Chapter 5 - Fatty

After arriving home it was already midnight, and outside the gate an angry Aunty Leah greeted Ren as he was distracted with his new power. At the sight of Ren, a barely noticeable glint went across her eyes, as a look of interest and curiosity appeared and quickly vanished.

"Young master! Where have you been all day!?"

Grabbing Ren's ear and pulling him into the house Aunty Leah started to scold him. "Ah! Ah!" While getting dragged into the house, with a pained expression, Ren managed to escape from Aunty Leah's grasp as he dashed ahead of her, vanishing into his room.

"Brat!"

With a slight smile on her face she went into the house.

In the morning after washing his face, Ren left with his stall again to sell roasted meat. Enduring the searing rays of the sun, Ren sets up his stall getting ready to sell his goods. In the world of Rasch in this region there is no winter, only summer, fall, and spring. Some regions only have a perpetual winter, and some are in a perpetual summer etc. Most regions are perfectly normal with the expected four seasons, in the region where Ren lives the weather is always hot, and sometimes cool, but mostly hot.

It's a pain having to stand in the sun all morning selling roasted meat, the combination of the fire and the heat of the sun, leaves you feeling like a piece of roasted meat yourself.. While roasting meat and advertising his goods, a meatball of human flesh, bundled in some fancy silk clothing pushed his way through the crowd.

Followed by at least three visible guards, the fatty approached Ren's stall and stared at the roasted meat.

gurgurgur!

With a rumbling sound coming from his stomach the fatty blushes slightly as he continues to stare at the meat.

Realizing that someone is standing in front of his stall, Ren looks up at the fatty, and watches the fatty stare at his meat (AN: Uhhh *ahem*). After a few moments of silence, Ren looks at the fatty as his face twitches, "Are you gonna buy anything?"

As the three guards look at the fatty with a weird look the fatty finally notices that someone spoke to him, "Ah, This roasted meat, how much is it?"

Looking at the fatty, Ren celebrates inside a little as this is his first customer of the day and he looks rich, "20 silvers, your not embarrassed to have been standing there like a moron?"

Shaking his head the fatty looks even harder at the meat.

"I'll buy 30, why would I be embarrassed? The food smells good why wouldn't I have stopped and stared at it?"

Said the fatty as his guards looked at him with a strange look on their faces, 'Boss, eating this much is bad for you'.

Each piece of roasted meat weighed 10 kilograms.

"The price is 6 gold coins"

"Thanks"

Handing the fatty the roasted meat with an excited look on his face, he quickly snatches the 6 gold coins before the fatty changes his mind.

"Thank you! Now if you could leave I have more work to do!"

Nodding his head the fatty leaves as his guards grab the roasted meat and follow after the fatty. As Ren watched the fatty leave he was excited to see the look on Aunty Leah's face when he brings back 6 gold coins.

In the World of Rasch 1 silver is enough for a normal family to live for a month if they spend the money sparingly, and 50 silver to build a house themselves, but Ren just got 6 gold, 1 gold is enough to buy a new house, and also more than enough to repair his.

Ren quickly packed up his stall and left for home.

10 minutes later, as the fatty was walking back to his house with his three guards, he noticed the sound of coins jingling was quieter in his pouch, noticing this he looked at his guards, "How much did I pay again?"

Looking at the fatty one of the guards shakes his head as if he was expecting this, 'Boss..'

"Boss Yan, you spent 6 gold"

"What!? 6 gold!? I just bought some roasted meat!"

With his flesh trembling, boss Yan looked at the guards, "You're supposed to deal with stuff like this! That was half of my monthly allowance!"

Sweat started to pour down the faces of the guards as they looked a little panicked, "Boss, this wouldn't happen if you ate less.."

Boss Yan looked at the guards as his fat trembled even more, "Eat less!? Are you calling me a pig!? Are you insulting my handsome fleshyness!?"

"N, n, no"

"Aaaaah! My money! My precious money!"

"Boss Yan"

"Ahhhhhhhh!"
