Visiting Odense.

"Are you up?" Bugak's voice cut through her foggy consciousness, and she blinked. In his arms, she felt both comforted and disoriented. His restless eyes darted around, gloomy, and frowned. There were way more people than what he would consider as comfortable. 

"Yes, I am. You can put me down," She told him nervously and waited for him to put her on the ground.

They stood a short distance from the port in the middle of this small settlement. To her great relief, she realized they were in one of the safe zones.

"You didn't mention that we are going to a human hamlet," With a brooding gaze, he watched over the vast expanse of the village green, a thick layer of darkness enveloping the area, the only source of light being the flickering flames of a few scattered torches.

 A lot of newbies roamed the safe streets of this small village, as more monsters were trying to shred them to pieces outside of the gates.

"We can leave soon. I just need to buy a few things," Anna said with eyes glued to these low wooden homes with nice flowers in every window and soft light coming out of some of them.

"And we can fuck as much as I want after we are somewhere safe?" He eagerly waited for the chance to be alone with her. The feeling of her dripping wet pussy slowly adapting to the size of his dick burned within him, fueling his enthusiasm. By now, he was sure it will be so fucking good it will milk any drop he had. 

The desire to continue their tease consumed him, making it impossible to focus on anything else. His hunger was purely physical, he was sure of it, yet there seemed to be something more behind his lust. Curiosity? Maybe. 

"Yes. As much as you like," Her nervous mumbling caused his lips to curl into a smile "Do you want to wait here for me, or join me on my errands?" She lifted her gaze to him after she checked the content of her pockets intact after the teleportation. 

He wasn't naive. Once he loses sight of her, he will never be able to find her again. And he did not want to give her up yet. It felt weird to want a human so much, but despite her weak frame, her fearless eyes compensated for the lack of her fighting abilities.

"I'll follow you, lead the way," He nodded as she looked around and set off along the bustling square, being closely followed by this mountain of a man.

Despite his large build, this Orc moved with surprising grace, never once losing the sight of her. It was clear that he possessed a strength that extended beyond his physical appearance, leaving her slightly intimidated by his power. 

She was able to feel his nearness even when she wasn't looking at him and it made her nervous. Was it even the same man as the one who did all those enjoyable things to her? Anna was pretty sure she was at ease by the campfire, he surely hadn't emitted this threatening aura earlier.

Amidst a sea of wooden houses, she eventually stumbled upon a merchant's shop still open for trade.

After knocking and waiting for a little bit, some young girl let her in. Anna looked around the shelves, trying to think about the things they might need for this short time. There is no point in buying equipment, as she planned on joining the other server as soon as his interest in her vanishes. But until then, she wanted to make sure to squeeze this opportunity and hold onto it for her dear life.

"Would you buy some of my herbs? I have only 5 golden coins," Anna asked her after noticing the average price of an item.

"You can buy some nice things even with that amount, I have a box with slightly used goods over there. But sure, I'll check what you got, miss," She said, obviously eager to get back to bed.

"We are running out of healing potions, can you make some ointments instead? I'm sure I can sell these quite easily," she explained and offered her a fair price. It was less than what Anna hoped for, but it was still more than enough.

After using almost the entire inventory to create healing ointments, she could afford to buy more than just the basic items.

Small mortar, backpack, warm blanket, and flint. Also, a map and a compass so they don't have to wander blindly.

"Wait, would you like to buy this one too?" The girl rummaged through a box in the back and came back with a small sickle, having an unusually sharp blade within the inner circle, "There are not many herbalists around and it's only catching dust in here. You can have it for twenty."

But Anna had no idea what to do with it, so she politely refused, while rearranging the stuffed backpack.

"Five it is then. I really need to get rid of this. It's bad luck when a product sits on shelves for far too long. You will be able to harvest plants with thick stems without damaging the -"

Anna finally realized what that round thing was designed for and jumped for the offer.

With her essentials packed, Anna went outside the shop to look for her Orc companion, nervous about whether he stayed or got bored and left.
