Chapter 12 PRESENT

"STOP!"

Sarah interrupted Peter as he babbled. "You just wanted exchange that charm to clear all your tab and to buy yet again. Why do you have to include all the history? Why don't you include when and how you were born!?" While massaging her head with her little hands.

"C'mon, I was almost in the good part! Ahem! Anyway this charm is really worth the money, it has 3 chances to cast level 2 fireballs! LEVEL 2." He was proud of his level 2 fireball not noticing Sarah's contenpt.

"I mean my brother is really coming, not just him but also his family." Paul also added "As well as his boss!"

"YOU REALLY HAVE A BROTHER!?" both Sarah as well as Luis who came in the back door was surprised with the revelation.

"Of course I have! Except with the word lost everything I said was true." Paul protested.

"Okay, this charm can clear your tab so what are the other things you want to buy" Luis received the charm and handed it to Sarah for her to place it inside.

"Well I already bought the meat and other ingredients. I will let my daughter cook but she needs some seasonings. Here is the list, oh I also want a some beer, 5 cases, a box of ice cream the 4 in 1, 2 packs of Max* and Fruit* each, well anyway it's all in the list. It's should be enough right?"

Luis calculated mentally if the charm is really worth all these. "Well the charm should be worth 12 gold coins, with your tab plus today you only have 3 gold coins in your balance. Here." As he handed 3 gold coins to Paul he then placed the list aside and returned to clean up the dishes.

"Thanks! My daughter will drop by tomorrow since my guests should arrive at around early morning the next day." Paul was preparing to leave after his task was over with free meal.

"Yeah." Luis waved his hand as he continued his chores.

…

"Hmm, some of things he needs are not in the shop huh?" Sarah looked through the list Paul has given earlier.

"Yeah, I'm going back and buy them." He responded while fumbling on his phone.

"Their would be a lot of stuff that you need to carry huh?"

"There is a shopping cart so it's fine."

"I-I see." With a downcast voice Sarah was preparing to leave to her room.

"But I really need some help pulling all those stuff to my car, Haixt. Who should I asked to help me?" He then pretended to think seriously while secretly looking at her.

"Me! Me! I can help you!" Sarah pulled and pushed Luis' collar as she begged (threatened) him.

"Sthoop! You can just say it earlier if you want to go! Also you were reading the list upside-down."

"Ahhh"
