1025 Words
"Hmmm.... 3 wind stone, 2 electric stone, 2 fire stone and 2 water stone... That cost us one thousand. While all the Orichalcum cost us about the same price...."
"The total of sum we have left is Thirty Four million, Nine Hundred Thousand and whatever left..."
I stare at Mashura in disbelief. I know that we have that amount left. But I need the specific...
Mashura just ignore that and say what ever at the end. To be fair though... Who cares about it. We still have a lot left...
The prototype that I made is sure cheap huh... I can't wait to spend millions in just one finished project...
For example. If I have all the correct tools and minerals. I can go back to Engineas and start working on my completed project...
And truth is, it will cost millions. Because the completed products that I made... Will be made with the strongest ore money could buy...
The Ionite. An ore that is used on Rhea Absolut. The toughness of that ore is top notch...
And if we go back to Rhea and dig underground... We will be able to find something called Rheanite. An ore that is really flexible that can be used in anything.
The main thing that Rheanite produce is just the regenerative ability... So anything will go back to its preferred shape...
Anyway... After finished calculating all of the spending we made... Including the payment for our case and sheath... I put all of the thing beside the table and walk over toward the bed...
I'm still glad that I manage to dodge the storm in the form of two of my former acquaintance.
But even if I manage to get out of that storm... Another storm that is bigger and stronger appear...
"Mashura... What's wrong? You look like you're about to kill me."
I call Mashura up... I think that she is jealous because of me recognizing another girls...
"Hmmm!"
She pouted and turn away from me... You know... As much as it hurts me to see her mad like this... It's really cute still. Because this is the face that she always hide behind the mask of serious knight.
In order to calm her down, I need to explain to her what's going on. I want to give her a big hug. But I can do that after her mood get better... So that both of us can enjoy the hug...
I sit down on my knees on the floor and then started explaining..
"Listen Mashura. Those two girls is my former comrades. Nothing more... They're just bodyguard that a client hire to protect him while we go treasure hunting. There's nothing specials going on with us."
After explaining a bit of that. She started to turn to me... But she still ignores me and turn back around...
I expected that to happen. That's why I stop midway my story...
"Back in the days. They did try to invite me to join their party. But, I politely decline them."
Mashura finally look at me when I tell her that I declined them... Now... She will ask me why am I scared of them...
"If that's the case... Why are you acting strange when you're in front of them? I try to cover you because I know that you will get in trouble if I don't. So tell me... What did they do or you do that make you get scared of them? I need to know... My mood will get better or worsened depending on the answer!"
She made the statement loud and clear. Of course... There's a funny story behind this... It's a bit... Douchey in my part. But it's absolutely justified.
"So, when we finished treasure hunting. We were paid big money. But the client that paid us... Paid those two double what he pays me. And I do all the work! I notify them of traps, save them from traps, and ultimately... Crack all the clues and find all the treasures!
It pisses me off, how big those two were being paid doing nothing but standing right beside him. But, because they think that I'm a really valuable asset. They try to invite me to join the party. Of course, I decline...
But before all of that invitation happens... We're eating food and drinking in a bar.. Now... I can't handle alcohol. But they can. And they cockily order the Dragons Breath Ale. They get drunk instantly.
Of course, I made them pay for all the scams that they did... I bring a waiter around and then ask them if they would pay for all my food. And they say yes..."
Before I could finish the story... Mashura smiled softly while chuckling happily... Good gosh that is cute! Let's finish the story...
"I order a lot of food. And most of them are takeaways so that I can still enjoy the food that they pay for.
In totals. I bought... Four hundreds currency worth of food in takeaways. While they order about the same amount as the bar snacks...
Their money... Get slithered by me I the form of food. And then I slip away like a snake after finishing my prey."
Mashura immediately get better. Her mood lightened and then she hug me tight when I'm sitting on the floor... She push me down and then I hug her back.
"I know I can trust you even if you didn't remember me!"
"Of course. Are you jealous still?"
"No. Not at all! In fact, I enjoy the story you told me... You know... I like funny story that other people has... Because it is interesting to hear..."
... Right... You're a knight... So people took you way too seriously... You've been suffering hard huh without me....
I Pat her head and then she just look at me... She stand back up and then said...
"Let's go to your forgery. I want to see you what you're going to make..."
Of course... Let's go... I took her down to the forge and then prepare all the things I need to make her prototype wind Walker.
