"Let's move to the vegetable section, sis" I really wanted to see different kinds of vegetables present in the world. After entering the market, I realized that the number of people here can be less than 100 people.
Watching my face, my sister said, "Our people generally don't like to eat plants and their fruits. Though there are some of the fruits, which tasted sweet. But they are very expensive for common people to buy." She continued while pointing at a counter, "See, that Sand Crown fruit is one of the famous products of Seabach city." She then pointed me to a fruit that is similar to pineapple. Though this fruit is much bigger than the fruit present in my old world.
She gave me a slice and much on another slice herself.
Urgh! It's sweet! Really sweet! I wondered if I can extract sugar or syrup from it.
According to my sister, this fruit is a cheap and common man, could easily buy them. "Sis! Can we buy some of these fruits? I wanted to do something." I asked or rather begged my sister. Without saying anything she brought ten of Crown fruits.
This time instead of being a monkey, I decided to walk on my own, holding my elder sister's hand.
Suddenly, something caught my eyes. It was a round thing with dry mud still sticking to it.
Isn't that potato! With suspicion, I moved towards the counter of the person selling it. Noticing my behavior, my sister asked, "Did something catch your eyes, Snow? Oh! That! It is called mud fruits. We generally don't eat them but horses and other grass-eating animals love them."
Explaining it to me, she moved with me. Noticing me, the seller welcomed and told the price of mud fruit. I suddenly asked, "Do you have a knife?" Nodding his head, he gave my sister a knife instead of me.
Urgh! I forgot I am still a kid.
"Sis, can you cut this thing from the middle. Mr. Seller you don't have to worry, we would buy this single mud fruit." I said to my sister and to the seller. Following my instruction, she cut that large mud fruit from the middle.
Ah! It really is potatoes. Oh! My! God! Oh! My! God! Oh! My! God!
It is really potatoes. Oh! My lovely potato. I really found you! I really missed you. Please forgive these rude animals, they really don't understand your grandness. As a faithful potato knight, I would bring the potato revolution in this world. Oh! King of vegetables! Please watch over me.
Watching my changing face, my sister asks, "What happened, Snow? Why your face is changing so quickly?"
Hearing her voice I woke up and stare at pitifully.
Hmmm! It seems like I have to enlighten my sister from her ignorance so she would not insult his majesty Mr. Potato.
"Why you're staring at me like you're watching a victim?" she asked me again.
"Please don't mind sister, later on, you would understand why I am looking at you like that? But now, would you please buy these so-called mud fruits" I told her and requested to buy these wonderful things.
She said, "There are a lot of these fruits present in our bran under horse keeper's care. Do you want to do something about it?"
Oh! My! God! Please forgive this ignorant one for not discovering you while sharing a common roof with you my lord!.
Watching my shocked face, elder sister Aidyn smiled and told me, "I don't care what you do, but you would have to include me and other siblings in your things." Nodding my head like chicken, I agreed with her. She turned to the seller and said, "Deliver 100 King Weight of Mud fruit to Wintersnow Manor."
Hmmm! What is King Weight?
Before I could ask her, someone called my elder sister from behind. "Team Leader Aydin" turning back, I found a rather good looking man calling her. Returning his greeting, she called back, "Squad Leader Elliot" and saluted him. Then she introduced me, "This is my youngest brother, Little Snow. Today, we would be getting his official name and other elemental results." There were many other military personals present in that group.
I was a little bit intimidated but instead of hiding behind my sister back, I decided to face them.
Nodding his head, he looked at me for evaluating me, and at the same time, I also started to evaluate him. He was handsome and looked really gentle but any man who is at the post of Squad Leader is no soft person.
For some reason, he suddenly started to laugh loudly in the middle of the market. "Good! Good! Good! You have really good eyes kid. Want to join the military like father, sister, and other brothers." He asked me. "Nah! Not interested" I moved my head to the sideways.
Both, my elder sister and Mr. Elliot were stunned. Then I suddenly heard another familiar laugh. It was my father who was laughing. Turning my head, I found both my father and mother along with my other siblings.
"Father" I shouted and ran towards him. He then picked me up and put me on his shoulder.
"Commander" everyone in the group shouted and saluted my dad. He nodded and asked me, "What are you doing here in the food market, Little Snow? I thought I would find you in the magic tech showroom but I found here. What are you doing here?" he looked at me and my sister.
My sister said, "We are buying some stuff. He wanted to do some kind of demonstration at home with these things." Looking again at me, she asked, "Do you still want to explore further this market?"
I made a thinking stance while staying up on my father's shoulder and replied, "Yes, I do. I want to find something similar to this Mud Fruit. Ummmmm! Do you know any that would be similar to mud fruit but would have purple color on its skin? They would be long and thick."
I asked everyone present at the moment, including the fruit seller.
