When they arrived back at Goku's home, he dashed inside and came out a moment later with a collection of potion bottles. What caught Rias's attention was that none of them were the expected red, green, or blue.
One potion was a dull gray, another was neon green, and the final two were orange.
As soon as Goku brought them the potions, Rias plucked them out to read their names. The gray one was Stone Skin, neon green was a Potion of Swiftness, and the two orange ones were Potions of Strength.
She had a pretty fair guess at what each potion would do just from the names. Still, they would need to be sent in for testing meaning she wouldn't be keeping any of them for herself.
After accepting the small box with the four potions in it, she watched Goku reach into the top of his outfit and pull out the Dragon Ball. He smiled at it and then held it out toward her, "Grandpa always told me that when you make a new friend, you should give them a gift.
I don't have much, but I'm sure Grandpa would approve of me giving this to you."
Rias passed the box of potions to Koneko as her eyes locked onto the gleaming orange sphere. She gently reached out with her hand, her fingers coming to a stop mere centimeters away from touching it, "Are... are you sure?"
Goku nodded happily and pushed the Dragon Ball into her hand, "I'm sure."
with no reason to refuse, Rias accepts the Dragon Ball and cuddles it to her chest like its a fragile glass ball that will shatter at even a slightly strong grip. She looked to Goku with awe in her eyes, "Thank you, this is a wonderful gift."
Goku gave her a bright smile and a thumbs up, "I hope to see you again very soon!"
Rias nodded along in agreement, "I hope so too!"
With that as their goodbye, Goku returned to his home while Rias and Koneko walked back down the path and out of the scenario.
Ryuji smiled as he watched the end of the scenario and closed it, unaware it had been detected and almost breached by someone he didn't even know existed.
He was also completely unaware of the security breach that took place within the onsen resort scenario. How was he to know that he could only detect when people used the proper entrance?
Instead, he was ignorant and completely happy. His latest scenario had produced the most Dungeon Energy yet! The two major spikes of emotion from Rias had really pushed the total up.
Her sheer joy at meeting Goku in person was a sight to behold. Then there was a massive spike of happiness and excitement when Goku gave her the Dragon Ball.
No, it was not a real Dragon Ball, he was nowhere near powerful enough to make an item like that. Not to mention lacking the proper facilities and knowledge.
Rather it was just a simple magically reinforced bauble that looked like the four star Dragon Ball. A trinket Rias could display and enjoy, a gift from him to her.
Also, FINALLY! He finally ran a combat scenario without something going wrong! Rias didn't get a scratch, no one died, and everyone had a good time.
It was wonderful and he was looking forward to running more scenarios with such excellent results.
But first... He tapped into the large pool of Dungeon Energy and immediately spent it all on increasing the size of his mana pool. He felt a wave of heat flow from his heart out through his entire body as his total capacity more than doubled.
It was an indescribable feeling, almost like pleasure but more gentle. That was the only way he could describe it.
Once the sensation faded, he immediately used the Cloaking technique to drop his emissions back to their previous level.
He did not want to draw any more attention from the devils than he already had and this was the main way to do so.
With his Dungeon Energy spent, it was time to think about earning more. He tried to decide how he would go about doing so. So far, he'd only run what could be classified as one shots, single scenarios with no real overarching plot.
He really wanted to run a multi-part story. Something that would drag the players into it and get them invested. The more invested they were, the more emotional they would get, and the more Dungeon Energy he would gain.
However, he'd just increased the amount of mana he could spend on monsters and needed to see how well their new strength could be handled by Rias and the others.
There's be no point to it if he jumped the gun and accidentally killed someone again. Though he would forever maintain that Issei was just weak as fuck and it wasn't really his fault. Issei died to rats, after all. Who does that?!
Moving on.
He decided to take the next few days to plan out what he was going to do for the next few scenarios. He also needed to take some time to do more experimentation and research in his Alchemy lab to make more potions.
He'd made quite a few, but there were hundreds of tier one ingredients and he'd only gone though about half of them so far. Mostly, he was just finding different recipes for the same potions, or variations of those potions. Such as the Potion of Regeneration.
It healed more than a regular healing potion of the same tier, but did it over time instead of instantly.
He also wanted to take some time to work on his actual ability to cast spells. He was getting closer to finishing the beginner guide.
He'd completed the spell circle for the fireball, more accurately a firebolt, spell and was ready to give it a try.
Thinking of that, he looked around his Home Base, he hadn't made any changes to it though it was technically one of his pocket dimensions and could be modified like any other.
He'd just not seen any reason to do so, until now.
