"Ah, it's quite tiring to also work like this !" Said Lorrain sitting on one of the chairs.
"Yes, this is nothing for us !" Lucia approached and brought a glass of cold lemon water.
"Thank you, Lucia..." Lorrain took the glass and drank it immediately. "It's nothing... You guys are used to it, aren't you !?" Ask Lorrain.
"Hm... Because it's common to get used to things like this. If it's lonely we become bored" replied Lucia again.
In the kitchen, Yuna was sitting in a small chair, and she looked exhausted. "Ace, you work every day in a place like this. Aren't you feeling hot ?" Yuna asked.
"Initially it was, but because I was used to not feeling too hot" replied Ace who looks still making something. "This is chief, drink this cold lemon water... So you feel fresher !"
Ace then gave Yuna a glass of cold lemon water. Yuna immediately drank the water.
"Glleek... Hm... It was really fresh after drinking it ! But it felt a little sour" Sahut Yuna felt refreshed.
"True, although a little sour but still good to drink. And the body immediately feels refreshed" Ace added.
Suddenly Carmen screams in shock looking into the crate of cooking ingredients that have stayed a little. The girl's voice was heard by all the stall managers and visitors who were still sitting there.
"Agh... We're out of cooking !" Carmen yells.
"What's up, Carmen, don't yell that loud..." Lucia then came over.
"See senior, because we brought potluck materials from the inn. Now we're short of food !" Carmen's remarks showed an almost empty storage crate.
"Ughs... I haven't been shopping this week either. We should immediately buy new cooking ingredients now !" Lucia Sahut. "Hm... Ace, please go buy me some cooking supplies. Our supplies are running out" Lucia approached Ace in the kitchen.
"Eh... Really ? I barely saw him just now because I was busy cooking" Reply Ace who was in shock. "Well, I'll leave as soon as I can..."
"Wait, Ace ! Sorry to bother you, chief Yuna will you also go shopping with Ace. And take Miss Lorrain with you" asked Lucia to Yuna, who was seen sitting in her chair.
"Eh... About it... Of course I'll help. And then let me invite Lorrain" Yuna replied happily.
"Anu... But Lucia... I used to go alone !" Said Ace evasive.
"Not for this time, after all by going all three would be much lighter. And more groceries can be brought" Sahut Lucia denied.
"Lucian... You have a lot of heart...!" Ace looks resigned. "I'm trying to lighten your load, loh !" Lucia said back.
"Huh... All right, let's go, chief ! We're going to the port market near here" Ace said resignedly.
"Don't you like me helping ?!" Yuna asked who suddenly stood up. "Eh ?! Wasn't... I mean I'm glad you could come with me..." Ace's a little awkward.
"Oh... All right, I'll let's go ! I'll take Lorrain first wait a minute..." Yuna then immediately came out and approached Lorrain who was seen sitting down to relax.
Not long after that Yuna came back with Lorrain who looked very happy. "Come, Ace soon we're leaving !" Said Lorrain who immediately took the bag with a light green flower motif of his.
"Hm... Let's go !" Sahut Ace's.
Not to forget Lucia gave a list of groceries that they had to buy after seeing the ingredients in a nearly empty crate. As well as giving enough silver coins to pay for all the groceries.
"Alright, all the exhausted material has already been written in this list. And I think this bag of silver coins is enough to pay for everything !" Lucia gave it to Ace.

After a long walk, the three men finally reached the port. There were many people in the port area. The port of Eleanor is quite large, and is also the largest pier center in the city of Eleanor. Many boats dock at the dock, ranging from large to small boats, cargo ships and fishing boats, as well as cruise ships to rent to adventurers who want to vacation.
"Gee... It's so many !" Lorrain was amazed.
"Yes, this is the activity in Eleanor's harbor. A lot of good stuff just got off the ship" Sahut Ace looked around the harbor like he was looking for something.
"Good stuff ?! You mean like the cooking ingredients we're going to buy ?" Yuna asked who was also looking around.
"Hm... Yes, usually we can also get a more skewed price !" Ace is back. "And also fresh ingredients..." Ace added.
"Oh, then let's go find the best cooking ingredients !" Lorrain interrupted.
"Hm... We're looking for him !" Ace is back.
"Huh ?!"
Reply Yuna and Lorrain were simultaneously shocked to hear Ace's remark. "From now on we're just walking around, are you looking for him, Ace ?!" Yuna asked curiously.
"Yes... That's one of the ingredients we need. Let's get there !" Point Ace at the fruit seller who just dropped boxes containing fruit from the ship.
Ace immediately approached the fruit seller, Yuna followed him from behind. "Eh ?! Wait a..." Said Lorrain who also followed the two of them.
"Come fast, Lorrain !" Sahut Yuna hurried over.
"Sir, your fruits look fresh. Can I buy some of these fruits ?" Ask Ace while chatting to the seller.
"Oh... Young man, your eyesight is very good. All these fruits have just been taken down from the ship" replied the seller. "of course... Which fruit do you want to buy ?" Answer the seller and ask.
"Can I choose this fruit myself ?" Ace asked back.
"Yes, of course you can... Please choose !" Reply the seller invites Ace to choose.
Then Ace immediately approached the fruit boxes. And it looks like he is choosing the best fresh fruit from the pile of fruits. Meanwhile the two women who were with him could only see Ace's shrewdness choosing those fruits.
"Ace, you're great. Can see the best fruits among this pile of fruits" Yuna said in awe.
"Not really, it's because I'm used to it !" Answer Ace who is still busy choosing fruit.
"Yes, Ace. You are indeed great, even I myself am confused to choose which fruit" Sahut Lorrain beside his left who was watching.
"Haha... Thank you for the compliment. Do you want me to teach you how to choose fresh fruit too !?" Ace asked.
"Hm... Just tenju !" Yuna answered.
"Tenju just want to...!" Lorrain.
"Alright, watch..." Reply Ace which then explains how to choose fresh fruit. It looks like the three of them are busy choosing fresh fruit in the fruit box among the crowded activities in the harbor.
