Save Log 1: Here I Am Taking A Break After The Long Battle

"Aaah! Can I have a refill, Aneca-san?"

"Sure Hanjiro-sama." Aneca poured the delicious Mashiki Juice into my nicely designed glass. The crimson liquid slowly filled almost the whole glass.

We are in the living room, lazing on the sofa. After the defeat of Celestia, the town got its peace back. I decided to take a week break after receiving a grand reward of 500,000 Azuls. With this amount of money, I can spend the next two weeks drinking Mashiki doing nothing and relax.

" 'gulp' 'gulp' Ahh! I never been so happy like this since the day Sylfia started to call me onii-san. Hard work pays off I guess." I said, twirling the glass half filled with the crimson juice.

"I have never been so happy like this before too. I always wanted to drink this one for so long! Thanks for buying it for me Hanji."

"No need to mention. If it's Mashiki, I am willing to help a damn b__ch like you."

"Hahaha. Thank you for the compliment you fu__ing as__ole."

"You have been through a lot. I think you do need some rest." said Joro standing on the hands of the old man Dermin.

"That is true but he is taking this too far. He is going to suffer for this instead of relaxing."

"Huh? What do you mean? Don't tell me you are jealous of me too Furara. I got the money because I gave my best effort to defeat Cel…."

"I am not talking about the money….well, I guess I am a bit jealous since I can't eat 10 Snowforest cupcake with 23 large bowl ramen and mashiki drink. No, no no! Forget what I just said! Don't look at me like that.....a-anyway I am talking about the money you have wasted on buying your Mashiki juice and the luxurious wine."

"It's not a waste. This is the way money should be spent. You are the one who would waste it eating that much food for nothing. What kind of girl eats that much food? Even my own big sister never eats that much."

Furara's pitch black face with two glowing blue eyes was emitting a red glow. Guess she is blushing.

"It-it doesn't matter! Anyway, you spend about more than half of your money on buying those and giving the whole members of the guild a treat."

"Wait what? More than half? What do you mean? I only bought three Varlen's Special Mashiki Juice and two bottles of that luxurious Mashiki wine. Hang on….."

The bartender's special juice was 14,000 Azuls each. I got three bottles for 50,000, the luxurious wine was 65,000 Azuls and I bought two of them for 100,000 Azuls with discount. And the amount of money spent on treating the whole guild was 200,000.Which means…...it cost 350,000 in total.

I was so happy when I got the reward that I wasn't aware how much I was spending. That damn Lina made me buy that expensive...

"Give that bottle back!"

"Noo! I want to save this for the future! Don't take it away after giving it as a gift!" Lina resisted to give the bottle she was hiding under the couch she was sitting.

"Then pay me 100,000 Azuls then."

"......no. That's the amount of money I got from the bounty reward anyway."

"I don't give a damn. Give me the bottle back!"

"Now this is quite a mess now." said Joro.

"It's your own fault Hanjiro for being so air headed. Just let her go."

"Tsk!"

I let off the bottle and Lina pulled the wine back to herself and rubbed it with her cheeks.

"What the heck am I gonna do now?"

"The only way is to do some quests and get the reward." Joro replied with a matter of fact tone.

"Great! We are gonna start doing some quest again then. Let's go to the gu……"

"No, hell no. I am taking this break I am having now. I am suffering from mental trauma. Been chased by an army of goblins and orcs, ('Well it was your own idea Hanjiro' said Furara.) Battled with a wild demon general in a dark cave, ('I apologize for that' Joro apologizes.) and again fought with a general not knowing when she would attack."

"Yeah, that one was pretty stressful to me too."

"So, I deserve a break to heal from the trauma that I am suffering now. Is there any question about that?"

"I don't care what you are gonna do but please, don't take my precious wine away."

I will think about how I can get back that bottle later on.

"I guess you do need a break. I am sorry for getting all worked up." Furara apologized facing the ground.

"Thank you for understanding. There are only two more days before this break ends but I think I want to extend it two more days."

"Sure. Go ahead and enjoy. We are not forcing you or anything." said Joro.

"Alright, if you will excuse me, I am gonna read my manga upstairs."

"You know, you can earn a lot of money if you sell that tome."

"Yeah sure. I will think about selling it if I run out of money."

I got up from the sofa and headed upstairs like a zombie.

"Have a nice nap I guess." I waved at Furara who wished me a nice nap. Why do I feel so tired? It's only 11:23 in the morning now.

I checked the clock just to make sure. Well, it's 11:25 now. I have been too lazy for the past 4 days.

…..

…

.

Not sure how many hours it's been since I was re-reading this manga for the 89th time. Just 11 more and it's 100, but I heard a voice coming from the fon while I was reading.

"Hanji! You there bud? Hanji!"

"Yes, I am Hanjiro. What is it?"

"Oh, glad you picked it up. You are relaxing in the mansion and doing nothing right?" asked Glider from the other side.

"Well no. I am reading a book."

"Seriously? Anyway I got something to show you. Meet me at the guild at 1 'o'clock sharp."

He hung up after that. What the heck he is going to show me this time?

"So how is this place?" said Glider, showing us the dark cramped room with many people gambling.

After he hung up I went downstairs and asked if those two wanted to go with me or not. They agreed and came along. After we reached the guild, Glider was sitting on a bench with Jerkin. Then he led the way to a dark alleyway. Lina kept saying that 'Hey I know this place.' and here we are.

"You called us just to see this stupid gamble crap?"

"I am going back to the mansion."

"Wait for me Furara!"

"Wait, wait! Since you ladies came all the way here, why not check out a few things?" Jerkin proposed in a dramatic tone.

"Sorry, but I am pretty shy to get into a crowd with people I don't know."

"Hehe. Oh you shy little Furara. Don't worry, I beat the hell out if anyone tries to do anything."

"Th-thank you Lina-san."

"Are you guys gonna join or what?" said Glider standing beside a table. A bald and scary looking dude was the host of the game which is played on the table.

"I guess I will join while I can. It's a pain in the ass to go back to the mansion from here."

I sat on the chair beside Glider. Furara and Lina were standing behind us with Jerkin.

"Let's just watch how they play from here I guess." Furara nodded in reply.

Another person joined the game. He was wearing the clothes that I regular citizens wear. He has a friendly looking face with blue eyes and ruffled jet-black hair. He is an elf since the ears are pointy just like Sylfia and Grodmin. But it was smaller than them.

"I see a new face with Glider ho." said the man in a deep tone.

"Yo Kernel ojisan. This is Hanjiro, the one who defeated the demon general."

"I see. It is an honour to meet you face to face but, why would a hero like you come gamble in a place like this?"

"And there goes Hanji's reputation." Lina mocked.

"I AM NOT HERE TO GAMBLE ON PURPOSE! Glider dragged me here saying that he wanted to show me. Don't get the wrong idea."

"Hahaha! I apologize for misunderstanding. Glider is very mischievous. So do you care to have a game?"

"Well sure, I have nothing to do at home right now."

"Get the cards ready Helberg." said Kernel to the scary looking host. He nodded and started to shuffle the cards.

"Let's get the game rolling. It's you two versus me alone."

"I am gonna you beat with my bud hanji today, old man. Prepare to lose."

Kernel gave a sinister smile as the host started to give us cards.
