Chapter 217 Noodles With Tomato Sauce

Fein walked slowly in the center of the road. He would brush the shoulder of people now and then because of the tight crowd. Sweat filled his forehead as he looked at the sea of people in front of him helplessly.

'I didn't know that it would be this crowded in this market.'

As he walk, He could see various stalls that sell ingredients, clothes, and fruits. Of course, the clothes weren't like the ones in Roger's shop. It's The good thing is, the poor could afford them because of the low prices.

"Come, we sell clothes for ninety-nine bronze coins."

"Hey dude, what do you want? We have food and clothes here."

"Come buy fruits in our stand. We have bigger and fresh ones this season."

Various voices, some high pitch while some low pitch, entered his ears. He could also hear the murmuring of the crowds here in and there. A lot of consumers negotiate with the merchants to lower the price, and some even argue in loud voices.

'There's really no difference. The noisiness is always the sign of a lively market, even in other worlds.' Fein took out a silver coin in his pocket.

He walked to a couple of kids with rag shirts. Dirt covered their faces that almost making them look darker.

Fein felt a heavy feeling. He always dislikes seeing homeless kids because he has a soft spot for them. If he could only magically eradicate poverty, he would have done it long ago.

"Here, soothe your bellies with food, okay?" Fein gave the eight kids in front of him two silver coins.

If they spend it on food to satiate their hunger three times a day. It could last them months.

The eight kids looked at the silver coins in their palms with shock. Suddenly one of them, who seems to be the oldest, teared up and glanced at Fein and bowed.

"Thank you, mister, for your generosity."

Seeing this, the other younger kids imitated him and bowed at Fein gratefully.

A cute little girl went to Fein and hugged his thighs. Then she came back to her place after a few seconds.

Fein felt mixed emotions in his heart after he saw the cute little girl do this. "You can raise your heads." He patted their heads gently, then his face turned serious and reminded them, "Don't show your coins to others. There are lots of bad people out there."

? "Yes!" The eight of them nodded vigorously and looked left and right vigilantly while clenching the silver coins in their hands.

'Cute!' Fein felt that his heart almost melted seeing them such a thing with innocent faces.

"Good. I will always visit you here once every month. Do you see that stairs? Always meet me there every first of the month in the morning, okay?" Fein smiled.

The eight nod their heads at the same time. Then the oldest stepped forward and spoke. "My name is Klein Tobi. What's yours, older brother?"

"Well, you can call me Fein." He smiled at the kid. Then he took out pieces of bronze coins and gave them to Klein. "Just use this for now instead of the silver coins. Make sure to look out for your brothers and sisters."

...

After the small episode with the kids. Fein roamed in the market for an hour and began familiarizing himself with the place. He decided that he would be the one to buy the ingredients from now on instead of his mother.

He had already bought the necessary ingredients and stored them in his storage space.

Fein saw familiar carriages on the left of a building that had a sun symbol above. 'Is this the church of the Sun Goddess?'

He glanced up and down at the Church. Golden ornaments, white with rays of the sun as a pattern, and an enchanting woman that sat on a golden throne filled the walls.

'Is it possible that she belongs to the gods who fought with the devils and titans?' Fein couldn't help but think of this.

...

Smoke filled the room, and the sound of sizzling meat sounded. Fein changes position every second as fast as a womanizer changes their girlfriends. Melissa behind him started to bake her specialties as he asked her to bake for them. Although he can learn relatively fast, he wants to eat his mother's cooking.

After he checked out the church, he quickly lost interest and rushed to his home. He doesn't need to take a carriage at all as his feet move faster than them. He only takes carriages if the place is relatively far away. If not, he would just run and enjoy the scenery.

"What's the occasion?" Melissa asked and put newly baked egg pies on the containers.

"It's just a small celebration," Fein answered without looking back.

Melissa started to prepare the baking pans and put down the butter and sugar in her hand.

"Celebration for what?"

THUD!

Before Fein could answer, the door opened with a bang. Melissa and Fein stopped their movements and glanced at Fey, who entered. Fey wore pink pajamas while wiping her eyes. She yawned while stretching her arms upward. Her nose twitched slightly as the smell of food came into her nostrils.

"Our princess is finally awake." Fein smiled. He could see her heavy eyelids and her stiff movements. 'She slept late again. Must be because of training and her studies.'

"What are the two of you doing?" Fey mumbled and sat on the pink sofa.

Melissa, who finished baking, sat beside her daughter with a stern face and stared her directly in the eyes. "Why are you sleeping later than usual?"

"Studying," Fey answered shortly and stared back at her mother.

In truth, her heart hurt because she doesn't really want to lie to their mother. She kept reminding herself that it was for her safety. After all, her mother would become worried to death and she would be the first to object if she knew what they were doing, and what kind of things they were involved in. Currently, she knew that keeping her in the dark was for the best.
