The place wasn't exactly a mess but it did have a layer of dust on the floor. By the time Amon and Mike were done cleaning the whole place, Nyx was back to her normal self.
She didn't show any sort of anxiety or abnormality as she stood up and looked around. It looked exactly the same as when she first found this place. It was an underground bunker that originally had two humans skeletons who were assumed to have died from hunger.
While the bones were disposed of, the small bunker wasn't exactly a great place for the huge group to move into. This place had thicker walls that were made of steel.
It had one medium sized bedroom with one king sized bed, a kitchen without any appliances, a bathroom with an attached toilet and lastly, a huge store room that was connected to the kitchen.
Nyx looked at the bed that was destroyed. Most of it had turned into frass thanks to termites.
'Well, we'll be sleeping on the floor anyways. A bed would be nice but it's unnecessary.' she thought before she walked to the kitchen, ignoring the bathroom that was right beside the bedroom.
As she walked in, she saw Amon tinkering with a box. It was one of the appliances that did not work so they couldn't sell it last time. Beside him stood Mike who seemed pretty mesmerized by Amon.
Amon shook his head and sighed, "There's no electricity here…"
When he looked up, he saw Mike standing in a daze. Their eyes met and the guy finally seemed to come back to reality. Before he could say a word, Mike opened his eyes wide in surprise as he looked behind Amon.
"Nyx! You finally look better!" he said happily and when Amon looked away from him, he felt like he was finally safe.
Nyx nodded, unable to stop herself from smiling, "Yes. I wanted to help but it looks like everything's done."
Originally, she just felt comfortable around these two and considered them valuable colleagues. But after seeing that they didn't even think of taking advantage of her in her weakest, she couldn't help but feel a sense of attachment.
"Yeah…. I expected that we might need atleast four to six hours to clean everything up but Amon is way too good." Mike said as he revealed a wry smile.
"Go and toss the bed out, lazy dog." Amon growled as he kicked Mike's ass. This guy had barely done anything to help. The only thing he was useful for, was walking over the clean area with his dirty feet.
Mike gave out a salute and was about to walk out when he saw Amon take out a bunch of silvery threads. It took him a moment but when he saw the diamond like patterns, he couldn't help but look at the man he knew for so long.
'Is he… like me?' 'Mike' thought as he subconsciously touched his belt's buckle.
He couldn't stop himself from imagining a female version of Amon and revealed a sour expression.
[Ding! You have received 1 Mind Point!]
Amon was a little surprised but he didn't bother thinking about the reasons. The girl in front of him seemed to not know what he was holding but Mike clearly did. The mixed emotions were clear on his face.
Having made a guess, he looked at Nyx, "Here. Consider it a… token of thanks. For trusting us."
"What am I supposed to do with a bunch of thread?" the girl asked, frowning slightly.
Amon didn't say a word. He raised his hand and let the piece of art hang from his hands. Nyx still didn't seem to know as she tilted her head slightly while her cat-like ears twitched.
Her confusion only lasted for a second before her entire face turned red.
[Ding! You have received 1 Mind Point!]
"I made it myself."
[Ding! You have received 1 Mind Point!]
[Ding! You have received 1 Mind Point!]
"And I think it will suit you perfectly."
[Ding! You have received 1 Mind Point!]
[Ding! You have received 1 Mind Point!]
Amon basked in the downpour of Mind points. He could tell that he was getting addicted to it.
Suppressing the smile that threatened to appear on his face, he glanced at Mike before going back to Nyx, "I guess I'll just sell it then… how much would FFF rank stockings and gloves cost? I have one set of each. The gloves are finger less by the way."
Nyx saw him take out a pair of gloves too and couldn't help but wonder, 'Are those my size too?'
[Ding! You have received 1 Mind Point!]
[Ding! You have received 1 Mind Point!]
Amon saw another two messages and felt a great sense of satisfaction.
"Wait!" she exclaimed after a moment, "They're actually ranked?!"
"Yeah…" Amon said as he gave her access to the status of the item. As a creator, he had such privileges.
Both Nyx and Mike saw that it wasn't a lie. The gloves and stockings really were ranked and they also had effects! Items below E rank didn't really have any effects or buffs. They only had durability.
[Ding! You have received 3 Mind Point!]
[Ding! You have received 4 Mind Point!]
Amon didn't know why one of them felt an extra emotion but he didn't care. He happily accepted the bonus.
"Nyx doesn't seem to like it, Amon. Let me have it instead." Mike said with a hungry look on his face. This was the first time Amon had seen this guy lose his sense of calm.
Before he could reply, the stockings and gloves switched hands. Nyx immediately kicked her shoes away along with her socks and under the gazes of Amon and Mike, pulled down her joggers only to stop midway.
"Look away, Perverts! Do you want me to spell it for you?"
Amon felt a little disappointed as he turned around along with Mike who seemed pretty annoyed.
A few moments later, Amon heard a disappointed sigh from his back.
"The effects seem to only activate when the stockings are visible… and I don't wish to fight monsters wearing just panties and stockings."
