Chapter 67: A Purple-skinned Seductress

"Why did we get these many coins? aren't they all carbon souls?"

The first place Valentine and Sasha's head to was an exchange lobby, they had no coins, the only thing they had was all the carbon crystals that Vera and Sasha accumulated within the alleyways, once again he realised he got scammed, they were approximately a hundred crystals but they got a million and two hundred amethyst coins before he had gotten way less for creature cores, but these two had truly gotten a considerable amount of crystals.

"Yes, but they're lots of them... Vera went too far and we planned to use them to buy more sollux and bombs that rescue you two... around these cities, you won't see many individuals slaughtering humans and demons left and right like Vera does and then storing their crystals, most individuals that kill humans to get their crystals are demons and they usually devour them rather than exchanging them for amethyst coins or the currency in whichever city they are, hence, you might get a good deal from the exchange markets most of the time unless you're naive..." The beauty explained as they headed down the road, passing by several demons while he remained cloaked.

"..." The man clenched his hand in annoyance to the point his teeth clacked in silence, if anything had to be said, rather than naivety, it's lack of knowledge.

He's just following her along as she knows this place better than him and they don't want to go through the shops and places he has already been through as it could trigger his hunt yet again.

"But as a demoness, I'll always get you the best deal, demons find it hard to scam other demons as everyone here is already aware of standard prices, let's go and get you some gear and potions, I know the best place." She boasted and puffed out her big chest for seemingly no reason as she lead him to one of the places in this city she had seen recently.

"Potions?" He hadn't heard of this detail, that green-skinned demon or the dwarf demon didn't have such a thing in their inventory or at least they didn't mention it.

"Judging by your expression, you likely don't know them yet, they're never used by humans for obvious reasons and you have to go to a demon specialized in preparing them, not just anyone can do it and they're quite expensive... that's why we have to save some of the money." She sighed, a million and two-hundred amethyst coins isn't a quantity that will make you 'rich', but that's definitely not an amount of money a human possesses.

"Why do we need it?" He didn't 'want to spend money uselessly, they would need it through their remaining stay in the city, he didn't expect to remain there for more than a week if things went well.

Sadly, he couldn't count on things going well anymore after what took place.

"If you happen to lose your arm, you would like it to come back quickly rather than wait an entire day or two for it, right?"

"Indeed."

"Come, we will go to this smith and you will leave all the chit-chat to me, alright sweetheart?~" The demoness started to lean against him and even take his arm between her cleavage, only to be pushed away by him with a deep glare.

She is still a demoness and that's a prejudice he can't easily get rid of, even if she helped Vera.

"Don't call me that, you have been quite chummy lately, yesterday you weren't like this, are you bipolar or something?"

"I'm just more easy-going when I can control myself." She huffed in annoyance at his attitude and desisted from taking his arm.

'You're too stubborn... can't you let yourself be seduced like any normal man?'

"What is that supposed to mean?" He inquired, not understanding the demoness' words.

"Nothing..."

"It's not every day you see a demoness so comfy with a human, huh? he must be quite tasty." The owner of this shop was a cloaked demon with two horns protruding from his head, this store looked like a shit-hole compared to the other one Valentine went to with the girls, it's called 'Pomme' for some reason.

"You have no idea~ show my master your best equipment, I want a good price." With all the shamelessness that existed in the deepest corners of the netherworld, the seductress uttered those words.

!!!

'Master?!' Valentine's entire countenance dropped, this woman knows no limits!

"Master? I see...you have 'that' kind of roleplay going on, and what do I get?"

For the cloaked demon, this is not a weird matter, what's odd is for the human to be the master and not the other way around, especially considering that Sasha doesn't look like a weak demoness... she doesn't have her wings and tail, but she's toned and obviously not a demoness of lust, not one that relies on her body to survive within these lairs.

"Money, a lot of money... we have a very tight budget, it's five hundred amethyst coins, no more, no less." The bargaining began with Sasha holding Valentine's hand at all times implying her 'status'.

'...' Meanwhile Valentine couldn't take this disgrace, there is not a single bastard in this world that's honest... not even one.

"That's a tight budget depending on what you want to get, weapons? I have a few sweets, you can get them for that amount." The demon smirked, even if Sasha is a demoness he'd still get the maximum out of this bargain, she says she has five hundred, which means that she likely holds at least seven hundred.

He either plunders all that money today for the least possible products or his store is not called 'Pomme' by any means.

"Hahaha, you're such a jester~ My master here is a protector, are you sure you want to get fussy?~" This is the golden argument to use in the netherworld's anti-violence cities, in the pro-violence ones? they'd attack you with more haste to steal that precious loot.

