Chapter 62 - Observing The Hairless Cat Closely!
"Herbs? No, but I can refer you to my Alchemist friend. Well, I will also go there later to deliver one of the Red Hermit Termite\'s eyes, but I can accompany you there now if you want." She suggested.
"Alright, thanks!" Ban nodded his head to express his thanks.
At first, he wanted to let George lead him to an herb shop and see if he could find any Glass Ginger there. He doesn\'t know how much it costs and he only plans on looking around before, but now that he has the coins, he thought that it would be better to buy if he spotted one of the ingredients here.
"Wait for a moment, I\'ll get my Hairless Cat and close the shop first." Joana turns around to get her monster from her room.
But before she could take two steps ahead, Ban suddenly asked another question again. "How about a complete spine of a Hairy Boar and a Boney Porcupines White Spike?"
Joana contemplated for a moment before she answered Ban. "Well, I actually had a complete spine of a Hairy Boar before but I already gave it to Rendal to be made into armor. But I\'ll inquire with him about it and if he still hasn\'t started that armor yet, I might just sell it to you instead."
"As for the Boney Porcupines White Spike, I don\'t have any at the moment, but I do know where you can find them."
"How much for the Hairy Boar\'s complete spine?" Ban inquired. He\'s worried that it would be pricey and his budget might not come close to its price.
"Well, if you could promise that you will only sell to me all of the Beast parts you will acquire in the future, I\'ll just sell it to you the same price I bought it. 20 Gold Coins! And about the location of Boney Porcupine, I\'ll give it to you for free."
A Hairy Boar is a Beast that is at most at the rank of F-Apprentice. They are also just Normal Grade Beasts so they are not that strong and dangerous. However, they are considered to be rare and are even on the brink of extinction.
It was due to the fact that they are easy to hunt, and their meat was also considered to be a delicacy if cooked well. So the Adventurers often hunt them for some easy money.
20 Gold Coins for its spine was actually cheap, considering that an eye of a Red Hermite Termite cost 100 Gold Coins.
Ban thought for a moment and after realizing he would not lose anything on this deal, he immediately decided to accept it.
"Alright, please come back here tomorrow at the same time to check whether Rendal still hasn\'t used the Hairy Boar\'s spine, yet."
Ban nodded his head in affirmation before he went out of the shop. Joana also turned around at this time to take her Summoned Monster, Hairless Cat.
Sometime later, Joana goes out of the shop as well in a different outfit. It\'s no longer as revealing as before but it still could not hide the enormous forbidden fruit hanging on her shoulders. She held Preservation Box in her hand carefully under her enormous chest.
There was also a small pink cat resting at the top of her chest. Judging by its behavior by curling like a ball, one could already tell that the cat was either frightened or nervous. Either way, it\'s not a good sign as monsters like that won\'t be as helpful as they were before.
Ban stared at the Hairless Cat above Joana\'s chest and used the Book of Techniques to obtain information about the Hairless Cat monster and the possible reason for its strange behavior.
Joana saw his eyes and for a moment, she thought that he was staring at her chest. But when she recalled that she placed her Hairless Car there, she just let it be and let Mr. Leon observed it as long as he wanted.
Seeing that, George could only stare at Ban in envy. However, when George recalled his means and strength, he only thought that it was quite normal as girls really do prefer those who can protect them.
Ban only stopped looking at the Hairless Cat after the Almighty Summoner System finished injecting the knowledge into his brain. And after absorbing the knowledge, he could not help but envy how lucky Joana is, for having her Monster- Hairless Cat act strange like that.
When Ban turned his head away from her chest, there was already a pinkish blush surfacing on Joana\'s cheek. Although she knew that the gaze was not directed to her chest, she still could not help but feel shy about it. She could also not point it out to him as it was her fault in the first place for putting her Hairless Cat in that location.
Fortunately, she did not drink alcohol again or else, the blush would become even more visible for everyone to see.
"Le- let\'s go!" She stuttered before walking towards the opposite direction where Ban and George came from before. She also used this opportunity to take the nervous Hairless Cat and move it to a different location, namely- her shoulders.
The same moment she turned around, Eva who was pretending to sleep at Ban\'s shoulder suddenly opened her eyes. She then observes Joana in the distance before closing her eyes again, as if she\'s returning to her deep sleep.
Ban of course did not miss that particular behavior of hers. However, he did not mind it as he didn\'t find anything strange from it. She might just be curious about Joana, after all.
He stored the Twin Baton inside his Dimensional Storage before patting Eva on her small head. Based on her body\'s reaction, Ban could tell that she liked it a lot.
He smiled at Eva before waving his hands in the air to tell George to go first.
They then followed closely behind Joana and sometime later, they finally arrived at her Alchemist friend\'s shop- Carmen\'s Herbs and Medicine Store.
