Accepting the gold would help you buy a house and leave you with tons leftover. They offered it knowing the consequences.
But you know they're having problems with money, and Kasato was expecting a child soon...
You declined, and perceive the relief and gratitude of the kitsunes here.
"We are in your debt." Said Eisho, as he and the rest of his wives bowed their heads. You ask if rewards are common to give out for missing people, and he says there's an adventurer's guild in this city that formally dealt with these things. This prompts Kasato to reveal being a former adventuress and bodyguard for Eisho, and they both begin to tell stories of when they were traveling merchants.
"If you'll excuse me, I'd like to get some beverages for us." Ayane said as she stood up.
"I'd like to see what sort of teas you have around here. Mind if I come with?" You say, knowing the perfect chance to talk in private when you see one.
"It'd be my pleasure, Lord Savant." Ayane bowed her head respectfully and you followed her into a kitchen. She begins to take out some small boxes filled with tea leaves, listing their names to you. Rose might like to know about this, so you ask where to get them, and she answers happily.
But this isn't the real reason you went with her.
"So, Ayane," You began after she was done. "You've been having trouble with finding a Master."
"I have." Melancholy fogged up her face. "I've resigned myself to living in want for the rest of my life. The shame I bear today shall be nothing compared to when my father's spirit will leave this earth." She said depressingly. "But you need not worry about me; There was a small cottage my sister and I used to play in, where I'll live the rest of my days in peaceful solitude." A strong smile was on her face, though with your perception you could tell she's dreading it.
"If it's a Master you need, there happens to be one I know about."
"Oh?" Her ears flicked to you, and a small ray of hope shone in her eyes, along with a face that was now ready to barter. "Please tell, I would like to know of a man that is willing to bear with me."
"You're looking at him." You say. She stares at you, first with surprise, then with a smile.
"Ah, Lord Doe, please don't tease your elders like this... at the same time," With composed politeness she bowed. "I thank you for the compliment."
"This is no joke, Ayane." She's not an ugly person by any stretch, her curves filling up her clothes nicely. Damn, why did a hag like her have such an erotic body??? "I want you to be part of my harem. What do you say? Will you have me as your Master?"
She blushes in disbelief and covers her mouth with her hands, letting go of the teacup she was holding. You're able to catch it before it hits the ground, getting a faceful of tail fluff. She snaps out of her shock.
"If I'd be willing to have you? That's... Of course I'd-" From how her composure wavered she must now realize you're being serious. "Yes! I would love nothing more~"
