Argo the info broker

(Y/N) POV

MindSwords is a common name among guild talk. Our Guild is among some of the powerhouses of the assault team even though we only have 8 members. We easily hold our own during boss raids and often are the turning point of the battle. The point is we have a lot of unique fighters.

First off, we have me. My skills are one of a kind and very powerful at that. Then we have Liz, who is super strong. Qweep has some interesting dagger skills. The rest don't have anything special but they aren't pushovers

Jam and Punisher were running our cake stall as normal. Jam was ordering around the grunts as Punisher is trying to keep Jam's temper under control. Jam gets stressed out when it comes to the cake business. The NPCs who work with us are hard to deal with.

I was strolling toward the cake shop to see a giant line being held up by a smaller person in a cloak. The person seemed to be arguing with Jam. Jam looked stressed beyond belief, between the stressful cake shop and the assault team, she has a lot on her plate. I walk up to the person to interfere with what was happening.

"Come on, tell me, I'll pay you a pretty penny, I'm not leaving until I know," the person in the clock says

"I've told you for the last 30 minutes I'm not telling you," Jam responds

"What's going on here," I ask

"This little girl wants to know our secret to make a cake," Jam tells me.

"I told her already, I'll give her 10 million col for the info," the cloaked girl says

"Jesus, 10 mil," I ask Jam

"Yea, 10 mil," she says

"Why not, I mean it's not like we need the money coming from this," I tell her

"I know, but it's just something we all did together you know?" She responds

"Yea, could we talk to our guild about our decision," I ask the cloaked girl

"Yea, my names Argo, meet me here at night with your answer," the cloaked girl says walking away

"Wow, she listened to you a lot better than me," Jam says

"Just say what they want, seems to work," I tell her

"Ok I'll finish up here and we can head back to the guild," Jam says

"Where is Punisher," I ask

"He is gathering stuff for cake" She answers

"Ah, I see," I tell say to her

I waited for a few minutes and Jam finally came out

"Ready," I ask

"Yep" she answers

We start to walk back to the guildhall

"You know, you need to take it easy," I tell Jam sincerely

"I know, I've been stressed out way too much lately" She responds

" I say, if we reveal the secret to cakes, the cake shop gets shut down, it's too much for you," I tell her

"Yea, I'll do that" Jam says as we reach the hall

"I'll message everyone to meet us down at the guildhall," I say as I message everyone

We waited for a few minutes for everyone to show up at the table

"So what's up," Punisher asks as he finally gets back from the cake dungeon.

"You want me to tell them or you," I ask Jam

"I can," Jam tells me, "ok so everyone, when I was at the cake stand, someone called Argo approached me and told me she would pay 10 million col for our secret to making cake (U/N) and I decided it would be best for everyone to vote on this matter and if it goes through our Cake stand will close," Jam tells the group

"How can we say no when we are given 10 mil col for a simple location, and besides we all noticed that the cake stand is stressing you out," Punisher says

"I think we all agree" Punisher continues as we all nod our heads

"Ok then, Punisher and (U/N) well come with me to Argo and show her the place of the cake ingredients," Jam says

"Done deal" I say

The three of us start walking to Argo instantly.

"Finally, you won't emit it but your glad that you don't need to deal with the cake stand anymore," Punisher says

"Yea, if I'm being honest I'm glad you were there to help out," Jam says getting a little closer to Punisher

"I couldn't let you deal with it alone and besides I am the cook," Punisher says getting even closer to Jam

In my head, "Imma get outta here"

I slow down my walking pace until Jam and Punisher are 20 meters away. I can see them slowly but surely getting closer until they are hand in hand. Guess I have another couple to tease. We reach Argo.

"So, made your decision have ya," She says

"Indeed we have," I say in the background

"We will give you the info," Jam says

"Ok then, I'll give you 5 mil right now and another 5 after you prove it," Argo says

"So, there's nothing really special about cake in SAO all there is to it is the location of the ingredients. We'll show it to you" Jam says as Argo writes it down

"Hmm, interesting," She says

We teleport to flour 12 and went to the Quest dungeon when we entered Argo was given the same quest pop up as Punisher was.

"Yo, I got a quest," she tells us

"Wait really? when we did it only Punisher got it," Jam says

"Maybe a quest cool down time," I ask

"Maybe," Punisher says

"Hmm this will fetch a high price" Argo mutters

We went and killed some food, we returned to our guild hall and Punisher went and baked a cake with Argo watching the whole time. When he finished we all had a piece and Argo eat sparingly

"You know that once this info is out you will be having cake a lot more often at a cheaper price," I tell Argo

"Still, this amazing you know?" She responds

"So good enough to sell now?," Jam asks

"Yep, here's the rest," Argo says as she gives us the rest of the col

"Sweet," Jam says

"Can't wait to see some of the flavours some people come up with, " Punisher asks

Jam flings herself on the couch, "finally it's over!" She says exhausted

Punisher just looks at her and smiles

"Yea, rest up my little strawberry," He says as Jam fades into sleep
