Transmigrated With A Thrifty System 77 - What makes you think I'd listen to kids?
Mr. Dorian, the mayor of Collow, stepped into the tavern with an air of importance, his hair perfectly combed and his button-down long-sleeved shirt pressed to perfection with his collar upturned. As he entered the tavern, the noise level in the room immediately quieted, and all eyes turned to him.Aiden, Risa, and Gregg exchanged glances, unsure of why the mayor would be visiting a run-down tavern like this."Good evening, everyone," Mr. Dorian said, his voice booming over the chatter of the patrons. "I hope I am not interrupting anything important."'Even if you are interrupting, would anyone speak on it?' Aiden thought with a roll of his eyes.Aiden couldn't help but feel suspicious of the mayor's sudden appearance. He had heard rumors of Mr. Dorian's corruption and the way he ran the town with an iron fist, but he had never had any concrete proof of it. He nudged Risa and Gregg, motioning for them to follow him to the back of the tavern.They found a quiet corner and sat down, Aid
Transmigrated With A Thrifty System 78 - What do you mean, find a job?
The mayor leaned forward, his expression turning sour. "And what makes you think I'll listen to you? You're just a bunch of kids," he sneered."Kids?" Gregg snarled under his breath, his eyes narrowed. He had wanted to utilize his ability to give a good beating to the mayor if given the chance but was stopped by Aiden's hand holding him back.The mayor seemed to have noticed the dilemma Gregg was in and was more than ready to follow through with stirring him further."Do you have a problem with what I said, kid?!" He questioned with emphasis on the latter part.Cross-popping veins made their way to Gregg's forehead as he glared but refrained from pressing further. Taking turns in breathing in and out.Risa also took a deep breath, trying to keep her anger in check. "We have a responsibility to protect the balance of this realm," she said. Aiden facepalmed at her words, although it did sound right at least to him, but he couldn't recall the last time he had referred to his world as a
Transmigrated With A Thrifty System 79 - What are you doing in my room?
"It's... It's..." Aiden couldn't believe that he was left in a stuttering mess, he tried to pretend that he had seen nothing, but when Risa got to her feet, he could already tell what she planned on doing.Risa looked at Aiden, trying to figure out what was going on, but he didn't answer her. She walked over to the door and pushed him aside. Aiden looked back at Gregg and shrugged before pulling up his phone to his face as he continued with his video game.Her green eyes glowed for a while as she walked to the door of their room and reached for the doorknob. She feels a bit nervous as she wonders who could be on the other side. But at that crucial moment, she felt a shock wave that felt familiar.'Why does it feel like I know who's on the other side?' She wondered, looking over to a nervous Aiden which only seemed to heighten her curiosity.Slowly, she turned the knob, as quickly as her eyes had glowed, it deactivated in a flash as she pushed the door open, revealing Zin. The business
Transmigrated With A Thrifty System 80 - Don't do it!!!
Risa, wait up," Aiden said, catching up to her. "Are you okay?""I'm fine," Risa said, avoiding his gaze.Aiden reached out to touch her arm, but she pulled away. "You don't look fine. What's wrong?"'You wouldn't understand how I feel. I can't force my opinions on you, Aiden." Risa had wanted to say, but her eyes lowered in despair and her lips trembled and closed shut momentarily."I'm… I'm f…fine." She stuttered.As Aiden stared at Risa, he could see the emotions swirling in her eyes. She was clearly not okay, and he couldn't let her brush off her feelings so easily."No, you're not fine," Aiden said firmly, stepping closer to her. Aiden stepped closer, his eyes fixed on her face. "Risa, I know something's bothering you. Please tell me what it is."'I cannot, not until I know where I stand.' Risa protested in her thoughts and shook her head, taking a step back and avoiding close contact with Aiden. 'Just stay away, it's better for you.'"Please go back to the dining hall." Risa tr
Transmigrated With A Thrifty System 81 - I love you, I always have
Aiden screamed her name as he ran to the edge of the bridge, watching in disbelief as she disappeared beneath the surface. He knew that he had to act fast if he was going to save her.Without hesitation, Aiden dove into the water, swimming as fast as he could toward where he had last seen Risa. The water was cold and dark, and he couldn't see anything. But he kept swimming, driven by his love for Risa.Finally, he felt something brush against his hand, and he grabbed hold of it. He pulled with all his strength, and after what felt like an eternity, he emerged from the water, holding Risa's unconscious body in his arms.Aiden pulled Risa to the shore, where he performed CPR on her until she finally started breathing again. He held her tightly, his heart full of relief and gratitude that she was still alive."Aiden," she whispered, her voice weak. "I'm sorry.""Shh, don't talk," Aiden said, his voice thick with emotion. "I've got you now."Risa turned toward his arm, burying her face in
Transmigrated With A Thrifty System 82 - Where do you think you're going?
