Chapter 102 Murder Scene
In the end, it ended up with everyone wearing only underwear to bed. No matter how many times Alice tried to put the nightgown on Miri, she would take it off. Alice gave up after the fifth time and now everyone was lying in the same bed. Miri ended up with half the bed while Vance laid there with Cynthia on one side of him, Sally on the other, and Alice in her normal spot lying on top of him.
The next morning, Vance woke up to find Alice and Sally gone. Cynthia was passed out next to him. And on his right was a new face who somehow was now sleeping half on top of him. "Eh…." Vance felt like he had been in this situation before. No, this situation has happened more than just once before but two times, and now it seems to be a third time.
"Mmm. Sister Frisia, don't tease Miri, give Miri more sweets! Nom!" A set of wet lips fell onto Vance's arm causing him to freeze for a second until…
"Ouch! Miri, I am not food!" Vance yelled out, pulling his arm out of the weird girl's embrace and holding the spot she just bit. Miri half opened her eyes and looked around in confusion. Her eyes met with Vance's as she looked down at him before looking down at herself.
"It seems, I have sinned?" Miri asked while touching her chin with her finger and tilting her head to the side. It was a very cute motion, but Vance couldn't figure out why she was paraphrasing it as a question!
"Miri, we did nothing for you to have sinned anything. You should get up and wash your face. I am sure Alice and Sally will be back with breakfast soon." Vance said with a sigh. He had to admit this girl was airheaded but very beautiful.
"Okay…." Miri got up and began taking her bra and panties off. Vance, unlike Alice, said nothing and watched the entire time without blinking. Miri did not seem to notice anything as she looked around for a place to put her underwear before seemingly thinking it was too much hassle and dropping them on the floor before walking to the bathroom.
"Did you get a good look?" Cynthia's teasing voice entered Vance's ear.
"Very much so. She is quite the looker." Vance answered honestly. He felt no reason to hide it.
"You are honest. I like that." Cynthia said as she leaned up and kissed Vance's cheek before sitting up and stretching. "I will go handle the priestess. This way, Alice will have a small break. I do feel bad for the girl. She has such a big heart trying to help someone only to be stuck with an airhead who can't follow simple directions. I do worry about the girl's trip to the capital."
"Yeah, I can understand that. Just tap my shoulder when you are done in the bathroom. I will go work on potions for now. We need to stockpile and begin selling what we can." Vance also got up off the bed and stretched. A set of arms slipped around him as Cynthia took advantage of the situation. "When we get more materials, I will start learning trade skills as well. I was thinking of taking up forging if possible."
"You can once we get a guild deed," Vance answered as he patted Cynthia on the head.
"A guild deed, huh? So you are planning to start a guild? Wait, do guilds exist in this game yet?" Cynthia was very confused. She had not heard of such things as of yet.
"They will be during the next event that will be held in two weeks' time. Until then, we need to get your level up quickly and have enough armor and potions to get things going. Oh, speaking of which. I never really asked, but what do you plan to go, sword and shield or two handed?" Vance knew that Cynthia used a sword in his past life, so he was unsure if this was still the same as before.
"I will go sword and shield if I am to be your main tank. The more damage I can mitigate, the better it will be. We still need a main healer, though." Cynthia sighed as she let Vance go and began walking to the bathroom. "I better hurry before she ends up getting lost in the bathroom."
Vance nodded and watched the girl walk away. Just before she entered the bathroom, she blew him a kiss and winked at him, causing him to chuckle. Now alone, he went to the small table and began pulling out ingredients for health potions. He wanted to have a good supply for selling and personal use.
Ten minutes later, Cynthia came out of the bathroom with Miri looking exhausted. "I have to hand it to Alice. She really can deal with this girl. She can't do anything on her own!" Letting out a long sigh, she turned to see a strange sight. " Hmm? Miri, why are you suddenly bowing to Vance!?"
"Holy potions are the gifts of the saintess, so I have to show proper respect. Anyone who is able to craft holy potions is on the same level as the head priestess!" Miri replied strangely in a normal way but did not dare raise her head.
Vance was too much into his crafting to really care about what was happening around him, so he did not notice the priestess bowing to him. Cynthia, on the other hand, decided to ignore it. She was too tired from dealing with the damn girl anymore. She walked over to the bed and fell face first on top of it.
"We are back….. What is going on now!?" Alice looked at Cynthia, who was half lying on the bed face down as if she was dead and then at the priestess, who was bowing to Vance in confusion. "Why does this look like a murder scene, and the one who did it is trying to be forgiven for their crime!?"
