Divine Luck: SSS-Rank Battle Maid Harem-Chapter 508 : Customer Satisfaction

Zach heard Visla gulp behind him at Maura's words. He ignored that and thought about what he had that Maura could possibly want. He didn't have much on him, after all. And he doubted that she would want the rags of his clothes.

She might want to take off his rags, but she wouldn't want to keep them. He thought silently for a moment before realizing something.

He had access to all the treasures of a world. It was a small world that had already seen its ruin once, but some of the treasures remained.

Zach held up a finger.

"I'll be right back," he said before disappearing, instantly putting everyone in the cave on alert. His familiars looked around in worry. The Maura warriors grabbed their weapons, and Maura sat up straight, fixing her gaze on the spot from where Zach disappeared. That had happened without any hints.

It was a terrifying ability.

He returned a little while later with a longsword in his hands. The blade was dull grey, and the grip was a strip of black leather wrapped tightly around the hilt. It didn't have a crossguard, and the pommel was a smooth piece of metal. It looked like a boring and almost cheap sword.

It would do the trick in a pinch, but it wasn't something to put on display.

But Ra had said it was one of the better swords in the Fortress. It was to the point where she wondered if it was worth learning how to wield the sword just so she could teach Zach how to use it. But since Zach couldn't learn how to use a sword, she didn't bother. It would be of better use in someone else's hands.

Visla and a few of the warriors were still confused about Zach disappearing and reappearing, but they looked at the sword. They could not understand why he was offering a sword like that to Maura when it looked like it would barely be able to cut through the meat roasting by the campfire.

However, a couple of warriors' eyes lit up. Nom was one of them. Their eyes stung when they looked at the sword's edge for too long. And as if to prove that to the others and demonstrate the sword's sharpness, Zach stuck it right into the cave wall.

It slid right in like a hot knife into a slab of butter. He didn't use force or world essence energy. The sword was just sharp enough to cut through stone like it was cheese.

Zach pulled it out to half the length and struck the hilt so as to snap the blade in half, but it didn't break. It bent slightly before trembling like a spring doorstop in its pocket in the cave wall.

"Mhm, s'a good weapon. Too bad I don't use them," Maura said with a light shrug.

Zach could have countered that she could give it to a subordinate or something. But he was supposed to give her something that she wanted, not something that anyone would want.

With a sigh, Zach nodded and returned to Haven. Since a weapon was no good, what about a necklace that increased the wearer's strength?

"Zacharia, please," Maura said while gesturing at her body, "Does this body look like one that needs trinkets?"

Zach couldn't argue with that. Maura's body was flawless. Based on his short acquaintance with her, he could also guess that she wasn't interested in strength that wasn't her own. A necklace like that was almost like insulting her since it could imply that her strength wasn't enough.

He returned it to Haven. He looked at the pile of goodies that Ra helped him pick out.

He was stumped.

What could he possibly give to Maura that would satisfy her? She probably didn't lack pure material wealth. Treasured items didn't interest her. Clothes…didn't interest her either. Ores and minerals? What was she supposed to do with them?

Food maybe?

Zach shook his head. She had the meat by the campfire, and if that wasn't enough, she would solve it on her own.

He sighed.

Getting devoured by her and getting something from it was better than just getting devoured and receiving nothing in return.

It wasn't like it was a bad deal, either, assuming he could endure long enough to satisfy Maura and assuming she was still interested in that.

However, he was sure Maura's image of him would fall if he did that. Doing that was the easy way out. If he wanted to get as much as possible from Maura, he would have to live up to her expectations and satisfy not just her body but her spirit.

He narrowed his eyes. He looked at Ra.

"Thanks for the help, Ra," he said before returning to the Labyrinth. He knew what to give Maura. It was something better than any physical object. It was better than momentary pleasure.

Zach returned to the cave with a confident smile as he looked at Maura again. She had been about to propose that if he told her about his mysterious teleportation ability, she would tell him what he wanted to know, but looking at his face, she didn't have to.

He had come up with an answer. Maura waited patiently.

"If you tell me what I asked of you, I'll owe you one," Zach said simply.

Could there be anything better to receive as a gift than another's help?

No amount of money, no treasure, and no object could have saved Zach when he first learned to deal with the grief of losing Nora. Only Ra's presence, warmth, and kindness had helped.

He wasn't necessarily offering his warmth and kindness to Maura. But he was offering to fulfill any one of her requests whenever she asked.

"..." Maura looked at him blankly. Visla could feel her spine about to freeze. Yanael and the other familiars were ready to fight the warriors who also looked like they were ready to make sure no one interfered with the Chief when she took what she wanted.
