I ducked back down into the dungeon and spent all of ten minutes trawling through the first few rooms of the first floor of the dungeon. I took the time to kill five goblins and grab their magic stones. I wasn't sure how long one alone would last in Hestia's lamp, so I figured five would at least do till tomorrow and I'll make sure to get her more or better ones after that.
After all, with how many goblin and kobold magic stones I've eaten today, with the Infant Dragon's on top of it, I was sure to get a massive boost in my stats and become way stronger after Hestia updated my falna, and from there I would be able to go even deeper into the dungeon!
There was a spring in my step and a massive beaming grin on my face as I practically pranced my way back up out of the dungeon and through the streets of Orario. I had twenty nine thousand, five hundred valis to my name, and as such, despite how much I wanted to immediately rush home to Hestia and get my stats upgraded, I instead asked for some directions and made my way to the main shopping district.
Wanna know something interesting? This world has all manner of appliances similar the ones of my home world. Such as a fridge. They were much different from what I was used to mind you. They were basically like black cubes with transparent glass doors on the front. They looked more like the kind of cold coolers you'd see behind a bar than an actual fridge And they were expensive as hell. The only one I could afford right now, was a single cube shaped variation that reached up to just about my thighs in height.
It cost a whole twenty thousand valis. And a magic stone to power it was not included. So it was a good thing I actually went and murderized some goblins. Delivery would have cost me an extra thousand valis. Thankfully, I'm now a superhuman adventurer, I'm more than twice as physically able as I was yesterday. It was still quite heavy, but the shape of it made it more manageable.
From there, I splurged a bit more, dropping five thousand valis on an assortment of ingredients for cooking that I threw in the fridge itself to free up some room while carrying it and began my trek back to the church I'm gonna be staying in for a while with Hestia.
"Hmm?" I paused just as I walked by a clothing accessory shop, a flash of blue and white had caught my eyes.
Balancing the heavy fridge in my arms, I took a step back and peered into the display case behind the window. My eyebrows rising with interest as I began grinning, "So I wasn't just seeing things!" I laughed.
Sitting behind the window on the display case, was a set of hair white and blue hair ribbons, with bells attached to them. A very familiar set of hair ribbons. Hair ribbons that currently did not adorn the shiny black silky hair of my lovely, voluptuous patron goddess Hestia the Bestia.
My eyes settled on the price tag.
2,500.
Two thousand five hundred valis. A bit much for some hair ribbons, quite a bit more really, and I'd be down to only a mere two thousand valis, but eh, I don't care. I can literally basically grow currency with my magic power now with the Crystal Mantis armour I could make with my magic power.
Plus, they are kind of iconic with her look right, almost as much as her glorious boob string? And they'll totally score me some brownie points with her, right? It's a win, win, win, win win win. Honestly, all I do is win.
With that decided on, I squeezed my way through the entrance to the shop, fridge on my shoulder and called over to the cashier, a pretty little svelte thing with brown hair, "Hey, can you ring those up for me?" I asked her, with a smile that could totally have charmed the panties off of her if I felt like it.
"The bell ribbons?" she asked.
"Yeah, that's the ones." I nodded.
She blinked, looking at me weirdly, "You sure? We've been trying to sell them for a while, but nobody has wanted them since they're so expensive," the cashier, or clerk, whatever was more apt told me, casting a glance over her shoulder to a door behind the counter, and looking back at me when she saw nobody there, "They're apparently some adventurer smiths work, which is why they're going for so much, but who would really pay this much for some hair ribbons with something as silly as bells in them?"
"I don't make the rules love, I just abuse them." I shrugged, though I totally understood where she was coming from. What kind of stupid smith would design something like that?
"What?" she blinked, looking at me confused.
"Nothing important," I waved her off with my free hand, "So can you ring them up for me?" I repeated
"Don't say I didn't warn you," she sighed and shrugged, then eyed the fridge that had to weigh over a hundred pounds that I was casually carrying on one shoulder, "You look like a tough adventurer, and I don't want any trouble over such a silly thing later if you're unhappy with them, but if you're sure, that'll be 2,500 valis."
I barely resisted the urge to roll my eyes. And only because her logic is sound. The vast majority of adventurers are piece of shit bullies if Lili is anything to go by after all, even the non junkies outside of the Soma Familia treated her like shit.
The fools! Imagine driving a cute little short stack like that into hating you, just because you wanna get doped up on same pansy ass wine.
They should be drinking whiskey, like real men, like me! What, I'm underage? Eat shit nerd, fuck the police!
Anyway, I waved off the cashier slash clerks worries and paid the two thousand, five hundred valis for my bell adorned brownie points and squeezed my way back out of the shop and continued back to the U.S.S Love Nest.
Bow chika wow wow!
