The last Vampire with the Hero summoner system: I get 5x their powers-Chapter 73: Will she ask me to shower with her?

Hell nah. I literally just said we can be stuck in there forever. Is this guy for real?

We could be trapped in there for millions, billions, trillions of years with no certain cap points, and eventually go insane. I need to awaken Arcana and learn how to fight properly, at least.

Alya’s jaw was almost on the floor as she looked at me in utter shock. Well, no one could blame her. I basically tied all the system bullshit to the "divine artifact".

She had never seen a divine artifact, so it was easy for her to believe stuff about it.

"But, I am certain we can eventually work something out in that amount of time?" At my absolute denial of look, he sat back down on his seat, his dead black eyes from a moment ago burning with another level of motivation.

I sighed, "It’s not like I don’t want to go, Subaru, I want to go as soon as possible. I need power. But, I don’t want to experience Alyndra all over again, and be stuck in a powerless situation."

"It’s not like I am asking for years. Maybe a few weeks or a month or two at most. With how fast I can progress, that should be enough."

He looked at me for a whole minute in silence, "Do you believe I risked your and mine lives when I gave my sword to Suneater?"

"Why are you suddenly changing topics?"

"Just answer."

"No. That would be stupid."

"I think the same. Trust can’t be trusted. What did you do?" Alya chimed in curiously.

"Third blessing of the infinity sword. It can’t harm anyone, its owner does not want to harm.

The blessing extends to the authority usage aswell. Even if Suneater possesses it and I cannot even unsheathe it, I am still its owner."

"Ah, that’s pretty neat!" The sword was even better than I expected! But why did he bring it up now? Don’t tell me...

Is he warning us that he can lift that safety any moment by just not wanting to not harm us and put our lives at risk?

No, that would make no sense. He’s the honorable type, even if shrewd.

"How convenient. That was a good move. But, we would’ve appreciated it if you told us before." Alya shook her head. Even if we guessed, we couldn’t be absolutely calm based on a guess.

She then turned towards me, "You’re right, we shouldn’t hurry with something like this. We should go when there are no excuses to not go..."

I smiled with a nod. She gets me. When we awakened Arcana, gained some experience, got some teamwork, we three should enter together and complete it in a handful of tries at max.

Subaru nodded quietly to our compliments.

I couldn’t help myself, and impatiently asked, "So your vote’s on waiting too, right?"

"I told you about the sword because it can easily win any fight. When I was in my prime, I saw your Arcana reserves. They’re massive.

Beyond massive. You have a disgusting amount of Arcana. And it’s without even having a core. When you awaken one, it will be even more." He spoke slowly. My excitement grew as I listened.

With a deep sigh, Subaru continued, "Let’s awaken your core, and then you will wield that sword in my stead.

Because, even with my massive reserves, when I awaken both my skills and Arcana, they will not be nearly enough to wield it to a usable degree. Only you can do it. Then, you won’t lack confidence about it, right?

I can guess what trials there possibly could be from what you told me, and I am fully certain none can stand against infinity sword. It should take two weeks at most to start a primordial trial then."

"..." I shared a look with Alya, even though she didn’t say much, she was more on the agreeing side than the denying side.

Well, in two weeks, with my intelligence, I could master a weapon. Maybe katanas from Subaru, since that’s what we are relying on.

Then, I could learn a few spells from Zhenny or Ren; they seemed really good with them. With my apparently massive pool of Arcana, they should be a great addition.

I saw no problems. Afterall, I wanted those 5x rewards more than anything.

"Okay, let’s do that," I said with a small nod, Subaru’s eyes brightened uncharacteristically. "But, be my teacher. Our teacher." I said with a smirk.

Alya’s body trembled with excitement at that. As if she were desperately waiting for me to train with her. And, being trained by someone like Subaru...

Now that was something. Someone that skilled, that overpowered. Could possibly make an Overload like Alyndra piss pants.

"With pleasure." Subaru agreed nonchalantly.

Our food came. My nose was dancing at the mouth-watering smells. It was welcomed after all the corpses and shit I had smelled.

My eyes almost watered when I looked at the wooden table. All my friends would instantly pull them cameras if they saw this table. It was decorated better than five-star restaurants would decorate their food, which was probably their strongest suit.

Seven plates of brown fried fish. Each on a separate stick. Ten sticks were on each plate, standing like how you would stand campfire sticks.

A lot of meat in five plates. Looked like a juicy, medium-cooked steak, so I wasn’t complaining. A towering ten layers of them on a single plate.

A massive cooker filled with thick, rich stew with veggies, meat, and herbs. It let out an aroma that magically made anyone want it. No matter how full.

I was the happiest man alive, it was an equal amount of happiness to when Alya was rubbing on me, licking my face, and all.

But that wasn’t even all. This world... This empire... This Inn... Had ice-cream!

A tear escaped my eyes I directly attacked the massive tub of ice cream. It tasted like vanilla flavor. And, it had a lot of almonds. Cut into very tiny pieces. They enhanced the flavor and made it taste like almond milk if you blended vanilla ice cream with it.

Alya was devouring the meat.

Be it eating four sticks of fish at once, or literally inhaling a piece of massive steak.

Subaru was surprised by my attack on ice cream and also tried it first. Asking for a separate tub. And all in all—

I had never imagined that type of childlike happiness on a Samurai, a fallen hero, and especially Subaru.

After completing half the tub, he focused on the stew, then he ate one spoonful of stew, then one of ice cream, and repeated till his stomach was bloated.

I ate thirteen tubs of that ice cream. It was just the best. When I shared my spoon with Alya, she had switched her focus to the ice cream, too. She loved sweets more than me apparently.

The thirteen tubs eaten was conclusion of that challenge being accepted. I lost. She ate twenty-two tubs. They weren’t small either; these tubs could fit like 1kg of ice cream.

Noticing my sulking look, we finished the final tub together. First spoon in my mouth, she fed me with a soft smile. Then next in hers, I fed that to her.

Then, I passed back the spoon, and she did it again. Now, I could taste Alya’s flavor, with some hints of the meat’s flavor.

It somehow returned my appetite for ice cream that I’d thought I’d definitely lost.

We stayed on that tub for twenty minutes. Blushing by the end of it.

Subaru, for some reason, had moved to another empty table with a mind-blowing look. I don’t understand why he looked awkward.

After all that ice cream, we shifted to the spicy items like stew and fish, getting many more fills, each item was eaten the same way as the ice cream. It was just addicting so we couldn’t stop.

She took one bite of fish, then she passed the same fish, turning the side she had bitten in towards me.

After thanking the kitchen workers and a sweating red-haired girl personally, we were guided to our rooms.

The poor red-haired cat girl was covered in sweat after bringing so many seconds and cooking most of the menu as three of them went away one by one. Apparently, their shifts ended.

I wanted to eat her food again, but she probably never wanted to serve us again. I’d personally want to quit my job after that much work.

Now, my face was covered in sweat. My entire body was. Probably even more sweat than the red-haired cat girl. I was sitting on a soft mattress with the windows open, letting in the cool, mountain winter air. So, it didn’t make sense.

Subaru was given a separate room. But us?

We were to share. There was only one bed. King-sized. My face cringed as I looked at the massive heart made with roses on the bed’s white sheet. There was a sweet scent of some jasmine flowers spreading in the room as well.

These guys had clearly assumed something of us.

My eyes were locked onto a wooden door in front of me. The bathroom. Alya had gone in. Probably taking a bath.

Will she ask me to come in?

Will she come out naked?

I didn’t know why I was sweating so much.
