With the moment of us bonding alone, we were mentally well-rested to make a tour around the town.
"Livie, shouldn't we get up now?" I thought we were mentally well-rested, but Olivia wouldn't let me go.
"I like our current position." I sighed, unable to get her up.
An hour later, we finally got up. For real, For real this time. It was somewhere near late in the afternoon before we got out.
Livie and I were touring around town, searching if anything was interesting that could be found.
Walking around town, we attracted a lot of attention. The townsfolk mainly were beastmen, and other races were rare in these places.
It was a good thing none of them had bothered us, nor were they hostile in any way. The town was lovely, but the places we saw were places we had already gone to.
"Charlie, I think it was better for us to stay in our hotel." Like me, Livie hasn't found anything that interests her.
An idea popped into my head as I was thinking of a place to go. "Why don't we get more artifacts? We could find one that allows us to travel without walking."
The chances of that were slim to none, but it was still possible that we could find an artifact like that.
There is also a chance we could find some unique artifacts that could be used for something shortly.
"Ah, I forgot. I don't want to do that walk again." Just by her words, I could tell Livie had agreed with my suggestion.
"Then let's ask for directions." The both of us went back to the place where we had found information about hotel places.
Asking the information guy, he told us three locations that had sold artifacts. It was sad to hear that all three of them were far apart.
Going to the closet artifact store with Livie didn't take long. The store itself was reasonably large, meaning many artifacts would be around.
Livie and I were now checking the displayed artifacts in glass frames. Most of the common artifacts had only boosted one's magic powers.
While the others mainly boosted one's basic parameters of one's stats. We could buy them, but I prefer we wait until we are fully loaded with cash.
"Livie, did you find something interesting?" Livie was staring at something for a while. It was probably something good if she was looking at it closely.
"Charlie, could we please buy this." I looked at the artifact Livie was looking at.
"Jelly production." I looked at the effects and the cost of the artifact.
"Can't you just make them?" Theoretically, Livie herself could easily make them. I don't see the point of us buying it.
"I could, but they would only be used as food." Did she want to buy it for skin care?
"Then what are we buying it for?" I asked, wondering what she wanted it for.
Livie then went closer to my ears and whispered what she wanted to use it for. My eyes widened at what she wanted to do with it.
"Livie, you need to be purified." Her thoughts are turning more degenerate by the day.
"So, could we please try it?" Ignoring my joke, she wanted to buy the jelly artifact.
"Our money management is horrible but fine." Money at the end of the day was meant to be spent.
One artifact was on hold. Now we had to scout for others that we found valuable. Other than the jelly producer, there weren't any that had interested me at an affordable price.
Paying 150 gold coins, we then went to the second store. The second store was much smaller than the first, and it took us a while to get there.
The sales here were much more different than the first store, unlike the first store, which focused on powering the wearers.
The shop here focuses on valuable tools that would help for survival. The things here were more helpful than the artifacts in the first shop.
Searching around the store, three artifacts particularly caught my gaze. The first artifact allowed us to diminish our presence greatly. Shaped like a black bead, it made it pretty easy to carry.
It was a shame that it only allowed one person to use it, but giving it to Olivia should increase her safety by a large margin.
For the second artifact, it could deflect fifth-rank magic, making it twice as strong as the original strike. It was a one-time-use necklace that was shaped like a mirror.
Finally, we have the third and final artifact that allows us to travel automatically. I couldn't believe that something like this was here.
The third artifact was a flying carpet. Unfortunately, the speed of a person walking. It was still better than nothing.
I then asked the sales clerks for the artifact. Taking them out, we bought the three artifacts. I sighed at the prices, but they were necessary.
We lost 95% of our money. We couldn't buy much, but we could live with Livie's food. The defensive artifact cost us 60% of our coins, but I could say it was worth it.
"Livie, we're broke." The both of us left the shop and started wandering around the town.
"Do you want us to set a stall?" Livie thought of a way for us to earn our money back.
I shook my head, "We're here to enjoy ourselves. Doing work constantly would only tire us out."
The only reason we were staying in this town was so the both of us could enjoy ourselves. We didn't want to go to school every day.
"Then what should we do?"
"There are two options, we leave after tomorrow or stay for the remaining week." I would prefer if we stayed for the week but what was there to do here?
"Then you could fulfill that promise that we made earlier!" What promise did we make again? I couldn't remember.
