At night, after Aki skimmed over the five books he had bought for the steep price of fifty gold coins, he slept like a log before Guilda came back.

-You know, this is the first time the same woman appeared twice on my dreams. Aki said to the succubus.

-The same goes for me. I usually kill the man on the first try. Said Aranei.

-It's good to know I got one of your firsts. He smiled.

-Very funny. Now, I've got your first mission. She said.

-Would you give me the honor? He extended a hand. His suit almost hugging his skin.

-Do I really have to? She said, reluctant. A red flowy dress on her persona, accentuating her curves while her raven black hair cascading over her shoulder gave her an air of mystique.

-If you want to get rid of the figurants, then yeah. You know that. You can step on my feet all you want, I also don't know how to dance. Without you interfering it'd just be some low class nightmare. He assured her.

She grumbled and took his hand.

The music was slow, the people looked at them and their faces distorted as they started to insult them. Mostly Aki though.

-Does it really bug you that much? He asked.

-It brings back bad memories. You know I can be as affected as you while on your dreams. She said, obviously irritated.

-Do I have your permission to accelerate things a little them? He asked with an understanding smile.

-You do. She nodded.

And so he kissed her. His tongue coiling around hers, trying to please her, but ultimately he was the one out of breath.

-I thought the next step would throw us at that pit. Good stars. She said, looking around to where they had magicaly flied to.

-You could at least pretend to need to breath you know? So, what's the mission, I can probably do anything if it is inside that city. He said.

-Never been one for manners. Anyway, you need to dominate this city and summon a hundred demons. She said.

-In a way that doesn't cause problems to the demon's reputation I imagine. Some gangster is already targeting us, I will send Jade and should have made a start by the end of the… do they have the concept of weeks here? He noticed.

-They do, it's Wednesday after you wake up. She noted.

-Good. Dream me back on Sunday and I should have enough gold to start the summons and have a base on the city.

-Good.

-...

-...

-You have no idea how much time we still have here, do you? He sneered.

-None. Any good idea?

-You ever heard of romeo and juliet? He asked.

-The tragic couple from Shakespeare, yes.

-I meant the flavor. Pizza? He offered.

-Sure. And she started talking about her day.

By the way, Devim got a vacation and a cruise paid by the company.

-It's ok, we can go to a cruise later. Maybe I will even make it to your prom!

-Don't.

-Hahahaha! How's the pizza? It's from a trattoria from my hometown.

-It's shit. She nodded

-You know, a normal human would be offended. He smiled

-A normal human wouldn't have a level five Demonology skill the moment he came here. She countered.

-And I am happy you like the pizza. Guarana?

-The drug?

-I think you mean coke, the one no one knows how to perfectly replicate and shares a nickname with cocaine? He raised a brown.

-Yes, that. She said.

-Sorry, I never even smoked, even less touched drugs. I can offer you pure caffeine though, it's even worse for your system and it certainly does have a strong addictive property. He offered.

-I was just trying the joke. She explained.

-It does certainly put a smile on my face to know you care enough for me to try and crack a joke. It does give me hope though, watch out for that.

*Thunk*

She hit her head on the table.

-Do remember that I can't guarantee I will fulfill my part if this goes on and you break my heart. I will make sure to properly destroy your chances of having a good life if you just try to make a fool out of me, but you can still just say the word and I will stop. The hitting on you, don't look at me like you didn't understand what I just said. He calmly said.

-Why are you trying to court a demon if it's so troublesome. She finally asked.

-Do you really think I will simply live a good normal married life after seeing the potential I have? He easily explained.

-And I am your type? She asked

-Definitely. He answered immediately.

-You don't know me. She shoot, already standing straight with her arms crossed in front of her chest.

-That's why people date and spend time together. Did you expect me to simply ask for sex or marriage out of the bat? You know perfectly well that demons can live happily together. He said while tilting his head.

-I do. But what makes you think we could work. She asked with a stern undertone.

-In the first place, because you're considering it. Continuing on, I don't see any bad thing happening just because we tried to have a relationship, at least nothing worse than in a normal relationship. If we don't work out them I will most likely enter a depression period while slaughtering my way through things and you will be convinced you were right. While my temporary emotional collapse may seem like a problem, I am going to have one of those one way or another.

I am actually forced to say this, so, let me tell you that he mentally practiced this same presentation millions of times over the years of his life and that he is sweating buckets in his heart. It is true, I just thought there was no need for it since most who reached teenagehood should relate.

-I will think of it. I just don't know until when. She sighed.

-That is at least better than a straight no. Try to not leave me hanging, humans get anxious fast from the time view of demons. He said with relief.

-I've already synchronized myself to the world you are in now. The time delay shouldn't be too much. She assured him.

-Is that so? Them I shaw go back to work earlier but with renewed motivation. He said with a beaming smile. The rock pillar from which he raised and fell from making him wake up.

-Time to work sunshine! Aki barged into Guilda's room, startling the man and woman in bed into wakefulness.

As if not enough he opened the windows and lit the candles, making it so there was no shadow left in the room.

