Chapter 131: Other World
You know, I never thought that they would buy as many items as they can. I thought they would only buy at least five or ten at maximum clothes but nope. They buy at least twenty clothes for each of them.
Even Lucina, who did not really like clothes shopping, got carried away after seeing many training clothes. I also get carried away when I see how good their training clothes are.
I mean, the training clothes have a seal on them that can increase the gravity around us like the one in the naruto world. Not only that, these training clothes will heal and make our muscles adapt to the intense training.
I did not need to brew some potions every time we wanted to do intense training with these training clothes.
Not only that but there is also the problem of Lucina and her problem when she encounters a new material to increase her mastery over crafting. The textile used to make the clothes is unique to the Youkai, who grew their own textile using a unique technique.
I need to hold Lucina from shaking the poor shop owner who says she cannot give her the secret of their textile-making technique.
Anyway, after shopping for at least three hours, we decided to take a break in the local restaurant. So we order up a light meal and drink.
"Hey, Isaac-kun. Can I ask you a question?"
"Of course."
"Where do you store all those clothes? I don't mind if you did not answer that question."
"Well, how can I say this? This is like the scroll given by Lady Amaterasu."
"Ah! Pocket dimension?"
"That is right. However, I use it with a different method."
"I see. That is really convenient."
"That it is. I'm fortunate to have it."
And I'm fortunate to have this power. I snap from my thoughts when the waitress comes back with a tray of food and drinks in her hand. We begin to eat the food before we continue our exploration.
~Three days later~
We waved our hands to both Yasaka and Kunou before I teleported all of us to our pocket dimension. In these past three days, we have enjoyed many kinds of holiday places in Japan that mundane people cannot approach.
From a unique temple to a beautiful waterfall, we visit them all. Yasaka even invited us to the private beach she owned for her and her family. The beach itself is beautiful. There is no trash lying around the beach, and the water is so clear, I can see the bottom of the sea.
We did not only laze around. We continue our daily training. Every morning, we continue doing our training. 30 minutes full sprint, 200 push up, 200 sit up, and 200 pull up all with a heavyweight. That is a warm-up.
The next stage is sparring with each other. Ginerva spar with Elizabeth while I fight against Lucina. While my mother and Queen Dowager did not join our sparring, they joined the warm-up and did some basic katas with a wooden sword.
Yasaka and Kunou join us as well in our training and sparring. Let me tell you; those tails are really tricky to fight. It is like fighting a person with extra nine arms, but these 'arms' are soft and fluffy.
Anyway, we stayed for three days in Yasaka's palace before we decided to go to the Suikoden world for a few moments. I want my family to have a rune on their body just in case they need it.
We walk toward the Dimension Hopping room, where I set the time when we arrive. I set the time we arrive as a week after the last time I came to the Suikoden world. We walk through the portal, and a few seconds later, the world changes.
We walk outside of pocket dimension, and I create a massive magic circle to teleport us to a nearby location to the South Window City. When we arrive, we walk inside the South Window after getting checked by the gate guard.
After being checked, we walked inside the city of South Window. I snap from my thoughts when I hear Queen Dowager saying.
"Oh my, if I don't know we are in the other world, I thought you take us to the eastern continent, dear Isaac."
"Really?"
"Yes. The building is almost the same as the building in the Eastern Continent."
"I see."
I never go to the eastern continent, but from the book I read and from what Richard says, the eastern continent is like the Asian continent. The south window city is like combining the old Chinese and Japanese in terms of their architecture.
Not only that, but the clothing in South Window city is also like the clothing used by the people in China during the time of the Han dynasty.
"Have you been to the Eastern Continent?"
"Of course, It was the time when my husband was still alive. I'm being sent there to be an ambassador between the Vulux Kingdom and the Asari Kingdom."
"I see."
We continue to walk through the city, and after a few minutes of walking, we arrive in front of the rune shop.
"This is the place where I get my rune from."
I look at Elizabeth and say.
"This is the place where all those black bars come from when you scan me, Eli."
"Really? Also, did you say that this world is called Suikoden?"
"That is right. Are you familiar with the game?"
"Yes. I once played the first game and the second one. A long time ago."
"Then you must still remember some of it, no?"
