[144] Life Winner!

[144] Life Winner!

"Come here, Ais, give me a massage. Others, sorry, not entertaining."

This statement immediately angered Tiona.

However, before she could say anything, Ais had already started taking off her clothes, entered the water, and swam towards where August was.

"Ais, why did you go over there?"

"August asked me to give him a massage."

"You..."

This sentence left Tiona speechless.

As a boyfriend and girlfriend, taking a bath together candidly was nothing unusual. After all, they had done everything that couples should and should not do.

August lay on a large rock, Ais sat on his back, gently giving him a back massage.

This scene left the other girls speechless, it seemed too much pampering for August.

Tsubaki smiled, took off her clothes, and jumped into the water.

"Miss Tsubaki, what are you doing? August is still here."

"I'm here, what's the big deal? It's not like I haven't seen it before."

"Huh?"

Tsubaki's words stunned Tiona, Tione, and Lefiya.

"How come? Did I not mention it before? I am also with this guy."

Yes, now Tsubaki had admitted that she was August's woman because August's strength had surpassed hers.

"This..."

For a moment, Tiona felt like her brain was not enough.

First, there was Ais, and yesterday, Haruhime appeared out of nowhere. Now, Tsubaki also admitted to being August's woman. How many women had this scoundrel provoked?

Upon hearing Tsubaki's words, Lefiya was startled, then looked at August with a dissatisfied expression.

She didn't know why, but she was angry knowing that August had somehow attracted so many women.

"Can I join in?"

At this moment, an unexpected voice sounded.

August also raised his head and saw Aki standing there with a smile.

"You are quite something, attracting one into your embrace and another obviously having a relationship."

"Fortunes haven't been cast yet. I don't know about Lefiya, but regarding Aki, there's the shadow of Finn behind her. After all, I'm crucial to their familia."

"That's true. If I were in her shoes, I would also let a bunch of beautiful women bewitch you until you couldn't find north."

"Impossible. As the master of the Sin of Lust, how could I be blinded by lust?"

"Heh~, the master of the Sin of Lust. You are indeed remarkable."

In Tsubaki's tone, there was a third mockery, a third helplessness, and a third acceptance.

Finding a man, she actually found someone who possessed one of the Seven Deadly Sins - Lust. Her fate was indeed torturous, to spend the second half of her life with such a scoundrel.

"Tsubaki, whether it's you or Ais, you are my beloved. Our destinies have already completely connected. For the rest of our lives, we are meant to be together."

"I was deceived by your nonsense. That's why I believed in you."

Although she said that, in her heart, the place August occupied was irreplaceable.

This was also the reason why, even after learning about Ais and August's relationship, she chose to continue being with him.

Love is selfish and irreplaceable. She wanted to monopolize August, but she couldn't do it. So, for the sake of this feeling, she was willing to compromise.

Not just Tsubaki, Ais felt the same way.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. How is the recent equipment forging going?"

"Why, are you thinking about my inventory again?"

"How could I? I'm just curious about so much Mithril. That's all."

"The results are decent. There are about a hundred level-one armed-grade equipment. As for some defective products and leftovers, I sold them all, making a small profit."

Last time, during mining, August gave all the Mithril to Tsubaki.

Tsubaki did not disappoint August. With so much Mithril, she forged nearly a hundred first tier equipment.

Each first tier equipment was worth millions, even tens of millions of valis. That was a considerable sum of money.

"Don't look at me. I'll give it to you when we go back. But let me tell you, there isn't a single equipment without bad attributes."

"Ah? Why?"

"Why do you ask? Isn't it because your familia gave us the task to forge a whole set of equipment with no bad attributes for you? Where is the time to forge for you?"

August suddenly remembered the task given by their familia. They had to forge a complete set of equipment with no bad attributes for them.
