30 Happiest day of my life

We had finally coaxed Laurel out of her office. Or should I call her mom now? *Sigh* I dont know, Either way we coaxed her out of the office. Laurel and Alex walked in front while in walked behind them. Because ladies first you know? It definitely didn't have anything to do with watching Alex's firm backside sway as she walked. Or seeing her tail swish which was oddly seductive.

I let my mind wander as I followed the two women. They seemed to know where they were going. On the bright side I had noticed that abdomen was hurting much less than it had been before. My mothers healing spell really had done the trick. I could tell that her words were correct and that it would still take me a few days to heal. This did not bother me however, as it had been 2 months since I had seen any sort of civilization.

Shopping had been nice, but what I really wanted was to experience good food and a Drink or 5 from the bar on the first floor. I died young so I had never had a chance to really experience the world too much, especially with being raised in a poor family. Perhaps this is why I was so eager to buy a house. My mother had always traveled from one house in the slums to another. It would be nice to set down roots.

Before I noticed we had already left the Guild building and were once again in the city. The city itself was not as high tech as the guild, but I still managed to find the traces of magical technology. The streets were lined with lamps. Laurel explained to me that they were powered by a type of light spell. They gathered the light by day and cast the spell [Mage Light] at night. It was basically a solar powered lamp!

I heard the sound of music coming from a nearby shop, and was told that it was from a sound reciever. The sound was transmitted from a room in the tower. It was all done by magic. The world around me truly started to astound me. They were quite advanced in some aspects and in others they were lagging behind our world.

The biggest difference would have to be transportation. People traveled around mostly using carriages pulled by different types of beasts. More often they simply travelled on the beast itself or just walked.

There also wasn't anything like indoor plumbing. all of the townsfolk took their water from wells, or if they were magicians they conjured water from the air. This was one of the main reasons public baths existed. When I asked about human waste they looked at me and blinked, but eventually told me about the improvised toilets they had. They were installed with an incinerator powered by fire type magic that would remove the waste once a day. They did not smell the best, but were at least semi sanitary. About on par with a public bathroom in a super center.

There were plenty of other differences, but it would take me litterally days to discuss them all. Suffice it to say that it was a surprisingly modern world but had plenty of medieval elements.

My stomache growled as we passed a street vendor selling a delicious smelling food. The girls both looked at me, before realizing their own hunger. By an unspoken agreement we all went to the stall. I found that they were selling a type of noodles that had plenty of different vegetables in it. It was all smothered in a sauce that reminded me of soy sauce but was spicier with a bolder flavor. Needless to say it was delicious. Compared to the plain roasted fish I had been eating for the last few days it was rather heavenly.

We ate as we walked, and before long we found ourselves at a modest sized building. When we walked in we were greeted a rabbit Beastman who was mostly human in appearance. She had a cute face, but was not even comparable to Alex. After a flashing her a brief smile Laurel began to speak.

"My daughter is looking for a place to lay down roots. Price is not an object. She is looking for something peaceful, a single bedroom would be fine."

I interrupted her. "Two bedroom! we need two bedrooms!"

She looked at me for a moment. "Do you have another roommate that I don't know about? A second room will not be needed if its just you too. Alex hasn't been able to sleep alone since she was a child."

Alex blushed but nodded. "I..It's true. I have to sleep with someone else. Beastmen can't manage to fall asleep alone."

The bunny girl behind that was listening also nodded at this. "What she says is correct. It's a rather odd aspect of our species.. but *Shrugs* we make great snugglers."

We ended up looking at a total of 5 houses. Each of them nicer, and more expensive than the last. All of them were single bedroom. Before we even entered the fifth house I had decided it was the one I was going to take. It looked like a small cottage, and it was on the outskirts of the city. Just barely inside of the walls. The back part of the property was litterally taken up by the massive wall. The wall would cast shade on the place at night, which was ok by me.

Their was a large pond in the front, which acted as a center point to the cottage as well as 4 other surrounding cottages. Each of them was given quite a distance of space, granting the entire image the spacious feel of being a part from society, yet still being inside of it.

The cottage itself was rather small, and true to the previous pattern of houses we had looked at it was a single bedroom. However the room was massive, with a walk in closet. The only bathroom was attached to the bedroom and had a large indoor bath. The water was taken from the pond. and fed back into it after being filtered. It was kept warm by a magical device that only needed a single point of mana to activate.

The toilet was in a separate room than the bath, and was rather well ventilated. It would partially solve the issue of smell from only a single burning a day.

Their was an attached kitchen and a literal ice box. It was an insulated box that was kept cold by a slab of ice. The chunk of ice would need to be replaced once a month, and was guaranteed to keep your food fresh.

The living area came complete with a fireplace and rather large windows that overlooked the pond. Needless to say I was in love with it. Laurel needed up doing some negotiations and we got it for a steal at 5 and a half gold pieces. We had to fill out some paperwork, but less than an hour later I had the keys to our new house.

Laurel insisted on buy furniture for us, which I gratefully accepted. The next couple of hours were a whirlwind as we went from place to place getting the appropriate furnishings for our new house.

At long last The shopping spree was over and it was finally time for a bath. The bath house was a rather large place that reminded me of a hot spring. The area was split into different sections. The largest section, which was the communal bath was split by a giant wall that separated the genders.

We did not go to this area, It seemed Laurel had an executive level membership here and we were quickly escorted to a rather large private bath. The girls did not hesitate as they took off their clothes at the entrance. I had to say all things considered my mother had a great body, it seems my proportions were likely inherited from her.

My attention however was captivated by the sight of Alex as she unintentionally looked very seductive as she bent forward as she slipped her panties off. Her behind was a work of art, and I was in full view of it. She looked back at me and her face went completely red as she saw my eyes pasted to her gorgeous body. She quickly covered her not so big chest and she ran into the water.

This did not stop her from staring at me as I uncovered my already naked body. My face was as red as hers as I pulled my panties off. I made sure to return the favor she had unintentionally gave me as I turned away from her as I bent forward.

The bath was rather awkward after that, neither ofncould make eye contact, and our faces seemed to be stuck in a crimson state. My other remained oblivious to this as she stretched out in the bath. She let out a moan as her body lowered in to the water.

I quickly followed as my body was dipped into warm watery heaven. The pains and strains in my body that I didn't even know I had began to untense and a soft moan escaped my lips as it did so.

We stayed there for two hours in total, and then went to an actual restaurant for dinner. It seemed that neither of the two could cook. The food was amazing, and again we had a private booth thanks to Laurel. The night passed swiftly, and we ended up at the first level of guild. We sat down at the bar, and the dwarven bartender took our orders. It seems that she was actually a rather remarkable bartender, most likely due to her [Mixologist] title.

The first shot was like liquid fire as it poured down my throat, but laurel and Alex were adamant that I drink it all in a single go.

After the fourth shot the night became a blur. But I will always remember that day as the happiest of my life.
