Chapter 88 Heading Out
Since I was now a noble, I did have to care about things like image.
In the carriage with me were two women.
One of them was dressed in a simple outfit of a finely designed shirt and pair of pants. The other one was dressed in full armour with a sword at the side of her hip.
These two were the companions that Baroness Rose had sent out to help me with this mission.
One of them was a knight that was directly under Cecilia and could be considered her prodigy. The other one was an up and coming aide who had been showing off her skills.
There was no doubt that these two were the best people that could be chosen for this mission.
But of course, the best part was that both of them were also beauties.
The aide was a tomboy short haired beauty while the knight was a strong long haired beauty.
Neither of them said a thing as we sat there, but I could see from their nervous expressions that they were thinking something. Also from time to time, the two of them couldn't help peeking at me, especially my lower part.
I had an idea of what they were thinking since I had also heard the rumours that were spreading about me.
Everyone was curious why both Cecilia and Baroness Rose were willing to share a man, so they all tried to figure out just what it was about me that was so special.
The one rumour that was most prevalent…was one that was spread by the maids of the manor.
Though I mainly dressed and washed myself since I insisted on it, the maids had helped me before. So they had seen what my body was like, especially the lower part.
So there were rumours that spread about the third leg that I had.
At the same time, there were rumours that spread saying that I was a womanizer. Added in the cute face that I had as a shota and my peerage as a noble now, I was considered quite the catch.
In this world, no one questioned polygamy since it was legal.
At the same time, no one even found polygamy strange.
In fact, it was as if polygamy was just considered a part of life here.
I didn't know what it was, but I had a theory…
This was something that was left over from when this world was still an H-game.
In H-games, things like polygamy were just accepted since that was what the target audience wanted. This game especially since it gave the player plenty of freedom to choose the girls that they wanted.
There was an ending where one could have a giant harem and there was an ending where one could marry a single woman.
But to give the players more freedom, the concept of polygamy had to be accepted by everyone in the world.
That was a concept that was passed on to this world that was created based on that H-game world.
It was a very complicated thing that I didn't understand very well, but that was my guess of why this world was the way that it was.
Or it could even be said that the God of Earth who created this world was being lazy and didn't properly set the settings of the world, just taking them directly from the H-game. However, you wouldn't catch me saying that since it was the God of Earth who gave me this second chance.
I would never do something like bad mouth my benefactor.
So what these two wanted…was to see if they could marry up.
But I wasn't interested in them since I didn't know anything about them. These weren't even special characters that had appeared in the game before, so I really didn't know a thing about them.
It wasn't just about how cute they were, it was also about their backstory for me.
After all, there was a chance that they could be hiding a big secret that would threaten me in the future.
I might have become a baron and gained a bit of influence, but I knew that there were still plenty of things that could still kill me in this world. There were plenty of things that were far more powerful than me.
So during the ride, I was focused on my system.
After the monster wave was taken care of, the system had also suddenly changed.
That was because the monster wave…was considered the tutorial by the system. Just like how it had been considered the prologue and tutorial in the game.
A few days after the monster wave had been taken care of, there had been a sudden change in the system.
There had been many features that had opened up and I was currently looking through one of the features.
It was the "Store" function that had suddenly unlocked along with an added "Gacha" function.
There were many different items that were sold here on a permanent basis, as well as a few items that changed on a daily basis. For the gacha, there were all kinds of amazing things that were on the wheel.
The only problem was that they were all related to sex in some way or another.
It was really hard to find a use for these items, but it was better to have them than to not have them. Just like with the aphrodisiac incense, it had been very useful in the demon order manor.
These items would have a use eventually and they were special items from the system, so I would have loved to have them.
It was just too bad that they cost a special thing to get.
In addition to this store and gacha function, there was another function that was unlocked.
The "Quest" function.
This panel had been completely empty before, but now they were filled with quests.
There was still a panel that was empty which was the "Main Quest" panel, but there were other panels that had quests in them.
There was a "Side Quest" panel that was released that had the current task that I was assigned with on it. It was a quest to find supplies for my town for the winter. As for the reward, it just showed a ??? which meant that I had no idea what my reward would be.
But what I cared about the most was the "Daily Quest" and "Gacha Quest" panels that appeared.
These were the special things that I needed to finish to get the currency and gacha tickets that I wanted.
The gacha quest panel was very simple.
There were a few rotating quests that were on there that would provide gacha tickets which I could use in the gacha store. However, not a single one of these quests were easy and I hadn't finished a single one yet…
As for the daily quests, these were much simpler and I had finished a few of them. The reward that they gave were points that I could use to buy things in the store, but…they gave just too few points.
The quests that were easy to do at least.
There were also harder quests like hunting a Goblin King or taking over the nearby town that gave a lot of points, but they weren't possible for the current me.
So I only did the ones that were easy like getting a morning kiss or helping someone.
But the points that these daily quests gave were far from being enough.
I had been doing them for several weeks now and I still hadn't saved up enough to buy a single thing from the shop.
Still, I kept doing the daily quests since these points added up and I would be able to buy something one day.
For now, I was looking over the various things that were in the store, committing them to memory. I didn't know if I would ever get to use these things, but in this world that was always filled with surprises, I wanted to be able to react to any situation.
By memorizing and knowing exactly which items could be at my disposal, I would be far more prepared for anything that happened.
So that was what I did while we were traveling.
