Chapter 147 – No Time to Rest

“I understand. I’ll take my leave now. Good luck to you, miss, lady Vejas.”

I left the tent, only to see the ministers still outside, watching me with a mix of curiosity and annoyance. Some of them had resumed arguing but they took my exit as a signal to come back in and did just that.

I needed time to organize my thoughts and found a place with fewer people, sat on the grass next to a field outside the barricade, and pondered about my future schedule.

Since I needed to be present here every day, I couldn’t start another long trading expedition like the one in Makji. I also couldn’t do any business in Geola and since Suuru was doing fine in 82, I suddenly had a lot of free time on my hands.

Yet, that wasn’t a problem. It might be a good opportunity to take care of several things I should have done a long time ago, which I kept pushing back due to being busy and enjoying my trading life in this new world a bit too much.

The first one was to create an emergency shelter. It was something all spatial mages did, a place to teleport to, that was completely safe and only known to themselves, in case of a severely dangerous situation. It was becoming critical to have one because this world was a lot more dangerous than expected. I had only been here for some weeks and had gotten in a potentially dangerous situation three times already.

The next was to train my magic more seriously. I couldn’t do any training for a whole week and that was becoming a bad habit. For someone like me who wasn’t stuck against the wall, ranking up was critical. Ranking up meant time to train. Free time could be made by having a lot of money, which was one of the reasons the Trading Union had been so dominating back in my world.

Still on this topic, and considering how dangerous this world was, I wanted to change my training target. I previously wanted to learn the gate spell next but changed my mind now. Instead, I decided it was better to learn “personal dimensional armor” first, or “spatial armor” for short. It was a spell that would complete my defense perfectly. If spatial shield was used to redirect attacks coming at a certain speed, spatial armor handled all the attacks slower than that. The other main differences were that it didn’t redirect them but stopped them, needed to be activated, and wasn’t as strong as its counterpart. To put it simply, it was perfect to avoid being assassinated during sleep, which was one of the biggest weak points of spatial mages. It was something that could have happened if the thief we caught in Makji had been after our lives.

Apart from that, there were many other matters I wanted to handle. I didn’t know how many languages there were in this world but learning dome 6’s language wouldn’t be a minus for when I chose to go global. Speaking of which, I still wanted that world map, or at least a map of the continent or something. That would be a huge help. I also wanted to check a few battles that would be occurring in the war since it would probably be an impressive sight. Otherwise, finding new potential business ventures was always a thing, and exploring the world wasn’t out of the question, especially now that I knew there wasn’t deep hatred for humans or spatial mages here.

But first, I teleported to 82’s market since it wasn’t that late in the day. I found Suuru selling our food diligently, looking like she was in a good mood, and even more after noticing my arrival. I explained the situation to her while giving her back the money she landed me and didn’t end up using. This made me think about another way of using my time. Now that I was slowly filling my list of potential destinations, going out together with Suuru didn’t sound like a bad idea. Free and instantaneous travel to exotic destinations. Who would say no to that?

We finished our sales before the end of the afternoon and went back home. After a late but satisfying lunch, we switched to also very enjoyable and intense sex. Now that there wasn’t any need for restraints anymore, I pounded her very willing pussy until she called for a stop, out of breath and energy. The sex was amazing and she reacted extremely well to it, making it even more pleasant.

We took an early bath together which we used to rest a little and got ourselves ready for our afternoon schedule. There wasn’t much to it. For some hours, we each focused on our magic training right outside of the dome. When it got dark, I took her to Alfiro to have dinner. Just like Geola, she marveled at the new city. She was also curious about how the culture was so different, especially the difference in treatment between men and women, and I shared my limited knowledge on the topic. She was startled a couple of times when women tried to flirt with me but the evening was great, nonetheless.

Back home, we had another training session at her house for a couple of hours more. After that, it was time for a final round of sex, which left us exhausted enough to fall asleep soon after.

If I wasn’t as ambitious as I was, such a life could be seen as paradise. However, I knew myself well. It was delightful indeed but if I were to do that every day, I would soon get restless and try to start something new. I was twenty, after all. If I didn’t do these things now, when would I? I had seen enough people above a hundred having lost a good chunk of their motivation to believe things could be reported to the future.

I would never be as mentally energetic as right now.
