[27] Conversations at the Dinner Table!

[27] Conversations at the Dinner Table!

Today was a day that August found incredibly fulfilling.

He spent the entire morning hunting monsters, finally completing the mission by noon and earning five gacha draws. He drew a swordsmanship inheritance, a magic sword-grade weapon, and a ninjutsu card in the subsequent draws.

In the afternoon, back at the Familia with Finn's company, August updated his falna, further deepening the bond.

He even successfully persuaded a cat girl to join his team.

Later in the afternoon, he wholesaled forty new weapons and equipment at Babel, further enhancing his combat strength.

As August lay on his bed, he mentally replayed all the events of the day.

After the night fell, instead of having dinner, August fell asleep.

Meanwhile, in the Familia's dining hall, the members were having their meals.

"Ais, I heard that August and Aki went out together this afternoon!"

Tiona, sitting next to Ais, spoke with a plate in hand.

"Yeah."

Ais nodded, but didn't react further.

"Ais, why aren't you reacting? August went out with Aki, isn't that a big deal?"

"What's wrong? August and Aki went out, is there a problem?"

"What's wrong? This is a crisis! Aki is a wealthy cat, and she might steal August's heart carelessly!"

"Steal?"

Ais tilted her head, unable to understand Tiona's point.

Not that it surprised her, she naturally didn't care about such things. From childhood to adulthood, besides becoming stronger and fighting, she paid no attention to anything else.

Not to mention romantic relationships.

In all seriousness, even if she did develop feelings for someone, she probably wouldn't realize it herself.

"Why are you so indifferent? You..."

Thud.

Mid-sentence, a fist struck down, knocking her down directly.

"Stop instilling these things in Ais!"

Tione, her sister, walked over, utterly speechless about her little sister.

"It hurts~"

"Who asked you to blabber nonsense here? If you corrupt Ais, many people won't spare you!"

"Who corrupted Ais? Love and relationships are normal!"

It was extremely impolite to inquire about someone's schedule and purpose.

"Oh, about that, August wanted to buy weapons, so I took him to Babel."

"Buy weapons? Didn't the captain approve twenty weapons for him?"

"I don't know about that, but this afternoon, he spent 200,000 Valis to buy forty weapons!"

"200,000 Valis? This guy has quite a lot of money!"

Hearing the number 200,000, Tiona and Tione were shocked.

For them, it might not be a big deal, but for August, it was an astronomical figure.

Especially in just a few days, he earned 200,000 Valis.

"Twenty plus forty, this guy now has sixty weapons. What does he need so many weapons for?"

Tione was also puzzled. Why would a newcomer need so many weapons?

"Maybe because his fighting style causes significant wear on his weapons."

At this point, Ais, who hadn't spoken all along, finally spoke.

"Ais, do you know something?"

"Yeah, August's fighting style is quite extreme, and it causes significant wear on his weapons. Over these past few days, most of his weapons are already damaged."

Ais explained, causing the others to widen their eyes in disbelief.

"What? The weapons are almost worn out? This guy has only been here for a few days. Is he eating the weapons?"

Tiona was about to explode. She used to think she was a weapon destroyer, but now it seemed that August was even more formidable.

This made Aki curious. How did August fight to consume weapons like this?

She began to look forward to tomorrow. As August's team member, she would naturally act with him, and he would be the leader.

So, when they went to the Dungeon tomorrow, she could witness August's mystery.

And right in front of Aki, Ais, at this moment, looked up at Aki.

"By the way, Aki, how do you know August?"

Tione spoke to Aki, and this was where her curiosity lay. These two people shouldn't have any intersection.

"This is arranged by the captain. Now I am August's team member."

"Hmm? Captain's arrangement?"

In an instant, both Tiona and Tione stopped eating, staring wide-eyed at Aki, then turning to Ais.

Did it have to develop like this? First, Ais took the initiative, and now it was Finn arranging for Aki.

Even if August had a spatial skill, his preference was too obvious.
