(Samuel's POV)
After finishing eating, I was taking a sip of the hot chocolate that Janie had brewed up for me. To think that a world like this was able to make something so delicious. I found it hard to believe that there was any cocoa accessible to the city of Nourenth, but I guess that's just a bonus of the city's trading routes.
"Hm...." I said, wiping my mouth, "Good stuff."
Chocolate, sugar, and milk. Such a potent combination.
"Oh, you finished up?" Janie asked as she walked up, "Let me take those from you."
She picked up the empty bowl and plate, giving me a warm smile. She saw that the cup of chocolate was still halfway empty on my hand, so she didn't make a go for it.
"How are things here, Janie?" I asked her, "No trouble?"
"No, none at all." She said, "Why do you ask? You looking for work?"
"No, I'm just curious." I said, "I just got done with a job at a farmstead. A Lecher."
She shuddered, "I heard about those things." She said, "Don't they shapeshift?"
"They do." I said, "I didn't have the blessed silver with me, so I couldn't identify it so easily."
"What?" She asked frowning, "Didn't you carry it all the time? What happened?"
"Uhm..." I said, "Some bumps on the road, you know. I had to loan mine to Lydia because she lost hers during...well, the incident."
I looked down; flashes of burning debris along with corpses littering the ground appeared in my mind. The terrible memories of that day still haunt me to this day, and it isn't something I want to be reminded of.
"Oh." She said softly, "I'm sorry to remind you of that.....Uhm.....w-well.....how did you identify this Lecher?"
I snapped out of it, "Oh. Well, I let it lure me in." I said, "And before it struck, it revealed itself, and well, you know the rest."
"Ah, that famed quickdraw, hehe!" She laughed, "Even though you made a name for yourself in these parts, I can't get over the fact that you use Runepowder. Such a rare thing to see, even if we read about them in books."
"Well, I was a Gunslinger in my past life, so I am obviously going to be one now." I said with a slight smirk
"Such a silly boy." She said, "What is the job that you got lined up in the city?"
"Ah, that's a secret." I said, "No need for a civilian like yourself to concern yourself with that."
"Oh?" She said, "What a tease."
"So, how are things here?" I asked, "I heard something about your daughter joining the Arcane Academy."
"Oh yes." She said, "I was so worried when she enrolled. My sweet little Jill....the thing is, the road to Etherian is always so perilous during those times."
"Hm." I said, leaning back on my chair, "Etherian. I remember swinging by there when we visited Maria. Mom was so nervous and worried about her, it was rather adorable."
"Ah, how was your sister's time there?" She asked me
"Not going to lie, I don't know much of her time there. But I guess it was fine, the way she turned out." I said, "I figure Jill will be fine, there's nothing to worry about."
She smiled, "I hope so." I said, "She's making me proud, that girl. Anyways, let me get these cleaned up. I got your room ready, okay? So swing by there whenever you're ready."
She turned around and began to walk away. As she did so, I merely stared at her backside, seeing how her ass was bouncing with each step, showing through her dress.
"Hm..." I said
I caught a glimpse of the man glancing back at me while he ate. As I looked at him, he merely turned his head back quickly.
"Hm." I said, "Well....time to go back to the room."
****************
The room Janie always rents me is one that was secluded to the back of the inn, with thicker walls and a very comfy bed. The walls were thick enough to keep any loud sounds to escape, allowing for anyone to have an intimate time without bothering anyone outside or even having them discover what they were doing.
According to her, her Father built this room for "Special" treatment he had to resort to during a period of low customers, to make the necessary profits.
It was obvious what it was used for, but I didn't care.
Because it was more than convenient for me. I mean, I would bring some girl over to the inn and fuck her silly without nobody bothering me. Not only that, Janie was a friend so she would always cover for me.
She knows that being a Hunter is a tiring job so I deserve to relieve some stress once in a while.
And this room is a nice bonus for doing that.
I sat on the bed, "Oh..." I let out a sigh of relief, "Oh man, what a long day..."
I cracked my neck as I stretched my arms. I glanced to the side, seeing that my hat and gunbelt were on the table to the side of the room.
I then reached down, taking off my boots and feeling a massive wave of relief course through my body as my feet were throbbing slightly.
"Well, fuck...." I said as my entire body ached, "I need a full-body treatment from someone who knows how to do massages. Maybe I should go home and have Meadow do that...I wonder how Deena is doing too."
I closed my eyes, seeing a flash of a brown-haired girl with golden eyes smiling at me.
I couldn't help but smile, "Hm..." I said, "My beloved sister...."
The moment I said that, I was reminded of my other sisters, who were off doing their own thing.
I sighed, "Oh boy...." I said, "I wonder when I'll see them again."
As I said that, the door opened and I saw Janie walking in, closing the door behind her and locking it.
I raised an eyebrow, "Oh?" I said, "Miss Janie, what are you doing?"
She was blushing, "I think you know." she said, "You haven't paid for your meal and your room."
"I have the coin." I said with a slight smirk, "I can-"
"I don't want your coin, you silly boy." She said, walking over and slowly undoing the string on the top of her dress, revealing her large cleavage, "You know what I want, Samuel Greyclaw."
She reached me, spreading my legs and reaching for my crotch. As she leaned down, my nose brushed against her breasts.
"Oh...." I said with a smile, "This is something that I would like."
"I know." She said with a seductive tone, "Let me take care of you~"
"A special treatment in the special room~"
