77. Public Transportation Services "Wizard Express"

Almost one month after the big event and the Senshi were forced to live in this world, because they realized that these potions were very important for them to be able to survive in this world, many of them were flocking to buy supplies of potions.

So many Senshi who want to buy potions, making the potion makers overwhelmed to fulfill orders from the sellers of potions. Understandably, only a few NPCs know the recipe for making potions.

In the kingdom of Mataram there are only 6 factories that can produce potions, and all of these factories are outside the capital region. With the destruction of 4 potions factories due to the Goblin attack, now only 2 factories remain and making these potions become very rare.

Shiro left the Jarwo store and planned to take back his payment the next day. He walked down the highway very listlessly. Sunlight seemed to prick his skin. He felt very tired. The look in his eyes seemed to wilt. But the results of his hard work for 1 month have been seen very clear. In addition to his level that had risen rapidly, Shiro currently had 33,436 Gold, 4 Silver and 7 Bronze remaining cash. The amount does not include the proceeds from the sale of the items and the purchase of his new sword.

Shiro used most of his money to make Rajul Mustanie, raise the level of his skills, buy potions and essential crystal stones from members of the SweetSugar alliance. Even though he currently doesn't have any potions available, in his storage room, there are more than one million essential crystal stones ready to be used to make Rajul Mustanie which can be used as a farming bot. So that in the upcoming hunt, it would be easier for Shiro to raise his level and collect more money.

Shiro plans to find an inn to rest. But even though he had seen several inns along the road that he passed, the atmosphere around the place sounded very crowded, making him reluctant to rest at the inns.

"Damn it, where is this anyway?" Shiro did not know how far he had walked. He did not recognize the area around him and did not know where to go. Until finally he saw a Wizard sitting behind a desk.

"Public transportation services?" said Shiro softly, reading the writing on the table.

He then walked over to the Wizard and said, "Hey... Do you know a cheap but not noisy inn?"

"Oh, salam! If you are looking for cheap lodging, then the Sumber district is the place you are looking for. Do you want to go there? With only 5 Gold, I can take you to the Sumber district."

"Eh... I get it now. You are using Gate skill to open a transportation business. You are a smart person. Eh, a smart wizard? Whatever."

"Heh he... We have to be smart to take advantage of opportunities, my friend. So what? You wanna go there?"

"All right. Take me to the Sumber district."

"Okay..." said the Wizard enthusiastically.

The Wizard opens the dimensional portal and then invites Shiro to enter the portal. Shiro walked into the portal, followed by the Wizard who walked behind him. Shortly after the two of them entered the portal, the portal disappeared.

Somewhere in the Sumber district, where a lot of lodging lined the roadside. On the edge of the road in front of one of the inns, Shiro and the Wizard walked out of the portal.

"Here it is... the Sumber District which is full of cheap lodging."

"Wow! Your job is really helpful." Shiro said, chuckling and then giving the Wizard 5 Gold coins as payment for taking him to the Sumber district.

"There are many types of work that can be done with magic, man." said the Wizard, accepting the payment. "See you later and enjoy your day." he added, walking into the portal.

"Okay. Good luck with your business!" said Shiro, chuckling at the man's unique idea. "Humans are indeed smart." said Shiro keep chuckling.

"Sir... Please buy our fruit." exclaimed a little girl who was across the street.

Seen 2 little girls around 5-8 years old were offering fruit to Shiro. Feeling sorry for them, Shiro approached them slowly.

"Do you want to buy, sir?" greet the younger sister.

"Hmm... How much are these oranges?" said Shiro, slightly widening a smile.

"5 Bronze, sir. It's still fresh because we just picked them from the garden." answered the older sister.

"All right. I'll buy them all." said Shiro proudly, staring at the oranges neatly arranged on the table.

The children looked very surprised because Shiro said that he wants to buy all the oranges.

"A-Are you serious, sir??" asked the younger sister, in a tone that sounded very cute.

"Of course. How much is all?" said Shiro, widening a smile.

"100 gold!" answered the children with happy faces.

"Heh?! How expensive! These Oranges are no more than 5 kg." said Shiro, surprised.

"Not only this, sir, but that too!" cried the older sister, pointing to the 3 carts beside them.

The younger sister hurriedly opened the sheet of cloth covering the carts and smiled at Shiro.

"Eh...?? R-Right. That's right. You can't miss this golden opportunity." Feeling cheated, Shiro could only smile with a silly look on his face. He sighed and then said, "Smart kids."

After putting all the oranges in the storage room, Shiro asked the children, "Where are your parents? Why are you selling on the roadside by yourself?"

The two children who seemed very happy to count money from their sales suddenly looked sad.

The older sister who saw her younger sister shed tears, tried to answer Shiro's question with a smile. "Heaven... They are in heaven, sir. One day we will also go there to meet them."

Hearing the answer from the little girl, Shiro was only pensive.

The two children were refugees who had lived in the village of Ngrau in the northern part of the Mataram kingdom. Both of their parents had died when monsters invaded their village 3 weeks ago. Currently they live in an orphanage and help sell fruit, crops from plantations in the orphanage.

Shiro patted the little sister's head and said, "Stop crying. Didn't I buy all your oranges."

The little girl wiped her tears and said, "T-Thank you."

Shiro smiled faintly and then said, "If i running out of supply, I'll come back here to buy your oranges." Shiro began to walk away from them while saying, "Take care of yourself, sweet angels."

The two children lowered their bodies slightly, expressed their gratitude to Shiro.
