Meanwhile, back at Tarot Town, there was a small private room above the Elvenheart Mana-Replenishing Potion Branch Store.

Inside this particular room, Austin lay flat on his back on the bed as he stared up at the ceiling with the widest grin on his face.

And why wouldn’t he?

After all, he had just received a hundred kisses from his beautiful wife, and that’s why right now there were dozens of small red lip marks scattered across his forehead, cheeks, chin, neck, lips, and the tip of his nose.

Nora had given him his kisses that morning as a way of congratulating him for completing the hundred vials as promised.

Oh, and speaking of his beautiful wife, the cute wolfkin was still in shock over what she had just done, because right after she had kissed Austin all over his face, Austin reciprocated the gesture almost immediately, and now she had been kissed everywhere by him as well, causing her to bury her face deep into his chest right now.

Of course, because everything had happened so fast before she could even understand what had happened, it made Austin’s kisses feel even more exciting, and that’s why the beautiful wolfkin had her fluffy tail wagging in excitement right now.

’It’s official!!’

’I love hubby so much.’

’He’s the best!!!’ Nora squealed internally as her tail wagged happily even more.

Of course, Austin noticed this and his grin widened as he gently patted her head and back slowly.

His hands gently stroked down to her soft butt but rose back up almost immediately, and this made Austin grin even more because he realised how Nora didn’t react and how she didn’t really mind him touching anywhere on her body now.

He could clearly see that she liked it as well, and this made him realise how much their relationship had improved over these past three days.

However, it was still a shame her affection level hadn’t grown beyond 60%.

Although he was a bit unhappy about this, he could only conclude that maybe increasing it to 70% wouldn’t be as easy as it had been before.

But still, Austin didn’t really mind this because it pushed him even more to shower his future wife with even more affection than ever before, and that’s why he had been cuddling, kissing, tickling, and sharing stories with Nora these past few days, which had truly helped in strengthening their bond even more.

Sighs

Austin sighed warmly and happily as he patted Nora’s head and soft ears once again.

"Thank you so much, Nora." Austin muttered loud enough for Nora to hear as he stared at the ceiling. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"For what?" Nora asked as she pulled her head back to glance at him.

"If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to complete the potions in time." Austin replied as he recalled what had happened a few days ago.

Right after he and Nora had arrived, Austin sat down and thought about everything that had happened so far.

He thought deeply about it all and realised he hadn’t been dreaming big or aiming high enough.

Since he had arrived in this world, he had been satisfied with the idea of earning a simple and steady income, enough to make him, his future wife, and children happy, but after convincing Rowena, an elf and a Countess no less, of his grand dream, Austin realised he had been aiming too small.

He told Nora about this, and about how with Rowena’s request for 200 vials, their estimated profits would be 25 gold coins per month, with Rowena taking 60% and Austin having 40%.

This meant that while Rowena gained a profit of 15 gold per month, Austin would be earning 10 gold coins per month.

Of course, in this era, a household earning this much without having lands or territories rented by farmers who paid them annually made Austin seem like an incredible person to generate that amount on a consistent monthly basis.

However, when this realisation dawned on him, Austin realised that he wanted more.

Deep down he had goals and objectives of giving Nora and his future children the best kind of life and luxury none of them could have ever imagined possible.

But to do this, he had to earn more, and Austin pondered on what he had to do.

He shared his desire to earn more and Nora could see that this thought truly bothered Austin a lot, so she suggested he simply increase the number of potions he would brew for the month, and this spurred Austin into working hard.

Well, that spurred him to work hard, along with the fact that Nora had promised to give him a hundred kisses.

"You gave me the courage to push beyond my limits and I can’t thank you enough for that. Oh, and your kisses played a huge part as well." Austin tickled her soft ear and Nora giggled as she leaned close to kiss him softly.

"Well, I’m glad I could motivate my future husband in my own little way."

"Yeah, you did a great job." Austin smiled as he stared at the ceiling with his hands folded behind his head.

Nora giggled and lifted her body to sit on top of his pelvis. "I know, and that’s why I want to congratulate you once again."

"Oh really? And how does my beautiful little wolf want to congratulate me?" Austin asked in a teasing tone, and Nora smiled as she said.

"By doing this." Nora leaned down to kiss him deeply as her hands held his cheeks firmly.

After spending the past few days bonding and getting to know each other better, the two had spent a lot of time kissing, so it had become one of the many favourite things Nora enjoyed doing with Austin.

Aside from that, Nora had also become brave enough to tease her future husband however she liked, since Austin clearly enjoyed teasing her a lot as well.

"Hmmm... my beautiful wife is kissing and congratulating me again, for the second time today. Are you sure you’re not secretly telling me you want to give me a hundred kisses again? Or maybe you just want me to give you a new batch of kisses in return."
