Milkers in the Dungeon Chapter 22 (Patreon)

Shenhe gripped that damned spear and I knew what was going through her head. So I said firmly and flatly. "No. No, Shenhe, I am not throwing hands with you. Before I even eat breakfast."

Shenhe's gaze became pained as she all but whined. "But I just got this spear... How could you not want to fight me and see what it can do?"

"Maybe I don't want to be struck with a bolt of lightning before I eat a fried egg Shenhe," I said with a flat edge to my voice that was a hard no.

Then, taking a deep breath, I pulled again with the stronger minotaur monster stones. Several smaller buffs and items passed by and entered my inventory before I hit an interesting item alongside several enchanted arrows and other consumable goodies that were useful.

Am I seriously going to give Ganyu a fucking Barrett 50 Cal with 100-round drum mags to be carried into the dungeon?

A loud clunking noise rang out as the massive rifle fell into into my arms and I said with a grunt of effort. "Here... You go Ganyu, I found your new toy!" 

Even as an adventurer with enhanced strength. A 50 Cal sniper rifle and a hundred-round, double-sided drum mag were still heavy when it was dropped directly into your arms.

Ganyu just stared at the rifle, which was fairly close to her own height, as Ganyu was a bit a bit of a short stack.

"Jake... That isn't a bow and arrow." Ganyu said helplessly.

Looking down at the rifle, I nodded in agreement before I said honestly. "And that is very true. But this thing shoots arrow tips basically. MUCH faster then any bow and arrow that isn't being used by a level four."

And then I added. "And these bullet tips can still have runes stamped on them, as they are very much meant to be disposable."

A hum left Xianyun as she inspected the large bullet I took out of the magazine. And after a moment of thought, she nodded and said thoughtfully.

"Seeing as the rune will just be painted on. It won't be as strong, just a flash of mana roughly exploding once it hits the target. But it does have progress. Besides one issue this One can foresee."

Xianyun looked back up to me and said with a frown. "This special ammo, as you said, is very much consumable. This enlightened one can also smell the oil and chemicals that fill these 'bullets' as well. How will we get more of these bullets consistently?"

I smiled and looked to Ganyu who was awkwardly trying to figure out how to hold the gun in her arms before I said. "I get an entire extra hundred of those rounds every 24 hours. And I can hold that gun and it's ammo in my pocket storage so it can be saved up over time as well."

Then I brought out the other consumable arrows and such before I said with a throat clearing. "So now not only do we have this, Shenhe has a powerful spear as well. We also still have some enchanted arrows as well. Are you three ready for some breakfast actually?"

The three ladies shared a look before all of them shook their heads as Ganyu said thoughtfully. "We already ate well before dawn before we started our meditation sessions. If you are hungry Jake, why not take Fillia out to grab some breakfast and lunch for later? As we will need to test these new weapons out before we can go back into the dungeon."

That was a very valid point, and while I would have loved to also have the chance to take everyone out for breakfast. I knew that Tiamat was likely busy with Fillia as well.

So with a shrug, I just decided to take it as my chance to have some time alone to myself for a change.

And after showing Ganyu how the giant gun worked and promising we would get a chance for her to experiment with it in the dungeon later. I made my way out of the manor with a skip to my step as I wondered where I should go out to breakfast?

'Hmm, should I try to find the Hostess of Fertility?' I mused to myself. As it wasn't like Freya was the top queen of Orario with how the Zeus and Hera Familia still existed. And both of those Familias were still weaker than the Amaterasu familia as well.

So even if Freya WAS working there and doing her thing being a thirsty slut obsessed with staring at souls. It was far less likely for her to cause issues in trying something so overt or hamfisted.

But after a good moment of thought, I pushed that dangerous idea aside, as there was no point in using myself as bait to get some overpriced food.

I kept walking across Orario's filling up street's as I headed towards the market district, as I decided that just getting some freshly made quick food from a stall was an interesting idea.

And after walking past alot of different food stalls well into making food for people hungry for a late breakfast or early lunch. I reached the end of the main market line and I paused as I went to look at the other half of the market path I was on.

"Potato puffs for sale! Come get your cream and cheese filled potato puffs!" A quite literally divine voice rang out.

I looked down the next road in the more 'cheaper' and run down section of the market street where the laborer's and non-adventurer's would typically do their groccery shopping for the day.

And there SHE was. The shrimpy goddess, the 'Shorty-Big-Boobs' Breastia, and... A possible world-ender if she got her true power sealed away in her half of Vesta. Which was a major reason Freya didn't dare to try to send Hestia back to Tenkai to get Bell.

In almost a daze I reached Hestia's empty stand and looked at the loaded potato puffs they called 'Jagamarukun' "Can... I get four potato puffs with cheese?" I asked as I decided that they could make a sorta sandwich with the cheese between them.

Hestia hurriedly nodded and said with a service-grade smile. "Four cheese potato puffs will be two hundred and fifty valis! Would you like them to be bagged to go, or in a paper tray for easy eating?"

I slid the money to her on the cart's table and I said thoughtfully. "Paper tray, please... So, how-"

I shook my head. Cutting off the thought as it didn't matter. Asking why she was working this stand right now had no point. I wasn't going to join her familia after all. 

Though I was very curious about how Hestia was doing right now. I still had my own Familia with it's own members. Maybe I should ask Tiamat how she got along with Hestia back in Tenkai, maybe?
