As I ready to grab my spear, I see Yoo-Ah shakes her head saying:
"Don't worry, let me handle this! I may not be able to fight as good but I am confident in something else!"
I nod and put my hands away from the spear replying:
"I-I see, then I'm counting on you."
"Thanks! Watch me! I've been waiting for this moment!"
(You have?)
Juha wipes the tint of blood from the corner of her lips with her thumb saying:
"Hey you soldiers from the bureau! If what you said is true than you better be ready for court martial!"
(Court martial? What does that even mean or do?)
"The fuck are you talking about, you bitch?"
"Did you have some screw loose?"
"You said by law that Owlians that doesn't contribute to the magic industry and development shall be exiled from out of the city right!?"
"Yeah? So what!?"
"What can she do anyways with that thin arms!?"
(Yea, where is she going with this?)
The male soldier shouts back when Yoo-Ah smirks and giggles, replying:
"Easily throw your friend to the air apparently."
"You bitch-"
Before the guy soldier could move forward Yoo-Ah takes the sword pin on her beret saying:
"And it seems you need to understand who you're speaking with! I'm one of the few staff under the Adventurers guild who helps the finest adventurers in this kingdom which is one of the reason this market, those magic industry and development is still ongoing even after your stupid martial law! And also the one you're about to exile by force is an adventurer who is about to have her promotion as a proper adventurer tommorow!"
"Bullshit!"
"What kinda crap are you spouting!?"
"Sigh, let me just say she's recommended for the promotion by the Storm Walker Jin-Yeon herself. I have the papers back at the guild if you're willing to follow. So, I hope you have a good explanation for the Branch Guild Master and the Strongest adventurer ready for her expulsion then!"
(I just realize this but how does one even get a promotion quest? And like, why does she even recommend me when she hasn't seen my skills? And like she's the one who did it? Why???)
"That's..."
Seeing Yoo-Ah speaks with such confidence, the male soldier hesitates and backs away when the female soldier place her rifle at his shoulder shouting:
"Don't be fooled, you idiot! What makes you think that Owlian with no qi and magic is actually an adventurer!? And she just said she joined a few days ago!"
Yoo-Ah pulls out the broken badge saying:
"Well, sorry to say but her badge broke when she tried to stop a fight between martial arts expert, plus do you think she is weak cause she has no magic and qi!? Don't your parents ever teach you not to judge a clam before opening it!?"
"That's Owlian talk! Cut the bullshit!"
"Yeah!"
The two argues back as I wonder what is considered which when Yoo-Ah simply replies,
"Owlian or not, you still have the problem of causing harm to a citizen. I wonder what's the penalty again? And unless you forget I'm no mere civilian you can just ignore like all you barrack nobles did all the time! As a veteran staff of the guild my report will be heard by the top brass! And with all your doings I'm sure there are more than enough people to push it through that thick skull of law enforcer."
Yoo-Ah points at her bruised face and the two soldiers panics.
(Barrack Nobles? Still Yoo-Ah have ways with her words).
"You barrack nobles seems to have gotten over you heads lately! That you forgot who gave you a reason for your power in the first place! For a group called a "bureau" you sure stay away from your papers. And thanks to that, I suppose I got the best evidence of it all, I got all your actions recorded! Seems even Gods makes blunders it seems."
Yoo-Ah shakes her sword pin which causes the two soldiers to panic even more. As she pins it back to her beret, she opens her arms shouting:
"Not only that, in case I lost it, everyone here's a witness! I bet they'll be more than glad to testify especially when your Martial Law destroyed and took away their belongings. And their voice will be heard through me! Even for an Owlian, they'll take any jab at you nobles if it means lifting the law off this city! I'm pretty sure the promise is as long as there's no direct harm to civilians the Martial Law stands right?"
(Where did Yoo-Ah learned all this things?)
I could see the hatred in the onlookers eyes as a mix feelings of disgust and agreement forms. While despair and loss emerge from the two soldiers.
"I hope you also have another good explanation for your Commander after I report this!"
The male guard explode in anger as he shouts,
"You fucking bitch! You dare blackmail and threaten your own God!? The nobles of this country!?"
"What are you talking about!? I'm merely defending myself from some aggressive jerks, presenting evidence for self defense, and warning you Oh~ so wonderful NoBLEs the consequence of your actions like the good citizen I am! And unless you forgot again, the law doesn't care if you're immortal or not. You'll be judge with the same Anchor to the abyss!"
