Great Great Asset Chapter 46 (Patreon)

The making of the large formal dinner went well as I knew how clumsy Dido and Sirius were. So I only gave them task's that didn't require them to move thing's around the kitchen, nor carry anything that was fragile or food itself.

They didn't have any problem peeling potatoes and then putting them into boiling salted water. They didn't have any problem mashing said potatoes as I specifically said to do it carefully and slowly in order to truly get it mixed in with the butter and such while it was still super hot.

But for things like moving desserts around on a trolley, transporting already open bottles of wine that were being allowed to breath. And among other tasks. I took care of them.

And soon enough we brought the spread to the dining room where Feixiao and Tabane were eagerly waiting... For the wine to be delivered.

"Whoohoo a thick stew and even thicker wine haha!" Tabane cheered with my eyebrow twitching as she literally grabbed the bottle of wine from the ice bucket and just started chugging alongside Feixiao.

I looked at Belfast who was at the side with her face a picture of elegance... But her fists were visibly clenched at her waist as she stood there with otherwise perfect poise.

And with a dry voice, I said helplessly. "Fine dining is utterly wasted on these two."

With that, I went and served the rest of us 'lesser' workers with food with the aid of Matsu, who eagerly asked where I went and about the metals I bought.

But all the while, even as my Sekirei crowded my attention. I could definetly feel the gaze of Sirius and Dido as I was surrounded otherwise.

Finally, the conversation swerved around to Tabane's latest work projects, and she threw up her hands as she shouted.

"Bah! I make one suit of power armor, and now everyone wants an Ironman suit! My IS are totally better then Tony what his faces suits! They all even the weakest ones have energy shields! To say nothing of better weapons!"

And being the only man here at this party, I spoke for all my fellow men as I said sagely. "We all want to have a suit of armor to punch someone with said suit of armor on." 

Tabane threw her hands up again even higher with her breasts bouncing with the motion, before she dramatically pointed at me and said. "There! That's just it! You are wearing an advanced suit of armor that can withstand the vacuum of space, can have lava thrown onto its energy shields, and the first thing you wanna do with it... Is just punch someone with some armored gauntlets!"

Feixiao, being a murder hobo herself, especially when it came to the Abominations of Abundance, added wisely. "Sometimes the feeling of your knuckles cracking open the skull of your enemy is the catharsis you need to go about accepting the following day of battles to come." 

Such wonderful dining hall conversation continued on before Tabane, being a 'normal' human all but face-planted into the table with how heavily she had been drinking.

And Belfast patiently ordered a couple of Nier androids to come carry Tabane out before bowing and excusing herself to make sure Tabane didn't get sick or something.

[Poison Resistance Lvl 3] Looking at my skill growth after also happily partaking in my own booze, I stretched a bit and said to Matsu and the rest. "I think it's also my turn to turn in... Rangiku, don't try to outdrink Feixiao, you WILL lose I promise," I said with a roll of my eyes.

Feixiao and Rangiku, who were both like five fucking bottles in each at this point both flipped me off, and Rangiku shouted at me in a drunken stupor. "Brat! You don't even know. You don't even know how strong I am! You see these canons! I can drink ten times as much as FeiFei!"

My eye's widened as Rangiku's already wide-open Shinigami top finally gave up the ghost and fell out of her robes as she lifted up her mega milkers and bounced them at me with the mention of their 'drinking power aid?'

'Huh... Inverted nipples, make sense with their massive size.' I thought before I shook my fuzzy head and grabbed my own big titty waifu in Matsu to drag her along.

I had a feeling if I stayed any longer I was either going to get molested as I passed out from drinking more... Or one of these girls was literally going to puke on me, as Rangiku was looking a little pale after standing up so fast.

Moving back to the room assigned to me, I just stripped out of my outer clothes and pulled Matsu into bed after she did strip all the way naked to keep cool as she snuggled in with me.

"Hmm... Need Akitsu, she keeps the bed from getting hot with several people." I muttered with a yawn as Matsu kissed my neck and cuddled up with me.

And for a while there was a quiet before Matsu asked quietly. "Jake, with so many people here working together... Have you thought about staying here? Staying here to get much easier access to Primordial Energy Items so you can leave this universe?"

Some of my sobriety came back as I paused at the question before I shook my head and said quietly. "Nope... Didn't cross my mind once honestly. Not a bad idea actually at all, but there is TOO many people here. I imagine this place is a target for every monstrous thing this twisted universe can throw at it."

That, and a large number of these people were non-combatants and not explorers anyway. They probably coudn't get ahold of the PEI as much as I could while running around with Feixiao's group, who would happily let me have them all anyway."

Matsu hummed at my response before she kissed me on the lips with her Sekirei wings of light coming to life from her back before she said sloftly as she rested her head on my chest again. 

"I am glad to hear it. As I know Musubi, and the others like staying with Feixiao and the others... Plus Karasuba would get killed when she inevitably lost patience with a demon or devil who tried to trick her into some kind of deal."
