Seth has decided to rearrange themselves in bed as Rin was so cute and cuddly she didn't want to wake up yet.
Seth laid there smirking at his adorable fiancee and thought to himself, 'She must have been exhausted after all of those spars we had. Plus that surprise gift really made her happy.'
-- Yesterday after their 5th rounds of spars --
Seth was panting lightly with a small amount of sweat on his face but with a huge smile as well.
He and Rin had sparred for at least 2 hours. And Seth was enjoying every minute of his new potential life with Rin. He was definitely feeling the difference in his stats after his recent growth from Rin helping him unlock his new levels and stat growths.
Rin was on the ground panting harshly. She had pushed herself to keep up with Seth. Even going to her knife combat skills to go melee with him once she ran out of arrows.
Seth chuckled and came over to pick her up.
He then asked, "You okay beautiful?"
Rin smiled at him and let a tear of joy escape her eye at that remark. After wiping it away she nods with a, "Yes!" And goes to stand with Seth's help.
They clean up the training room as it was littered with arrows stuck to the floors and walls from how much strength she put into the training bow and Seth contributed to the damage by not being careful with his new found strength. He accidentally caused cracks all over the place from launching off of the surfaces too quickly. And punching too hard when he missed Rin and needed to exert more strength to recover from the miss.
They both went to their newly designated shared bedroom to drop off their gear.
Seth admired Rins body as she removed her armor and weapons piece by piece. She glances at him during the time she takes to remove her gear and gives him teasing smiles and winks.
Seth blushes as he removes his gear and armor. Unknowingly giving Rin a show which has her blushing like crazy and licking her lips. He was still thin but he had a great athletes build woth plenty of lean muscles. What he lacked in mass he made up for in definition giving him this presence of being an unbending stone in the face of a tidal wave.
He went down to his underpants and then grabbed some casual clothes for around the house. He promised to take her to the guild tomorrow to register as party members and to turn in his proof of dungeon conquering and to have her be also recognized by the guild as an official member so they can hunt together.
He dresses up in slacks and a tunic while rin does a basic summer dress that reaches her knees.
She was petite but every part of her frame had toned muscle from her life style and her training.
Now in only a thin sleeveless sundress Seth got a better chance to admire her and she was smoothing out her pixie cut in the mirror. She did stand just around 3 foot 8 inches or so. But she had a well balanced frame that showed she was in her average build for her race. Her hands had long slender fingers that were quite dexterous given how quickly she was able to use her weapons and remove her gear. Her dark hair had a beautiful shine to it as she smoothed it out. And her bright ruby red eyes shined in the light of the sunset.
She notices him staring at her and turns to him with a gaze of care and affection. He would even say outright admiration and love given the healthy blush on her cheeks as she smiled whole heartedly at him.
Seth feels a cupid arrow pierce his heart at that as he can't breathe from her cuteness or her beauty. Her legs were thin but lean as well and that led him down to paying attention to her feet. Her foots main body was still the same as humans but her toes seemed to be a minimum of an inch and a half long each. He knew that this was so they could grip and run barefoot more easily especially when it came to using perches or ledges like branches or walls for fighting.
He begins to blush as his feelings for her grew a bit more but he knew he needed to take care of her and treat her for doing so much for him already. Not only did she unlock two ranks of his curse for him she allowed him to reach the strength of a mid ranked B ranker! With his gear he was probably in the high tiers of B rankers! That was usually reserved for those who had a class evolution or two under their achievements! But he would check and add it all up later. Right now he had a cute fiancee to treat and pamper.
He goes over to Rin and brushes her hair to the side making her lean into his touch with an adorable tilt of her head. Making him blush at her cuteness. He caresses her face for a few moments before kneeling down and picking her up. She squeals happily as he now carries her in a bridal carry and her legs are resting against one arm while her back is resting against the other. She is smiling at this and cuddles into his chest enjoying his warmth and the firmness of his lean muscles.
He carries her to the kitchen first to place her at the table while he goes to the stove and brings out some veggies and meat.
He begins to brew a basic stew and as he cooks Rin begins to ask him questions about his life here since leaving the town he grew up in.
He continues to make the pot of stew as he explains to Rin everything he went through. Though by the end of it Rin was deathly quiet. He had the stew on simmer and was just about done with it before he suddenly felt the young Goblin woman latch on him from behind and hug his waist. Her head rubbed into his lower back and he heard her sniffing a bit.
He turns after opening her arms a bit then kneels to hug her back. She still cries quietly while telling him, "You didn't deserve to be alone all those years. I wish I had finished my training sooner and tracked you down more quickly. All I thought about was how my sisters and I would find you and shower you with so much love and care to help you with your curse and to prove to you how much you meant to us all those years ago in childhood."
