Chapter 88: Chapter 88

"That... so many!" - Katya was startled by all the items brought by Juri and Luria.They were materials found on the 8th floor, not to mention they had some magic items among them.

Katya was very shocked, as she didn't expect Juri and Luria to be so strong!

"Do you wish to sell all this to the association?" - Katya asked taking a more professional stance.

"Yes, we have no use for all this anyway!" - Said Juri nonchalantly, since the best things she kept to herself.

Katya nodded, then began to evaluate and categorize everything that was brought in.

There were many precious materials, some quite rare.

Not to mention that there were dozens of Level 8 Magic Crystals.

What was most interesting was that there was some equipment, which are items that drop rarely, but there was a considerable amount.

This amazed Katya, thinking that Juri and Luria must have killed a few hundred monsters in a few hours.

As for missing the hundreds of Magic Crystals, Katya knows that not all monsters leave behind their [Magic Crystal], luck plays a big role.

But Juri has 670 Luck... needless to say, 80% of the monsters he has killed have dropped a [Magic Crystal].

Luria who is an inhabitant of this world, knows about the low drop rate of items, but seeing so many drop, she suspected and Juri said that his bandages are special, having some amplification in his fortune.

So Luria asked no more, only said not to tell anyone, for if they know of such an item, even the Kingdom will not stand still!

...

It took a little time, but Katya finished evaluating and accounting for everything, so she gave an estimate of everything.

45 Gold Coins and 3 Big Silver Coins!

In all, 45,600 Credits!

Not such a large amount, but not a small one.

Juri gladly accepted and took the opportunity to flirt with Katya, asking if she will visit them today, or if she would like to introduce them to her home!

Katya blushed and with much shyness she accepted.

Luria was happy, even though she didn't show it.

Katya was also happy, since she gets a small commission for finishing smooth transactions.

The next day continued to be an exploration of the Dungeon, Juri and Luria going to the 10th floor, where they stopped there and Juri noticed the difficulty!

The Level 91~99 Monsters are still manageable, but the Level 100 ones... the situation changes!

Level 100 Monsters have undergone qualitative changes, certainly exerting more power than 1,000 Points in some attribute.

This made Juri think of the Giant Prince, as well as Luria, Lalarins and others.

All capable of wielding more power than their Levels, since Level is linked to their highest Attribute, not their Skills.

And after Level 100, qualitative changes occur, which made Juri think that at Level 100, she became a High Human, where her HP and MP doubled!

There is also the fact that only True Riders can use [Aura] which is the case with Lalarins.

Luria uses a much lower version of [Aura], because she is still forming it, but when she passes Level 100, she will obviously have formed her [Aura] and become even more powerful!

Juri understood how lucky she was to get the [Giant Prince's Hammer], it closed a colossal gap between her Attributes and abilities, easily putting her at the peak of this world.

But if she were to face a Level 150 individual, without using tricks like she did with the Giant Prince, Juri will lose!

The whole day was spent in the Dungeon, when they arrived at the association, Katya was just short of finishing her work, but seeing them, she was excited and welcomed them.

Then Katya was amazed with Level 9 and 10 materials, where the profit this time was huge, over 100 Gold Coins!

Joyfully Juri decided to celebrate at a restaurant, as well as take the opportunity to say something to Katya.

In bed!

Juri was lying in the middle of two women, Luria and Katya.

Luria had her leg bent above Juri's, with her knee lightly touching his flaccid penis.

Katya, on the other hand, was being embraced by Juri, with more than half of her body on top of her.

Katya had a happy smile on her lips, while her head was under Juri's breast, she was looking at her other breast, as well as Luria's breasts.

"So my kitty, I have some not so good news!" - Said Juri suddenly, Luria looking and seeing that it was time.

Katya looked confused, but she was listening.

"We're just passing through here in town, so likely we'll be leaving tomorrow..." - At his words, an incredulous and soon sad look came over Katya's face.

Katya buried her face slightly into Juri's chest, her body trembling slightly.

Luria reached out and touched Katya's hair, she felt guilty, feeling that she used Katya purely for pleasure.

But the worst thing is exactly that, Juri planted that seed and Luria didn't think about the consequences.

Now they have stolen the heart and body of the little kitten named Katya.

Juri sighed and said. - "Apologies for being so sudden like this, but this town is too small for us!"

