Chapter 265

When I looked into my status, I noticed that several of my Skills and Title Skills had been leveling up passively over this entire time. They had become stronger quite easily as I practiced my magic every day diligently, swung my blade, and also my axe, and well, they naturally got into a higher level! That simple, it is nothing too hard to do, just constant repeated efforts net some results over a long time, although two weeks is not really THAT much, so we could say that my progress is fast and accelerated. I’ve learned that people with Divine Protections receive enhancements to the EXP earned and even the Skill Proficiency earned, so they naturally grow stronger and better quicker than other people.
Anyways, most of my Skills are stuck though, those at higher levels get a harder time leveling up, such as those around Level 7 to 9… Maybe if I could evolve again, that would be the nice final trigger for them to level up and even evolve. And about my Job, it seems that that’s that, I don’t know if I can pick a new one, I haven’t seen, picking Jobs is easy you can switch to any Job pretty much at any time, but the bonuses granted by the Job disappear, including the Skills.
So the only way to keep these useful Skills and the bonuses to magic and mana is to get an “evolved” Job that is a greater version of my already existing Job. And the thing is… Erm well, this Job is already a pretty late game one, apparently, so I don’t know if there could be anything better for the moment, and that’s why I’ve been limiting myself to just bear with it, also, I have yet to find a damn spirit to call my companion, but I myself am slowly becoming one, I guess?
After slaying the Bear, we quickly moved back to town, where we quickly left the bear being butchered by some workers at the castle, while we moved back to rest for the day, I moved into my bed and began to rest for a bit, Emeraldine and Lucifer were busy working outside. Lucifer goes around with Catarina and a few others dismantling houses and gathering anything of value inside of them to save for their original owners, Lucifer wanted to do this himself because he didn’t trusted our people, as he thought somebody might try to steal the valuable items or photos from the frozen people. At the end he still accepted some assistants he trusted, and interesting enough he trusted Catarina from all people.
Meanwhile, Emeraldine is with the trio of dwarves and the goblins, mostly discussing about the creation of the greenhouse, they seemed to want her help for something, the dwarf trio had come out with the idea of creating special magical artifacts using her magic infused into them, so she was thinking with them about how to even do it. Oh right, a week ago I sent an army of ghost snakes to carry sand to the town, so we got a lot of sand now to make as much glass as we wanted. The process of making glass was pretty interesting, and we were able to see how it was done, now that we got everything, the only thing we have to do is wait, to be patient.
“Well today is another boring day as always.” Sighed Partner.
“Boring? But we did a lot of stuff! We hunted… We… we hunted a big bear!” I said.
“Eeeh… It wasn’t even a challenge!” Said Partner, as she sat down at the left side of the bed, and quickly began to cuddle with me.
“Then what do you want to do to have fun? Maybe eat something? Oh! I think there is a floating island atop the sky.” I said. “We could go check that out now that we got some free time, it still some time until we get to the duchy of Affnaria.”
Partner, however, didn’t seem to care about what I said, as she approached her face to be and kissed my cheek coquettishly. She looked at me with her bright and beautiful red eye rather… lewdly. Damn, is this the charm of the Vampire race?!
“I am not interested in any of that boring stuff…” She said. “I think we can have other fun, right, Master?”
“Hm?! L-Like what?” I asked.
Partner began to rub her face over my chest cutely.
“Y-You know I love you… R-Right, Master?” She said, while suddenly growing redder.
“I-I do…” I said. “You’ve told it to me before…” I said.
“Y-You love me as well?” She asked.
What with these questions out of absolutely nowhere?! Does she doesn’t know the meaning of “slow burn romance”?! Well, none of the other two I am with know about that, they just jump into it whenever they find the opportunity, there is no shame in these three, they are all about the horny.
Of course, it has been a long while, but I sure do love her… I am pretty sure that I got some strong feelings for her, and I want her to stay with me forever and ever. It might be a bit weird as she has my skeleton inside of her, but she had evolved into a completely new living being and well a person of her own.
“Yeah, I love you too… I-It is a bit hard to say it because I am not used to these things…” I sighed.
“Hehehe… T-Then can we kiss? That’s what people that love each other do…” Said Partner.
“Kiss…? I guess it is about time… Sorry for delaying- Hm?!”
She didn’t really waited for me at all, Partner immediately jumped over me and her lips touched mine, she embraced me in a long and passionate kiss, as if she was waiting for this to happen for a long time… Her lips were so soft and delicious, and her tongue was playing all around the inside of my mouth… Ahh, this girl is killing me! What’s with this super lewd kiss?!
Oh, good lord…