"Just a little bit. I remember that the rune in this world is different from the one coming from another world, right?"
"Yes. They are different."
"I see. Can I really have the same power as yours, Isaac?"
"Of course. You are a family, after all."
I smile at her and pat her head. A second later, we walked inside the store and saw that it had not changed much. When we are inside the store, Lunaria greets us with a smile.
"Ah! Sir Isaac, it is nice to meet you once again. What can we do for you?"
"I want to buy some rune for my companion."
"Of course. Please follow me. We will go to a private room."
We follow Lunaria to the room in the back, and when we are inside, Lunaria serves us some tea.
"So, what can I do for you?"
"As I said earlier, I want to buy some rune for my family."
"Of course. Do you want to see the list of runes available?"
"Of course. Oh! Before that, do you accept gold bars?"
"Of course, but we need to test it first to check if it was an authentic gold bar. I'm sorry to do this, but a few days ago, someone tried to buy our rune with fake gold."
"Of course. Here you can check those two gold bars."
I took out two gold bars weighing 10 kg each. The gold we got from the Shinto Faction in the DxD world.
"Thank you for your understanding. Please select which rune you want while I give this gold to our appraisal in the back. I will be back in a few seconds."
"Of course."
I passed the rune list to Lucina, Elizabeth, Mother, and Queen Dowager. I then begin to read the list of runes on the list as well. The list is shorter than usual, and I think they are more expensive than before? Huh, weird.
Is there something that makes the price of rune increase? Hmmm.
I look around the paper and see there is not a single rune I want. I want to buy an offensive rune, but there is nothing. There is only support and defensive runes like the Flowing Rune and the Mother Earth Rune.
"Isaac, You do know that we did not know about these runes, right?"
Oh right. I never explain what a rune is to my mother and the others.
"Then let me explain to you the basics of rune first."
With that, I explain to them what a rune is and how it works. Then, after a few seconds of explanation, I begin to show them the basic elemental rune.
"I see. That means the one called the Mother Earth Rune, Flowing Rune, and the Cyclone Rune is the upgraded version of the Earth, Water, and Wind rune."
"That is right. I don't know what the base version gives as a passive ability, but the upgraded version gives Lucina and me passive elemental control. Lucina can control Wind and Fire, while I can control water and the control is more powerful when I control the seawater."
"I see. Hmmm, I guess I will take the Mother Earth Rune. It says here its main use is to give support in healing and support defensive ability."
"Yes. While there is another offensive spell, the Earth-type rune's main ability is for support."
My mother nodded her head and looked pleased with her choice.
"And what does this Resurrection Rune do, Isaac?"
Before I could answer Eli's question, Lunaria gets inside the room and says,
"A rune containing light magic. Works well against undead monsters, specializes in both healing and offensive magic. It also can resurrect a newly departed person. Beware, however, that it cannot resurrect a person that died from old ages. If you do that, it will not resurrect them, but rather it will turn them into undead."
"Really? How long the person is dead before I cannot use the rune to resurrect the said person?"
"30 minutes. You can only use it to resurrect a person that died in less than 30 minutes. You can also only use that spell once every year. So be careful when you use it, don't want to waste that spell."
Eli nodded her head before looking back at the paper in front of her. Then, seeing there is no more question, Lunaria looks at me and gives back the gold bar.
"That is real gold. We are willing to buy it for four hundred thousand Potchs for each gold. Are you satisfied with the price?"
"Sure."
"Great! Now, which rune do you want to buy?"
"Before that, can I ask you the reason why the price of the rune is increasing once again?"
"Ah, It was because of the Highland who occupied the Greenhill city. Greenhill city is our main supplier of rune orbs, and after the occupation of the highland, they restricted any export of rune orbs. With the city of Radat having been occupied by the Highland, we now did not have any supplier from the outside state."
Wait, the highlands already occupy the Radat Town? If the canon story is still moving, then the 3rd and 4th highland army company will attack the north window.
"Is the New State Army already try to retake Radat?"
"Yes. They have done that and failed two days ago."
Meaning that they will move out soon. I hope that they will not attack anytime soon because I did not want to get my family involved in this war.
"Highlander! Highlander marching toward the South Window!"
Damn you, Murphy.
