Chapter 14

"I'm ready," says Ludger

Lex looks at him and comments "You look quite neat in that brown leather armour, like a traditional hunter"

"Thanks, So now we need to get supplies "

"By supplies, you mean dried food?"

"Yes, and something to preserve your equipment as its some kind of metal"

"Don't worry, it'll be fine. Do you remember my talent?"

"That red thing where you put rings?"

"It's called portal and is connected to the subspace where you can throw things and they will not spoil"

"Sounds very convenient … why you don't try to put that metal lump-shaped sword into it?"

"It's called Dragon Slayer for short DS, simply because it's fucking cool to wear it at the back, you won't understand"

Ludger looks at him like a weirdo "Fine, back to the subject of supplies"

"We could buy food from that barman"

"you can dream that Mark would sell fresh food to us as it comes with bowls. With our budget of 4 silver coins, we can only get some bread from Darryl and dried meat, don't forget that we need water too"

"Preparing for a journey is a pain in the ass"

"No shit Sherlock"

Lex gets surprised 'That guy must have influenced all of his lineage'

"Do you know what you just said?"

"My father liked to say it when someone said something obvious"

"I propose to you that we could try to increase our budget by taking 'Reward' from calming the livestock from the village chief"

"No! Lex, I'm against that idea, how we can't exert money from village folk after they experienced disaster"

"Well I'll not exert cash, only ask if we could get some sum of money from calming animals"

"Forget about it" Ludger proudly stands his ground

"ehh do you think that Mark would sell two mugs? and some villager's buckets?"

"surely Yes"

"I plan to fill buckets with water and put them in the inventory, and we'll drink from mugs sounds good to you?"

"It's good enough" "So let's go to the barman"

In the tavern

"Hi Mark can we buy two mugs?"

"Welcome Ludger I'll sell them to you for 1 silver coin"

"Isn't it too much? Can't, you lower the price?"

"Times are hard for anyone, no chance"

"ehh do you have dried meat?"

"yes, one stripe for 40 copper"

"give me that mugs and tree stripes "

"That would be 2 silver coins"

Ludger pays afterwards Lex opens inventory

"Give it to me"

Ludger gives dried meat and cups to Lex and he puts them in the inventory

Barman Mark becomes shocked as Lex summons a portal

"What is this thing? Magic?" Other bored customers look at the action "It's my talent"

'I shouldn't show off my tricks, but on the other hand, I'm not some sneaky bitch that hides its power,

what is even the point of being powerful if you don't throw your weight around?

I can comprehend why Ainz did it. I would do the same if I was thrown into an unknown place, in contrast to him I'm familiar with this World'

"Let's go for the bread, then water"

When two men go across the village few lazy teens stalk them, as in the village is little to no entertainment.

Then our duo comes to a local bakery man in his 40s who puts out fresh bread from the baker's oven

The smell of fresh baking hits their nostrils, middle-aged man unquestionably knows his craft

"Hi Derryl "

"Hey there Ludger, what brought you there?"

"We need some bread for our journey"

"No problem guys, as you can see I baked this beauties moment ago, for how long do you plan to leave?"

"I don't know maybe forever" At the moment of saying these words from the outside of the building one can hear the voice of some teen "What!?"

"What was that," says Lex

"you probably misheard it as the sound of cracking wood under the oven" replied Derryl

"you are right " 'Earlier I sensed some kids it's for sure them' Lex continues "We don't have much time how many breads can you sell us for 1 silver coin?"

"Four but for your journey, I'll add two for free" 'Derryl definitely have a big heart. In times when many starve, for sure he gives loaves of bread to people in need'

'After a year I and Ludger for sure will come back to help these poor people to defend them from theocracy even if Nazarick will become aware of my existence, hopefully, I'll become stronger. For now, even random pleiade can trash me'

"Thank you Derryl it'll help us" says Ludger

"No problem, I wish you peaceful travel"

like before Ludger pays and Lex puts six fresh loaves of bread into inventory

Afterwards, they go out of the bakery Lex looks around and sees a few teenagers sneaking near the bakery and bushes. He ignores them

"So from where we would get buckets?" asks Ludger

'hmm buckets and water …' "Let's go to Enmont household" one teen after hearing Emmont started to shake in the bush

"All right"

Lex goes after Ludger as he shows a way to the Emmont household, teens are still stalking them

When Ludger starts to open the doors and speaks "Is there anyone" one of the teens comes out of hiding and runs to Lex "Hi! I'm Sara! Can you marry me? and take me out of this boring place!"

"Oh Sara that girl who bears the same name as my wife"

"eeeeeeee….." Lexes mind has been put in the starting spaceship and is escaping this world "Wait... what?"

Sara: "I lived for 16 winters!. I love you! Please marry me!" the more Lex hears the bravado of the young girl the more speed ship gets

Sara is a young girl with a cute face short black hair and a well-developed body

"Hey what are you doing before my house?" comes Enri Emmont

"Don't stop me Enri it's my chance to get from this boring awful place" Says Sara

"Wait wait wait what the fuck is going on" Lex's brain can't comprehend the current situation

"Hi, mister Ludger and sir?" From Emmont's house then comes Nemu

"Lex Diethard" Lex says confused, his brain can't process that girl proposed to him even weirder is that she did it first

"Oh, so you are Lex. Please mister Lex take me from there, I'll sell my body..." then she looks at Lexes face and blushes ".. and soul to get out"

Now the situation is a complete mess

Ludger speaks "First let's take care of water, Enri do you have some buckets?"

Enri says "Yes we have five of them" As expected from bucket lady

"Nice how many you could sell for 1 Silver?"

"one medium or two small"

"We'll take one medium"

"Okey" Enri goes to her house for an item after she comes back Lex says

"All right you two go to fill a bucket and come back "

'Yes' says Ludger and tries to take Bucked from Enri's hands instinctively her grip gets harder

"Enri let me take it"

"oh yes" her iron grip finally softens probably for the first time in her life she doesn't have to fill the bucket with water. As they go to the well she enjoys the moment of rest

"So you ... Sara do you really love me?" she looks into his blue eyes embarrassed "I don't know" then blushes
