Seeing this weapon, I didn’t hesitate and bought it right away.

[Item has been purchased]

Now that I looked at the dagger in my hand, it had a dark black-colored appearance that had a curved shape with several sharp blades on it. It gave off an ominous aura.

“Alright, now all I have to do is wait for tomorrow to make a request regarding the monster disaster in the adventurer guild, it looks like I’ll also ask Uncle Braine to help out.”

‘I only have 3 days left from now,’ I started thinking about my plan. Throwing the dagger in my hand into my inventory, I started to get sleepy.

I now feel tired from the trip plus my body is still a child. I started to close my eyes and sleep.

…..

The next morning, I woke up from my sleep. Moving slowly to the bathroom, washing my face, I started to take a bath in the bathtub. Here water can be obtained using a magic circle that is printed on toiletries such as a faucet. The temperature can be set hot or cold.

Cooking utensils or anything that requires using magic is very ordinary but they are quite expensive for ordinary people. Usually, they only use firewood and bathe in rivers or public baths.

“Hah… I feel alive again,”

I closed my eyes in the bathtub, lying relaxed there. After I finished I got up and rinsed my body with the Shower, took a towel to dry my hair and body after that I tied the towel around my waist.

Out of the bathroom, I suddenly saw Celyne was on the bed, she buried her face in the bed as if sniffing the bed sniff.

I was surprised when I saw this. I remember once that no one was there.

“Celyne what are you doing here?” I said to her with a flabbergasted expression.

“Ah… Lute, m-mother told the maid to wake you up, B-but I asked her to just let me do it.” Celyne got up quickly now she had a blush on her face.

I heard this covered my eyes with one hand. But I started to wonder why she was on top of my bed?

“But what are you doing in bed?”

“That… when I came here, I saw you were taking a shower, so-so I laid down on the bed,” Celyne turned her face away in embarrassment.

‘No, I’m sure I saw her sniffing it!’

Seeing her like this I couldn’t help but sigh and start looking for my clothes.

“Oh yeah Lute, the maid gave me a change of clothes for you to use, here you go,” Celyne got up from the bed and gave me clothes.

These clothes don’t look like mine. These are black trousers with a white shirt and a dark blue suit with a checkered pattern. I’m sure the fabric is expensive.

Seeing this outfit I feel grateful to Celyne’s mother for giving me such nice clothes to wear.

“Okay, Celyne you go out first I want to change clothes, or do you want to see my body?” I said in a playful tone.

Celyne listened to me say this had a face as red as an apple. she immediately left the room. I watched her quickly leave, couldn’t help but laugh.

After changing clothes I went out and met Celyne beside the door. The two of us then walked to the dining room for breakfast.

In the dining room, Braine and Sina were already there. Celyne and I went to a seat and now Celyne was sitting beside me. Braine saw this had a vein in his head.

I remained silent until finally, the maid brought the food. We all started eating the food. After we finished eating I started to talk about something with Braine outside.

“Uncle, I want to ask you something for help?”

“Hmph what do you want help, I hope it’s not about Celyne,” said Braine annoyed.

“Celyne? No, it’s about the monsters rampaging near the village,” I said to Braine.

Braine heard this had a serious expression.

“What are you talking about?”

“You’ve seen it before, haven’t you? The monsters near the village are starting to rampage, I’m afraid it’s a sign of an even bigger disaster,” I told uncle, with a serious look.

Braine heard this also started to frown. He did feel that there was something strange in the forest that made the monsters come out of there. He thought that it was just his feeling but it seemed like he wasn’t the only one who thought that it was strange.

After contemplating some more Braine thought that there was indeed something strange going on in the forest, which would surely bring trouble to the people around him.

“It seems that what you said is true, so what do you need?”

“I want to ask uncle to prepare a large army and make an emergency quest request at the adventurer’s guild,”

“Isn’t this too much? Just what happened in the forest to bring so many troops?” Braine said in disbelief.

“We have to prepare for the worst in case something happens,” I said seriously.

“I think you’re getting weirder kid,” Braine looked at me with a deep gaze.

“Come on uncle what’s weird about me? I’m just a handsome boy,” I said confidently.

“Yeah yeah,” Braine rolled his eyes.

“Oh that’s right, I want to go to the city with Celyne, I want to take a look around the city and maybe buy new equipment for the battle later on,” I said like it was a matter of course.

Braine heard this started holding my shoulder. Suddenly I started to feel an electric current in my body which made me shiver.

“What are you talking about kid, you want to go to the city with Celyne, the city is dangerous for children especially without parents,” Braine said angrily.

“C-calm Uncle haven’t you seen my fighting ability before? I can protect Celyne alone in the city,” I said nervously.

“But still—” Before Braine could even finish speaking, suddenly Celyne came with Sina towards us.

“Honey, isn’t it fine for the kids to go to the city, and it seems you’re also well aware of Lute’s abilities,” Sina said with a smile.

“But-“

“No buts, children are also bored if they are only at home, let them play in the city,”

“Ugh.. well,” Braine looked resigned after that looking at me as if to say ‘just watch out for you later,’

I saw it no longer tried to be afraid, even now I challenged him. ‘Come on, uncle, try it if you can,’

“Hooray, I can go to a city with Lute!!” Celyne looked very happy when she heard that.

Braine heard this felt that something was missing from him but quickly shook his head.

“Lute like you said I’ll have everything ready in two days,” Braine whispered to me.

I heard this just nodded.

After that Braine said goodbye to his wife to go to the city. I also waited for Celyne who was changing clothes to go to the city with me.

Celyne came out shyly, she was currently wearing a white blouse and a black short skirt. She looked beautiful wearing that.

“You look beautiful Celyne, well let’s go,” I held her hand with a smile.

“Um,” Celyne nodded happily.

—-

A bustling street with various kinds of shops and stalls. Celyne and I are currently holding hands walking on the highway full of people. The two of us are chatting and joking together. I stop and look at the candy that the stall is selling there.

“Celyne let’s go buy the candy,” I turned to Celyne with a smile.

“Yeah I want one,” Celyne smiled.

The two of us walked towards the stall and saw a stall selling various kinds of candies. The candies came in various shapes.

“Uncle, we both want candy,” I said to the uncle who was guarding the stall.

“Okay, what shape do you want?” the uncle smiled.

“I want a heart-shaped one, Celyne how about you?”

“Me too,” Celyne said.

“This is it,” the uncle handed us both candy shaped like lollipop hearts.

“This looks good on you guys who look like a couple,”uncle smiled.

“C-couple,” Celyne lowered her head in shame.

‘Good job uncle,’ I gave a thumbs up.

“Of course uncle, we are both lovers,” I said proudly.

Celyne heard me her face was getting redder.

[+2000 Love Points]

“How much is everything, uncle?” I asked the price of the candy.

“4 Copper Coins,”

I took out the Copper Coins in my pocket. By the way, the currency here consists of Copper Coins, Silver Coins, Gold Coins and the highest is Glory Gold Coins. Each 1 Silver Coin is equal to 100 Copper Coins and so on.

The coins I’m currently using are the ones I brought from the village. Actually, I was given a coin by Celyne’s mother, when we were going to the city. But I want to use my own coin for now.

I’m also planning to go to the adventurer’s guild to sell the monster carcasses that I’ve been keeping in my inventory.

“This is it,” I gave 4 Copper Coins.

“Thank you, don’t forget to come back okay!” The uncle said to me with a smile.

I took Celyne’s hand and we both went back to chatting and joking while eating candy.
