Chapter 147 - Chapter 148 {Cult Kingdom}

Scene: After crossing the Shin Kingdom's border, Precious and the others enter Wujin City of the Cult Kingdom.

Shila: Okay everyone, we'll stay here for today. Tomorrow, we'll enter the next city through the portal.

Pretty: Ma'am, can we go shopping here?

Shila: Why not? I'm planning to shop here myself.

Baki: …Alright then. Those who want to explore the city can go ahead. The rest can come with me to the hotel.

Everyone: We're going to explore the city!!

Baki (thinking): Shopping…

Narrator (Kail): And so, everyone started exploring the city and shopping.

Scene: A random shop

Pretty, Nimi, Miliem, and Shila are inside.

Pretty: Wow, these earrings are nice.

Shopkeeper: Yes, they're made of pure gold.

Nimi: Really?!

Shopkeeper: Yes, yes. You can buy them for just 30 silver coins.

Pretty: They're so cheap here. In the Shin Kingdom, they're much more expensive.

Miliem: I think they cost around 70 or even 100 silver coins there.

Shila: That's because gold is abundant in the Cult Kingdom, so goods here are cheaper.

Pretty & others: I see…

Pretty: How much did you say again?

Shopkeeper: Just 30 silver coins.

Pretty: Okay, I'll buy these!

(Pretty buys the earrings.)

Scene: Artifact shop (boys' side)

Baki: Wow…! This is a TEKARU.

Lior: What's that?

Baki: It's a very powerful weapon.

(It looks like a gun with a stick extending from the back.)

Precious: Hmm… there's nothing very special here.

Shopkeeper (thinking): What?! "Nothing special"?! Are you kidding me?! This is one of the top two shops in the city!

Lior: Wow, there's armor here.

Shopkeeper: This is Gobe Armor, made from goblin skin and orc blood.

Precious: Huh?!

Shopkeeper: Ah… it's very old, from before King Rental and the Secret Sky appeared.

Lior: Oh…

Damu: And what about this glove?

Shopkeeper: That's a Metal Bear Glove. The price isn't too high—only 43 brown coins.

Damu: That's expensive -_-

Shopkeeper: T-then how about 40?

Damu: 20.

Shopkeeper: 38.

Damu: Not interested.

Shopkeeper: I bought it myself for 40 and I'm selling it to you for 38! What more do you want, my life?

Shai: I want to buy this ring. How much?

Shopkeeper: Ah… that ring is quite expensive.

Shai: How much?

Shopkeeper: 2 silver coins.

Shai: 78 brown coins.

Shopkeeper: Just get lost!! I don't know where you kids even come from!

Lior: Okay, I've decided. I'll buy this armor.

Shopkeeper: Hmph! It's very expensive. You kids won't be able to afford it. Go somewhere else.

Precious: Oh? Then how much?

Shopkeeper: 1 silver and 32 brown coins.

Precious: I'll give you 2.

Shopkeeper: Huh?! Rob me already! I wouldn't even sell my clothes for 2 brown coins—

Precious: 2 silver coins.

Shopkeeper: !! C-customer is god… My father always said that. So you are a god!

Shai, Baki & Damu (thinking): He changed really fast… -_-

Narrator (Kail): And so, night fell while everyone was exploring the city, and they all returned to the hotel.

Scene: Hotel room

All students and teachers are sitting together.

Pretty: I bought these earrings.

Nimi: And I bought this necklace.

Baki: I didn't buy anything.

Shila: Don't worry, I bought something for you.

Baki: Seriously?! What is it?!

Shila: Ta-da! A bear doll.

Baki: Huh -_- … w-wow…

Lior: I bought armor for myself.

Miliem: I bought some food—ta-da!

(Pastries and other items)

Shai: Well, I only traveled around. I didn't buy anything.

Pretty: What about you, Precious?

Precious: Ah… no, I didn't buy anything either. I don't really need anything.

Pretty: …Oh…

Narrator (Kail): And so, everyone went to sleep. The next day, they traveled through a portal to the Cult Kingdom's second city, and from there took a helicopter to the Empire.

Scene: Near the Empire

Nimi: I can see the Empire's border.

Shai: We're here?

Pretty: I'm excited!
