Chapter 22 - Rich

Raine was feeling motivated.

To go and slay all kind of nightmare creatures and collect memories for his sword.

He still couldn't get anything other then a sword from the spell but that didn't bother him anymore.

His sword liked to destroy other blades. That's why he thought to gift her a lot of blades to release her feelings when she finally returned.

'I need to activate my serious mode again. Hmmmm...hmm...

"Ok, I'm ready now." Raine said in a deep voice. Trying to sound like Madara Uchiha.

But... Wait...

'Now then Prisma is gone, how will I fight?'

'I need a damage dealer.....'

He stared at Sunny,..... Sunny stared back.

Sunny looked at him like something was about to happen.

"Sunny....." A deep voice was heard.

"Sunless.....Man, why is your name so guffy sounding, you need a serious sounding name, something like dark lord, or maybe..mhh ...what about Shadow. ...yeah that sounds cool, .. Shadow.. Lord Shadow...nah,... that's too much...just Shadow is fine....so from now on I'll call you Shadow."

"Mhhh.... Shadow!" Raine said in a deep voice.

Sunny didn't reply. He couldn't believe this bastard was renaming him just like that...

"Shadow.."

"Ok, enough you bastard, get serious for once, don't change my name like you can do anything you like ....." Sunny said in anger.

"Well, that's what I was looking for. A bit of seriousness. Perfect.... Now let's discuss the plan ahead." Raine said in seriousness. Really serious this time.

'Is this guy for real... He just changed his behaviour from funny to serious in a second.'

"Ok, that's what I wanted too." Sunny also said in a serious tone.

"Now then, for our deal, you are going to collect the Fragments for my blade, right? I am also going to collect some awesome memories for her, ..so how about we work together as a team. Me as a support and you as a damage dealer, what do you say?" Raine asked Sunny.

"And let me tell you, I'm the ultimate support there ever will be, ask Prisma when you see her, she will tell you how awesome I am. Together we created rivers of blood of nightmare creatures. Ask her when you will see her Or maybe not... she don't talk to anyone other then me....well, we actually haven't tried that....no, serious, serious..."

He waited for Sunny's response. Which came as..

"I need payment."

"Payment? Off course, you know what they say, if you are talented, don't give your services for free. So let's see, payment...."

"How about you take the kills and I take everything else? No, doesn't sound good enough, how about you take the kills and also their meat.... How does that sound?" Raine asked in serious tone.

"I want the shards, half of them." Sunny said.

"Deal. ....But Wait.. I need the memories too and that won't be possible if you kill everything, no, let me see, I actually have enough swords as a gift, but upgrading her won't be easy. ..Mmm, ok we got a deal, all the swords will be mine, and you can take half the shards, sounds good?"

"Deal." Sunny replied.

"Well looking forward to a good partenerahip, Sunless."

"Yeah, same." Sunny replied.

.....

.....

"Ok, let's go, we should start right away."

"Wait... I'm not going with you anywhere if you are gonna move in that." Sunny pointed at his nun costume.

"Oh, this, they are actually very comfortable, you know, and.... since I'm not wearing anything underneath, I'm feeling a different kind of freedom too, you see."

Sunny didn't knew what to say.

"But if you want me to wear something else... Let's see what else is in the closet." Raine opend the closet, and started looking for something else.

"Ok, no need, you can wear my clothes, they are better then.... whatever you will find in it."

"Really? But you are so short, I don't think I could move in those pants of yours, let me look again, there must be something suitable here." Raine again started looking inside the closet.

"Fine, you bastard, I'll give you my armour for now, but we are going to the castle first to get you some clothes,...I SAID I'LL GIVE YOU MY ARMOUR, PUT THAT BRA DOWN RIGHT NOW. ...oh, for spell sake, stop that you pervert!."

....

....

....

"That Nun had a really impressive collection back there, she had a good taste." Raine said.

"And why are you interested in that, you freak, didn't you say those things are distraction," sunny shouted. "....anyway those things should be left alone by men." Sunny was walking beside this pervert who once said that womens were ultimate distraction.

" Let me tell you something my friend, What's important is the intention, not the action. if your mind is clean, you don't have to be ashamed of anything, but if your mind is full of dirty thoughts...." Raine stared at Sunny.... Sunny thought this man was looking at his soul.

'Why is it that I'm being judged by this pervert, I didn't do anything, dammit!'

They moved towards the castle as sun set in horizon.

....

....

Sunny was wearing regular clothes, a bit rough, while he has given his Nice silk looking armour to the man walking beside him.

"We need to be careful, I don't know what is going in outer settlement after...that day... that's why we are taking a detour to reach the castle." Sunny said.

"This might be the only change so I brought all the soul shards I had."

"How much are they?" Raine asked.

"About one twenty or something... But they are enough to buy you something to wear and some trash type memories for my ...Saint." said sunny.

"Well, don't worry about memories for now, I have a nice plan to get them....but that will come later." Raine said to Sunny.

Sunny looked at the man who sounded confident in his plan.

He just nodded.

....

....

After paying at the castle gates, they both got in. Just for two soul shards.

"We are looking for a place to buy some clothes for this man.." sunny said while looking like he was the one in need of them compair to the man wearing silk leather armour.

"Ok, go ask someone on second floor, they will show you the way to cloth shop." The guide said.