"I understand..." - Katya said in a slightly tearful tone, immediately looking at them with red eyes.

"You are strong, very strong... I know sooner or later you would leave... I just didn't expect it to be... now..." - Katya said lowering her gaze.

Juri touched her face tenderly, then gave her a kiss on the forehead and Luria nudged her.

Curious Juri looked, then Luria spoke something in her ear.

"I know it might be too much... but why don't we call her? Travel with us?" - Luria asked and soon Juri saw her expectant and regretful look.

Juri thought about it, but didn't give the invitation, as he was thinking rationally, but as Luria said...

"Would you like to come with us kitten? I know it's sudden, but we really like you, how about adventuring with us?" - Juri asked smiling.

Her words startling Katya, where her sadness calmed down and she said. - "I'll have to refuse!"

And her words surprised them both.

"Thank you for inviting me, that makes me happy, because it doesn't feel like I was just... someone you wanted to play and throw away... but I'm weak and would only slow you down... I'm pretty old, too." - Katya sighed and forced a smile at them.

"I don't think you would slow us down, because when you like and love, there is no such thing!" - Juri said smiling.

Katya smiled back and said. - "But I will still refuse, even if I wish to venture out and have stories, I know my limitations and... as I of that, I am at an advanced age, even if not apparent due to my species, I am almost in my 30's, I need to raise a family, it is past time..."

Her words surprised both of them, Juri being sad, but understanding, at the end of the back, Katya is a civilian, she has no great ambitions, even more so at such an age.

Luria bit her lips in frustration, but she understood from Katya's point of view, so she said nothing.

"So... you want a few more rounds as a farewell?" - Juri asked smiling and stroking her soft ass.

"No need... I just want to... stay like this with you guys..." - Katya said refusing.

Juri smiled and looked at Luria, where soon Katya was tucked in between the two, who hugged her and covered each other.

So they slept hugging and tightly glued to each other.

The next morning!

Katya woke up very early and left without waking Luria, because she woke up Juri, whether she wanted to or not, it turns out that the System warned her about it.

But Juri didn't say anything, he just let her go, it would be easier for both parties.

Hours later, having woken up, Luria looked at the empty space on the bed, which previously was Katya, looked at Juri and asked. - "Should we say goodbye?"

"No... that would only bring more pain to us!" - Juri said calmly.

Luria looked down, then asked. - "We did something wrong, right?"

"We just gave in to our carnal desires and our emotions overpowered us and started liking an additional person, it turns out... we can only pray that Katya finds a decent partner and has healthy children!" - Said Juri looking up at the ceiling.

"But still... I feel wrong!" - Said Luria clutching her chest.

"Luria..." - Called Juri and Luria looked at her.

"Did you enjoy the time we spent together? When we had dinner in that expensive restaurant, Katya's cute laughter, when we were in bed, her exaggerated and exciting expressions, did you enjoy it?" - Juri smiled as she looked at her.

"Yes..." - Luria said with slightly red eyes.

"That's what matters, the good stuff! Just as Katya will remember us for the good things we went through, we should do the same!" - Said Juri hugging Luria who fell over her.

"Not to mention it's not like we're going to abandon her, maybe we can come back here in the future, maybe we'll find her with a big beautiful family, or she might be focused on work or other things!"

"Life doesn't revolve around us Luria, so we should just go as the wheel turns and benefit ourselves as best we can!"

"Maybe in the future we will relate to more people, in the form of pure friendship or carnal desire, maybe we will lose people important to us along the journey, but that's life, we can't help it!" - Juri said smiling.

Luria said nothing, since the tone Juri is speaking in, is implying something much bigger.

Not to mention that she noticed a problem, when she asked Katya to go with them, it implied that Luria wishes to stay with Juri and explore more of this world.

Which implies leaving the Winter Kingdom and probably breaking her vow.

"Ah... Luria, I've never spoken to you in person, but we've been together for quite a while now and our feelings for each other is already huge, so it's time we had that talk!" - Juri said suddenly, looking her in the eye.

"Once we deliver the list and you escort me to the borders, will you stay with me or return to the princess?" - Juri asked, which made Luria look down, the question finally coming.

"That... I don't know..." - Said Luria clenching her teeth slightly.

"I'm going to tell you something, so please don't freak out!" - Said Juri suddenly, Luria looking at her confused.

