Chapter 29: Leisurely Morning
The next day, in the early morning.
William, as usual, got up on ti, dressed in casual and light clothes. After confirming with Welf that no one was following, he left through the back door of the mansion and headed towards Gedo Street.
Normally, he would have enjoyed breakfast first, engaged in so light physical activities in the courtyard, learned so martial arts with Welf and others, and exercised his body.
However, since he had arranged to exercise with Nichole this morning, William didn't have breakfast at the mansion. Instead, he brought so ingredients from the kitchen to prepare a al to share with his teammates.
It was quite interesting to think about. Initially, he hadn't planned to join the rcenary group. With the experience from his past life, he had planned to undertake so solo missions directly.
Unexpectedly, he ended up joining Nichole's adventure team directly.
This could be considered as the protagonist's team. Although Elena and Lumbro were not characters he rembered from his past life, Jason Harold was later the leader of the Golden Lion Knights of the Fis Kingdom, a person of high status and influence.
Walking on the streets of the just-awakening Canlight City, many vendors were already busy in their shops, preparing for the day's business.
The aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the air. A crowd had already gathered at the door of a small shop, eating a simple breakfast priced at two copper coins. Although it only consisted of a few pieces of black bread and vegetable soup, it was enough to fill their stomachs and provide energy for the day's toil.
William had also eaten breakfast at these small shops in his past life. Although the taste was not great, it was cheap. If it weren't for the fact that characters would continuously lose health due to high hunger values if they didn't eat, William would have even wanted to save money on als.
Although Nichole had ntioned yesterday that William could directly stay in the villa residence of the adventure team, he hesitated and declined.
After all, he still needed to conduct many magical experints in his own basent laboratory. It was better for him to go ho every day.
However, in the future, if there were things to attend to, he would still stay at Gedo Street. So, William chose a bedroom on the first floor of the villa.
The boys all lived on the first floor, while Nichole and Elena lived on the second floor.
William arrived quickly and opened the door with the key Nichole had given him yesterday. Upon entering the hall, he saw Elena sitting in one corner of the living room, applying sothing to her longbow, presumably doing weapon maintenance.
Jason was sitting at the dining table, eating white bread with jam, while flipping through a thick biography.
It seed that Nichole and the dwarf Lumbro had not yet woken up.
"You're here early, William," Jason greeted as William walked in.
"Have you eaten? I have so bread prepared in advance," Elena looked up at William and said nothing, then continued to maintain her beloved weapon.
"Not yet, but I brought so ingredients to make sothing for myself. Would you like so too?" William was a bit speechless. Jason, you're also a young master of the Duke Harold family. How co you don't feel a bit of a noble's deanor? You're completely different from your appearance at the party.
But then again, William thought, Jason is also a mber of Nichole's adventure team. When completing missions and exploring dungeons outside, there are no conditions for good food and drink. He must be used to it.
"Wouldn't it be too much trouble for you?" Jason looked at the white bread on the plate in front of him, seeming to realize sothing, and asked sowhat embarrassedly.
"No problem, we're all friends now. This is also the reason I can join our team," William winked at Jason, and the two smiled at each other involuntarily.
As Fis Kingdom nobles, the current situation between the two of them would undoubtedly be considered very inappropriate by those who strictly adhere to noble etiquette. But it must be said, the lightness of putting aside one's pride felt really good.
William didn't ask Elena either, and went straight into the kitchen. He took out the ingredients prepared in advance from his storage ring and began to play the lodious symphony of the kitchen.
Soon, William had prepared breakfast for several people. He made chocolate, banana, and strawberry pancakes, along with bacon and egg olets and nut oatal porridge, a delicious and nutritious breakfast freshly served.
William brought the breakfast out and placed it on the table. Jason couldn't wait and sat down imdiately.
"Thanks." Jason didn't even finish his sentence before he picked up a piece of chocolate pancake and started eating.
"Miss Elena, would you like to have so too? I made plenty, and you should like the banana-strawberry flavor pancakes." Elves preferred various fresh fruits over grains. Apart from a few local fruits, fruits like bananas were transported to Canlight City along the Gedo River by rchants using special ans, making them relatively expensive, beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Elena, the elf, rembered the delicious fruit pudding from last night. Without refusing, she got up, sat down at the table, and said, "Thank you," before leisurely enjoying the delicacy.
William watched as Elena's captivating pointed ears twitched slightly, realizing that she also liked this flavor of pancakes.
"Good morning~." At this mont, Nichole yawned and slowly descended the stairs, wearing cute pink pajamas. Perhaps due to her restless sleep last night, her fair and delicate collarbones were exposed without any cover, right in front of William's eyes.
William remained composed and said to Nichole, who hadn't fully woken up yet, "Go wash up quickly. I've prepared breakfast."
Nichole also slled the aroma of food and suddenly snapped out of her half-awake state.
"Ah, it slls so good." Nichole looked at the tempting breakfast on the table, rushed into the washroom, and after a clattering sound, erged dressed neatly and sat down at the table. She began to enjoy the food along with Jason and Elena.
"Where's Lumbro? Should we call him out for breakfast?" William asked.
"No need. If that guy doesn't have anything to do, he likes to drink. If he drinks too much, he'll sleep until noon. Just leave him be," Jason waved his hand dismissively.
"Alright then." William didn't mind either.
After finishing breakfast, Jason took the initiative to clean up the tableware and wash them in the kitchen. He moved skillfully, indicating that he must have done this many tis before.
"I'm so full~" Nichole humd happily, leaning back on the sofa in the living room. Elena couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
"Let's get to work after eating," William patted her shoulder, feeling a bit helpless himself. Didn't you tell to co early? How co it seems like you, the host, have forgotten about it?
"Alright, alright," Nichole said, taking out a white whip from her storage ring and handing it to William.
"This is a whip I bought when I was practicing before. You can use it for now."
William took the whip, feeling its special animal leather material, which was quite tough. It seed to be crafted by a master.
Before William could get familiar with the whip, Nichole dragged him to the backyard of the villa, ready to start today's training.
