149 Green Rabbi

He told Celine about the invitation from Key and Yevina and they decided to first meet up with them. They could delay the other stuff for now. He sent a short message to Key to inform them that they would come over to the cafe.

Key informed them that they were on the way as well.

Ivan and Celine went downstairs to the first floor and after searching for a bit found the Green Rabbit Cafe, which was a small cozy cafe at the sides. Unlike the other cafes, there weren't any seats outside. After entering, they easily spotted Yevina and Key who were seated at a table in a corner.

"Hey.", Yevina greeted them and then introduced herself to Celine, "I'm Yevina."

Celine greeted her back and indicated that she had already heard about her from Ivan.

After sitting down they ordered some tea and started to talk. Although it was mostly Yevina and Celine doing the talking, while Ivan and Key sat beside them and listened, only sometimes throwing in a sentence or two.

It was astonishing how easily these two women managed to get close to each other. While they started off with some common topics, they soon switched to more personal, such as how they met the men beside them, or what hobbies they had.

"Do you think it's weird that I don't have a problem with sharing Ivan with another woman, but I would strongly dislike it if he shared me with another man?", Celine asked when the topic changed to the party the other pair had visited.

Yevina didn't even have to think before answering, "I don't think so. I think that's the usual way, although I don't know why it is like this. In my opinion, everyone is free to be like they want, as long as they don't infringe on the taboos of others.

But I also think that one should try out new things. For example, how about you, Ivan, and another woman at the same time? Or you and another woman? What about those?"

Confronted by these questions, Celine didn't know how to answer. She hadn't thought about these before. To her, it had always been natural for her partner to be just one man, the man she was together with. Back then it had been Lucia's father and now it was Ivan.

"I don't know.", she honestly responded.

"Just think about it. For now, let's get going or the shop is going to close.", Yevina said, before getting up.

The others followed her out of the mall and towards a small alley, nearby. The alley was between two other stores next to the shopping mall and only had a door, with a simple sign, at the end of it. The sign read "Jacky's Shop", which told nothing about the kind of store it was.

When they got close to the door, Yevina pulled out a simple black card, with the same letters on it as the sign. She held the card in front of a nearly invisible reader beside the door and the door opened.

Entering the door gave Ivan a weird feeling. It felt like something had shifted, but he was unable to detect what. He looked at the others, but they didn't seem to have felt anything.

"That's surprising. I didn't think anyone would be able to feel it.", a soft voice said, following by a woman appearing before them. She was wearing a black uniform, which covered everything except her face. There even were gloves, that covered her hands and a cap, which covered her head.

Ivan looked into her purple eyes, which complimented her purple lips and asked, "What happened when we went through the door?" He asked while the other three looked confused at what she meant.

"This is a separate dimension, so you teleported", she explained. "For you to detect it, you must have quite some talent in spacial magic."

Now Ivan looked confused as well, "Spacial magic?"

He hadn't heard about it before. According to the information he had, it seemed to be impossible to affect space with magic, which made use of mana. It was different for Qi, which was able to influence it.

"It's not surprising, that you haven't heard about it. It's rare for anyone to have a talent in it.", the woman responded. "Anyway, I'm Jacky, the owner of this humble store.", the woman introduced herself to the group.

"Hello, I'm Yevina and Larissa recommended this store to us.", she then introduced the others. From the way to get access to having the store in a different dimension, she knew that the store was something special, or at least the owner was.

"Then come in everyone.", Jacky said while pointing at another door, leading out of the entrance hall, they had appeared in.

Behind this door, another hall came into view. It was as big as the shopping mall, they had just left, surprising the door.

"Wow.", Celine exclaimed. "Is all of this your store?", she then asked Jacky in astonishment.

"Yes.", the woman smiled proudly. "I have sections for just about everything and everything you want, you get here. And if you can't find it, you can order it." It seemed like she was really proud of this store.

On the first floor, there was a large reception area, which was manned by two women, wearing a similar uniform to Jacky's. But unlike her completely black one, theirs had purple stripes.

Besides them, there were some others, who were leading other groups or single people.

Jacky pointed at them and said, "These are my employees. Everyone is only allowed to move around if lead by one of them. They know where everything is and will do their utmost to help the customers. Well, although I say utmost there are limits to their help. Some depend on the rank of the customer, while other things are strictly off-limit."

She then gestured at Yevina, "The card Larissa gave you is only an invitation card. While it can allow you entry to the store, you have only access to a selected part of the store. And it will only work one time. If you want to come again, you would need to get a membership card."

Yevina nodded, "I know. Larissa told me that I should directly buy for at least one thousand gold coins, so I can get the membership card."

When she said the amount, Ivan gasped. One thousand gold was an astronomically amount of money for him. To have to spend so much just to get a membership was astonishing.

Jacky heard his gasp and smiled at him. "You think this is a lot?", she asked slyly.

He nodded in response.

"To others that may be. But here it is nothing. Most things here can't even be bought with gold. Only cheap things can, while other things have to be traded with crystallized energy. So the most common payment method is energy crystals, followed by demon cores.", she explained.

"For example this sword", she pointed at a dark green sword, an employee carried towards the checkout counter at the side, while being followed by a young man. "It is an S class sword with a level requirement of at least 1k.", pausing, she once again savored the astonishment of the group. "The price is around 2 EU, which would make about twenty billion gold if exchanged. That is if anyone would even exchange something containing EU for gold."

"EU?", Key asked. It seemed like this was something even he as the prince controlling the foundation hadn't come into contact with yet.

"Energy units. It is a way to measure the energy contained in a crystal.", understanding that they won't be able to understand how much it was exactly, she then continued to explain, "A normal 1 cubic centimeter crystal has around 1 EU in it." She then pulled one out and showed it to them.

Everyone except Celine looked at it curiously. They could feel the energy in it and had the feeling that if they wanted to, they would be able to extract it. Of course, they wouldn't do this since the crystal didn't belong to them, but it allowed them to get a feeling for the energy contained in it.

"This seems like a lot of energy. But I haven't seen them before, so where are they from?", Yevina asked.

"These crystals don't exist in our realm naturally. All of them have to be important from the higher realms.", Celine was the one explaining. "But it seems like this store doesn't just have customers from our realm.", she then commented.

"You have good eyes.", Jacky complimented her. "This store is accessible from a multitude of realms, including the one you are from. Of course, some of them are higher than others. That's one reason one can only walk around with an employee accompanying them. If not it could be dangerous."
