? is your head alright? did you just ask him to apologize to Violet?. I didn't want to say it, but aren't you supposed to ask us to submit to him?. After all, we are just some lowly smith.

"Why did I have to apologize to them?."

His words are not pleasant in my ears but he is right. I appreciate your goodwill towards me, but you can't ask someone with real authority to bow to us just because we are your friend guild master. You should learn more about that kind of political things if you didn't want to suddenly get fired.

"Now, we are in the wrong here we are the one who should apologize to Mr. Volker."

I know how to read the mood so I will just humbly plead my guilty so I can save the guild master's face.

"By the way, Mr. Volker here is former A rank adventurer who worked for the army as the commander."

As expected. Even he is still rather young, not only authority he is also a person with a considerable strength even in adventurer community. No wonder no one dares to interrupt our little argument a while ago.

"I see, so the guild already made a contact with the army."

That's rather fast, even though you are musclehead you can get the job done smoothly.

"Hey Wether, why are you talking about nations matter with him?."

"Both of them is our primary talismans provider, of course, we need to inform them our plan."

"Can we trust them? I didn't want them to spread some rumors and make townspeople panicked."

I understand your concern, I also know that you actually care about the populace. But can you at least not make us sounds like dumb people?.

"No worry, both of them are a former adventurer and we are a close friend I can guarantee that they are trustworthy."

Violet nudge my back with her head, and after checking her intention I can see a signal that she wants to leave this place as soon as possible.

"Once again I apologize for bothering both of you, but it seems both of us have our own business to attend so please allow us to go."

We didn't really have too much time to waste, so I want to get the material as fast as possible and go home then started working. And just like me, Mr. Commander and guild master should also have some more important thing to do besides talking with us. So it's best to end our nonproductive conversation here.

"Don't be too hasty, how about joining us in discussing the plan for subjugating the Giant?."

"What the heck are you doing? how you can ask some amateur about this kind of thing."

Yes, you got expert in front of you why did you even bother me again?. I mean, I never have any experience in moving thousands of people at the same time and giving them the right commands.

"But he has many experiences that are useful for the upcoming battle."

"How can his advice worth more than my words?."

"No! that's not what I mean! I just want more opinion from many sides."

You are definitely trying too hard to make me appear more useful than I should. If you are afraid that his impression of me going to deteriorate the relationship with the army, I would gladly take the responsibility myself. You didn't have to force yourself to mend our rather bad impression of each other.

"I"m really sorry, we have to work for your request as fast as possible or we can't complete it in time."

For now, we just wanted to go home.

"I understand, you can take the material in the warehouse behind."

"Thank you."

With the guild master finally give up on asking I and Violet to join their meeting, we finally able to go to the guild's warehouse. And after when got there we found Arne is waiting for us with a stagecoach ready.

After picking up the material together with another talisman smith, the three of us leaving with 30 pieces talisman worth of materials.

And when the stagecoach begins to move, Arne's mouth also begin to move even I want it to stay closed.

"What do you think about that Volker guy?."

"Nothing."

"Really? I thought you have some bad impression about him."

"Well, a little I think."

I'm not a saint after all. I found his attitude to be annoying. After that, Arne also voices his impression about Volker.

"I think him as annoying, to be honest."

"Do you want to grumble? I think you should do it in some quiet drinking place, not in front of me."

Except you want to pay me for hearing your grumbling.

"Don't be like that, I also never want to hear you boasting about just how cute your Violet is but I hear them anyway! It's time for you to also hear my inner voices."

"You mean your evil inner voices."

"Yes, my evil inner voice."

After that, my 10 minutes journey is filled with nothing but his tale about how jealous he is to Volker. It really just his evil inner voice.
