Ignoring the pain of my arms getting crushed I faint from fatigue

I wake up and notice something… off. I can sense that something about the world changed but I can't put my fingeR on it, looking ovEr to the other side of the bedroom where side is I Ask what's on my mind ‘’yo Side, you up? Did you notice something strange happen to the worLd?’’ SIde sITs up and does a stretch Yawn ‘’hmm n-not really? The mana haSn’t cHanged, neIther did the Fluctuations of Temperature So I cant tell’’ oh right, I forgoT sHe can only sEe temperature and mana, how Does she rEad then? neverMind, the change I'm talking about is a much mOre fuNdamental thing, Like something very wrOng, is happening but I cant place my finger on what or weRe, like, how Do I know any of this? Is this all made up and I'm thinking too deep? I push awAy these thoughts and get down to What I need to do todAy, sorting out my inventory after all this time.

I close my eyes and imagine the subspace inside my head, a transparent cube 10x10x10 meters large pacKed with random junk I don’t rEcall puttiNg there, what do I do with this many monster Schlongs anyway? I spend the next few hours sorting out my item box, getting All the food In one corner, weapons and armour in another, monster parts Laying orderly, pLacing everything In neat rowS pleasing even the most Strict neat freak, bUt while I was sorting everything out I kept finding weird things in my item Box, like this pink Jesters hat, pixElated vibrating blob or an ominous fliCkering noTe with whaT I guess tO be utter CHAOS.

What am I supposed to do with a string of letters and numbers? Does that mean something? Anyway, now that I'm done sorting my inventory I un-equip my clothes and have a bath making sure to scrub my body thoroughly and collect all the water that flows off. Finishing up and equipping my gear I set off to explore the city along with side, flinging open the faintly polka-dotted door I drag side along with me to the adventurers guild, along the way to the guild I saw some interesting stalls I would like to eat at and some shops to browse,

Arriving at the adventurers’ guild I notice that it is a little bit fuzzier than I remember yesterday, the kind of fuzzy like not wearing glasses and everything getting blurred together but that might just be my eyes playing tricks on me, I stroll over to the receptionist from before with a wide grin, he has a pained expression but seems ready with the goods anyway since I can hear the jingling of coins behind the counter

‘’HI~ I'm here to collect the money from yesterday~’’ the receptionist sighs and throws the large bag over to me ‘’it was a nightmare to check that mountain of corpses you left us with, all in all, there should be 1,745,323 elfins’’ HOLY SMITE I'M A MILLIONAIRE? Well not really since it’s only one million but still! Inserting the bag in my item box while it was still in the air I count the coins inside netting me: 111 violet, 3 indigo, 2 blue, 2 green, 2 yellow, 4 orange and 3 red, adding that together gets me the exact amount mentioned

Intelligence up Intelligence up

‘’yup~ that’s everything! Thanks for the meal~’’ I glance over at the quest board but nothing catches my eye so I head out instead, making sure side is following behind me this time we exit the sweet-scented guild. Outside I notice a certain cheerful glowing elf floating where he was before, I wave over and he immediately descends in all his blinding glory making everyone around us roll their eyes and hold a hand up shielding from the light in a practised manner. ‘’So are you gonna have that tour now?’’ I nod my head as the elf drags us around the city explaining the various shops and attractions before I can get my bearings, all in all, this tour is very pleasant with that chatterbox elf talking in length of the different places we visit,

‘’ooh! That place sells the best-fried-plant-chicken! I really love the sauce they put in it and the crunchy texture just makes you want more!’’ my stomach grumbles when he mentioned fried chicken, I haven’t had that in a while so why not? I walk into the store manned by a single white-haired old man with a goatee and glasses and state my order, ‘’I’d like to buy a bunch of fried chicken’’ the old man raises an eyebrow

‘’Hmmm? And how much would ‘a bunch’ be?’’ how much is a bunch? I don’t know, a lot? I’ve never really thought about exactly how many a bunch refers to. ‘’Around 30ish?’’ I tilt my head to the side emphasizing my confusion ‘’that would be 65 elfins Lil lass, you sure you have enough?’’ I materialize 2 yellow and 3 orange coins handing them over to the suspiciously close to copy-written old man, is your name colonel sanders by any chance?

‘’Please wait 30 minutes for your chicken to be ready’’ I sit down at a nearby table and spend my time chatting with this overenthusiastic elf, side also joins in from time to time when the topic involves magic but generally stays quiet, geez you have to talk more you introverted piece of cardboard! Granted, the fact she talks at all is praiseworthy but can you be interested in anything other than magic? Time flies and my chicken finally arrives, a rich golden brown with wafts of steam rising forth bringing along with it a tantalizing scent of freshly cooked fried chicken.

Just looking at it makes my stomach rumble not to mention the smell, taking a satisfying crunch out of a drumstick my mouth burns since it’s a bit too hot, but after that I get assaulted by the juiciness and flavor of fried chicken ‘’mmmm dat be some good chicken’’ my ears twitch, tail swishing to and fro as I'm in chicken bliss.

I snap out of chicken heaven as my hand touches an empty plate, huh? Where did the chicken go? Side and the elf stare at me with a complicated face, what? Did something happen? Judging from my round belly and sparkling clean plate, it seems I’ve eaten all the chicken while in that trance. I walk to the Colonel with a serious expression ‘’your chicken is amazing. How much more can I get for this?’’ and toss him a violet coin,

‘’y-y-you can g-get a lot f-for this much m-mam!’’ the old man trembles as he holds the coin like a newborn stashing it somewhere safe before rushing out back to begin cooking again, the two across me still have that stunned look and I heard side mutter something ‘’… not even the bone was saved’’, they eventually snap out of it and inquire me if I'm gonna go eat the next batch to which I reply that I'm going to store it for later.

The shop owner comes back with two plates full of fresh chicken and another batch in the fryer; I'm suddenly hungry again. Reluctantly placing all the chicken in my item box once it’s all done, we head out to the next attraction, in this case, the Grand library, a massive multi-floor structure that spans the entire tree and houses an uncountable amount of books

Aint nobody got time for that
