I woke up found Mom still sleeping but her expression sour, so I decided to get out of bed while avoiding to wake her up.
And looked at the other side to.. well, I looked because I found a hand went a stray and was groping but that's another thing.
The moment I tried to stand up and tried to leave the bed the stray hand pulled me back and hugged me tightly.
(It's not like I hate him or anything but I decided to wake him up before his stray hands touches me thinking I'm Mom).
"Umm Dad, can you release me?" I said as I nudged his face.
"Zenny, you look so lovely, today." Said Dad before giving me a disgusting kiss with a lot of saliva.
"Hey, pervert stop this, it is me who you are kissing!" I screamed as I hit Dad's face many hits to wake him up. And the effect were the two woke up immediately.
When both woke up it was my chance to get out of bed and I used it and even used gravity magic to give myself extra push.
**
Do I need to say that I got punished heavily because of many many reasons, the reasons:
1_ for the second time I joked about something even adults shouldn't talk about too openly. (Mom talking about yesterday's joke).
2_ calling Dad a pervert. (Well, it was going to be passed until I called his saliva 'disgusting shit'), and Mom heard the cursing loud and clear.
3_ let's just say even when I escaped Dad's grasp I didn't realise what I was still wearing. Focus on word still, because when I was sleeping Dad's other hand was holding my shorts and underpants included.
And I jumped out of the bed naked below. (It not fair that I'm the one who got punished it was supposed to be Paul who got punished not me).
4_ I may or may not used too loud voice to the point the whole manor heard us and even worse Dad forgot to lock the room before sleeping, so when Mr Laws knocked before opening the door to see why I was screaming.
Let's say the door opened immediately, and he saw me naked from below, Mom still laying in the bed wearing her nightgown and Dad holding my shorts and underpants.
Even the most pure people can get misunderstandings from this view and my scream was heard by him loud and clear.
He closed the door immediately again but he didn't stop the look that said many unsaid words to father and me.
(All what matters to me is now Mr Laws saw my crotch and butt clearly, I feel to ashamed to even look at his face).
5_ didn't I say my loud scream made everyone in the manor hear what I screamed, let's say even if I wasn't too loud they would have heard it anyway, but not because the walls aren't thick enough, but because many of the maids and employees in the Boreas household is beastfolk/beast people and their hearing capability is at least twice as better as Mr Laws.
And Lord Sauros and Lord Phillip for some reason were talking to some maids early in the morning and the maids informed them of everything, which both used the chance to tease Paul and me.
(I didn't have a problem with him being teased until they said something about Dad having Zephyrous Greyrat blood too. Which I didn't understand, so I asked for them to explain what does this mean?
The answer is like Notos like well endowed women, the Boreas like ((he pulled the maid and petted her head and when he realised I didn't understand he said it)) they like beast people, the Euros like the other hole and the Zephyrous like the young boys especially with feminine face).
Mom heard the part where they talked about the fetishes only didn't hear the reason for them making me want to dig my grave myself.
That's just add points for Mom wanting to punish me.
6_ and best for last, while I was grumbling about the saliva dripping out from my cheek, part of my mouth, a whole side of my nose, parts from my ear and hair.
I may have dugged my grave by saying some unnecessary words.
"That bisexual bastard, isn't it enough he is disturbing my sleep in normal circumstances, no, the only day I slept hugging him and Mom my punishment was this disgusting shit in form of a kiss." Yes I grumbled this words while clearing the saliva out of my face.
When I realised what I said, I escaped the room as I'm, BTW I didn't realise yet, I'm naked below.
I wish for time travelling now than ever, because all the people mentioned above had seen me in this state.
I feel like crying, this is pure child abuse.
As for Mom's punishment she gave me my first naked spanking, and it was 1000 time worse than the normal. Both mentally and physically. (The worst part Mom said the real punishment will be when we return home).
And now I'm crying silently in the corner of somewhere in the manor, I don't know where I'm, I kept running and found place full of hay I jumped in and started crying.
After sometime passed, I decided to follow the advice of the fake power, I said I have... forget about this I will just stop crying and fix my problems by fighting it. (Of course I won't fight Mom, that's a losing fight. I meant I will fix my bad habit of mine of swearing and cursing).
But for now I should return to training.
And with that I asked maids around where both somewhere I can train in and where I can find wooden sword. And with that I started to train.
