It was no issue for Ferris to find himself a decent bed and a roof over his head, given his sowhat familiar knowledge on the outskirts of the inner city.
He booked himself for a single night, washed himself first with the provided anities, and ate his fill at a nearby convenience store.
After returning ho, he paused in a mourning silence for his money before jumping straight to bed.
Ferris didn't plan on sleeping yet, he still had plenty of things to prepare and think about for tomorrow.
First the commission he spotted at the Hero Association, then plead to Prin for a ho to stay at.
He opened his ssaging app and went straight to Prin's contact.
ShiningKnight*_01[Can I stay at your place tomorrow?]
Ferris hurriedly sent the plead for help, but he failed to realize how fast Prin was at seeing his ssages.
Now it looked weird without his further context!
He quickly tapped his fingers using his essence-enhanced reflexes and reaction ti to deliver an explanatory ssage.
[Im holess right now]
. . .
Ferris settled his phone beside him, screen facing the bed.
He looked rather displeased with himself that he sent a ssage that lowered his dignity so much.
Even though I'm familiar with the cellphone, it's still amazing that people can talk with each other so quickly.
Back then, we could only deliver mail using a mass teleporting system, and it was usually in bulk...
A slow communication system was a major drawback indeed, if his world had technologies such as the internet, many countries and people would've been spared by the serpent's spawn which sotis appeared out of nowhere.
Ferris distracted his self-embarrassnt with further thoughts.
The people here take these things for granted, they even use it to 'please' themselves.
. . .
Ferris frowned suddenly.
Technically, I did use it like that as well...
Buzz!
Ferris picked his phone up out of instinct and imdiately saw Prin's quick reply.
XxchaUnicornxX['thumbs up']
Seeing that thumbs up symbol, Ferris couldn't help but feel even more terrible, his plead didn't even warrant a worded response!
He quickly removed himself from the app, and went straight to his gallery to see the previous picture he took of the commission.
[help with exploring abandoned facility within a mountain range, protection is also needed. paynt is negotiable...]
He saw the incomplete text, however he could see the commissioner's na and details listed below and used them to track the right person within the Hero Association's website made for heroes.
Tapping in the details, such as nas and keywords, Ferris saw the exact commission that interested him and tapped it imdiately to see the extra details.
Ferris read the detailed descriptions, but he was unsatisfied with the vagueness. I was hoping to know that this might be the sa facility where Judas and his sister ca from, but might as well start building up my credibility and rit as a hero.
. . .
But if the facility is the sa, I can confirm it imdiately with Judas.
[must have the following for eligible hire]
Mountaineering
Camping
Able to work in a team
Ferris nodded happily, as a knight, these skills were taught to him during his academy days and he had years of real experience!
Expeditions into the world-eating serpent's cocoon took days and even months depending on the depth, and that required a lot of knowledge in survival!
Furthermore, expeditions were all led in groups and he always had a leadership role back then if Yaroch or Alaric wasn't present.
Ferris suddenly paused. It's descending though... but it's the sa thing as ascending a mountain, right?!
[The trip to the destination is free of charge "excluding al and other anities"]
[Exploration of the facility will take 2 days, $500 for each day, another $550 will be provided for extra days]
Ferris tilted his head. It did state that price is negotiable, right? Does that an I can ask for more?
He raised his chin. With my abilities I'm worth a thousand at least!
But a knight must never be greedy.
Ferris reminded himself with a calm nod.
[commissioner: Marie Trenst]
Lucky you, Marie, there's no need for us to haggle... he sighed happily, but a bit saddened by his actions.
Ferris tapped the ssage button and sent her his request. He also listed his general skills and he made no ntion of price negotiation.
Honestly, without citing my real experience as a knight, I'm quite worthless in docunted experience... Ferris realized his shortcomings as he hoped that his experience in the hero exam disaster was enough.
So this ant his lack of price negotiation was his strong suit amongst other heroes.
Ferris closed his phone. Thanks to its advanced design made by Prin, he had no need to charge it overnight and he could sleep soundly despite the cold and noisy atmosphere of City 13.
The next day, Ferris quickly woke himself with a cold splash of water to the face, and only then did he check his phone for notifications.
[ssage from Sol_8]
"Soleil?"
Sol_8['sent an attachnt' Im running!]
Ferris mused to himself. It's so early too. He smiled.
She even has running gear, it's branded as well... Did she use Tailor's money? Ferris felt sorry before he rembered how large her father's mansion and land was.
Ferris coldly tapped his screen.
ShiningKnight*_01[Very good.]
After that he checked on Prin's contact, but that demoralizing thumbs up was still there.
He checked his other contact and saw that Magpie had a ssage for him.
Maggie[Prin has sent to pick you up, I am currently waiting for you outside][see the attachnt below]['Maggie has sent her live location']
He opened the attachnt and saw that Magpie was right in front of the hotel!
Other than the fact that they knew where he was 24/7, Ferris felt a bit ashad.
In that mont, Ferris released his restraints and cleaned up the room before leaving. I can't make Magpie wait again, this is so unbecoming of my knighthood!
Ferris stepped outside and cald himself down in front of the expressionless Magpie who looked careless almost.
"I'm sorry, how long were you waiting for?" he asked.
"4 hours—
"I'm sorry..." he said once again.
In that mont, Ferris almost thought about changing his hero na to, Hero of Prophecy, removing the previous title that seed too righteous for the likes of him.
She didn't drive? She must've taken the bullet train, no wonder she got here super early. He lanted at the thought.
"Where would you like to eat for breakfast?"
. . .
Ferris widened his jaw a little. "E-excuse ?"
Magpie looked at his gaze and took her ti to analyze his reply and create the correct arrangent of words. "Da Prin requested to take you to breakfast."
Ferris pursed his lips. Did she feel bad for after I told her I'm holess?
Prin, you might not be adept at socialization, but you sure are adept at hurting people without words. He just had to lampoon at the mont where his soul was being hurt a little.
"She... requested?"
. . .
Magpie blinked. "Da Prin requested to take you to breakfast."
Yes... I know.
