After bathing, Cynthia walked back out of the bathroom, fully naked. She had no other clothes, so she could only wear her birthday suit. Seeing this, Sally was nice enough to give her a fresh pair of clothes before going into the bath with Vance and Alice...

"So we will take the thieving cat shopping." Alice declared. "She can't be without clothes. Since Vance is responsible for her, we should at least get her some daily clothes since we will not be grinding levels for a while."

"Alright, sell the useless stuff that we do not need. I had already gathered all the materials, rare and superior weapons, into my inventory. I will spend the next few days upping my crafting level so I can make us some decent armor soon. If you girls want, you can also take Cynthia into the forest north of here. It is all level twenty mobs. You can power level her and gather more materials as well." Vance knew it would be boring for them to be sitting around all day while he was working on crafting, so he already had a few options for them to choose from to keep them busy.

"Alright, we can do that. We can't have our thieving cat being useless." Alice snorted before kissing Vance on the lips and walking out of the room.

Sally did the same before turning and winking at Cynthia, who quickly ran up and pecked Vance on the lips and then quickly ran out of the room. Vance chuckled as he sat down at the table and began taking his materials out.

He had hides, spidragoon silk, and many other useful items that he needed to make armor with. But the thing was, he had to slowly learn each one and make things according to memory. It was not going to be an easy task. He took a deep breath and quickly went to work, picking out a few pieces of materials to make a simple pair of gloves.

Outside on the street, Cynthia was confused as to why Alice was being so nice to her now. To suddenly say she wanted to take her out to get clothes was a surprise to her. She walked silently behind Sally and Alice as she watched them chatting away to one another about Vance. She could tell the two girls truly loved him. She too…. She sighed as she followed the girls to a clothing store.

"How can I help young ladies?" The store clerk asked as she walked forward.

"Just find some clothes for this girl here. She will need a week's worth of underwear and daily clothes." Alice replied.

Sally grinned as she whispered to Alice: "Not buying her any nightgowns?"

Alice frowned as she replied back in a low voice. "What's the point when you know she will just get naked when we do."

Sally couldn't argue there, but she could see that Alice, while hesitant about Cynthia, was not going to make the girl get her own room any time soon. Sally smiled, causing Alice to purse her lips and pinch her. Alice did not hate Cynthia. She just wanted Cynthia to know her place! But she had to admit knowing someone was watching her have sex kind of turned her on a bit more than usual.

Cynthia had no idea what was going on in Alice's head as she was forced to try on many pairs of clothes. By the time they were done clothes shopping, the three girls had begun chatting away about what they had planned to do next. "Since the northern woods is only a few hours from here, we can definitely get you a level or two before the end of the day. We might not be as quick as killing as Vance is, but we should be able to boost your level." Sally explained.

"As long as I do not end up dragging you three down, I am alright. I just wanted to be able to do my best as the new tank for the team." Cynthia was not lying when she said this. She really did wish to do her best for the team.

"We kno…." Alice was interrupted when she felt a tug on her shirt. She turned to see a young woman with bright blue hair standing there in a white robe. "Ummm… Excuse me…."

"Yes?" Alice questioned. She did not know what she could do for this priest looking girl. The blue haired girl was quite pretty and had a chest that seemed smaller than her own, so Alice suddenly felt she had met a comrade!

"I am from the Church of the Holy Saint. My name is Miri. I am ummm.. A bit lost…. Can you tell me which way the capital of Findale is?" Miri asked as she looked up at Alice with eyes brimming with tears.

"The capital? Yes umm…. If you follow, the south road out you can take the main road to the capital. But I would suggest getting a ride with a merchant for protection." Alice replied with a smile. Comrades must help each other at all times!

"Ahhh! Thank you! May the saints be with you!" Miri held Alice's hand and smiled brightly. Her beautiful smile bringing a smile to those around her.

"Haha, no problem. Take care." Alice almost had the urge to reach out and rub the priestess's hair.

"Mmm… Have pleasant journeys. May the saintess be with you." Miri replied before walking off. It was just that.

"Wait, why are you heading north!?" Alice yelled out.

"Hmmm? I'm heading south, though!?" Miri replied in confusion.

"And so we brought her back with us. No matter how many times we tried to take her to the south gate and get her a ride, she would get lost, and we had to run all over the city to find her again. Such a beautiful girl can not be left alone!" Alice felt so exhausted!

"I see…." He looked at Miri, unsure of who this woman was, but he could have sworn he had seen her someplace before. "Well, we will not be going to the capital. But since it's late, I guess she can stay the night and stay here….. Or should we get her her own room?"

"No, I think it's best if we just sleep normally tonight. And have her stay with us, or she might just get lost again. This girl takes two steps and disappears."