The two of them slither back cornered as their life seeps away from their eyes. I could even hear the dissent of the surrounding people as they softly whisper and mumble their tragedy and will of revenge.
(Hmm... I kinda don't like this but Yoo-Ah's amazing! So this is what it means to beat your enemies without getting them to swing their blades huh? I wonder if I can learn a thing or two from her?)
Soon enough I could hear some voice of hope from the gathering onlookers as they wonder if thanks to this incident the Martial Law will be lifted. That's when the voice soften and soon turns to silence. The gathering crowds breaks away, tattering with discontent and fear as they let someone through. Seeing her long brown twin-tails and the jade trims on her uniform, I quickly realize it's,
"Juha!"
I shout in relief to see her when the two soldiers as well have life return to their eyes. Dashing and stumbling towards her, they grab on as they seem to crawl out of death's door shouting:
"Lord, Jin-Juha! Please you have to assist us-", "This mad commoner is trying to destroy the balance-"
Juha grabs both of their face to shut them up, cutting them off and replying:
"So you two are the new agents sent from the capital with the princess' ship?"
"Y-Yes!", "T-That's right!"
Juha grasp their faces even tighter as they seem to hold her arm in pain as she leans closer to their ears. And with my heightened hearing, I could hear her whispering:
"(I see, I won't rub salt to your wounds but I hope you learned your lessons. This is not the capital city, and next time not even your family will be able to save you)."
"Y-Yes! Thank you so much, Lord Jin-Juha!" "O-Of course! We are eternally grateful!"
Juha let's them go as I see a hand mark on their face. She walks past them saying:
"Hmph! You've failed the bureau! Now pack your bags and return back to your homes! I expect a resignation letter for the Head of security by tomorrow! I think that's a more acceptable than the alternative right?"
"What!?"
Yoo-Ah shouts as I wonder,
(Wait, is she... Helping them? But they're resigning so that's good right? Since they won't do this job again?)
The both of them bow their heads in jubilation replying:
"Y-Yes!" "Right away! We'll never forget this debt!"
With tails between their legs they run away in a hurry as one of them lose their balance and trips.
"What the hell was that! We had them in their tails!"
Yoo-Ah approaches stomping her feet while Juha sighs and shake her head replying:
"I understand your anger and I know I should've been faster or stick with you. But I still have a duty to fulfill as a senior agent of the Internal Defense Bureau myself! I ain't going to let any dissent or public unrest disturb the fragile peace this city already have!"
(Wait, so she's with them!?)
Juha looks around and disperse any remaining people that's still watching before walking close to me and continue saying:
"You can explain to me your problems later, and I'll help you with that. And I think I can guess what it is if it involves, Sova."
She looks at me as she says that and I can only look down for an unknown guilt. Yoo-Ah approaches her again replying:
"It seems there are some things I could never agree with you!"
"I think that's normal among individuals."
They both glare off each other as I could see spark clashing between their gaze.
(I-I have to diffuse this situation! But... How? Aha!)
"H-Hey! Since we're all here now! Let's try visiting some shops! With Juha around I'm sure we'll be fine, right?"
"Rrrgh! Fine! I'll put this aside for now! Where do you want to go?"
Yoo-Ah stomps her feet and looks at me as she asks and Juha does the same looking away saying:
"Lead the way."
(Wait, this could be a good chance!)
"Actually I have something I want to get if you don't mind."
"Eh!? You do! Why didn't you say that! Very well! I suppose we can visit the trade market after your promotion quest! So what do you want to get!?"
Yoo-Ah grabs both my arms and force me to look her as she asks and I nod replying:
"Well, simply a notebook and a pen to write it with."
"Eh!? Well if you just need that we have plenty back at the guild!'
"Um, not just any normal notebook but a book that's not easy to be destroyed. Like maybe being waterproof, doesn't burn so easily, or maybe have some wire so that it won't drop or the sort."
"Eh!? That's a bit high order, I mean I never really pay attention that much to papers and books. Not even tomes mages study with go that far... Ah! Wait a second! I think I know where to find one!"
"Really!? Perfect! And I have one more thing. And this might be a weird request."
"Eh?"
Ignoring the bewildered Yoo-Ah, I look at Juha asking:
"Um, Juha, actually I want to ask you about this."
"Me?"