And they lead me to inner field where they train guards, apprentice knights and apprentice Reeves before they reach level where they can train in the main training fround.
There I find many wooden swords with different sizes and picked one made as short sword replica. (First time have a sword that's adequate for my size other than the gladius I looted from the bandits).
"(After 15 minutes.)"
I stopped training because I was called for breakfast. (In the manor and unlike in our home there's a predetermined time for breakfast, lunch and dinner, missing any meaning missing food).
That was a joke, the truth it's a noble custom that guests should eat with the family, and as for servants, guards, maids and employees eat together after we finish eating. (In other words, me, Mom and Dad will share the table with Boreas while Mr Laws and Mr Smith will eat with the employees).
So because of this customs I must follow this rules and accordingly the lower the rank the first to sit and wait for them. (To say it simply, it's not looked kindly when you sit after someone with higher rank than you and made them wait for you, Lilia made a crash course for me on how things work in here).
First thing I did was wearing my overcoat again, because I removed it before training.
And with help of a black cat called Mittens I reached the dinner table.
(Okay I should stop joking, the black cat is actually a real person and she really called Mittens, but she is a beast person from one of the rare races that have black cat characteristics.
She was kind and curious about me, but it wasn't funny when she teased me on both what happened before dawn and when I was crying in stables.
She talked a lot like.
"It is the first time Young Master Phillip wake up early, without him making a trouble."
"You know Young Mistress Eris would laugh, if she know someone was crying in her favourite place."
"You train a lot using swords like Master Sauros, even though his knee sometimes hurt him, but he didn't really stop training."
"You know your face resembles Master Sauros, but you resembles the drawing of his sister in his room more."
"Really, you are his grand-nephew, but I didn't know about you?"
"What! You are saying you are the grandson of his favourite sister? Now you say it, you perfectly resembles her."
That was the humiliation I endured while walking with her. (I discovered many new things by answering by: yup , good to know , thanks , I'm his grand-nephew , I'm son of Paul and his mother was Valentina I believe , I will take this as a compliment, thanks.
I may have ignored most of her conversation but she wasn't the kind to be effected by doing that).
To say it simply she is a kind girl, but she has a running tongue and she couldn't hide her love to the Boreas family she serves them devoutly, her only bad point that if she become too talkative with someone she mustn't.
Like how she talked with me, I felt if the trip was for another 15 minutes, I would've discovered the whole secrets of the manor. (And for some reason my eyes were moving with her for some reason, I think I shoud visit an ophthalmologist or maybe neurologist because for some reason I'm wasn't in control of my eyes, crap I'm repeating words in my heads, because my eyes are keeping up with her ears and tail ignoring my orders to stay still).
After finding none had yet to reach, so I followed the etiquette on where to sit and choose the farthest chair to the head chair but didn't sit in the opposite one. (Okay to simply explain what's the rules about sitting:
The head chair or the single chair at the left side of the table.
Next to it from the two sides is usually the wife from his left and the heir in his right.
But in our situation will be Lord Phillip and his daughter. And Philip's wife will be next to her husband. ((Lord Sarous wife is dead, for sometime now so they don't follow this, instead Phillip sits on his right as he is his right-hand man and on his left sits his granddaughter his favourite, in place of his late wife)).
The table they use is long capable of containing more than 10 person, so I don't think I would make a problem by sitting here and if he wants Dad to sit on the head guest's chair then this will also work perfectly.
To say it simply, the right most chair, the same as the head chair, but in the opposite side is the reserved only for the most esteemed guest.
Before finishing, I just to want to say it again 'I hate nobility customs').
After 3 minutes Mom was second to reach and was surprised by how I was sitting in the right place and she decided to sit the opposite chair to me.
Mom took the the chair on the guest's chair is left and I took the one on his right.
(Which was the right pick chair if Dad takes the esteemed guest chair).
When Dad come here however he found himself in a badspot he cannot take the chair by himself. (Well, he can take it, because both he is the head of our family and the fact he is the only one of us that have a rank.
But because of Paul's reputation and slow mind standing on his way of choice he couldn't sit there, even though according to Ms Lilia if he sat next to Mom from the other side, also it was going to be the right choice).
So he thought for a moment and had the perfect solution he carried me and put me on Mom's lap and he sat opposite to her.
(Of course I had cursed him from inside, calling him a pervert and many others, especially at first when I thought he would let me sit on his lap instead of Mom's).