"Actually can we get some garments type memories..." Sunny asked the man.

The guide looked back at them. Sunny hid the shards pouch behind his back.

"That will require payment, knowledge is very valuable here, you see." The Guide said.

Sunny brought a single soul shard from his makeshift pouch, which was made by closing the ends of Nun dress.

The guard looked at the pouch with greed but turned around anyway.

"Follow me." The guard lead them.

To the memory market.

....

....

....

Stev was bored.

There were no customers, as always.

'When will I retire from this boring job?'

Ting...

"Customer.." Stev stood up, triying to look presentable.

"Welcome, dear guests...what would you like to buy.." Stev said to him customers.

Two people entered, one with silver white hair who looked like a legacy, and the other one, with black hair, must be his servent.

"We are looking for a garment type memory, give me the best one you got." The legacy said.

"Off course sir, I'll bring the beat ones for you to choose." Stev got excited, this man looked loaded.

He moved deeper in the shop and looked for something good.

He found one, a white male gown looking dress with golden patterns, something that will be worn by a prince of Victorian Era it also had a cape which was purple from Inside.

This item was here for a long time because it was considered expensive for just a garment type memory.

"This is one of the best memories we have available, sir. It also come with self cleaning, and it also keeps the wearer clean. Perfect for a legacy like you. But if you want something else I can show you som-"

"I'll take it." The legacy said.

'what? .... He didn't even asked for price....I really caught a big fish this time.'

"Of course sir, your really have a great eye for items. Whoud you like something else?" Stev said in a flattening tone.

'Why is that servent making that face?'

"Hmm.... I actually want a illumination type memory, if you have any. Something suitable for the darkness of this place." said the legacy.

"Right away sir, I'll bring the best one for you."

Stev once again went to find something suitable.

This was his chance to get rid of expensive items.

So this time he brought a matalic bruch with a dark glowing gem.

"Here sir, This is a rare charm that allows the wearer to see in darkness as if it's daytime, it also has a strange effect that will make your eyes glow beautifully in the night. it was droped from a powerful creature which used night as cover to hide and hunt others. So that's the best memory we have. But if you want a-"

"I'll take that too."

'Damn, is this my lucky day or what? With this much money I can go on a vacation..' Stev thought.

"Anything else you like to buy sir?"

"Hmmm... I don't need anything else, ... Sunny, do you what to buy something?' the legacy asked his servent, which only rose his image in Stev eyes.

'Say yes, say yes, say yes...'

"No..., I don't think I can... get something right now..."

'Damn that Servent, if I were in his place, i would have brought this whole shop...' Stev thought, angry at not being able to to make more profit.

"Mmm, that armour,.. yeah at the corner that..the black one .... I'll take that too." Legacy said.

"Of course sir, here's your three items, whoud you like anything else, let me show you our weapon secti-"

"No need, that won't be necessary. I have enough weapon to raise a small army. So no, just give me the total." The legacy said.

"Off course sir" 'Stupid, stupid, stupid, why did I brought up weapons, i could have shown him other charms I had, but no, you have to utter weapon first, now he asked for total, means he won't buy anything else, what a waste...'

'Ok, let's calculate.... That garment should be about thirty shards, and that charm will go for around same, as for that armour that's just garbage that won't even sell, so that will be total around sixty shards...'

"That will be hundred shards sir, and the armour is on the house, off course. We will like you to visit us regularly so it's a token of goodwill."

"Hundred shards..... Sunny....." The legacy looked at his servent who for some reason was not moving.

'what a rude servent, I hope he will get punished for this. That's the least he deserves for not buying anything from me.'

"Sunny.... Sunless.....SHADOW..." The servent finally moved.

He reach the counter....

And placed the whole pouch he was carrying on the counter.

'what a strange pounch... But that sound of soul shards hitting each other.... Damn, I want to count them right now..... But that will be considered rude if I do it in front of our customers.' Stev thought.

"If you'll excuse me sir..." Stev brought his hand forward.

The legacy shook his hand. 'What a humble man, most of them would leave this to their Servents' Stev thought and transferred the memories.

"Ok, let's go Sunny...." They begun to move.

"See you soon, sir, it was pleasure doing busine-" The legacy stopped. So Stev Stoped speaking too.

"Hay, do you have a storage type memory?" The legacy asked as if he had forgotten it until now.

'Storage type?.... I only have one, and that was given to me by bright lord himself to run this buisness....I don't think there are any other storage type memories in dark castle...The Lord have one..... And I heard that a giantess from outskirts possess one but refuse to sell it even to any lieutenants.'

"Off course we have sir, but .... You see they are very rare so they are very expensive..."

"How much?" Legacy asked as if he could easily buy them.

Stev didn't have any to sell. He couldn't give away the one he had, because it was technically not his, it was bright lords.

But he also didn't want to give the legacy the impression that this shop was short on them. That will leave a bad image, and Stev wanted this legacy to come again here for shopping.

That's why he did the only thing that was suitable for this whole situation. The servent wasn't carrying anything else so that means they won't have any soul shards right now.

As for not mentioning this in future again....

"That will be one thousand soul shards sir..."

"One thousand? ..Ok, I'll go bring them....." saying this the legacy left. The servent followed behind but he was moving slowly.

Stev couldn't stop them.

He just stood frozen.

'I am dead.'
