Life with the girls:
A full day has passed since we went the the 'Nights' mansion, but still on, Mary still had not forgot about her traumatizing experience. The death of someone can cause unrecognizable mental pain, to someone. And Eva happens to have witness the death of someone important to her.
"I wonder if there is a way I would help. or should I leave her alone, maybe if I did that she could recover on her own. And maybe, I wouldn't hear the words:'you don't know what I am going through'. Maybe I should do that."
Moving from my bed, I made my way to the wash room to rinse my face.
"Aaahh."
I then took my sponge and soap, to move to the bathtub and took a shower. After finishing, I made my way to the kitchen and started planning for breakfast. Mary's favourite are pancakes and bacon. Aishia's favourites are milk tea with toasted bread and fried eggs with vegetables. "Okay, shows like I am about to get busy."
As if she could sense me, Aishia quickly reformed besides me, trying to see if she could help.
"Can I help with the food you are about to prepare!" She said. Cooking might take a long time if one person does it. I guess, it wouldn't hurt if I let her help.
Without a moment to think, I handed her a frying.
"Here you go, fry the eggs. Incase, you forgot, the eggs are located into up right inside the fridge." I explained.
"Ahm. I will give it my best!"
AIshia quickly went into the fridge, grabbed some eggs and broke their shells into two halves. From, there I left Aishia's station of cooking. I went to there high shelves and grabbed the pancake mix along with vanilla extract. Coming down from there I heard a loud shout from the frying station.
"Is she okay?"
Quickly placing the pancake mix and vanilla extract on the table, I went to the station, to look at Aishia's situation.
"Huh! Are you serious!" I said.
"I am sorry, so so sorry." Aishia with a apologetic face said.
"Alright, just do the pancake, I will fry the eggs, the bacons and pancake mix."
"Okay."
We changed positions after, and started preparing the food for Ourselves. Within an hour, we finished preparing the food, Mary got out of her room and started to eat after.

Shopping in the new world:
After we were done with our food, Mary reminded me of her absence of clothes, she barely had 3 normal clothes. The only ones that she had was: a long plain white wear, a black top, and black pants. As she said that, I looked into my wallet which had about 28 gold coins inside.
"I should be able to get us some clothes, capes, undergarments, and winter wear along with weapons." I said.
"Yeah, but if we did that, we would have to cross into the Moon Kingdom borders, then recross it back here again." Aishia said as she thought of a quicker way.
"Well. If you don't work hard, you don't get what you want or need!" Mary exclaimed.
"Considering the circumstances, even if I teleported us back to the Moon Kingdom, we would still have to make our way back here again.
"Yeah, but that is not a hustle for us though, I am right!" Aishia shouted to us.
"Hey big brother, how does the Moon kingdom look?" Mary asked all of a sudden.
Even if I try and ignore it, the fact that Mary did not see the colour of this world still boils in my blood. From childhood, she has been treated like a pet toy, and worked ever since the day she was born.
"Well, the Moon kingdom, is a place that has a balanced day time and night time. 12 hours a day, and 12 a night. But most people use 4 hours as a resting period, but it can still be considered sleeping. It also has a lot of technology too." I explained.
In fact, that is the birth place of Lily, Ichika and Nanase. That also means, they can produce geniuses.
"You can go, after our business here, is finished." Aishia said.
~~~~~~~~
The shopping center of the Moon Kingdom:
Right finishing with our business, I manipulated my mana, then created a black hole teleportation there.
The 'Black Hole' teleportation: is a form of teleportation, erases the distance between two separate locations. It splits the location from where you are to where you want to go to. Making it one of the fastest ways to travel, the only thing you need is charkra and the location memorised.
"Kkhhhhhrrr." The sound of the teleportation made.
From there we walked from the outer walls into the inner walls. The outer walls were high end walls that protected the country from enemy attacks. Though, the Star Kingdom didn't have the luxury, they did build one made of magic detectors. The differences between these two walls are: one can stop enemy attacks physically, and magically. While the other detects the enemy, then plans on ahead, on how to defeat them.
I pulled out my phone and searched for the 'Snowfall Shopping Center' actually, this institution was built by Lily. This is where her inventions are built, tested or in case they need more refinement, this is where they are refined. But, this place isn't just for that but, they also sell clothes, furniture, light magic electronics, magic games, magic television, shoes, etc. In conclusion, if anyone wants something, without a doubt in my mind, I would most definitely point to this institution.
We started walking towards that direction, which was a 20 minute walk, a bus would be shorter. Luckily, we were just at the bus stop, which coincidentally had a bus already arriving at the station.
