Characters First Holiday

Characters point of view:

Barry (B)

Daemon (D)

Symbols used in this part of the story:

*...* : The character is talking in their

head.

(...) : The character's actions and

expressions.

B: Yay!!! Our first break from the novel.

Thanks, author for being busy.

D: That's quite a rude way to be happy

about. Plus, how are you going to

spend your first holiday break?

B: Why? Can't I just be happy that we

could rest for awhile before the next

arc comes out?

D: Of course, you can be happy because

you can take some rest. But if you are

happy because of what you said

earlier, then you will be in big trouble

in the later chapters.

B: Oh, right. If you ask me about how I

am going to spend my first holiday

break, I have no idea on how to spend

my first holiday break.

D: Then I guess I should take you on a

tour around Mareville city?

B: Okay then, let's go.

Daemon brings Barry to tour around Mareville city, so that he would get to know better about how is life in this world. Both of them chatted with each other while they are touring around the city.

B: Wow...!!! This place is just amazing! It

really resembles like my own world,

except that most of the facilities here

runs on magic. Will the magic

resources not be depleted if it keeps

on going like this? *I guess I should

do some contributions to help out

this world with the use of my world's

knowledge. Well, I guess I could start

by lending some books based on

electricity to the library since I don't

find anything like that there.*

D: Haha... your world is much more

amazing than this world. There are

lots of things which I'm unfamiliar

with in your world. Would you mind

sharing some knowledge about your

world some time later? About your

question just now, it is as what I have

said earlier, this world will never run

out of magic resources.

B: Sure, I am actually planning to lend

some outside world knowledge

books to the library. You could bring

Brittney to the library to learn about

outside world's knowledge. Who

knows it would be useful for her to

bring up this kingdom to achieve

greater feats than the other

kingdoms?

D: Oh, I'm surprised that you know the

existence of the other 6 kingdoms

and their achievements. Is this not

your first time being here in this world

or do you have any connections with

the other 6 people who claims to be

from your own world?

B: Huh? Were there other kingdoms

besides this? I'm apparently new to

this world, by the way. Plus, I didn't

know that there are others besides

me, who came from my world and it's

just something which slipped out of

my mind.

D: Oh, is it? Well I guess we'll just leave it

at that. Before I forget to tell you,

about lending the books to the library,

they will reward you a large sum of

gold coins worth of 10.5k of gold

coins per book. Of course, the

amount will vary based on how useful

it is for them and check if the book is

incredibly rare and unique from the

ones in their possession. If it is

extremely rare and unique, they will

reward you more than that. But if they

find out that it is fake, they will

charge you triple the price of how

much the book is worth. They do this

in accordance with the new era that

this world is going through.

B: Wow!!! That's cool! I would be

seriously rich if I lend all the books

that I have in my possession.

D: Woah... hold on a minute there, kid.

Don't think you can keep all those

money for yourself. (evil smile)

Instead, aren't you worried if you will

never be able to see, borrow or claim

ownership of your precious books

ever again?

B: (panics)What?! What should I do if

that were to happen?! I still have to

use those books to help out with my

studies. I would be dead meat if my

parents noticed that my book

collections decreased dramatically

and I have no references to refer

from. (cries) Please help me to

escape from that trouble, I beg you,

Daemon. (grovels on the road)

D: Hey! Don't do that! You will embarrass

me and yourself in front of everyone

here. Please lift up your head now.

Please pay close attention to what I

am about to tell you.

B: (gets up from the ground and lifts up

his head)

B: Okay then, what do you want to tell

me?

D: Please accept my sincere apology for

making you cry just now. I didn't think

that you would actually cry in front of

a crowd. Please get a grip on your

emotions.

B: Huh? It was a joke? Oh thank

goodness. By the way, apology

accepted. Well about that, I guess I

will try. So... is that all you want to tell

me about?

D: No. What I want to tell you is that

instead of keeping the money all to

yourself, it will be used to pay all your

rental fees and training fees.

B: Huh? What? For real? Wait... I thought

it was all for free? Come on, you're

kidding me, right?

D: No, I'm not kidding about that.

B: (surprised) What? I'm being charged

for all of those? What are you going

to do with the money anyway? Plus,

why are you charging me for rental

fees for a house that you don't even

own.

D: Do you really think I don't own any

house?

B: What do you mean?

D: That house that we used is actually

my house.

B: WHAT?!

D: Yeah, so I have the right to charge

you rental fees for using one of the

rooms and I can also just charge you

with training fees for teaching you

about magic.

B: (Gah!) Okay...okay, I will agree with

you on that...but can I ask you

something? Have you ever charged

anyone with training fees for teaching

magic before in the past?

D: No, this is my first time charging a

person with such fees for teaching

magic.

B: (Huh?!) Why are you doing that now?!

And for what purpose do you have

for doing so? What are you going to

do with those money then?

D: Why? Can't I do that as a way of

paying for the services that I offered?

Plus, those money will be used to

maintain the house, pay the taxes,

and buying foods and drinks.

B: Ugh...okay then...okay then! Sheesh...

I'll pay up the fees when the book that I

lend lives up to their standards and pays

me the amount you mentioned earlier.

D: Okay then, I will wait for that.

As they walked, they found a rustic styled cafe restaurant which was packed with customers and decided to enter it. When they entered the cafe, they sat down at the table and a waiter immediately goes to their table to take their orders.

Waiter #1: Hello there. What would you two

like to order? (gives the menu

to Barry and Daemon)

B: Hi. Okay then. May I ask you a question?

What is this? (points his finger on one of

the foods listed in the menu list)

W#1: Yes, what is it, mister? Oh, do you mean

this? This is Borscht. It's one of the

most famous foods from Karkoshov

Kingdom.

B: Oh... I see. Then how about this? (points at

another type of food in the menu list)

W#1: Oh this? This is also one of the most

famous foods from Karkoshov

Kingdom. It is Pirozhki.

B: Oh okay then. I'll order two of this then.

W#1: Okay then. How about you, sir? (looks at

Daemon) Is it the usual order?

D: Yes, as usual.

W#1: Okay then. Drinks?

B: What drinks do you have?

W#1: We have all types of drinks from all the

other 6 kingdoms. You name it. We

have it.

B: Can you name the list of drinks you have

for me?

D: Americano, Latte, Cappuccino, Sencha,

Omija-cha, Chrysanthemum tea and many

others. What do you want?

B: Oh...uh thanks. Well, I'll order Cappuccino

then.

W#1: Okay. Then how about you, sir? Latte?

D: Yes.

W#1: Okay then. (nods his head and leaves

their table)

Both Daemon and Barry waited for their orders to arrive while relaxing themselves by listening to the jazz music from the gramaphone. Soon, a waiter came up to their table to deliver their beverages.

W#2: Here are your beverages. Latte?

D: Me. Thanks.

W#2: Cappuccino?

B: Me. Thank you.

W#2: Please wait patiently for the food, as it

is almost done.

D&B: Okay, thanks. (smiles to the waiter)

(10 minutes later)

W#2: Sorry for the wait. Here are your orders.

Who ordered English Breakfast?

D: That would be me. Thanks.

W#2: How about Borscht and Pirozhki?

B: That's mine. Thank you.

W#2: (leaves the place after sending the

order)

Barry and Daemon took their time to eat while enjoying the relaxing jazz music in the cafe. After Barry and Daemon has finished their food, they called the waiter for a bill.

When the waiter showed the bill, Daemon was the one who paid the bill and got the changes. After that, they left the cafe to continue to tour around Mareville city until to the end of the day.

Soon Barry and Daemon went back home.
