Frostfire Legacy

As promised, Aster and the girls escorted Lorelai back to the entrance.

Along the way, she spoke with everyone, one after another, and managed to hit it off with them. It was a miracle that she managed to get a proper response from Kali and Tina, which greatly surprised the other three.

After all, those two cats were standoffish to everyone else!

"Thank you for sending me to the entrance."

Lorelai bowed as they reached the vicinity of the gate, where it could be seen a few dozen meters away.

"I would like to properly thank you all for saving me, so how about going for dinner with me tonight? My treat!"

"Really? Then I'll go! What about you, Star?" Cassy replied without hesitation, before turning the question to Aster.

Aster wasn't sure himself, as there was a problem with the Anti-Human Movement the other day. He was worried that the Movement would hear of his plans and lay an ambush again, this time, even dragging his companions.

"N-No pressure, really. If you can't go, then it's fine. I wouldn't want to inconvenience my saviors just to fulfill my selfish request." She smiled demurely, with a hint of sadness.

Aster stared into her eyes, before letting out a deep sigh. "Alright, I'll go. We should exchange numbers, so we can contact each other for the time and location."

"Great~!" Lorelai beamed, the wings on the sides of her head flapping happily.

After they exchanged contacts, she waved goodbye to them as she exited the portal, returning to the real world.

Nobody realized it at all, but Lorelai did something to them and left a pretty large impression of herself in everyone's subconscious. Furthermore, she turned a "suggestion" regarding their view of her into something positive, which allowed her to even "befriend" Kali and Tina.

As soon as Lorelai left the dungeon, she walked away, moving to prepare her next steps.

"Aster Mistral..." She whispered in a low voice. "That man... I can use him."

The smile on her face thickened as she walked on, with nobody bothering to glance at her or block her way.

After sending her to the entrance, Aster's team continued on their plan of grinding levels. As he just landed the last hit on a Field Boss, Aster reached level 10 and earned more than half of the experience to reach the next level.

Without delay, he distributed his stats again, pouring them all into his WIS stat. WIS was required to minimize the adverse effects of using the Frostfire Legacy once more, preventing it from taking over his mind. As such, with the future in mind, increasing its level wouldn't be the wrong choice.

After adding the stats, he took a second to look over his Adventurer's card, analyzing his current status.

"I should increase my strength next..."

Now that he had a Job Class, as a Magic Swordsman, it was common sense for him to add some points to his strength. Otherwise, there will come a time when he won't be able to inflict damage on monsters due to his low strength.

"Now, I just need five more levels!"

After making sure that he added all the stats he had, he returned his card to his Spatial Fanny Pack and returned to hunting.

They spent the rest of the morning hunting until noon. Then, they took a short lunch break, before continuing on their hunting spree.

Thankfully, all of them reached level 10 by the time it was approaching five in the afternoon. They packed up and returned to the outside, before heading to the guild to drop the loot they had gained.

With their hunt, including the boss monster that they had someone else haul beforehand, they earned a total of 7 million Tels. Divided among the five of them, and subtracting the cost of carrying the boss, they each got around 1.3 million.

It was quite a large sum, but thinking of how much they spent on their equipment, it was still far from recovering their expenses.

*BEEP!*

"Hmm?"

Right then, Aster's Holo Tablet rang, causing him to pull it out of his pocket, unfold it, and check the content. The sender was, of course, the one they promised to dine with, Lorelai.

"It seems that our dinner will be held at the Yeon Hwa Restaurant around 7:30 p.m.," Aster announced to the girls.

"Yeon Hwa?" Liz raised her brow. "You mean, that establishment that has a strict dress code for their customers?"

"It has a dress code?" Aster asked back, confused.

He wasn't familiar with "famous" restaurants, after all. He had only entered one before, together with Mayor Magnus's wife, Priscilla.

"I'm not good with pompous restaurants like those." Kali quickly grumbled but didn't say she wouldn't come.

Cassy, on the other hand, tilted her head, troubled. After all, she didn't have any formal clothes to wear! "What should we do? Buy clothes to wear to the restaurant?"

Liz turned to Cassy and Kali, pondering. "I have a few extra dresses I could lend you, but the size..."

Liz was almost two meters tall. If she lent her dress to either Cassy or Kali, then it would turn from a dress to a long gown!

"Then, shall I introduce you to the shop I frequent?" Tina offered.

"There, they can make clothes that fit you perfectly in minutes, so you can even make some custom orders. Ah~! Darling, let's go there and get you a fitting suit! I'm sure you'll be even more handsome!"

"..."

Aster hesitated a little. After all, Tina's the princess of the Zirroth family, so the clothes store she frequents is definitely high-end.

'I wonder if I can afford clothes from there.' He was genuinely worried.

"Don't worry about money. The shop is something like a hobby business for my uncle, so we can ask him to make it cheap for you~!"

"Alright, let's go!"

Hearing that they could buy it for cheap, he didn't hesitate anymore. Together with the girls, and Tina's lead, they headed to the shop of her uncle. Little did he know that the "cheap" that Tina was talking about cost almost half of what he currently has.