Juha turns around a bit confused as well and I nod replying:
"That's right! You're a lady of high status and seeing how you know a lot about table manners and whatnot, I wonder if you know a good place to get a good cup and mug?"
"Sorry what!?"
"A... Cup?"
Both Yoo-Ah and Juha tilt their head in confusion as they ask.
*************************************
"I see, so that what's happened... I can appreciate you leaving that store quietly, Sova. Causing a scene would be a poorer choice for you and a worse outcome for me, so thank you."
As we walk following Juha, we soon take a steep climb. Hearing her compliment, I nod replying:
"Really? Well, no problem-"
"Hey! You should at least complain a little! I mean getting kicked out when you already enter is just really... Arrraaagh!"
*Munch* *Munch* *MUNCH"
Yoo-Ah chews on her barrett in rage before pointing at me shouting:
"And you should at least be more mad! Why aren't you mad!? I mean it's not like they literally put a sign saying Owlians can't enter! Like what the hell!"
"Hmph! If that was the case then they would be dealing with the Police Guards or me at worse for trying to breaking the law and inciting unrest with the Owlians... Well if there's still some left..."
Juha replies back with her voice becoming softer at the end and Yoo-Ah stops nibbling on her hat and put it back on after cleaning it with her elbow asking:
"By the way, what ever happened to the police? I'm sure they were still here before I left for vacation?"
"Oh them? With Martial Law they have been incorporated to the Army, most are disbanded and those that pass the selection are incorporated as special peacekeeper division and are mostly send to the capital."
"What the hell!? Disbanded!? Then what will happened after the Martial Law!? Hire them all back with some notice!? Like they will answer that! What is going on with this kingdom!? With no police but the army left, what the hell are you nobles trying to do?!"
Juha stayed quiet for a while before looking at me and back at her answering:
"Sigh, I can't tell you much and I don't know much myself but the IDB is doing their best to keep the peace, that's all I can tell."
"Urgh! What's with all the secrecy! Can't you see that bullshitery is the reason we're mad in the first place!"
Juha stops for a while as we catch up beside her. She keeps silent and look away with pain in her face when she looks at us replying:
"I can't tell you anything but... Sorry, even I don't know what to make it myself."
Juha continues on as I follow along windering if I can help with the heavy situation. I look back seeing Yoo-Ah clenching her fist for a while before she runs beside me saying:
"Urgh! Secrets and secrets!"
"Hmph! Ignoring all your complaints, Sova!"
"H-Huh? Yea?"
"I didn't know you are someone with a taste for table etiquette, colour me impressed."
Juha nods to herself as she leads us meanwhile Yoo-Ah looks at me with disbelief as she then pokes my arm asking:
"Hey! What's going on!? Tell me! Are you perhaps hiding something from me!?"
"W-Wha!? N-No! Not at all!"
"Hmph! I get it, I think she's trying to compensate for her poor behavior back at the first night we had our dinner. It seems I've seen you in a new light now, Sova."
(Eh? Well, I suppose if an explanation falls to my lap, might as well just take it. I mean I can't just explain that I want to get a big cup just so I can knock down a peg from a friend and prove something).
"I guess you got me-"
"Bullshit! Don't lie to me! You think I'm that stupid! Hey! Tell me! Tell me!"
*Poke* *Poke*
Yoo-Ah continues to poke me on my cheek until I got a bit annoyed and hold her hand replying:
"I'm sorry Yoo-Ah but I can't really tell you why."
"What!? But-But! How could you! After all that risks I took for you and all the favours I pulled as well, you're keeping secrets from me!? Like that bitch!"
"Hmph! Uncultured swine with a viper's tongue, can't you let a lady keep her secrets? Sova may not be living as a Noble but she is born one. Maybe she's just curious to feel the noble life."
Juha helps me answers but,
"No! I mean! Um... Fine, but come close. It's embarrassing to tell. So don't laugh!"
"Eh? Fine! What is it?"
Yoo-Ah leans closer as I bring my lips closer to her ear, I could pick up her scent unconsciously while slowly whispering:
"I-I... I just want to have a huge mug for myself okay? Drinking little by little only to go back and forth is tiresome."
(I decided to tell her both the truth and lie why as well).
"Eh!? What's so embarrassing about that!"
"It is, okay!"
