Redo: Grimoire System in the Apocalypse

Chapter 196 - (196) Interruptions

The rooms were quite sizeable, being 10' wide and around 15' to the back wall. Inside their room, Geth began pulling items out of his inventory.

The first thing he pulled out was a king-size bed and large furs made from bears that were hunted in the Forest Dungeon's hunting grounds.

"We should replace these with Direwolf furs. They're much softer."

Zolis sat on the bed and rubbed against the soft material. She had already utilized the Cleansing Rune while he was preparing a place to sleep.

Geth couldn't help but chuckle.

She had already removed her equipment and wore a flimsy nightgown that had been crafted by one of the Tailors. 

He didn't understand the purpose of wearing such a thing. If you were going to wear see-through clothes, why wear anything at all?

"How about we survive first? We'll see if Filthy will skin one for us later. He's better at conserving material than I am."

He followed her example and took advantage of the Cleansing Rune before stripping down and sliding on a pair of wool leggings.

Geth pulled out a few more items, one being the Transmutation Table. It was something he'd never bothered with since they had previously lacked an abundance of Skill Cards.

The circular table was around 3' in diameter. Its size was about that of an average car tire.

He looked carefully over the different card slots on the board and studied the Formation that would ultimately create a new Skill. 

There was something that struck him as odd while staring at the tablet.

'Albus, doe-'

"Srrnnkkk!"

Geth was interrupted by a loud snore coming from behind him. He turned and found Zolis passed out at an odd angle, hanging off the edge of the bed.

"Ha, and she says she doesn't snore."

Shaking his head, he lifted her into a more comfortable position. Geth draped the covers over her and moved her hair out of her face.

It seemed that she was watching him but fell asleep before he could do anything interesting. He stared at her sleeping figure for a while before turning back to his work.

It wasn't that he wasn't fatigued, but he could never seem to find enough time to do everything he wanted.

He intended on giving everyone a couple of night's rest before trying to take out the first Sub-Boss. It wouldn't be a simple matter.

The deeper into the earth that the group traveled, the stronger the fluctuations of the Mana Geyser and the more powerful the Direwolves would become.

Geth settled back down and calmed his mind once again. He looked back at the tablet before speaking to Albus.

"Alright, how doe-" 

*Knock* *Knock*

*Sigh*

He looked up and found a small hand had reached partially into the room and knocked gently on the cave wall.

The Veil didn't stop one from entering, only seeing or hearing what was going on inside. 

'What could she want?'

He assumed that everyone would already be passed out. Geth stood up and lightly grabbed the slender hand before pulling her into the room.

Sindri let out a surprised cry as she clumsily stumbled into him. Her face turned a bright red when she found him barechested and wearing pants that didn't bother hiding his outlines.

The furs that she had swathed around herself fell to the ground in her embarrassment. It was his turn to be surprised.

Geth raised his eyebrow. The young girl was wearing something similar to what Zolis was... In fact, he even felt like it belonged to his wife.

His face didn't even flush while he took in the curves of the young woman before him. The first time he'd seen her, Geth had still been dazed from his unconscious state.

Now that he could enjoy the view, he certainly wouldn't waste the opportunity. He was married, not homosexual.

She had been lightly covered the first time, but now she was enveloped by nothing but a thin layer of silk. It had to be said that the young lady was ravishing. 

She stood stunned for a moment. Sindri was surprised that the lustful stare she was expecting wasn't there.

Instead, Geth admired her as if she were a work of art. It was the first time that she'd experienced anything so... arousing.

It felt like the temperature in the room was rising. Her face flushed even further as her mind filled with delightful images.

*Cough*

Geth could see where the situation was going and stooped down to pick up her furs, lightly placing them over her shoulder.

For Sindri, this just made things worse. The proximity caused by his actions only caused her to writhe even more.

"So, what did you need?"

Geth had already receded to his seat by the Transmutation Table. He was sitting cross-legged in front of the tablet and studying it again.

A wave of embarrassment washed over Sindri when she realized what had just happened.

"I.. uh.. I jus.."

She really wasn't sure what to say. Zolis had given her this outfit and told her it was okay to stay with them.

The two had gotten quite close since they met, and Sindri was attracted to them both. She hadn't expected that Zolis would already be asleep.

Her embarrassment was further fueled when Geth began to laugh. He already had an idea of what had happened.

He patted the ground beside him, pulling out another set of furs and placing them on the floor.

"Come on and have a seat."

Sindri walked over and took a seat beside him. He looked her up and down once more before going back to his work.

"What is this thing?"

She could see that she had interrupted whatever he was working on and couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed.

"This is called a Transmutation Table. You can feed it Skill Cards to upgrade them without having to use SP."

She sighed in relief when she found he wasn't upset with her. It was even more relieving that he hadn't sent her away.

She resigned herself to staying quiet and watched what he was doing curiously.
