Whoosh!
Max appeared by her side and supported her. Her face was completely pale. Max asked in a concerned voice "Are you alright?"
Belén smiled sweetly at him and gently shook her head "I'm fine. I just exhausted all of my mana trying to hold that bull back."
She then took out a healing pill and gave it him "But you aren't fine. Your hand bones are damaged. Quickly eat this pill."
Max looked at her with a surprised look. He didn't expect her to notice his injuries even when she wasn't feeling good. He smiled at her and took the pill from her hands and fed it to her "You also need it."
Belén didn't reject and ate the pill. After that he took out a healing pill from his inventory and ate it.
Right after that, he felt a cool sensation spread throughout his body, healing his injuries and broken bones.
Seeing them being so intimate, Leticia became a bit sad. She was regretting not going to Max after that day. She also suspected that Belén's improvements were thanks to him as she knew that Belén has became his mistress.
Rima noticed this and teasingly asked "Are you feeling jealous?"
Leticia came out of her thoughts hearing her voice and shook her head in panic "N-No."
Rima patted her shoulder "You don't have to lie to yourself. It's normal to be jealous of the woman a man such as him cares for. Moreover, you also did that with him, so it's more reasonable for you to be jealous. Even I'm envious of her. Hehe."
Leticia sighed "There is no use of being jealous anymore when because of my naivety, I've lost him."
Rima didn't understood what she meant neither she asked. She shook her head and said "You can still go back to him you know. I'm sure he'll accept you just like he did with Belén even though she wasn't a virgin. However, you were and you gave your first it to him. So he will definitely accept you. What kind of man wouldn't want a youthful girl like you in there harem hehe~"
Saying this, she walked toward Max and Belén. Leticia stood there, looking at her back in a daze. Her last words sounded like devil's words that tempted her very much.
After arriving beside them, Rima teasingly said "If you are done being so lovey-dovey, how about we take out the beast core and find another place to stay as this place isn't safe anymore and more beast would surely come here after all the commotion we caused."
Max nodded. It was true. He looked at Leticia who was also walking towards them and said "How about you take out the beast core like usual?"
"O-Okay." Leticia nodded and hurriedly walked towards the bull's dead body with her wind dagger in hand.
By the time Leticia took out its beast core, Max's hand had recovered to normal, even though he couldn't exert his full strength for the time being.
He put Haory on his back and stored the half brunt body of the bull in his inventory under the astonished gazes of everyone.
Rima couldn't hold back his curiosity and and asked "Is your spatial bag grade two?"
Max smiled "Yes something like that." Grade two bags had more space inside them compared to grade one spatial bag which most of them had.
'Inventory is quite convenient tool. I won't need to buy any spatial bag like others when I have more things to store. However, how many things I can store in the inventory before it fills up?' Max wondered.
He hadn't asked this question to system yet as there was no need to yet. However, he was almost certain that he could store as many things he wants given how perverted it was.
...
*Roar*
Just as they were about to leave the cave, they heard a mighty Roar that sent shivers down their spine.
"Let's go." Max quickly ran in the other direction followed by Belén and others.
...Evening time...
They hadn't found a safe place like the cave until now.
"Do we have to live in the open now?" Leticia complained in frustration.
After thinking for a while, Belén said "How about we live in the trees. I can make make cots using vines and it would be relatively safer than sleeping on the ground."
"Ha! Belén why didn't you say this. I think this is the best idea." Rima agreed instantly and then winked at Belén "I'm glad you're in our team. Don't you think so Max?"
Belén looked at him, awaiting his response "Yeah. Without Belén I'm afraid this outing wouldn't be as enjoyable and safe it is now." Max said while looking into his eyes.
Belén blushed as her heart thumped feeling his gaze on her. She didn't know why this was so. However, ever since they started their relationship, her personality became more shy in front of him.
She always wanted to look her best and perform her best as if she was saying that she wasn't inferior to any other woman.
'Cot on the trees huh? Wouldn't that be difficult for her to sleep with him?' Leticia thought, looking at Belén blushing. However she quickly shook her head 'Why am I thinking like this? Do I really feel jealous of her?'
Hoary, who had woken up now saw them and confusedly asked "Where are we and what happened to that bull?"
"We killed it. However due to all the commotion we caused in that area, we had to leave." Max told her what happened and put her down.
After that, they found trees that were tall but not too tall since flying beasts would easily notice them there.
Belén made five cots. Two were in the 5 meter range of each other while others had at least 10 meters between them.
None of them said anything since they knew about their relationship wasn't any normal now.
However, Rima didn't forget to give Belén a knowing look.
After Max grilled bull's meat and they filled their stomachs with mana rich food, everyone went and lay on their respective cots.
