chapter 133 ben got home, exhausted after a long day and knowing there was still more to do. he hadn’t managed to gain the skill on the first day, and neither had thera. zandale at least had managed to get both connect and hidden mind, though they would still try to use their skills as a way to try and level up connect faster while still in town, and they had yet to acquire complex mind. of everyone, sonya had been the luckiest, gaining mana examination after only her second time getting zandale’s help. ben couldn’t help but be a little jealous of her after a long day of getting beaten up, but it looked like she’d gone all out preparing dinner since she was home before them and the chance to dig in went a long way to ease his mood, especially knowing he was going to be up for a while. “hey sonya, mind if i move everything out of the living room for the night? there's something i want to try,” he asked as the meal ended, confusing the other two at the table. “...i guess it’s not an issue if you put everything back after, but what are you doing?” hesitation and curiosity were plain in her voice, but he did have a good reason. “i was hoping it would be cool if i put a large-scale enchantment on the room.” “wait, you want to enchant an entire room? who does that?” thera asked, surprised. enchantments were something that were put on items, the idea of putting one on an entire room was ridiculous. aside from the level of patience it would take to do, there was also the whole issue of powering it, it just wasn’t reasonable to supply mana to something that size. sonya seemed mildly worried but held enough trust in ben that she accepted it. “i suppose that would be alright, but what were you hoping to accomplish doing something like that?” “one part is to get a couple levels on my new job. as for the other, well it’s a bit of a surprise, but trust me, if it works then the payoff’s going to be great.” the answer filled neither of the women with confidence but considering how much he’d done for them today they gave him their trust as he emptied the living room of all of its furniture and got to work.ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter. the idea had come to him when he’d quickly thrown together a resistance amulet for zandale so he could touch thera to transfer the skill over. it started as a question really, what would happen if the enchantment for it was placed on an entire room. “so are you ready to say what you were trying to do?” “ah, sure i guess,” he said after a bit of thought. “i won’t be able to test it until later when thera’s up, but i wanted to see if i could neutralize her charm in a given space by inverting the enchantment on a resistance amulet. won’t know if it worked until she’s up though.” her eyes widened slightly upon hearing just what he’d been attempting and she let out a small chuckle. “this and helping her get a new magic skill, you’re really going all out for her first birthday as her fiancé, aren’t you?” “wait, her what?” he asked, thinking he misheard her. “hmm? did she not tell you it was soon? for that matter do your people celebrate such things?” “she didn’t and we do, how far off is hers?” “it’s a week from today, but you don’t need to worry too much, you’ve done plenty.” “of course i need to worry, do you have anything planned for it?” he couldn’t believe he was just hearing about it now, and with such little time to prepare. he wasn’t sure how succubi celebrated such things, but he wanted to do something for her if that was the case. “we don’t have too much planned. i’ve bought a few books to gift her and i believe falk has something for her too, but you know how things are. this will be the first year she has a friend to spend it with too. i thought she might mention it herself, but it looks like that might have been too much to hope for,” sonya said, regretting not bringing it up sooner. “no, i was injured for a while so even if she wanted to she probably didn’t have the chance,” he bemoaned, cursing the timing of everything. “i’ll think of something to do for her and get your advice on it later.” another thing on his ever-growing list of stuff to do, but this just shot straight to the top.
