Chapter 29: Leisurely Morning
The next day, in the early morning.
William, as usual, got up on time, dressed in casual and light clothes. After confirming with Welf that no one was following, he left through the back door of the mansion and headed towards Gedo Street.
Normally, he would have enjoyed breakfast first, engaged in some light physical activities in the courtyard, learned some martial arts with Welf and others, and exercised his body.
However, since he had arranged to exercise with Nichole this morning, William didn't have breakfast at the mansion. Instead, he brought some ingredients from the kitchen to prepare a meal to share with his teammates.
It was quite interesting to think about. Initially, he hadn't planned to join the mercenary group. With the experience from his past life, he had planned to undertake some solo missions directly.
Unexpectedly, he ended up joining Nichole's adventure team directly.
This could be considered as the protagonist's team. Although Elena and Lumbro were not characters he remembered from his past life, Jason Harold was later the leader of the Golden Lion Knights of the Fis Kingdom, a person of high status and influence.
Walking on the streets of the just-awakening Canlight City, many vendors were already busy in their shops, preparing for the day's business.
The aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the air. A crowd had already gathered at the door of a small shop, eating a simple breakfast priced at two copper coins. Although it only consisted of a few pieces of black bread and vegetable soup, it was enough to fill their stomachs and provide energy for the day's toil.
William had also eaten breakfast at these small shops in his past life. Although the taste was not great, it was cheap. If it weren't for the fact that characters would continuously lose health due to high hunger values if they didn't eat, William would have even wanted to save money on meals.
Although Nichole had mentioned yesterday that William could directly stay in the villa residence of the adventure team, he hesitated and declined.
After all, he still needed to conduct many magical experiments in his own basement laboratory. It was better for him to go home every day.
However, in the future, if there were things to attend to, he would still stay at Gedo Street. So, William chose a bedroom on the first floor of the villa.
The boys all lived on the first floor, while Nichole and Elena lived on the second floor.
William watched as Elena's captivating pointed ears twitched slightly, realizing that she also liked this flavor of pancakes.
"Good morning~." At this moment, Nichole yawned and slowly descended the stairs, wearing cute pink pajamas. Perhaps due to her restless sleep last night, her fair and delicate collarbones were exposed without any cover, right in front of William's eyes.
William remained composed and said to Nichole, who hadn't fully woken up yet, "Go wash up quickly. I've prepared breakfast."
Nichole also smelled the aroma of food and suddenly snapped out of her half-awake state.
"Ah, it smells so good." Nichole looked at the tempting breakfast on the table, rushed into the washroom, and after a clattering sound, emerged dressed neatly and sat down at the table. She began to enjoy the food along with Jason and Elena.
"Where's Lumbro? Should we call him out for breakfast?" William asked.
"No need. If that guy doesn't have anything to do, he likes to drink. If he drinks too much, he'll sleep until noon. Just leave him be," Jason waved his hand dismissively.
"Alright then." William didn't mind either.
After finishing breakfast, Jason took the initiative to clean up the tableware and wash them in the kitchen. He moved skillfully, indicating that he must have done this many times before.
"I'm so full~" Nichole hummed happily, leaning back on the sofa in the living room. Elena couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
"Let's get to work after eating," William patted her shoulder, feeling a bit helpless himself. Didn't you tell me to come early? How come it seems like you, the host, have forgotten about it?
"Alright, alright," Nichole said, taking out a white whip from her storage ring and handing it to William.
"This is a whip I bought when I was practicing before. You can use it for now."
William took the whip, feeling its special animal leather material, which was quite tough. It seemed to be crafted by a master.
Before William could get familiar with the whip, Nichole dragged him to the backyard of the villa, ready to start today's training.
