Volu 2 Chapter 5 Soy Sauce, Salesgirl, Picking up the Goods
"Master, we are out of that soy sauce seasoning." Silent Water told after dinner while we were watching television together.
"Oh, got it, I'll go and buy so now. Oh right, Silent Water, I forgot to tell you but I've found a way to conceal your spiritual aura, so you can go out in the future."
"Really?" Silent Water's eyes were wide open. Even though in the past she had said that she didnt mind, whenever she saw the beautiful scenery of the mountains, forest and sea, her eyes were always filled with expectation. I knew that she always wanted to experience life outside.
"It's true, it's just that recently Ive been busy with school, so I can only go to the Demon World during the weekends to find Nora Grass."
"Demon World? Nora Grass?" Silent Water squint her eyes, while revealing a worried expression,"Its fine Master, the Demon World is too dangerous. Furthermore, Nora Grass is poisonous to Spirits, so it can't be eaten."
"Poisonous? What's going on?" Nora Grass is poisonous? What is that Freed doing?
"Nora Grass is the most commonly found wild grass in the Demon World. Even though it's common, wood spirits do not dare to consu it. Its poison will cause our spirit power to decrease, and drain our magic power. Hence, that grass is considered a taboo amongst spirits."
"There's such a thing?" That Freed didn't tell about it. Hey, Freed you bastard, what are you trying to do? Why didn't you tell about this?'
Hey, asshole, can you not hear only one side of the story? She's talking about using it as food while I was talking about carrying it. I never said anything about eating. Bastard who only hears one side of the story, can you grow a heart? If you're still worried, go and ask her whether spirits can touch Nora Grass!' Freed got angry
"Silent Water, if it's just touching the Nora Grass, will it cause spirits any harm?" For the sake of Silent Water's safety, it's best that I ask first.
"That shouldn't be a problem. So spirits even use Nora Grass to build houses."
"Is that so that puts at ease. Uh let tell you, you see Nora Grass, if you carry it with you, it will shield your spirit aura."
"No wonder so spirits used it to build their houses, so it was because of this effect? Excuse , where did you get hold of this information?" It seed that Silent Water got excited after hearing this information. It should be because she could finally go and explore the outside world?
"About this I read about it in a book. You know, so people are crazy about spirits that they understand spirits more than spirits understand themselves. That's why it's not strange that they know about Nora Grass's effect."
"So that's how it is" Silent Water nodded her head before knitting her eyebrows, as if she had thought of sothing, I think it's better to just forget about it. The Demon World is too dangerous, I can't let you go."
"Listen, Little Silent, it's true that the Demon World is dangerous, but if it allows you to be able to live like a normal person, then no matter how dangerous it is, I'll still do it. Don't forget, I took care of that superior demon in one shot." Took care of a superior demon in one shot, I can't believe I actually said that For one superior demon, I had already burned my soul once. Then what about ten or a thousand? How many tis can I burn my soul?
A smile appeared from Silent Water, Mn! Master is the best, I believe in Master, but if you want to go, please take along with you. Like this, if there's any danger, we can take it on together."
We're only going to the Demon World to get so grass, it's not like we're going to fight. Besides, I don't want Silent Water to find out that my body harbors sothing that was once the Demon World's administrator - Yalide, We'll talk about that when the ti cos. I'll go out and buy so soy sauce now."
Okay, please be careful out there.
"Thank you, please co again." The clerk said to with a polite smile.
I took the soy sauce and so snacks, and left the shop.
The streets at night were filled with people. Shoppers, vendors, and so girls who were standing by the side of the road who waved at so older n. After so exchange, those n left with the girls. It should be the parents ca and fetched their daughters, right? That was what ca to my mind first, but it seed that one of the girls in front of was being yelled at by so perverted looking baldy?
"Who do you think you are? You want three million? You think you're so kinda angel?"
The young girl hung her head low while being scolded. Her fingers drawing circles. Then, she timidly said with a very lovely voice, My dads sick. I need money, so.."
"I don't care if your family is sick, the most I can give is three hundred thousand." The baldy fiercely said.
"No No This is my first ti Furthermore It's because my father is sick, thats why I" The girl's voice was very sweet. Just hearing her pleads, my heart went out to her.
"A little slut like you dares to bargain with ? So what if it's your first ti?" The brutish baldy that raised his hand looked as if he was going to slap the girl's face.
Pa~~ A loud bang. The young girl raised her head and found that the baldy's hand was caught by a guy, and that uncles face revealed signs of pain.
That's right, that guy was , Lin Xiang.
Even though I had no idea what they were talking about, what I did know was that they werent related. Besides, I didnt want to see a girl getting hit.
"Bullying a girl, do you even consider yourself a man? You're already this old, and you even went so far as to hit a 16 or 17 year old girl, in the middle of the streets no less. Do you have no sha?"
