Mission Progress

This time I was surrounded by 3 goblins I had [Black Moon] in my hands, they were trying to take advantage of their numbers, and I was constantly moving to avoiding that. They were the last of the group we were currently facing since the rest had fallen a minute ago. I wanted to face the goblin elite but due to my bad luck or his, he was the first one that Kurisu shot down and now he was laying lifeless on the ground.

Their movements were more awkward than normal, due to the pressure of [Soul of the Emperor] that I exerted. I grew tired of waiting for one of them to attack because they were only keeping their distance and looking at each other as if trying to convince the other one to move first.

Having enough of this strange dance, I charged at the one who was positioned directly in front of me, seeing me charge at him, he brandished his club, a bad idea on his part, my sword had almost cut through an elite goblins metal sword so a simple stick was just laughable, unless I decided to hit at an angle avoiding contact with the edge the result was predictable.

As I imagined the black moon blade split the stick and following in its path the goblin's neck. I didn't stand still waiting for the blood shower to start, I didn't have a fondness of bathing in it, so I move in the direction of the next opponent.

By the time the blood spurted from the goblin's neck I had reached my next target, I moved the sword horizontally and cut from side to side at his waist causing it to separate into two halves. Then I turned around and watched the last one, I brandished the sword to clean the blood off it making a red line on the ground.

Perhaps because of what happened the other day I was in high alert with only one goblin remaining, but it was a relief that this time there was no wild boar or some other surprise. It was only him, he looked at me with fear in his eyes while growling.

"Grouw"

Let's get this over with, it's getting late and I don't want night to fall upon us before we can return to our cave. As if listening to my thoughts, the goblin avoided me the trouble of going after him or having to chase him while escaping. Either he is braver than the elite goblin I faced before or an idiot ... I don't even know why I bother asking, the answer is obvious watching him run towards me desperately without a weapon in his hands.

He threw himself at me and I avoid him by taking a step aside, with his back exposed, I slice his neck but not deep enough for the head to come off. He lost his balance and fell to never get up again.

[Beep]

[Alexander level up to 7]

[Kurisu level up to 8]

Fuuu ... it's over, I think we did enough for one day. This would be the fourth group of goblins that we exterminate and with the sun still a few hours away from hiding on the horizon, in addition to the fact that the AMMO is rapidly decreasing, I think it is better to return.

I look around the area, this time they were a group of 17 goblin and 1 elite, a challenge for a small team of novice adventurers without a doubt.

Again I realize the power of firearms, they are killing machines designed to counteract numerical advantage. Its only disadvantage is the cost and more so in a place where weapons cannot be repaired in case of decomposition, practically turning them into disposable objects once they are damaged.

On the other hand, they practically shoot crystals from my pocket with every shot ... I can now understand why they say that wars can bankrupt a country.

"I will collect everything and then we'll return to the cave Kurisu"

I told her as she was approaching after seeing that the last goblin had fallen. When I get to the elite goblin I'm surprised.

"Great! Another chest"

"What happened?"

Kurisu asked looking with intrigue at the chest, apparently she didn't notice the first one from before.

"You could say that it is a bonus for our effort. They will appear on occasion and contain random objects inside that will help us."

"Mmmm... let's hope there's something good."

"This was the only thing left to pick up, we can go back now."

We walked in the direction of the cave at a moderate pace paying attention to the surroundings, in my case I'm extending my domain out, it was more effective than just depending on my sight or hearing. We continue for a little more than half an hour until we see our humble provisional home.

"Haaa ... We finally arrived"

Kurisu speaks sitting down on the floor carelessly and without worrying about getting dirty. Well, I should prepare the food and bath.

"Kurisu, I'll prepare the food, I don't know if you want to bathe right now or wait for us to get to a town so you will feel safer."

Due to my words she began to sniffing herself discreetly, I don't think she smells bad, in fact, I think her aroma is pleasant ... I only mentioned it because she will feel refreshed and it should take away some of her fatigue, I wasn't trying to say that she stinks.

"When do you think we'll go to a town?"

"I can't be sure, two or three days. We have to complete the mission, being optimistic we can complete it tomorrow, if not, it will be the day after. Also, the nearest town is one day away."

"... So how do I bathe here?"

True, I didn't have to worry because I was alone at the beginning ... well, I still don't care if Kurisu looks at me when I am naked. But she is a girl, and a shy one at that, and she would not like to shower in front of someone. I will need to buy something so she can shower in a way that makes her feel calm.

"You can use this canteen as a shower, do not be fooled by its size, it has a lot of water inside and here is the shampoo and other utensils for you to wash yourself with."

"...where?"

After giving her the objects, I step back and with the system I searched for something to allow her to bathe, I found a cylindrical structure with curtains where a person could fit and bought it, taking it out when I was at a reasonable distance.

