Chapter 41 - Time To Upgrade Equipment Again!
.

After waking up, we decided to wash in the bathroom, but this ended in us doing it again over and over… However, after that, we finally got ourselves ready to challenge everyone downstairs.
We walked downstairs as we were greeted by… no one.
EH?
A second after, I got a telepathic message from Ervas, who was hunting outside with everyone else, it seems that they miraculously left right before we began… Phew, that's lucky.
I guess the plot armor is helping me evade these awkward things instead of giving me a sudden edge in battle.
Wait, I would like the edge too!
Is there a plot armor skill around?
Probably not… But I could one day make it! Who knows?
Anyways, we decided to wait for everyone to come back while we began to cook something for us.
"Master… I wonder something…" said Kireina.
"Hm? Yes?" I asked.
"D-Did you really mean it when you said you wanted to breed with me? TO have… children?" she asked rather timidly.
"Of course, I would love to… But I don't exactly know if it is going to work, you are a summon, after all, a different type of… existence," I said.
"Yeah, that why I was wondering if it can even be possible… Haha," she chuckled.
"Well, let's leave it to fate if it is or not, shall we?" I asked.
"Alright, the~! Here's your fried rice," she said, sitting in front of me as she held my hands and smiled gently at me.
"It was very fun…" she said. I skipped a beat right there.
"I also enjoyed it a lot… Let's do it tonight as well, alright?" I asked.
"Oh?! Really? T-Then… are we officially…?" asked Kireina while blushing.
"More or less, we could officially be… erm… a couple," I said, as Kireina immediately smiled happily and adorably.
"A couple? Oh my~! This is happening so fast, but I can't help but be happy…" she said.
"Well, after we already did it all, I found it the logical next step to just be a couple…" I said.
"Yeah, you're right… I will make sure to be a nice housewife for my husband, fufu~" said Kireina.
Uwah… I didn't think about the possibilities! But this is amazing! A housewife milf vampire fairy?! This is surely a dream, this can't be so good...
Kireina notices as I try to pinch my hand.
"Fufu, you're so hilarious… Master, this is real life~" she said, as she drank a bit of wine.
"You're right… Alright then, there's still a lot to do, so let's eat quickly," I said.
"Very well! Let's delve into more dungeons afterward! Although we are getting pretty little EXP now… I hope I can reach level cap again soon before everything goes down though…!" said Kireina.
"I am sure you will, you're a hard worker," I said.
"Hehe… If Master praises me more, I shall work extra hard~" said Kireina.
We continued chatting and eating, Kireina was flirting with me a lot now…
After the group finally came back, Ervas wondered why we were so lovey-dovey all out of the sudden, but we decided to say, "things happened" and we left it at that.
After eating, we delved into the dungeon with Anna and Vudia, and we farmed Gold, EXP, and Skill Points once more, using my newly acquired skills, I blasted away the monsters within seconds, and my golden morning star decimated anything it bonked.
After the arduous grinding, we went to take a rest in the living room of the cabin, while watching TV.

…
My stats had increased quite a decent amount now, but I still got a long way to go! At the very least, I am getting somewhere.
My Magic is without a doubt my strongest offensive stat, my Mana Bullet Blasts charged with 1850 Magic are devastating, it only took two to kill a Dungeon Boss now, it is crazy how much they have improved.
Alongside that, I still can't control the crystals with telekinesis… but I have been shaping them around some more, and I can more or less create grenades with ease.
They are a good way to surprise people, but they could also be good to set traps… Maybe if I can find a way to shape it as a gun, I could use the fire crystals as amazing bullets.
…and I had tried to use them as upgrading materials too.
The result? It worked.
Yup, it works, Anna said that they were fitting to upgrade my equipment, so I made up a big pile of it.
The pile of wind and fire crystals was for both the weapons and the equipment, the accessory seemed to not be compatible with it as it was purely ice element, while the weapon and clothes were all-element or simply no-element and compatible with anything…
I ended spending around 16.000 Gold, and 1600 Hero feathers on the upgrade, but it was worth it.
Anna did it all for me, and it actually cost cheaper than if I had done it myself, the discount depended on our bond and her level, as of now, it was around 20%.
The morning star and the clothes changed drastically once more… and became D-Rank items.
Their quality surely became better, like… splendorous, I suppose.
The Morning Star turned into a long cane, with a spiky tip made of red and green crystals, which released a magical aura. The handle and everything else were golden, which was the gold of Vudia's gold creation skill.
The entire Cane was incredibly compatible with me, and it resonated with a mystical and magical aura, connecting with my soul, and beginning to absorb my mana to enhance itself…
To think that this thing started as a Bat…