Yoo-Ah's grumbling face soon swoon to a gleeful smirk as she then pulls me close with her arms shouting:
"The hell! That's actually pretty cute! To think you actually have such a tiny guilt like that! Hum! Hum!"
"Yoo-Ah..."
(Wait cute? That's cute?)
Juha stops in her tracks and turns around folding her arms saying:
"Hmph! I don't care why you wish to procure a set of cups but if you're willing to learn I am not going to refuse!"
She then turns around again to look at a huge store with a sign saying,
[Hu-La's Antiques]
"Well then, let us enter."
"R-Right!"
As we approach near the door, it slams open to reveal a lady in her late teen jumping out and hugging Juha shouting:
"Juha! Oh I knew you were close! My Juha senses can sense you from miles away! Oh? What's this? Have you grown taller? I'm sure I'm taller than you back-"
"In your dreams."
"Blrghh! Ugh!"
Maybe it's her small height but Juha hugs her back and lift her up at the same time and walk inside the store replying:
"Yeah, yeah, you can stop with the antiques."
"Hoh~ you're actually hugging back? What's the occasion?"
Wondering if this is a chance to go in, I follow suit while Yoo-Ah sticks behind me.
"Hmph! Nothing much! Just helping a friend with her hobby."
"Eh~? No need to be shy! Just say you miss me. You do! Don't you!?"
"Course not! Dumbass! Hmph! Keep dreaming!"
Seeing her sobbing face, Juha sighs and let's her go as she hangs onto her while she looks back at us saying:
"Anyways, meet my friend from the academy, Daehab Hu-Sae. She is the host of the tea ceremony club in the city and also current owner of this establishment. I'm sure she can assist you in your endeavors with both the cups and behavior."
"Hmm? What's this? Someone you call a friend!?"
Hu-Sae let's Juha go and approach us saying:
"Which is it? The Owlian or the other girl?"
Seeing her get close, Yoo-Ah shields me again saying:
"Woah! Stop right there! I ain't letting you get too close!"
"Aw~ no need to be so hostile. I mean I'm pretty sure this is why she brought you to my store in the first place. I treat Owlians the same since I have a Owlian little sister after all."
Her hands makes a groping gesture as she tries to circle around us. Yoo-Ah got a bit surprised but still holds firm replying:
"Eh!? You do? So you must be half siblings then since you're an zerian?"
Hu-Sae stops her motion as she stands normally replying:
"That's right! So no need to worry! So tell me! What do you need?"
(Oh? To think Juha would think so far... I really can't tell if she's helping or not sometimes).
Hearing her question, I step forth and boldly proclaim:
"I want a big mug and cups that would impress a friend."
"Pff! Like hell that can happen you dummy! Hahaha! Hey, Juha! Where did you find her? She's hilarious! Pssshahaha!"
Hu-Sae walks beside me and pat my back as she laughs her guts out. Juha moves beside us saying:
"This is Sova Anmao, she's an adventurer with many promises."
"Hmm? Never heard of a promising newbie with your name."
"Well of course, she just joined a few days ago, and the incredible part is she's doing her promotion quest tommorow."
"Blrrgh! What!?"
Hu-Sae shakes her head in disbelief but Juha continues on walking to Yoo-Ah introducing:
"She is Yoo-Ah, if that sounds familiar she's our Valedictorian's little sister. Though if I have to be honest, I'm a bit ashamed to admit she doesn't carry even a bit of her elegance it seems."
"Hey! Rude! I can assure you I surpass her in that department! How else did I aquire my current job!"
"Blrraga! Yoo-Sui Unnie's! Juha, where did you meet them!? More like where have you even been the sort to associate with people!?"
(Associate? Is she really that unsociable?)
Hu-Sae's eyes glitter as her cheeks shakes from moving her head too much and I worry for her neck. She circles around us while hiding behind the tall shelves as it seems she's a hunter stalking her prey.
"Hehehe~ I see it now..."
"Hmph! See what with your rotten eyes? Say that when you actually figure it out when you first saw them."
Juha grabs her across the shelves and pulls her over in her arms when she continue saying:
"Well, why not take a look around first? Maybe you'll find something you want. I'll... Have a chat with her."
"Eh!? Juha? Asking for a cha~t?"
"Shut it and come with me. You could say we should... Catch up."
Hu-Sae slowly raise her finger to point at Juha while squinting her emerald coloured eyes in mock skepticism replying:
"You know, Juha. I may be a bit easy-going but I'm still very suspicious with how you're being so... Sociable-"
"Just shush and come with me."