"There, it shouldn't be any problem here"

"... You can't spy on me"

"Don't worry, I will respect your privacy, unless you want me to come with you I will stay on this side"

I told her with a wink, women are complicated beings, for example, if answered only no, I bet she would be offended or doubt my sexual preferences. So I had to show an interest in her, and with all honesty that was not difficult.

"I-Idiot"

"I guess that's a no, what a shame... Then I'll prepare dinner, you can bathe in peace"

"Aah"

"What happened?"

"I don't have a change of clothes"

I went back into the system and looked for a shirt, pants and underwear for her before handing them to her. They were not my preferences for her, just what she usually wears.

"Thank you"

"Don't worry and enjoy your bath"

With everything ready she enters the structure and I move to prepare the food, we had to eat some of the supplement pills in the afternoon. They can fill your stomach, but to be honest... normal food is still better.

In addition, our meat reserves are steadily declining, maybe I should go hunting more than goblins tomorrow...

"You better not spy on me Alex or I really will get mad"

While I was concentrating on cooking I heard Kurisu's voice, I think she is too insecure or too anxious. I talk reassuring her.

"Don't worry Kurisu, I'm concentrating on cooking"

Not five minutes passed when her voice came from the other side of the curtains with the sound of the water accompanying it. I couldn't deny that I was very interested in knowing what was happening on the other side, but since I am a man of my word I restrained myself.

"Seriously Alex, I'll stop talking to you if you do it."

"Kurisu, if you keep mentioning it so much I will think you are sending me hints and actually think you want me to do it"

"T-there is no way I would do that i-idiot"

Even I began to get exasperate with such insistence, well, let's mess with her to distracted her

"Kurisu can I ask you a question?"

"…What is it?"

"Why does the area of your chest bulge differently from mine?"

"E-eh ... t-that's ... that's because I'm a girl"

"Heee ... I see. So it's normal for the left and right sides to be different?"

"Eeeeh! I-impossible, they are the same!"

While screaming in surprise, the sound of the dripping water stopped and the blurred silhouette of the curtain showed that she was examining herself in a somewhat desperate way.

"No, I think they were asymmetrical"

"L-lie they can't be different"

"In my opinion they were-"

[Zhuuaaa!]

"Look well they are the same !!!"

While cutting the meat of the wild boar, the sound of the curtain being drawn was abruptly heard... I looked up and there the heavens manifested... no doubt her body has reach perfection. Apparently she was one of those people whose clothes make them look smaller than they actually are, her breasts were larger than I thought, exceeding the small size and entering the moderates ... I also confirmed that she is a natural redhead looking at her secret garden ... Ah! damn it I almost cut my finger.

I swallowed loudly while watching in detail that figure sculpted by the gods, if I compare it with others that I had the fortune to observe it would certainly be unfair for both of them.

The seconds continued to pass and we both looked at each other, she as if waiting for an answer and me trying to save the image in my brain or rather printing it hard.

"Unn, I was wrong ... from what I can see they are perfect"

She inflated her chest with pride, and then in a couple of seconds as if finally realized the situation she was in, looked down at her body and then at me. She repeated it two more times and inhaled deeply.

"Kyaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!"

She hid behind the curtain and paradise left the earth to remain hidden again ... Aurora, how much does a camera cost in the system?

[... on average about 300G, but I do not recommend photographing a naked person who has access to a weapon without her consent]

... you have a very good point there... So how much does the skill [Photographic memory] cost?

[It's not cheap, 500,000C, ... I honestly don't recommend you spend that amount just to satisfy your sexual desires. It's better that you convince Kurisu to show you her body when you want to vent your desires]

Hahaha ... I don't know what you are talking about Aurora, I simply wanted it because it would be very useful to remember everything perfectly.

[...]

Well... let's continue cooking.

After about 30 minutes the food was prepared and we were both around the fire with the dishes served in front us. Kurisu seemed to have lost her voice after that tremendous scream, because she hadn't said a word since leaving the shower.

Her face was flushed and I doubt it is from the bath. It was awkward to stay in this environment, so I broke the silence we were in.

"Come on, it will get cold and won't taste as good"

"... Forget everything you saw"

"That would be impossible for me, but I will try not to think about it very much. Is that okay?"

"No, don't just try. Definitely don't think about it!!"

"Fine, fine, I won't. Let's go eat before it gets cold."

"Huummp"

"Now let's see todays result"

I change the subject to soften things up and make Kurisu's mind get distracted by something else. In addition, it is true that we should review our achievements of the battles we had so far. Aurora can you show me the objectives of the [Monster settlement destruction] mission.

