We arrived at Reena's door with a few minutes walk with Aiko. I knocked the door. Door opened and Reena showed herself. I smiled at her. "Good morning, Reena. How are you?"

She smiled back "Thanks. I see you have a different friend with you this time." She looked at the bow strapped to Aiko's back. "Do you intend to give the gun to this girl?" I nodded. She closed the door. "Then follow me." She started to lead us towards castle. We passed by the guards without any problem and Reena continued without stopping. After a few minutes of walking, we reached a big room with a forge. There was a man near it, sitting and drinking something.

When he noticed us, his eyes fell to Reena first, and stayed there. He stood up quickly. "What do you need my lady?"

Reena gestured for him to relax and he did. "Rachal, I need you to show this kid how to forge guns."

Rachal stopped in his tracks. "Forge, to this kid." He said pointing at me. He looked at me a bit, then he continued. "Its very hard to forge gun parts. They are not like nails, they need to be precise. Not everybody can learn it."

Reena was about to answer him but I took a step forward. "Just forge one time in front of me and I will prove I can do it."

He looked thoughtful. He then looked at me. "I will show you but you will show me first." I looked at him, confused. "I want you to forge a blade in front of me. I will judge your craft. If you do well, I will show you how to forge guns." I nodded quickly. He showed the forge and said "Then you can start."

I quickly found ingots and started working.

When I was done I looked at the blade I made. It was a normal one edged knife blade. Then I turned to Rachal to see what he thinks and noticed that I was alone with Aiko. "Aiko where are they?"

She shrugged. "They got out after a while you started. Rachal tried to tell you it was enough but you didn't hear it so they decided to do something else until you are finished." Hearing this, I first looked at the small blade I was holding and outside. It was dark.

"Did they come back since they left?" She shook her head. I sighed found a straw target for Aiko to shoot and sat at the corner meditating on my Reforge Skill.

"Kid." I looked up, it was Rachel. He showed Aiko "You seem to made yourself at home." He then turned to me and smiled. "Are you ready?" I nodded and got up. While doing that I remembered something. I quickly looked at Aiko and noticed the leather gloves she was wearing. Rachel seemingly understanding my thoughts, he chuckled. "You shouldn't make her train without any protection in her arms and fingers." I nodded. "Come here then, I will start now."

He started the forge and I felt Focus activate. After all the parts finished, he looked at me and asked. "What do you think? You think you can forge one yourself?" I nodded, albeit reluctantly. He chuckled at that and gestured me to try. I did.

I felt a bit stressed at some point at the forging but I still managed to craft them. I turned to the side to see the old man, inwardly thinking he is gone again but this time he was there. He looked a bit confused. I smiled at him. "How did I do?"

He nodded once to himself and turned to me. "You did a few parts wrong but considering this is your first time, its very impressive. You kept getting better and better while forging. Well done. Maybe you can become the Royal Blacksmith after me eh?"

"Hmm. Maybe. How much does it pay?"

He looked at me oddly for a second, then started laughing. After he took control of his lungs he turned, and looked at me seriously. "It doesn't pay much money, but it pays very good respect." Understanding his meaning I nodded. Then I looked at the screens.

"Thanks for showing me. I should go home now, no doubt they are worried." He nodded. Then I took the blade I forged and gestured for Aiko to follow. She quickly took out her arrows from the straw dude and got behind me. With a final wave we were out. It didn't took much time for us to arrive home. When we were inside, we saw that no one was awake and made our way to the bedroom upstairs.

I told Aiko to sleep which she did. I found a journal, then started writing. I was done in a few minutes since I wasn't very knowledgeable with the subject. After I was done with the writing I opened the book and started reading.

“Kid, what book is that?” I looked up from the book I was reading and saw Emerald.

“Its drawing book. It will help me design weapons.” She nodded.

“Well, I am going to prepare breakfast. Make sure to come with girls in a few minutes.” I nodded at her and she got out. I took a look at the screens.

“Nice.” I whispered and took out a parchment. I thought about my knowledge about semi automatic guns and tried to find a design accordingly. I was about to draw it when I heard a voice from the stairs. It was Emerald calling us for breakfast. I quickly got up and woke the girls. They stood up, eyes still closed and tried to look at me. Seeing this I couldn't help but chuckle. “Girls, quickly wash your face and come okay?” They nodded. I left the room. I went down stairs and found Emerald sitting on the table. Waiting with her chin on one of her hand.

When she noticed me, she smiled and said “You sure took your time.”

“Yeah, it seems I focused again.”

“I know.” She leaned closer to me. “Want to eat the desert first?” She winked.

I jumped up from the chair. “Yes. Where will I eat it, on the table?” I looked at the table like I was searching for something.

She chuckled. “Just kidding.” She turned around to see the girls coming. She waved at them while I sat back. Girls joined us on the table and we started eating. After the dinner, Sora, Sophie and Mary went out of house and Aiko went to practice her archery. That left me with Emerald, Cassie and Merideth.

After a while Cassie got bored and went up the stairs.

I looked at Merideth who was playing with her food. “Merideth.” I called to her. She looked at me. “Is somethings wrong?” She shook her head. “Did you learn anything of importance?”

