"Wow, this is a really nice place," Remarked Aria, as she walked in and looked around.
Since the hype around has far from died out yet, I figured we were better off hanging out at my place instead of going out sowhere and have a bunch of people staring at us.
She’s pretty much just as famous as I am, and super popular too, we’d definitely cause a stir if we were seen together in public.
"Thanks. Make yourself at ho," I smiled, before adding as I shut and locked the front door, "Co on, I’ll show you around. You escorted at the Guild, so let repay the favor. Though, this’ll be a much shorter tour."
"Okay, lead the way," She grinned, before following after .
"So, this is the kitchen over here. I’ve hardly ever used it though, I only ever co in here to wash my plates and throw away trash. I’ve cooked a couple of tis, but I mostly just order food," I remarked sheepishly.
Well, either that or I just make copies of the food I’ve got stored and preserved in Treasury.
"Yeah, it does look like it’s barely been used, the stove and counter are way too pristine," She nodded, before trailing behind as I headed to my room.
"This is my bedroom. It’s-...," I began.
"Hm? What’s that sweet perfumy sll?" She asked , as she sniffed curiously.
Huh? What’s she-...?
Wait, Ferna and Elicia ca over last night, is she picking up on their perfus or sothing? I don’t sll anything at all.
"Either you’re imagining it or you have a better sense of sll than I do," I replied with a shrug.
I an, she doesn’t need to know the details of my sex life.
"You don’t sll it? Oh, maybe it’s wafting in from outside. You shouldn’t keep your balcony doors open, you know, soone might sneak in," She remarked, as she walked over and shut the sliding glass doors.
"I always leave them open, so it slipped my mind. Plus, if soone does try to break in, they’ll regret it," I smiled wryly.
"What if you’re not ho when it happens?" She pointed out with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, fair enough. Co on, let show you the next room," I replied, before leading her out of the bedroom and to my rec room.
"Woah, cool. I’m guessing you use this room to kick back and relax in?" She surmised as we walked in.
"Mhm, pretty much, it’s my rec room. If I have so downti, I’ll just flop onto one of these beanbags, put sothing on to watch, and have so snacks with booze or joints."
"Joints? Oh, you an weed, right? I’ve tried it a couple of tis, pretty recently actually," She responded, as she glanced at my mini-fridge and shelf full of snacks.
"Yeah? How was your experience with it?" I asked her.
"I liked it, I felt nice and relaxed. Well, the second ti, anyway. The first ti, it was nice at first, but I guess I had too much and my head ended up getting all spinny," She recalled with a sheepish smile.
"I don’t dislike that feeling, I like to relax, close my eyes, put on so music and just let my mind go off like a roller-coaster," I grinned, as she sat on one of the beanbags, her eyes widening slightly as she sunk into it more than she expected.
"I’ve never sat on a beanbag before, wow...this is comfy. Never been on a roller-coaster either. I have been to amusent parks a few tis, when I was younger, but I was always too afraid to get on the roller-coasters. And now that I have superhuman powers, it’d be probably be pretty boring," She mused with a wistful smile.
"Yeah, doubt any thrill rides would co close to the thrill of fighting Monsters in life or death battles," I nodded in agreent.
I haven’t been to an amusent park in this era either, think my parents took a couple of tis in my past life, but I was really young, I barely rember those experiences.
Anyway, I then proceeded to lead her to the last part of the tour of my place, my training room.
"Cool, it’s pretty spacious. And looking at the floor and walls, I can tell you’re in here pretty often," She remarked as we walked in.
"Yeah, I try to get at least a couple of hours in every day, unless I’ve got a raid or sothing else to do. I don’t have a passive combat or weapon affinity Skill like Combatants do, after all, so I need to work extra hard to make sure my physical and combat prowess are sharp," I explained, as she peered into my box of wooden short-swords.
"Mhm, just by watching you fight, it’s easy to tell how hard you must train. I’d suggest a quick sparring bout, but you’ve already fought today, so I’ll refrain.
Oh, by the way, about that Appraisal Skill you told about...you said it quantifies a person’s physical abilities into stats, right? What are my stats? And how do they compare to yours?" She asked curiously.
"Uh, let’s see...alright, so, there’s six different stats, HP, MP, Strength, Agility, Vitality and Perception. Your HP is four hundred and eighty six, and mine’s four thirty five.
Your MP, which is the amount of Mana you have, is four seventy, and I’ve got six hundred. With Strength, you’ve got four ninety one, while I have four forty.
Next, Agility, yours is six hundred and two, and mine is five ninety. As for Vitality, it’s four eighty-one for you and four thirty for .
And finally, Perception, yours is five eighty-six and mine’s five eighty. I can also see Power Level and Potential. Yours are 519,300 and 945,000, respectively, and mine’s 512,500 for both."
"Wow, so we’re currently pretty much identical, physically speaking, huh? All of my stats, except for MP, are slightly higher than yours...it’s kinda like a video ga, especially the HP and MP stats.
Weird, exactly what kind of Magic do you have? The more I find out, the more it seems like the systems in those retro fantasy ani from before the Monsters and Dungeons appea-...hm? Wait...am I right?!" She exclaid excitedly, as I tensed slightly.
"I, uh..."
Damn it, I barely reacted, how the hell did she pick up on that?!
"You have to tell more, I-...! Well, no, you don’t HAVE to tell anything, but...I really, really wanna know," She grinned eagerly, her eyes practically sparkling.
"Well, I-...okay, how about we head to the rec room, relax, watch sothing or play so gas, have so snacks and weed, and talk there?" I suggested, in an effort to buy so ti to gather my thoughts.
"Sure, that sounds like fun!"
