What a beautiful day. It was a great day to celebrate Gerald's departure. Throughout her journey, Katarine hummed happily. He chose items that he thought were beautiful with a feeling of joy. Finally, he could use the money for himself.
Katarine raised her head. Enjoy the beautiful blue sky. That day was very bright. Katarine's heart is now.
Katarine put her foot forward to continue her walk. Looks like the woman is really in a good mood. He even walked while jumping around in excitement. In fact, the person he was going through thought the woman was strange.
Unlike again with Gerald who was forced to accompany Katarine shopping for the party later that afternoon. The young man walked over while dragging his steps. He was tired of following the woman around the city.
If you look at their bodyguards in the back, it's very clear that they're overcrowded by Katarine's groceries. Even their faces were already covered by those shopping bags.
"Why didn't he bring his own magic bag anyway?" complains one of Katarine's guards.
"Hurry up a little, you guys walk like snails. Snails alone may be faster than you," said Katarine, who seemed to hear the bodyguard's complaint.
"Can't we rest for a while? I'm getting tired, my legs can't be compromised" Gerald bargained.
Katarine stopped her steps for a moment. He stared at Gerald. Event time is a little more. There is no time to relax.
"Well let's go home, there's still a decor waiting before the show starts. I hope my dear has everything ready" Katarine said cheerfully as she mentioned her husband.
Gerald wanted to vomit to hear it. In addition to being envious because she was still single, she was also unfamiliar with the affectionate call between Harmin and Katarine. His ears were bleeding when he heard it.
"You're not coming?" ask Katarine who saw Gerald just keep quiet.
Gerald shook his head and said, "First off my feet still cannot be compromised. I'm gonna take a break here for a second,"
Katarine was silent for a moment. He directed his eyeballs towards the side where Gerald was standing. Katarine immediately smiled her slanted smile and looked at Gerald.
"All right, it's up to you. Don't spend a lot of money, yeah. Dah~"
The bewildered Gerald immediately looked at the building beside him. There he could see an adult toy store. Well~you know what.
"It's not what you think!!!!" gerald shouted at Katarine who had walked very far away from him.
The young man sighed and went to a nearby chair to rest. He rubbed his feet that felt sore. He looks like a teenage boy. Just a short walk, it's been aching.
"I think I'm lacking in sports. What about my magic later huh?" lamented Gerald.
It is true, magic power depends on the magician's stamina. If the magician is tired, then the effectiveness of his magic will decrease. Therefore, many witches are diligent in exercising to increase their stamina, but some are not.
However, the way they increase stamina depends on each person. But, of course, the most common thing to increase stamina is to exercise.
"Hey, kid, are you a witch?" ask for a voice.
Gerald immediately turned his face to face the source of the sound. There, he could see a man in his 30s looking at him with a smile.
"I'm sorry I'm not interested in buying" Gerald said indifferently.
Lately many sales of magic goods sales are quite annoying. If Gerald is a little kind, he's afraid he'll come. So, inevitably Gerald ignored the man.
Gerald was reluctant to turn his face away. At first glance, the man was similar to his friend Mage. His black hair, his glasses, even in terms of his face was almost similar. Gerald wondered if this man in front of him was a relative of his friend.
"Oh, don't misunderstand me, son. I just want to offer you a magic training facility. If you are interested, please visit us. It just so happened that we just opened," said the man, giving Gerald a leaflet.
"Here you can practice magic, increase stamina, and practice armed abilities. If you take a package it costs only 150 mont."
Gerald narrowed his eyes doubtfully. This opportunity came too coincidentally with his situation. The young man began to suspect the man before him and began to look at him closely.
The bespectacled man who did not know the meaning of Gerald's gaze could only smile and wait for an answer from him. The man immediately reached into his pants pocket. He took one of his business cards and gave it to Gerald.
"I'm Alven. Our place is very credible. Got the license and certificate. Coincidentally our building is near here, do you want to take a look?" obviously the guy.
