Chapter 527 Cap 525: Anton Motivated(Chapter Preview)
After we took the money from Anton's weapons that were sold at auction, the Fairy who had been following Nashara returned to the Dungeon through my shadow straight into the Cradle of Fairies.
We leave there and go to a restaurant to eat on Anton's expense, then head back to the place where we will live while we settle in this town.
The place was pretty tidy for an abandoned house for several weeks, all we try helping Freya, Alice, Nolan, and Caryna clean up for the day's stash.
I couldn't tell if it was night or day when I looked out the window.
"I'm back master." (Nix)
"Were you able to do what I asked?" (I)
"Yes, it will start in two days." (Nix)
"Do you think it's okay to do this without talking to him?" (Nix)
"Of course he will, he will complain, but it will all be out of hand, the truth is that he will love to participate." (I)
"What are you two up to?" (Elsaris)
"Nothing much, just some fun stuff." (I)
"I'll tell everyone now, are you in the room yet?" (I)
"Yes, everyone is losing money playing Nolan, only Kira and I noticed his cheating." (Elsaris)
"I don't think Ivan, Érica and Freya would be fooled by any tricks from Nolan." (I)
"And they weren't, they're just having fun and encouraging Anton to keep betting, I think they made a deal with Nolan before we started playing." (Elsaris)
"That looks like something Ivan and Érica would do, Freya I don't know." (I)
I go to the living room where I see Anton playing cards and losing completely, I momentarily stop the game to talk to everyone.
"Do you all want to watch the Blacksmith competition in two days' time?" (I)
"This sounds interesting, it would be nice to see the forging techniques of people from this continent, but before I think about it I have to beat at least once this Vampire who is sucking my money at hours." (Anton)
"Glad you're excited because we just entered you into the competition." (I)
"Wait! What did you say? Entered the competition!?" (Anton)
"Well done master, hahahahaha..." (Tânia)
"..." (Anton)
"It will be interesting to see if there is anyone better than Anton." (Irius)
"Damn, I hate these competitions, bone is for those who seek fame and wealth instead of perfecting their techniques." (Anton)
"Shut up you grumpy man, you're going to participate in this competition and I think it's good to show everyone that you're the best or you'll become the model for some of the clothes I've been making with Samira's help." (Tânia)
"What!? No I won't wear those ridiculous clothes..." (Anton)
Before Anton finished speaking, he was already painted upside-down bound by magic threads while Tânia stared blankly at him, but her eyes showed a trace of danger that made the stocky Dwarf pale.
"You dare call my creations ridiculous?" (Tânia)
"No honey... you got it wrong... I... I meant the situation was ridiculous... that's right your clothes are beautiful." (Anton)
"I'm glad you like it, because I just changed my mind, if you lose this competition you'll wear the clothes I design for Érica, you understand." (Tânia)
"But I..." (Anton)
"I asked if you understood?" (Tânia)
"..." (Anton)
Anton turns to me for help, but I dove into a shadow to hide, I won't risk wearing those perverted clothes either.
Seeing that I had disappeared he looks at Ivan who had thrown his head into a corner and was pretending to look for the head.
Soon after, he turned to Irius who lay back on the couch where he was, and closed his eyes to pretend to be asleep.
Sigh
"I'll be sure to win, happy now?" (Anton)
"That's what I wanted to hear, show everyone that my husband is the best Blacksmith, I trust you dearly." (Tânia)
Tânia changes back to a happy expression and hugs her husband trying to cheer him up for the competition.
"If you'll excuse me, I have to prepare some new clothes, I'm so excited..." (Tânia)
After Tânia is gone I step out of the shadows, Ivan raises his hand and his head comes flying to his hand before he puts it away and Irius gets up from the couch putting a hand on Anton's shoulder to comfort the Dwarf.
"I have to get better friends..." (Anton)
I'm sorry for Anton, imagining a hairy and muscular Dwarf wearing perverted female cosplay clothes is sad, but I can't risk getting involved in this because Érica, Samira, and Diana have been chasing me for some time now with cosplay outfits for me to try on, I've been trying hard to get away and I can't risk being dragged to an even worse fate.
I'm sure Irius thought something similar, he knew that many Arachnes and Lamias come after him, unfortunately, it's exactly these two races that took a particular liking for this type of culture that Samira incorporated in the Dungeon.
"I won't apologize for what I did, but I advise you to do your best to win." (I)
"I will show you that I can win, I will not be humiliated..." (Anton)
----------
The next day Anton left early to look for information about previous competitions to be better prepared, Ivan and Hela went with him as they had nothing better to do.
I took advantage of that day to walk around the city alone, the girls were leaving early together to urge the city in preparation for the meetings we will have, Irina went out with Vanessa to know the types of religions that have in the city and Lilian disappeared somewhere.
Everyone has their own things to do or places they want to go so we're all separate but the truth is I'm never alone, Layla is sitting on one shoulder and Orion in her puppy form on the other.
I can't stray too far from Orion while I'm out of the Dungeon lest I attract more Fairies and Spirits, especially after realizing that this city has a lot of them from the earth element.
I was sitting in the place that looked like a small restaurant, I stopped here because I smelled a smell that I miss so much, I smelled coffee.
"Here's your coffee sir, your honey pie will be ready in minutes." (Waiter)
"Thanks." (I)
After the Waiter left I pick up the cup of hot coffee and take a sip, the taste was a little different and I could feel mana in the drink but it was undeniably coffee.
"Delicious, nothing like a cup of coffee in the morning, if it's morning, it's hard to measure time here without a sky to look at." (I)
