Chapter 38 E-Girl's Bathwater

The next day after everyone reported their level up, we decided the best move would be to make a good place in Rivira to hide the lantern for us to teleport down to as getting down to the Eighteenth floor from the surface would take us around four hours but if we could cut that out of the equation that would save us so much time it wouldn't be funny.

But before we make a little base hidden on the eighteenth floor we need to stock up on materials and other necessities. Basically, I was planning a small expedition with the amount of stuff we wanted to literally cart down there so I just counted it as a learning experience as Freya coached me and Hestia on what we would need.

Fun fact most floors have their own sources of water except in the Dragon Vase where the Valgang reside so for the most part once you reach Rivira until you hit the fiftieth floor you don't have to worry about water only food which unless you are in the jungle floors are completely unavailable.

"Jake, can you go Miach and get the shipment of potions from him?" Hestia asked obviously trying to support one of the friends who helped her so much previously.

I shrugged. "Yeah, Hestia that should be fine. plus it would likely be cheaper than trying to get from Dian-Cheche's grubby paws."

'We just need a sample basically of his potions and we can make infinite fountains of them so might as well be generous with our last purchase.' I thought wryly as we were already making plenty of money with our dungeon dives and Loki was already sending messages strongly requesting upgrades to her member's gear but frankly, I wanted to wait till the Denatus to have Hestia and Freya tell us her reaction to Bell's and my level up breaking her precious Ais's record so soundly.

I left the church and followed Hestia's directions to Micah's potion shop and as I was about to enter, I saw someone who made me grimace in distaste recognizing the gold inlaid robes and jewelry all over his body as he exited the shop. "Haha, it won't be much longer till I am legally allowed to burn down this shit shack Miach!"

I saw a beauty with long silver hair and purple eyes standing silently beside the dickhead god yelling into the shop and with a loud crashing noise Dian Cech with both hands slammed closed the front door of the shop making my eyes twitch in irritation.

'Like I mean really if you want to be dramatic just slam the door on the way out, no need to try to break the damn door, prick.' I thought.

I just ignored the chuckling god as I bypassed him and was about to enter Miach's shop before a hand grabbed me by my shoulder. "Hey kid if you need potions, just swing by my shop I don't want you getting an inferior product and dying in the dungeon because it was watered down."

"Let the fuck go of me, before you have to use all that gaudy jewelry to make new teeth." I hissed smelling the drunk God leaning towards me and frankly, it didnt just smell like wine. I wouldn't be surprised if he just returned from the redlight district at this point with the strong musky scent on him

Airmid Teasanare the captain of the Dian Cecht Familia and also a fellow level two dragged her god off of me with a barely concealed frown.

"Hey, Airmid did you hear that pissant! Kick his ass and take his money pouch." He shouted at first, but we could all hear his later whispered orders making the silver haired woman sigh in frustration.

Airmid chopped her god on the head with her hand making him cry out in pain and hold it fearful of further reprisal. She turned back to me and gave a short bow speaking after she rose with her trademarked deadpan expression. "Excuse my god he has just returned from far too much entertainment and isn't... In the right state of mind."

I was already mentally done with this conversation as I have already heard plenty bad news about Dian Chect so I didnt want any interactions with them. Plus, I had absolutely zero interest in getting involved in that damn side mission where we find out he has Airmid use her powerful healing magic while naked in a bath and selling the bath water...

"It's fine just please excuse me for being rude. I don't like the smell of prostitutes and I certainly don't like a man smelling of one touching me."

Her head turned lightly as she questioned me as I passed the duo. "But how would you know what a prostitute smell's like?"

I was literally about to just answer with a 'That's what your mom smells like.' or something but I took a deep breath and answered smiling over my shoulder. "I got the scent from your bath water..."

Just before I closed the door, I saw her kick Dian Chech in the shin so hard I could hear a crack as her scream rang through the now closed door. "You promised you wouldn't tell anyone!" As she falsely accused her god but from the instant silence either she finally understood I was also insulting her as well, or she was dragging her god to be murdered but seeing Miach smiling wryly and Naaza standing beside him with a shit eating grin I gave up thinking about them and approached them.

"So, Hestia referred me to you guys, and we needed to purchase a good number of potions for a small expedition we are planning." I explained my visit.

After hashing out the details of the potions I wanted Naaza spoke up as Miach went to go collect a few crates of potions. "Hey Jake, was it? How about for a discount, me and you go outside Orario and you help me get a few Bloodsaurus eggs?"

"I saw the entries for Bloodsaurus... They are level four enemies who gave you the guts to go after then?" Even as I asked that I knew the monsters would have been weakened by living on the surface so in reality they would be closer to a weak level three, but I don't like the idea of stealing eggs from a group of budget T-Rex's

"I certainly don't have the guts to kill them all to get the eggs, but the thing is that the Hermes Familia was commissioned to kill them as the group is approaching Orario and are no more than an hour's ride from Orario so come on let's do it!" She said brightly

Ughhhh I really want her to get those dual potions so I can make an infinite fountain version of it and she needs those eggs to do it....

Fine whatever let's just call it doing good karma. "Alright when we are leaving then?" I questioned making her smile at her victory.

"Let's go now then" she replied.

"You need to wait for me to return these potions and tell Hestia that I am leaving Orario for a couple hours." I informed her making her pout.

"Just get the horses ready at the city gates and I will meet you there."

After giving Hestia's regards to Miach, I left with the several crates of potions and returned home.

"Oh, ok Jake be careful then and no playing with women outside the Familia!" Hestia yelled making me almost trip in surprise to her bland reaction to me leaving the city to mess around with strong monsters. But then I remembered I can just fucking fly away with my boots if something goes wrong...

"Alright Hestia I'll will behave!" I called back and chuckled as I left to join Naaza who was already waiting for me impatiently at the front gate of the city.

I saw the Chienthrope sitting astride a horse, and after she noticed me, she gestured towards another who was standing beside her and thank God I lived in the country in my previous life, so I was able to ride the horse without issue as we moved at a swift trot out of the city and towards our target.
