'Yes! That's it. Beware opness, I am coming after you! Muhahaha!' It has been about a week since master is gone. In the mean time Sora never let me touch her. Sigh Since we are talking about Sora, I will tell you her improvements on her first seven days of life. In this time, she mostly worked on her body using methods I learned watching videos in the net on my first life. Rest of the time, she either looked out of window or played chess with me. And she made good progress.

On creation of Sora, I gave her two of my skills progress. So, sadly, it is the only reason she had Sex Skills. Other than Sex Skill, I gave her Observation Skill so she can learn by watching others. When she reach out to the world, searching for pirates to hunt, this should come in very handy. The reason I didn't give her Focus even though it is one of my very useful Skill is that I don't know what will happen if it activates while fighting, so I choose caution with this one.

But the reason for my happiness is about an experiment I made. Well, it might count as three experiments. First experiment was about if I can gain a Skill by writing books, which was a success. Second was about if I can write a reading skill book which can give me a Skill about reading, and this was also success which means my third experiment about gaining a reading skill was a success too. Skill I gained have high utilization value.

Skill Acquired Basic Writing 1/25

Increases writing speed and precision by 4%

Skill Acquired Reading 1/50

Increases reading speed and learning rate from Skill Books by 3%

It was somewhat disappointing that I don't get a bonus for Skill Books from Writing Skill, but Reading skill more than makes up for it. 'Now, if only I get a shitting skill..' Its a great skill, especially since its something I do everyday and will probably raise accordingly.

I got up from the desk and made my way to the entrance where Sora waw swinging her sword. When she noticed me, turned and said "Did it work?"

I held up the book. "Yep!"

She smiled "I still won't be reading books. Sorry." 'Well that was to be expected.'

"No problem. I will use this anyway. It will help me increase my Reading Skill faster."

She looked confused. "Why would you read it if you got the skill? Isn't better to read something else, now that you got the skill?"

"Well, it might be true in some cases but I feel it. If I raise this Skill as fast as I can, I will make better progress in the future."

"Okay." She said and continued to swing her sword.

'Damn I am bored. It seems even focus can't save me from burnout from overwork. I looked at the door. "I am going out for a while." I reached the door. When I looked from my shoulder I saw Sora with her sword sheathed, on hand. "Are you coming too?"

"Yes. I am bored from swinging this sword all day." 'Tough it seems you didn't bored enough to leave it.'

sigh "Lets go." I had somewhere to go in my mind but I didn't know how to go there. As always, I headed to the place I go when I don't know the directions. I opened the shops door and saw Alice working on a dress.

I smiled at her. "Hello, Alice. How are you? It seems you finally found something to do other than siting on a chair."

"What is it to you kid? I can sit all day if I want, I am the boss." She puffed her chest which made all three of us chuckle. "If you came for the dress you wanted, its still not ready."

I gestured my hand as a no. "No, I came here to ask directions again."

"Ash, which stone did you live under all this time?"

"Under the roof of my house?"

Alice rolled her eyes. "You know damn well what I mean, but if you don't want to tell I won't try to force you." Her eyes brightened and she turned to Sora. "So, Sora was it?"

Sora nodded. "Yes."

Alice looked at me again and asked "Sora, tell me what this man is to you?"

With a monotone voice she replied. "He is my master."

Alice frowned. And looked at me angrily. ' Ah. Game Over. It was good while it lasted.' "Kid what is that mean, is she a slave? If she is, I will give double amount of money you gave for her."

"Wow. You must be rich." She folded her arms and nodded. "But Sora isn't for sale and never was." I turned to Sora for her to support me and she did.

"Yes, I am not a slave." Hearing this Alice's shoulder relaxed.

"Well, its good to hear. Sorry for the doubt kid, but from what I heard and saw, it looked like you were a slaver."

I shook my head. "She calls me master because its in her nature to be loyal. So I don't force her in anyway."

"Okay, kid. I understand. You don't need to tell me twice. Now, tell me where do you want to go."

"I am looking for a place that I can see bounties for pirates." I pointed at Sora. "She is an aspiring pirate hunter, so I am helping her out.

She turned to Sora "Being bounty hunter is a dangerous job. Are you sure you want do it? And why would you do it anyway?"

"I want to fight strong opponents. That is my calling."

sigh "You want to find Marine Outpost. It is small, as this town and bounties are hard to come by. But if you are looking to start being bounty hunter, its a good place." Now, let me give you the directions.

After that, we headed to the Marine Outpost. We got in, there was a person in front of a desk, wearing navy blue shirt, and reading something. I made my way to him. "Hello."

He stopped reading. And gave me and Sora a look. Then asked "What do you need, citizen?"

"My friend here-" Here I point to Sora. "-is an aspiring bounty hunter. We are looking for bounty posters to see how well it pays."

Man snorted. "It pays well and demands well too. So be careful." I nodded. He then pointed to a nearby wall. "Follow that wall and straight. You will find bounty board there."

We gave him our thanks and started walking. After a while we ended up in a spacious room that has only boards and posters and a desk. There was an officer sitting on a desk, reading a parchment. We approached him. Then I smiled and asked for local pirates. He pointed to a panel and got back to his reading.

We came closer to the panel and started going through wanted lists. There were all kinds of bounties. There was a pirate with a bounty of two million Beli which is the highest bounty and named "Vivian Baka". Poster with lowest bounty is 200.000 Beli and named 'Bastille Retard'.

I turned to Sora and said "Here is the place you will be coming most, other then the blacksmith.

She nodded "How strong are these people supposed to be?"

