v1c7 The Bracelet with a History

 

I proceeded with my plan of buying the things I wanted for myself using the money I had gotten from the sale. As I was looking around at the stores nearby, I was called over by a fruit store shopkeeper.

“How about it, these are really tasty.”

An a.s.sortment of fruits I had never seen before was arranged neatly.
I was recommended some poisonous looking fruits that were so colorful that I wondered if it was even safe to eat. Losing to my curiosity, I made the purchase.

“I’ll have one then.” -Ruri

“Here, have a ton of it!”

The old man from the shop started filling up a bag with fruits. I quickly interjected.

“Ah! Nuuu. Just one would be enough. I still have other places to go…” -Ruri

I was going to buy other things after this. I wasn’t sure if the money I had on me was enough to cover the expenses, so I was trying to spend frugally.

However, the old man gave a bright smile and pa.s.sed me the bag of fruit.

“It’s on the house! A present from this old man.”

“Oh, I couldn’t… ” -Ruri

“It’s fine, it’s fine. In exchange, could you show up this in town again?
Of course, It’d be even happier if you would come visit my store too.”

Chelsea told me to accept it after seeing my puzzled face. I did just that while giving my thanks with a smile.

“I’ll gladly accept this then. Thank you very much.” -Ruri

“Come again.”

After parting with the energetic old man, I continued walking around with Chelsea. As I was poking my head here and there because of just how interesting things were, Chelsea told me to behave and not act like a child. But every time I looked into a store, I receive cheers and was welcomed into the store with open arms.

In the end, I received many things from the people there without paying a single cent.

“Is this because I have fairies on me?” -Ruri

“The land that fairies touch produces better crops and face no major natural disaster. If you visit the town, the fairies would come together, and the land will prosper.
It’s a small price to pay if that would make you come again.” -Chelsea

“I see…” -Ruri

So the fairies in this world were treated like the things we called deities in my world.
But because you could actually see the fairy and feel the magic from them, they were treated with fear and respect.

I started to understand the existence called fairy in this world
And the danger I might face by being friendly to them.

(I just hope I won’t get mixed up into trouble.)

With that thought behind, I continued with the long-awaited shopping.

Firstly, new clothing!

As expected, the fas.h.i.+on sense in this world differs to the one in my original world. It is rare for girls to wear pants in this world, and one-piece dress were the standards.

That said, pants is a must for my life in the forest. Mainly because it’s easier to move in it.
It’s not like they don’t sell those, but instead of buying ones that looked pretty, I was thinking that could just make one by myself. But I wasn’t good at sewing, and tailor made pants would cost too much. I gave up on that thought and got the ready made ones.

After finis.h.i.+ng up my shopping of shoes, clothing, seasoning and preserved food that would last for a while, I returned home by riding on the dragon transformed Chelsea.

The next day, I opened the portal to the dimensional s.p.a.ce the time fairy was. I was sure she’d be happy if I pa.s.s her these toys I’ve bought for her.
