Chapter 78: Horny Jail Progress
Meanwhile, Albert was standing in front of Erica.
"Since you want more space, we are giving you this building. It is our former brothel, but because of the relocation of the red light district, we can't use it anymore. There are a total of thirty rooms inside and the foundation is still solid.
"You might need to renovate it a bit, but I think you can use it immediately. What do you think?"
Albert listened to her words and nodded in agreement. He was satisfied with this kind of building, considering it would take too long if he needed to build everything from scratch. Hence, he didn't reject this offer.
"Yes. This is good." Albert nodded with a serious expression.
"What are you planning to do with this building? Are you going to make it an inn?" Erica asked, trying to get some information about his plan.
"Something like that, but only the chosen people can enter that." Albert shrugged while glancing at her. "But are you sure I can get this building?"
"Of course."
"No additional attachment?"
"Not at all." Erica smiled, trying to assure him that this was their way of showing their goodwill.
Albert thought for a moment and nodded. "In that case, I will gratefully accept this."
"I think I should give you a tour first." Erica smiled.
Albert hesitated a bit but knew that he should agree in this matter, considering they had given this kind of building. The reward far surpassed what the mission was for, so he extended his hand, asking her to walk first.
Erica walked forward as she opened the door, showing a similar layout of the current brothel.
"Well, I'm sure that you already know this, but we have five different rooms on the first floor. The first one will be the manager room." She opened the door for the manager's room, showing it to Albert.
"There's nothing for now, but I think you can use this room as the master bedroom."
"Yeah. I can see that." Albert nodded in agreement. "But we will see."
"Then, let's move on to the next one." She walked to the room next to the manager's room. "This is the waiting room. It has the potential of becoming another master bedroom, but it needs some renovation."
Albert could see some tilted walls and floor that made it hard for him to consider this a bedroom. But if he removed those defects, it would surely become a spacious bedroom.
"We also have a waiting room, the restroom, and the storage. There is nothing special about them." She also showed him the other rooms before moving to the bedrooms upstairs.
It had three floors like the current brothel with fifteen rooms on each floor equipped with a bathroom on each floor.
After a while, Albert was satisfied with the building, knowing that the renovation wouldn't take too long since it only needed a minor fix to match the Horny Jail Blueprint.
"Thank you so much for today." Albert nodded with a smile.
"No, no. Please don't think much about it." She waved her hands with a smile. "There's nothing for me to do during the day, so I'm glad to be of any help."
"Give my thanks to the Succubus Queen too for granting me this house."
"I will certainly pass your message." She paused for a moment. "I know that you will be busy from now on, so I will take my leave first. The certificate of the building is in the Manager Room and this is the key."
After handing the key, Erica walked away, leaving Albert alone with the building.
He took another look at the building before taking out his blueprint. He could see that the wall had some sort of pattern and the room would have no window. He also needed to create a small bar, so the air could circulate inside the room.
"Well, I need to go somewhere to renovate them… Maybe I should ask those carpenters if they have any idea how to do this… or ask for their recommendations." Albert thought for a moment and walked toward the carpentry.
To his surprise, when he raised his concern to the demons inside, they immediately solved his problem without a single cost.
"We will be able to do it if it's only a simple renovation. Although we're here mainly to make decorations and stuff, we can still close the window and make some hole in the door. However, there is this pattern that you want to have, so we need to ask someone to paint for it.
"Hmm, the pattern is not that hard, so I will try to ask for my acquaintance. It will be an additional charge, but I will ask him to lower the price since you have done so much for us." The demon explained.
"Is this alright?" Albert scratched the back of his head.
"Of course. Do you not know the true value of the magic you have created? It will make our lives far easier. We just want to repay this debt. Also, if you can actually cut more trunks for us… I mean, the failed ones, you don't need to pay us anything.
"After all, those trunks are meant to be training trunks without any value. We will try to inspect the building first and see how much wood we need."
Albert was shocked that they were going to do it without any fees. He remembered back on Earth, he would pay so much for just a simple renovation.
'I guess this is indeed another world… Why do these demons look like an angel instead? And kindness will be rewarded.' Albert thought as he couldn't help but smile.
He looked at the demons and said, "Thank you so much. If you have any trouble, just come to me in the future. If I am still in the town, I will try to help you."
"Haha, you're a good guy!" One of them slapped his back to show his happiness before patting his shoulder. "Don't worry. Leave it to us."
Albert then guided one of them to the building as they inspected it.
Then, he got a rough calculation of how many planks needed to fix all these things as they made their way back to the carpentry.
He shared it with the demons and Albert started cutting the trunks again while those demons were watching to learn from him.
After a few hours, Albert walked away from the carpentry.