"I don't know, but master might know. There isn't too much time left for her return anyway." But for now.." I looked at the lowest bounty, reached out to take but someone poked my shoulder. I turned back, it was Sora. She then pointed to a highly placed paper. It read 'Please stop taking the posters. Reception has a copy of them.'

sigh Lets try this for now. I took the name of the man and made my way back to the reception. "Hi there. Can you give me the poster for Bastille?"

"Yes, here. He is a brigand with good muscle power. He managed to beat three of our subjugation team by himself. And now, there is a gossip that he works for Baka . So be careful when dealing with him." I nodded and he gave me the parchment he took out under the desk. I rolled it and put it on my bag.

"So where is Bastille?" Receptionist nodded and continued giving info. It seems marines can't catch him because he was too powerful for the newly recruited marines and better marines are busy with more important jobs.

We headed to the place marine gave me. Now I thought he would be on a tavern, drinking or something but he wasn't. He was in an empty lot behind a building sitting on a big chair and napping.

"Ahm- ahm" I cleared my throat. He woke up slowly and looked at us.

"What do you want?" He looked blankly at us.

"You have a bounty on your head."

He rubbed her eyes. "So, what? You are here to catch me eh?" He gotten up. He had a very imposing figure but I knew for sure we won this. "Come!"

I took a step back and Sora unsheathed her sword but turned it to blunt side. She took a step forward towards Mark.

Marked looked at her. "What is this? Will I fight with a mummy." He chuckled. Then turned to me and smiled . "I don't know who you are but you are next. Just wait a little."

By the time he finished talking, Sora was already on him. She raised her sword and hit him in the neck. He reeled from the blow. Right he was about to find balance, he took a hit on his head but this time, fell to the ground but Sora didn't give him any time to stand, and hit him again and again. Finally after a minute of hitting, brute lost his consciousness. I looked at the bloody form and turned to Sora. "I think you need a technique to catch bounties without hitting them at the head until they are bloody." She nodded. Then we hauled the man and headed towards the marine outpost.

When we arrived, officers surprise was apparent. He got closer to the brute and looked at him. "Well, this looks like Mark. Good job. Try not to beat them this much though. Wait here, I will be getting your reward." He quickly called for another marine and got out of sight. While marine took the brute away, I made my move. One that I prepared to made all week. I got closer to Sora and said "You were great today. So Sora, we adventured together, and beat the bad guy right? " Sora nodded slowly. "Now is the time we kiss."

She turned her body to me "Really? Then okay." She came closer and closer suddenly there was a pressure on my lips. I opened my mouth to accommodate her tongue but for the life of me, I couldn't find it, nor her lips. 'What is going on?' I pushed her away and look at her.. mask. "Damn I forgot this. Now I feel like an idiot. I am pretty sure you opened your face in some point though."

She chuckled again "No master, I didn't do anything. It was all you. If you think that you are an idiot, I won't argue."

"Shut up woman."

"Idiot."

Then officer came back with a bag and lifted it towards Sora. I took it instead. It was exactly 200.000 Beli. I nodded at the officer. Opened the bag to look like I am counting and shut it again. "Its okay. There is exactly 200.000 Beli here." I sling the bag to my shoulders.

Officer looked at me and the bag behind me and said "Be careful with it, there is enough motivation for a robbery in there." I nodded. He continued "Come here any time to look at bounties. People need someone to catch these people."

"Okay, officer."

"Ah, by the way, my name is Rodwick. Come find me if you have any questions concerning bounties."

"We will, mr. Rodwick." We took off. On the way to the shop a thought hit me. 'If everything I do gets special bonuses, I wonder what would happen if I used them on skills like meditation or sigh massaging. There might be even better things too!' While I thought, I couldn't help but started smiling and of course, Sora noticed it.

"Master, I don't like your smile. It seems like a perverted thing." She looked at me suspiciously.

"No, that's not- er- completely it." Then I explained my thought to Sora, who only nodded all the time. I was finished when we arrived at the forge. I took out the keys from my pocket, right I when was about to open the door, I noticed something. It was Sora, she was nodding repeatedly, and drooling at the same time. Sigh "I need money to level her up. This can't go on."

After a while I managed to wake Sora and we made our way in. "Master still isn't here." We went to the bedroom and I deposited the bag there. "Sora, are you done?" After a yes. I turned to her and asked "Sora, do you feel tired."

She flexed her shoulders and nodded slowly, probably has a clue what kind of thing I have in mind. "Yes a little I guess."

I quickly found the blindfold I used last night and returned to the bedroom. I pointed at the bed "Sora, took of your shirt, and lie down face first.

"Master." She growled. I just held my hand up and wait for her to continue. "If you try anything perverted I will punch your thing."

"Its okay, I won't do anything perverted. Just an experiment." She folded her arms "Basically I will massage you to see if I can take away your fatigue."

"Close your eyes." I nodded and bound the blindfold. After I heard the voice of bed, I got closer.

"Guide me to your back." She did. I started massaging as much I know, meaning I put pressure around her muscles. Though it must have worked since she started to relax. "Call me when its enough."

"Yes." She said and I let Focus take me.

"Master. It is enough."

"Okay." When I tried to stand, I noticed that I don't feel under my knees. "What the hell!" I took of the blindfold and saw that my feet became light purple. "Sora, help me open my legs!" She held me under my shoulders and lifted. Then I stretched my legs as much as I can and felt the ants moving around on my legs. "Sora, what time is it?"

A pause. "Dawn."

sigh "You fell asleep right?" A nod. "Well I expected it but.. Ah well, lets see what we got."
