Moonquest: A Journey To The Stars-Chapter 47: "I Think I’m In Love..."

Escaping the dungeon, Lewis and Goblina headed out. Dragging the loot they obtained, alongside the drops from Don Slime, they headed towards the counter at the entrance.

Dingles, a dwarven adventurer who retired years after being shot in the knee, manned it. Looking up from his hastily covered (adult) magazine, he cleared his throat, and began sorting through the loot.

"Hmm, 123 Acid Slime cores, 56 Rock Slime cores, 42 Fire Slime cores..."

Going through the loot, Dingles initially had his eyes closed, used to seeing this. But it soon opened as he started to realise how ridiculous their haul was.

"Total amount of cores obtained: 1056. Holy shit, did you guys rob a vault or something!?" Jumping from his desk, Dingles strained his already wounded knee, causing him to wince in pain. "Ouch! Anyways, what's with your luck, huh? Back when I first ventured forth, I only got 50 slimes, and that's with losing ten of my teeth!? Damn Steel Slimes, wait until I get that 'Forgemaster 2000', then we'll see who's the boss, hehehe..."

Realising that his monologue must be been heard by those two, he quickly ducked his head, blushing brighter than a tomato. "Anyways, here's the total: 10 G and 97 C. Of course, we'll take 20% as charging fees, but as a 'friend', I'll takenotndown to 17%..."

Winking with great fervour, Dingles hurriedly signalled them to take his 'hush money'. Although still skeptical, they nevertheless accepted it, for who doesn't like to save more money?

Coins jingling, the duo headed back home, giddy with joy.

Just as they were heading out of the dungeon, they bumped into a Rabbitos.

Crashing down, she looked up, angry at whoever bumped into her. "Look where you going, you son of a bi– oh, sorry..." Clasping both hands in apology, the Rabbitos woman knocked her head with her fist in, tongue out on the side. "Teehee, I'm so sorry..."

Scared, she quickly picked up what she had dropped, including what seemed to be a metallic(?) ball, dashing away in possible shame, her blue ears jumping up and down frantically.

"Well, that was weird. Anyways, how about I treat you to a..."

Shaking his head at the ridiculous farce that occurred right in front of him, Lewis attempted to ask Goblina what they should have for dinner when, all of a sudden, his mouth froze.

There stood a withdrawn woman in a corner, hiding shyly beside a lamppost. A large cloak hid most of her body, yet it could not hide her humongous assets. As she shivered there, some nearby men could not help but ogle straight at her. Although her assets were huge, it paled in comparison to her face.

Large droopy eyes hid behind a pair of thick glasses, filled with fear and confusion. Freckles dotted her face, marring her smooth skin. Thick, luscious lips quivered, betraying the emotions of its owner. Yet beneath it all, he could smell it.

The stench of knowledge

His heart began beating rapidly, his blood rushing faster than ever, his breath heavier than ever.

"I think I've fallen in love...

Cercis, the Wabbit Queen, was fuming.

Her stupid ally had gone missing, and she could not find her. "Where on Earth has that stupid bitch gone to!? I thought I told her to stay near the damn barbecue shop, but nooo, she found out that her favourite magical journal had released a new edition. Why on Earadun am I paired with such a buffoon-m– ah, there you are where the fuck on Eardun have you been!?"

And from behind her, came a cloaked lady, her glasses covered...