But before she could finish her sentence, there was a sudden splash in the water. Aiden turned around, his heart racing, only to see Myrtle holding a rock and throwing it over her head, and catching it once more. "I apologize for startling you, Aiden and Risa," Myrtle said, a hint of amusement in her voice as she threw the skipping stone. "But I need to remind you of your mission."Aiden, Gregg, and Risa had come to the city of Feystone to speak with the mayor and try to convince him to halt the deforestation project that was destroying the forest and the cause of the deteriorating weather condition. It had been a difficult journey, and they had encountered many obstacles along the way, but they had never given up hope."We haven't forgotten," Aiden said, turning back to Myrtle. "We'll do whatever it takes to stop the destruction of the forest."Myrtle nodded, her eyes gleaming with approval. "I know you will," she said. "But you must be careful. There are forces at work that are tryi
Transmigrated With A Thrifty System 83 - Aren't you young to have access to this?
Aiden quickly assessed the situation. They were outnumbered and outgunned, with no chance of winning a physical fight. He knew they had to use their abilities to get out of this mess.Gregg took hold of Zin's hand, pulling her to his side protectively as Aiden stepped forward."We were just passing by," Aiden said smoothly, trying to keep his voice steady. "No need for any trouble."But the men didn't budge, their eyes glinting dangerously in the dimly lit alley."We don't believe you," the first man said, cracking his knuckles menacingly. "Why were you following us?"Aiden was about to answer when Risa stepped forward, a sly grin on her face."It isn't wrong to pass by here," she tried to throw them off their trail, "or is there something we're missing here? Could you point us in the right direction?"The men looked at one another, nearly assuming Risa for someone who has a few screws loose. One of them spoke again; his tone more relaxed now that they seemed less threatened."Well...
Transmigrated With A Thrifty System 84 - How about a quick one?
[Slight R-18]Risa furrowed her brows momentarily before responding coolly. "Not exactly miss, my name is Rumi Kiyama and this is my husband Sai Kiyama and we're here regarding business matters pertaining to Mr. John Smithson." Aiden stiffened when he heard the name and status of the relationship she had forged just recently. What does that matter anyways? They had lived almost like a married couple without even realizing it. The thought of one day finalizing her possible wish was a moment he was sure to keep in mind.After confirming the identity of the person they sought, the receptionist typed quickly on her keypad again, accessing files stored deep within her system. Finally satisfied, the receptionist raised her head, and her expression immediately changed, becoming friendlier and more welcoming. "Ah, of course! Mr. Smithson's guests, yes?" she confirmed before reaching for a phone on her desk. "Let me call up to the fiftieth floor and let them know you're here."Risa and Aiden

Raymond didn't miss the nervous look in Aiden's eyes, and he gestured to the waitress, indicating for two more coffees. "Don't look so worried, Aiden," he began, leaning back in his chair. "I'm not here to stir up trouble, quite the opposite, in fact."Aiden gave a small laugh, rubbing the back of his neck. "You have a knack for popping up unexpectedly, Raymond," he said, meeting the older man's gaze. Raymond chuckled, a sound that reminded Aiden of crunching autumn leaves. "Guilty as charged," he admitted. "But it's the only way to catch you off guard, isn't it?"The two men shared a smile, the ice of formality finally beginning to thaw. When their coffees arrived, Aiden took a moment to appreciate the smell, the warmth of the cup soothing his nerves.Raymond's knowing smile widened as he caught sight of the green card. "I see you've been putting that to good use," he said, pouring a cup of coffee for Aiden. "Now tell me, how have you been?"Aiden hesitated for a moment, not sure wh

A week had passed since that day, the culmination of which was their big day, the day of their wedding. It was a day that echoed the magnificence of their love for one another. The wedding venue was the most eccentric hall in all of Collow. It was an architectural marvel, a symphony of nature and architecture that combined grandeur and simplicity in a harmonious blend. Tall, impressive stone columns held up the lofty, wooden ceiling, creating an ambiance of grandeur.