"Little brat, what does that have to do with you? I'm her custor, I do what I want to do." The baldy wanted to pull back his hand but sadly, I couldn't feel anything from that weak strength of his.
Her custor? This girl is a saleswoman? Was it because her father got sick that she ca out working at such a young age? This is really pitiful.
"In that case, you can get lost. I'm her custor now." I swung my arms around, and that baldy nearly fell. After he steadied himself from flailing around, he shouted at , You slly brat, you're her custor? Fine! You virgin of a brat can be her custor, I'm leaving." He pointed towards the girl, You can now go after this brat, little slut! I'll see how much money he can give you for your dad's treatnt." After yelling at the girl, who had her head hung low, the baldy left with a snort.
I gave a disgusted look at the baldy, and counted my lucky stars: I was glad that he left quickly, if he didnt, I really would have to beat him up
I turned around and looked at the girl, who was still keeping her head down, and asked, What are you selling?" Even though I have no interest in her product, from their conversation just now, I understood that her father was sick, so I decided to lend her a helping hand. After all, she was a filial daughter, to work for the sake of her father.
"I'm. I'm not doing sales, but if you're talking about sales, I guess it counts as well?" The girl's head hung low, her supple hair covered her face. I could only see her pure white chin, and her slightly tilted lips.
"Ack. Your answer really got confused. How about this? Whatever you are selling, I'll buy it."
Really? The girl lifted her head. Her skin was like fresh fallen snow. Her face was adorably cute. Below her long lashes, her eyes were bright and electrifying. In addition, her sowhat full lips were rather seductive. The most strikingly were her breasts. I could only describe her as out of this world.
Many people thought that girls who looked like the main heroine in mangas: big chest, small waist, pretty and adorable face, did not exist. In reality, the girl in front of was just like a heroine in manga. Hers seed bigger than Silent Waters and Satsukis, and maybe even bigger than iko senseis?
W-wait! What's wrong with ? Its my first ti eting this girl and I'm checking out her chest? Aren't I too perverted?
Because of my guilty conscience for harboring these thoughts about the girl, I imdiately replied, Really, I'm speaking the truth."
"Bu But it's three million" The girl was a little doubtful of having that much money.
Well.. Its true that its a bit expensive, but it doesnt matter. I dont mind telling you this, I, er, I have no parents. Thats right, I lost my parents for over twenty years (that is, if I added both my mories, and the mories of the other together, it would be over twenty years).
"I'm really sorry about this, but why help ? So it really was because" The girl looked at her chest, looked at , and mumbled to herself, "But there are plenty girls out there who are bigger and are cuter than . Even if I'm a Interdiate Magician, isn't three million a bit too much?"
"Well Even though I don't understand what you're thinking, I just want you to know that since Ive lost my parents, I understand the pain of losing them, and I envy people who still have theirs. So I don't want you to lose your father. That's all."
You you really are a kind person. The girl was very emotional. Clear liquid glistened down from her large and beautiful eyes. The girl was crying. I knew she was very grateful, but whenever I see a girl cry, I get flustered. In a panic, I blurted out, Lets go, lets go. Lets go to the bank. Do you have a bank card?
Mn, mn, mn. I do, I do. Ecstatic, the girl wiped away her tears and began to smile. I was stunned when I saw her previously tear stained face light up in a brilliant smile. This girl. was really pretty. I felt like protecting her.
Want to protect her?' Freed spoke.
Howd you know?
We both know whatever you might be thinking. Do you know why you and I communicate more often than you with Yalide?
Um I don't know.'
Its because we can tell what you are thinking and know that subconsciously, you didnt quite trust that frivolous Yalide. Hahaha.
Damn Freed! What are you laughing at? Also, brat, you really disappointed . You kept cursing today, calling frivolous in your mind. Yours truly had lived for who knows how many millions of years, and have been dead for millennium. How could you even call frivolous?
Now, lets all ignore that crazy black dragon. Let tell you, your disgraceful way of checking her out, and your feeling of wanting to protect her, they all stemd from our love and concern for those who worship us.
What do you an? Those who worship you?
Ah. Sorry! Let give you a simplified explanation. Actually, the girl is blessed by Fortuna, the goddess of fortune. Um this is really a bit hard to explain. Anyway, her I dont really know how to say this. Her situation and ours are similar. We lend you our power while we inhabit your body, but we retain our consciousness. In her case, even though her body possesses the power from Fortuna, Fortunas consciousness is no more. Do you understand what I an? This girl is the embodint of the goddess power itself.
What are you saying? This girl is the embodint of the power itself?
Forget it. I knew you wouldnt understand. My guess is that when she was young, the girl might have had a brush with death, and the goddess of fortune, Fortuna, gave her own power to the girl so that the girl could live on. As a result, Fortunas power and the girl has beco one. In other words, the power beca part of the girl. Understand it now?
