And how, my dear, do you intend to remedy such a predicament?

Romantibold.

Look for human villages and a juicy young lad to take home with you.

Show tits. We need to see what we're working with.

A man as in a one-night stand or a man as in a steady relationship?

Define 'Good job', 'good home' and 'good friends'.
What is the world like?
How old is five years?
Are we talking out-of-college, or Christmas Cake?

I survey the fields and look out over the rolling fields surrounding my home. I am a proud and powerful woman, a skilled hunter and ambusher, and I have much knowledge on many, many subjects.

>>53379
Obviously I have very big breasts and that is desirable to all men, so why they haven't taken notice of me yet is a mystery.

>>53382
Oh, I know:

It's a problem most moderate-to-stunning women have, even in human culture: You're seen as so good, no man would even dare take the chance! So you need to go out and choose your own.

Your enormous nose blocks taller people from seeing them.

While I am out hunting in the morning, as is my routine, I think about how hot I am and how desirable I must be. I am hot.
Also I have very long ears and that is also desirable.

It's not unreasonable for someone as smart and independent and hot and smart as me to expect a man would pay her attention.

Allright, listen, just find a human village, and a cute young boy about your age. It'll work out fine.

Why would I want a HUMAN boy?
Do you have any idea how long it takes them to grow up?
If I found a human boy my age he'd be like half my size and still sucking his thumb.

I'm not going to say my life has been TOTALLY without romance but I'm not so desperate I'd date a human boy.
They wouldn't even know what to do in bed.

The world ain't just gonna hand you a man on a silver platter, toots. If you want something, you go right on out and take it! That's the way a real woman courts! Forget hunting animals! Let's go hunt us some MEN.

The males of your race don't understand the allure of an attractive woman such as yourself. You'll have to show them why you're desirable. With force.

>>53388
What about a Gobbo, then?

Come on, it'll be so cute. He'd appreciate you for the person you are. Maybe try a 10 year old one then. He should be the right size.

Prove yourself through great deeds in hunting, battle, and engineering. That will win you the best mates.

Well, there's our Big Boss, who isn't a 'bold. But he is strong and he took power and I'm sure he knows his way around the physical parts of love.
But he is a big pervert and he has wanted me in bed since he became my boss. I can see him leering over my body every day. I'm sure if I went after him he would probably say yes...
But I don't think it would be right.

Willfultree, or Will, certainly has that. He is a bold and determined man... and every time I see him he sets my heart aflutter.
He is a 'bold, but not like me. He is one of the New Breed, draconic, scaled and horned. And yet, that smooth, angled form drives me wild.
He is strong and broad-shouldered and he is strong and he wears a cape.

Then finally there is the Mystery Man whose name I do not know.
He is an intriguing fellow who I sometimes run into on my hunts, and we talk and share a story and we laugh together sometimes, but I can feel he is nervous when he laughs, and his eyes are scared to meet mine.
He is shy, and every good 'bold woman knows to seek out the brave man. But there is still something so intriguing about him.
He has a foreign accent and like his shyness, I find it strangely endearing.

>>53406
Will. Without a doubt.

He's the most challenging, and the most awesome. Raid some dungeons together, kick some ass, establish a town of your own.

>>53407
Mystery Man. At least get to know him better before going for the other two.

Mystery Man because I am intrigued by his anatomy

I agree that the boss should be off-limits. What do Will and the Mystery Man enjoy doing?

Go after the Mystery Man. Will just seems like too much of an obvious choice. And Boss is just too easy.

You should bond with Will by using the spirit of the hunt. It thrills you, does it not? Why shouldn't Will be thrilled by stalking the creatures of the forest with you, waiting for the perfect challenge to relate to one another with.

It will be the perfect date. Invite him on a spree in the wilderness. Let's pack some delicious food too.

go with the perv. He'll do some freaky stuff but you'll enjoy it.

Go with Will, he will produce strong offspring.