Seth tears up a bit and kisses her forehead. She blushes a bit at that sweet action and looks at him in the eyes with her tears slowing down. Seth breathes in and smiles gently at her, "Well we can count the silver lining Rin. If I didn't go through all of that and focused on myself. I wouldn't have this great house. All these powerful equipment to protect myself and our future family. And those few good times during my story. Which I will make sure to introduce you to the Kudo Blacksmith family. Their kids are cute and I think we could get some parenting experience by baby sitting them for the family. What do you say?"
Rin smiles brightly as Seth had gotten her mind off the sadder parts of his life and shown that he did have some good moments. She nods and smiles at him while saying, "Yes! I would love that! I'm pretty sure the other girls will enjoy that experience too!"
Seth nods then checks the stew before bringing it and his fiancee back to the table to serve her his patented hearty adventurer stew. The groups he hunted with here and there all said the similar hurtful remarks in regards to his build and aura. But they all agreed that his cooking was top notch.
Rin was in agreement as she was squealing and humming how delicious it was with every bite. Seth smirks as he teases her, "You know based on the sounds your making. It sounds like you would prefer to marry that stew instead of me in the future. Should I be jealous?"
Rin startles out of her food induced euphoria and quickly shakes her head before swallowing her current mouthful.
She gulps a bit of water before answering quickly, "No! I love you Seth! I would never replace you with stew! Plus you make this stew! I would be cheating myself out of more if I married it instead of you!"
Seth begins to chuckle at her honest answer then begins to full on belly laugh making Rins ears turn red as she realizes it was a joke. She pouts as Seth chuckles a bit longer after his laughter dies out a bit. He then looks to his pouting fiancee and knows what to do to cheer her up. He comes over to her and turns her head to him.
She looks at him with the pout still present but then melts as he kisses her gently while also caressing her head and hair a bit. She perks up then enjoys the kiss fully and grabs his arms for leverage as she presses fully against his lips. She hums and moans slightly as he nips her lower lip and then kisses each of her cheeks and then her forehead again. Her toes curl a bit at that and her hands grip her dress to avoid grabbing onto him and distracting them both from the tender moment that they are enjoying together.
After returning to his seat and finishing their meal together.
Seth goes to clean up their plates and asks, "While I clean up down here want to go take a nice long soak in the bath? I can handle the chores here."
Rin snaps out of her kiss filled memory trip then nods rapidly before going to the bath Seth showed her earlier.
He chuckles as she says back to him, "I'll be done in about 30 minutes handsome! Come join me if you are up for it!"
Seth yells to her, "I'll join you another time! I have something to prepare for the bed for us any way okay?!"
She yells back, "Ooo! Looking forward to it!"
Seth chuckles as he hears the bathroom door shut and he cleans up the dishes and the leftovers before checking his stats.

Seth fist pumps at his growth he had finally broken the shackles the bound him to the rank of C. And even then he was considered low to mid ranked among the C ranks. With this upgrade he was now considered a B ranked strength. To attempt to be considered A rank he would need to break through the 2,000 average for adventurers of that skill. Most A ranks were past two thousand in every stat needed for their class. This usually averaged at least 3 to 4 stats being past 2,000. So you would need to either max out for second rank class to level 100. Or class change and reach at least level 30 to 50 in this third tier to be A rank. And that was when you include powerful ultra rare and ancient ranked gear. If you didn't and went for pure stats with uncommon and common gear like what he had in the beginning. Then you were looking at tier 4 and 5 in class evolution before you could even begin to think about stats past 2,000.
Some races could evolve their race instead of their class to give them a small boost to stats every level. But while that is great it also takes up a slot in your total evolution limit for class advancement. So it was a coin flip as evolutions are random in what you can select depending on what you have done in your life up to that point. And once the evolution is activated you can't cancel it and come back to it later with better deeds. You needed to choose at that point.
However Seth was looking forward to how he would be already an A rank once he breaks through the next few curse limitations.
And with his legendary gear he painstakingly made and hunted for over the last 6 years. He knew he would reach A rank before even breaking level 100. The only problem was to unlock enough levels for that. He was fine for now as he checked Rins stats and she was averaging around 300 to 400 per stat and being only level 80 those were some good stats for a first tier of that level. She would need better gear though. He current gear was all common to uncommon. Only her bow and knife were rare rank. That wouldn't do. And it explains why she had trouble with those Orcs. They would be mincemeat normally to her. But her bow was broken and her dagger was merely uncommon. It wouldn't last long in a fight with mid tier enemies like those.
If she wanted a wedding gift. Then she was going to get a damn good one from storage.
However first he had to surprise his new lovely and beautiful Goblin fiancee by using something he had read about and done lessons for in the capital over the last few years.
He was going to help melt all the remaining stress out of her body.
It was time... for a personal massage as her future husband.
