"Genji."
Hearing Suki's sweet voice, Genji lowered his head and looked at the resolute look on her face with a tad of blush on her.
"You… can still come to sleep at my house," said Suki as she looked into Genji's eyes.
Smiling, Genji nodded, "I'll make sure to follow you later when you return then."
"Return?" Suki looked confused for a second before remembering what time it was.
"Let's talk later."
Suki left with a smirk on her face as she looked at Genji with an alluring gaze.
Quietly watching Suki's twisting butt leave, he eventually just went to sit down to meditate.
…
Time passed by and after four hours of meditation, Suki had arrived.
Pulling up his notifications, Genji noticed that only one Skill had leveled up.
[Ding! Skill level up!]
[<Acting> (Lvl. 14)]
It's been less and less the times he actively used this skill. This skill is a passive one and it would gain experience points every time he would try to 'convince' someone of something.
Like lying or actually convincing people or something though acting.
[Ding! Skill level up!]
[<Meditation > (Lvl. 2)]
Looking at the newly leveled up skill, Genji was surprised that <Meditation> took so long to level up.
'Is the experience gain too slow or do I have to do something to effectively use it?'
Swiping away the notifications, Genji stood up and stretched.
After he was done stretching, Suki approached him.
"Ready to go?" asked Suki in her Kyoshi Warrior uniform.
Genji nodded and yawned.
"Let's get out of here," said Genji as he exited the Training Hall and waited for Suki to lock up.
Once she locked up the Training Hall, they headed to Suki's house.
"My mom isn't here until next month. She went to the neighboring villages to check on various things," mentioned Suki with a smile on her face, as if she was implying something.
"Hmmm.. really?"
Genji looked over at Suki with a knowing gaze as he approached her with a grin.
Without backing away, Suki puffed up her chest and sent Genji a seductive gaze.
"Yeah…" she sighed seductively.
With his index and thumb holding Suki's chin, Genji neared Suki's face and said, "You mean… we can do… 'this' and 'that'?"
"Mmm… yess~," lightly moaned Suki as she held on tightly to Genji's waist, her hot breath hitting Genji's neck.
Chuckling, Genji listed Suki into a princess carry and headed over to an empty room.
Tossing her on to the bed and removing his clothes, Genji was kissed fervently by Suki.
With both of them removing their clothes together, Suki and Genji were eventually naked together.
"Let's do it…" moaned Suki as she looked at Genji in the eyes. "I don't mind if we don't become a couple as long as you love me when we do… stuff…"
Genji smirked and pinned Suki down on the bed, "I don't know if I can do that… but I can promise to make love to you in the best way possible."
"As long as you make the effort, we can do this as many times as needed," said Suki with a yearning gaze as she looked into Genji's eyes.
"Very well then…" mumbled Genji as he slid down on Suki and pleasured her.
"Ahhh~! So good!!"
Pleasuring each other, Suki could have never imagined that she could feel such amazing things. Her body trembled like never before and her body let out juices like it was nothing.
She gasped and yelled as she became weak under Genji's hands and mouth.
No longer being able to take it, she took Genji inside her.
***
Next morning, Genji comfortably woke up and felt completely relaxed. His pent up frustration was finally gone and he turned to look at Suki, who was still sleeping naked.
Dressing up, Suki fluttered her eyes open and looked at Genji with lust filled eyes.
"Mmm… I don't think I can walk at all. My legs still feel numb and tingly…" mumbled Suki with a smile as she looked at Genji. "If you can, tell Hana, the Vice Leader that I won't be able to make it to practice and patrol today."
Genji turned to look at Suki and nodded before leaving the her house.
Heading to the Training Hall, Genji found the Kyoshi Warriors entering the Training Hall and performing their morning training.
Whilst watching them enter, he noticed a certain cute Kyoshi Warriors approach him.
Raising an eyebrow, Genji noticed that it was the woman that is always by Suki's side.
"Genji, where's Suki?" asked Hana, acting very friendly with him.
"Hm? She sent me to tell you that she won't be able to make it today," responded Genji, feeling a tad weird from the friendliness of Hana's tone.
Hana smiled and leaned forward, "So… you two finally did it?"
Raising his eyebrows momentarily, Genji smirked after he recovered and said, "Did you want to join? I'm sure Suki wouldn't say anything about that."
Blushing, Hana covered her face with her hands and frantically said, "Y-y-you! Don't say stuff like that! You're going to make my heart explode."
Turning away shyly, Hana blushed and continuously glanced over at Genji nervously.
Shaking his head, Genji walked passed Hana and went over to the side of the Training Hall, finding his staff completely dried.
Picking it up, Genji inspected it. Checking every inch and speck on it, he was glad that it turned out pretty well.
[Ding! Learned new skill!]
[<Appraisal> (Lvl. 1)]
[ - Used to identify information. More information will be disclosed the more the skill levels up. Active skill. Mind type.]
'Aye… this is pretty good…' thought Genji before using it on the staff in his hands.
[Staff (Common)
Type: Weapon (Staff)
- A staff made with average wood. Although the dedication and effort put into the staff was better than average, the quality of the staff is average.
System remark: Try harder next time! (b^_^)b ]
'What the hell… I guess this is what they mean when they say that you can't beat experience,' thought Genji as he looked at the description of his staff.
Although it was made with dedication and effort, he was still new to it and didn't have the experienced hands of the crafter.
True crafters add modifications and create strong and durable weapons that make people want more. A True Crafter makes a king imprison him just to make him powerful weapons.
'Shii~, does that mean I need to become such a good crafter to make others envious of my skills, seek me out, or even have me imprisoned by some God or King?'
