Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest - Chapter 1020

-----

With Mark, we first visited the gym to do some workout, one hour and a half of that, where we ended meeting with Rita, Lily, and Jenny. And then as a group we moved to Mark's apartment using his car. There, I used my Inventory to store literally everything very easily, leaving the place completely empty.

"Goodbye my single's apartment..." He sighed, locking the door shut. "Alright, let's go."

"Hahaha, did you had to be so dramatic?" Rita laughed at him. "My single's apartment! Hahah! Were you going to live your entire virgin life there, Mark?"

"R-Rita! Enough with the teasing." I reprimanded my friend, giving her a gentle karate chop in the head.

"Ouch! Hey, I was just trying to lighten the mood," she complained. "Look how happy this man is, you sure make him overjoyed. How many times do you two do it per day? Just curious..."

"Rita..." I looked at her into the eyes.

"Haha, just joking..." She smiled nervously.

"Eh, I mean, she's not wrong, not so long ago I imagined I would live my entire life as a single virgin until the day I died..." Mark said. "Well, as long as I kept myself away from my family..."

"Why your family?" Lily wondered curiously.

"Err, well... They kept harassing me about some girl I met when I was younger, a childhood friend I haven't seen in years that they arranged a marriage with me with their family, but I've been ignoring them ever since. I am an adult now, so they can't force me to do anything." Mark sighed.

"Oh, right, I do remember that... Is that girl fine with that?" I wondered. "I mean, did she want that?"

"I don't know... She did have a crush on me, but I wasn't into her back then, I was just obsessed with anime and video games, completely clueless about her crush. When we stopped meeting that ended in that, and I just moved on," Mark said.

"I thought you were just some average guy, but I guess even you get some girls sometimes... Huh, well, poor girl, I hope she gets a better man," Rita laughed, patting his shoulders.

"I hope so too, she was a good girl," Mark nodded. "Now I'm just really happy with Elayne, I don't really think of ever moving out of this little love nest we've built together." He held my hand.

"Aren't you girls going to say something?! I just said my husband's gotten old and lazy! What do I do?!" Rita asked.

"Maybe just let him rest..." I sighed. "But if you insist... Just give him, you know..."

"I've tried but he doesn't want to take it, he says it'll make his rod fall off or something." Rita sighed. "I swear, he hasn't given me any for a whole week!"

"That's not so much, maybe you're impatient..." I said.

"Yeah!" Lily nodded.

"Says the two that get it going every day, multiple times a day at that!" Rita crossed her arms. "You girls don't understand my pain, sigh..."

"Perhaps helping him with some potion or something could do the trick?" Mark tried to join the awkward conversation.

"Heey... Now we talkin'." Rita smiled. "Yeah, maybe, maybe~ A rejuvenation potion, can you make me that for my hubby, Elayne?"

"Um, but wouldn't that awaken him?" I wondered. "It might be dangerous to feed something magical to non-magical people, you know?"

"Ughh..." Rita began gnashing her teeth very loudly.

"O-Okay, I get it! I'll make something, stop doing that!" I cried.

At the end, we moved back home and had some lunch. Rita brought the leftovers back home to share with her family, including the new food I made for her.

I mean, the rejuvenation thingy. She told me her husband loved eating flan for dessert, so I enchanted one with my sap as "syrup" and added Spirits of Cooking to modify its effects. Divine Gourmet Essence worked wonders, creating a flan named "Pudding of Love".

And well, I'll hear about how that went later, I guess...