After 2 minutes was a young lady with a long red hair who when saw Dad clicked her tongue. And for some reason Mom gave Dad a kick from below the table.
I ignored all of them and was about to drink from the drink served in front of me.
"You really are the son of Paul, you know a good wine by seeing it." Said Lord Phillip suddenly while passing from behind us.
"Pfffft!" Needless to say I spat out all drink from my mouth, Mom is going to kill me this time.
"Mom, please, I didn't know, please don't punish me." I said meekly with pleading eyes to Mom, who for some reason didn't have her usual blood lust, that usually being released when I make mistakes, the same blood lust that shakes the whole area.
"In home, Rudi, we will talk at home." Mom said with very calm attitude that it gave me a shiver. (I feel like someone said 死ぬ to me).
When I gave a quick glance to Dad for help he offered me his Condolences.
And I didn't have any reaction even when the maids were cleaning me and Mom from the liquor on us. I feel my face froze and I can no longer master any expression.
Before long, the double door leading to the main hall was opened by a bang. (I'm not sure if the door survived the bang but it's not my business to even comment).
And a huge man carrying a young girl slightly older than me on his shoulder entered the room and put the girl on the chair next to the head before sitting.
But when he saw how me and Mom sitting, he stood up and walked next to us.
"DON'T TELL ME YOU ARE STILL CAN'T EAT ON YOUR OWN?" Said the gorilla.
"I can, but I prefer to sit like this your lordship and these chairs aren't really made for a toddler to sit on." I explained calmly.
"Thomas, bring some cushions and put them on that chair." Pointed the old nobleman at the main guest's chair.
And not 2 minutes have passed and the chair transformed into toddler's chair.
And before I can say anything I found myself lifted and put at the chair without taking my consent. (Not that I can refuse him in the first place).
"May I ask a question?" I asked meekly.
"Sure, Rudeus." Said the nobleman calmly.
"Shouldn't he be the one in my place because to my knowledge he.." I was pointing at my father because to my he should be in my place.
(I was going to say 'he is the one with higher status' at first, but remembered Dad isn't the noble kind so thought about asking if he should be respected because he is my father and so but remembered that Paul not even his own horse respects him).
"Can you tell me what he did to be hated like this?" I asked in and his answer was a growl before returning to his seat.
"Do you really want to know?" Asked the younger nobleman teasingly. "No, thanks." I answered immediately. (So the reason this women clicked her tongue must be because he touched one of her family if not she herself).
"Listen well, Rudeus, if you dared to be like him or your uncle I will gave you a reason to be afraid of me." Said the older nobleman threateningly.
"Yessir!" I answered immediately.
And he sat on his seat. (BTW the two times he was sitting on his seat the chair creaked loudly and it looked liked it was screaming because he was slamming himself on the poor chair).
After having the strangest breakfast on my life, (not because the food, if anything I like fancy food and my etiquette was on slightly lower grade than Mom other than that we made Dad look like shit), it was strange breakfast because I felt all the eyes were on me.
The butler was looking at me curiously because why Lord Sauros was treating me differently.
The same can be said about the young girl and her face showed some jealousy.
The young woman throw glance from time to time and glares at Dad too.
As for Phillip he was holding back his best not to tease Dad about how my etiquette is 1000% time better than his. (That's if Dad way of eating does count as etiquette in the first place).
Dad tried his best not to look too bad in front of us, but all of his attempts ended with failures.
First he tried to copy Mom and her etiquette which ended by a miserable failure.
Then he tried to use the fork etiquette, (was a hint from me), also ended in failure lastly he tried use brute force.
The conclusion he cut the steak with the plate under it. (And I'm grateful that he didn't break the table in the way).
That made Phillip mutter. "I would've preferred if you used your hand and munched the food like always." While he was sighing and caressing his temples.
And with that the breakfast ended without any further damage to the Boreas utensils.
After breakfast I returned to our to pick a better gear for training and as usual Mittens was the one to guide me around.
Where she went all out in boasting about the Boreas especially her favourite young lady Eris. Like:
"You seen young lady Eris, isn't she cute?" (Well I thought she was way too noble), ((what I mean she was ordering and treating people like they are a lower grade but the blame for that is her family and the way of how they raised her)).
