I gave the boy five silver coins. I took the basket filled with salads and cabbage from his hand.
The boy was hurt on his knee. He was bleeding, I wanted to heal him but then something crossed my mind.
There's a scarf that I use to tie my hair. I pulled it and secretly put five gold coins inside.
I folded it and bandaged it around his knee.
Hugo noticed my act and he slowly moved forward to cover us from the sight of the people who looked at us from afar.
Lana was calming down the young girl who was still crying.
"Here, 15 silver coins. And take this potion to your brother"
"Thank..thank you"
I patted his head, and he walked slowly holding the potion like it was so valuable.
'Please follow them. Can you do it?'
The blue fairy hesitates, it's not like he can not but he was obligated to watch me.
'I will give you five candies'
'I will do it'
We then went to Mr.Jusco stall, who was still busy with his customer.
"Sister...where are you going?"
"Just looking for some ingredients"
I showed them the basket filled with green veggies.
"Is it for the burger?"
Ah.. I forgot about that. I nodded at them.
"The ingredient was almost there."
I walked towards Mr.Jusco.
"Uncle, here the money for the potion that I grabbed just now. Sorry to took it from your hand just like that"
"It's fine… you didn't have to pay it."
"It will come back to us in the end. You should take it, business is business uncle"
He took the money from my hand with a satisfied smile on his face and amazement in his eyes.
"That was a brave move but stupid too. You can asked your guard to handle it"
Sir. Volco crossed his hand over his chest, one of his eyebrows slightly rose and he looked down to me, who was sitting at the wooden chair while drinking the lemonade in peace.
Are you praising me or you telling me I'm an idiot.
I knew what I did was wrong and he told the truth. I can ask Hugo to handle it, but it's quicker for me to teleport there.
I clear my throat and answer with a stoic face.
"It takes time to run there. I can just pop up in a second"
"That's more dangerous for your safety, young miss. If the black merchant saw you, they would do everything they can to have you. Teleportation was a rare magic and… it was valuable for the fat ass merchant for save their time in traveling"
Hugo nodded at Sir Volco words.
Lana gasped. She was really shocked and she opened her eyes big to look around for suspicious people.
I know this matter was serious beyond what I think.
"I understand...thank you for your concern and I appreciate that you helped me just now Sir Volco"
He wanted to keep nagging at me but soon he realized it's not his place to do so and he just nodded back at me.
"But.the people around didn't even care about them. Aren't they beastland people too"
Lana finally talked. She was sympathetic to the girl.
"They are bastards. Some are orphans. It's sad but that's reality there."
Sir Volco pointed at the main gate.
"You need strength to live. You need a place for home, you have to build it. Do you need land? You need to earn it."
I felt that how people live. Is there any different?
"Isn't it the same everywhere?"
Sir. Volco shakes his head.
"No… In there, you need strength. Everyone can take over your home instantly if you are weak. There's no law inside, just ability to live"
"What a way to live in a community"
I nodded at Lana's words. It means to live in the Beastland, literally the physical strength was important here.
"How about a magic user? Can they survive there? Are they acceptable to become part of the Beastland?"
I was curious.
"Maybe… that's if they can survive against the high level physical host and have a large pool of mana"
