This time Abby didn't use the teleportation or speed magic, rather, we start to walk towards master Edgar's compartment, with our hands clasped together.

"Vincent, about what you asked me earlier.. I-I agree.." Abby mutters with shyness.

"Have you thought about it thoroughly? You'll have to share me with other women? Are you sure you want to do this?" I warn.

"Sigh~ what else would I do huh? You've made me like this, my heart always skips a beat anytime I'm with you, and my face is always getting red. What else am I looking for, as long I'm with the man I love?

I thought about it thoroughly and I want to be your woman...!" Abby replies with a solid resolution.

"You are welcome to the family, Abby," I reply and caress the back of her hand.

"But I want to ask you a question, how many women do you have?"

"You are the fourth person, I'll introduce you to the rest later on," I answer briefly.

Sometime later, we stop in front of a familiar compartment and Abby walks toward the door and opens it, with me slowly following her from behind.

We silently enter the compartment and shut the door behind us. The most surprising thing is that no single disciple is passing through my master's domain within a range of 100-150 meters radius.

Right now, we are inside Edgar's compartment, the structure is pretty different from yesterday...this time around instead of a living room, I see an armory room. it feels like Edgar's house is some kind of spatial Rubik house.

There are various racks and shelves filled with weapons of different categories. They range from lances, sabers, spears, slings, swords, bows, and other weapons that I've never heard of or seen before.

"Choose a weapon. These are the collections of master Edgar throughout his lifetime, and I can assure you that each weapon here is no joke. I also got my weapon here, and I'm the only disciple with the highest tier weapon apart from his daughter Bridget... Who owns a legendary-tier spear and a king-tier complete set armor." Abby tells me as she urges me to pick a weapon.

"Holy— fuck! She has a king-tier full set armor and a legendary-tier sword... Even my mom's weapon is a king-tier. However, she rarely uses it since she's a mage. She could easily roast a swordsman from afar,"

"Pfft, things don't work that way, you can be a mage-swordsman just like me. But still, being a swordsman doesn't mean that you can easily be overthrown."

Just like Bridget.. she can't use magic.. so her father put her through an intense training that nobody would ever want to go through. This made Bridget dislike her father because she acquired a little scar when she was young during the training.

Things are still awkward between them but I guess she'll forgive him over time.

The thing I envy about Bridget is that she can use any type of weapon. Even if she hasn't touched it before, she'll skillfully wield it better than some who has been training with it for 20 years. But what I'm telling you right now is only known by a few people in this base. The only other person who had this affinity in the Graven kingdom was long dead, and he was forced to serve this kingdom to his demise. Master Edgar doesn't want that to happen to his daughter, which is why he always warned her not to display her full potential."

"Who's the first person to have that affinity?"

"Your father," Abby tells me in a low voice and peeks at my face for any change in expression.

Although, I really don't like the fact that my dad died serving this good for nothing kingdom against his wish. And while i would like to know more about him and how he was killed, I also have a ticking bomb which is the system, dangling above my head.

I simply let out a sigh and don't say a word. Abby also keeps quiet and simply gives me some space, thinking that I'm angry at her for bringing up the topic.

I start to inspect the shelves and racks but I suddenly hear a familiar voice inside my head.

[About that girl, Bridget. I don't think she can't use magic. If she isn't a full succubus, then she has to be a halfling. So the reason why she can't use magic is that she hasn't had any sex, which means she's basically a virgin.]

That makes sense, Myra, but she's still pretty scary despite being unable to use magic. Why am I so useless...tch!

[You were just over pampered by your mum, moreover, the bad karma took effect significantly.]

That's right...

Then I refocus my gaze on the weapons that I was inspecting. I'm not interested in some of the weapons I'm seeing here as they are not to my liking. Using my new inspection skill, I'm able to tell the name of a weapon, forger, active skill, buffs, and stats.

And right now I'm attracted to a pair of short rapiers.

★[Inspect]

[Name: Demon Rapiers]

[Grade: Intermediate-tier]

[Strength: (+2)]

[Agility: (+5)]

[Stamina: (0)]

[Forger: Faran Glem]

[Active Skill: None]

TCH– I click my tongue and begin to search for other weapons. Although I like those rapiers, the stats are not that impressive.

Taking a peek from the corner of my eyes, I notice that Abby is looking at me oddly like I have no idea of what I'm doing.

"Do you need any help, honey?"

"No, I don't,"

"...."

What the heck– did she just call me honey? Damn, that was so– erotic.

The next moment, my eyes suddenly fall on another weapon that catches my attention.

The weapon is rarely used because it only works in close-ranged combat. However, if this weapon can get a compatible wielder, it would be a badass weapon.

___

Looking at this odd-looking silver gauntlet with blue lines on it, and sharp-bladed claws. I'm pretty surprised by its functions.

The active skills are cool except for the last one, I don't really know what it does.

The agility is pretty insane for an emperor-tier item and the other stats aren't so bad.

[Vincent, don't you find something odd? Most of the weapons we checked out here are forged by Faran Glem..if you also remember correctly, the person who issued the mission you guys are about to embark on is also Faran Glem!historical

Isn't something fishy here? Who do you think he is?]

Damn..Myra, you are correct..I should have thought about that. I wonder who this person is and what his relationship with Edgar is for him to have many of his creations?

And I can't tell Abby about my discovery...sigh..

[Yeah, she would ask you how you knew about it.]

"Vincent, don't tell me you want to pick that odd-looking piece of trash? Because you've been staring at it for a while," Abby says from behind me.

Although, I don't really need this gauntlet, I have a person in mind whom I would like to give it to.

[Who do you want to give?]

A close friend of mine..

[Oh, you want to give it to that bitch?]

Yes, she's the only person who can make use of this gauntlet, since she was just like me, unable to use magic.

I wonder when I'll be able to see her.

I grab the gauntlet and turn to Abby.

"I choose this,"
