"do you wanna go to my place?" Lea says as she walks out of the store with Neo
"sure"
after walking in silence for a bit Neo decided to speak up
"so what kind of thing do you like to do for fun"
"mostly read and play video games, what about you"
"same here,-" Neo decided to speak in the language he and is friends came up with, if she understood him he could be sure it was Lea's reincarnation "what games do you like?"
in inpese Lea replied "elden ring, I'm guessing you do too"
'there is no way she hasnt reincarnated too'
in inpese "yeah, -"
Lea interupts "here we are," opening the door "come on in"
walking in Neo makes a comment on how nice her house is
"thanks, I try to keep it clean. come on, we both like video games"
"oh cool, what games do you have"
"nothing much, but I'm sure I have something you like"
after hanging out and playing games they exchange numbers and agree to meet again later
'dang, she even has the same phone number'
while they were chatting Neo learned that she had applied to varian academy, where people who have awakened their lineage go to reach higher levels and more awakenings.
'I should apply too' Neo thought to himself as he was walking to get the next thing on his shopping list for miracle medicine ingredients.
he needed some rainplum extract next.
from his knowledge of this world he knew exactly where to get some for cheap.
==============================
after arriving at Dahmer's Flavors Neo was greeted by an array of scents and colours
"what could I get for you today" said a store clerk with a sly smile on his face and rubbing his hands together
"some rainplum extract"
'the clerk is exactly as I remember. I need to be careful'
"some rainplum extract huh, we have a nice array of it."
"would you like some of this flavor, it's directly from the zergonian forrests, or what about this one, made by the flavor masters of bablyonia, or -"
cutting off the clerk Neo said "just the basic kind"
"okay... well follow me to the counter so we can get your mon- I mean get you that"
while leading Neo back to the checkout counter the clerk tried convincing Neo to buy some other things, though Neo ignored it.
"okay dear customer that will be $15, will you be using any discounts today"
"yes, discount code '30435271', and that should be all"
"okay" inputting the code "now your due balance is $2.58, just tap there and the transaction should be done"
as Neo tapped his credit card on the scanner he looked around, just like in the game if Neo hadn't transferred the sufficient amount, he would be swallowed whole.
the clerk didnt even try to hide the seams in reality.
"thank you for your help, if I ever need any unique flavors I'll definitely come back"
========================
stepping into his house he was reminded of how slobbily he lived
though for now that could be ignored, after all, his older brother was the disgustingly rich owner of the Barbartos & Co. company
eventually a maid would come and clean everything up
the last thing he needed was the most difficult to get
