  Evening

  Wealthy section, Vibe

  Webber was ready with Heather. He was wearing a blue suit while Heather was wearing a purple gown with a small hat. She was also wearing arm length white gloves.

  She was also wearing white shoes. Zua was wearing a white gown and making sure that everything is done. Cob was wearing a red pent with bck shirt with shoes.

  His daughter, Libia was wearing a green frock. She has bck hair and brown eyes. Her long wavy hair with a hat was making her more beautiful.

  .........

  Night

  Near wealthy section gate near the main gate of Vibe.

  For tonight, I am wearing my second fine clothes. They are like Diego De La Vega wore in the anime as Zorro.

  Of course, I am not wearing gloves, cape or mask. As I reached the gate, knights stood up immediately.

  Knight " How may I help you, sir?"

  Daisuke " Let's pose as a noble for tonight."

  Daisuke " Daisuke Goto. I have been invited."

  I passed the invitation card to him. Reading Webber's name.

  Knight " Yes sir. Let me escort you."

  I nodded and he took me inside.

  ........

  Reaching his mansion, I sent back the knight with 5 GCS as a tip. I moved forward and knocked on the door.

  THUK! THUK! THUK!

  Soon, a blonde maid opened the door and looked at me.

  Maid " Good evening....."

  She was mesmerised but I don't want to stand here all night.

  Ahem!

  She came to her senses and bowed.

  Maid " My apologies! Please come."

  Daisuke " It's alright."

  She brought me to the hall where Webber was with her family and Heather. She looks beautiful. As I was walking towards them, I saw that my choice was perfect.

  Daisuke " Good evening, Mr Webber. Thanks for inviting me. Please forgive me for coming without any gifts. You see as a foreigner, I am not allowed in the wealthy section."

  Webber, who with everyone, was back in senses.

  Webber " No, it's alright. We are already honoured with your company. Please let me introduce my family."

  He pointed towards a dy.

  Webber" My wife, Zua."

  Daisuke " Really? You don't look like a mother from any angle, My Lady."

  Zua" You are quite a ftterer but I will accept the comments."

  Webber" My son, Cobb and daughter, Libia."

  Walking towards him.

  Daisuke" How are you young man?"

  Cobb" I am fine, sir."

  Nodding.

  Daisuke" My! You are going to skip the heart beats of hundreds, young dy!"

  Libia" Thanks... for your praise...sir."

  She said with heavy blush. I turned towards Heather.

  Daisuke " I know you as a knight but today, you truly looks like a noble heiress."

  With a smile.

  Heather" Isn't it same for you?"

  I smile as well..

  Webber" Come, dinner is almost ready."

  Heather and I moved along with them. I know everyone was appraising me. Well, I have experience in these meetings. So, we went to the dinner table.

  There, I gave a demonstration of me attending a high css party. As for the results, they were obvious. Because Webber's children, hell even he was following me in table manners.

  After dinner....

  Webber " If you don't mind, can I ask how long, will you stay in Vibe?"

  Daisuke" Actually, I am on a journey of self awareness. As for my stay, I don't know. For now, I am exploring the byrinth. But I can check others byrinths ter for comparison or change of pace or something else."

  Webber" I see. Once again, I thank you for saving our lives and if you ever need my help. You can ask me."

  Daisuke" It's okay and thanks."

  After some more talks, I went back while being escorted by Webber.

  .........

  Later in Webber's house

  Webber was sitting in his bedroom with her wife in a long shirt like pajamas. Zua was wearing a transparent silver camisole. She came after combing her hair on the bed.

  Zua " Honey. What do you think about his rank? He doesn't look like a Baron's heir to me. Does he belongs to Viscount?"

  Webber" No. He's even above than that. A count if I think the lowest."

  Zua" A COUNT?!"

  Her eyes were widened.

  Webber " Yes. It was truly luck."

  ........

  Same night

  In Nib manor

  Febia Kua Nib was listening the tale of entire dinner. Her face was showing different expressions from surprise, astonishment and seriousness.

  Heather " Mother. Is he an heir of a Count?"

  Shaking her head...

  Febia" No Heather, you have met an heir of a Marquee tonight."

  Heather's eyes widened.

  Febia" But I want to make sure. Try to make a meeting of his with me."

  Heather" I will try, mother."

