Petrel

Chapter 9

The next day I woke up quite early and in a simply wonderful mood, a beautiful red-haired girl was lying in my arms, we had money to live on and today we would go shopping. Although I was not a fan of too long shopping trips in my past life, the main problem was the lack of energy and money. Now I have a body literally bursting with energy, including magical energy, and as for shopping, I don't need to buy clothes thanks to the seed, so we will be shopping for Elsa and I simply have to visit the local forge. I'm sure Elsa won't mind either.

Despite all my joy from the anticipation of today, I was in no hurry to get up and let go of the sweetly sleeping princess and patiently waited for her to wake up, enjoying the moment.

The sun had already begun to shine through the window and only then did a certain sleeping beauty wake up.

"Good morning," I said to the girl, who was rubbing her eyes and not fully awake.

"Good," Elsa answered sleepily.

- Let's go eat and go shopping. - I said, already dressed in a dress similar to the one Wendy wore in canon. - You need to buy quite a lot of clothes and it would be nice to visit the forge and try to arrange for blacksmithing lessons so that you can make weapons and armor for yourself. Well, after shopping, I suggest talking to the master about a part-time job and training. For this, we will need to buy training swords and spears.

"What's the spear for?" asked Elsa.

- I'll show you now. - I said and summoned the Spear that my mother gave me. - This spear was given to me along with a bow for my 10th birthday. And with the re-equipment magic, in my opinion, it would be good for you to learn how to use a spear and a bow in addition to swords. By the way, I forgot to tell you one more thing. I have something like magic that gives me knowledge on how to do something the more I do it, so you and I won't have any problems finding a fencing teacher.

"I don't know why, but I felt like calling you a cheater," the girl answered me calmly.

-Cough- I even started coughing, not expecting such an answer, and decided to change the subject. - In any case, we still have a lot to buy, so let's go to the guild bar. - Taking Elsa by the hand, I pulled her out of the room, which I locked with a key, and we went to have breakfast.

Behind the bar we were met by the same joyful Lisa and the guild hall filled with life. Wherever you looked, someone was talking to someone, children about our age were running here and there, and some boy was standing near the board with tasks. And I can only assume that this is young Nab, who in the future is quite famous for constantly looking for tasks on the board, but at the same time does not complete any of them, saying that he is looking for a task that only he could do. If only I knew what kind of money he lived on without completing tasks.

-What will you have, girls? - Lisa distracted me from my thoughts. - I'll probably have some scrambled eggs and a glass of milk.

"Me too," Elsa decided to support my choice.

- By the way, Lisa, - I called Lisa, to which she nodded that she was listening. - And I could borrow or buy some kind of bag from you to put my purchases in.

-Yes, of course, I'll bring it now.- Soon she returned with a rather large red bag.- Here, you can keep this. We have plenty of them already.

- Thank you very much! - I happily answered her, taking a rather high-quality bag, which will most likely be able to accompany us for quite a long time even on missions.

After eating, we finally set off to the market square. The first thing we did was go buy clothes for Elsa and I could only be surprised that the prices were quite low, around 1000 gems for one set of clothes. In the end, we bought 5 different sets, including underwear, towels and bed linen, spending 8600 gems on everything. Next, we had to buy kitchen utensils and empty lacrimas for 100 gems each, so that we could then fill them with lightning magic and use them to power the stove in our room. We spent another 10,000 gems on a full set of all of this, but at least the dishes weren't something we'd have to replace too often. The next stop we unanimously decided was to visit a grocery store and fortunately buying a kilogram of regular meat, unlike magic meat, was quite cheap, so for only 1000 precious we were able to buy food for at least 3 days, but then I remembered that we would need to store food somewhere, so this time we went to the artefact maker to buy a refrigerator, which cost us the most, 40,000 precious. Having bought a lacrima filled with cold magic for 5000 and having put the food in the refrigerator, I lightened it all with a spell, as a result I had a bag on my back that was almost 3 times bigger than me, but thanks to magic, it was no heavier than a feather.

It was already midday and before going to the blacksmith, it would be better to eat first, so I decided to go to a cafe with Elsa.

"How about a little snack and something sweet?" I asked my friend, who was clearly tired of shopping.

"Yes, that would be good," Elsa answered me tiredly.

- Don't worry, after the cafe we'll only go to the blacksmith, and then we'll rest a bit. Besides, I want to cook something tasty for dinner. - I remember how to make chebureki from my previous life, from my student days, and I doubt that it will be more difficult for me to make them now, and fortunately there is ketchup in this world.

The cafe we chose was quite small but cozy, we calmly ate a fairly standard dish of mashed potatoes with meat tenderloin and to top it all off a salad with milk, why milk? Because I still remember rumors that milk helps breast growth, although adult Wendy and Elsa didn't seem to have any problems with this, but why not play it safe, especially since milk is delicious. For dessert, I ordered us each a piece of strawberry cake. And yes, just by Elsa's face I can tell that she found her love, although for me, strawberry cake also evokes nostalgia. After all, strawberry cake was the first sweet I ate in this life. But there was a minus in strawberry cake. If you don't cook it yourself, 1 cake will cost almost 500 precious ones, but seeing the determination in each other's eyes, I'm sure that we will quickly master the science of making cakes, especially strawberry ones.
