The Strange Life I Live

Prepare to Return

Zen was quite pleased with the increase in his adventurer level that had already reached B rank. This was because all the points he got against various monsters, were not divided because he was adventuring alone.

So it is not surprising that the rank of Zen adventurers will quickly increase, although to rise to rank A he needs an evaluation, in addition to collecting some enough points to rise to the next rank.

“Thank you” Zen said and received all the payment he received, then took the adventurer card and exclusive contract with Tina, and, then prepare to leave there after he said goodbye to the beautiful receptionist who helped him earlier.

Tina also began to follow Zen's steps leaving the place, after he had also taken his payment. Actually Tina wanted to protest about the payment, but Zen had now walked away first.

“Kak.. isn't this mostly?” said Tina who got 7 platinum coins, 92 gold coins, 1 silver coin and 14 bronze coins from the payment she received.

It was because he had only followed Zen for six days, so the pay was only that much. But the income he got from following Zen, such as earning income following a novice adventurer for several years.

So according to Tina, the payment he received was excessive and wanted to return it to Zen, to adjust the payment he should have gotten. Moreover, Zen always bore the issue of eating and lodging for him.

“What is most? shouldn't each group have to divide their income equally?” said Zen.

“But I'm just a porter Kak, unlike Brother who fights all the monsters that Brother defeated. Even my duty sometimes Brother do” replied Tina who insisted that she did not deserve that much payment.

“You want a porter, support or whatever it is. If you are in my group, the pay will be split evenly. So it is fitting that you are paid like that while adventuring with me” said Zen later.

According to Zen, both the tasks of one member of the group are considered very easy, still they have a contribution in the group. So Zen must pay them properly, which is to divide the average payment he receives.

Of course Tina continued to refuse to accept the very much money and she already held it. But Zen continued to insist that that was the fee he received. So inevitably Tina accepted the payment with a forced feeling.

“Smart child. After all you are so strange, why such a lot of money you refuse?” said Zen.

“Because most Kak” said Tina later.

“If Big Brother is in your position, Big Brother will gladly accept it. According to Brother, do not waste all the opportunities you find, because maybe the opportunity will never come back.” Clearly Zen while leading the journey with Tina towards a place.

“Acclocation?” reply Tina then who did not fully understand the words of her brother.

“Iya... The chance to live a better life. Do you want to always starve and continue living inappropriately?” reply Zen.

Indeed, the payment received by Tina from Zen was her biggest wage during her time as a porter. Even a few years he has been in this job, but it is certain that his income during this time will not reach the wages he currently receives if added up.

“K-Then I will accept it Kak” reply Tina who was forced to accept the payment given by Zen.

Zen just smiled hearing that Tina had started receiving wages from the results of her hard work, because that was what Zen expected. She thinks of Tina as Yui, like her own sister. So she did not want any of her sisters to lead a tragic life.

“Then where are we going Kak?” tanya Tina then who had put all her coins into a gem store that she received from Zen.

“Follow me” reply Zen.

On the other hand, a woman was currently patiently waiting for a man who should have already returned to this place today. But it turns out that the nose of the man has not been seen, and makes the woman has lost her patience to wait here.

“Hm...he was the prince dear?” said a man next to him.

“Yap..” replied the woman with a smile engraved on her face.

The one-armed man he was waiting for was currently walking with a girl in her 10s. Upon seeing the whereabouts of the woman waiting for him, the man used his arm to wave his hand at him.

“I returned Mira” said the man who is Zen, after seeing the woman he knew was standing in front of the inn he owned.

“Hm... welcome back. ” reply the beautiful woman returned a greeting from Zen and welcome Zen who is now approaching her direction.

Zen was quite happy that someone was waiting for him to return and made him feel a little moved because he remembered about his previous life, which was very inversely proportional to his current life.

“Introduce this my fiancee Meso” said Mira introduced her fiance to Zen.

“Ah... weren't you the one who helped me while in Pina Tuan village?” asked Zen who recognized the man Mira had introduced him to.

Indeed, the man named Meso was one of the party members from Lucas, and he is still often adventurous to take some missions from the Adventurer Guild. So even though the group has disbanded, he still often works and is also currently engaged to his fellow group mates.

“Wow... I am very honored to be known by the man who has the light element” reply.

“I am honored Sir, for knowing you” reply Zen later.

“Do not call master to me. Even though I am older than Mira, you can call me Meso just like you call her familiar” Meso told Zen.

“Alright then Meso, and introduce this My sister Tina” said Zen.

Tina timidly bowed before the two people she had just met. Of course Tina knew who the two of them were, as they were both one of the few very famous people who were in this region.

So, Tina was nervous about meeting people as famous as them, but tried as much as possible not to be wrong in acting, so that she did not embarrass her brother who had introduced himself to them.

“Tina yes..a suitable name for a girl as blanket as you” reply Mira who patted lightly head from Tina.

“T-Thank you N-Nona Mira” reply Tina who felt happy when praised by Mira.

Indeed, Tina's current appearance has changed completely from her previous appearance, which is where she is currently more maintained with her clothes that are always clean when worn by her.

“Then, when will you return to Vermillion City?” ask Mira later.

“I can go directly now” reply Zen, because indeed he also wants to quickly solve the problem of the daughter of Lucas.

“Alright, your horse I have prepared and we will leave in one hour” Meso said later.

“Kita?” Reply Zen who does not understand, what is meant by Kita spoken by Meso

“Ya.. we both also come with you to the Capital”
