Chapter 28 - Episode 27 Shopping

The forest finally ended and for the first time, I saw a city like road. Looking more further, there were humans, well dressed and buying something. The sellers were selling their goods with a smile.

But suddenly Exposure Magic Lvl 1 got activated and there were many masks on the faces. Seller's masks were of greed, they were only meant by earning and those who couldn't sell anything were sad, many buyers were sweating, completely angry because they don't wanted to spend their money, their women were happy, but I could say materialistic happiness. But some couples were buying happily and were not angry or worrying about buying, that day I got to know a new category of humans.

My magic deactivated and the old man murmured, "What do you want?"

I looked at myself and in my real face, I was still wearing the same costume when I died and lost my parents forever. After the fight in the Tower, it was spoiled as well. So the first thing I wanted was.

"I want to buy some costume and dresses..." And I started walking ahead and the old man smiled and followed.

But I was really confused about one thing, it was that my costume of my real self is different than the costume of eight years old Yung.

I thought deeply, "Will I have to buy different costumes for both?"

It was completely confusing... But I just decided to buy both types of costume for that.

The old man took his seat on a chair and I went to buy costumes and dresses.

I tried many but liked two only, but it was just for the sixteen years old myself, so I went to buy for her as well.

Shopping was not too long, I had chosen enough and was confirmed with it and started moving towards the reception to buy them--

But suddenly, I saw something which caught my eyes... It was really a beautiful dress. White dress with a beautiful light pink cloth to hold it on elbows and it would look gorgeous.

But I was not buying it for myself... but for someone about whom I don't know much. I took the dress and looked at it, my eyes widened with surprises and excitement took place in my heart, "... She will look gorgeous by this..."

I confirmed and took it as well and took to the reception.

"I will buy this."

The receptionist started checking and smiled, "You are also buying for future? I mean like, 5 to 10 years ahead?"

She guessed by it because, of course, in her view I look like a girl of eight and I smiled, "Yeah, you see, future plans."

She laughed and kept it in a bag and said the cost, "10,000 bronze."

Bronze? I get to know that the gold is not the only currency, bronze and silver coins also exist.

I replied, "I don't have bronze..."

The receptionist had no hopes from me and with a sweaty forehead stated, "Then you can't buy it--"

I took out the gold coins and kept on the table shocking her, "Gold coins are allowed, right?"

The receptionist was shocked, "... What?! Did... Did you stole--"

"My, my. Are you done Vanile?" Old man arrived and the receptionist gulped... She still couldn't believe that I would be that much rich, but by looking at the old man she expected that he would have that 100 gold coins and smiled with a sweat and handed the bag full of costumes and dresses and replied, "Sure, we accept gold coins as well, how much it is by the way?"

"100 gold coins." I took the bag and she gulped again and we started leaving.

"It was embarrassing..." The receptionist muttered and lied on the table with a little bit of disappointment from herself.

It was already going to be evening and we were walking in the city roads holding the bag and looking at the sky.

"Did you purchased for her as well?"

Old man caught me but I could accept nothing less from him, he would guess it soon.

"... Yeah... I think she will look pretty by it."

Old man smiled, "Even if we know that she will never wake up and wear it?"

I looked down with a face of sorrow, "Still..."

But suddenly I smiled, I touched my chest and had a new goal of life, to make old man's daughter wake up. I don't know how but is it bad in trying? I don't think so, so my mind was fixed, my main mission is to wake her up alive.

"Anyways, what you want to buy next?"

I came out of thoughts and replied, "A sword, bullets of my pistol, and... I guess that's enough for today."

Old man smiled, "Very well... Let's order for a sword first."

I smiled and looked at him--

But suddenly my head pain like hell and I was frozen, I suddenly fell on knees and unknown visions started appearing in my mind which was destroying my head and I was thinking to just crush my head to stop the pain--

But suddenly it stopped and I started breathing quickly with a panic. I was sweating and the vision was somehow appearing disturbing.

But I understood everything.

"Are you alright, Vanile?"

I stood and commanded, "Old man, you go and make a deal for my sword, it should be sharp, too much thin, and the grip should be good. I am going for a job."

And I started running away leaving the old man confused. But he gave a sigh and continued his walk to the swordsmith for the sword, "Kids nowadays."

I continued running in a rush and started following the same path from where I started.

"... If that vision would be true, old man really needs to give me an explanation."
