Chapter 19: Toxic couple.
"It's almost time for me to leave."
After I finished giving a teeth-to-teeth punishment to this wild and taking my bath, I was getting ready to leave here.
Anyway, I reached my start goal by coming to this inn.
Yes, if my lust points dropped from zero, I'd be in big trouble.
So I intended to pay the hostess who would come here. But instead of a hostess, it was the innkeeper.
Never mind; I can't complain about it. From here can, she'll probably forget everything that happened to her, as in the game, and I'd become a simple stranger to her at our next meeting.
That makes the two of us winners.
After buttoning my last chemise button, I opened the door of my room.
But the person waiting for me behind the door was none other than Jane.
"Yo, Darling-Kun; your face radiates life, have you lived a thrilling moment?" Her monotonous voice resounds with a mix of anger and embarrassment on her face.
What is she doing here? I don't remember having any...! Ah, I guess it's to meet her boss.
As Isaac was in his thoughts, Jane glances inside the room and looks at Isaac with irritated eyes. "Say, Darling-Kun, what do I see? Are my eyes starting to play some pranks with me?"
"...Forget her, she's a naughty girl who tried to do me naughty things." Isaac leaves the room and locks the door behind him.
Jane's eyes curl up when she hears Isaac's words.
But she didn't pursue the subject.
She then fits behind Isaac and explains to him the reason for her presence.
"As I announced earlier, we have to meet my boss today. She's the one who'll be able to tell you the location of the Pure Blood plantation."
"...Your boss must be an influential person in this city." Isaac expresses his thoughts out loud.
"Yes, she is. In addition, she is more powerful than you and me." She speaks with admiring eyes as if she were the founder of her boss's fan club.
"Oho~? I didn't expect you to be able to admire anyone." Isaac mutters with a mischievous smile on his lips.
Jane, who was going down the stairs at a steady pace with him, suddenly stops.
"She's a great person." She speaks in a serious tone and a sincere smile she never addressed to Isaac although she owes her life to him.
And for the first time, Isaac could perceive her true feelings through her eyes; even if it was only a period of time.
She then continued, passing Isaac who looked at her with dubious eyes.
'...'
"Are you coming? Unless you prefer to deceive me again with this beast woman?" Her cynical smile resurfaced.
'Sigh, I hope not to be disappointed.' Isaac whispers in his mind as he follows Jane.
The latter no longer had her old outfits, but a black jacket, and black jeans that had a chain decorated with bright blue crystals. Everything was regular; except that the chain on her jeans and her long leather boots didn't seem to be simplistic.
Once on the ground floor, Isaac frowned, noticing the hostile look at him from other customers and receptionists.
"...I will return the card to the receptionist and we will leave here." He said in a cold voice.
Feeling the sudden change in Isaac's tone, Jane also looks around her before sighing mysteriously. "...Alright." She nods innocently as she follows Isaac closely.
Arriving in front of the receptionist, a woman in her 20s with turquoise brown eyes and long black hair, Isaac slides the access card towards her. "I intend to take leave."
The woman looks briefly at the card before smiling at Isaac.
"Dear customer, I understand that one of our hostesses had disappeared since she brought you back your dinner last night."
"Yes, she's resting in the room. She told me to go first; saying she didn't feel very well." Isaac responds instantly as if he expected such a situation.
The receptionist frowns. "Well, I'm sorry, sir. But you can't leave this hostel."
"Why then?"
The woman looked surprised when she saw Isaac's nonchalance. "Do you see...
While speaking, she waved her hand to the others who got up on their chairs and surrounded Isaac and Jane.
"...Our employees' safety takes precedence over everything." Her voice became cold; contradicting her old smile.
"I see; it's unfortunate but I'd like to avoid any bloodbath if possible." Isaac also mutters by placing his hand on his sword hanging from his waist.
In just a few seconds, the atmospheric tension became unbearable because of the negative and hostile feelings that prevailed.
A floating black box appeared in front of Jane. "Ah, Darkling-Kun~, it was a very bad idea to be mistaken for a princess who has several suitors. Now, the jealousy of his suitors prevents them from letting you go." While muttering these words next to Isaac, she takes her blue light sword out of the box.
"...It seems that I didn't have the right to touch her. But she wasn't a virgin; how do you explain she has so many suitors?" Isaac also draws his sword while continuing to play the twisted couple game with Jane.
The latter had an ironic smile. "You have no scruples. Daring to cheat on me, and tell me in the face, my heart bleeds in my chest; I will be forced to kill myself."
At the same time, the receptionist and the others also show their weapons.
But just before they began hostilities, the two stopped momentarily when they saw Nohhah's silhouette appear on the stairs.
"Let them go." She speaks in a deep and authoritarian voice.
Her order was instantly executed by half of the crowd.
She didn't sow confusion only in Isaac's heart, but also in everyone's.
