Spending Money [4]
The artifact was perfect for his future needs.
He had planned to get one like this in the future, but never thought he would find it so early.
Taking the cane in his hand, he admired its structure.
Placing it on the floor, he found that it automatically adjusted itself to the user's height and need.
Waving it a little in the air, another thing that surprised him was the lightness of the item.
It even had a small retractable blade at its bottom.
Setting it aside, Amon picked up the black cloak and the interface opened up.

Amon nodded with satisfaction.
This was exactly what he wanted from a concealment artifact.
He looked at the manager.
"How much would this whole set be?"
The manager nodded with glee.
"The whole set costs 250k Exlor, however, with the set and membership discount, the final price will be 100k." He informed.
Nodding back at the fairness of the price, Amon told him that he'll buy it.
"Will you buy with real cash or watchband transfer?"
"Watchband transfer."
The manager handed him a device, signaling him to touch the face of the watch with the screen.
Doing just that, Amon heard a ting resound from the watch.
TING!
He looked at his watchband.
[Exlor Balance: 900,000]
After informing that he would just take the artifacts from here rather than having them delivered at the door, Amon left the shop.
Realizing that it was close to sunset, he decided that it would be better to go back in order to not worry his sister.
He left the City Centre, and stored his items in the [Inventory].
Arriving back at the apartment, he entered it, only to find it empty and dark.
Turning on the lights, he found that Katherine still wasn't home.
It was then that a sudden realization struck him.
His sister was the student council president, so of course she would come home late.
He sighed.
'Guess I'll just be sitting around alone here till she comes.' He thought but suddenly, a cough resounded in his head.
[I'm still here for you to talk to, you know.] Zepyhra complained.
For some reason, Amon felt she was pouting.
He smiled, thinking to play with her a little.
He nonchalantly waved his hand in the air.
'Nah, you take everything I say to you as flattery.'
[Hey! I was just joking.]
He laughed heartily.
'I know I know, I'm just joking.'
He heard a 'hmph' echo in his head, causing him to chuckle.
'Well, I should take a shower in the meantime.' He thought and was about to head in the shower, before he suddenly stopped.
'Wait....'
A realization struck him.
'Zepyhra.'
The charming voice of the goddess came a moment later.
[Yeah?]
With a small amount of fear, he asked her.
'Since you are able to see everything around me, aren't you going to able to see me naked when I shower....?'
However, the answer came instantly.
[Yeah, so what? You talk as if I didn't see you the first time.]
He suddenly shuddered with shock.
'Wait, first time wh-' He remembered.
In the morning.
He wanted to facepalm himself now.
But....
'That's perverted you know?' He rebutted.
He felt the goddess inside his head shrug.
[Well, uh it's not like I have a choice. I can close my eyes but why should I? If we are going to be together for the whole life, then seeing you whole is nothing my dear.] She answered.
The answer was shocking.
He went silent for a whole minute with embarrassment because of the latter part.
Wasn't it him usually teasing her?
At last, he just said two words to her.
'Shut up.'
[That's not a nice thing to say to the ladies my dear.]
Having no energy left to answer back, he gave up.
He lingered for some moments at the bathroom door, still not having the mindset to go in.
[Oh come on! You already did it once in the morning, and I saw you. There's nothing to hide from me now.] She complained.
He sighed.
'You are right I guess.'
Diminishing some last bits of hesitation, he jumped inside the shower.
Trying to think that she wasn't there, he quietly took a shower.
*****
[After 20 Minutes]
Amon finally came out of the shower, feeling refreshed and wearing casual clothes.
The goddess, who had been teasing him throughout the whole shower, spoke once again.
[See? That wasn't so hard, don't know what you were being so shy about.]
He clicked his tongue.
'If you were in my place then you would now.'
He felt Zepyhra chuckle.
[Honestly, I would have no problem taking a shower with you being my head and seeing me naked. I mean, come on, I chose you instead of the three things, so shouldn't this be normal] She said nonchalantly.
However, the boy in question had his mouth opened.
'HUHH!??'
[What 'huh'? This is normal boy, you chose me so take responsibility.]
Amon went completely silent.
Finally, he chose to completely set this topic aside and say nothing.
[Hey! Don't leave me hang-]
He raised his hand.
'Let's just cook something rather than uhhh this conversation please.'
[Oh, alright. What are you going to cook then?]
He shrugged.
'Let's just check what's stored in the refrigerator.' He answered and walked towards the open kitchen in the lounge.
In this world, though not like modern refrigerators of his world, there were devices made with mana that world like refrigerators.
And what were they named?
Refrigerators, the author was just too lazy to name them anything else.
He walked towards the metal device called a refrigerator and opened the door.
He was quite experienced in cooking, since he often learnt it from his parents and after their death, he was the one who cooked for both his sister and him.
Finding a variety of ingredients such as mana beast meat and such inside, he took them out after deciding what he was going to make.
Feeling nostalgic, he decided to make his sister's favourite dish.
A Chicken Sandwich.
Or, A Beast Meat Sandwich.