Seeing them both leave to the room behind the counter, I'm left with Yoo-Ah as I wonder where to look. After all, this place doesn't only have tea sets and mugs but from statues, single chairs, weird boxes, shells of probably a living creature and many more. As I continue to browse the golden sky outside starts to dim and the lights in this building and the streets outside comes to life.
"Oh? It's that late already?"
I speak to myself as one of the lights limelight a certain object that caught my eye. Approaching close, it is a peculiar ring among the other small accessories. Drawing me in as if it's calling me in...
(Weird when did I get urges like this? If I remember correctly, Nicole told me that only magic item do this no?)
As I grab the ring, I realize beneath the brilliant lavender gem, inside the ring carved a familiar symbol.
(No way!)
I start to remember the symbol my Mom showed me back then as well...
(What is with these few days and all the coincidences!? Well, I suppose it's great everything is falling in place but...)
"What did you find!?"
I decided to take this ring when Yoo-Ah jumps beside me asking me and I turn to look at her seeing her grabbing an item of her own.
"Just this ring and mug."
I wear my headband and grab the huge mug beside it with a different symbol on it as I reply.
"Hmm!?"
Juha looks at the ring as she shakes her head replying:
"Hum! Hum! I never knew you're the type to be interested in accessories! Still, check what I got!"
Juha raise the item on her hand which is a weird lamp that seems to have something move inside of it.
"Ooh~ What is that?"
I tilt my head as I ask as I am drawn in by the moving thing inside of it and Yoo-Ah raise it higher saying:
"I don't know! But I'm sure as hell bringing this back to Sis' inn! Just looking at it is pretty captivating!"
I nod in agreement when Juha and Hu-Sae returns. Behind the counter, as we approach she looks at our stuff and cough once replying:
"Ahum! I've been informed of your troubles in the market and decided that I..."
Hu-Sae looks back at Juha with a bit of tears in her eyes before sighing and continue saying:
"Have decided to be your trade station."
"Eeeeh!?"
"Huh? What does that mean?"
Juha leans on the table replying:
"I heard your problems and thought since it all falls together might as well connect it together."
"Huh?"
"Do I have to explain myself!? She will help you with your market problem! If you need something or want to sell anything she will be your go-to person! Dumbass!"
"I-I see..."
"Aww~ don't be so down. I heard what you did. She's just too shy to say she wants help you- ack!"
Juha chops on her head shouting:
"Shut up!"
"Wuwuwu... That hurts!"
"Hmph! Anyways! Did you two get the items you want?"
I nod replying:
"Mhm! I found this nice mug and this ring."
"Hmm? You don't seem the type to wear ornaments but very well. What about the cups? Didn't find one?"
"Ah about that, I actually don't know which cups to choose, so maybe I hope you can help me with that?"
Juha then looks at Yoo-Ah who seems pissed at the moment when she hands the lamp to Hu-Sae saying:
"Yeah..."
I approach her asking:
"Hey, what's wrong?'
She looks at me with a sharp gaze and puffed cheeks before replying:
"I don't like how I'm being sidelined! I'm supposed to be helping you with the problem but..."
"What do you mean sidelined? Didn't you helped me more than enough already?"
"Argh! Anyways! Just go find your cup!"
"O-Okay..."
Juha stares at me for a while before asking:
"Say, Sova... I haven't ask yet but what's your budget?"
"Hmm? Oh..."
(Ah schnitzel!)
"S-Say, how much is usually one tea set?"
"Hmm, since this is an antique shop... Hey! How much did you make them!?"
Juha in turn looks at Hu-Sae and she ponders before replying:
"Hmm I suppose the more well-known and fancier ones comes at around 2,000-10,000 Wu."
"Prrfff! Sorry what!?"
(I mean I only have 4000 right now! And I'm about to splurge all that on some tea sets? Wait now that I think about it...)
"If you just want some tea sets, there are some of the simple ones that cost around 100-300 Wu. Like this one."
Hu-Sae pulls out a transparent glass cup and cattle as I see the green drink inside. She pours a cup with such elegance that baffles me a little before handing it to me in such a way that makes me feel a bit weird and continue saying:
"Here you go, ma'am, enjoy. It's my favourite."
"I-I see..."
*gulp*
"Yum!"