151 - Right now, I need you
The news of their forthcoming child was still fresh in their minds as they sat down to discuss their imminent wedding. The room was filled with a sense of exhilaration, excitement, and anticipation. The huge dining table was strewn with various wedding catalogs, color palettes, floral arrangements, and tentative guest lists. Risa, brimming with an ethereal glow from her pregnancy, was a picture of excited expectancy. Her green eyes sparkled with a mix of joy and anxiety, her fingers fluttering across the catalog pages as she attempted to decide on the most fitting color code for their nuptials."Aiden, what do you think of this one?" She pointed towards a palette that was an array of earthy colors, inspired by nature.Aiden leaned over to see what she was indicating, his gaze falling on the hues of deep forest green, soft brown, and a touch of gold. He studied it for a moment, his blue eyes reflecting the colors she chose."It's perfect, Risa. It truly reflects who we are, connected
150 - A perfect fit
[R-18]'When am I never ready?' Gregg replied in his thoughts, but instead of going along that line of thought, he gave her a tender smile as he brushed her hair away from her face and planted soft kisses on her cheeks and along her jawline."You're my dream girl." He whispered softly into her sensitive ears.Zin's breath caught in her throat as she looked at Gregg with a surprised smile. He had said that to her countless times before in different ways and situations, but it felt different coming from him now. He wasn't saying it because it was something he wanted her to do. It was simply how he saw her.With an easy grace, Zin disrobed, letting her clothes fall to the floor until she was wearing nothing but a sheer white slip of lingerie that accentuated her curves and accentuated her light pink nipples that were already hardening beneath the thin fabric. "Must have been the flour and grease on them," Zin teased with a playful smirk, stripping off the remaining clothing as quickly a
149 - You're both going to be parents soon?!
"Is everything alright, Risa?" she asked, her tone hinting at her worry. "You've never declined wine before. Is there a reason you're saying no tonight?"Risa glanced at Aiden, an unspoken question flickering in her gaze. Aiden gave her a reassuring smile, a silent signal for her to share their secret. "I'm not feeling unwell or anything," Risa began, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's just that...I... we... are expecting."The room fell silent, as if the words had sucked the air right out of it. Zin blinked, looking between Risa and Aiden, trying to comprehend the gravity of the news. Meanwhile, Gregg stared at Aiden, his eyes wide with shock."Expecting?" Zin repeated, her mind racing to decode Risa's words. But then it clicked, and she let out a startled gasp. "You mean...you're pregnant?"Risa nodded, a shy smile playing on her lips. "Three weeks along."Aiden reached for Risa's hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. He looked at her with such warmth, his eyes sparkling with
148 - You've never declined wine before, why now?
The shadows began to stretch across the rooms of the quaint duplex that Zin and Gregg called home as the golden tendrils of the afternoon sun began to retreat for the day. In the heart of their dwelling, Zin's culinary skills were on full display in their small but well-equipped kitchen. The tantalizing aroma of a home-cooked meal filled the air, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. In contrast, Gregg's domain was the dining area, where he was meticulously attending to every detail. He nervously adjusted the tablecloth, smoothed out non-existent creases, and repositioned the silverware for what felt like the hundredth time."Gregg," Zin's voice carried from the kitchen, filled with a lighthearted teasing note, "You're going to wear holes into the tablecloth if you continue fussing over it like that."A sheepish grin spread across Gregg's face at Zin's playful comment. "I just want to ensure everything is perfect, Zin," he replied, his voice shaky. "Aiden's accustomed to high-end,
147 - You got yourself a deal
A smile, brimming with mischief, gradually began to play across the features of Aiden. The playful glint in his eyes danced as he declared in a voice imbued with teasing suspense, "I'm not going to share that with you." Without any further ado, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a small box with intricate detailing, and handed it over to Gregg, who was visibly caught in the throes of anticipation.Gregg accepted the box with a sense of curiosity bordering on fascination. He gingerly opened the lid, and his pupils dilated in astonishment as they beheld the singular object nestled within the folds of velvet that lined the box. Inside lay a shimmering golden card that reflected the soft ambient light in a playful dance of colors, emphasizing the meticulous engraving of a stylized dragon that marked its surface. The card was encased in a pristine white border, upon which bold, black words stood out in striking contrast: 'What you seek is within.'Aiden, struggling to contain his amus
