Your eyes light up with happy sparkles, as getting enough of those under your belt is the best way a flatty like you can rank up your Adventuring License from provisional to a proper Copper Rank. "We <span class="mu-i">could</span> involve Mikhail-"
Daphne slams her hand on the table, looking at you in shock. "Wait, wait, wait, wait, <span class="mu-i">wait</span>. Mikhail. As in Mikhail fon Dovastad? As in the Ultra Rank S-Class Super Hotty who tops the student ranks at the <span class="mu-i">Collegia Espada</span>? <span class="mu-i">He's</span> your boy toy?"
"Not possible," Tiff mumbles, back to reading her porn. "That man's a turbo virgin who only thinks about swords. I don't think he even knows what boobs are."
You smirk, puffing out your insubstantial chest with pride. "Well he does now!"
Tiff stares at you for a long moment, taking a sip of her juice that lasts far too long. "I rest my case."
A strange choking noise comes out of your mouth as words fail you. You did not expect Tiff of all people to go straight for the kill shot there, not when she herself ascribes to the ideals that chests of all sizes make the world more beautiful. Amalia rests a gentle hand on your shoulder and reassures you, "I'm sure he liked what he saw, Val. Men can't control themselves around women they care for. Which is why it's extra important that you be carefu-"
"<span class="mu-s">Anyways</span>," you snap, giving both Amalia and Tiff the stink eye. You know they both mean well, but sometimes their personalities can... "Anyways, we don't need a warrior to join us for most Copper Rank quests. A coven of sorceresses can do just fine without a meat shield, especially when..."
Your voice trails off as you give meaningful looks at all of their chests, and how their robes are full to bursting. They might be nerds and outcasts, but besides <span class="mu-i">that bitch</span> they're three of the most "gifted" sorceresses across the Nine Towers.
"Right," Amalia nods. "Well, I suppose an adventurer might be a worthwhile endeavor."
Tiff nods enthusiastically. "I wanna see if goblins are as gifted in real life as they are in my novellas..."
All three of you give Tiff an odd look before Daphne says, "Let's just avoid anything to do with Orcs or Goblins. Tiff might betray the pact."
"<span class="mu-i">What pact</span>?" you and Tiff ask simultaneously.
