We were all listening in on separate conversations for some time and we managed to get some information but I still have some things I want to know and I don't know if I'll find out if I just keep listening like this but then I realized that one of the waitresses was a Dhampir, plus it looked like being paying close attention to the conversations around you.
"(She's a gossip.)" (I)
I watch her a little longer and notice that she is always around to listen when people start talking, besides that she always seems to enter other people's conversations, and whenever she comes back for more food or drink I see her stop to talk to other waitresses.
"(Master, what are you thinking of doing?)" (Orion)
"(How do you know I want to do something?)" (I)
"(Everyone at the table noticed, they're all looking at you.)" (Orion)
"..." (I)
I look around and see my companions looking at me, Barok was the beginning who was concentrated elsewhere, he is looking at an Adventurer with a muscular body and a big hammer on the side, it seems Barok likes very strong looking women.
I shift my attention back to Orion who was on my shoulder helping to completely hide my Aura, I was talking to him in my mind using our connection.
"(Am I thinking of using the Aura tricks I learned from Ragnar?)" (I)
"(Which one?)" (Orion)
"(The one you said you would never use?)" (Orion)
"(Yes, I thought of a way to use it while avoiding the worst case scenario.)" (I)
"(But I'll want help from him later.)" (I)
"(I'll need you to watch the surroundings so I don't get interrupted.)" (I)
"(Alright.)" (Orion)
After talking to Orion and explaining to the others that I'm going to do something, I call the waitress to order more food, she arrives with a cake of notes to write everything down and we all order more food and drink.
Barok had gone to the entrance to the restaurant which as most had a few rooms for rent on the second and third floors, he went to rent a room before returning at my request.
Since she approached I realized that she is just a normal person, her Aura is weak, also I don't feel much mana, Ki, or Spiritual Energy.
I also noticed that she has no control over her Aura, it seems like she can't even sense her own Aura, let alone that of others, this might be even better for my first time doing something like this with someone else.
I use my Aura turning it into a line so as not to be noticed by the Adventurers around, they don't seem to have the strength or capacity for it, but I prefer to be cautious.
I use this thread of my Aura to connect to the waitress' foot where no one will be able to see what's going on, so I activate my Aura effects that I've never used before the seduction and desire effect.
As I do this the waitress's body shakes slightly as if she had a chill, she loses her balance momentarily and I hold her so she doesn't fall, she looks into my one eye since I'm wearing a patch over the other one, I can see a different sparkle in your eyes.
She gets up trying to pretend that nothing happened and continues taking food orders from everyone at my table, but she changes her gaze several times to me as if she couldn't get away, at that moment I activate a third effect on my Aura, this time it was lust.
The waitress's body trembles slightly and I can see a strong glint in her eyes now, she can't take her eyes off me anymore.
"(Now is the time, I hope she does what I imagined.)" (I)
"I'm a little tired and I think I'll go to my room." (I)
"Here's the key, we're leaving in an hour, see you tomorrow." (Barok)
"See you tomorrow." (I)
Barok talks to me as if he's the leader as he tosses me the room key, I take it and smile at the waitress increasing the strength of my Aura on her a little, then detach myself from her severing my Aura's connection to her but leaving a part of my Arua in your body that will hold the effect for a few more minutes before it starts to fade.
I walk to the stairs and go up to the third floor, on the way I hear the waitress running towards another and delivering the order that I had already taken, after that, I hear her talking about something with the waitress.
"You take care of the orders at that table, I have to go out for a few hours." (Waitress A)
"We're almost at the busiest time, you can't go out like that." (Waitress B)
"I have to get out just a little bit, I'm going to go crazy if I don't go now." (Waitress A)
"You're not going after that Vampire, are you?" (Waitress B)
"I can't resist, something about him attracts me." (Waitress A)
"Are you going to cheat on your husband again?" (Waitress B)
"Forget about that useless guy, he's always on the brothel street and he thinks I don't know, if he wasn't good in bed I would have dumped him by now." (Waitress A)
Sigh
"I'll help just one more time, but you'll have to do the same for me when I need to go out with my boyfriend." (Waitress B)
"Deal closed..." (Waitress A)
I stopped before starting to climb the stairs to the third floor to continue listening to the conversation, I was surprised that she was married, but I was more surprised that the marriage was between two people so unfaithful.
When I started to hear the noise of the stairs I finish going up the stairs and I go to how much, before I close the door the waitress panting for having run up the stairs prevents the door from closing with one hand.
"Wait sir... I think you forgot something... forgot to enjoy dessert..." (Waitress A)
As she spoke I smile and let her in while I reconnect my Aura with her, I've only been using around 20% of my Aura's strength with her, I didn't even need to use all the effects I wanted to test, but I think if I do it can cause some trouble, so I'll just stick with Seduction, Lust, and Desire.
"< Sound Barrier >" (I)
When she walks in I use my strength to scoop her up in my arms and throw her on the bed, I poop a Sound Barrier around the room and sit on top of her while holding her hands behind my back.
"First of all, could you tell me a little more about this Kingdom." (I)
"Who cares about this Kingdom..." (Waitress A)
I use the effect of my Ruler Aura without increasing strength.
"Do you know why so many soldiers are in town?" (I)
The waitress's eyes were cloudy and she was breathing heavily as she squirmed beneath me trying to free herself, but my strength was much greater than hers so she didn't stand a chance.
I wouldn't do anything to her, doing something to her like that would be like controlling her mind for fun, which I never will, I'm just doing this to get the information she must have collected over days working in this place.
After I get the information I want I'm going to put her to sleep and leave, I'm going to let her dream whatever she wants and tell Nix to leave her naked on the covered bed so she can think something happened without causing me any more trouble.
