The Most Satisfied Reincarnate

Chapter 25 - Missing(1)

-Outer City Gate-

After running for a long time, Desmond and Alice's bodies slowly became visible. Alice then opened her eyes and saw that they were already in the outer city.

"How did you do that?"

"It's a secret," Desmond replied expressionlessly.

*humph* Alice snorted while looking away, but after that, she spoke in a low tone, "Thanks."

*ahem* Desmond then looked at Alice and asked, "So why did we have to do that?" This time, he stared at Alice with a serious expression.

"Ehee… actually I want to surprise dad and mom by giving them flowers when they come back.

"But the guards are the most trusted people hired by mom and dad, so almost all of our activities will be reported to them. Is that still a surprise?" Alice asked while holding tightly one of Desmond's hands.

Desmond is silent seeing this; he waved one of his hands towards Alice's head and made a head chop.

'Ouch.' Alice was in pain while holding her head and looked at Desmond with fake anger.

"Next time, don't do it again without me; it will be dangerous." Desmond simply ignored Alice's gaze while looking at the area around him. "Now follow me, this time; let me look for the flower shop."

Desmond took Alice's hand and then started looking for the nearest flower shop.

After they'd finished buying flowers, Alice immediately rushed to take Desmond to the toy shop.

"Come on, come on, Desmond, hurry up."

"Fine, take it easy; the shop won't run away."

They ran until they finally reached the toy shop, the same shop when they first arrived in this kingdom.

"So, did you bring the money?"

Alice didn't answer right away, but she showed him the pouch containing quite a few gold coins.

"Okay, I'll wait at si…" Before Desmond could finish his words, he heard the sound of the door closing.

He just shook his head and waited.

After a few minutes of waiting, Alice came out with many bags containing toys. The bags also floated, so Alice didn't have to carry them.

"So, can we go home now?"

"I…" When Alice wanted to answer, Desmond heard a rumbling sound from her stomach. This made Alice's face turn red, and she suddenly lowered her head.

*sigh* "How could this happen? We just ate recently.

"Stay here and don't go anywhere. I'll buy you something."

There was a chair in front of the toy shop, where Desmond had previously sat to wait for Alice. Now Alice was sitting on it and nodding her head.

"Give me the money bag," Alice obeyed his orders very tamely without looking at his eyes. She only looked away while giving the pouch.

I wonder, will all girls be like this. 

Desmond then checks the pouch and took a few coins, giving the pouch back to Alice.

"Don't need a lot of money just to buy snacks."

Because this is the second time Desmond had been in the outer city, he was also curious about this city. He looked around while looking for the nearest restaurant or shop.

He saw a few small alleys leading to narrow spaces flanked by buildings in almost every street as he was walking.

That made him frown; he sped up his search and right at the end of the road, he found a small building that looked like a food stall.

Desmond walked over to the shop, which only had two small windows at each end of the shop; there was also a hole in the middle, enough for an adult's hand to enter; above that hole, there was also a glass showing the situation inside the shop.

When Desmond arrived at the shop, he saw the shop owner tidying something on the floor.

Desmond was impatient; he tried his best to smile while asking, "Excuse me, are you open now?"

The shop owner, who heard someone's voice immediately looked at Desmond; he stood while tidying his clothes, dust coming out every time he patted his clothes.

"Yes, I apologize earlier; my son dropped something," the shop owner said with a smile as he rubbed his head.

When the shop owner saw Desmond clearly, his smile grew wider, "So young master, what do you want to order? We also have ice cream here. "

The shop owner knew that the child in front of him must be someone from a wealthy family; he usually only offered ice cream to the rich kids. Besides making ice cream, which is quite difficult, the ingredients' price was also relatively high.

When the shop owner knows Desmond's taste, he does not feel strange because he also knows that making ice cream is very costly, "Alright, uncle, I'll order two pieces of ice cream."

"Alright, wait a minute."

After Desmond finished ordering, the shop owner went straight to his workplace, then the shop owner takes some milk and pours it into a large pot; he also sees the shop owner bring two glasses of water and cast a spell. The water in the glass suddenly turned into ice.

The ice then poured into the pan, and the shop owner closed his eyes while muttering something. After a few seconds, the pot's contents rotated by themselves until they became a sticky and soft texture. The shop owner took two wooden glasses and poured the cream into the glass.

From a jar filled with grated chocolate, the shop owner looked at Desmond, "Chocolate? Strawberry?"

Desmond, who saw the method of making ice cream for the first time, was dumbfounded, his mind awake when the shop owner asked, "Both chocolate."

The shop owner sprinkled the grated chocolate on the cream, then chanted another spell, and the cream that had been soft and sticky had slowly hardened.

"Done!" The shop owner then brings the two ice creams to Desmond.

"Total is 20 silvers."

Desmond then takes the money from his pocket. When he wanted to give him the coin, he realized it was a gold coin. As he rechecked his pocket, he saw that almost all the coins are gold coins.

Speechless, Desmond was forced to hand over one gold coin to the shop owner.

"Gold coins?" The shop owner was surprised. Earlier, when he saw Desmond checking his pockets, he thought Desmond didn't have any money and almost kicked him out.

"Just take the rest," Desmond replied as he took the two glasses of ice cream and walked away.

"Thank you, young master," the shop owner repeatedly bowed with a big smile on his face.

Desmond quickly walked towards the toy shop. The first time he saw the many narrow alleys in the outer city, he already felt an unpleasant thing.

"Fuck!" Desmond had been unaware of his behavior, being forced by the spell to leave Alice alone. 

He hastily accelerated his pace again, 

Why didn't the system tell me ?!

[System Conclusion: Host has been notified by the system before, but host's mind is full of thinking woman behavior]

"Okay, I know this is my bad. Alice, I hope you're okay."

Once there, Desmond couldn't find Alice; he only saw a toy doll lying in front of the toy shop.
