Chapter 28: Planned Feast

Erika nodded her head, agreeing to Marcel's words.

"Also, not only that. If someone is in need of materials that can be found in this Yak's body, you can even sell it for an even higher price." She added.

Hearing that, Sara also began to hesitate. She did not know that this Yak cost that much as normal meat in the market would only cost around 5 Silver Coins per kilo. One must note that a single Gold Coin was equivalent to 1,000 Silver Coins. Her monthly wage being a lowly servant in the red manor was only 200 Silver Coins per month, barely enough to live paycheck to paycheck in this remote village.

One kilo of normal animal meat would almost cost her entire day of work so she would only prepare them on special occasions.

Hence, when she received the 50 Gold Coins that Miguel handed to her, she was extremely happy. However, he did not plan to buy lavish things for herself, instead, she planned to go to the market during her day off and buy Miguel some brand new clothes and other necessities that he might need on his trip to the main branch.

When she received the 100 Gold Coins compensation pay from Jonas' death, she became even more confident on being able to buy Miguel the clothes he deserves.

She calculated in her mind and her face lost color when she realized how many Gold Coins this massive Yak would fetch Miguel if he sold it at the market.

It was good to brag about Miguel's achievement, but if it was this pricey, she was no longer willing to.

She turned to look at Miguel and said, "Miggy, don't waste such valuable money. You can use it to buy some things in the main branch. Don't worry about us too much, alright?"

Miguel thought for a moment before he let out a smile, "Don't worry about it mom. I don't need this much money now anyways and besides, we should treat our guests with the utmost hospitality, right?"

In truth, Miguel actually did not expect it for the yak's meat to be that high. However, earning money was not the main reason why he brought the yak back.

His real reason was really to treat all their neighbors into a feast before he leaves the village.

Even for him, a Level 3 Normal Grade meat was still something very valuable. Although he could afford to buy it, he would only do so during an important occasion. After all, for summoners, strengthening their body was not important. Instead, they should focus on training their chant to summon the grimoire more quickly, or train their beasts so that they could use attacks and follow orders more efficiently during a battle.

"Right, I'll leave the two of you to talk. I'll go over to help. Level 3 meats are quite tough to cut, they might not be able to cut them with normal knives." Marcel stated before he left without waiting for Miguel and Erika to respond.

After his figure disappeared, Miguel turned his head and caught Erika staring right into his face.

Caught in the act, Erika could only gently move her gaze away as she said, "I did not expect for you to truly recover from your condition and you even awakened a grimoire at the same time."

The condition she mentioned was of course, him being a 'fool' before. Long before she awakened, she had already noticed Miguel's peculiarity. He was very handsome yet he acted like he was always in a daze and didn't talk with others. He would even laugh on his own from time to time.

She was attracted to how handsome he was yet she kept a distance from him due to the condition. It was not that she did not try approaching him either, it was just that she was ignored ruthlessly like the others.

In the end, she could only gaze at him from afar, admire his looks as she came of age, awakened a grimoire and finally moved to Blazing City two years ago.

When she saw the mission of bringing this year's Peach Village grimoire awakeners, she immediately accepted the mission as she thought it was convenient as she wanted to return home anyways. Part of the reason was that she missed her father, and the other was, she wanted to see Miguel's handsome face once again.

When she heard her father mention that Miguel had awakened, she was reluctant to believe it, yet expectant to its truthfulness at the same time. When she saw Miguel conversing to his mother earlier, Erika was elated and overjoyed.

Her gaze was fixed on his handsome face before she was caught in the act by Miguel himself.

Miguel smiled and answered, "I did not expect this to happen either."

"Oh, right, do you happen to know someone named Domen?" He suddenly asked.
