Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 174 Awkward Moment.

"That was good ~!" Zoe shouted as we got out of the store after she paid for the meal.

She said she would pay for everything today, and though it didn't go well with her, I managed to give her the money for Zoe's shopping.

Zoe was my responsibility and so did her shopping.

She can pay for everything else for all she wanted, but the shopping was a different matter.

And... what the hell were they buying, spending hundred and eighty gold in that short time?

I would believe if it was only some dress and jewelry or make-up, food, toys and stuff like that but... spending hundred and eighty gold in that short time?

In a city's market, no less.

What will they do if I left them in the capital's market that was at least six times bigger than this one?

They would just throw hundreds of gold for useless things like that.

...not that I minded or anything.

They can spend hundreds of platinum and more if they wanted and I would give them more than that happily.

Just that I... was someone who would use the least amount where it was needed.

It was just a habit, but I didn't like just spending on things that would have no actual use to me.

Well, I had a lot of money to do whatever the hack I wanted in this life and last too.

I can make my own town, city, or even kingdom if I wanted but, why would I do such useless things when I can just live my life quietly?

And she was here with me, too.

Rein was a good person, too attractive to dislike in any manner.

And I knew she would have given the best price for anything Zoe bought today.

I had no interest in what they did so, I just focused on what was to come.

I had spent thirty-six platinum myself. What would I even say to these ladies?

That was thirty-six thousand gold and... that was a lot.

So I was a bigger shopping junkie than these sweet ladies.

How does the old crow grandpa feel while with them? Like me or even more exhausted than me?

Ladies... will always be complicated beings.

"Eon. Should we go to the communication center now? We should call your home and let them know... 'the hero has returned~'. Hehehe."

She was definitely hiding something about this hero thing, but I knew I will find out, eventually.

But the way she was making fun of me was getting to me now.

That fries thing was also new for her. I knew in her long life I was the first one to have acted like this.

But that was who I was. She will have to find a way to deal with this if she wanted me- to be my true friend.

Looking into her crescent eyes, I smiled back and nodded with joy.

"Lead the way, madam Reinelle. This humble one will follow wherever the great one leads."

These cringe words made her silent for a moment, then, looking at me, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha... Eon~! That one was new. You... boy~. Saying as if you will follow even to the hell."

She found it funnier than it was for some reason and that smile... that genuine, radiant smile on her pretty face...

"Of course. To hell, heaven, just... say the word." Some words blankly escaped my mouth for some reason and that made me stop instantly.

She looked at me with eyes that were as serious as when talking about fries.

Though my words were unexpected to even me, I really meant them for some reason.

And this made her blush... the same one she had in the forest.

That red face, really, I found it the second cutest thing for some reason.

Even though she was in her disguise, my normal eyes were more than enough to see her in her true form than this one.

She was captivating in these eyes, but that was it... for now.

"Ahem. Shell we?" I said and extended my hand, making her come out of her similar train of thoughts.

"O-oh. Yes. L-let's go~." Without saying much, she just started walking... in the wrong direction.

"Big sister~! We have to go this way, right~? Hehehe."

Whenever something like this happens between us, this little one gets so happy that I feel that her long-cherished wish had been fulfilled.

Did my grandma know I would meet her or something?

Well... even though it might be possible, Zoe wasn't grandma.

This fun was her own, and I knew just how much she liked watching us like that.

But what was there to watch?

We were just two friends chatting and having fun, that's it.

Shaking my head, I looked at her back and shook my head.

What was happening here?

Well... hell.

She also shook her head, somewhat embarrassed and angry, and started 'walking' in the right direction.

That was quite a fast walking and if not for the fact that it actually was just walking for her, I would have thought she was running for a medal.

"Hehehe..."

[[ Hahaha... ]]

[[ *Huhuhu...* ]]

These three... what was I supposed to do?

And why was it suddenly hot?

Shaking my head, I grabbed Zoe's hand, and we 'walked' behind her, passing through the crowded street at a fast speed.

Today has been going as one of the weirdest days of my life and it was only half finished.

The other half of the day was still ahead of us.

Standing before one of the biggest and most secured buildings in the city, we wondered at this structure.

This communication center was mostly used to receive and deliver letters and special messages.

This was a giant five-story building, colored in white and green with different designs all over it.

This was a nice first impression, and she wasn't saying anything now.

Was she... angry at me or something?

Nah. I didn't do anything for a female to be angry at me.

Not that I knew.

She just silently walked in and we followed her behind, as quiet as her.

Even my little sister was hesitant about the thought of meeting someone from my family for the first time.

Well, there was nothing to worry about or anything like that.

If anything, I knew everyone would love her.

And there was my Anna.

Why wouldn't she love a lovely sister like her?

On the other hand, I knew Anna and Zoe would love to be together.

But right now, we have to first contact them.

We walked through the giant, open gates and the inside of this communication center office entered our eyes.

And this was the most fanatical place I had seen in my life.
