After five days, they arrived at the dungeon town, and after spending two days getting to know the people and the facilities of the place, Billy and his party took some warriors to do a test run in the dungeon. A group of twelve took turns in fighting the monsters, they had no problems in doing that for a couple of hours, so it seemed that things would be fine. Billy also taught them how to make a map of the dungeon and how to gather the gems. Gerald's old staff would stay behind and deal with the selling of the materials until they clear the dungeon and to know how things work with guilds. Things probably would be fine since his father had done that kind of work before and he knew well how to work with others.
Weirdly enough, few of the town's inhabitants left the place when Gerald left. Only the adventurers went with him… the people from the place weren't that worried about the visitors when some of them played an important role in the last war. After more test runs, they got used to it.
"All right, we got this," Drew said. "You guys can go and do your thing."
"Okay, for how long do you intend to stay here?" Billy asked.
"Until everything is in our hands, it will take a month, so we will see you guys together back at home," Drew said. "Until then, son."
"Until then, Dad," Billy said and then nodded before patting his siblings' heads. "Behave, you two. If you do, I will teach you the Light Spear when we are back at home."
Samara and Samuel nodded, they had already learned the other techniques, but they were having a hard time with Light Spear. It was only natural since they were only nine years old. After that, Billy hugged his mother and grandmother for a while. Anna wasn't much of a hug person, but she didn't refuse them either.
"All right, let's hit the road," Billy said.
"Why?" Alexander asked. "Did you get calluses from walking and now want revenge?"
"... It is nothing," Billy said after a long sigh.
The group traveled for a few days, and every time they stopped to camp, Billy decided to teach them how Combo worked. While only Alexander and Natalie would benefit directly from it, at least for the time being.
"Since you can use two swords, you can overwhelm your opponents even faster by learning this, but you need to watch the limits of your wrist," Billy said while he was teaching Natalie about the tricks of the skill. "Your stamina will be drained pretty fast as well if you aren't careful."
"... Yes," Natalie said after a brief moment of silence.
Now that Billy thought about it, it was weird that Natalie didn't have the dual wield skill. Was she because she was too wild while fighting? Considering her Swift Strike, it wasn't a matter that she wasn't using both weapons at the same time and in a union.
"What is wrong?" Billy asked. "You seem more quiet than usual. Do you want to poop or something?"
"How can you ask that to a girl so easily?" Natalie asked.
"Oh, you were a girl? I didn't notice it," Billy frowned.
Natalie groaned in anger, Billy was just joking around, but it seemed that she didn't like the joke. Natalie was supposed to pass the age where she was supposed to be sensitive about that. Besides, it was clearly a joke since no one could miss her for a man. She had some muscles and steel-like abs, but she also had some crazy large bazoongas.
"I won't say that kind of thing again if you want, but I thought we were closer than that," Billy said.
"It is nothing… just forget about it," Natalie said.
She was hiding something, and Billy could imagine what it was. While she was happy for Lily, Natalie was at that age, and since she was a bit harsh, she didn't have many friends aside from the ones in that group. Marriage proposals probably weren't coming often from the people of her tribe. She could find some easy, she just had to ask Edward or Jean for help… but she probably didn't want to marry a stranger. While thinking about that, Billy suddenly approached her face, and in surprise, Natalie opened her eyes and showed her deep blue iris. She got flustered and red like a tomato before she tried to move away.
"What? Don't get so close!" Natalie said.
"Et tu brute?" Billy asked.
"What?" Natalie asked since she didn't recognize the words.
Billy decided to stop the conversation there… and stop to think for a minute. Did Natalie have feelings for him too, or did the lack of proximity she had with other guys cause that? Billy wondered if he should ask Alexander to do the same thing, but that probably would be more than a little unpleasant for Lily.
A few days later, when that had become forgotten by everyone, Billy did the same and suddenly approached Kate and looked at her in the eye. Her reaction was a bit different… she got red, froze up, and then passed out.
"What did you do, Billy?" Lili frowned.
"Nothing," Billy said and then rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
Billy needed someone else's opinion on the matter… But only kids… he shouldn't treat them like kids since he actually needed their help. He was already regretting even before he did it. Still, he decided to ask Alexander anyway when they were away from the girls gathering wood.
"This may sound strange… but do you think Katen and Natalie like me?" Billy asked.
"... Are you for real?" Alexander asked after he dropped the sticks he had just gathered.
"I see… so I was just imagining things," Billy nodded to himself.
"Of course they like you! You dumbfuck moron!" Alexander threw his arms to the sky and said. "You only noticed that now?"