"She is lovely enough, that she is everyone is favourite." (I take it back probably this loose tongue in form of a black cat is the blame for this).
"You know she is really energetic and play a lot with us." (That's the normal, she is a kid you know?)
"You know yesterday she patted my head and played with my ears too." She was fidgeting while her hands were below her belly. (I feel I heard something I mustn't, especially with her fidgeting like she is aroused by this).
"Also yesterday she beated an Adoldia in a speed race, and she was still have some stamina that she kept playing with Riri afterwards." She was talking with a strange pride and satisfaction.
(Wait a second! She said Adoldia is that the same Adoldia mentioned in both of 'Travelling around the world' and 'The Legend Of Perigruies' if so then she beaten the second strongest race when it comes to speed.
The first place is Dedlodia known for being too fast like felines, and shouldn't the one next to me be more closer in race to the Dedlodia than Adoldia to both, I mean shouldn't she be close to both in speed).
"Oh right, I forgot to say who is Riri she is one of us, she is the one with dog ears." (Oh yes she mentioned some one with that name, but I was too focused about the fact that this little girl is faster than.. well, we can compare the Adoldian speed to hunting dogs).
"But dont forget the difference between Riri's race and Aldlodia is her ear is white, while the Adoldia is grey that's the usual and the half breeds and others usually have more darker shades and different colours the darkest you can.."
"Stop please." I said almost crying my head was banging at me from the inside. (My headache reached inhumane levels and I was saying could stay a month without speaking a single word, but she, I would be surprised if she can stay for a whole hour without saying a word, as much I'm grateful for the useless information and she is keeping me company but she have to shut up, please).
"Is something wrong, Young Master Rudeus, do you need to rest, if so.." and here we go again.
"Please, Ms Mittens anything but that, enough talking, my head is crying." And she stayed silent for the last of trip which was 30 seconds.
"Is the‐"
"A cup of tea would be appreciated." (I feel like my head is rotating around itself).
"As you wish, I will bring it immediately." And she left running towards the manor.
Internal peace, internal peace. (Man, even Egway would have snaped at her, and Shifo would outright killed her).
I enjoyed one minute sitting cross-legged enjoying the peace.
And afterwards I started training.
"(10 minutes later)"
(I really should've killed her).
That's was my thought and I regretted terribly not sending her away.
You are curious what happened right?
Simply she was running while carrying the tea. (I think you can imagine what happened).
Like a cheap written script of a comedy show, the moment she became near me, she tripped on a pebble and the boiling water boiled me alive.
My scream was loud to the point Mom heard it from the other side of the manor where she was having a tea party with the lady of the house, because she was curious how does Mom accepted 'Paul Greyrat' to be her husband. (She didn't say that but it was clear from her glances she throwed at Mom during breakfast).
Wait I'm getting off topic, Mom ran at max speed to heal me.
My only request was I want to go home. (This manor is like a bad luck generator to me).
Of course until Mom had reached, Mittens have gotten me naked because she had the great idea of removing all of my drenched clothes without bring anything to cover me with it until.. anyway for the second time in the same day the whole castle called manor saw me naked.
Thankfully the healing magic was more than capable to heal first degree burns.
After Mom looked me with sympathetic looks she decided to take me to stroll around until before dinner because we have the official meeting after dinner.
After changing to my last set of clothes I escaped the manor with Mom. (Travelling set drenched with water because it was being wahsed, pajamas Dad ripped of the shorts, my original day to day set is drenched in tea water and finally my elegant clothes was the last set I have at the moment, I really hope return with it in one piece).
The moment we reached the Manor's gate I found the Young red-haired girl waiting for us. With crossed arms, raised nose, haughty attitude. She squeaked a demand.
"I demand you to take me with you." (Why, how respectful and shy too).
"Of course, the more the merrier, go tell your parents and we will take you with us." (Nicely done, Mom, you ref... what the hell is wrong with you, Zenith, you really are an air head she literally ordered you to take her with you should refuse her and teach her to ask nicely).
And we waited for 10 minutes for her running back and forth to ask for permissions.
The butler Thomas tried to tell her not to run and catched her arm, the conclusion: she gave him a punch that made him Adrian 2.0 . (I mean after I had thrown the sword at him with the help of gravity magic).
After he fell on the ground he glared at her with a growl but the girl had already left.
