Chapter 17. Comfort increase

Zeldi finished her late afternoon meal while I finished milking her boobs with two almost full bottles. I held them up with a silent question on my face.

Zeldi rolled her eyes. "Fine but only because you have soft hands." She followed this by standing back up and throwing her dress onto her back. This gave me access to her udders.

All I needed was to fill the bottles so that I could sell them but I kept a third ready as I wasn't going to leave a job half finished.

"So what's your next quest Master?" Zeldi asked as she pushed her back leg that was closer to me backwards so I had better access.

"Get your comfort above fifty percent." I answered getting to work. "My plan is to sell all the milk I've gotten from you today and buy us a bed because last night was not fun. I'm impressed you actually got any sleep at all on it."

"Oooooow that would be great Master. Can you make sure it's a big one?" Zeldi excitedly asked, a mischievous twinkle in her eyes.

"I will definitely be making sure it can fit both of us don't worry." I returned.

"Not just us Master." She purred. "We need it for all your future producers as well."

I snickered at her . "Why do I get the feeling you are more interested in having another woman on this farm than I am?"

Zeldi shrugged but couldn't hide the pink spreading through her cheeks. "Well I'm just pointing out that more bodies make for a warmer bed on those cold nights and us women sometimes need some girl time."

"If you're cold I can think of a few activities that would warm you up." I said back giving the last teat a good squeeze to make sure I got it all. I'd managed to get about a tenth of the third bottle filled along with fully filling the other two so I was happy.

Zeldi was a blushing mess after my last comment and couldn't decide if her tail should be raised or hidden.

I sold the two full bottles bringing my grand total to thirty six Farm Points. Hopefully it was enough to actually buy what I wanted.

"Now first things first. We need to get all that hay out of the room. Can't fit a bed in there with that." I said making my way into the house.

Now that I was sure nothing could get onto the property I was a lot happier to leave the bottles out. The only thing that stopped me putting the partially filled one on the bench was that I was unsure how quickly it would spoil. We didn't have a fridge right now and I didn't wanna to waste any just to test a theory.

With that in mind I left the remaining empty bottle on the bench and kept the partially filled one in my inventory so that I had the other nine spaces for whatever I could buy and to help move the hay.

That turned out to be a bad thought unfortunately as my inventory would not accept the hay as anything more than a single strand per inventory space. So it was a full hands on job with no mystical powers to help.

Instead I had a lovely Centaur who was more than happy to help out. Even when I got a bit handsy trying to 'help' her lift. In return the moment I let my guard down she managed to get a good slap along my backside that had caused me to drop my armful of hay.

This had caused a round of me chasing her that had been very interesting as no matter how fast she ran I could keep up with her no problem. It had ended with me getting on her back and grabbing her chest while she panted, with both of us surprised that I hadn't even broken a sweat.

I'd tried to say it was all because of her buff but Zeldi had shot me down saying that even the farmers at her village that she had sold her milk to before she had left didn't have this much of a effect. Again I tried to argue that her milk was of a lesser quality back then but she wouldn't listen. Apparently I'm just strange. That was something I couldn't come up with an excuse for no matter how much I thought about it.

After that little break we had returned to removing the hay and succeeded without any more distractions. Well only a few distractions.

The room was still in desperate need of a vacuum or even just a broom but I hesitated to spend the points just yet. Bed first at least.

So with thirty six Farm Points what could I buy?

The options were a bit depressing with most of the beds that could fit Zeldi being fifty at least but then again do I really need the whole bed? Granted it would be better for both of us but I could just make do with a mattress.

This seemed a lot more reasonable as just a mattress cost twenty five for the super king size. The downside was that it would get dirty really quickly with it being on the floor and I would need to purchase the duvet and other blankets separately. Oh and pillows. But the trade off was I could get it now without having to wait longer.

Could I survive another night like last night?

Nope not at all. I would rather sleep outside on the dirt.

I purchased the mattress having made up my mind rather quickly then looked through bedding for it with the last sixteen points I had. That turned out to be way easier as for fifteen I could get a under sheet and duvet to fit though that did leave me with only one point again.

It would be worth it for Zeldis comfort.

With the items purchased I picked the far corner of the room in the hopes Zeldi would still have enough room to move about. It didn't work out as when the mattress materialized it took up almost three quarters of the available space. Yet another reason to buy a bigger house though at the prices they were it would probably be easier for me to buy an axe then make it myself.

"Oh!" Zeldi gasped having been watching from the doorway. "Did you forget the frame Master?"

"Couldn't afford it unfortunately." I responded summoning the bedding. "Just going to have to make do with this for now."

I had to crawl over the mattress to reach the far corner so that I could tuck it in as my little mare just watched. Her body would have made it a little awkward if she had tried.

As I set the second corner in place I marveled at how soft the mattress itself was. Admittedly I could have gone for one that was only fifteen points but I had splurged a little to get one that was over twice as thick to counter Zeldi's additional weight. I will however not be telling her that.

With the bedding set up and the duvet left in the middle I realized I'd forgotten pillows... Welp that's a shame.

"This looks amazing Master. May I try it?" Zeldi said as she inched forward.

"Go for it." I quickly got out of the way so that she could and the beautiful Centaur was out of her clothes in a flash before hesitantly pulling herself onto it.

The mattress yielded to her weight but never dipped more than halfway into itself even when she flopped down with a groan that made me jealous I wasn't it's cause.

"By the mother mare Master. This makes wishing for you worth it by itself." Zeldi sighed her voice getting droopier with every word.

I just smiled and touched the duvet to put it in my inventory as trying to get it from under her was going to be a loosing battle. I then resummoned it so I could cover her as best as I could while the soft snoring told me she had been a lot more tired than she was letting on.

With a kiss on her forehead that I doubted she even felt I left her there while closing the door to give her some quiet.

Zeldi

Production quality: D-

Livestock possess permanent upgrades that stop her milk going being below a D- quality rank.

So worth the points spent and with that my quest was complete. The part about her production being decreased also vanished.

Current quest: Raise a livestocks comfort to 50% or higher.

Reward: Livestock request.

Status: Complete

Would you like to turn in quest?

Of course.

Livestock request has been sent out to an unbound Livestock that has the highest chance of accepting.

Ooow, so slightly better odds then. Not like I was going to hold my breath too much on that one but there's a chance. It also didn't mention anything about the new potential livestock getting here, like did they have to walk or were they just teleported here? Guess we'll hopefully figure that out.

More importantly next quest!

Current quest: None.

Reward: Choose your own reward.

Would you like to turn in quest?

Note: Whatever reward you pick will greatly change how future quests and rewards are given to the current deed owner and no additional quests may be taken for twenty four hours after a decision is made.

Um what? I get to pick my own quests reward?