"I lied about being trapped in this world, just like my family!" - Juri smiled bitterly and Luria's eyes widened.

"I in my 2nd life, got the power to travel between worlds, which only connects my world with yours, but I can also access smaller and strange dimensions, similar to Dungeons!

I entered this world out of curiosity and desire to get stronger, since I couldn't do that in my world so easily... sorry I lied, but it was easier to lie about it than to allow both worlds to connect much, since I'm the one who can open the portal to both!" - Juri sighed.

Luria was shocked, but closed her eyes for a while and said. - "No problem, but... what about your family?"

"About that... do you know what [Time] is? I guess not, since that must not have been studied much in your world..." - Juri sighed, thought about how to explain, and began.

She talked about Lines of Time, Branching, Parallel Lines and so on.

After a long time explaining, Juri finally talked about her death, which already received an explanation from the System.

She said that in her 1st life she died, since she sent her soul to the past, but it was not her past!

She sent her soul to another version of herself, in another beautiful time.

That is, the world in her 1st life, is still happening, only with her dead.

But in her current life, it doesn't mean that she is identical to her 1st life, as for example, she "lost" her parents, lover, etc., in her 1st life.

But in her 2nd life, she never had her parents, even though everything is practically the same, including people, leaders, world history, etc., her parents died much earlier, not even her "sister" was born.

In other words, in her "1st Life" she was born with parents, but in her "2nd Life" she lived as an orphan!

It was a lot for Luria to understand, but somehow she understood, but to understand she used the following analogy.

There are 2 Earths, Earth 1 and Earth 2.

Earth 1 is where Juri lived, where she died and thus sent her soul to the Juri of the past, but it was Juri who lived on Earth 2.

For as Juri used a lot of slang and analogies related to time, Luria could not understand, so she used her simplistic mind to understand what Juri meant.

And understanding, she realized that Juri is even more complicated than she thought.

So she asked. - "What more lies have you told me? I swear I won't get angry!"

Juri smiled bitterly, then carefully told many of the lies, but kept some that were essential to win the heart of this blue-skinned beauty.

Luria hearing the said lies, saw that they were more compromising things for Juri herself, so she really didn't bother.

But after a good while of talking and opening up, Luria was thoughtful, as Juri said something important, she has a unique power, which is one that allows her to travel between worlds and open cracks to special Dungeons. S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She said about being able to share some of that power with others, where it would allow her to have a deeper control over her growth.

Luria was impressed that something like this existed, but she didn't accept it right away, as she wanted to know more and understood that if she accepts it, she will no longer return to the Winter Realm.

But before she noticed, she was no longer thinking or caring that much about this fact.

But she still didn't give her answer, even when they showered, they didn't talk much.

So they left the city and traveled towards the capital, Luria promising to give Juri an answer by then.

===

(Note: I know it's sudden to talk about the System like this, but we can tell that Juri is worried and desperate, in the end she is an ordinary person with a falsely empowered mentality and protecting herself by various shells!

The protagonist lies a lot, because for her it is the easiest thing to do, not to mention that her lies got out of hand and now she was trying to fix that, because she really started to love Luria.

And not to mention that the protagonist is a human being, she lost someone important, had been betrayed, but not by people she was really close to, so she didn't develop a big distrust or anything like that.

In the end Juri Han is still pretty innocent, even if she does everything she can to not seem so, so one of her biggest innocences was to explain about the System to Luria, hoping that this will attract her to stay by her side, because Juri can't stand losing Luria.

Sure, the [Player Mind] will help stabilize Juri's mind forcefully to get over it, but it is certain that if Luria refuses even after all this, it will be a severe blow to Juri, which would take a long time to recover from.

In case Luria refuses, it can be said that Juri would change completely, not caring about anything anymore and focus on other things, before you know it she would be alone and getting stronger, but in a mechanical way.

In the end I say "in case" because much of what I am writing is on the fly, as well as using a randomness, just like Tabletop RPG Systems, I use a Dice site to roll and decide what happens next!

So when the big time comes, I will roll a Dice to decide whether or not Luria will follow the protagonist as her companion and lover!

Note that this chapter was to decide this, but I did it this way: 2~8 she would refuse 9~11 she would delay her answer, 12~19 she would accept, in case of 1 or 20, those would be more extreme cases, think on your own, if you get it right what would probably happen I'll confirm it).
