"You're awake." Aldritch said to Greer as she woke up from sleep on his bed. She was still naked as all her jugs were up for display after she sat up. The charm of an older woman, she was not shy and frantically covering up after waking up naked.
"You're still here?" she said, blushing a little.
"Of course, where could I have gone?" Aldritch responded with a gentle smirk.
'After all, what better information source than the innkeeper herself?' at least, he expected her to have answers to his questions. At least he could get the basics before he did any further investigation.
"Say, how do I get to the capital from here? I'm not a local here as you probably can tell." Aldritch said to her as he stood up and took off his shirt.
"Well, you can just go to the train station, I'm sure you'll find a suitable ticket to get you there?" She sounded a little unsure, but then again, it was like telling someone to walk three steps forward to travel three steps forward.
'Wait, what? There are trains in this world?' Aldritch never expected it, after all, Lance didn't have any such idea in his head.
"Well, the transport fee is expensive, so maybe hiring a couch or joining a traveling caravan would be better."
"I see, it's alright then."
She watched Aldritch take off piece of clothing after another until he was naked. "W-what are you...? I still have to run this place, you know? I don't... have-"
'Ahh!! What am I doing??' Before she knew it, her hands started moving towards Aldritch's member, caressing it like a golden rod as she marveled at its properties. Now that she could see clearly under the morning light, the very weapon that went into her was now in full display. 'I can't believe this went into me...'
"Ngh~" Merely thinking of it roused her even more as memories from the night before came back as recollection of feelings and sensations. 'I-doing it a little won't hurt, I can always open later...' She convinced herself.
"How long will you stare? Lick it." Aldritch said with a grin.
Greer got closer, admiring Aldritch's big shaft for a moment while caressing it, she began licking the tip like a lollipop while massaging the length.
...
Once Aldritch was done with Greer, she was too exhausted to open the shop and had fallen asleep from it. He didn't bother too much with her. Even though she was the only one running her business, it won't hurt the market if she was out of it for a single day.
He left the place after determining that sellers would be out with their businesses and went to the market. He couldn't keep wearing clothes like a villager, it brought on him a certain kind of look. He would have used the clothes of the village head he killed, since they looked better, but those clothes were just too oversized.
Aldritch scanned the morning market quickly to find something, a place where he could buy himself some new clothes. There was also the issue of weapons, but clothes were more important at that time.
'This place should do?' He thought to himself, looking at a store towards the back of the market. The house, unlike most he had seen was wooden, and appeared to be old. Maybe it was because the time was still early, but there weren't many people patronizing that entire side of the market.
'All the other vendors had their shops in a more open and accessible fashion, I wonder why this one's different?'
Aldritch went in, coming into a small room, and the first thing he saw was an old looking man with head filled with grey sitting crossed legged reading a thick book.
The old man noticed Aldritch almost immediately and dropped the book. He approached with a composed expression, "good morning. What would you require for you to have come here?" the man asked, after all, Aldritch looked like a farmer.
"Why? Is a common man like me not allowed in here?" Aldritch asked, looking around to see what the shop had.
"Well, with those looks, you'd have to be blessed by God to be born from the house of a commoner."
"haha, is that so? I'd like to buy something to put on. I noticed this place all the way here and decided to give it a try. Show me what you have if you don't mind." Aldritch said with a warm expression which the man returned with an accommodating smile.
"Well, if you wish to buy some clothes to cover yourself, then you have come to the wrong place, this is a store that sells mercenary equipment and gear. Of course, it's expensive."
Aldritch couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as he was interested. He came to buy some clothes, but stumbled upon such a place. Even though he possessed regenerative abilities, it didn't mean there was no pain. If he could, then he would reduce the damage dealt in the first place.
Aldritch had been looking around, but was yet to find any clothes or equipment, the first room was almost empty outside the decorative design and receptionist desk. "Even better then, lead the way."
