332 Chapter 332: Luck of the draw (2)

As everyone in the room watched on with nervousness the image of the spinning chest and rapidly altering question mark started to slow down before suddenly glowing brightly, completely obscuring the image.

A magic crest then appeared on the floor of the private space releasing a similar glow as it summoned the item from the gacha, which was still a mystery at this point. Everyone’s eyes were redirected to the magic crest that began to dim, revealing the item that was summoned.

Frost arose from his comfortable position, his eyes revealing a strong curiosity as the last of the obscuring light vanished. The crest wasn’t that large, so a monster was unlikely as was armour or weapons, but small didn’t mean it was a dud. A magic spell book would be the appropriate size and could be worth more than 1000DP, same with a rare elemental jewel. Frost’s mind went through dozens of hopeful possibilities but once he got a clear view of the summoned item, his expression quickly showed disappointment.

As though to mock him for his methods in gaining luck what appeared from the gacha was a set of three coloured lipsticks, red, purple, and green. Not what he was hoping for in the slightest. Frost dropped his head down low, his lips twitching as he struggled to curse. He could picture the image of his father right now laughing his guts out, his so called random system perhaps being a lie, that he chose the outcome.

Maya however had her eyes light up as she saw the three lipsticks. She moved passed Frost with desire, picking up the set and smiling joyfully. This was good stuff no great stuff in fact, high quality lipstick made from high quality materials, worth at least 2 gold coins on the open market. She didn’t wear lipstick much but now that she’d be having to kiss a certain someone on the regular it was perfect timing. Though it likely wasn’t something Frost wanted or needed it wasn’t a dud, likely worth a fair bit more than 1000DP. Of course, convincing her young master of that would be pointless.

“Guess I’ll take this gacha prize young master, you should be proud it seems my good luck kiss worked wonders, this stuff is easily worth 2 gold coins on the open market.” She quickly stored the lipstick in her spatial bracelet claiming ownership.

Maya’s words seemed to worsen Frost’s mood, not only was his first gacha something he found useless it technically wasn’t a dud making the next time he spun the gacha all the less likely to be something worthwhile.

‘Haaaaaaaaaa oh well I can just write it off as a present for my girlfriend, perhaps it’ll win me some other kind of reward if she’s happy.’ Frost decided to not linger on his disappointment and try to look at it as something beneficial as the saying goes ‘happy wife happy life.’

Now that all the DP -bar the 2500DP for emergencies and festivities- was spent it was time to relax and unwind, spend some family time together and celebrate their reunion as well as union before heading off to Furano.

.....

The group of five thus spent several hours hanging in the private space, talking about what happened over the past two weeks. Frost told Nanna and Loki all about Kranor, the kids who wanted to meet them as well as Daki who would be joining them here after the monster stampede. His stories brought joy and excitement to their eyes, especially the promise of meeting kids to play with.

So far they’d only been able to hang out with some frost dwarves when they weren’t training or learning. They needed someone their own age to hang with on occasion, something Frost was keen to provide.

When he told them about Daki, Loki was very much interested in someone else joining their little group, but Nanna was a bit more mature. Her eyes drifted over to Maya, inspected her reactions to Frost bringing another woman home. However, though Maya twitched a little her expression showed that she wasn’t too against it thus Nanna let out a sigh of relief. She didn’t want her new parents to be fighting, a very considerate young girl.

Of course, Nanna and Loki both fervently told Frost all that happened to them over the past two weeks. How their studies were going, their martial arts training and even magic practise. Maya had taught them a little bit of lifestyle magic so as to help train up their mana veins. Loki in particular proved to be quite magically adept whereas Nanna was more physically adept, her hammer mastery increasing quite rapidly. They would make quite a devasting duo once they grew up, B-rank would be but their minimum.

“Tonight, we’ll have a grand feast in celebration, Kiba and I took down a C-rank ice griffin, so we’ve got a lot of meat to eat.” Frost rubbed Nanna and Loki’s heads with affection, as he promised them a fine meal. Bringing yelps of excited joys from them and Kiba, who at this point was practically starving. Their rigorous workout fashioned up quite an appetite.

“Tomorrow however I’ll be heading to Furano for a quick visit and you’re free to join if you want, we can make a nice day of it. I’m sure Cassandra and Douglas would be happy to see you guys.”

Nanna and Loki looked at one another before staring back at Frost, nodding their heads in agreement, eager to go on a trip with him.

“Perfect, then I’ll expect the two of you to be in bed shortly after dinner as we’ll be leaving first thing.”

“Yeah!” The kids jumped for joy before running to their rooms to choose their clothes for such a visit. Their innocent expressions making them appear adorable.

“God they’re cute.” Frost couldn’t help but smile as he watched the two of them bound across the living room and into their bedroom.

“Yeah they are, and very hard working.” Maya had a similar expression as she eyed them disappear. She’d been seeing first-hand how stubborn and determined these two little kids were when it came to their training. Doing their very best to make Frost and her proud.

“Well then we’ll need to make sure we reward such behaviour, how confident are you with cooking C-rank meat?”

“I’ve got no problem cooking even B-rank meat, I just can’t preserve the mana like a spirit chef or ensure perfect flavour. My cooking can be considered not bad but I’m no chef.” Maya answered with a shrug she knew her skills well, a hobby cook that usually only catered to herself.

“Perfect, do you mind if I help, Sam was an avid cook and did his best to impart onto me the respect for the art of cooking, I’ve grown to quite enjoy the process.” C-rank meat was a bit much for Frost’s paltry skills, but he could act as an assistant at least.

Maya’s eyes opened up wide and a satisfied smile grew on her lips. “I’d love that young master, hehehehe cooking together.” She quite liked the idea of her man being a good cook, and more than eager to work side by side in the kitchen. She then grabbed hold of Frost’s arm and dragged him towards the kitchen as recipes flittered through her mind.

“I’ll have Findlay join us for the feast as a reward for his stand up service in defending the dungeon, we can have the [wine of the abyss] once he’s gone and Nanna and Loki have gone to bed.”

“What about Kiba?” Maya jerked her head towards the big cat who was still lounging behind them, exhausted from his work out.

“Hmmmmm” Frost craned his neck around to look at his new monster mount. “Kiba do you want to sleep with Nanna and Loki tonight or somewhere in the dungeon?” He was going to create a room specially for Kiba in the private space but lost track of time and DP.

“Rawr?” Kiba chuffed quietly in reply, his intentions being projected through the soul bond.

“Well, I guess you could sleep in my room, but I might not be using it tonight, so you’d be sleeping alone.” Frost reply earned him an elbow to his side from Maya who sported a blush. His statement was rather vague in its meaning.

“Rawrrr” Kiba chuffed and nodded his head as though understanding his master’s hidden meaning, winking as he did. Which earned Frost another sharp elbow bash.

“Ugh!” Frost groaned in pain before pinching Maya’s butt in protest, eliciting a yelp from her before they both turned and stared daggers at one another. He really didn’t mean anything suggestive by his statement and felt that Maya’s attack was unprovoked. Thus, he retaliated bravely, no longer treating Maya as his guardian or a fearful S-rank monster but simply his girlfriend.

Kiba giggled as he watched, taking the tension out of the situation. His master and his significant other laughed before returning to cooking, Maya even showed a very happy smile, humming as she prepared the food. Greatly appreciating Frost no longer fearing her but seeing her as his girlfriend. Though she did feel that he seemed to focus particularly on her butt.
