Chapter 39: Stay Back
Chapter 39: Stay Back
"I-is that so?" Albert was surprised by how excited she was when she said those words, making him suspicious of her action.
Alisa had been behaving normally in front of him this whole time. This was the first time he suspected her of having a malicious intention.
He remembered what Fila did to him, so he thought she was the same.
Still, this was only his suspicion.
To confirm it, he asked inwardly, 'Bonkey, can you give me the count for Horny Targets around the area?'
[Horny Target: 1]
"" Albert didn't know whether this one person was Alisa or not, considering his Bonkey could detect all the horny targets inside the buildings from the street back in Lustville Town. Hence, he asked another question, 'Can you determine who is the target?'
[No. You need the Scout job to do that.]
'I guess all jobs are needed.' Albert gulped down. 'I shouldn't focus on one job and learn all the jobs.'
[Yes.]
Albert took a deep breath and looked down as though contemplating whether to stay in this town or not. He just wanted to avoid the two from suspecting him.
Meanwhile, he asked, 'Do you have a way to get me those jobs or do I need to learn like this?'
[The latter.]
'Suck to be me. Then, can you monitor the Horny Target count the whole time? I am going to move around the town, so if the count never reaches zero, that means the horny target is Alisa, who will be with me the whole time.'
[Roger that.]
'Still, Alisa is a kind of mentor that teaches me various things. Besides, I bonked her yesterday. I remember that Fila, her brother, and sister-in-law haven't done anything wrong after I bonked them Is Alisa a different breed?'
There were many questions in Albert's mind, but it was impossible to get an answer right away.
Hence, he decided to sacrifice the time he could spend for something else to observe Alisa.
'Anyway, I don't fear dying. When I bonked her, I got so many EXP to the point I leveled up four times. This incident may be a blessing in disguise, but who knows For now, I am going to take advantage of this situation and get as much EXP as possible. I need to get stronger to protect myself after all.'
With this thought in mind, Albert smiled and said, "Alright. I will follow your instructions and stay in this town today. But where are we going to stay? I don't have money to use."
"Don't worry. I have money with me. I can ask the guild to reimburse me later." She smirked.
"Is that so?" Albert nodded. "To be honest, now that I have experienced what feels like becoming a magician, I feel like I want to take a breather outside to rest. If you don't mind, I would like to walk around the town first before taking a rest in the inn."
"There's no problem. I will accompany you." Alisa smiled.
'Since you're like this, don't mind me from using you as my EXP source.' Albert thought before adding, "Thank you. Appreciate it."
"Let's go then?"
"Wait a minute. Let me tidy up the books first." Albert hurriedly closed the door.
He went to tidy up the book he had used, but he also said to Bonkey, "What should I do, Bonkey? She is a knight here, so I don't know if I should bonk her."
[Then do you plan to satisfy her need if what you fear comes true?]
"No."
[In that case, don't be afraid. In the worst case, we can leave this place after you bonk her. Then, we can make our way to Lustville to get the money and leave that place to travel around the world.]
"Fair enough." Albert nodded in agreement. If he left the town before Alisa recovered from the bonk, no one would stop him. After that, he could just cross the grassland and return to Lustville.
As soon as he acquired his reward for the wolves' subjugation, he would leave since Alisa seemed to be respected in Lustville. She was also a pretty high-level administration that oversaw the entire town.
Hence, he steeled his resolve and came out after tidying the book.
"I am good now. Sorry for the wait." Albert smiled and turned to Kona. "Thank you for teaching me all this stuff."
"No problem. I'm happy that someone is interested in magic."
"Let's go then." Alisa placed her hand on Albert's arm as she gently pulled him.
Albert didn't fight back as he followed her outside.
They walked around the city for an hour while Albert kept looking around as if he was busy admiring the town.
Alisa was watching him not far away until he was satisfied.
Little did she know, Albert was watching her movement and the Horny Target this whole time.
As he expected, the Horny Target kept fluctuating, but it never went zero, despite the fact he had moved to various places.
In that instant, Albert confirmed that Alisa was indeed horny and needed to be bonked. Since there was little chance for her to kill him, he planned to take advantage of this situation to gain the Bonk Bites he lost earlier from getting two skills.
After he had enough evidence, Albert and Alisa finally went to the inn as Albert requested a separate room.
Alisa surprisingly didn't say anything and just let him enter his room.
However, Albert knew this pattern and gulped down as he entered the room. He didn't even care about the room's interior as he simply sat on his bed, waiting for the time.
Half an hour later, he finally got his answer.
Knock.
Knock.
'It's time.' Albert's expression became serious as he knew the one that knocked on his door was none other than Alisa. He gulped down and reached the door as he changed his expression back to his innocent face to lower Alisa's guard.
He opened the door and took a peek outside, finding Alisa in her pink pajamas.
"Albert, I have something to say. Do you mind if I come in?" She asked with a smile.
Even though he had prepared for this, Albert still couldn't control his heart and say, "No."
"Please. This is important."
"You can do it here."
"No, no. I need to talk inside. This is a topic that can only be talked about inside your room." Alisa smiled, trying to persuade him.
Albert hurriedly closed the door, albeit Alisa managed to sneak her shoe between the gap to stop him from closing the door.
Albert gritted his teeth and said, "Stay back or you will be bonked."