(BTW he is the only man with the same identifications I have to the employer of the bandits, tall, huge build, with a huge belly, grey eyes and he has a noble build without being one. My first suspect was Sarous but after seeing his red eyes and the feral ring in his hand he was clear.
Now, what I do is making some sloppy mistakes in front of him to clear myself from being anyone special. ((But the two accidents happened in the morning, helped more than my fake acting, even though I would prefer if both never happened)).
And when my suspicion is clear if he is clear he lives, if it's not I will have to explain why I killed him).
But now I won't have to worry about that.
Now we are waiting for the young girl to get dressed, getting permission and calling her guards to join us then we are ready.
Also her mother decided to come with us and even worse we will move in a carriage. (My stroll got stolen by this womens of the Boreas).
We will be accompanied by three guards:
The personal guard of lady Hilda, Albert Rad. (He has some noble blood on him, he was the fourth son to a Baron family, leaving him no choice but to seek strength to find work and now he works for the Boreas as a mid ranked knight).
Of course he didn't say all of that, he said his name and he is the fourth son of the baronet house of Rad. (the rest is guessed by my knowledge from drama about the medieval age and my Wiki-Lilia).
The second guard is a Reeve serves the house he will stand with us as a second driver and will guard us from out of carriage.
The final one is our former Reeve who lost his leg protecting the village, he is here as a driver and carriage guard.
Also Mittens will come with ladies because to my surprise she is the head maid. (You want to convince me, the clumsy idiot who followed me in the whole manor and give me a headache and because of her I drank more than 3 cups of tea to just to lower my unbearable headache into a mild one, is the head maid, someone please, give me a reason why is she the head maid?)
Now me, Mom, Mr Albert and Mittens sitting on the table to drink tea. (It's more of me and Mom sitting while Mittens standing behind our back while Albert standing at the veranda's gate).
But since we are talking with her she move to be standing in front of us at the opposite side of the table.
"Shouldn't the head maid, be more.. more.." I was doing my best trying to open conversation and ask the unsaid questions.
"More composed and focused on serving the house than following a toddler or you were going to ask, why am I going to join you in the sight seeing?" (Wow, since when she is this smart. She guessed my questions perfectly).
"The first was an order from young master Phillip, after all he said it will be fun to serve you and I enjoyed every single moment." She explained diligently unlike anything she showed me this morning. Then she teased me by saying she enjoyed boiling me alive. (I'm really going to try if felines can be cut with『Air Slice』).
"But to tell you the truth, I prefer serving young lady Eris more." (Then serve her and leave me alone. That what I wanted to say, if I'm Mom now is waiting for my next mistake like a time ticking bomb).
"And that's why I'm going to join her in her outing." (Okay join her and me and Mom will enjoy a stroll without any bothersome people).
"Also maybe play with her a little, because today she called me specifically to join her in her room tonight.." (my head is giving me a very bad answer and I'm doing my best not to belive it, all of that because of the headache. Aghhh, my head hurts).
"..To play with her." (Phew, crisis averted).
"You don't know how ene..."
"Ms Mittens, I will ask you by how much you love young lady Eris, to not to speak a word until they come, the headache is back." (And I here goes my plan to say to Mom: by how much do you love us and belive in Millis, I beg you to delay the punishment for my next mistake. Maybe I'm still capable of using it).
And with that we stayed 5 minutes of utter silence. Peace.
After the ladies of the Boreas but some weight of literal clothes and makeup on themselves which they done in a record time 30 minutes, not much.
We are ready to leave the manor where we entered the carriage Mom, lady Hilda and young lady Eris took the noblemen seats and I took the retainers seat with Mittens and Albert.
(Mom wanted me to sit next to her in the noblemen seat but I decided against it, to avoid being under her grasp).
First we took a look on some clothing stores for nobility in the nobles district. (Where the cheapest piece cost more than three gold coins and all of them weren't my style not because of the price but I don't like how eye catching they are
My style is simple clothes, the less drawings, crests and attachments the better and now the whole district's clothes is filled with only eye catching ones).
After that we went for the favourite clothing store to lady Hilda where she looked many times for boys and girls clothes about my size, but when she sees my face she always gave me a hateful gaze. (Paul, what the hell did you do to her?)
After she looked longingly to the boys clothes she almost cried before she bought from the fifth to the fifteenth dresses to young lady Eris. (She spent equivalent of 90 gold coin on dresses alone not mentioning blouses, skirts, hats and handkerchiefs, just on this outing she spent 500 gold coin and all of her purchases will be taken from manor because she is moving without carrying a single coin).
