After Stefan reached the place where he set the coordinates. He stopped to observe his surroundings.
In the dim light, he saw his own footprints. He cheered internally and followed the footprints.
Half an hour later, he reached the vicinity of his house. It was already dark and silent around him. Every time a gust of wind blew, he shivered from the cold.
He feels as if he is being stared at by something or someone. He decided to clarify his guess with Heli, 'Heli, can you scan the surroundings and tell me if there is something or someone here?'
'Wait a minute, Host', Heli said and scanned the surroundings. A blue line appeared in Stefan's vision, and he glanced cautiously around him.
'Host!', Heli said in a shocked and panicked way.
'W...W..What happened Heli?', he subconsciously spoke in a scared manner.
'Host, there are a lot of low-level beasts in this area, we need to get out of here quickly otherwise you will be surrounded'.
'What?!!', Stefan was shocked to know that, he observed his surroundings. There were many small movements in his peripheral vision, which were barely noticeable if not observed carefully.
But then he suddenly thought of something. He looked at his wrist and found that the blood on his robe has been dissolved. 'Since the blood was washed away, then there must be something on him, that is attracting them'.
For the first time since he came into this new world, he told the system to scan himself and find if there is anything suspicious about him.
He did not notice when so many beasts slowly crept up towards him. Stefan accelerated his pace and walked as if he had not noticed anything.
He thinks, that if he showed any type of abnormal behavior, then these beasts would attack him directly, without giving him any chance to react.
So, he slowed down his breathing and walked cautiously, trying his best not to make any sound.
....
''Are we still waiting for Liam?'', asked a bored voice.
The person standing in front of him was silent for some time and then replied coldly, ''Go!''.
...
Ethan could really not understand William's thought process. In the morning, this person asked him about that strange box thing called 'refrgratpr'' or whatever it was.
Then, after wasting the whole morning, he took Ethan to search for the strange box.
In the afternoon, William dragged Ethan to stand in front of the restaurant to wait for Liam.
They didn't even have anything for lunch.
'Woo..ooo..ooo, Why am I so miserable', Ethan thought, crying inwardly and lamenting his poor fate.
Waiting.. waiting.. They waited till the sky became black. But still did not see any shadow of Liam.
While going back to the inn, he even asked around about Liam in the town, but no one seems to know about him.
He felt tired and hungry. Sometimes, he wondered how William was able to persist in such matters without changing his face.
.....
Soon, Stefan reached his home. He ordered Heli to disable the invisibility function and then walked inside without speaking anything.
As soon, as he closed the door, something rushed towards him at a fast speed.
He, subconsciously, stretched out his hand to catch it. Only after coming back to his senses, did he realize, that it was Aouli who rushed towards him.
''Brother, you are back!!!'', Li said joyfully.
''Yes, Brother is back, but he also brought someone with him'', Stefan replied gently and hugged Li in his arms while walking towards the bedroom.
Off course, not his personal bedroom. It was also the same as his bedroom, but he had already removed his personal things.
After walking inside the room and standing in front of the bed, he moved Princess Esha out of his space bracelet.
''Woahh..'', Li quickly put his little hands in front of his mouth, as to not disturb his brother.
Stefan covered the little princess with a blanket and then observed her carefully.
The little princess looked to be about fourteen years old. Her hair was blonde in color which shone with a beautiful brilliance. She has a delicate little face and her cheek has some baby fat. She has long ears and a calming aura around her. She looked smaller when covered with the blanket.
The rest of the things about her can only be known when she is awake.
In Stefan's eyes, he was an adult and Esha was just a child, like Li.
He stepped out of the room and Li followed him out. Aouli asked Stefan who was that girl, and Stefan replied that she was someone he found injured in the forest. And because he had healing powers, he bought her home to cure her.
''OOhh.. Brother, when will the beautiful sister wake up?'', Li asked Stefan.
''It depends. She should wake up by tomorrow morning at most'', Stefan replied.
Li woke up half an hour ago and only ate a packet of potato chips, so he was very hungry. He salivated at the thought of eating delicious food made by his brother. ''Then.. what are we going to have for dinner today?''
Stefan thought that he was already very tired and did not want to cook any complicated dishes. So, he decided and replied, ''Today, we are going to eat noodles. With some special side dishes''.
Yes. Aouli always thought that the ice cream was something his brother had cooked for him using a mysterious technique.
Aouli is very smart, he knows that such secrets cannot be disclosed to anyone. That was why he never questioned about the sudden appearance of ice cream and those strange snacks, he had never seen. But he did not doubt anything, he only thought that he did not remember eating such snacks because he had lost his memory.
....
Stefan boiled the noodles and made some porridge for Esha. He took out some rice, washed it, added water, some cabbage, and shredded pork, and put some salt. Then he closed the pot and sat in the living room.
'Huh..', he finally had some time to read the notification. He opened the system interface and clicked on the recent notifications.
[Side Quest]

{The princess of the Elf Kingdom 'Princess Esha' went deep into the jungle in order to find a rare and precious herb, 'Gringera'. But this is all a setup.

