"Ma'am, how much is this razor-fang fish?" Lena asks a woman selling various types of fish.
"Fifty bronze coins each!" The seller replies with a smile.
"Okay, I will take four," Lena says, handing the woman two silver coins.
"Should I cut it up for you?" The seller asks, removing four of the fish from their hook.
"Yes, please," Lena replies to the woman. And without further ado, the woman brings out a sharp machete and starts cutting the fish.
As you can guess, after leaving the guild, we headed towards this market to buy some groceries. I have learned quite a lot of things about this world, an example being the currency.
One hundred bronze coins, which is the lowest currency, is equivalent to one silver coin. And one hundred silver coins are equivalent to one gold coin.
Looking at the way Lena doesn't hesitate to buy whatever she wants, I can tell without a doubt that she is a foodie. Moreover, I gave her twenty silver coins out of my money for groceries since I will now start living with her. Besides, I didn't do much on the mission.
{I am glad she was happy about you giving her money for the groceries.}
Yeah, me too. She's sincere.
After the seller cuts the large fish into pieces, she puts them into two separate plastic bags.
"Owen, I can't put the fish in my space ring as it has already reached its limit. Do you mind carrying the fish?" Lena asks me while giving me a bright smile.
*BA-DUM*
"It's... it's just fish. Of course, I will carry it," I say, picking up the bags.
"Really? That's so cute of you."
The moment I pick up the bags, though, I instantly regret my decision and my face instantly turns red from strain.
"T-This..."
"Heavy right, it's part of your training, fufu~" Lena giggles mischievously in my ears.
These bags... They are about thirty pounds each, thereby making them sixty pounds in total. How can these fishes have such an insane amount of weight?

"When are we going to get there Lena?!" I ask as I run after Lena, barely catching up to her while carrying two bags weighing sixty pounds.
While I am sweating buckets right now, Lena is causally strolling in comparison.
"Where the fuck is your house?!" I bellow, getting impatient as I am already hitting my limit having to run up this hilltop.
Compared to before, my strength has exponentially improved. With my current strength and agility, I can easily take down ten to twenty men at the same time back on Earth. However, such a level of strength is useless in this world.
"I told you earlier that this is part of your training. Also, my house is up on the mountains," Lena replies, increasing her momentum.
Fuck my left nut.
Darkus, give me full access to the system's inventory.
{Alright, master.}
Suddenly, I put the two bags into my inventory when I notice that Lena is not looking back, and the moment she is about to turn around, I remove the bags from my inventory.
I repeat this process several times, however, even Lena starts to get suspicious as my sweat has dried up at this point and my movements getting more fluid. However, since she didn't see me with any space ring, she couldn't wrap her head around what exactly was going on.
______________________________
Currently, we are standing in front of a small bungalow that's painted white with a detached roof and a huge chimney protruding from it. There's also an insanely large amount of space in the courtyard and wooden spikes placed on the fence around the house. Apart from this house, there are several other houses similar to this particular building and they all seem to have used the same design.
"Well... This is your new home, Owen," Lena says, gesturing with her hand as she shows me her house with a smile.
"Oh... It's beautiful," I comment.
"Thank you, let's go inside," She says, lightly tugging on my jacket. Nodding my head, I follow her inside.
Upon entering the house, I am greeted by a sweet feminine scent that calms my nerves and relieves me of all the stress I just went through.
Scanning the room, I realize that we are currently in her living room. It's a modest living room with simple pieces of furniture such as three red couches, a small round table, and other things.
"Waaaaah~!!! Sister is back," suddenly, a girl around Lena's height and the same stature comes running out of the room before hugging Lena tightly.
Separating herself from Lena, the girl looks at me from top to bottom, her brown eyes fluttering in quick succession.
"Sister, you finally have a boyfriend, huh…? But he is human," The girl mutters, her eyes still fixed on me.
"S-Stop jumping to conclusions, Reiko. He is not my boyfriend," Lena mutters in a low voice, her face turning slightly red in embarrassment.
"Haa~ I am sorry about that, sis," She apologizes to Lena and turns towards me. "My name is Reiko, I'm Lena's sister, and you?" Reiko says with a deep bow, her cute eyes looking at me curiously.
"My name is Owen, I'm Lena's friend," I answer while giving a small bow too.
"Owen, you and Reiko are about the same age, she is going to be 18 in a few weeks, I hope you both get along," Lena reveals.
"I see..." Me and Reiko mutter simultaneously, our eyes locking for a few moments before she averts her gaze first.
"Reiko~ Owen is going to be living with us. And what is up with the clothes you are wearing?" Lena asks while looking at Reiko weirdly.
"He is going to be staying with us? That's... Surprising. And what is wrong with what I'm wearing?" Reiko asks, looking down at her clothes.
I also become curious about the clothes she is wearing since I didn't really take note of it earlier.
W-what...
She's wearing a pink see-through singlet that shows her protruding nipples along with the outline of her toned petite body, and a short skirt that barely hides her blue panty.
"Kyaaaaaah!!!! I hate you, sis," Reiko, shouts In embarrassment, before running into her room.
