Reward Recap

"T-thank you, that was great…" Sword Maiden mumbled out, her cheeks flushed as red as a tomato.

"No problem, I hope you'll visit again sometime in the future!" Moon joyfully responded.

"I definitely will… Oh right, how much do I owe you?"

Moon still had no idea what he should accept as a visitation fee, so he figured that he should just continue using his customers to attract even more customers.

"You don't have to worry about payment. Just tell your friends about this place if you really want to help me out."

"Oh, is that so? I appreciate it. See you then." She answered, rushing her way out of The Wet Oasis, she seemed to be in a hurry.

[(C+ Rank) Guest (Sword Maiden) has left The Wet Oasis]

[Her satisfaction was (90%)]

[Calculating Rewards…]

Ding!

[Received 1400x Spa Credits, 1x Holy Sword Technique]

"Wow! 1400 credits just for allowing her to use the hot spring? Running a spa resort is easier than I thought." Moon said in amazement, as he looked at his rewards.

"Oh? Another technique?"

The second reward made Moon recall all of the other rewards he still hadn't properly checked out, so that's exactly what he did next.

His status window hadn't changed all that much, with the exception of his speed and strength stat both gaining an additional point and the 2 new techniques.

"Sadly, I don't think I can test any of these techniques right now…" 

It's not like he had a spare goblin or sword stashed away somewhere.

"Actually, wasn't there a sword in the SpaWatch's store? I wonder if it's still there…" Moon hoped for the best, since he wasn't sure how long had passed since his last visit.

==========================

"...Seriously?" Moon was dumbfounded at his luck, when he saw that he had just missed the previous day's products by a whopping 26 seconds.

"System, are you sure that you are not just playing a prank on me?"

[Negative. Your SpaWatch also has a clock function, it's recommended to check it from time to time.]

"It does?" Moon couldn't believe that he'd miss something like that, so he started to search around his watch once again.

After a few minutes of frantically searching, he was still not any closer to finding it, so he decided to give in and ask the system for help.

"Okay! I give up, where is it?" He asked in a defeated tone.

[You can access the clock function by clicking on the top right corner of the screen 5 times in a row.]

"....."

Click! Click! Click! Click! Click!

Ding!

========================== 

(Day 2)

(00:06:32)

========================== 

"This must be the stupidest design I've ever seen on anything, period…" Moon voiced his frustration.

Just in case, Moon tried tapping different parts of the screen and even swiping in random patterns, but when nothing of note happened, he just decided to accept his loss.

After coming to terms with his unfortunate timing, he went back to the store screen and properly looked over the new products.

In the end, he barely managed to resist the urge to waste most of his points for a whip he didn't even know how to handle and just settled on claiming his free daily item.

"Hey, at least these slippers are comfortable..." Moon said in a melancholic voice, as he loosely swung his feet around the lobby.

Now that it was a new day, Moon decided to get his daily hot spring visit sorted out.

/////

"Ah, perfect…" Moon was lounging in the warm waters under the moonlit sky, on the complete opposite side of where his last guest had been, just in case…

Laying on the grass next to him was a strange metallic object of sorts, clearly out of place in the otherwise natural environment.

You see, before getting into the spring, Moon recalled another one of his quest rewards he hadn't tested yet, making him quickly open up his inventory and withdraw it.

It looked like a regular long tube, but people from Earth would instantly recognize it as a rocket launcher.

At first Moon was careful around it, even going as far as not touching it, until he was sure it wouldn't explode on his face.

After staring at it for a while, he finally made his move and laid his fingers on it, as a mischievous grin appeared on his face.

He was now itching to witness the rocket launcher's full power, as he spotted an intriguing target in the distance, the Moon.

That's right, for reasons unknown, Moon was about to shoot the Moon.

With a swift motion, he brought the metallic tool to his shoulder, aimed, and prepared to unleash its power upon an object situated hundreds of thousands of miles away from his position.

Click!

…

However, to Moon's bewilderment, pressing the trigger yielded no result. 

Click!

He tried again, furrowing his brow in confusion.

Click! Click! Click!

No matter how fast or hard he clicked, nothing came out of the weapon.

"Come on! Didn't I learn a fingering technique? Why isn't it working…" Moon complained.

But as he inspected the metallic tool more closely, a sudden realization dawned on him.

There was no ammunition loaded into the launcher. 

…

Clank!

Moon casually threw the rocket launcher on the ground and hopped into the hot spring to relieve his frustration.

He was extremely embarrassed that he didn't notice such an obvious thing before...

His daily soaking session lasted around 3 hours this time, which was enough time for Moon to get back to his usual carefree state.

He put on his white robe, slid into his slippers and headed back to the lobby, taking a seat on the chair behind the counter.

As usual, he felt rather sleepy after such a long time in the water and decided to take a quick nap, hoping that he would wake up to a new customer that he could farm spa credits off of…

/////

Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!

As Moon's eyes fluttered open, he quickly realized that his hopes were just hopes.

Looking at the towering green trees surrounding him and the clear blue sky above him, he couldn't help but let out a reasonable question.

"...Where the hell am I?"