'The painter shouldn't cost that much money, so I guess Yale's money is enough for now.' Albert thought while walking on the street. 'By the way, what's the use of the symbol in the room, Bonkey?'
[It's the Bonk symbol. With this, the normal material can have the power of Bonk. But this one is limited to Horny Jail. There is more to it, but you will need to explore it first in the future.]
'Is that so? Well, this is what we need, considering those who go to the Horny Jail would be able to escape easily if there's nothing like this. Also, how about the handcuff?'
[You should go to the smithy first.]
'So, I need to make it myself?'
[Yes.]
'I see. Since I have time to spare, I should go there.' Albert agreed with him and immediately headed straight to the smithy to learn a bit from them.
He ended up learning three skills.
Skill: Magic Hammering - 1 Bonk Bites
Effect: The user can transmit the Magic Power into each hit, allowing the force to be spread evenly.
Skill: Reshaping - 1 Bonk Bites
Effect: The user can reshape a metal by strengthening in a certain part, so when the user hammer that metal, it will trace the perfect shape.
Skill: Basic Flaming - 4 Bonk Bites
Effect: The user can control the fire to a certain degree to make the flame heat the metal perfectly.
He was satisfied with the three skills because he had gotten a few benefits from them.
The first one was something he had never expected he would get.
Mission: Learn 10 spells (10/10)
Reward: Magician Job (Adjustable)
[Bonk Magus is acquired.]
Title: Bonk Magus
Effect: Reduce the usage of Bonk Bites for every skill or spell by 10%.
He was happy that the skills he learned from other basic skills counted as spells. Even so, he wanted to focus on the creation of Horny Jail first, so he just brushed it off for later.
He also got a continuation of his mission for the Bonk Cuff. It could restrict both hands and feet, preventing the Horny Prisoner from using their power.
Since he had used so much time in the smithy and the carpentry, he decided to go back to the inn to rest.
It was at this time he was surprised by Yale's appearance.
While he was lying down on the bed, Yale suddenly opened the door.
"Yale, you're back." Albert smiled, knowing that they could operate like usual again. However, silence filled the room when he saw Yale's face.
His eyebrows lowered and pulled closer together. The corner of his mouth was drawn downwards.
"What happened to you?" Albert panicked as he checked whether Yale was injured or not.
"I…" His tone was heavy. After a momentary silence, he finally told Albert what had happened.
Albert was surprised by his story. He even wondered whether Yale wanted to stop being his student because of all this.
He was confused about his feelings.
'Ah, right. Although he is only ten years old, he's more mature than his peers. So, this feels like he has hit puberty.' Albert thought, assessing Yale's condition.
He couldn't help but pat his head. "You know what, there's nothing wrong with having a feeling like that. You are the only one who can choose what you want to do. If you want to leave me and pursue her, I won't stop you.
"If you want to follow me, then you're free to do that." Albert smiled while asking, 'Bonkey, have a solution?'
Mission: Teach one disciple or subordinate a Tier 6 Spell for graduation
Reward: License to be Horny
'…' Albert was speechless when he saw the reward. He tried to remember what kind of item it was back on Earth.
He remembered it was a pink card with "License to be horny" written on it. People often used it when they wanted to avoid Bonk.
'There's something like that too?' Albert furrowed his eyebrows.
[When you reach that level, you should know that Bonk takes priority. That's why your subordinate or disciple won't abuse this license. They will do everything properly.]
'Now that I think about it, with this kind of pace, I think Yale can do it in a year or two. And he should know more about Bonk…' Albert fell silent for a moment and knew what he needed to do.
"Can you give me some time, Teacher? I want to sort my thoughts out a little bit. On the one hand, I don't want to stop following you as I truly want to travel around the world. On the other hand, I feel like I have owed her something."
Yale was supposed to lose and follow her for their marriage, but the latter chose to completely let him go just so he could be happy. He couldn't confront this feeling at all.
Knowing that, Albert smiled. "Let me give you one piece of advice. There is always a third option."
"Third option?"
"Yes. I will teach you until you graduate. At that time, you're free to do anything. You can continue following me, stay in one place to accept more Bonk Officers, or be together with your partner. You can even ask her to follow you so we can travel together."
Yale shook his head. "But the condition is that she can't meet me anymore!"
"No, no! The condition is she won't bother you anymore, not you bothering her." Albert smirked.
"Eh?" Yale widened his eyes in shock.
"If you're the one who does it, isn't it okay? After all, you are free to do whatever you want. That's why you need to work hard for your graduation."
"Teacher…" Yale never expected that the solution would be that easy.
"Haha, I might be weaker than you, but I am still your teacher." He patted Yale's head and said, "It's alright for you to rely on me, Yale."