Without hesitation, Stefan selected the system mall. After all, only the system mall can serve as a long-term meal ticket. It can assure him and help him whenever he is in a difficult situation.
[Are you sure, you want to choose this reward?]
{Yes/No}
Stefan clicked on the yes button without thinking.
{Fifteen points have been deducted to open the system mall.}
[It is observed that the user has to pay three hundred points to the system. Does the host want the system to deduct the calculated amount?]
{Yes/No}
Stefan selected No with a black face. He never expected that the system would try to deduct his points, as soon as he got them.
He closed the new notification interface and opened the Reward section.
'Huh??!!', 'What is this?', Stefan said excitedly in his mind.
Heli asked what happened to Stefan. Stefan told him to see the reward section, where an additional mission and reward were presented to him.
Hello, Bunnies! As the author said that she will be busy this month, she decided to write a long chapter as compensation for the readers.

[Additional Quest]
{Help Princess Esha search for the herb 'Gringera'.
Status: COMPLETED
Reward: The user unlocks the playback privilege.
For further information, it is recommended to explore the playback privilege without external help.
Although Stefan could not use the privilege without knowing about it, he was still very happy to get an additional reward.
After the excitement passed, he felt as if he has forgotten some things. Then he smelled the rich aroma of porridge. He immediately stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Stefan removed the cooker and left it open for the porridge to get cooled down.
He scooped out the noodles and carried them to the dining table.
''Li, come out, dinner is ready''. Stefan called Aouli and Heli for dinner.
Just as Li and Stefan sat on the chair, Heli came out from one of the rooms and sat on the opposite side of them.
''Let us start eating'', said Stefan.
....
After their dinner, Stefan filled a bowl with porridge, carried a container filled with hot water, and went towards the room where Esha was resting.
He put two drops of healing potion in the porridge and mixed it, after that, he first kept the hot water and then kept the porridge above it. In this way, if Esha wakes up in the middle of the night and feels hungry, she can eat the porridge kept on the table.
He saw that Esha was still asleep, even after so much disturbance, so he switched off the lights but kept the table lamp on.
.....
It was two a.m., when Esha woke up feeling hungry. She was still not sober enough to realize the change of surroundings.
Her delicate nose smelled a delicious scent. Her eyes followed the smell, and she opened the lid of the covered bowl.
She stared at it for some minutes, but eventually, her aching stomach won over her other thoughts and she started eating it.
The porridge tasted more delicious because of the addition of the healing potion added by Stefan.
After her stomach was full, she eventually started feeling sleepy due to the medicinal effects of the potion.
She covered herself clumsily and took a pillow in her arms while laying down to sleep.
...
The next morning, when Stefan was still in a daze, Heli reminded him of his appointment with Ethan and William, which he missed yesterday due to the side missions.
Stefan forgot to react in a daze. After coming to his senses, he reacted, ''OH NO!, they must have waited for me the whole afternoon, and yet I did not show up.''
''It's over!! They are my only friends in this new world, and I am going to lose them too!'', Stefan exclaimed in frustration.
He got out of the bed and went towards the bathroom. After ten minutes, he freshened up and made his way towards the kitchen.
Stefan decided to make some simple dishes, that will be paired with a glass of warm milk. He woke Li up, and asked if he wanted to go out with him for some time,
''Yes! Yes!'', Li nodded his head, like a chicken pecking at rice and after having his breakfast quickly, dashed towards his room to get ready.
Both Stefan and Li were ready in twenty minutes. And, coincidently, both of them forgot that there was still a patient in the room.
Before, they came out, Stefan took out the herb that he got yesterday, to try his luck in the market. If he could sell it, he might earn something today.
....
Inside the inn..
Ethan was wondering if Liam still remembered about their appointment or forgot it.
'When will Liam come? Maybe he knows something about that box called refrigratr? I don't know why, but I feel a sense of familiarity from him', William was thinking all this inwardly, but his expression on the outside did not change at all.
Just as both of them were lost in thoughts, they saw a man running from outside, and whispering something to a group of people. After that, the group of people ran outside the inn, together with the man.
William and Ethan glanced at each other after and then dashed out of the inn together. They instinctively felt that something was wrong with the group of people.
''I told you that I got this herb by a coincidence. Please give Li back to me. He is just a little child'', Stefan begged the person in front of him to return Li to him.
....
About fifteen minutes ago, he reached the town and decided to first try selling this herb.
After asking around where the most famous medicine hall is, he arrived there in five minutes. Just as he showed the herb to the reception boy, these people surrounded him and held Li captive.
Since twenty minutes, they are asking him two questions repeatedly,' How did you get this herb?' and 'Where did you get it?'
But he didn't know why these people were asking him the same question, and just what the hell is this herb used for!!
