Chapter 32: Chapter 32 A Chaotic Day Part 02.
On a crowded street where people filled one sight in Shibuya. A lone figure of a girl walking with heavy steps, avoiding the people that stand in her way. But the people around her who noticed the girl actually opened the path for her to walk.
Because they could feel a raging demon of Hanya behind her back. With a pale face, everyone makes a way for the girl to pass.
In a society where superpower was a common thing. That kind of behavior could have been tolerated, for if the situation had happened in the previous world where Soma at. She will probably get arrested because of the disturbance she caused to other people. As for the people who made way for her to pass were filled with sympathy and some envy.
Hina with a frown on her face, because of her ruined days. Walk in a fast-paced trying to get as far away as possible from Soma whom she met earlier. In the corner of her sight, she caught the appearance of a box machine that offered some light drink for everyone who gave them money for their consumption.
She halted her steps before approaching the machine and took out a five hundred coin in her ring. With a clicking sound, the coin was devoured and the button around the display began to shine. She pressed one of the buttons at the top of the row that showed a pink carton of milk.
It dropped down and Hina collected it, then tore down the straw and plunged it into the cardboard and enjoyed the sweet and fresh taste of strawberry milk. It was one of her favorite drinks.
"..What a bad day".
Clearly her meeting with Soma earlier spelled doom for the day she had been waiting for. Hina intended to enjoy the leisurely walk around Shibuya looking for some new outfit or maybe looking for some tasty food. She even shortened the training session she had this morning because of how precious today was for her.
There is no specific reason or even special accommodations. It was her cheating day after the groundless hard work she put into her training every day. Today was the day for her to let loose and enjoy the freedom she set aside as one of her routines. As to not bore her mind.
However, all of that was for naught, she met the person she didn't want to meet the most. Soma the boy who is always using tricks to gullible her parents, ruined it. She put aside the matter of the boy in the corner of her mind. Then she felt a slight vibration from her jacket and took the phone turning it on only to find a new message from her mom. Asking her to buy some cheese and milk.
{Can you buy some Cheese and milk?}
She skillfully operates the phone using only one hand and replies to the message her mom sends.
{Okay, the usual right?}
{Yes, please}
{Okie..}
She turned off her phone before putting it back into the jacket. The drink in her hand was turned light, empty. so she threw the carton into a nearby trash can, before looking for the nearby grocery store.
"This place will do, ah!?"
"Hm!?".
For the second time in a day. Hina met again with Soma. She saw Soma was holding a huge amount of snacks and some ingredients for his dinner. That snacks though She assume that is enough for sustaining a person for a couple of months, and it worth for two people.
Soma stiffened his body. With a flustered expression, he stared straight at Hina's eyes before flashing his awkward smile.
"..Hi, we meet again".
Hina, who received that, knitted her brows together, as she began to ignore his greeting and slipped past him and entered the store to buy what she asked for.
She could turn around and leave the place, but she thought that it would be a waste of time searching for another store, and for most of it, her pride didn't allow her to be willing to flinch in front of him.
Her heart which had calmed, began to stir again thinking at the boy she met earlier, while she browsed the section that sold the thing she needed to buy.
"Thank you for the purchase".
She didn't think that this would happen. With how big and many grocery stores in Shibuya are, she met with Soma for the second time in a day. This situation could only be found in the Manga she read.
After thinking it through there is no other way because the store was near the station where the two met earlier. So she could justify that it was probably just some kind of coincidence.
Taking a couple of deep breaths and exhaling all of the displeasure in her heart. She began to switch her gear and look up for the day she would spend enjoying herself.
"Let's go, have some fun".
On the other side. Soma after finishing purchasing a huge amount of snacks, ingredients, and a gallon of water that he already stored inside the ring. Pondering, what should he do next after this. The sun was still in the east, it's a sign that he still had so much time to spend.
"Might as well spend some money".
He is now in Shibuya, the place where all of the youth gather to have some fun or search for some food to alleviate their hunger. Besides, he got some money to spend after he dived into the dungeon yesterday. Well, even though it was still not exchanged.
The mana core that Soma had in his hands. Can be sold to the Awakeners associations that are spread all around the island. The price was dependent on how thick the mana that was contained inside the core was and for the Goblin mana core, he got from the expedition yesterday. He remembered that the value for it was only a thousand yen for a single mana core.
The risk and the value were greatly unbalanced. The risk of exploring the dungeon is of course his life, but the value that they will get is rather not worth what the risk is.
However, with Soma's high luck, he collected more than fifty of those things with the addition of a Hobgoblin Mana core. So it was a rather satisfying journey for his first earning from the dungeon.
After some time looking around the place he visited one of the stores that sold many books and Soma was now entering the place that was filled with a shelf brimming with books. His eyes were shining in anticipation, for this was the place he rarely visited in his previous life due to being busy with his college studies and part-time job.
It doesn't mean he didn't read some of it though, rather he missed the sensation of holding the weight of stacked paper in his hand. The distinctive smell of paper and ink is what he missed from reading a book. This might be a chance for him, for in this world where he is regressed to a child and had the leeway for the money he earned was pretty good.
He couldn't help but be excited about what kind of story this world had to offer to him.
While observing the row of books that he was unfamiliar with. Then in the corner where the self was filled with Manga corner. He found something familiar, turning his gaze to look at the book specifically before extending his right hand and trying to grab it when.
"Oops, Excuse me. Huh?".
Soma turned his gaze to the side because his hands were bumping with another person's hand trying to apologize, but stiffened in his speech. Simultaneously they opened their eyes and said in a perfect sync.
""Again!?"".
