Multiverse Gacha

[16] Greedy Ais!

Back in Orario, all the magic stones and drops were exchanged for Valis.

This trip directly yielded August over forty to nearly fifty thousand Valis, with the majority coming from monster drops. Although they were the lowest-tier drops, they were still valuable.

Combined with yesterday's ten thousand Valis, August was now a wealthy man with over fifty thousand Valis.

However, this was only relative.

For a newcomer, August was definitely considered rich now.

But compared to most adventurers, August couldn't even be called middle class.

Leaving aside other factors, just a visit to the prosperous Hostess of Fertility would likely cost August more than his entire fifty thousand Valis.

Without lingering outside, August and Ais went straight back to the familia.

After a morning of fighting plus the efforts at noon, August completed today's "small goal".

At the same time, he became more familiar with Ais.

When returning to the surface, Ais had already finished all the fried chicken and cleaned up all the traces.

"Fried potato balls, super delicious fried potato balls, don't miss them when you pass by!"

Suddenly, a yelling voice came over.

At this moment, Ais's gaze shifted.

Who would have thought that the extremely aloof Sword Princess would actually love food like fried potato balls.

After a slight hesitation, Ais turned and walked towards the fried potato ball stall.

In front of her favorite food, everything else took a back seat.

"Give me two fried potato balls, the red bean cream flavor."

"Sure, please wait a moment!"

The seller was a man who seemed kind.

Naturally, August recognized this person, the God of War, Takemikazuchi.

Unlike Loki, Takemikazuchi's familia wasn't strong, so as a god, he often worked just like an ordinary person to make ends meet.

In the original plot, he and Hestia worked as employees at the "fried potato ball" branch.

"Thank you for your patronage. Two red bean cream-flavored fried potato balls, a total of 600 valis."

Ais took the two fried potato balls and subconsciously tried to pay, but then she suddenly became dumbfounded.

She didn't bring money.

She almost never went out with money, and even when she came back from the dungeon, she exchanged Valis from the guild.

However, this time, although she went to the dungeon, she didn't hunt monsters at all because she was with August, so naturally, she didn't have any Valis.

"Don't have it? It's okay, you can pay next time."

Takemikazuchi smiled and said, he naturally knew Ais.

After all, in Orario, there were few who didn't know the name of Ais, the Sword Princess, especially since Ais was a regular customer at his stall.

When Ais was a little at a loss, a hand stretched out from the side.

"I'll do it. Ais has accompanied me for so long today, how can I let you pay!"

August walked over, took out 600 Valis, and helped Ais pay.

"Young man, I haven't seen you before. Whose child are you?"

Curious, Takemikazuchi looked at August. He was very curious about this unfamiliar person who was walking with Ais.

"Hello, God Takemikazuchi, I'm August, a newcomer from the Loki familia."

"Oh, from the Loki familia. You're really outstanding. If my child could be as excellent as you."

"You're too kind!"

"Hahaha~ It's our first meeting, and I don't have anything decent to offer, so I'll give you guys these fried potato balls."

He handed over a few fried potato balls packaged neatly to August.

August was about to refuse, but when he saw Ais's slightly shining eyes, he immediately gave up on the idea.

"Thank you very much!"

Fried potato balls weren't worth much, but this was a gift from a god, representing a different kind of significance.

Even if all his divine power was sealed, and he became like an ordinary person, a god was still a god. No adventurer dared to say they weren't respectful towards gods.

"If you meet my child in the future, please take care of him."

"Of course, God Takemikazuchi."

"Hahaha~ Then I'll take advantage of this!"

Takemikazuchi understood very well that August was giving him respect.

After all, fried potato balls weren't worth much, one cost 300 Valis. Even a few of them amounted to just a thousand Valis.

At this price, in Orario, you could only eat one fried potato ball or a piece of black bread.

After taking these fried potato balls, August handed them to Ais.

Looking at the fried potato balls handed over by August, Ais hesitated for a while, took out one of her red bean cream-flavored fried potato balls, and reluctantly gave it to August.

Seeing Ais offering a fried potato ball, August couldn't help but be happy. A three-nothing girl gave him food, this was the rhythm of increasing affection.

August naturally wouldn't refuse, took the fried potato ball, and took a bite.

To be honest, the taste was mediocre. For someone from the modern world, the taste of this fried potato ball was at most in the middle range among the delicacies of the modern world.

For August, the taste of the fried potato ball wasn't particularly good, but Ais enjoyed it.

That appearance was like an extremely cute, greedy little hamster.

It looked incredibly adorable, making August unable to resist wanting to pat her head.

Coincidentally, just as Ais was enjoying the delicious fried potato ball, and August was watching her with a smile, three people walked out from around the corner.

Two dark-skinned Amazons and an elf with orange long hair.

"Hey, Lefiya, isn't that Ais over there?"

Tiona looked at the two people coming towards them and asked subconsciously.

"What? Lady Ais?"

When she heard the words 'Ais,' Lefiya's eyes were immediately filled with little hearts.

Rumble~

However, the next second, when she saw the scene in front of her, it was like a bolt from the blue.

This man and woman, one holding food with a happy face, the other smiling and looking at each other, it was simply a scene as beautiful as a painting.

However, for Lefiya, it was equivalent to the end of the world.

Lady Ais she admired was taken away by a man.

"Yo, Ais, August!"

Tiona shouted loudly, after all, they saw acquaintances, so it was natural to say hello.

Her voice naturally attracted the attention of August and Ais.

Upon seeing the three people not far away, Ais went up to meet them.

"Ais, did you really go to the dungeon with August?"

As soon as they met, Tiona couldn't help but inquire.

"Yeah!"

Ais nodded. She wouldn't lie, nor would she hide anything from her companions.

"Wow, did you witness the spatial skill the Captain talked about?"

"Yeah!"

"Is it amazing?"

"Yes!"

"Uh, Ais, can you stop saying 'yes' all the time?"

"Yes!"

Tiona was suddenly speechless. Although this was very Ais, it made her uncomfortable.