Genji rubbed his chin as he thought about what amazing blacksmiths and other types of crafters had to go through after creating amazing weapons.
Most would end up dead and those who survived end up not creating any more weapons.
Which usually explains why there is only one Legendary weapon in one era instead of multiple. (Or these other weapons were just hidden away or destroyed. Honestly, who knows!)
Carrying the staff in his hand, Genji passed by Hana and waved goodbye to her.
"I hope to see you in bed one day," Genji winked at Hana.
Hana blushed but revealed a smile on her face, "One day!"
Hana winked and blew a kiss at Genji before twisting her body and leaving with a little kick in her walk.
'Such a tease,' thought Genji with a shake of his head.
[Ding! Learned new skill!]
[<Casanova > (Lv. 1)]
[ - Woo! Go host! Capture the hearts of these maidens! (This is just a skill decoration, Host! But who knows, you might make even a goddess fall for your slick moves.
(ﾉ´з｀)ノ )]
Genji's hopes rose and were quickly crushed just when he thought he attained a new good skill.
'Damn decoration!'
Shaking his head in disappointment, Genji looked at the skill once more before thinking about what it said.
'Capture their hearts? I'll rather capture their bodies,' thought Genji as he remembered Suki's lithe body last night.
…
Arriving at [The Bear Owl Table], Genji found the waitress walking towards him with a smile.
"You made it!"
"I wouldn't like to miss out on some work," said Genji with a nod of his head.
"That's good," nodded the waitress. "As long as you don't decide to back out of the job with no prior notice."
"Haha…" Genji laughed and looked away before saying, "I will be leaving when the traders arrive this weekend."
Raising her eyebrows, the waitress looked at Genji with a surprised look on her face.
"Really? What's the reason?" curiously asked the Waitress.
Curious why Genji was going to leave on the weekend, the waitress decided to ask.
"I can't stay here for long," mentioned Genji. "I'm a traveler, and traveling to new places is something I do."
[Ding! Skill level up!]
[<Acting > (Lvl. 14)]
"Really? That's interesting," muttered the waitress as she sent Genji an interested gaze.
[Ding! Skill level up!]
[Ding! Skill level up!]
[<Casanova> (Lvl. 3)]
'Hais~'
Shaking his head with a smirk, Genji looked forward toward the kitchen of [The Owl Bear Table].
…
After talking a little more with the waitress, Genji was eventually led into the kitchen and introduced to the cook, a muscular man.
Looking at Genji with a scrutinizing gaze, the cook handed Genji a kitchen knife.
"Cut some potatoes and onion," said the muscular man before turning around and going back to work.
Holding the kitchen knife in hand, Genji felt a little confused.
'Is this normal?'
Genji didn't dwell on it and he quickly went to work.
Since he had experience from his past life in cooking, Genji was somewhat skilled with the kitchen knife and quickly cut up all the onion and potatoes.
They were all properly diced and the muscular man only raised an eyebrow before turning around focusing on the stew he was making.
"Pour the potatoes in," said the muscular man.
Moving quickly, Genji brought over the bowl filled with diced potatoes before pouring them in.
[Ding! Learned new skill!]
[<Novice Cook> (Lvl. 1)]
After pouring all the potatoes in, Genji moved to the side and grabbed the onion.
A couple of seconds passed and the muscular man finished adding some more ingredients to the stew he was making.
Couple of minutes passed and he finally turned to look at Genji, "Go ahead kid, add the onion."
Nodding, Genji poured in the onion.
[Ding! Skill leveled up!]
[<Novice Cook> (Lvl. 2)]
"Did you remember everything I put in the stew?" asked the muscular man as he turned to look at Genji with a fierce stare.
'Dude… all you asked me to do was cut potatoes and onion…'
Looking at the fierce gaze of the man, Genji nodded.
Despite what Genji was thinking about, he had actually remembered everything the muscular man had put into the stew. Every once in a while, whilst Genji cut the potatoes and onion, he had studied the actions of the muscular man.
It was safe to say that the muscular man was a master at cooking this specific stew.
"Hm," the muscular man gave an appreciating nod. "Until you leave, you will be in charge of the Vegetable Stew. I will still require your assistance with other dishes however, so don't go taking rests while I'm still working."
(ఠ_ఠ)
Genji looked at the muscular man with a deadpan look.
'So… I remember part of the recipe and now I'm in charge of the meal? This…'
"Okay," nodded Genji.
"Good."
The muscular man left the side of the stew and had Genji work on it instead. He then left and worked on another dish that the first customer of the day had ordered.
Not minding it, Genji began to stir the stew slowly.
[Ding! Skill leveled up!]
[<Novice Cook> (Lvl. 3)]
Slowly, the time passed by and Genji felt like it was getting rather boring. The only thing that seemed to brighten his mood was when the waitress approached him to have small talk when they had no customers.
As it turns out, she's the childhood friend of the muscular man. Her name is Miu and she comes from a family of fishers that go and catch food when the Unagi is sleeping.
Whilst talking with her, he found out that the Unagi becomes docile at night and after being fed some Elephant Koi fish, the huge fish that look like Koi fish.
'Is it possible to tame?' thought Genji as he wondered what kind of stuff he could do if he had a pet like the Unagi. 'I should first earn a beast taming skill or something like that…'
After the Vegetable Stew was completely sold out, the muscular man had Genji make some more, making his cooking skill go up by five levels.
[<Novice Cook> (Lvl. 8)]
Then, finally came the time when afternoon came and he was left off the hook.
'Ugh… time to meditate for a while…'
