Edrick spent a few more days having some relaxing time with his wives and fishing. After a little while, though, he found himself in Lui’s company once more. They went to the same city as last time. She showed him the way to a high-end place with a VIP section hidden underground.

The place offered an enormous buffet filled with all sorts of food, but also some exotic dancers performing for the wealthy guests. The most you could get here was a lap dance, though. This wasn’t Invefno, where basically anything went–In Invefno, debauchery was commonplace anywhere one could look.

It was a unique place within the country. Anywhere else that might offer similar services would be veiled beneath several layers and only accessible to small groups of people with either connections, knowledge, or money.

The two Elt clansmen got themselves a private booth that was elevated over the large room, accompanied by a one-way glass. They had their own version of the buffet, which was constantly being refilled by servants, and could even call up any performer they liked… Truly, having a high status was an incredible boon.

They didn’t even have to actively ask for it. The owner of the place scrambled to accommodate them the second he learned that two Elts had shown up. Though, perhaps ‘scrambled’ wasn’t the right word.

The owner wasn’t a stranger to Lui or other Elts coming by here. 

“To be frank, I was expecting that we were going to go hunting in a bar or restaurant again”

Edrick spoke up, with two dancers sitting on his lap and rubbing up against him. He didn’t restrain himself and was fondling them all he wanted, making them squirm and moan as he used Magic Fingers on them.

“I thought it would be interesting to come here. It just looks like a place to party, eat, drink, and have some fun with girls–But the owner actually organises other things alongside all of this… It’s usually auctions, but today it’s an alchemy tournament. Specifically for young alchemists to show what they can do and potentially win a prize”

“Oh?”

“Interesting, isn’t it? I like to come when there is an event. Auctions are often a bit boring, but tournaments? I love that shit. And who knows? If one of them is very cute, we can always snatch them up and bring them back to the clan”

“That makes sense. Wouldn’t most of those young alchemists be the disciples of masters, though?”

“Heheh… I don’t mean snatch them up literally. In most cases, at least. Many alchemists are somewhat of loners, you know? Craftsmanship disciplines are considered a great way for someone to build up a reputation from nothing. So you can often find talents that are on their own, or whose masters have no backing”

“Mmh… So we can easily ‘buy’ them, is that it?”

“Exactly. Well… I don’t often find talents that are worth the hassle. Maybe we’ll find a cute one we can play with, though… Actually, there was a good one the last time there was a tournament like this, but he ran away from me on the first occasion! I swear, whenever I am nice, people just decide to stab me in the back. I hadn’t even threatened him yet!”

‘I suppose our reputation as Elts frightens people…’

Thought Edrick as he glanced over to his Jhila. She had only taken a single girl for herself, but was having the dancer grind directly against her very clearly erect crotch, and quite aggressively at that.

Lui was holding onto the performer’s hips, delivering a powerful spank that left a red hand imprint upon the woman’s buttocks.

“Just thinking about it makes me mad. If there is a talented one this time, I won’t let them get away”

Lui took out a handful of Copper Leyens, placing them on the table next to her seat.

“I need to relax, get your knees, Cutie”

Of course, although they weren’t supposed to, the dancers often performed ‘favours’ for the more important guests, especially inside private booths like this one. Seeing the generous tip, the dancer did not dilly-dally and spun around, getting to her knees as Lui undid her belt and pulled out her lightning rod.

The dancer seemed a little spooked by the impressive Duuokois tool–But not for long, soon stroking it with one hand, and massaging the pouch with the other. She did this whilst beginning to moisten the whole thing by licking and kissing the erotic equipment.

She would sometimes recoil with surprise as small lightning currents hit her, but it was nothing strong enough to actually be problematic.

The two dancers rubbing up against Anoteros looked at the scene, blinking a few times.

“Good Sir, would you like us to…?”

One of them asked uncertainly.

The scion scratches one of his brows. 

“Sure, why not…” 

He dropped Copper Leyens onto the table next to his, and within moments, the two dancers got down from his lap, ready to service his noble club.

They seemed to somewhat reconsider their decisions when the one-headed hydra emerged from its den, but since they couldn’t just back off at this point. They used their chest to rub against it from opposite sides, basically hugging it in a pincer manoeuvre.

As the two Elt clansmen were enjoying themselves, there was movement down in the main room. Curtains were pulled, and the owner of the place was seen standing upon a large stage.

“Hello, everyone! I assume you all know what today’s event is, but in case you are unaware… We are hosting an alchemy competition for young alchemists! The winner will get to go home with a high-quality furnace capable of handling high temperatures and several types of flames! I can guarantee that–As long as it is used responsibly–It can last more than ten years!”

The owner turned into a showman, presenting the various rewards that could be won depending on where one ended up in the final ranking. He had even invited established alchemists to serve as the judges of the tournament.

For a place that mostly served as a party ground, the tournament was actually quite seriously planned out.

The contestants stepped into the room. As expected of Leynlornd, all were humans, most of them men.

However…

Is that a new script that I detect? It definitely is! Would you look at that… 

Major Scenario Detected: The Alchemy Grand Genius

Edrick focused on the system panel before looking more closely at the group of contestants, not even paying attention as sloppy choking sounds came from the dancer with Lui.

It was pretty obvious who the main character was amidst that crowd…

‘It’s that guy, isn’t it?’

Yep. He’s the prey