The receptionist looks at Nohhah with dark eyes. "Miss Nohhah, what are you talking about as nonsense!? If these two come out of here alive, our...!" She swallows up the rest of her sentence by seeing the fierce glow in the look that Nohhah was throwing at her.
"Sigh, Put your weapons away." She orders in a grumpy voice with her heart swollen with rage.
Following her order, the others who weren't under Nohhah's influence lowered their weapons.
She looks at Isaac before snorting arrogantly and going back upstairs.
The others sat in their respective places and monitored Isaac and Jane.
'Why did she give such an order to her henchmen and puppets? Is she still under the effect of charm? Or maybe it's a side effect of skill?' Despite all the questions Isaac asked himself, he didn't have a single reliable answer.
'Finally, I always ignore things. But this isn't the time to worry about these details.'
He then looks at the receptionist with a sneaky smile. "It was a pleasure to spend the night in your inn; I'd come back if the opportunity arises."
"..."
Seeing her still hostile to him, Isaac shrugs his shoulders and turns his heels towards the exit.
After their outings, Jane accelerates to walk side by side with him.
"Darling; I'm a little worried." She says in a restless voice.
"About what?"
"Until now, I had never had a rival, do you think she will manage to get ahead of me?"
"..."
"I may be shorter than her, but I'm still quite tall with my 165 cm height. My curves are also perfect and my breasts are...-
"Jane, do you realize what you're doing?" Isaac stops when he sees Jane not only saying such words in the street but also touching her chest; attracting the attention of passers-by.
Seeing Jane tilt her head with confusion, Isaac's heart tightens in his chest. 'Oh god, I thought she was immature despite her age, which is the equivalent of mine; but she simply doesn't have common sense.' He almost scolded Jane out loud.
But knowing that it was going to be useless, he continues to move forward.
'I feel stupid to care about her image. She will soon be a stranger to me.'
Throughout their path to Jane's so-called boss, Isaac endured all of Jane's senseless and vulgar words without flinching.
--
After ten minutes,
"J-Jane, why are we here? Isn't that the place you called the residence of this plantation's mistress?" He asks with confused eyes when he saw Jane heading towards a luxurious mansion that had guards dressed in medieval armor all around.
Jane throws an innocent look at Isaac. "Did I forget to tell you my boss is also the leader of our guild?"
"..." Isaac's eyes darkened.
'So I wasn't mistaken about her; despite her absurd character, she's dangerously intelligent. It's because of this same nonchalance that she manipulates people with so much ease.' Isaac mutters in his mind while looking at the guards in front of the main entrance of the black mansion.
'These guards are all level forty and above; I expected everything but that. So, what will be the level of this woman who says she owns this city?
I don't want to get involved in their business, but I need to have an audience with her to learn more; especially since she's also a God-like Online player.'
Seeing Isaac's dark and hesitant eyes, Jane exhales a puff of hot air.
"If I had told you who my boss was, would you have accepted my request?" Her question awakened Isaac in his deepest thoughts.
"It's not like she's going to try some bad tricks with you as these spies; she just wants to talk to you."
Hearing Jane's words, Isaac had an ironic smile. "I don't think this innkeeper can stand up against you. You may be far from reaching her physique, but you have something more attractive than her."
Jane frowns. "I'm supposed to be reassured by your compliments, but I've chills all over my body. Darling-Kun, should I be wary of you or be happy?"
Isaac's smile dangerously grows up on his lips. "Do as you feel; it doesn't matter to me."
"..." A cold glow stealthily crosses through Jane's eyes when she sees Isaac's smile and listens to his threats.
"Sigh, with your mind that's not too smart, I doubt that you have forgotten my words."
"Your words?"
She then looks straight into Isaac's eyes with a dark smile. "Darling-Kun, if you remember correctly, I said I was not your enemy."
"And then?"
Hearing Isaac's question, her black box appears before her once again.
But instead of a weapon, she took out the digital watch she puts on her wrist.
Isaac looks at her actions with suspicion.
But she ignores Isaac who was still waiting for the rest of her sentence. "Picky, pop up the gifts I had left in the inn."
[At your command, Miss Jane.]
'What is she--
-B000MM!!!
Before Isaac finished his sentence, an explosion made the ground tremble under their feet.
Isaac frowns when he saw the place Jane had just exploded; the inn!
He then looks at Jane who had an innocent smile on her lips.
She finally continued her sentence by seeing that she had all the attention of her only spectator. "I prefer to keep our alliance; Darling-Kun."
"Ha..hahaha."
"Why are you laughing like that?" She raises her eyebrows slightly when she sees Isaac's unexpected reaction.
The latter looks at her with ferocious eyes. "As I said rather, the innkeeper will not get to your ankle; Jane."
"..."
"Finally, I can't wait to meet your mistress; are you guiding me?"
Her smile became grandiose when he heard Isaac's words. "All the pleasure is for me, Darling-Kun." She clings to his arm and the two walk towards the mansion.