“No, I didn't. Since that night, they didn't plot anything. It seems like they are actually intent to wait for their man in custody to get better. They didn't see the boss either. They just.. they kept having sex! Like they don't have a job to do.” She looked at me. “I want to do it too.” She got up from her chair and started to undress. “Lets do it on the table, like the way you want.” I nodded and started to undress while Emerald empty the table. After she got rid of all her dress Merideth lied on the table back first. I jumped on the table and reached her. Then I leaned on her and started the kiss. We kissed each other for a while before parting. It was apparent that every Beli paid to give her Sex Skill worth it.

After the kiss, I slowly went towards her belly while licking every inch of her body. When I was at her chest I started sucking. Her nipples were hard from probably all that time watching those people. I sucked and massaged her until she came and went to her crotch then started licking there. As always I started outside and gradually went inside. The moment my tongue touched inside her crotch she trembled a bit I continued slowly licking and sucking. After a few minutes she came again. At this time she was already half gone from pleasure but I still went with the last phase.

I put it in. Slowly. When tip got in blood and other fluids gushed out. Then I started doing the motion. It was great to be able to put it all in without fear. I stopped when Merideth passed out and turned to see a woman with light brown hair and bright blue eyes. She was looking at my son intently and murmuring something like a chant to banish a demon. I got closer to her but she didn't took her eyes off from my son still. Like it will attack if she do so much as blink. I waved my hand in front of her face. Then she came to herself but got red as a tomato. “Who are you?”

She looked at my face but it was obvious it was taking a lot of effort to do for her. “A-are you the blacksmith that took the quest? “She said and swallowed her saliva. I nodded to her. “Then why are you doing other things? Isn't better for you to forge the sword and be done with it?”

“Well, maybe. But its very unlikely that things will get better just because I reforged the sword. You heard about the attack here right?” She nodded. “They won't stop anyway so there is no need to rush things.” She nodded again thoughtfully. I got closer to her and winked at her playfully “Wanna do it?” She froze.

After a while she regained movement and said “I will. After you reforge the sword.” And ran away. 'I didn't ask her name.. Whatever.' I turned towards Merideth who started to regain consciousness and made my way there. I jumped on to the table and shook her a bit. She awoke with a gasp and looked at her crotch that by now nearly floating on a pool of bodily fluids. She got down from the table and looked at me oddly.

“Ash. You're not thinking of continuing right?” I nodded. “Then why.. You want to bath with me.” I nodded again, smiling. “Okay” She said and took of towards the bath. I was about to follow but Emerald cut my way.

I looked at her questioningly. She pointed at the table. I looked at it and saw fluids dripping down. “You will clean the table and the ground. Before bath. I nodded reluctantly. I found a bucket and old rags then started cleaning. It took relatively little time. After putting everything in place I ran to the bathroom thinking of catching Merideth before she got out, but it was too late. She was already clothed.

I felt unexpectedly bad. She saw my face and started to undress but I stopped her and shook my head. She smiled at me and gave me a short kiss on the lips. I suddenly felt energized. I nodded to her and ran to the bathroom.

After I was done bathing, I wore my clothes and made my way to the bedroom to design Aiko's weapons. I sat down on the desk and continued the drawings on the parchment I took out before breakfast. I started designing the parts. It took little time for every piece but when I finished I saw the designs are not as good as they can be so I started over. This happened first five times. When I was done, it was about to get dark. I took a final look at the drawings and nodded myself. 'I managed to create a semi-automatic gun for Aiko. What remains are the bullets which I doubt would be easy to make.' Then I started looking for a way to make bullets easily. First thing that came to mind was sand molds. Sand mold might the easiest but I couldn't help but thinking there might better options.

I quickly climbed down the stairs and found Emerald forging a sword. Not wanting to interrupt I sat somewhere she can see me and started meditating. After a while I heard a sound near me and looked up. It was Sora and Mary. I smiled at them. “How did it go?”

Mary smiled widely. She showed the bags on them. “Very good. We managed to catch two bounties in one day and it was so easy! You should have seen how easy it was for me to get information from people. I only ask and they answer. Did you mean this when you said people will open up to me?” I shook my head. “Still, thank you master. Its a great ability to have.” Just then Sora whispered something I looked at her to see what she wants to say but she just turned her head away. I looked at Mary who just shrugged. She continued. “We managed to make 600.000 Beli in one day. When Sophie hears this she will get very happy. She might even kiss me again.” She then spiraled out starting to talk about Sophie and her great lips. 'My harem is self sufficient. Who would have thought?'

I looked at Sora. She was still looking away but I could feel her focus on me. So I talked. “Sora, how are you? We couldn't talk much in last few days.”

She didn't talk. She just took out her mask and I felt Haki hitting me like a wave. I lost my balance for a moment but I recovered quickly enough. She looked at my face and smiled. She came to me and kissed me repeatedly. She took of my shirt and kissed my chest. 'Is she copying me?' After she is done with my chest she took out my pants, then underwear. She looked at me for a few seconds, swallowed her saliva and put my son in her mouth. She started massaging my son while moving her mouth around my sons head. She continued like that for a minute and without any sign I came. She made a gurgling sound and looked at me angrily. She was right to be angry but still, I didn't let her protest so I stood up and started kissing her. After I was done with her lips I went down to her boobs and with a flick of my wrist I freed them from their confinement. She looked surprised for a second but quickly recovered. Then I started sucking them while massaging. After a while she shook once and seeing my cue to go, I went down. I traced my finger at her crotch and found the zipper there. I opened it and saw naked skin of hers. I licked her there until she came and laid down on my back.
