Novel Bin Chapter 49 Failed Robbery
Both Olivia and Serena should be out of classes about now. I wondered if Serena had worked things out for herself.
I didn\'t know what to do. I was just sitting around waiting for my roommates to come. Then, finally, I heard someone open the door, going to it I saw Olivia.
"Welcome back!" I gave Olivia a warm welcome.
Olivia smiled wholeheartedly, seeing this. It was only her that came back.
"Did you see Serena?" I was starting to get worried about her. Did something back then really bother her that much?
"Serena didn\'t come to class today." Olivia was sad when she told me this.
"Should we visit her? I\'m worried about her."
"I think we should. Serena\'s problems seem to be affecting her more than I thought." Olivia agreed with my suggestion, agreeing that we would visit Serena. So we headed out and went to her house.
Her house was pretty close to mine. This school provides homes for leading nobles. They were provided their own houses due to the donation that they gave to the school. Although nobles usually prefer to live in a larger building, the thought of sharing a dorm with a stranger disgusted them.
Ring the doorbell. We are waiting for someone to come and open the door. There wasn\'t anyone picking up. I was wondering if Serena was inside her house.
"I don\'t think she is home." Olivia had stated the obvious. We had been waiting a minute, and no one had picked up.
"Let\'s wait for another minute or two," Olivia said nothing, but knowing her, I think she wouldn\'t mind. But first, I wanted to check in on Serena. We haven\'t talked for a few days.
I may be that annoying person that keeps ringing the doorbell, but I want to be sure that we don\'t miss her when she comes out.
"Let go. Serena is not home." Seeing that no one was going to come out, we left.
"Do you want to do anything today? I promised that we would spend our day together." I didn\'t want her mood to go down because I didn\'t fulfill my promise. Serena isn\'t here, so I couldn\'t afford to make problems with Olivia.
"I had always wanted to visit a flower shop." We didn\'t have anywhere better to go. With Olivia leading the way, we eventually found a flower shop.
I should have known. Most of the things here are magic plants. I should have seen this coming. My senses of my old world are still here. Checking out the store, a worker was coming toward us.
"Would you like a guide? If you pay for 50 silver, our shop." How does she keep a straight smile when she says that?
I looked at Olivia, asking what she wanted. It didn\'t matter to me which options she chose. Olivia, seeing my expression, nodded, suggesting that she should hire her. Paying a gold coin, I got 50 silver coins back.
"Thank you for your patronage. I\'m Milly and will be your guide." She sweetly smiled, seeing the gold coin in her hand.
Milly, our guide for this large flower shop, walked into the store. Following her, the both of us went into the store. The place was less green than I expected. I thought the place would be all green, seeing that most plants in my world were green. Even the common plants in this world are green.
"Surprised?" Milly smirked proudly, seeing the surprised face that Olivia and I had made.
"The plants here are rare and could be found worldwide. Unlike normal stores, we sell plants that other places don\'t." She spoke like an actual salesperson.
The two of us then began to walk around. There were many exciting yet dangerous plants. Unfortunately, many plants could harm anyone that was nearby. I don\'t know why anyone would buy those. They seem like a hassle to take care of.
Something happened when we were walking around. A girl was trying to rob the store. I was laughing at her when she failed the robbery.
At first, no one knew that it was a robbery. When the thief pulled out her magic weapon that could blast someone, she dropped it in front of the cashier\'s desk. Falling under the cashier\'s desk resulted in her running away, knowing she would get in trouble. She ran as fast as possible, seeing that her weapon was unobtainable.
One of the workers in the store pressed a button that alerted the alarm resulting in magicians that were guards in the store, resulting in her being captured. I had never seen something that stupidly funny. Even Olivia, who was someone who wouldn\'t laugh at people, also laughed.
Having all that done, Milly, our tour guide, had convinced Olivia to buy a plant. It was a plant called Purple Sweet Nectar Flower. Once consuming it when it is fully grown, it would allow anyone with magic related to sweets to improve the effects of their ability.
It was particular about how the flower matched Olivia\'s magic. So I hope that Olivia will be able to take care of it. It was a good thing that the flower wasn\'t that costly, since most people wouldn\'t want it, the cost of the flower was one of the lowest around here. So paying three gold, we got the flower.
It\'s a shame that there wasn\'t any flower that could help me. The flowers that improved fire magic wouldn\'t help since my magic was already one of the highest tier fire magic.
"Thank you for choosing our store. Please come back anytime." Milly said professionally, smiling at us as we left.
"That was a good find. Let\'s come back when a new stock of flowers comes in." I said to Olivia, who agreed to my words.
"I wasn\'t expecting that someone would rob the store. It was my first time seeing it, hehehe~" Olivia giggled, remembering what had happened to the robber. We laughed at the situation as we walked home together.
