VIP Chapter 89: Quest 89
Will looked at the ring on his hand.
“Hmm…”
He had seen witches use this item in the original work—but not Liya.
It seemed that magical items created by witches could be stored in the ring up to a certain capacity. For items not made by witches, they could be wrapped in a “certification film” produced by witches and inserted, though it would waste some space.
At the same time, and more importantly…
Paired with a special “Witch’s Hyper-Memory” medium, it could seal and store long-chanting magic the moment it was released. This granted certain permissions for emergency use of magic.
Liya had never used it—for no particular reason…
Because the item itself was very cheap, especially with a witch’s discount.
But!
Its later fees were outrageous.
It was as if the money not spent on the item’s base cost was shifted to after-sales service.
A single certification film cost about one-fifth of the coins Carver gave Will, equivalent to about a month’s living expenses for Will and Iaar in the capital. This item was single-use.
The hyper-memory medium cost about a box of coins from Carver. This was also single-use.
It would also consume capacity as more items were stored, requiring expansion. Each expansion cost about two boxes of Carver’s coins, which amounted to a year’s living expenses.
…
Wait, when you put it that way… it wasn’t that expensive.
The living expenses Carver provided for Will and Iaar were probably just pocket change compared to his daily income.
Will understood why Liya had given him the ring as a birthday present.
Because he clearly looked like someone who could afford the later maintenance costs!
Once he became the family head, with all the funding in place, this item could be upgraded into a perfect, cheat-like storage ring.
“Forget it, what’s the point of being a family head like this, having to socialize every day and being seen as a pervert by outsiders.”
Thinking this, Will put the ring on his… thumb.
He had initially intended to put it on his ring finger subconsciously.
Then he discovered a problem: this ring was designed for adults, and it felt a bit loose on his other fingers.
Alright, he had found another reason why Liya didn’t use this item in the original work.
He stretched.
On the “Quest System,” Will looked at Quest 88 from that time.
[Quest 88: Enable Treya to understand how to gain the demon’s favor during the Crowning Festival.]
[Reward: Order Treya to let me smell her used black stockings.]
“Hmm…”
Will thought for a moment.
He crossed out the reward, and at the very end of this page, he picked up his pen and rewrote the “reward” for this time—
[Reward: Have my first birthday, and have it be very happy.]
Although it felt strange to fill in the reward only after completion… his other plans for today were hardly “rewards” compared to this.
“Hm… Happy birthday, Will Systom.”
“Ah, it’s becoming too much like a diary. I’ve really become twenty years younger since I arrived here.”
Despite saying this, he contentedly turned the diary to the next page.
Then…
Appearing on the next page was…
Quest 89.
[Quest 89: If possible… Before the Crowning Festival, make Treya understand her “desires.”]
[Reward: To be filled in.]
Will originally thought this was impossible.
He had always believed that Treya was able to maintain her pure and naive appearance in the original work for two reasons: First, she didn’t understand the society and world she lived in. Therefore, she never realized that her trusted sister had been trying to trick her since childhood. Second, she didn’t understand herself. If “liking” and “loving” determined when she would find the starting line for becoming a “lost cause,” then… “Desire” was the factor that determined when she would find the starting line for blackening.
Before today, Will thought it was impossible. It was too difficult to make a Treya, who had always had simple goals, suddenly grow to have extreme desires.
But…
Will remembered the moment Treya covered her face with stockings and whispered in his ear.
“Did I misunderstand? It’s just ‘understanding,’ not possessing… It’s impossible for a person to have no desires. The problem is just that she hasn’t noticed…”
Will pondered.
[Reward: Order Treya to let me smell her used black stockings.]
He wrote this line down again.
“Okay, I’ll try tomorrow!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“How about this one?”
Will discovered that Treya had a flaw he had never noticed before.
That is… her fashion sense was suffocatingly bad!
Although she was already wearing perfectly textured black stockings…
When asked to choose black armor, it wasn’t meant for her to be fully covered!
Her black armor suit almost encased her entirely, leaving only her thighs exposed in black stockings.
“Uh… I think yesterday’s outfit would be fine if you just changed the color.”
“What about this one?”
A moment later, Treya emerged from her room wearing a black dress inside the same light armor she wore yesterday, but in black.
It made her look very bulky.
“Uh… in that case, won’t you be unable to showcase your sword skills?”
“If it’s just yesterday’s outfit, there’s no problem.”
Will, who only knew elementary-level sword techniques, felt insulted.
“This way, it doesn’t mean wearing a black dress. The inner lining just needs to be black.”
“Then how about this?”
The next second, she appeared wearing a black bra…
“Stop, stop, stop…”
“Hmm, yes, it’s not just Teacher Will’s words, we also need to consider…”
“You don’t mind me entering your room, do you?”
“You’ve already been carried in twice yesterday.”
“Okay!”
Will stormed into the young girl’s boudoir!
Treya’s room was filled with her dolls. There was a row on the bed, a row on the table, and quite a few on the floor.
However…
It could be seen that most of these dolls probably weren’t bought by Treya herself; they were likely gifts from others.
How to put it…
Treya wasn’t particularly attached to these dolls. Most of them were left on the floor gathering dust.
“Let me think… what you need is a top that matches black well, because this light armor doesn’t have chest protection…”
His fingers traced through Treya’s dresses.
As expected of a princess, her clothes were too numerous. Especially the formal wear.
There were a lot of white dresses, perhaps to reflect her silver hair’s purity.
But…
Many of these dresses were very similar. And dusty ones and recently worn ones were placed together in the closet.
This proved that Treya didn’t have much of a preference for dresses. If she understood herself better, she would have placed the ones she frequently wore on one side and the rest gathered dust on the other. The mixing only proved… she wore whatever others helped her choose.
“Found it.”
Will pulled out a slightly tight-fitting black top. Although it was made of silk, it wasn’t as thin as stockings; it had some thickness to it.
It looked unremarkable when held in his hand, and it seemed it wasn’t worn often, as it was creased from being folded for a long time.
“Hmm… Teacher Will, could you come take a look?”
A moment later, Treya, who had changed her clothes, stood before Will.
It was very… fitting.
