I Was Suddenly Transferred To Another Universe But I Will Live My Own Way.

Chapter 25

I thanked Mathilda and parted ways with her in front of her shop. Then, I made my way back through the busy street towards the estate. I passed countless people strolling the streets and enjoying the warm air. I could even see tourists mingling with the local people, characterized by their vibrant clothes and accompanied by local guides.

Soon, I reached the Meridian market that was on my way to the estate. There were various items on display. A large vegetable market covered the northern side of the market and the east side had many magical tools for sale, with vendors shouting prices loudly. Large buildings that housed diverse shops lined the west side of the market, selling poor quality items to high end items. As I was looking at the different items for sale, I sensed a group of people in the corner of an alleyway between two shady buildings that were talking quietly. The buildings looked like bars with large build people waiting outside. It looked more like a place of trouble. Due to my heightened senses, I could clearly make out their conversation.

"Hey, I haven't seen the elf," one of them said. It was a bald guy with a scar on his eye that covered half his face.

"You mean the golden haired adventurer?" Another asked.

"Yeah, I heard that someone is looking for her and is paying quite the amount," the man with the scar said.

"I was thinking of asking her to form a party with me." He added.

"You bastard." The rest of them began to laugh.

"Haha, I've been starving for a long time. I was thinking of taking her to a dungeon."

"Wouldn't it be bad if we damaged the goods?" Another asked.

"It's alright. A little damage won't be noticeable." He began to laugh.

"She never forms a party with anyone. How are you going to persuade her?"

"I have an idea."

"You sly fox. I'd like to join that party as well."

They began to laugh.

It eerily felt like they were talking about Ashryn. I remembered what Herbert said about there being very few elf adventurers. And most of the elves I had seen had silver hair with very few having golden hairs. And I haven't seen any other elf adventurers which made my suspicions all the more valid. I promised myself to look after Ashryn.

It was a twenty minutes walk to the estate. As I reached the estate, Elias welcomed me.

"Welcome back, sir."

"Can you contact a furniture shop?"

"Sure. What would you like to buy?"

"I'd like to decorate the house. It seems a bit too empty."

"Certainly. I'll get on it right away."

After sending him away, I walked inside. Revati and Ashryn were talking, sitting near the garden. I slowly walked upto them.

"Did you find anyone?"

"Yeah, they will be here by evening."

"That's good."

"I'll also ask them to create a laboratory for you."

"Oh, alright. I'll be able to work right away then."

"What work?"

"Ah, she's a scien.....a researcher and a craftsman."

"Oh, I see."

"Have you thought about the first item?" I asked Revati.

"Yeah, the washing item. I'd like to work on that."