Mystery man

He asks me how I'm doing and what's new, if I've heard any interesting stories, how my boss is doing, things like that.

>Honestly tell him your feelings.
But... what are my feelings towards him?
I mean, there is something oddly cute about him but that doesn't mean I'm in love with him, or even that I want to... do things with him.

I don't know.

Big Boss is a powerful man, not a 'bold. He controls more than just us 'bolds, too. I pass a Goblin worker heading to see the boss.

He talks about monsters and that big swirly thing behind him but Boss always uses such big words it's hard to understand him. I know he just invited us here so he could stare at me. But my heart belongs to another!

Let's hope that's really all he wants you here for.

On that note, were any of his big words about what your job is in this process? If not, you should ask him, if it's not a huge breach of protocol.

The big boobied birdy lady comes in and she seems happy. She says her idea worked good.
Big Boss thinks so too. No more mana, everything is easier to deal with. Now the swirly thing just eats dolls whole, and then little monster things come out. I don't understand it. But she thinks it was a good idea.

Finnie had a good idea the other day, too. She made this thing that breaks a tiny piece off Big Boss's crystal ball and then pokes you in the hand. Now I have a little tiny crystal ball in my finger.
That's how I'm talking to you guys.

It was complicated but Finnie always knows how to explain it good.

>>53476
Well that explains the visual distortion!

(oh god, the boobs)

These guys will help you with your work.

Suggest several jobs for them to perform. What repetitive manual labor must you now do? Perhaps tilling the fields? Suggest to the Boss that you can be freed up for more useful pursuits by having one of these guys take over with that. You'll look smart for Will, and give yourself more time to win his heart.

I like micro-managing weird units which are obtained in a vague manner. It makes it feel like it's really magical.

That's what the birdy lady does. She makes things simpler. That's fine by me, I like things simple.
I don't get a chance to talk to the little wobbly guys, because Finnie and the Boss take them off with the birdy lady to do more planning.

Things sort of wind down and now that I've hunted for the day anyway, there's not much to do. I see Willful is still working in his workshop. He doesn't like being bothered while he's working.

The night is sort of winding down.

The Mystery Man has brought lots of good food and some alcohol and we have a nice dinner in the evening light. We talk and we tell stories.
We talk about the world and the cities and we talk about my boss and he asks so many questions, eager to know all about me. He seems a little less nervous these days.
It's too bad I can't tell my Boss about him. But it's just as well, Boss might not like him.

Over dinner I ask him what his name is.
He's called Nino.
That's a nice name~

Tell him your name in turn, if he doesn't know already.

Don't let down your guard. Do you have a ghosting potion? If so, use it after the date to follow him.

He could be a spy. Him telling you his name would be a VERY bad sign then, it could mean he doesn't need his cover anymore and is either planning to kill you or... I dunno.

Or not!

MOTHER FUCKER, STOP DICKING US AROUND AND GIVE US CONTROL OF MUSCHIO!

>>53510
I see the legitimacy of your sentiments, but disagree. Last chapter was essentially a large cutscene, but it was flavorful, and gave us insight into Muschio's father, and thus his upbringing, as well as some ties to Finesse. We wouldn't have got that from Muschio. I'd have called it merely an interlude, but so it goes.
This chapter essentially showed us a handful of small events. None of them were really interesting or dynamic enough to drive a chapter, however, so something else needed to be found to do it. Muschio pursuing his goals would have taken far too much attention away from things of this nature. Thus we used a minor character, and focused on her personal concerns, allowing the less dynamic events which needed to happen to form a backdrop. Distractions, from her point of view, though they reveal things which we needed to see.

tl;dr: lrn2interesting story

>>53514

Well shit. I suppose I'm just an impatient mother fucker.

My apologies. I do see your point. I just hope that the next part in Dive quest sees some action involving a confrontation of the Dealer, and perhaps looking into expanding our domain.
