Novel Full Chapter 55 - Buy A Space Bag
Elysia let out a sigh of relief that she doesn't have to go through the hardships of being interrogated as she imagined just a moment ago.
'Lil Ely, you were so amazing earlier pfft hehe...' Elena who was the most amused finally spoke with her compliment to her sister with amused giggles.
'Phew... I did my best, it's a good thing I didn't get interrogated by the teacher.' Elysia only answered in relief.
"Eve, do you want to go straight back to the dorm?" Elysia turned to the cheerful girl who was still waving her hand slightly at Teacher Ruth.
"Um, well... It's noon now and I'm feeling hungry. Would you like to have lunch with me, Ely?" Evelyn put one hand on her stomach as she asked happily.
"With pleasure, princess. Where are we going to have lunch?" Elysia smiled back at her and somehow she also felt happy because this cheerful girl who likes to smile.
"Mou~ Don't call me like that, just call me by my name as usual." Evelyn pouted and puffed out her cheeks.
"Hehe... You look like a pufferfish now. Where are we going to have lunch, Eve?"
"Emn... I wanted to cook myself for lunch, but the groceries in our dorm room are running out. So, I need to buy some more... Want to go with me?"
"Ah... You're good at cooking too, Eve? That's unexpected, I also love to cook and used to cook for myself."
Elysia clapped her hands together in amazement at Evelyn's statement. It was very rare among aristocratic girls who could cook on their own because they usually relied on servants for it.
"That's amazing! We have the same hobby and can cook together later! Then let's go to Tiecoon, that shop always offers daily necessities at a friendly price, you know."
Evelyn was very happy that her best friend had the same interest in culinary. She grasped Elysia's hand which was clapped together with sparkling eyes.
Elysia knows the shop Evelyn mentioned and has even gone shopping there.
"Let's go." Elysia got up from the chair in the pavilion and was followed by Evelyn but before they left there, suddenly a white cat came and climbed on the table.
"Meow."
'Master, take me too.' Vanessa asked to be invited to the convenience store when she heard their conversation.
A while ago when Teacher Ruth had left, and in the pavilion were only her master and her dormmate, Vanessa approached there and took off her camouflage after making sure no one was around. She needed to resupply food that had a similar image to her current self, the food she called the conspiracy box three days ago.
While still in the reserved room in the library, she told her master that cat food products were actually a conspiracy box to attract the attention of beasts like her.
That confession made Elena and Elysia unable to hold back their laughter before Elysia properly explained to Vanessa about the product.
"Oh my... Vanessa? Where did you come from? Aren't you in our dorm room?" Evelyn was surprised to see a familiar white cat climb onto the table.
'Sure, let's go to the convenience store again. I know very well what you want hehe…' Elysia replied using her spiritual connection as she gently grabbed the white cat sitting on the table into her arms.
"Now it's ok, let's go." Elysia just nodded at the confused Evelyn.
"Meow." Vanessa seemed to agree with her meowing.
Evelyn didn't want to think much and they immediately went from there to Tiecoon to buy groceries, but right now the one that bought the most was Evelyn. She bought enough fresh ingredients for supplies and many more ingredients for the dishes she was going to cook with her best friend.
Of course, Vanessa's supply of snacks was not left behind, Elysia bought quite a few of them at the request of Vanessa.
They walked out of Tiecoon with light steps back towards their dormitory room. All of their groceries were put into Evelyn's [Space Bag].
Elysia currently only has one [Space Bag] and she is reluctant to take it out because the [Space Bag] is embedded with an insignia from the Reinhard Duke Family.
She knew what Harold was trying to achieve with this. In fact, most of the equipment had the same insignia engraved on it. Because of that, she was reluctant to use it and only put a small object in the pocket on her clothes and put the rest in her [Space Storage].
"Nee, Eve. Where can I buy a [Space Bag]?"
Not far from Tiecoon, Elysia asked because she thought she needed one as a scapegoat. She couldn't use the [Space Bag] Harold gave her nor could she always get something out of her pocket.
"You don't have it yet? Hm... Alright... Wait a minute... As I remember, there is a magic shop nearby... Found it! There it is! You can buy a [Space Bag] in that shop, Ely."
Evelyn muttered while looking around and trying to remember the shop she visited the other day.
The two of them walked over and entered a large magic shop with a magnificent signboard engraved with the name 'Equinox', the largest and most comprehensive magic shop in this city.
"Welcome to the Equinox, how can I help you?" An employee in a neat uniform greeted the two of them as they just entered the magic shop.
"Um, I need a [Space Bag]." Elysia answered while looking around the large magic shop which was illuminated with attractive lighting.
There are neatly arranged several glass showcases containing several gemstones or crystals that are displayed to customers. At first glance, this magic shop called Equinox is very much like a large jewelry shop.
'The convenience store, the department store, and now the jewelry shop...'
'This world is quite modern. Although not more advanced than Earth, on this planet everything is so unique and interesting.'
'There's magic too.' Elysia added in her mind. The brief conversation between the two of them was fast and no one noticed.
"Yes, we have [Space Bags] of all sizes. Please follow me to the showcase over there." The employee with a professional smile gave a hand gesture to go to the row of glass cabinets on the side and walked over there to guide the two girls who were following him from behind.
"We have [Space Bag] ranging in size from one cubic meter, two cubic meters, to five cubic meters as the largest capacity." The employee shows various kinds of [Space Bag] that are displayed in the glass cabinet.
"Eve, what size is your [Space Bag]?"
"Mine is three cubic meters in size." Evelyn held up her yellow [Space Bag] with her family insignia embedded on it.
'Lil Ely, buy the one with the most capacity!' Elena incited with a whisper to be extravagant.
'No, I already have [Space Storage] in me and Harold's [Space Bag] that I can't currently use is already five cubic meters in size. I will only buy the cheapest one.'
Elysia won't waver anymore at Elena's extravagant whispers like in other shops because the price of each [Space Bag] listed there has made her thrifty soul scream once again.
For one [Space Bag] measuring 1 cubic meter is already worth 50 gold coins, for an increase of 1 cubic meter above it will increase by 20 gold coins. One of the cheapest [Space Bag] would rack her up as much as ten thousand dollars.
Elysia reluctantly chooses one of the lowest capacity [Space Bag] in her preferred hue and color. She paid 50 gold coins before she could take home a purplish-black [Space Bag] with a small blue butterfly image embedded on it.
After that, they immediately returned to their dorm room without stopping anywhere else.