[Sure, Alexander]

[Objectives: Destroy Monster Settlement 0/1

Kill 100 monsters belonging to a settlement 61/100

Kill 10 elite monsters belonging to a settlement 4/10

Kill 1 Settlement's Chief 0/1]

Phew...I was worried that the deaths caused by Kurisu would not count for the mission and I would have to kill them personally. It is a relief that the system has not gone to those extremes.

[Kurisu, as your summon and as a part of your team, her performance will also be counted with yours for the missions, unless the system specifies that it is something that you have to do personally, if any ally of yours does it in your place, the system will take it into account]

Well, if I remember right, there were the 3 that I killed the first day, the 15 of the first group, time later we found another 13, 16 right away and the 18 at the end ... 65 minus the 4 elite of each group 61 goblin.

Great progress, less than half of the goblins and only 6 of the elite remain. At this rate there is a great chance that we can complete the mission tomorrow.

"We have killed 61 goblin and 4 elite. Great work Kurisu"

"That many?"

"Yes, you can say that we completed half of the mission. Now let's see how many bullets we have left"

Saying that, I look into the inventory, 96 bullets of the 9mm and 22 of the 7.63mm ... damn, they disappear fast too. Kurisu didn't use 9mm bullets, but I did, and she practically rained bullets from the rifle over the goblin groups, so it is normal for those to be reduced so much.

"We have half the bullets for 9mm and 22 for the rifle left ... certainly a great result also comes with great consumption"

"I-I'm sorry, I think I wasted a lot of the bullets"

"No, you did very well, you knocked down more than me, Kurisu, if it wasn't for you I don't think I could do as well as we did together. Thank you"

"... I understand, I'm glad that I could be helpful"

"You don't have to be so modest, say it with pride "

"Unn"

I smiled at her and she returned the gesture. What remains is to see the chests we got from the fights, I hope they are good things. I take them out and pick up the first one to open it, it shines for a second and disappears leaving 1,000G, 100C and some [Lizard Leather Gauntlets-J].

This one brought less objects than the previous one… besides, I wonder if with this I have completed the set of the lizard leather armor? Let's move on to the next one, with the same pattern the chest opens and leaves 1,000G and 100C in the same way, and to my surprise it brought two objects a box of 100 7.63mm bullets and a scroll.

[Scroll "Fireball-I"]

Shoot a ball of fire at the designated target, needs 10 crystals to activate. Single use disposable item.

Oooh, it's a scroll with the magic fireball imbued in it. How powerful will it be? On the other hand, I thought that in the first level areas magic could not be used...

[You're right, all beings in level 1 areas can't do magic directly utilizing their body. But the ingenuity of intelligent individuals has always tried to find solutions and means to undo limitations. Hence the scrolls which can be used with crystals without needing a body that can use magic pathways.]

I get it. Well, I'll keep it as a trump card for now. The chest also saved me the cost of buying bullets for the rifle, nice.

"It seems that we have enough bullets for now"

I told Kurisu who looked at all the objects in the chests, and then she focused on the ammo and nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, then it's my turn to bathe. You can wait for me or go to sleep"

"Heee, can you do it alone or do you want me to help you?"

When I got up and picked up everything, she asks me that, I turn to her and see a smile of mockery on her face. I see, she wishes to make fun of me to try to get even... Kurisu, Kurisu, Kurisu, you're too naive to say such jokes to me.

"Really? I thought it would bother you, that is why I didn't mention it, but if you want to do it, I'd really appreciate the help."

With that said I begin to take off my clothes in front of her, first I take of the armor and then the shirt. Then I stood with my bare chest while she looked at me wanting to form words with her mouth, but nothing seemed to come out. I unfasten the belt of my pants and continue lowering it without hesitation staying in my underwear only.

Her face at this time had already turned red and along with my pants falling Kurisu's hands covered her eyes, but with large grooves between her fingers continuing to watch the show I offered.

Her limit was when I grabbed the elastic of my underwear with my thumbs and play with it, unable to bear it anymore she turned around and ran outside the cave while screaming.

"Idiooot!"

"Where are you going? Weren't you going to help me bathe?"

Haaa ... it's a shame, it would be nice to have her delicate fingers washing my body. Without an audience, I proceeded to undress completely and enter the bathroom structure. 15 minutes later I felt refreshed with a new change of clothes and with a bit of cold, the darkness began to engulf the remaining light so I hurry up and pick up the dirty clothes and armor and store them in my inventory.

Kurisu was tucked into my sleeping bag lying in the direction of a cave wall with her back to me. I just remember there was only one sleeping bag, I bought another one in the system and placed it a meter away from her. Feeling my presence, she trembles a little, but keeps quiet pretending to sleep.

"Good night Kurisu"

"... idiot precocious boy....good night"

Finally I hear her little murmur, I close my eyes and trying to sleep I talk to Aurora too. Good night, Aurora.

[Rest well Alexander]
