Six months have passed since the explosion at the inn.

The business in Bukit Sarren had made a lot of money for Daru. In these six months, Daru had collected over a million gold coins. Daru had also traded all of his silver coins and bronze coins for gold jewelry. Now, the exchange rate of one gold coin has risen to eleven silver coins or equivalent to Rp110,000, as Daru wishes.

Despite Daru's amount of money, he was not happy. That's because the development of his relationship with Frey is still the same as six months ago.

During the first month after the explosion incident at the inn, Daru and Frey tried in many places to do so, but still failed due to various things. Their last attempt was when they decided to do so outside of Moon City city. They camped in the open, but when they wanted to do their activities, they were surrounded by bandits. Eventually the anger of the two of them was vented by destroying the bandit camp that night.

They both finally gave up and waited for the author to give his permission.

At noon, Sarren Hill.

"Where's Xavier? He had promised to teach me magic, but until now he had not come, either" murmured Daru who was sitting alone on the second-floor sofa above his shop.

"His last post on Islagram was about to go to his teacher's grave, six months ago. Is he dead?" Daru leaned his body against the sofa.

Tok tok tok tok

The door opened and a woman entered the room.

"What's up, Frey?" ask Daru while staying leaned on the sofa.

"Umm .., that ...," Frey approached Daru and sat down beside him, then she continued, "Tag six months."

Deg

Daru's heart almost dislodged when he heard Frey's words.

Late? Late? We both have not done anything .... Lest there be anything else ..., thought Daru.

"Ehm ..., who is responsible?" ask Daru suspiciously.

"Of course it's you, Daru."

Jeng jeng jeng

A dramatic musical sound suddenly rang out in Daru's mind.

"But I haven't done it!" shouted Daru in disbelief.

"I know, you haven't done it until it's six months late" Frey replied.

Jeng jeng jeng

Was it in this world that could happen just from sleeping side by side!? thought Daru.

"Ehm ehm, a-is that really?" asked Daru nervously.

"Yes, Sylph and Shera too."

Jeng jeng jeng

One roof sleep can make a woman pregnant?

"They were afraid to offend it with you and chose to let it go. It's nothing Daru, but my parents need money to live" Frey added.

"Eh? Money?" ask Daru

"Yes, salary issues. What were you thinking about?" Frey tilted his head full of question marks.

It was just money ..., I guess what, Daru thought.

"It's nothing. Next time, remind me of your salary every month. I completely forgot about that before," Daru said. He then took out a single bag containing 19,200 gold coins after counting for a moment.

"Your figure is five hundred gold coins a month, while the other three hundred gold coins. Share it with them" Daru said, handing the bag over to Frey.

"You used to say my salary was worth one difficult mission a month, it was about a hundred gold coins, why did you give me five hundred gold coins?" ask Frey astonishment.

"Business in Sarren Hill has many advantages, and you also experience many times the danger. Is it worth it for me to give you only a hundred coins? After all you are my right hand who takes care of most of the shop matters" Daru explained.

Frey smiled happily and peeked at Daru's cheek, he said, "I'll share it with the others. Thank you." Thank you."

"Yes, good job, Frey," Daru replied.

Frey descends to the upper first floor to hand out employee salaries, leaving Daru on the upper second floor alone.

I thought I was gonna be a father. Hah, thank God, I am not ready, Daru said in his heart.

"Maybe it's time for my next plan. Blue Star Restaurant and Bull's Horn Bar really have planted strong roots in Sarren Hill. But I have to learn about magic first, reducing the risk of death" Daru murmured.

Daru opens his smartphone and tries to find a guidebook to do magic on the Universal Online Shopping web.

....

"Hahh, I'd rather be a fool than wait for Xavier to teach me magic," Daru muttered after reading the entire description of the item.

Daru decided to buy it.

After a few seconds, the package arrived. Daru immediately signed the receipt letter and received the package.

In the package there is one book and one clear glasses. Daru then put on those glasses and opened the book.

Daru read carefully word by word. He finally understood a little about the basics of magic.

Magic is the embodiment of which the body is processed, and the way to process it is with imagination in the mind of the user. The first step the user must take before being able to cast magic is to unify his mind and his mana circle. The user must be able to feel which circles are like his own limbs, for example moving them freely throughout the body, removing them, etc.

After that, the user should be able to imagine about the magic that will be done. Usually magic users will say spells to make it easier to imagine the magic. For example, when doing fire magic, if a user says the word "fire", then what he has in mind must be an orange-tongued object that emits heat throughout the direction. The more magic users felt the heat from the fire, the more the fire magic results also grew hotter.

After successfully imagining magic, the user must unite his mana with the imagination and flow the mana to his limbs, then release it in the direction the user wants, then become fire magic.

Daru began to try it, he tried to move the mana in his mana circle to the rest of the body. In just a few minutes, Daru managed to circulate his mana throughout the body at the same speed as the blood circulation. Each time the mana passes through a certain part of the body, Daru feels the warmth that runs on that part of the body.

"This is what it feels like to have mana ..," murmured Daru.

Daru then began imagining a considerable fire in his mind. Daru tried to feel the warmth of the fire until he felt his body heat up slowly.