-I will bring your breakfast in ten, so dress up. I will use this window of time to tell the fablergasted you that I casted blindness in myself before barging in, so i can't see shit after one meter in front of me. I've got news from boss, Sis, so it's not just you who's in a happy mood!

…

-So, I've been meaning to ask, since this could put our life's at risk, but why did you get us three to carry these things?

-I am glad you asked! They are… he shouted in joy.

-SHUT UP! This headache is still kicking and I blame you for flaring it! Guilda scolded.

-Is it okay for her to go into a dungeon like this? One of the carriers asked.

All four grown and physically strong man with big bags on their shoulders.

-She's a berserker, so that much is fine. Anyway, you guys are carrying magic ammo for an experiment that I wish to perform when I have the chance in the dungeon. Aki explained with the least details.

-So it's something valuable that we could end up breaking. Said one of them, realizing they were going to have a hard time.

-No need to worry, in case of exceptional danger you guys should back off a little, but besides that it is quite impossible for something to go wrong. Aki encouraged.

After some paperwork, they finally got inside a normal dungeon, with normal monsters and traps.

That said, it just meant that Guilda charged head on against the mob of orcs they found a little after the entrance, while Aki got some things from the material satchels.

A dagger, some paste and a shiny stone. The carriers were curious about why the man just stood there while his companion was obviously being outmatched by the clear number of orcs.

One of them was about to ask if they shouldn't help, but all of a sudden, Aki stood up and threw the dagger he had on hand in an arc that would end in the back of the orcs.

Killing notifications appeared on his view an he smiled. Some orcs didn't die on the explosion, but Guilda could deal with those alone.

The carriers were pale.

-Oi! We didn't hear anything about carrying something so dangerous!

-Uh? Haven't you noticed yet? That was an enchantment. A failed one. Those explode easily. To begin with, you were carrying a hundred daggers, you a lot of strange smelling paste and you some rocks, does that not ring a bell? He smiled trying to look cool.

Unfortunately, his crowd did not understand it at all.

-We are not magicians nor adventures, how should we know?! One of them shouted.

-Yeah, sorry. Just thought you'd learn something from living around it, but it seems I have misjudged people's interest. What I was trying to say, is that those things are not dangerous unless I try to combine them, but even them it's something I was prepared for, so… he explained…

-What's taking so long? The guy who is free should come check the loot, no? Guilda screamed from a distance, in part because of the ear plugs she put on.

And so, the four terrified man felt first hand how it is to be hostages of a bomber. No breaks while walking a tortuous and stressful road, always sighting blood and gore from the victims in great deal, being shouted at for no reason… At least they saw it like that.

And so they took their first pause after four hours.

-I am beat! Aki, you're next. Said Guilda after taking the ear plugs out and sitting down.

-Hey, can any of you help me cook the orc meat? It's for your own meal too, so it's only fair, right? Unless you just want it roasted, because I am a terrible cook and Guilda… you need to take a shower. Here. Aki said while rising a earth wall, a bucket with water an tossing her a towel.

She had already been healed after every battle, but mental fatigue, soot and sweat accumulate like normal.

If this were an anime, then she'd be so soaked that her clothes would be sticking to her skin.

-Hey sis, my muscles are getting much more defined after all that leveling, do you think that if we keep going kill this we will be like those body builders? Aki asked with an innocent voice.

-Isn't that an important thing you little shit!? How will I ever get married if I turn into a muscle freak!? Find a magic to fix that now! I won't kill one monster before we that! Guilda berated after noticing the danger ahead.

-Pffff. You're so easy to tease sis! Your muscles will just become more compact with time. It's that. The more powerful you are the more refined your beauty will get. If it sis then once we get to level a hundred you will be able to slap any supermodel in the face with your beauty. Aki laughed and explained.

-Oi! Finish those preparations fast, I need to kill more shit! Guida berated while showing her face.

That actually made the man work faster.

-That's no good sis, don't you want a cuter little brother? Pouted Aki.

-I don't need that! Shouted her from behind the wall.

-It's my turn anyway. I will just enchant two daggers and we're good to go.

"Weren't those daggers exploding because you failed to enchant them!?"

The men were shocked.

-Haha, those faces are hilarious! I only failed the first two tries, the rest were simply not that good, so I decided to throw them away in a way to kill a lot of enemies.

"I thought it was going to be hard too though. I just simplified what the book said and carved what I felt the spells would be like if they were a circuit. Who would know that all that bad blabbering was because the writers had too big a spectrum!"

Even though some of the writers actually had some communication problem and/or mental disorders, that doesn't mean it is easy to enchant things like Aki said.

There is no especial explanation for it though. He is just good at it and understood the basic process, besides having fairly high mental stats. And money to practice, of course.

Though his focus here was to level up, so the moment everyone finished eating he went and started his own orc slaughter.

-Uwu, got another new passive perfect for me! Come at me you green shit, I will sell your testicle and make a fortune!

Even though the orcs did not understand what that meant, they still understood that he meant to cut their treasure out of their hips. All males and some apparently female orcs roared in rage. Which only made it so they were easier to kill.
