BXBX NOVEL Chapter 121 - Offer And Departure
"Two choices? What choices are these? If I agree with the choices, then you got a deal."
"Alright. As I still don\'t trust you, I will ask you to choose between these two. The first choice is for you to send your sister here and let her live here and I won\'t charge money. However, you guys will have limited access to the facilities and you cannot fully utilize whatever things are currently being installed in this house. You guys will have to ask me for anything to do here."
"That... that offer is a little bit bad for us. Although it\'s free, I wanted my sister to have the freedom she can get. What about the second offer?"
"Hmm, I thought you would agree since it is free but since you seem to be dissatisfied with the offer, therefore, I will give you another offer. This time, I will allow you to live here for a fee. In short, you guys will be able to live here with rent. You guys will have freedom on what to do but you are restricted to some parts of the house unless I consent it like my room. You guys will pay me monthly for 100,000 yen per month. How is that?"
"100,000 yen for a month? So cheap! Are you sure about that?!"
I thought he would interject hearing my price but I guess rich people have no care for prices if they can afford it.
"So what is it?"
"Of course it is the second option. Although I can\'t buy this house, as long as my sister can move around freely, then that is alright."
"Are you going to move right away?" I asked him.
"No. We still have a few things to process. We will be moving the day after tomorrow. Also, can you please prepare the room for my sister at least? It will be a little bit hard for her to do it by herself."
"No problem. I was about to do that. Then, see you again soon."
Suhei smiled before he goes back to the car with his sister in tow. Before they went inside, I saw the girl looked at me and smiled. I nodded in response before she disappeared behind the tinted glass of the car.
The car went ahead on its way while I was left wondering why they choose this mansion. Although the place is a good place for recovery, I don\'t think anyone knows that yet. I was suspicious of that at first but since I can\'t confirm it yet, I have to shrug it off and continue to what I am supposed to do.
...
In the car, Suhei has a relieved look on his face. Pandora tug her brother\'s sleeve and showed the words on her sketchbook to him.
(Did Brother secured the house?)
Suhei pat Pandora\'s head and smiled. "More or less, sis. One thing is sure, you can now slowly recover from your injury once you get to move into the mansion."
Pandora smiled and started writing on the sketchbook before showing it to him again.
"He has already " awakened". His "soul" is the color of greenish-red."
"I see. So this must be fate huh..."
....
Although I was delayed by Suhei\'s sudden arrival, I was able to properly train my leg\'s physical prowess. With this, the foundation of my legs will now be able to withstand the first magic I can easily learn, which is the Enhanced Agility. If I want to learn Quick Dash and Cheetah Dash, this is the very first step to solidify my legs.
Thankfully, it works well which stabilized my natural foundation of early body enhancement. The first step is finally complete and I am still a few months early before I learned this step before in my past timeline. With the remaining period, I will be able to develop my body a lot more compared to the last one.
...
It\'s a bit late when my holophone notified me that the siblings already logged out of their games. Maybe I could use this opportunity to use my new ability?
Breathe in...
Breathe out...
"Fuu..."
[Enhanced Agility!]
The sudden changes on my legs immediately kick in. I felt my legs go light, and with that feeling still lingering in my legs, I started running...
Little did I know that it would cause a little hot of commotion in the neighborhood about an unknown entity running at full speed around the streets around the afternoon. They have hypothesized it must be some sort of paranormal being but I don\'t know this rumor yet at that time.
With my enhanced speed, I arrived back at the mansion in just 3 minutes without breaking a sweat. I should be able to arrive here while riding on a transport vehicle for around 7 to 8 minutes but to think I would arrive this fast, is indeed a much better way of transport. I also feel like I became the flash for a while.
"Woah! Brother, I saw you speeding from afar! What was that?!" Akira looked excited the moment I entered the doorway.
"Shh, that\'s a secret. However, if you guys will be good guys, I will tell you guys."
"I didn\'t see it but if brother said that you look awesome, I will believe him!" Sora who cannot see smiled as she tries to agree on what her brother saw.
"Haha, it\'s better if you didn\'t see it, it\'s a little bit embarrassing. Anyways, how is everything going on your side? Did you guys have fun in the game?"
"Ah! Yes, brother! Just earlier we just cleared the Gate Guardian with just the two of us!"
"Impressive! Now that you guys have already cleared the Gate Guardian, then you guys can access the dungeons at long last! What are your levels right now?"
"Brother is level 15 currently while I am level 14. We are planning to hit level 20 before we hit the first dungeon to be safe," Sora said happily.
"That is a good decision. I would suggest you guys grind levels near the graveyard mansion not too far from the first dungeon. It\'s not that hard and if you guys hit the enemies on their heads, those monsters will easily die. Some enemies are headless but just hit their hearts. Also, I will allow you guys to stay at my house near the Graveyard Mansion, that way, you guys don\'t need to waste your gold on Potions. I will lift the restrictions to the two of you so that you can access it in and out of it. How does that sound?"
"Brother already purchased a house?! That\'s cool! I heard houses are pretty much expensive so maybe we will have a long time saving up before we can purchase our own houses," Akira said as he waited for my opinion.
"Just save them up for now. The houses being offered right now are not that great but in a few months, some good choices will appear and they are a bit cheaper since you have to clear a few quests for it to be unlocked."
"Got it!"
We have dinner together while still discussing with them what they should do for proficient leveling. The guide that I just told them is all my previous experiences and calculations to immediately gain levels as fast as possible.
Since I have to go to Sandurk, I can\'t accompany them yet. But once the Sandurk expedition is over, then it will be a good time to train them for the future so that they can stand up all by themselves with solid foundations and regain their former status as "The legendary mercenary siblings".
Once the day is over, the two returned to their room so that they can continue on their grind. As for me, the scroll for the Sandurk Expedition should already be in my inventory. Now, the first step to conquer Sandurk is in progress!
