Novel Bin Chapter 129 Back To Avaris
Luckily we had found an inn where we could stay for the night at a low price. It was early in the morning, and our money could be exchanged for platinum and gold coins.
It was a shame that we would lose five percent of the diamond coin\'s worth. But that was how businesses work.
Livie and I were going to leave the town. We had left the hotel early, so we didn\'t discover what had happened.
We had finally departed from this town to set up the flying carpet that could fit six people.
"Livie, let\'s eat now." Breakfast hasn\'t been served. The both of us had decided to eat breakfast while we were traveling.
It was amazing how two weeks had passed by in a flash. And with our speed, it would be almost three weeks before we returned to the academy.
"Livie, after our return, we would have a little more than a week to choose a second commission," I told Livie the news.
"Would you prefer to take the long or short request?" I prefer the request to my liking.
"Hmm... I don\'t think it matters. Now that we have this carpet, I don\'t mind another escort mission." I see. I would choose something that I would prefer to do then.
Eating a snack, a giant bird came out from the sky and lunged at us. The bird who took my snack went flying, never coming back.
I was too shocked by the development. Our carpet was over tree level, making it hard for monsters to climb and attack us.
Flying-type monsters were now our primary focus. It was a good thing Livie here could make me another snack. Otherwise, I would have cursed and stomped at the carpet angrily.
"Livie, could you perhaps make me another one?" She complied with my request and gave me some chocolate cookies.
They were right when they said, "Conqeour their stomach to win their heart." It was fantastic to have someone make something for you every day.
"Livie, take this." I gave her the artifact that allowed her to lower her presence. I couldn\'t afford more annoying flying pests to come over and attack us.
"Livie, want to play on your gaming device?" I was surprised that Livie had lasted this long without playing on it. It\'s been two weeks since she last played.
Snatching the gaming device, Livie started the game. "Livie, come sit on my lap. I want to watch you play."
Obeying what I had said, Livie made herself comfortable being on top of me. Watching her play the game itself was entertaining in its own right.
What made this world much better was the free wifi. Wifi itself runs in mana, and this world runs in mana, meaning online play is accessible to anyone.
Online games were popular with kids and many adults who didn\'t plan on becoming great mages. The games distracted their progress, so mages themselves were usually distant from games.
While these things were expected, videos and live streams didn\'t exist. If I had that kind of entertainment, I wouldn\'t have left my house in months.
Livie, who was sitting on my lap, was starting her game. My arms were warped under her arms, and my head was on her neck.
The position on my body shouldn\'t hinder her performance in the game. The game she was playing was similar to a viral game in my old world.
Popular characters were featured in the game that Livie was playing. It was a four-player brawling game that determined the last man standing.
Livie was playing a one-on-one match against her opponent. I felt bad for the opponent since Livie hasn\'t lost a life against them.
Days have passed by in a blink of an eye. Livie and I were chilling on our carpet. Even with our artifact, monsters had approached us.
I couldn\'t blame the artifact since we were out in the air, waiting to be attacked. But it was still annoying to be attacked while I was asleep.
"Livie, we\'re back!" I had lowered our artifact to the ground, and I didn\'t want to be caught for doing suspicious activities by flying above the school.
The guards that were at the entrance had let us in. I was surprised that they didn\'t do an identity check.
"Livie, I\'m going to hug my bed after." While I haven\'t been in the school long, the home in Avaris was like a second home.
"Charlie, we still need to get our reward." Livie had pointed out what we needed to do.
"Ah." I had forgotten about it. It was a good thing Livie reminded me about it.
While we didn\'t need the money, getting our earnings was better the earlier we did. It has been almost three weeks since we went to the commission room.
Entering the commission area, Livie and I went to the receptionist to claim our prize.
"Hi, is there anything I could help you with?" The female receptionist had asked.
"The both of us would like to get our reward for our commission."
"Which commission did you complete?"
"We did an escort mission for our client Kayla Eyelander two weeks ago." Checking our commission request, the receptionist found it.
"Charlie and Olivia, correct?" We nodded, confirming that it was us.
"Do you have identity proof?" Livie and I took out our student cards and showed them to the receptionist.
Looking at the student cards, "Here is your reward."
She handed four platinum coins to the desk. "Come back soon." The receptionist smiled at us, greeting her farewell.
Taking the money, we left the area. I looked at the sky, which was already somewhere in the evening.
It was late by the time we got back, and I just wanted to laze around my bed. Tomorrow Livie and I will go back to class.
I wondered how the rest of my classmates did for the commission. I had heard that there were times when some first years died from an accident. I wondered how my classmate fared. I will see it tomorrow.
