Harem Reborn

Chapter 297: Ch 7: I Got This



The door opened up and the small man in a black robe that now had the hood up stepped back and out of the way. Once Dave was inside, the man closed the do and locked it, throwing the black hooded robe to the side.

Underneath was a short and squat man covered in fur. He had a pointed and distended face with pointed ears and black and white fur covering his body.

He looked more like one of the famous masked trash bandits known as a raccoon, but this one looked well fed. 

"So, what do you want? Did you come to look upon my beautiful physique? Hardly, now are you going to make a purchase or not?" The Racoon man snapped, he was not the type to be jerked around by window shoppers.

"I need a sword, and some armor, but I only have ten gold, is there anything it can get for that much?" Dave asked.

"Oh? I might be able to find something, just give me a minute! My name is Greaves, I am sorry for acting hostile. There are a lot of nosey people that like to come and just look around," Greaves said as he turned around and looked at a couple of the armor crates behind him.

Tequila emerged from Dave and she held onto him, resting her head on his shoulder. She didn't seem her spunky self right at this moment, and Dave took her into his arms and held her close.

Dave was worried about her mind, and if he would be able to help her get through this. The thought of losing Tequila gripped Dave's heart, but he promised himself that he would do everything in his power to prevent that.

The love that he held for her could not be measured or even perceived. The two had spent millennia together, they were star-crossed lovers, and Dave would fight to hold onto that love.

"Hey! Wait! Why is a human in here! What is this?! How did she get in here? Was this all a trick to get me tossed in the mines?!" Greaves shouted as the pair.

"No, calm down. This is my beautiful wife, Tequila, and she will not report you or anything like that. In fact, we just go into town and are new to this whole demon-hate thing," Dave said quickly to pacify the man, but it also seemed to have the same effect on Tequila.

"Good, but I still hope that you are telling the truth and not just trying to trick me. Still, I guess you would have no reason to hide it from me at this point, but I have never seen a human and Demon pair like you two," Greaves said, relaxing once again.

"Sorry, I tend to scare the locals, so I don't come out much. I just wanted to be close to him right now," Tequila said in a soft voice that hurt Dave's heart, leaving him with a heavy feeling in his chest.

He pulled her closer to kiss her gently, and Greaves' expression softened a bit more.

"Ah, You must be from one of the northern demon tribes. What would make you come all the way down here?" Greaves asked as he turned with a crate on older looking armor, but it was in good shape. "Here, now I will just grab your sword and you should be good. The armor isn't new, but a little wear is good, give the wearer some personality!"

"I didn't really come to get something to show off to the monsters as they tried to eat me. Circumstance brought us here, and now we are just trying to fit in until we figure out what going on," Dave said as Greave came back with a worn sword.

"Eight gold coins for the lot and this should keep you alive if you know which end to stick in the monster," Greaves said with a grin.

Dave kissed the top of Tequila's and then she merged back into him, and Greaves let out a startled cry. Dave was impressed that the man stayed standing, so he handed Greaves the eight gold coins without question.

Dave knew from one of his Game Master passives that Greaves had driven the price up to two gold pieces. Dave decided to let that slide since this man didn't seem like a bad person, and it might prove to be helpful in the future to make a good friend.contemporary romance

After Dave got everything on he left the shop, thanking Greaves for everything, and Greaves closed and locked it. Dave reached into his pocket and pulled out the blue glass quest card.

Dave had to turn back around and walk past the Dragon Lords Tax Hut, then turning right at the town hall. On the other side of the town hall on the left, there were two buildings.

At first, Dave could briefly smell flowers from Fall Florist, but then he almost gagged at the smell that came from Chase Tannery next door. The flower shop was a weird thing to find in a town like this, and Dave wondered if that might be important as he passed.

On the other side was another long two story apartment. There was a long deck that stretched out in front of it, but no one sat there.

Jibbers squeaked and Dave agreed with him. This world was pretty hard for Demons.

"Don't worry, I will be helping change that, it's part of my job," Dave said to Jibbers as he walked out of town, and coming up to a church, but there was a woman with an impressive hourglass figure and large breasts in a Nun's habit standing on the step.

Dave could feel her eyes on him and her predatory gaze licking at him in an almost tangible way. Dave started to run, and he could hear the laughter coming from the woman behind him as he ran into the thick forest.

Sister Baals sat back down, she could wait. She had heard from the Fox Demoness Lord about the halfling that was much like herself.

This was only one of the many things including his perceived strength and willingness to break the mold if it does not work. This was the kind of man that Latisha Baals wanted in her life.

Her father Lord Beelzebub Baal would understand if she brought this one with her to visit. Hopefully, this time would be different, and it would end up like last time. 

Latisha had brought a previous lover to visit the far northern Demon city of Ah Kamdulk, and he was fed to a bone dragon.

Truly, there would be only one true way to find out, but it was the matter of him already having that human wife of his. He was a man, and it was his right to have another woman if he wanted! Or she could just kill her?

Sister Baals chuckled to herself as she stood back up and went back inside the church. Dave would have to be wary of this so-called nun and her curves.

Dave was getting deeper into the forest, looking at the glass card to make sure he was going in the right direction. There was no path, so he had already strayed off course numerous times.

Tequila was being quiet and Dave wasn't about to start prying in on her. Tequila would talk when she was ready, and Dave was fine to wait for that.

There was the matter of beating these wolves. Jibbers was shaking on his shoulder and that was not helping Dave. 

As he walked in deeper, the tree began to get thinker and soon it started to get dark while the sun was still in the air. I slowed down my pace and started to look around for any sign of the wolves.

'Do you think that we will ever finish this game,' Tequila asked from inside of the house in my head.

'I know we will, without a doubt. I promise you my darling that we are going to finish this game and defeat Reginold for once and for all because I want to get back to spending the rest of our lifetimes together,' Dave thought to her, not wanting to speak out loud.

Dave could hear movement, and it was coming from all around him.

'I will trust in you that you can hold up your promise. I want to believe that this is all real, I really do, but the constant repetition makes me think I could just give up and end it all. I don't want to forget you again,' Tequila cried to Dave in his mind.

The sound of her voice filled with pain crushed Dave's heart as hard as it could be squeezed, making him forget the moving world around him. That was the only way she could truly lose was by giving up, and that scared Dave more than anything in any world.

Tears burned his eyes as Dave drew his sword, white knuckles gripping the blade. He would tear this game apart and get that son of a bitch for everything that he had to.

"I will fight with my last dying breath every time until we have one, don't you worry about a thing. I got this!" Dave said as six large grey wolves stocked from the forest.