Next we had lunch on a restaurant which also has only fancy food on the menu.
And she spent all the lunch staring blankley at me like she is imaging something or she left her conscious on another world.
She didn't even realise when Eris spilled some of the soup on both of their clothes and Mittens cleaned both immediately.
(Okay, she had a child about my age and from the sizes she picked one of them is slightly older than Eris and the other is about the same as me, because of that I can guess either she used to had two sons from that. And she lost both either to illness or maybe...)
Also since we hadn't a single moment where I can do things freely I asked a favour to our Reeve who lost his leg in exchange I gifted him a silver coin.
And in midway eating he told me, he whispered to my ear that he did what I asked for and send what I wanted to manor.
And he lowered his whispered when he was saying how much did he spent and to my surprise he bought everything thing and with a lower cost than I anticipated. (He saved 4 gold coins from the purchases).
After having lunch she took us to a café where she ordered many sweets and still almost didn't touch the food and stared blankly on the parfait in front of her to the point the cream melted down and she is yet to touch it. (I can imagine Zenith in her place if I were taken from her the same way because I'm a Miko, well any sane parent will suffer the same if her lost his sons the same way, that's why I hate nobility).
When I looked at Mom to try to gesture to her about her friend's suffering, I found her devouring her sweets while doing her best to stay an elegant lady.
And as for the Eris she more or less had dived into the cake in front of and her face now had become a bowl of sweets.
(Now I know why Mittens had reserved a secluded room for us even though it cost much more than the usual.
Even though she did the same at the lunch I thought because she wanted for the women to relax a little but after seeing this they did more than relaxed a little).
After that the driver decided to do the stroll by moving around in city.
Passing through the wide paved streets, resting a little near the fountain, and near the big tree in middle of the squares.
Finally when we passed next to the bookstore I asked the driver to stop to buy a book.
When Mom asked how I will pay.
I opened the sack that has the sword and below it I hid my money sack inside piece of clothes.
(I took back my money from Mom and she found out that I had tricked her that the money in the sack with her is fake all of it is stone shaped coins.
The sack never had a single coin in the first place.
All of the money were hidden on my sack and the small bag around my neck.
The Money she had was fake coins made with earth magic taken gold coin design as a replica) .
After getting both out I had about 10 gold coins. (I don't count Sam's money that I also took it with me to buy her freedom for Reeve's birth with.
And even if I bought her something, her money won't be used her money will be safe with me until she grows up and need to use it herself).
After returning Sam's money back to the sack I asked Mom's permission to buy books for me and Sam. (Also I told her that's Sam's money and gave it to her).
She answered me by a sigh and said "we will have a very very long talk back home".
And continued by saying "she will join me in buying books."
(I'm considering if Phillip offers a good offer before taking as a Miko it will be safer than home).
After entering the store to my surprise it was a very small store and yet it had a low amount of books.
And next to the door there was a small shelf containing about 4 books per row.
I started reading the titles to see what I will buy.
First row: was filled with magical books like.
Magic manual (3 gold coins), Sig's summoning magic dictionary (10 gold coins), Healing magic and Saint Millis wisdom (8 gold coins), Magic is the futureby the wind king magician Georg the head of the magic University and the S-ranked... (the title alone was as big as some short stories in here and how humble the author is he wrote all of his titles in the book's title , oh by the way it's peice 3 gold coins and a single copper coin).
In short all the first row contains of magic books.
As for what I want from those. (None, what the hell is this prices the cheapest book in here is the same price as buying a car in my former life).
Second row: Ceremonies of Asura's Royal Palace's Imperial Court (15 gold coins the most expensive book in here and it is worth 1.5k dollar in my former life with this money I believe you could cover a whole family expenses for an entire year, by the way this book is out of my financial limits and honestly I don't care the slightest to know what is inside the money stealing book), The risen noble houses last decade and the ones who received rewards, and two other noble books I didn't bother read the title because the price tag on the cheapest was 10 gold coins and I'm not interested in either of those.
Third row: it was adult books row and all of them were very obvious from how small yet the only books included drawing in the cover. (Also not worth mentioning the cheapest was one worth 2 gold coins).