As the clear taste of sweetness wash over with just a single gulp, I still can't help but think,
"Still, why are tea sets so expensive! I mean even the food stalls sells for a cheap coin and it's already fulfilling!"
"Hmph! You do realize this is a hobby for nobles right? Spending a few thousand on such is actually pretty cheap."
"I really have no sense of money... And as for my budget, I have around 4000 Wu."
"Oh? That's more than enough to get a decent one."
"But I haven't even account for this huge mug and ring. Plus I still need to buy that book I need."
"Hmph! Sova, I think you need to understand that it's not the cups that impress them, it's the person handing them out. Like how Sae pours you a cup."
"I-I see!"
Juha stands and pour herself a cup saying:
"Hmph! But in the end of the day, what's important is..."
*Sip*
"The taste after all, no matter how fancy your set and expensive your leaves are, if it's not good then it's just torture."
Hu-Sae leans forward on the counter towards Juha asking:
"Really~? As for me, it's the atmosphere. You just got to make everything right before drinking it. And I'm confident in my chances since I'm the leader of the tea ceremony club."
Seeing them argue and chat, I look back seeing Juha and pour her with my cup asking:
"You want some?"
"It's not bitter is it?!"
"Nope, pretty sweet."
"Then give me some!"
Yoo-Ah swipe the glass from my hand as she starts drinking it before saying:
"Wow! This is good! Like, real good! And here I thought tea's either bland or extremely bitter."
"Not at all, Yoo-Ah Ssi. It's just preference I heard older people like the bitter one while younger generation like us prefer sweet tea.
Though I have to admit, I'm surprised you've drink tea before since it's pretty hard to get."
"It is?", "It is!?"
We look at Hu-Sae in shock when she pours herself another cup. And as I wonder how many cups are beneath the counter, she starts to explain saying:
"Tea is a precious commodity that can only be procure from Heaven. Simply put, what you're drinking is what people here called Heaven's Leaves and since it can only grow there, it costs around the same as a normal yearly salary here for the cheapest leaves."
"They are!? I mean Sis always have a shelve full of those bitter black tea back at the inn! It's all she drinks for some "snack" time."
"Really? Black tea leaves? Those must the ones from the the farthest side from ours... Man, getting a box is hard and not mentioning the price."
(Wait! So it's only unique to Rucina City!? Then again it kinda brings me a weird feeling that I can just easily grab some tea leaves back at the convenience store for 10 riaz or with the convenience store manager letting me take packs at the rest room... I wonder whatever happen to manager lady? Her shop was closed when I was trying to find Saya).
Juha takes another sip before saying:
"Heh, why I am not surprised. Anyways, is that all you want to buy? I know you may want to browse more but I suggest you buy what you need than what you want. It's getting late outside after all."
Hearing her advice my brain finally clicks as to what to do.
"Ah! You're right! Thanks!"
"Hmph! Dumbass! If you really like a set you can just ask Sae here to keep the set for you so you can buy it when you got the money, besides nobody's been buying stuff from the shelves anyways so it's okay."
"Urgh! Juha! How could you say that! I totally have customers okay!? Like look I just got two here!"
Hu-Sae complains as she points at both me and Yoo-Ah, Juha simply shakes her head replying:
"Pitiable, you could earn more doing something else than your family business. Like isn't your tea ceremony already making 3 times more? And as of you two, do you have what you want for now?"
I nod and hand over the ring and mug saying:
"Yup! But right now I don't have any cups I want yet so I'll come by next time. Now we go to find the book. Yoo-Ah if you would please."
Yoo-Ah pulls out her wallet as she looks at my items replying:
"Sure, sure, and by the way, why do you need a book for? Writing diaries? That would be pretty neat! It could be the journal of a legendary adventurer!"
"Haha, no I'm not the the type to write journals and diaries."
*Slam*
Yoo-Ah slams her wallet to the counter asking:
"Eh!? Then what's it for!? Especially when you're asking it to be nigh indistructable Wait... Could it be..."
Seeing her curious face I can't help but quickly answer,
"Whatever you're thinking it's not! And please just leave me alone in that!"
Yoo-Ah gives me a huge grin replying:
"Sure~ Sure~! So how much is all of it?"
Spending the early night on the shop, we soon exit and I wonder...
(Hmm... Things have been progressing really smoothly even with hiccups here and there... Either way, I must use this chance as much as I can and hope nothing happens).
