Chapter 237 81:
Chapter 79: Adventurer Guild Card (VII).
Kein's POV
We could see Avery puffing her chest approaching her potential date. Kazari and I were standing in the corner cheering her on, giving them some privacy and luck in hopes Avery won't be a cliché oblivious hero and blow up the date.
"I can't believe you actually managed to bargain Avery in for a date still Kazari." I nudged her sides, crossing my arms seeing that Avery was a little flustered talking to the adventurer clerk but it seems to be going well. "She's doing well on her own, guess I was worried for nothing."
"You underestimated the girl. I presumed that everything would be alright even if she managed to screw things up. Her passive skill should be helping her right now by getting some favors in for us." (Kazari) tells me and I almost forgot about that.
Avery's skill to charm civilians in places she's saved.
"I'm a little bitter that the two of you have things like a floating window and I wasn't included." I muttered to myself feeling the unfairness when it came to me, the deities that sent me here were definitely a bit biased.
"Oh?"
We stopped to stare at two getting a bit closer, the adventurer clerk bashfully hides her face away before Avery laughs looking much more comfortable now than before.
The hero takes something out of her [Inventory] and- I was surprised to see what she held in her hands.
"Are those flowers?" (Kazari) asks and I nod feeling excited just watching the hero make history in her love life.
Chismosa kasi ako.
Maybe this is the reason why I feel so infatuated with other people's love life?
"S-She's doing it, she's giving the flowers! She's flirting! Why am I feeling so excited? Oh my gosh!" I held my chest, feeling so supportive all of a sudden after Avery and the adventurer clerk parted their ways waving goodbye.
Avery came in running dragging us out of the guild registration room and outside. "Let's go, come on!" she tells us in a hurry that we didn't even have time to interrogate her properly.
Avery pulls both Kazari and my arm with a flustered face. "H-Hey slow down! What did she say?" I asked but I didn't get any reply because the hero was so red- she was as red as a roman tomato.
"Miss Williams did everything go well?" (Kazari) asked next and once we were out of the registration room, the blonde girl could breathe a bit more properly looking at us like she was about to double cry.
Oof... Did everything not go well then?
"Avery-"
"I-It went really well!" (Avery) shouts, happily jumping to hug me and Kazari into a group hug. "It was my first time someone said yes-! You know-! Like! Wow! What is this feeling?!"
"Whoa there! I thought it went horribly, you looked like you were about to cry from rejection." I tell her patting her back but she shakes her head.
"I was just so happy- that I couldn't help but cry." (Avery) lets us go and gave us a wide smile telling us the reason why she was so afraid of asking people out or hearing that someone likes her in general. "No one on my earth said yes to me before. I think it's because of my physical body glow up- I used to be a little thicker but- now I'm very... muscular?"
"I'm glad you're much more confident in yourself now, kiddo." I pat her head next and she takes it with a soft nuzzle.
"Miss Williams does that mean, Lady Kein's guild card would be prepared soon?" (Kazari) asks, the tone of her voice hopeful that the problem was settled.
"Mm, she agreed to do it but shush- lower your voice down that was supposed to be a secret remember? If anyone knows of his she'll get fired and the guild master will have her punished." (Avery) clasps her hands together looking excited on getting a date.
"We can stay at an inn for the night because both of your cards will be done on the next day." (Avery) tells us, and looks like we'll be finding an inn after this.
"We can even visit the local tavern for any tips talking to other adventurers once you become friends with them they give you a thing or two on tips on how to survive the dessert."
"Well, looks like we're on shopping duty now and we can visit the tavern once we get everything we need then we stay at an inn." I tell everyone, our morale is getting better because Kazari won't have weird gazes sticking out on her now after our clothes shopping.
"Yes, we can shop for Kazari's clothes now!" (Avery) was the most excited one out of all of us. "But please make sure you convert your currencies over to the booth. You can exchange your gold and silver coins into Jewels to be used during our time here." (Avery) points at a separate booth while she heads in another direction.
"Where are you going?"
"Ah! You guys go on ahead, didn't we need a healer to join our party?" (Avery) waves her hands with a grin, pointing at the front desk.
"I'll put up a party request for a healer on the request board- since you two are not yet officially members I'll be the one requesting the invite!"
Avery Williams quickly runs away excitedly to find a healer for our party.
It seems that her confidence certainly has gotten a massive boost, you'd think after two years of being the hero she's stopped to flirt to a person or two with her popularity and passive skills to the places she's saved which should be plenty.
Ah...
"Isn't it nice being young?" I muttered to the maid beside me, her posture keeping firm.
It is just so nice seeing young people bloom their love, I'm not that young anymore by mentality. I know I could be quite childish at times but only- when it's with good reason.
My ethnicity from my last life was known to be quite the crackheads.
"Aren't you young as well, Lady Kein?" (Kazari) asks and I bit my tongue for slipping!
After my whole confession with Rose- telling her who I really was and where I came from I started getting soft with secrets.
Avery doesn't help because she's too relaxing to be with, sooner or later we'll be exchanging slangs and film theories or even world information exchange.
"S-Sorry I... err... forgot that I was a young lass myself looking at Avery just made me feel the romance of youth- didn't you feel it?" I ask Kazari who stares at me blankly.
"No, I didn't feel anything."
...
Cough...
"A damn shame then, come on let's go exchange our gold and silver coins for their Jewel currency." I motioned for Kazari to follow my lead as we got into the small booth on the side.
There was already a small line of adventurers lining up to change their coins or magic stones to exchange them into either the Jewel bronze coin or the printed paper.
"Thank you, be safe on your journey now." The lady at the front gave a soft smile, giving a nod pushing the money for the adventurer to take.
The one adventurer bows her head slightly, the girl behind the booth that was in front of us waves her hand, soon it is our turn next and I take a few hundred gold coins to exchange since I don't know how long we will be here and the prices for resources.
Clank!
"I would like to exchange these please." I point at the bag of gold I took from my [Storage Ring]. The lady in front nods quickly, taking a lot of bills in an envelope before giving it to me.
"Thank you for your service, please be safe on your journey." she tells us the same thing and I nod in reply thanking her back. I take the bills, smelling the scent of paper and ink.
"Wow, I can't believe they have paper money here." I lean in closer to grasp the nostalgic scent. Paper money, I haven't seen such a thing in years- "We don't have these back at home."
"Indeed, [Puronia] doesn't have them; they are convenient currencies to have if one is careful not to lose or tear them by accident." (Kazari) walks over and I give her some of the money provided by the royal family to use on our journey.
Paper money has been brought under the influence of the heroes that have been summoned to another world, one has suggested they should try using paper as a form of currency, while other countries didn't approve because of how fragile paper is.
[Sprivanto] was the only country that followed the advice, now they thrive on mass productions and with magic, they have found a way to know which one would be counterfeits.
"Now this fund came from your lovely first princess, use it well we're going to buy your new clothes, armor, and a decent weapon you can use while we travel." I tell her, giving a wink and Kazari smiles looking at the money.
"Her highness... I wonder if she's doing alright in the castle without me... I hope she's not alone inside her room." (Kazari) takes her paper money closer to her chest, I assume she wants to feel any sort of presence with her lover and I understood that feeling.
I placed a hand on her shoulder assuring her.
