Chances to Another Life 67. My Last Mission Was Done!
My tongue was dry to answer Cedric's question, let alone to inform him that his presence had been eagerly awaited by the king. For a few moments, none of the four of us responded. I had never fought alongside Cedric, and I was grateful for it. Otherwise, I wouldn't stand a chance, as he turned out to be extremely brutal and fierce. Yet here he stood before us, hands covered in fresh, dripping blood."How dare you come here, so close to the foot of the hill where rebels roam, and this forest is frequented by enemies. Are you tired of living?" Cedric asked again. He looked so intimidating that I feared I might tremble.If that happened, where would I put my face? In truth, I pitied myself for being unable to retort, especially given the fact that Cedric was younger than me!"Cedric, we were instructed by the king to find you," Sean answered. From the corner of my eye, I saw the young man, not much different from me, standing stiffly.Cedric then put his hands on his hips, and only then
Chances to Another Life 68. Exchange My Only Valuables
"I can appreciate this for 300 gold coins," a young man dressed elegantly said to me, his blond hair neatly combed back, and his blue eyes gleaming as he looked at the fire dragon scale I showed him.I hesitated for a moment because I didn't know the market price for a dragon scale. The amount he offered was indeed a lot, enough to sustain me for the next 50 years in luxury."I must remind you, this is real. I found it while trying to tame my pegasus," I said, nodding towards Peace, who was tethered in the palace courtyard.The young man looked at me keenly. "Yes, I know. I collect rare and antique items, and that's the market value for a fire dragon scale. If you want a higher offer, bring a water dragon scale next time. Its price can skyrocket because they're rarely found," he explained.I reconsidered the negotiation of this sale; I didn't want to lose out because this was the only valuable item I had. I decided to sell it because soon I would be leaving this world, and I didn't kn
Chances to Another Life 69. Come To Say Goodbye
I have been on guard all night in a room that directly overlooks the ballroom, where the wedding is taking place. All the invited guests have arrived and have been thoroughly checked by the royal officials. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers have been stationed around the palace to ensure that the event runs smoothly without any hindrance.I long to see Adellia in the wedding gown that Queen Azura had prepared well in advance. I hope the makeup artist can hide Adellia's puffy eyes from crying almost all night.In the room where I am stationed, there are five soldiers on duty with me, and fortunately, there have been no problems so far. I heard there was a fight behind the palace between an officer and a rebel, but it was successfully contained before the wedding began.Then, the trumpet sounded three times, and when the ballroom door opened, Cedric appeared in his military uniform, displaying his prestigious pins and medals. He smiled brightly, clearly happy, with Sean by his side as h
Chances to Another Life 70. This Is Me Now
"Your first mission is complete. How do you feel? Do you feel more human now?"The voice echoed and sounded distant to me, but I couldn't see anything or anyone speaking."You finished it quite quickly. Well, I intentionally chose a conflict that wasn't too heavy. Now, you'll journey to the second world. Congratulations, Joe!" The voice exclaimed, accompanied by applause around me."Solace?" Surprisingly, my voice sounded hoarse and squeaky, as if something was hindering me from speaking freely. Yet, I still felt floating in this darkness."I can't show my face, Joe. I've just returned from a treatment after visiting someone in a very polluted and grimy place," he explained.I couldn't feel my hands or any other body parts, but I wasn't panicked. "Is it another failed person?" I asked."Exactly, he's very miserable and has experienced a lot of trauma. But, as a good being, I gave him a chance just like I gave you!" Solace exclaimed joyfully, and I could imagine his old face beaming."
Chances to Another Life 71. I'm Being A Courier
Apparently, the stern woman from earlier was named Mrs. Smith, the owner of the largest grocery store at the intersection. Everything was there, from food to household items, gardening tools, and even swords and bows! I couldn't understand if she actually sold them or if they were just for display.On the other shelves, I saw rows of bottles containing medicines similar to potions in Swinggelir. Without warning, I already missed my military profession in that world!Now I'm carrying fertilizers to the cart pulled by a tall black stallion. I don't understand why Solace chose this world and this profession for me! I've already had a tough life, and now he's giving me another tough life!"Hurry up, don't be slow. Time is money!" Mrs. Smith exclaimed, fanning herself with a paper fan.I lifted the last sack and it was done. Actually, this was much easier compared to hunting, but if I could choose, I'd rather keep hunting because it's much more enjoyable and I wouldn't be yelled at and sta
Chances to Another Life 72. The People and The Market
72Due to Mrs. Smith's tyrannical nature, my increasingly rumbling stomach was becoming unbearable. Eventually, I bought a loaf of bread to eat at her grocery store. Fortunately for her, I didn't even willingly trade the bronze coin, which turned out to be only enough to buy a slice of bread and a strawberry-flavored candy.Of course, that wasn't enough to satisfy my hunger. I considered exchanging the gold coin, but I had to wait for the right time so Mrs. Smith wouldn't find out. I also had to quickly pay off my debts to free myself from her clutches."Hey, deliver this to Mr. Gunter's stall!" I had only sat down for a moment when Mrs. Smith yelled, placing a bag of groceries that I had to deliver.It only contained raw food ingredients like vegetables, which were very appetizing in my hungry state. However, I quickly hurried to deliver them, not because I obeyed Mrs. Smith's command, but so I wouldn't have to stay in her store for too long.I returned to the streets, this time with
Chances to Another Life 73. I'm Planning To Become A Teacher
After the fuss was over, people went back to their usual activities. No one cared, nor did anyone want to defend a little girl being made fun of by a grown man. Just thinking about it makes me angry. However, the most important thing now was Celine who was sitting beside me with her head down. We were now sitting on the side of the road. She hadn't said anything since earlier and was noticeably avoiding me. I'm not good with children, in fact, I don't think I've ever been interested in or cared about children in my entire life. I took a deep breath and reached into my pants pocket. "This is for you, they say sweets can improve your mood," I said as I handed her a strawberry-flavored candy I had bought earlier. Celine lifted her face slowly, her neck-length black hair covering the front part of her face that was still bruised. She looked at me several times as if to confirm that I was really talking to her. "Here, eat it. I already ate earlier," I said reassuringly. Finally, the th
Chances to Another Life 74. So, My Actual Mission is...
As expected, I was only able to finish taking care of the horses when the day turned into night. Even then, it seemed like Mrs. Smith had deliberately added to my work, because some of the men had asked me to bathe the horses in the river. Seriously! I then stretched my aching body, even being chased by the enemy at Swinggelir never felt this tired. My clothes were almost completely wet because bathing ten horses was a very bad idea. Fortunately, the river was clear and surrounded by beautiful gardens and fields, which eased my irritation a little. "Come on in, Big Boy!" I said as I opened the door to the last stable. I ruffled my feathers at the sight of the shiny, clean animals, I had cleaned the stalls even with a bit of vomiting, and fed them too. My work for the day was done! The horses whinnied and whinnied as if sad when I left the stable. I had a hunch that since I had managed to tame the Pegasus in the previous world, which was a supernatural animal, I would get a taste s