He thought Gerald suspected him of being a fraud and became hesitant about becoming a member.
"Son? Why daydream? Our building is only two buildings away. It's also on a big road."
As if to know what Gerald was thinking, Alven immediately explained in his soft voice like a salesman.
Embarrassed as if he were reading, Gerald cleared a small thud. He immediately asked Alven to show him the way to his place of business.
...****************...
Gerald was unceasingly amazed. Arriving at the building where Alven worked, he was immediately taken to the magic training ground. The room is still quiet, there are no customers, but the room is very spacious and is suitable for training.
At first the young man was not too sure when he saw the front view of his building. How not? From the outside, the building looked small, seedy, and fragile. Well~although there is a little renovation, but still the building is not promising.
But when looking in it, Gerald was amazed and astonished. How could a room as large as that not be detected at all from the outside. If only the outward appearance was improved, he was sure this place had many fans.
"This is where you can practice as much as you can, whether it's your magic or your physical strength. Take it easy, this room can't be destroyed no matter how strong you are."
Gerald again amazed. A room that cannot be destroyed as hard as you. The young man's eyes began to sparkle. He couldn't wait to tell his parents this.
However, the young man's smile suddenly disappeared. He just remembered now that he was a vagrant who only hitched a ride in Alphrolone dormitory. A dime of money he didn't have because his parents refused to give him more. The money left to him was only about 900 monts.
Again, the young man was stingy enough to buy him the money. Though the money was enough for him to survive and pay for Alven's services, he hesitated with himself.
Gerald is a lazy man. From childhood he did not want to try to find money because of his wealthy parents. But now he's not the son of the rich, he's just an unemployed and homeless man. Given that, it felt like Gerald wanted to cry just lamenting his fate.
"Sorry sir, I don't think I can afford the cost. Thanks."
Gerald was about to leave from there, but he was intercepted by Alven quickly. The man pulled Gerald slowly to his original place and took out his gray magic bag.
"The payment can be paid, son, if you sign here, here, and here we will give a discount of up to 70% so that per month only need to pay 105 mont only. How's it?"
Gerald's stunned. Turns out he met a pretty shitty salesman. Damn it, he entered the salesman's world.
"Because it happens that you are also our first customer, we will add a 20% discount%. So if you count, every month you only have to pay 21 mont. Very cheap, right? So how interested is it to join?" continued Alven.
Gerald's eyes sparkled again. Without a second thought he agreed to Alven's offer and signed the contract that floated before him. The young man was unceasingly smiling gleefully. Alven also smiled with excitement because he managed to lure one customer.
No, actually Alven is smiling a little cunningly. Gerald was his first customer that he managed to gaet. Of course he gave promising-sounding discounts to the innocent young man.
"All right, I'll take you out" Alven said after Gerald finished signing the documents.
Gerald's steps became light. He forgot that he was tired after going around earlier. The young man had intended to stop by Alven's place to train before going to Alphrolone's dormitory.
Alven's sweet smile ushered in Gerald's departure. Unexpectedly, the young man paid a dp of 40 mont. Of course it added to make Alven want to drain the money belonging to the innocent young man.
"Boss, you're too cruel to children" said an orange-haired woman braided in two.
"Just shut up. It's for our business. Who knows if it turns out he's easily fooled" Alven replied.
The man took off the jacket he was wearing to get out and hung it on a hanger near the cash register. Alven then turned to the room he had entered with Gerald earlier and said, "I'll be busy for a while, you keep the shop here."
"Good, boss."
A green-colored light began to surround the door held by Alven. The man disappeared when he crossed the door. Leaving that woman named Noya alone.
Before long, someone came to Alven's shop. Friendly, Noya greets him and asks what is necessary.
"Ehmmm~ I found this flyer on the street, can I see your facility? All right, I'd like to sign up if your gear is good" said one customer girl.
"Okay, I'm sorry about who I'm talking to?" ask Noya politely.
"Lacy's. Lacy Deandris"
