Chapter 9 Mission Progress[Edited]

This time I was struggling against 3 goblins with my [Black Moon], they were trying to surround me to take advantage of their numbers, and I was constantly moving around avoiding that. They were the last of the group we facing since the others had fallen a minute ago, I wanted to face the elite goblin that lead them, but due to my bad luck or his, he was the first one that Kurisu knocked down and now he was lifeless in the ground.

His movements were more awkward than normal, due to the pressure of [Soul of the Emperor] that I exerted, I was tired of waiting for one of them to attack because they only kept their distance and looked at each other as if to convince the other one to move forward.

Having enough of this strange dance between them and me, I charged at the one who was positioned directly in front of me, this one after seeing me it brandished his club, a bad idea on his part, my sword had even left deep marks on a metal sword so a simple stick was a just laughable, unless I hit an angle avoiding contact whit the edge the result was predictable.

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

By the time the blood spurted from the goblin's I neck 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 in it making a red line on the ground.

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

"Grouw"

Let's get this over with, it's getting late and don't want night 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 being desperate and without any weapon in his hands.

He threw himself at me and I avoid it taking a step aside, with his exposed back I cut his neck without being too deep for the head to come off. He lost his balance and fell to never get up again.

[Beep]

[Alexander level up to 8]

[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 doubt

Again I realize the power of firearms, they are practically killing machines designed to counteract the 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 shoot ... I can now understand why they say that wars can bankrupt a country.

"I will collect everything and then we’ll go to the cave Kurisu”

I told her who is approaching after seeing that the last goblin had fallen. And as mentioned before I collect their bodies and if they still breathe I finish them off. When I get to the elite goblin I’m surprised.

"Great! Another chest"

"What happened?"

Kurisu asked looking with intrigue at the chest that I raised my hands, 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 ... so let's hope it's a good thing"

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

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, it was more effective than just depending on 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 speak sitting down on the floor carelessly and without worrying about getting dirty. Well, I should prepare the food or bathe.

"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 to do it if you feel safer that way."

With my words she began to sniffing herself discreetly, I don’t think she smells bad, in fact, I think her aroma would be pleasant ... I mentioned it because she will feel refreshed and take away her fatigue, not that I’m complained 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, 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, also a shy one, and she would not like to do it in front of someone. I will have to buy something to do it in a way that she feels calm.

"You can use this canteen as a shower, do not be fooled by its size, it has enough water inside and here are the shampoo and other utensils for you to wash"

"...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 whit honesty that was not difficult.

"I-Idiot"

"Then I'll prepare dinner, you can bathe in peace"

"Aah"

"What happens?"

"I have no change of clothes"

I went back into the system and looked for women's underwear, a shirt and pants and handed to her. They were not my preferences, she used to dress like that.

"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 supplement pills in the afternoon. They can fill your stomach, but to be honest... normal food is still better. 

In addition, our meet reserves are running out, maybe I should hunting more than goblins tomorrow...

"Don't go spying on me Alex or I'll really get mad" 

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

"Don't worry Kurisu, I'm concentrated cooking"

Not five minutes passed when her voice came from the other side of the curtains while the sound of the water accompanied 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 you want me to do it"

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

Even I began to get exasperate with such insistence, well, let’s joke with her to get her distracted.

"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 was heard abruptly ... I looked up and there were the heavens manifested in a person ... no doubt her body reach perfection. Apparently she was one of those people whose clothes make them look thin, her breasts were larger than I thought, exceeding the small size and entering the moderates ... I also confirmed that she is a natural redhead watching 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 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 I 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 hide 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 yourself]

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 only because she had bathed previously. 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 do it!!”

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

"Huummp"

"Now let's todays result"

I change the subject to soften things and make Kurisu's mind get distracted to 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]

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

[Kurisu, as your summon and as part of your team, her performance will also be counted as yours for the missions, unless the system specifies that it is something that you have to do personally, if an 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, more than half of the goblin 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 complete half of the mission. Now let's see how many bullets we have left"

Saying that, I look into the inventory, 96 bullets 9mm and 22x7.63mm ... damn, they disappear fast too. Kurisu didn’t use 9mm bullets, but I do, 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 wasted a lot of 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 good as we did together. Thank you"

"... I understand, it's good 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 carry the first one and 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 leather lizard 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 plus a box of 100 7.63mm bullets and a scroll.

[Scroll "Fireball-I"]

Shoot a ball of fire at the designed target, you need 10 crystals to activate it. 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 it. But the ingenuity of intelligent individuals has always tried to find solutions and means to undo limitations.]

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, great.

"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 one mentioned 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 see her and she had on her face a smile of mockery. I see, she wants to make fun of me to get even ... Kurisu, Kurisu, Kurisu, you're too naive by saying such type of jokes to me.

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

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 they only remained in gestures. I unfasten the belt of my pants and continue lowering it without hesitation staying in underpants 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 take the elastic of the underpants with my thumbs and play with it, unable to bear it anymore she turned around and ran inside the cave while screaming.

"I-idiot!"

"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 proceed to undress completely and enter the bathroom structure. 15 minutes later I feel 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 go to the cave.

Inside was Kurisu 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 one in the system and extended 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]
