Mooly has now become ranked AR3 due to the wager of the duel while also earning the name "Cute, but deadly." Which I happily proclaimed around the guild. Alright! No grinding is needed then heheh. (evil laugh)
The newcomers were totally afraid of her and our fellow friends at the guild congratulated her and just thought that her winning was just "normal"
We are well-trusted in the city where I sell my inventions, and people knew that I wouldn't lie or do anything bad that may damage my reputation.
We are currently on our way to Jose's shop.
"Mooly, a person we're going to meet is a weirdo, so be careful." [Maria]
"A weirdo? Why do you want to meet him then?!" [Mooly]
"Maria, don't scare her..." [Blake]
"But, it's true!" [Maria]
"Heheh..." [Angelica]
We open the door to his shop. The sounds of the door chime are so nostalgic.
"Oh, missy! And my favorite stude-" [Jose]
"Master... touch my butt and I'll feed you to my dragon after I roast you." [Maria]
Jose emerges from the counter and went to greet us and tried to give Maria a special greeting. She retorted while pointing her staff at him.
"Whoa?! Who's this?" [Jose]
"My little sister." [Angelica]
"A demi-human?" [Jose]
Jose started examining Mooly.
"Due to some circumstances, I came to be her sister." [Angelica]
"Ohhhh! I can now see the resemblance!" [Jose]
Jose looks at Mooly's chest and stares at mine. I really need to kick him in the ass or much better in the nuts.
"I'll take that as a compliment..." [Angelica]
"Come-come little one..." [Jose]
"W-weirdo!" [Mooly]
Jose is trying to get Mooly near him by waving, but Mooly hides behind me.
"Come on, I won't hurt you." [Jose]
"Ughh..." [Mooly]
Jose came near us instead and peaked at the side revealing a creepy face.
"Jose, stop." [Angelica]
"Just a little touch..." [Jose]
"Wahh!" [Mooly]
(Boom! Bam! Bagag!)
"Master?!" [Maria]
Mooly suddenly drew the greatsword from Blake's back and began pummeling Jose, on the ground. One-hit, two-hits, three-hits...
Like in an anime and manga. Jose's body is like a nail getting slowly embedded into the ground with the use of the greatsword's side like a hammer.
Should I help him? Nah, he brought this upon himself... this is also payback for the sexual harassment he gave to Maria and me.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
"Uhh, what happened?" [Jose]
"Don't speak, drink this potion first." [Blake]
Jose holds his head trying to remember what had just happened. Mooly was glaring at him while she hid behind me, clinging onto my skirt with little tears in her eyes. Umu she protec, but she also attac. {1}
"Are there any new crystals?" [Angelica]
"We already delivered them next door." [Jose]
"How about the good or high-quality ones?" [Angelica]
"There is one, here." [Jose]
Jose, hands over a single magic crystal. It is like Blake's which is slightly transparent with a few small rock-like things in between. Jose, says that those small rocks are also part of the magic crystal which hasn't turned transparent yet.
The crystal is quite big and is shaped like a boomerang. I bet that I can get five to six pieces out of it if I brought this to a jeweler.
In order to get them separated, you just need to get them to a jeweler and they'll grind them for you, like normal jewelry. I take another look at it before putting it in my waist bag.
"Again, thank you very much, Jose." [Angelica]
"Pleasure doing business." [Jose]
"I'll be next door then." [Angelica]
"Angelica, I'm going to stay with master." [Maria]
"Alrighty." [Angelica]
I hand over my payment to Jose, then we left Maria with him. As we leave I heard Maria talking to Jose about how to multicast. Great, with that skill she can now be more flexible with her role. I'll also teach her how to imbue magic crystals when I have time so that even if those spells require more energy, she won't have any problems using them. Also, since they are programmed into the crystal, they don't require to be cast, but just to be sure I'll first ask Jose about it.
Blake, returned to the inn to rest. I'm feeling sorry for making him carry the greatsword...
We then enter next door, this is where I sell my stoves.
"Custumir! Cuztomyr! (Customer! Customer!)"
"Just a moment!"
There were two voices as we went inside. One was that of a child who is inside a crib and the other was a female adult that was tending the shelves.
They are one of the people we helped during the orc siege, she was the pregnant wife that I had rescued, but her husband died while protecting her. She has now given birth to a healthy girl who is in the crib.
"Miss Angelica?!"
"There's no need to add miss, Mrs. Helen..." [Angelica]
"N-no, as our benefactor I should." [Helen]
"It's alright, also I'm not used to being called miss..." [Angelica]
"Okay..." [Helen]
I employed Helen to help me sell my inventions, this was because if I tend to the shop I wouldn't be able to go on adventuring... Aside from that; I can't even sell well because the customers either ogle at my chest or always try to sweet-talk me. It's driving me fricking insane...
I rented this house next to Jose, to have my own place where I could sell. I was getting embarrassed because when I first started, I sold the stoves at Jose's shop and it made his cramped and I was also freeloading there so it isn't exactly nice of me...
I also gave this house to Helen, because her home burnt down during the siege, and everything they owned was lost. So we can't practically live here.
"Good thing that you came back, we are running out of stoves." [Helen]
"I can see that you're working hard." [Angelica]
I look around and see that most of the stoves were gone. I had been selling them at a very low price, that even the poor would be able to buy them. From that, I only get meager returns.
From what I've understood. The average pay for the average citizen which is about 70% of the whole population is 150 Silver coins monthly. I sell my stoves at the price of only 40 Silver coins and the price of a low-quality magic crystal is 280-300 Silver coins.
You might ask how we are able to go on like this. What we did was buy and sell, for every seven stoves we sell, we can go and buy another crystal, rinse and repeat. Exclude the rewards from our quests and expenses.
The price of a single stove is about a week's income, for the average low-income adventurer. AR1's typically receives about 40-600 Bronze coins depending on the quest. It can also change if they manage to finish two to three quests per day.
"We are sure to get even busier, once I put out my new inventions." [Angelica]
"You have new ones?" [Helen]
"Hello." [Mooly]
"Boy wun aynd geyt anuthor fwor tee port uf tha pruice! (Buy one and get another for three fourth of the price!)"
"Huh?" [Mooly]
Mooly went to talk to the child, but it answered her in a funny way.
"Sorry about Sadie, she sometimes repeats the words that I say when I sell." [Helen]
"Oh I see, that's very cute!" [Mooly]
The first time I heard Sadie, say something it surprised me too, well if you continuously hear the same phrase over and over you are bound to learn it as a child.
"Thank you, um..." [Helen]
"She's Mooly, my adopted sister." [Angelica]
"Oh, nice to meet you Mooly." [Helen]
"Nice to meet you too!" [Mooly]
They shook hands with one another. Mooly's tail is wagging happily.
"I'll be back later to restock our products." [Angelica]
"Take care." [Helen]
"Bye-bye." [Mooly]
"Tank yoo vwery much, cum aghein! (Thank you very much, come again!)" [Sadie]
Mooly and I got to the inn and we see Blake, sleeping on one of the beds. I counted the beds and there was one missing for Mooly. Blake... you have one job, ONE JOB!
Hahh... well that only means one thing. I can have Mooly all to myself!
"Mooly! You're sleeping with me!" [Angelica]
"U-uh yes!" [Mooly]
