Bab 32: Additional Mission & Rewards
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.

Please choose any one of the rewards.
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.
