4 Is it wrong to curse someone?

I woke up the next day to the warm beam of sunlight coming through the window illuminating the room.

I was about to stand up but, strangely enough, my body was heavier than usual.

Slowly removing the white blankets, I was greeted by the sight of Artoria wearing an almost transparent sun dress and long white stockings nuzzling atop my chest.

Welcomed by such a sight I couldn't help but develop a wry smile giving the still asleep Artoria a gentle caress on the head which she enjoyed like a cat.

Damn- she looks good on that.

"She should have just worn pajamas."

Kai scratched the back of his head knowing full well who was the culprit to why Artoria would wear such an alluring attire in sleep.

Back during their sharing of memories and experience Kai didn't account that his fetishes will be included.

Worse, it was even prioritized.

This in turn made the simple-minded Artoria thought that Kai's fetishes are the norm.

But unbeknownst to Kai, Artoria already knew that such dressed code isn't the norm yet instead go for it knowing that Kai liked the sight.

Though she's a bit frustrated that Kai has yet to take the bait.

It even got to the point that Artoria suspected Kai of being into men but after spotting him one time ogling voluptuous women she presumed that her figure isn't to his liking which frustrated her.

Thankfully, there's a silver lining.

Now that the holy sword has lost its influence she can now grow physically.

However, unbeknownst to Artoria that wasn't the reason.

It's not that he didn't find her figure attractive in fact Kai is an advocator of flat is justice.

The reason why Kai has yet to make the move despite Artoria's bold actions is something else entirely, it's something he couldn't explain himself.

It was as if something deep within his subconscious is telling him 'it's not the time' and Kai trusting his subconscious and instinct begrudgingly followed its advice.

…

Heading downstairs I immediately spotted Lunoire, Chloe and Anya cleaning the pub.

"Ah! Kai the glutton beauty is awake, nya."

Anya spotting Kai screamed in terror.

"Why don't you shut up."

*Smack*

"Ouch, nya!?"

Lunoire smacked Anya on the head, shutting her up.

"Good morning!"

I greeted them.

Lunoire and Chloe smiled, nodding in response to his greeting while Anya was still pouting.

Kai couldn't really blame her, she must have been very exhausted.

Yesterday, Kai and Artoria got overboard and ate too much.

The workload of the hostess of fertility staff was put through tripled.

Moreover, it seems that Syr aka goddess Freya is on vacation.

Kai suspected that she must have gone on a journey trying to find her destined Odr.

It's not like he knew what it meant.

Just like any other anime only fan, he got spoiled by manga and novel readers.

Kai feeling bad for them due to yesterday's event used [Sacred Presence] rejuvenating everyone back to their peak state.

The three as level 4 adventurers immediately felt their bodies becoming lighter and yesterday's fatigue was completely gone.

Their eyes widen shifting their gazes to Kai who gave them a secretive wink.

But the foolish Anya who did not get his signal screamed.

"You could have done that yesterday, nya."

*Smack*

"Ouch, nya!?"

"Shut up idiot cat."

This time it was Chloe who smacked her.

"What was that for? Nya."

Kai moved forward and ignored the two cats antics.

Chloe dragged Anya to the kitchen.

"Thanks Kai."

Uttered Lunoire.

"No, it's entirely our fault that you guys were exhausted yesterday."

"You don't need to feel bad. It was our duty to serve the customers. Moreover, yesterday's profit is sky-high thanks to you guys."

Now that Lunoire had mentioned it, Kai couldn't help but recall Mia's wide creepy grin yesterday when she was collecting their payment.

Money isn't really a problem for Kai and Artoria, as Valis didn't have any security measures against counterfeits.

Gods pride over their discerning eyes, which allow them to tell whether a mortal is lying or not, is all-time high.

Unfortunately, such an ability doesn't work for either of them.

Kai and Artoria already tested it on a goddess back in the city of Melestora they passed by before heading to the dungeon city of Orario.

Kai and Artoria can easily make Valis out of thin air using [Object Creation] and it's not like the Valis they've created is not genuine in fact its quality is even higher than the original.

But Kai and Artoria wouldn't dare create Valis indefinitely, or it might crash the market and might result in its value diminishing.

Moreover, it's not like they don't have real money, in fact, Kai carries billions of Valis in his person.

In the past 3 months of wandering around the continent Kai and his other two companions make a lot of money that they didn't have any idea of to spend all of it.

Moreover, most of their money came from the six noble households they had raided.

These six noble households were involved in the illegal slave capture and trading.

Artoria who got wind of this atrocity urges Kai to get themselves involved.

Artoria used herself as a bait attacking the noble households up front while Kai, a group of elves, beast people and humans whose friends and family were captured and enslaved go and free the slaves.

In that single night 12 warehouses housing thousands of slaves were freed, and six noble houses were raided.

More than a thousand people died in the hands of the knight king who didn't show mercy even if the soldiers she killed are uninvolved.

Artoria's resolve is really something else making Kai admire Artoria more.

Though Kai had already killed people they were absolute scums of society.

He has yet to take the life of an innocent man who was just following orders.

On the other hand knight King who's been in the battlefield most of her life is different.

She didn't show pity or hesitation against her enemies but the respect, though this respect is only available to those that are truly uninvolved deserve her respect.

In the end Kai and Artoria were rewarded by the elves with a branch of their spirit tree, the greatest honor and reward an outsider could get from the elves.

The elven settlement Kai and Artoria had help isn't the common racist bunch as this settlement seems more open and friendly to foreigners.

That might also be the reason why they were targeted by slavers because most elven settlements wouldn't hesitate to kill intruders but this elven settlement's welcoming nature attracted the greed of humans.

It's not really Kai and Artoria's business as they left the settlement after the celebration.

They returned to the city that was plunged into chaos the night before observing the movements of six noble families they just raided.

Kai was curious because he had used Curse Of Misfortune to all six noble families.

Kai and Artoria couldn't help but felt pity seeing how horrible the luck of the six noble families had become.

After their houses were raided the king of the nation got the wind of their illegal slave capture and trading, and they were summoned to the court to be judged but just as this was happening the king of elves Riveria Ljos Alf's father; Larfal Ljos Alf sent an elite group of elves to attack the capital of the kingdom and kidnapped the noble culprits.

The royalty and nobles couldn't really do a thing about it because their country is relatively small compared to the superpower nation of Elves.

Even if the elven nation we're to eradicate them no one will bat an eye because in this world it isn't just by individually that the law of the jungle applies it also applies in groups.

Who knows what their fates are after that.
