'I can deduce that Fabio wanted to curry favor with Yair, and therefore add a connection to his guild. After all, he is the guild master of the Golden Lion guild.'

'Me helping Yair and the magic flare was only used to help move the wounded must have ruined his plans, and the fact that at the time one of the nobles added fuel to the fire, made Fabio see me as a nuisance.'

'I don't know how he must have realized that I'm the Golden Archer. But, if he thinks I'm a thorn in his plans, so is he in mine!'

'But... Wait a bit. Something doesn't fit here.'

'If he knows I'm the Golden Archer, then why didn't he aim directly at me? Could it be that...'

'Since they are going to gather personnel for the guild war tomorrow, I need to infiltrate their ranks to confirm my suspicions. Of course, I'll take my revenge anyway.'

'"By the way, you guys... What relationship do you have with that guild?" I spoke to the 4 Warriors accompanying the 3 annoying beauties.'

'''Haa... We want to join the Golden Lion guild. And for that, we were ordered to be a part of this mission. If we pass it, then we would be one step away from being accepted."'

'If the 3 annoying beauties, Alessia, and I weren't at that moment, I fear their trial by fire could have cost them their lives. Are all guilds that cold? If I were the master of a guild, then I would treat them better.'

'Indeed, I would only accept pretty women and gladly warm their beds to keep them from getting cold at night.'

'That's what a guild master does!'

'"Puppy, since when did you get so good with a sword?"'

''- Puppy?' Alessia immediately became alarmed, but then realized that it was Miria and calmed down. She swings to the other side, after all.'

'"Ah, right. You guys have only seen me with the bow, but at that time I was just practicing with it. I'm better at fighting with a sword. I have been trained from a young age in this weapon. If you don't believe me, you can ask Alessia."'

'Hearing her name, she came closer and said, "It's true, his parents also trained me. Emir and I are more skilled at fighting with swords than with any other weapon."'

'For a second they were surprised, and then smiled.'

'"That's good. You were preparing for the upper floors of the labyrinth, huh? We tried to use a different weapon, but we couldn't achieve a decent level. In the end, we went back to the weapons we have used for a lifetime," Irina said.'

'"I wanted to use a bow, but it broke after breaking all the arrows," Miria said with wet eyes, as if at any moment she would start crying.'

'"I tried to use only a sword, but I couldn't. Without a shield, I felt uncomfortable." Zia sighed.'

'There are weapons with which it is easier to defeat certain types of monsters. Using another weapon in such cases is not something strange. What is strange is to be able to wield the secondary weapon with the same skill as the primary. Only people counted on the fingers of one hand can perform such a feat.'

'With the reward divided, the 4 Warriors said goodbye to us and walked in the direction of the Golden Lion guild. Taking advantage of the atmosphere, Alessia and I also took our leave. After all, I have a lot of things to think about.'

'After returning the leased horses, we headed towards the forest.'

'"... Space Travel" an illusory door appears in front of me.'

'I already know the spell by heart. I can cast it at high speed without even making a mistake. But even so, the time needed is still too much to be used in a battle. I'll die from the enemy's attack before I finish reciting it.'

'Apparently, I have to pay a visit to the capital's guild. The mission I entered into the adventurer's guild must have already been accepted by someone.'

'After crossing the illusionary door, we appeared directly in our house, located in Dominir town. The smell of new house made both of us instantly relax.'

'After all, our home is a safe place where we can let our guard down.'

'"Shall we bathe together?"'

'There's no better option to relax. That's why I made these words known. More was my surprise when I realized that Alessia blushed a little.'

'Right. After the bath, it's obvious what will continue. Especially when I spanked her last time. Did she remember it and that's why she blushed?'

'Smiling, I walk up to her and hug her back.'

'"To date, we have made love in a library, in the labyrinth, on a meadow, in our bedroom, on the balcony, and in the dining room. Don't you think it's time to add the bathroom to our list as well?"'

'"We also did it in a carriage..."'

'"But that was just a few little games... Do you want us to make love in a carriage next time?"'

'"No, thanks. I'm not interested."'

'In the carriage, there's more chance we'll get caught. It's obvious why she wouldn't want to. She was very upset that time we had sex near a door in the labyrinth. If it wasn't for me confessing my love, I fear Alessia would have been angry for several days.'

'"The subject got sidetracked. Shall we add the bathroom to our list?"'

'"Hmph."'

'At her snort, I simply kissed her neck and guided her towards the bathroom. Without even putting up a resistance, she walked with me.'

'This closet masochist.'

'As I enter the bathroom, I head towards the large barrel that stores water and pick up a bucket to manually enter the water into the tub, but then I ask myself the question... Will the water be able to be stored in inventory?'

'I casually put a hand inside the barrel and touch the water, then I check my inventory and try to store the water like any common object.'

'"!!!"'

'Not only me but also Alessia was surprised, after all...'

'The water completely disappeared from the barrel!'

'"Had you ever tried to save the water in your inventory before?"'

'"Yes, but I couldn't. Only through objects that contained water inside them did I ever manage to get the water indirectly," she replied.'

'With this, limitless possibilities open up before us. Such as blocking fire magic or putting out a fire in just an instant. Dozens of ideas come to mind, but the most important at the moment is... Storing hot water. That way I can bathe in tubs more often and, with that, have sex in tubs more often!'

'It's very important this last one… I'll leave a mental note.'

'"Does this tub have a fire stone in it?"'

'"Yes, when Hector rented me the house, he said the tub had a newly purchased fire stone. That's why he didn't lower the lease price, even though I insisted"'

'Fire stones are relatively common, but they are expensive. Only a few people buy them. They are not considered magical objects because both their appearance and purpose seem very close to nature. As long as a pinch of mana is injected, the stone will redden as if it had been in contact with fire, and will burn everything around it.'

'It does not distinguish between friend and foe. That is another reason why it is not considered a magical object. But the main reason is that they are naturally found near volcanoes, and are more like a mineral than something magical.'

'I walk over to the tub and open the fire stone compartment. Inside is a stone that visually looks very ordinary. Touching it with one of my fingers, I felt the mana being forcibly taken from me. And, the next second, the stone began to heat up at great speed.'

'After putting the lid back in place, I check my inventory and release the water into the tub.'

'*Fssss*'

'On coming into contact with the water, the stone generated steam around it. Seconds later, the water heated up, and the stone returned to its natural color.'

'"These stones have a very small lifespan, so it would be best not to use them so often."'

'"They are common. So, we can buy more, don't worry."'

'Alessia:''..."'

'- It's the first time I've heard someone treat fire stones like any common item in the neighborhood store...'

'After undressing, we rub soap on each other as the family custom of the Emir house dictates. While I wash her by spreading the soap with my hands, she does it with her breasts. Without realizing that this part can be considered foreplay, we both feel very excited while this is happening, so it's not wrong to call it that.'

'Only then do we get into the tub.'