The reaction of the demon was immediate as the eyes he used to look at Valentine changed before he thought that the roleplay was due to the fact that the demoness is fond of being submissive, but now, it makes sense that he'd be the master, still...

"And where is his badge? he does certainly look like a protector." Just judging by the clothes he's wearing and that short ruby-like sword on his waist, it's not the appearance humans have in this city... he needs a little more filth and missing limbs to be more 'human'.

"Where is it, master?~" With a chuckling seductive expression, Sasha turned towards Valentine and asked lustily, allowing him to cooperate for once, but all she received was a fierce deadpan.

'This vixen...'

"We fucked so much yesterday that I forgot." He smiled and pulled her waist harshly with apparent possessiveness, one that made the demoness blush slightly even as her expression remained.

She bit on her lips and eventually evaded his gaze, that hadn't been a show, but it managed to convince the shop's owner. 

"... shameless ones I see..." He sighed, these kinds of customers don't come to his shop usually, but when they do... they're troublesome.

"You heard him, now stop wasting our time and show him the goods" Sasha reigned in her control but didn't reject their close proximity.

"I can recall your face from somewhere, lad... alright, I'll see what I can do, what do you need?"

"This..."

**

"You see? with me it's always a bargain, m-a-s-t-er~"

"... let's go back, stop your nonsense..."

He had gotten iron arrows for Fayette and a crossbow, this item was the most costly... new armour plates to cover their crystals, boots and arm covers, a few cloaks, another backpack as they had lost one before and many other useful utilities, everything for the modicum price of six hundred amethyst coins.

Surely if he had done that himself without Sasha, he would have needed to give out an eye from his face, perhaps both.

...

"Is it really nonsensical? when you grabbed my waist back then, I felt your strong grip... why do you hold yourself back? you're a passionate man."

They now moved towards the next destination, the 'brewery' an odd name for a place focused on selling potions, or not?

"You talk as if you know me."

"... I don't, but once you have lived long enough you can... perceive... something things and I can notice you're quite passionate, the way you look at Fayette and Vera, I can sense the love in your gaze for the blondie but, I can sense the lust and affection for Vera too, a lot of it in fact~"

"..."

"And I can sense your gaze on my cleavage and butt too, in case you wondered."

"..." He wouldn't apologise for that, it's just looking.

"Why aren't you saying anything? because I'm right?~" She walked closer to him, almost whispering beside his ears, it's so funny to tease him like this.

"What do you want to achieve?" He doesn't know why this woman is focusing so much on his private life, they barely know each other, moreover... their first encounter wasn't the friendliest, furthermore, he has shown his despise for demons all along.

"I'm just giving you a little warning, I'm fond of Vera and if you don't make a move, I'll take her away from you." Her gaze turned stern with curled up lips, and it was at that moment that the two of them stopped on their tracks and she knows she got his attention.

!!!

"What did you say?" Coldness filled his voice, this is not a comment he can let slide.

"I said that I have been wanting to fuck Vera for a while, you might not have noticed but I'm more interested in women than men, but all along she has been into you and won't let me touch her... if you don't make a move... I'll steal her from you, is that clear enough?~"

*THUD!!*

That sentence alone managed to get her pinned to the wall in one of the alleyways, Valentine noticed that her body was heavier than he expected, he didn't say anything but his hostility was apparent, one of his hands is even on his waist, ready to take out the knife.

"Oh? forceful now?~" Rather than feel fear, Sasha smirked fearlessly and approached for a kiss, luckily or not, he moved his head back or they would have kissed right here.

"Is that the reason you have been helping Vera? if that's the case, we're fucking off after I come back" Perhaps due to the favour she did for them, he allowed her to live, but seeing his disinterest to listen and his clear intention to just let this matter slide and leave her place today.

Sasha felt irritated and took his arm harshly before he left her in the alleyway.

"I'm only trying to help you... after nearly dying, do you still want to hold back with anything? you don't know when anything could happen and you won't have a chance to regret it, Vera went through a lot to save you!"

"You're unlike every demon we have met, stop meddling with our business, we have known each other way before you appeared, don't act as if you know everything." He slapped her hand away in annoyance and started to walk away, not up for going to whatever brewery she was trying to take him.

If it was so simple, he'd be in a relationship with the two of them since long ago.

'I'm someone that cares about you, fool...'

"I don't know what happened to you in the past, but if you don't man up, you're going to lose the chance to be together with the two girls you love, and they will only drift apart from one another, remember that... this is hell, not the Earth." She followed him, aware that she just pissed him off, but... those are words that she wants to say.

"I'll consider your advice... but we're still leaving." He uttered and kept walking back to the pub.
