The Extra's Indifference

After registration was over, i called out Aria and Katie. They were waiting in corner of the registration room. We went to Lucy's room and entered it with Lucy's identification.

Though calling room would be a lie because this 'room' has a bedroom, living room, bathroom, kitchen, and alchemy/artifact making room. It was pretty much a house rather than a room.

Anyway, i found her bedroom and put her bed. After that, i gave some instructions to Katie and got out of Lucy's room.

Orion was waiting for me outside of Lucy's room, for a reason that i didn't know and didn't care about.

"Orion are you free for a few hours?" I asked flatly.

"I am, but why?" Orion asked. He was probably confused because he didn't think that i would ask him something.

"It is my first time in the Capital Elsiyara. If you are free, give me a small tour of important places and in return, i will owe you a favor that you can use later." i said.

Orion thought for a moment and opened his slowly, hesitantly mouth.

"Can i use the favor right now?" Orion asked.

"Say it." I said annoyedly.

Orion wanted to use his favor without doing his job, so i thought that i had to act annoyed because of it.

"Please be my friend." Orion said and brought his trembling hand for a handshake.

"Okay." I said flatly and shook his hand.

"Is that it? You didn't think for a second." Orion spoke dumbfoundedly.

"It is just a friendship, nothing drastic." i said disinterestedly.

"Oh"

"Close your mouth for a second and give me my tour." i said.

"Alright come with me." Orion said and slowly walked.

Yawn!

"Master. If you make yourself clothes with illusion magic, you can stroll around more comfortably." Aria advised.

For the past months, Aria observed me and found out that, i had a habit of forgetting or didn't care about small/unimportant things, and started to remind me of these small things.

"That's true." I nodded.

"Thanks Aria." I said and patted her head. I have grown taller in the past months and right now i am a little bit taller than Aria, so it was quite easy to pat her head.

I cast basic illusion magic and made myself look like wearing a light gray shirt. White or black usually attract more attention, that's why i made gray.

"Where are we going?" I asked Orion.

Orion turned towards me.

"That is a quite good illusion. Anyway, our first stop is clothing store, you can't go around with illusion. There are hundreds of mages and knights on the streets."

"Okay." i said.

******

Orion led us to the front of a luxurious clothing store. According to him, this store has the best quality clothes, thus we entered it.

I gestured to random staff to come here.

"What are your prices?" I asked the prices because even though Count gave us money, it would be easily used up if i spend carelessly.

The staff blushed but managed to speak normally.

"We have all kinds of clothing and their price ranges are 2 silver to 50 gold."

I had 30 platinum coin, equivalent to 3000 gold.

"Aria take this and choose some clothes that would suit me." i said and handed 1 platinum coin.

Afterward, i brought my mouth to her ear and whispered.

"Took this too and buy some girly clothes that would draw attention easily." i said and gave her 50 golds.

Wearing some girly clothes makes my job easier when kidnapping some thugs, that is why i wanted.

Anyway, Aria bought me some clothes and i wore the one set that Aria choose for me.

It was a dark gray shirt, dark trousers, and dark robe with golden chains that hung front of it to hold 2 sides of it.

It was a strange combination, to be honest, but i didn't have any fashion sense, hence i go with it.

"Why did you choose only black color Aria?" i asked.

"Master's skin is light, hair color is white and eyes are shiny crystal blue. I thought that darker colors would balance it." Aria explained monotonously.

"Is that so? Then did you manage to do it your idea?" i raised a brow and asked.

"I think I did but i don't know because master is always looking good." Aria answered.

"That is true. Anyway let's go." i nodded and got out of the store.

Orion was waiting outside, so i nudged him to get his attention.

"Ah finally i was wai-" Orion started to speak and turned towards me, but he didn't finish his sentence.

His eyes widened and his face heated up a little bit.

"Shit! You are cool! How old are you even?" Orion spoke excitedly. He became a fanboy for a moment but reversed his original personality.

"I am 14" I said coldly.

"Fuck!" Orion swore quietly and started to walk in circles.

"Did i become a pedophile before i knew it? Being gay isn't that problem but being a pedophile is a heavy sin b-" Orion muttered quietly. His murmurs were too quiet that probably no one other than me heard it.

I flicked his forehead and cut off his murmurs.

"Shut up! This is the average reaction to my look but if you try to do anything, i will freeze to death." I said coldly, annoyance apparent in my voice.

"Really?" Orion said.

"Yes. Just try to control yourself and led me to the store that sells best alchemy ingredients." i said and waved my hand as if it's nothing.

"Yes yes, follow me." Orion said. There was a relief in his voice that i didn't understand.

******

Orion led us to a shabby looking building.

'I said to him best place but he led us to a shabby looking building. Is this famous cliche place that sells rare treasures and herbs in a crappy building. Well, i am in a fantasy world, so maybe they considered this normal?'

We entered the shabby building. It's inside too shabby as outside.

"Old maaaan!" Orion shouted.

There wasn't any response, thus Orion shouted again.

"Old man! It's me, Orion, i brought you new customers."

After Orion's shout i heard creaks of old stairs. After a minute an old man, whose one foot in the grave approached us slowly.

"Why are you shouting brat? I am just old not deaf." the old man shouted.

"I thought for a moment you became deaf too, old man." Orion said and grinned

They bickered like this for a while.

I made habit of inspecting people with my aura to find out their level of strength and the practice of my aura manipulation. Thus i tried to inspect this old man like every people that i met with my aura but i couldn't do it and the old man turned towards me sharply.

"It is not proper to analyze someone without permission young lady." The old man said.

'Whoops. This old man must be an old monster, it is time to step back and apologize.'

"It is a habit of mine, i am sorry if i made you angry because of it." I said with an apologetic smile.

"Threw this habit of yours. If it's another mage other than me, they would kill you because of it." The old man said and patted my shoulder.

"I apologize for my mistake as well boy, i mistook you for a young lady."

"It is okay, i am used to it. Every elderly person do this mistake because of my looks." I said flatly.

The old man turned towards Orion and spoke:

"Orion why did you come to my place?"

"Kayle was searching ingredients for alchemy, so i led them here old man." Orion said and gestured to me.

"Is that so? Well, what do you need?" The old man turned towards me and Aria.

"Aria tell to old man what you need and buy 3 times more than needed." I said to Aria.

Aria needed some ingredients for her alchemy experiments, that is why i wanted to go to the alchemy shop.

"Old man do you have any book about alchemy?" i said. It would be good to have extra knowledge about potions and herbs.

"No. I don't know anything about alchemy, i am just selling my old loot for young mages." said the old man.

"Alright, can i search through the ingredients?" i asked.

"Why?" Old man asked back with suspicion.

"I have good eyes for magical things." i said and pointed my eyes.

"Crystal eyes that can inspect magical ingredients? That must be useful to have. Go look around." old man deceived himself without my intervention, thus i started to search around using status lenses.

Status lenses don't explain anything, they just give rank to the ingredients and their names. So it was hard to find anything noteworthy.

Well, i found something. It was a hard, transparent ball as big as a grape. I tried to inspect with status lenses but they couldn't even find anything my Intuition told me this transparent ball was precious.

"Old man what's this ball's price." i said and gestured to the ball.

"Give me 25 gold and it is yours." Old man said.

"Do you know what is it?" I asked.

"No" Old man said while shaking his head.

"If you don't know, how can you want 25 gold for this?" I asked again.

"You said your eyes were special and you want this ball, so it must be valuable right?" old man said with a grin.

"I am buying it." I said and handed 25 gold to him.

While i was searching through the ingredients, Aria bought everything she needs.

"I will come again old man." i said and got out of the store.
