Elysia was walking in the middle of the city under a gentle snowfall.
The buildings were covered in a new layer of white, and the edges were softened by the accumulated snow. Roofs, ledges, and window sills beca perches for piles of soft snow.
People walking along the sidewalks were bundled up in cozy winter attire. Scarves, hats, and mittens added splashes of color against the pristine snow-white backdrop.
Storefronts adorned with festive lights and decorations, deliver the promise of warmth and coziness.
Morfina walked beside Elysia, holding a white cloud parasol to prevent the snow from falling on them.
Yuuki and Vanessa snuggled in Elysia’s arms comfortably, and Luna lay on Elysia’s shoulders like a scarf. As for Nell and Yae, these little fairies sat comfortably on top of Yuuki and Vanessa.
Yusagi lay in a bunny loaf position above Morfina’s head amidst the flower crown, and Lynn stood on Morfina’s shoulders. They both kept an eye on their surroundings.
Miko took the lead in front, and Jophiel held the sakura parasol to shelter them both from the falling snow.
The six knights also followed them from a certain distance. They no longer wore the knight armor, but the ordinary winter attire.
"Hm?" Elysia stopped her steps and walked backward because the shop she had just passed caught her attention.
It was a rather large convenience store. The thing that caught her attention was a particular billboard regarding superior-grade seeds and special winter deals!
"What’s wrong?" Morfina turned around and stood beside Elysia. Miko and Jophiel also walked back when they noticed Elysia stopped in front of an extensive shop.
The young boy had just co out of the convenience store. He was surprised when he noticed the nearby beauties’ presence. "Holy sh*t."
The more beautiful a woman looked, the more dangerous she was. He was taught by his parent. Thus, he took a step back. However, he didn’t leave, as it was not a sin to appreciate the beauty from a safe distance.
"Holy seeds? Hm, big discounts on superior seeds. How about we shop for a while and see what they have?" Elysia was intrigued. She then waved her hand to invite her people.
"This shop is one of the places with the best goods in this city. The seeds are at a big discount because it’s winter, and only those with greenhouses can still grow plants. However, they sotis have so ultra rare items and top-tier herbs up for auction." Michael explained a little. He also gave a gesture to the flabbergasted boy to leave.
"Mm, alright. Let’s go." Miko agreed to her mother’s invitation.
With that being said, everyone entered the shop and went to shop for a while. Elysia’s main focus was the seeds.
The legendary plants and herbs wouldn’t always co from the legendary seeds. The ordinary seed also held the opportunity to beco the Immortal Tree, similar to how the other living beings could beco Immortal. That would depend on the individual or the person caring for them.
Elysia took one sack of seeds of every type available, such as fruit, vegetable, spice, and herb seeds.
’You bought quite a lot. How nostalgic. I rember the first ti we went to visit a convenience store in another world. However, why do you want to buy extra chili seeds, Ely? You don’t like anything too spicy, right?’ Elena was a little surprised to see Elysia taking another chili seed, even though Elysia had already taken the sa variant, and it was in the pile.
’We will visit Vrelenia soon. Rosie and Rosa like spicy food, so I want to plant so gifts for them. The super nice chili from another world~’ Elysia put her hands together when she saw her shopping trolley piled high. It was enough.
"Please excuse . Do you need forklift assistance, ma’am?" A shop employee offered help respectfully while pointing to the nearby forklift machine.
His eyes were always on the lady’s feet as he didn’t dare to look at this ethereal lady’s srizing eyes for various reasons. Still, he had to show his manner and professionalism. He also felt sorry for that pitiful shopping trolley as it was almost squashed flat due to the large pile of sacks of seeds.
"Mm, thank you, sir. We will buy all of this. Can you help us take it to the cashier? We need to buy a few more things." Elysia patted the pile of sacks on her shopping trolley.
"With pleasure." The shop employee bowed slightly. He then beckoned to his closest co-worker to help him.
"Don’t be missing a single one. There are two hundred and one sacks in all." Michael reminded the employees before handing over the shopping trolley to them.
"Alright, sir." The nearby employee saluted.
The other knights imdiately followed the holy mother and holy priestess. They were honorable knights, but they sohow beca porters to accompany the girls shopping. That didn’t an they were complaining, though.
