Legacy of Rhea: Revival.

Chapter 30: Acquaintance not Friend.

And eventually... We arrived at the place where Mashura help build... It's called the Rooks Artisan.

I see... So this is why Mashura told me that we need to go here regarding our Gyzus and Kylus...

Speaking of those two weapon... People are staring at what we're bringing... They sometimes ask about it but we ignore them because it's annoying...

We just enter the Rooks Artisan and then a couple greeted us.. Ah... They're the owner... They're truly are younger than me huh.

"Welcome to Rooks Artisan! What can we help you with?"

Mashura immediately sit down in front of the table and then put her Identification Card.

"Long time no see. How is your business going?"

And... Her cold form appear again... So this is how Mashura interact with other people before she meet me again... Truly serious and calm looking. 

"Ah. Miss Mashura. Long time no see... We've been doing great! Business has gone really well, everyday, someone ordered some hand crafted stuff from us. Plates, Glass, Plant pot, Cases and many more!"

"I see... That's a really good sign then... Alfredo. Come here."

"Okay."

They pay attention to me and then bowed down to me... I sit down next to Mashura and then she said.

"So, they're the people that I talk to you about."

"They're... Certainly younger than both of us..."

They just stay quiet awkwardly... It look like I'm quietly judging them... Well, not really. I don't really judge them other than the fact that they're already daring enough to get MARRIED...

But, I won't be provoked  by that passive heat that they're radiating. I will take it slow so that our relationship doesn't feel rushed...

"W-What can we do for you?"

"Well, I need you to make a Sheath for this, and a Case for this."

I put Kylus and Gyzus on the table... I pull the cloth away and they were mesmerized by the weapon... They try to touch the weapon. Which is something we're fine about... But their will are too weak to continue. So they stopped...

Anyway... I give them the size of both Gyzus and Kylus. So that they can make it to perfection.

"Make it as artistic as you possibly can. Got it?"

"Y-Yes! When will you want to pick it up?"

"What's the average working time of your stuff? We have a lot of time here."

"... Give us three days! We will finish the product to perfection!"

Heee... You guys are definitely determined to finish it huh.... But... That's not enough to convince me.

"Make it TOMORROW."

As soon as I say that... Mashura stare at me in disbelief. They were shock... It like they all look at me like I lost my mind...

"S-Sir... W-We can't finish it tomorrow... A-At least the day after!"

I immediately take out a bag of money from my backpack... It's a third of what I brought. Two Thousand...

I brought Six Thousand Currency with me... And the rest is going to go for my project... Also, I think I will be getting more minerals in here. Just because I can.

"... We will finish it by tomorrow!"

With money on the line, They're willing to do it... I smiled and then stated.

"You don't need to make the Case for mine too great. As long as it has some artistic value. It's enough. Just a normal box, and you decorate it with whatever you want. But for the Sheath though... Do your best on that one."

"Yes sir!"

Mashura just grin slightly. Covering her happiness away from the Rooks... She's definitely happy. But she doesn't want me to get jealous... Good lord she's really caring...

Anyway... We left the Rooks alone and then bring our weapon back with us. Now, we just wonder around the city. Going through all the Minerals Company. Buying every bits and tats of Orichalcum that we could find...

We spend over a thousand for a Kilo of Orichalcum... It bores me to death trying to find it...

"Haaah... We only manage to get that amount huh..."

I can feel that Mashura is a bit pissed off by how little amount Orichalcum we could find... Well, I too, am pretty pissed.

"So... Where are our next destination, Alfredo?"

"The Magic Stone store... I need to search for Wind Stone. And possibly other stone as well. Since I do want to try out other stuff from my notes... I have a lot of great ideas but little resources..."

"... I understand that feeling though..."

Mashura lean on me and then we chill down before continuing our shopping sprees.... We arrived at the Magic Stone store and we enter... Immediately, colorful stone just catch my attention...

And it seems like I get what I'm looking for... A green stone immediately catch my eyes and it's the Wind Magic Stone... Something that will elevate Mashura ability further. Her Infinity will benefits greatly. No matter how much I need to say it... It will benefited from it... GREATLY.

I approach the front table and then when I turn to the side... I see two ladies... One with Blue Hair and One with Yellow hair... Immediately, I turn my vision away from them and cover my head...

Shit... Why are they here!!! s**t!!! I should've known it!!!

Mashura notices my weird action. She take a look at the two ladies and ignore them... She just pull me to the very front table. Away from them and then the worker greeted us.

"Greetings. Welcome to the Seven Colored Magic Stone Stores! What can we do for you? What magic stone are catching your eyes?"

I don't want to talk. If those two ladies hear my voice... I would be dead!!! Well... Not literally... But quite actually...

They're... My former friends... Well... Not former... We're still friends... But we're long split up... We're on a party once...

At that time, I'm working as a Professional Treasure Hunter. While they're guarding our client... Of course, they have no idea about trap whatsoever...

So I always safe their lives by giving them buffs and warning them...

But at the end of the job... They brought me to a bar and we eat... They drink quite a lot. But I didn't really care...

They ask me to join their party and I politely declined because I told them I'm about to go to another job... And that's to search for Ruins...

Ah shit... They're going to tease me silly in front of Mashura... And it won't be nice!!!

We bought quite a bit of magic stone... Fortunately, we're safe from their detection... We manage to slip up back to the Rhea Absolut and then I can calm myself down and then count all my spending and the resources we have...
