Chapter 2: Good Girls Gone Bad

My dad and Serfu caught us up in the situation. My father first apologized and thanked me for taking out a fort. He will make sure my contributions are awarded. He is also sorry he could not assist me. To be fair, he had his fair share of problems. The first is the amount of people relying on him to get things done. 

Not only do most of the town folk want him to work overtime. The other families of influence are relying on him to put in work. After countless hours searching for the cause of our problems, he found the source. The source is not in this land. It is in the land where Fu Xien is held captive. But my father, undeterred, is determined to solve this.

My father got interrupted multiple times by Serfu since he wanted to get off-topic. Dad dealt with it only because he was the key to solving our problems. He has teleportation magic. Similar to the gang of bandits that use teleportation to transport monsters. At the same time, they have to have set points to teleport to. Serfu has a specail skill where he can teleport anywhere. I think he called it Flying-god Style.

Now the problem is that when we get there, I have to meet his wife immediately. That is the payment for us being teleported. I have to see some women. I am tired of seeing women if I am being honest. The last time I had to have a meeting with some lady, it ended up being a bad time for me. I'm frustrated with this constant need to meet people.

I was told to get ready within the hour. This is perfect because I need to somehow make it up with Luna. Or this rescue trip will be...hard to bear. When I turned my head towards her, Luna immediately looked away. Great, this is awkward. If she never talks to me, how am I supposed to help make it up to her?

I know I should talk about jewelry. Girls love jewelry, if I remember right. Should I talk about rings? Rings are a dangerous territory to delve into. Eventually, ring talks turn into marriage talks. I can't talk about marriage right now. I mean, I can, but what guy wants to talk about being tied to a woman? What about necklaces? Yeah, necklaces are good! 

"What gemstone looks best on a girl's necklace?" I asked Rita. In the corner of my eyes, I saw Luna's ears perk up a little bit. As for Rita, she got excited and started to talk about gemstones. 

"Well, Sapphire is my favorite gemstone."