"Well, this is good for us." I said.
We walked inside the bus and got seated. I sat the back role, near the window, about maybe the 4th seat to the right. That was and still is my favourite bus seat. Aishia and Mary sat at the seat opposite to mine, they sat at the left seat, which faced the left window. During the ride, I saw many things, which naturally to me, I used as landmarks and destination references. Things to point out; like the destination you have seen before. Watching through the window; I was a giant river, flowing around the entire country, then a huge 4 apartment complex building in the center.
That place would be normally, a place where rich people lived, or where the poor lived but worked for the government in return for their homes. The bus wasn't as crowded as most days, making the experience wonderful. In about 10 minutes into our ride, the stop to our destination came visible. "Only two more stops." Whispered Aishia, who was excited to try on new clothes.
Aishia, is a type of girl, who like Lily, Miharu, or Christina had a passion for fashion. The way they dress, style their hair, and makeup the entire flow. Even after reincarnation, Lily and Mary hadn't stopped with that obsession.
Finally, the bus came to a stop, we finally reached our destination. We entered into the facility and walked straight to a worker there.
"Hey, how can I help you three?" The worker asked.
"Can you please help them find some clothes, I will be heading to the up floors to get some equipment we need." I explained to her.
"I understand, please follow me girls, we are going to get you dressed up."
"Okay, thank you so much." Mary replied with a kind smile.
From there, I took the elevator to the upper floor. Floor 4 to be precise, which was also an assassin shop. The reason was: because they sold all weapons but mostly the ones suited for assassins. Like: short swords, assassin knives, poison, long swords =, etc. I went to the head accountant and gave him my list, since I had thrown the other ones in the ocean. Because, I didn't want them to be found ever, this was also due to the finger prints on them, which could directly get me under suspicion.
"Hello. Can I get some kunais, shirenkins, 2 short knives, capes and suits." I told him.
"Okay kid. That would be 3 gold pieces, but if you have a student identification card then it will drop to 2 gold pieces."
"Yeah I do."
From there I pulled out my students identification card and handed it to him. Then his facial expression changed.
"Wow! You went to the 'Academy of Nations National Institution' that is wonderful for you." He said, as an irreplaceable smile formed on his face.
"Yeah. I did for a while, but I had to quit to take care of some things back at home, but I am still good."
"Hmm. If we were all lucky like some of you then life would have been much easier for some of us." As the man said this a hint of sadness occurred on his face.
"Why? Did you want to study there?" I asked him curiously.
"Oh no! I didn't want it for myself... But for my son, who learns hard to the best of his abilities. But unfortunately, we don't have the money to support nor sponsor to help him!" The man explained their situation to me with a kind voice.
"Ah now I see... Oh! I can help your son get into the academy, but first I need to make a call."
With that, I pulled out my phone again and called the king of the Northern Kingdom.
Within the first 3 rings he answered the phone.
"Hello, Rial."
"Hello your Majesty, how are you doing?" I asked.
"I am fine but what is the reason for this unexpected call?" He asked.
"Do you know if the academy can accept a student from the Moon kingdom, I put my own word on it."
"It should be possible but the process is long and ineffective." He said.
After that comment, the man seemed to have given up deep down.
"How about, he becomes my replacement but in a different class since that will be determined, when he writes the written exams." I said.
"That should be a more faster approach, yeah that could very much possible. But when is he coming? There would be a special exam in the Kingdom of Moons, so I guess we could meet him there too." He explained.
I looked at the man, trying to see where he wanted to take his son's future to. The man nodded, agreeing to meet them here instead of going there himself.
"Yeah, he would do that." I said to him.
"Alright, what is his name and your reason for helping him?"
"His name is Rico Rica, And my reason is everyone needs a supporting hand in every situation, and that is why I am helping them."
"Wow! I never expected those words to come from a person like you Rial!" The said amusingly.
"Sure."
After that, I ended the call. But the man with happy tears in his eyes clung to me. This feeling, it brings warmth to the human heart. Whenever, I do something good, I feel like I am doing myself something good.
"weeh!" The man still cried.
"No worries. Take good care of your son."
"A-alright my g-good man! Oh, y-yeah here are the items you ordered."
"Thank you!" I said the man after giving him the application forms his sin would need.
After that sorrowful encounter, I stored the weapons inside of a black hole portal, where my parents house is still stored.
"Hey big brother. We have finished with our shopping, can we go now. I am so hungry!" Mary said in hunger.
"Okay. Let's head out."
From there we left the mall, we headed back to the borders. Where, tomorrow we will continue on our journey.