Fourth row: heroic stories belongs to Asura's heroes alone (Mom grumbled about many of the Millis heroes names should and books should be found but didn't bother tell the shop owner about) but from names only you can imagine all of them is prized merchandises: The great hero Ars, Alberdeen the golden knight, The saga of the North God, finally it was The Legend Of Perigruies.
Fifth row: I want everything on it.
The reason:
The plant dictionary encyclopedia, (10 gold coins, if I bought it I'm out of cash).
The Asuran history and the industrial improvement last century, (6 gold coins, and I'm really impressed by how cheap a huge book like this one).
The funniest failure of the adventurers misfits, (when I asked Mom about it, she said:
"...This book is written about group of misfits in middle of their people, so they turned to adventuring life, because of that many people hated them and waited mistakes for them.
And this story is whole written about the mistakes the misfits did and they explained it in detail to make them appear like they were stupid people." And she advised me not to buy it.
(BTW this was the cheapest book for 1 gold coin, even cheaper than buying the resources alone so I get what Mom meant saying this book is made not to gain money but to make fun of certain people).
Also worth mentioning Mom was sweating heavily when she saw me attracted to that book and she had pure embarrassed face about that book.
Finally the and the last book is human body anatomy and how to be a doctor without healing magic. (25 silver coins was the price).
Okay I want all of that row but my finances limits couldn't buy them all.
I also throwed glance on the sections in the store like:
The dictionaries section, the legendary figures section, swordsmanship section, magic section (BTW this was the smallest of the categories section because it was hardly a small shelf and most of it was filled with Magic Manual), finally the last section the adult and romance books section.
(When the shop keeper saw Mom he sighed and told her where to find this section before she even opened her mouth, and Mom if she was in her normal circumstances I wouldn't be impressed if she gave him a punch that will make him have a memory loss.
I'm talking about what happens usually when someone opens this topic in front of me, and the one who usually do that is everyone favourite Paul Greyrat.
...Hahahaha everyone favourite punch bag, that is the right to describe father).
Right now the shop keeper finally realised I'm his customer not Mom because until some moments ago, he was ignoring me completely and only talking to Mom, but when he saw me looking and counting money he realised what he did.
That's when he tried to take me to the short stories section but Ignored him.
After long consideration I bought: The funniest failure of the adventurers misfits, The Asuran history and the industrial improvement last century.
As for the plant encyclopedia, I let it after hard, long time consideration. (I kept staring at it for very long).
As for the last book I used my photographic memory to fast read the book and found it useless compared my knowledge as a former surgeon. (Heck the day I dissected the body of Reeve Andrew's daughter to find reason of death I may have discovered more information than the one found in this book, also the book is more talking about inter course than human anatomy).
And with that I bought all I want (for now because my cheapskate side is crying right now because I spent almost 77% of my money) and probably will delay things I wanted to do like getting some conveniences our house missing or sharpening my sword.
After finally finishing buying my books the shop keeper was happy because I bought two books, they no longer sells because the first was considered a failure to this world residents and the other was an old trend. (He didn't say this words exactly but his gestures meant that).
And when I returned to carriage I found one lady sitting with us while her conscious is still in another world, a black cat doing her best to entertain her master, a knight keeping a piercing eyes on the streets to search for danger and finally some girl all of her make-up got ruined her clothes in rags and she got some scratches and bruises from the black cat because she pulled the cat's tail before saying:
"let's start playing."
And that was 30 minutes ago and all of that they kept playing mock fighting inside the carriage to the point they both had ruined the seats.
(I will never play with this girl she is a delinquent girl coming straight out of the 80S, she is one of those who called bully I'm sure she will be her school delinquent... wait does this world have schools?)
That was my thought as Mom and I were doing our best to return everything to it's place and trying to find a place to sit on.
After finally making everything barely civilized we sat on what used to be noblemen seats.
**
After finally somehow we reached manor while our lower back gotten destroyed by the uncomfortable seats me and Mom returned to our room holding our back crying from pain.
After Mom healed our back she reviewed what I bought and and she was happy for the gifts for her and the girls but she didn't understand why I bought this many fruits and vegetables especially the inedible beetroot looking fruit, big cherries, the cheap wheat and this many carrots.
(A/N) (I think some of you can guess where the next chapter is going, the name is The perfect negotiation).
My answer was a wicked grin before saying: you will understand at meeting Mom and believe me you will be astonished.
