[52] Tsubaki’s Objective!
"Ugh~"
In a daze, August slowly opened his eyes.
What met his eyes was a ceiling he had never seen before. Glancing around, he realized he didn't recognize this place.
However, from the open wardrobe, he saw some cool women's clothes, confirming that this was a woman's room. Men wouldn't have such clothes.
Creak~
At this moment, the door opened, and Tsubaki walked in with a cup of hot water.
"Hey, you're awake."
"Where is this..."
"My room."
"Then, you... and me..."
August subconsciously looked at his clothes.
Although he didn't reject the woman in front of him, losing his virginity in such a hazy manner would be too tragic.
When he saw that his clothes were still the same, August breathed a sigh of relief.
Tsubaki, holding a cup of water, looked displeased. What's the meaning? Did she think she could do something to him? Even if she did something, she would be at a disadvantage. It was as if she had suffered a huge loss.
"Here, listen, Finn said you're very lecherous. Just by looking at you now, you're only strong on the outside."
"Damn it, what you did was clearly an attempt to murder. I fainted from being suffocated."
August's face turned bright red. Any man would absolutely not accept such a description. It involved a matter of male dignity.
"Humph, who knows. You're just a kid with a guilty conscience."
Tsubaki mocked, and the provocativeness of her words had a significant effect.
"You're the one with a guilty conscience. Moreover, I directly took advantage of you."
August was also angered, saying something he would never say under normal circumstances.
In front of this Level 5 powerhouse, the leader of the Hephaestus Familia, going after her? Be careful not to be overwhelmed by her.
"Heh! You're so hot-tempered. If you have the ability, come at me. I won't resist."
Saying this, Tsubaki directly took off her upper garment, exposing her body, which countless women envied.
Especially the two massive peaks in front of her were wrapped in cloth. It was challenging to find bras for such a size.
"You, don't force me. If you push me too hard, I can do anything."
"Oh? Don't push me too hard? I just pushed you today. What can you do?"
Tsubaki bent down, her ravine-like cleavage making August blush and turn red.
"Hahaha! Still saying you're not a kid with a guilty conscience!"
"I'm so...sorry..."
Slapped and sent flying, August also snapped back to reality.
It wasn't entirely his fault. Just absorbing a large amount of lust from Entertainment District had some influence, even though it had been transformed into nourishment to enhance his strength. But it still had some impact.
Lastly, combined with Tsubaki's teasing over and over, even stripping and tempting, and the sarcastic remarks, how could August endure it?
"Humph, just an apology?"
Tsubaki had calmed down now. She didn't know what had come over her today, why she was so casual with a guy she had just met. At the same time, she understood that the blame for what happened earlier wasn't entirely on August.
But understanding was one thing, whether or not to forgive was another.
"What do you want?"
"How about going to the dungeon with me tomorrow."
"Huh? What are you planning?"
"On the 28th floor, there's a significant adamantite ore. You and I will go mining."
"The 28th floor? That's the adamantite ore that's a pain to smelt, with low purity and heavy weight, so no one wants to mine it!"
Adamantite, itself, was an ore more precious than gold. Even so, when used in forging equipment, or adding some adamantite, the resulting equipment would be exceptional.
However, the adamantite ore on the 28th floor had an exceptionally low purity. If, for ordinary adamantite ore, the ratio of adamantite to raw ore could be 8:1 after smelting, the adamantite ore on the 28th floor had a ratio of less than 20:1. Coupled with the ore itself being extremely heavy and it being on the 28th floor, the effort expended was not proportional to the reward.
So, this adamantite ore had been abandoned by countless people. Of course, some blacksmiths came back here to collect it since the price of adamantite was not low, but they were still in the minority.
Tsubaki had thought about mining this adamantite ore a long time ago but gave up due to the significant cost. Now, things were different. With August, no matter how much adamantite ore they mined, they could easily bring it back to Orario.
Although the purity was very low, and the smelting rate was poor, the low cost was the key. They only needed "August," and everything else would be fine.
Of course, she herself wouldn't smelt such raw ore.
However, in the whole Orario, top-tier and first-class blacksmiths were few, and as for other blacksmiths, this kind of adamantite ore was a good thing.
Especially with this kind of ore, the price was naturally much lower than regular ore.
In this situation, even if the quality and quantity were not good, there were still people willing to take it. Just because it was adamantite.
"August, for the adamantite ore we bring back, let's split it 50-50. You're responsible for bringing it back, and I'll take care of selling it. We split the earnings in half. What do you think?"
"Not good. What you're suggesting is nothing more than an empty hand."
August sneered. Sales? Was that a problem?
In the vast Loki Familia, August only needed to bring back adamantite ore. Was he still worried about not having a market?
He wasn't the main character Bell, who had only one goddess, a youthful giant goddess who even begged for weapons.
As one of the two kings of Orario, Loki Familia, was there any need to worry about such things?
Moreover, cooperating with the Familia not only earned more profits but also contributed to the Familia. His position within the Familia could also be enhanced.