  ........

  Noon

  Csses equipped: Explorer LV 8, Vilger LV 13, Hero LV 6, Thief LV 10, Swordsman LV 8, Farmer LV 7, Merchant LV 2.

  Time for XP increase...

  5 times XP gain unlocked!

  I have only 2 BPS now but at least, my leveling up will increase. Then, I continue my hunt.

  .......

  Afternoon

  After selling my hunt, I have 855 GCS. So, I decided to visit the sve house.

  .......

  Reaching there, I met the guy from earlier. He took me to the dinner room ter when I said that I was there for business. After some minutes, Yae came inside.

  She was in brown gown. I stand up and welcome her. After sitting down...

  Yae" So, are you here to buy Isabel?"

  Daisuke " Yes. 160 GCS, right?"

  I said taking out 160 gold coins on the table slowly after opening item box with a mumbling notion to show use of incantation while I was using incantation omission.

  Yae" Yes."

  After I put coins on the present tray on table. She picked it up and stood up.

  Yae" Please wait, I will be back with her."

  I nodded.

  .........

  After some minutes...

  Kachak!

  Door opened and Yae came with Isabel. She has short hair and they are like a tiger fur. Her ears are alluring with hair. She has orange eyes.

  She has a round face and a upturned nose. She has freckles and a tiger tail. She is wearing a yellow waistcoat with white shirt emphasising her big breasts.

  She is wearing a yellow pants with no shoes?! I stood up and looked towards Yae. Who was with her maid, maid has a suitcase. Must be Isabel clothes.

  Daisuke " She's not wearing any shoes?"

  My question made everyone surprised. Then, Yae realised.

  Yae" AH! Looks like sves are given to nobles with everything but here master decides that. So, we don't provide them."

  Daisuke" I see."

  I looked towards her feet again. Then, I looked at her face. She seems confused.

  Daisuke " I am Daisuke Goto. A foreigner out of your continent. Due to this, I am not aware of many things about your continent including your race."

  Her eyes widened.

  Yae" Isabel. Your client belongs to one of the highest noble houses in his continent... Pardon me Daisuke, are you part of an empire or kingdom?"

  Daisuke" She's both helping in my act and gaining information."

  Daisuke" Goto family is part of our Empire and we watched over the bordernds near the Imperial capital for generations. "

  Yae" Bordernds near the imperial capital. So, you are from either a Principality or Duchy. I have a member of a foreign royalty in my house."

  Yae" Thanks for honouring me with your trust and you are lucky to be an explorer rather than a holder of Hero css. Otherwise you would be hunted both by our royalty for both reasons for having our first Emperor's css."

  Daisuke" I knew IT! No doubt, Hero is hard to level up."

  Daisuke" Our Emperor has the same css."

  Everyone's eyes widened. Yae bowed with everyone.

  Yae" Thanks for the information."

  Daisuke " It's alright."

  Yae" Now, let me tell you about sve contact in our continent. You will be responsible for her, clothes, food and basic needs."

  Daisuke" Obvious."

  Yae" You will have to pay her annual tax of 50 GCS along with your 140 GCS as a noble free person. Otherwise both of you will become sves."

  Daisuke" DAMN! That's some hard tax system even for nobility."

  Yae" In case of mistreatment by you or her or her attacking or stealing your property. Your contract will be cancelled and in ter cases, she will become a bandit."

  Daisuke" Sves rights?! Impressive!"

  Yae" You can also assign her will at any sve house and I will recommend mine. Do you accept these conditions?"

  Daisuke" Yes and I will visit you for the will ter."

  Yae" Thanks. Now raise your left hands."

  We raised our hands and she recited the I.D. card incantation.

  Whoosh!

  Then, two light green cards appeared. My I.D. has new information now. After another incantation.

  Daisuke Goto

  Sves: 1

  Isabel.

  Yae" Process is complete. You can check her card."

  I nodded and turned around. Isabel raised her left hand.

  Name: Isabel

  Female

  Race: Tiger kin

  Css: Berserker

  Sve

  Belongs to Daisuke Goto.

  Daisuke " Not bad."

  I also raised my left hand.

  Daisuke " Here, you can check too."

  She was surprised.

  Isabel" Really?"

  Daisuke" Yes."

  She checked my card. Then, we left.