"What about your shopping? You’ve picked up so interesting things here." Elysia checked Miko’s shopping cart.
This cart was smaller than the trolley, but it was already full and overflowing. Miko and Jophiel only bought a few things.
The culprits were none other than the nearby little fluffy ones, especially Vanessa. The cat food and other snacks took up the most space, and it got piled up high.
"You’re going to get fat sooner or later, Vann." Yuuki jumped into her master’s arms.
"No, that won’t happen. I’ll taste so. The rest is for my feline army. This is a souvenir and reward for their hard work on the Sacred Mountain." Vanessa waved her hand at the tallest pile of cat food.
"Fufu, alright then. But who will pay for that?" Luna swiftly climbed onto her master’s shoulders and lay there.
"Everything is good. I’m actually wealthy." Yae gave an ok hand gesture.
"No, I’ll treat you all. I can pay for it. It’s just a few hundred gold coins at most." Vanessa gave a thumbs up.
"Hmm, how does the money system in this world work?" Elysia glanced at Miko, but they were both clueless.
"Let pay for it." Jophiel took out a bag of gold.
She knew her master and Goddess Master were the divine figures that had already crossed mortal boundaries. Yet, they usually wouldn’t carry mortal currency like Qua or exchangeable substitutes for money like bronze, silver, gold, or the like.
"We use Qua here. However, we can use bronze, silver, gold, and other precious tals, including spirit stones. The exchange rate varies, and it is calculated in grams. However, that doesn’t matter. Please allow our El-Fai rchant Group to cover the costs. We’re super wealthy." Morfina put her hand on her upper chest while looking at her partner, Yae.
"Hum." Yae nodded in agreent. She and Morfina concluded as the ones who would pay for everything.
"No, no. As for the richest, it is obviously our Blue Soul Fox Group. Just swipe this card, and any paynt will be paid in an instant." Luna didn’t want to be left behind. She took out a black card and gave it to her master.
Several people who happened to pass by were taken aback when they witnessed that scene. People would usually throw the group bills at the other friends. Yet, this group of girls were fighting over each other so one of them would pay for everyone.
Rich people live in a different world from them. That was what they thought with a sigh while lanting their lives. If only they had such a rich and nice friend...
"Hehe, thank you. I have accepted your sentint. We haven’t even arrived at the cashier yet. Have you got everything you wanted?" Elysia chuckled softly and covered her mouth gracefully, but she already wore the veil.
"Mm, yeah. I guess that’s all. We’ve circled the entire sections." Miko gently wiped her face with a handkerchief. Shopping was a physical exercise.
Since the shopping was over, everyone went to the cashier. Elysia put a bag of gold coins weighing three kilograms onto the cashier’s table before the cashier had even finished counting all the purchases.
"Ma’am, everything is two thousand and thirty gold coins. We give you an extra discount, and you only need to pay two thousand gold coins." The cashier felt incredibly nervous.
Judging by appearance alone, this group of custors was definitely influential people. They even bought so expensive superior seeds and high-tier herbs in the sa pile as ordinary vegetables...
"This is two kilos of gold." Elysia took out two thousand gold coins, with each piece weighing one gram.
Even though it was the gold coins from another world, she knew this world would accept it as it was still the precious tal that was so valuable here. The most important thing was its weight, regardless of the shape.
The cashier checked the authenticity of the gold coins with a magic item. After ensuring its purity and authenticity, she weighed it. That was precisely two thousand grams.
Thus, the shop employees imdiately wrapped all the purchases in several neat packages.
"Ma’am, are you interested in attending our monthly auction? It will be held tonight. We will be auctioning off several good items and top-tier materials." The cashier gave a receipt and offered an invitation card.
"Thank you. We will look at our schedule and agenda later." Elysia received the invitation card and gave it to Miko.
After that, they left the convenience store. Since Fortuna’s group was almost arriving, they would need to welco them. It was also near noon, and everyone wanted to eat lunch.
Their next destination was a well-known restaurant and several food stalls. But they wrapped up all their orders before going back to the hotel.
’Ely, we are close to your location. Can we teleport now?’ Fortuna inford Elysia about her group’s arrival, requesting permission.
’Alright, permission granted. Please teleport now. We’ll be waiting for you at the hotel for lunch.’ Elysia gave her permission.
