Another: Memory of Another World

Ch. 40 Future Plans

The goblin purge resumed after Red Orge's defeat. There is no proper word to describe the scene other than "extermination". Because the executioner's face is cold and expressionless as a farmer who sprayed insecticide.

Antares did not eradicate all of them, leaving one group of Goblins consisting of 5 individuals only. With their speed of reproduction, it is not strange that the Antares should come again a week later.

When he was about to get out, he was greeted by a stray dog-type monster that was eating the corpse of a goblin that Antares had killed. At first the boy had intended to kill some dogs, but he undoes his intentions. Then he left with the [Presence Concealment] skill that was still active.

Unlike the wolves, those who eat first are children, old dogs, and sick, while the rest of the dogs are on guard.

Antares did not like the heroic figure so much, but saw him directly still touch his heart. He is not a dog-loving type.

When it got outside, the sun began to sink on the west side, signaling the coming of dusk soon. Antares stood in the sun with a shining face covered in sweat, but still looked beautiful and shiny. He stretched his waist several times, before finally jumping onto a tree branch.

He met some ferocious beasts on the way, and killed them easily. Antares also took the time to take fresh fruits that look ripe and tempting.

When he got home, an old man was waiting at the door with a pair of transparent figures that only Antares could see.

"Finally coming home too, I thought you were dead in the wild beast's den." He said, sighing slowly.

"What do you mean, huh? If I just die, you'll be lonely grandpa."

"Huh, that's impossible! don't fabricate! Quickly come in and take a shower, your body stinks!"

"It's just your hallucination."

"I'm gonna blow your nose so you can smell better."

"Yes, yeah, what are we eating today?" Antares said as he walked in casually.

"Grotto man-style grilled meat, again." Steve's eyes twitched slightly when he said the word "again.

"Yeah, maybe it's time we moved on." Antares with a bit of bitter color.

It had already been a month since the two of them were living in the ruins of this village. From then on, they only ate roasted/burn meat or fresh fruits.

True, not having a hobby in cooking is the main problem. Well, the problem can be solved easily using [Persona]. But Antares chose not to.

Antares showers for a long time for some reason. Once out, the sun had already sunk at the western end, leaving behind a reddish sky and golden clouds like incandescent lava.

"Eat." Steve said across from Antares.

Antares is served with venison that is still attached to his bones. A savory aroma emanated from within it, stirring up anyone who was about to eat it. There is a small sprinkling of leeks, celery, and salt to add to its taste. At first glance, the meat looks very delicious and satisfying.

Antares took one bone, prayed for a while, and ate it in silence.

Steve frowned slightly, but he didn't make any sound. Choose to drown in the silence of the dinner.

At the end of the day, Antares spent 7 stabs alone, while Steve was only 4. it was not chicken thighs that contained nothing, but, but the thighs and ribs of the deer are each equivalent to one portion of adult food. And Antares spent 7 servings alone. The boy wiped the remains of the meat stuck in his mouth with a satisfied face.

City, ha.. Honestly, I didn't think much about it. I'd rather live here, no noise, full of freedom, and peace, just have to eradicate monsters every day. With the destruction of the village of Astera, there was no longer any nature called to be a militia. No more tax collectors bothering us every day. // Think Astera with slightly empty eyes.

"Maybe it's time to go."

"True, the city is a place full of opportunities, such as adventurers or merchants. Or can you register as a military soldier? with your abilities, I'm sure you'll become a great knight easily. Ahhaha!"

"I could, but I can't. I'll just be a Worker or an Assassin."

"Ha, why? You have a certain grudge with someone?"

"Not really, I just don't want to be affiliated with someone. Hm, setting up a guild might be a good thing. No, a trading company might be a good thing. I can start by opening one permanent store and a traveling caravan. With the persona as the core team, the team leader, as well as the guard, everything will be fine. I also don't need to mind the existence of bandits and monsters. But the problem would continue with the nobles and other merchants Are the merchants also affiliated with the guild? if true, then I need to change some of my original plans. That also includes the issue of licensing and-"

"Wait, wait a minute, you've thought about it that far? You can start by opening a shop. So what do you want to sell?"

Antares was silent for a moment. "For now, I'll focus on staple foods like wheat and potatoes, maybe a little spice like salt and sugar. If successful I will continue with semi-finished materials such as cloth or finished materials such as clothing, jewelry, and sword equipment. Next maybe I'll open a workshop in pharmaceuticals and industry as a subsidiary."

"It looks like you're really ready..." I don't know why Steve suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He was also surprised that Antares was not interested as an adventurer. "Well, go to sleep, we'll leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"All right, good night."

Steve was silent as he watched Antares walk into his room. In his heart he said, //terrible child. Since when did he know that the merchant also had a guild? And all those trade project plans, haish, it seems I'm getting too old.

In his room, Antares pulls out a red egg from his storage. The egg was floating outside the air clad in mana Antares.

Now, what am I supposed to do with you? // Antares opens a semi-transparent AR screen. Then he activated [Book of Truth]. The relevant information immediately appears in the form of a small window in the augmented reality screen. It is still an egg that has not yet formed an embryo. It takes at least 3 years for the eggs to hatch naturally or longer. The only factor that determines the hatching is which. A large amount of mana is needed to incubate the eggs.

This problem can be easily solved.

Antares immediately activated his newly acquired special skill, [Virtual Bug]. It might be easier to call a parasite. A worm with eyes and mouth immediately came out from the water ripples that suddenly appeared in the air, hovering, then entered into the egg. It only takes 2 seconds until the parasite process is successful, then the status of the egg changes.

The Red Dragon Egg

status, Antares avatar >>

Antares enters 3 other alien worms into the egg. When activated he feels like sleeping in a warm and comfortable place.

Without lingering any longer, an elemental figure shot out from the empty air with a wooden stick and green gems. He pointed the stick's head at the red egg. Then the egg was enveloped with a green aura full of life.

Within seconds, the egg began to crack.