Oh. I replied, kind of understood the explanation, kind of not. Following up with a question, I asked, So, that Fortuna, the goddess of fortune, is a god?
Just because soone is called a goddess, does it necessarily make her a god? In that case, just because Sister Feng1 is nad after the phoenix, does it make her as pretty as one?
Thats strange. How do you know about Sister Feng?'
This has to do with my ti wandering through different ti and space. A persons fate can vary depending on the ti and space. Take for example, in this ti and space, you may be a bum, while in a different ti and space, you could be a thriving entrepreneur. All these various futures, all hinge on the choices that you are making right now. That woman who is called Sister Feng, she has left with a very strong impression because she is such a tragic figure. In every ti and space that I have been, her looks well, you know. In addition, rember what I have said, about how ones future hinges on the decisions that one is making right here and right now? Well, that Sister Fengs fate was decided the mont she was born.
Why? It's not like she had to beco Sister Feng Wasnt it because she had made a decision sowhere along the way that had resulted in her becoming Sister Feng?'
Uh. Actually, the decision wasnt made by her, rather her parents since they were the ones who had decided to give birth to her.
. I was lost for words. Fate is indeed a terrifying thing.
Anyway, weve digressed. . . . For the sake of your future, I would recomnd that you not subconsciously stare at a girls chest while speaking with . People will get the wrong idea.
Only after hearing Freeds words did I finally realized that while I was lost in thought talking to Freed, my gaze was on that girls chest the entire ti.
I tried to smooth it over with my most brilliant smile and explained, Ah~~ my bad, I was just thinking of sothing else
Sothing else? The girls voice beca louder. Embarrassed, she then took a look at , and bashfully added, As long as you pay I wont break our deal.
.
Ok. Even though I didnt understand what she ant by that, it seed like I wasnt hated by her. I thought for sure that she would hate since I had been staring at her enormous.
It went through, it went through! Now father can continue his treatnt. Weird? Four million? Did you make a mistake? The girl looked at the screen on the cash machine and was surprised that the balance read four million one thousand.
Huh? Oh! I probably pressed the wrong number by accident. Whats done is done, so dont worry about it. I laughed.
Actually, I had keyed in four million on purpose. My reason was that if her fathers treatnt already cost three million, what were they planning to do with the post-op therapy? I couldnt bear to see this girl trying to make another sale and getting beaten up.
How can this be. The girl seed a bit reluctant. She was brooding over the fact that I had clearly given her more than she had asked for. She was a really good girl.
After several futile attempts to return the money, her big, bright eyes darted about, and as though she finally understood my intention, she gave a bow. At this point, over the collar of her shirt, and by sheer coincidence, I saw a deep valley.
Im really grateful. Youre a really good person. My father should be able to recover now.
Ah, thats fantastic! Oh, thats right, when can I pick up the rchandise? Since it costs three million, I would want to know if the product is any good. Co to think of it, what kind of product could possibly be worth three million? Spirit? When I asked about it earlier, she was too excited to tell the details.
No sooner had I asked about the product than her face turned beet red, and she lowered her head as she bashfully replied, Yes Four million. Even though I have no experience Ill definitely make it worth your while. Her long and slender index fingers twirled around each other.
Even though I didnt know what my rchandise had to do with her having no experience, since she said that it would worth my while, I figured that it should be a terrific product, right?
Really? Then give it to now, I need to go back ho soon.
Then lets go to a hotel nearby
Theres no need to be secretive, you can just give it to here.
Right here? The girls raise her voice several octaves higher.
Thats right? Whats the matter? Is it not possible? Why the heck did she respond so dramatically?
B But There are people around.
I looked around , and indeed, there were quite a lot of people around. From the looks of it, I had really bought sothing so valuable that I could get robbed in the middle of a busy street.
Alley
This would do, co The girls voice was trembling .
Where are we going? Aiyah, stop ssing around! Just give the rchandise now. Ive got to get ho; its getting late. I was surprised to see that the girl looked reluctant as she leaned against the wall.
You Not only do you want to do it outside, you also wanted to initiate it? This For so reason, the girl looked a bit dejected. I dont care anymore. I already got paid, and he isnt like those other n. As she was whispering to herself, she walked towards , her eyes were twinkling with tears. Then, she extended her arms, and reached toward my pants?
Hey, hey, hey! Y You What the heck are you doing? I was stunned by the girls behavior.
What the I was just following what you suggested. to initiate.
Like I said, what are you trying to do? Im only asking you to show the rchandise.
How am I supposed to take it out? You a weirdo? The girl seed a bit angry.
Just take it out like so. As an example, I took my house keys out of my pocket.
But That thing How should I take it out? The girl said, looking dejected.
Huh? Sothing that she couldnt take out and show , what on earth could that possibly be? I was beginning to get curious, Erm, listen, could you tell exactly what you are selling?