After that, Daru started to fuse mana and fire in his mind. He also poured both of these things into his palm.

Suddenly,

"It's fire! Ahaha!" daru shouted in excitement after seeing his palm let out an orange-colored flame

Daru tries to regulate the fire, such as reducing its size, enlarging, throwing, and controlling its motion.

"It's amazing!" his yell.

An idea suddenly broke down the door in his mind.

Suddenly

Zuzzzz

The fire in Daru's hand shrank and extended, the sight was familiar to Daru, it was like a fire commonly used to weld iron in the old Daru world.

"It's too cool!" daru was amazed.

Daru again tried to enlarge that flame and add to the power of the mana flow. The fire also extended to the size of a sword, adding Daru's admiration for magic.

Daru suddenly realized something strange. "Why don't I feel the heat from this fire?" mumbling slowly.

Daru instantly turned off the fire and went back to reading the guidebook.

After a few pages were read, Daru learned an interesting fact.

"Ooh, so the magic user can't feel the pain of his own magic because the mana of that magic is the same mana that's on his body" Daru said as he stroked his chin.

After Daru read the entire contents of the book, Daru's understanding of magic shot up. He also made a variation of the magic that he named "Cool Fire."

"Fire Cool first shape," Daru said before his palm let out a welding flame like before.

"Cool fire second form." The fire that was previously on Daru's palm split into five and moved on Daru's fingers. The fire was shaped like a needle 4 cm long, Daru functioned the magic as a long-range magic.

He threw all five flames against the wall.

suuuut tap

Daru's eyes widened in shock when he saw that his wall suddenly had five holes with a burnt edge. When Daru approached the five holes, his fire magic was still in the hole and lit up full of arrogance.

"I still feel the flow of mana from my five fingers towards that flame needle, is it like this magic mechanism being thrown?" muttered.

Daru stopped the flow of mana coming out of his finger and suddenly the five needles of fire were gone.

"Fire cool third shape." Suddenly Daru's right palm was enveloped in a welding flame that led to Daru's middle fingertip. The tip of the flame was shaped like the tip of a sword, Daru was sure that it was quite sharp.

"This shape can make a short distance, the second shape can make a long distance, and the first form to make ... flame cigarettes?" muttered.

Suddenly a shout and whistling sounded from the top one floor.

Fiiiiuuut

Daru frowned and turned off his magic before walking towards the upper first floor.

....

"What's the fuss?" daru asked Lydia who was standing by the stairs.

"ah! B-boss! I-it ...." Lydia was confused as to how to answer Daru's question.

"What's wrong?" daru asked increasingly curious.

"Boss Frey was proposed by top-ranked adventurer Chris" Lydia replied as she lowered her head. All Daru employees know that their two bosses are in a relationship.

"Hooo, is Chris that great?" asked Daru pretending to be calm. In fact, which man would dare to propose to my woman in my own residence! shouted Daru in the heart.

"He's ranked higher than Boss Frey" Lydia replied.

Calm Daru ..., calm ..., said Daru inwardly trying to calm down.

"A-is he better looking than me?" asked Daru a little nervously.

"Boss want a response that soothes the Boss' heart or an honest answer?" ask Lydia innocently.

"Please, be honest." Daru was getting ready to hear Lydia's answer.

"Sorry Boss, Chris is more handsome than the Boss a few times."

Jeng jeng

Dramatic music was reverberating in Daru's mind.

"Ahahaha, your salary this month I cut, ahaha," said Daru.

Lydia was surprised, not because of Daru's words, but because of Daru's blank gaze.

"Boss! Be aware! Cut my pay, but please be aware!" Lydia panicked and pulled Daru's collar which was still in a state of emptiness.

"Ahaha, I cut your salary, ahaha." Daru.

Lydia rushed into the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water, then she returned to her original position and splashed water onto Daru's face using her fingers.

"Conscious! Boss!" lydia said as she continued to splash water on Daru's face.

Daru also realized because his face was now completely wet.

Frey will definitely not accept his proposal. That must be ..., thought Daru.

"Yes, I realize. Where's Frey now?" asked Daru after being fully aware.

"Umm, after Chris proposed to Boss Frey, Boss Frey did not answer and immediately pulled Chris' hand and ran eastward. If it wasn't a Blue Star Restaurant, maybe the two of them were heading for Bull's Horn Bar. Boss Frey also asked Liz to replace her job because maybe Boss Frey will take a little while," Lydia replied with relief after seeing her boss had regained consciousness.

"Ahaha, he must have accepted it, ahaha, your salary this month I hold, aha." Daru returned to his empty state.

"Boss!"

After a while.

"Huhh, forget it. I'm going to Uncle Vanir's. Go back to your work, "Daru told Lydia after returning to calm.

"B-Boss all right?" lydia asked with concern.

"You want an answer that relaxes your heart or an honest answer?"

"I'm going back to work, Boss!" lydia shouted as she ran to continue her work.

Hahh, there's no point thinking about that. I better immediately continue my plan against Sarren Hill, Daru said.

Daru goes to Moon City to meet King Vanir.

....

Meanwhile at Bar Bull's Horn.

"I'm sorry Chris, I already have a partner" Frey told a handsome blonde man in front of her. The man was Chris, a top-ranked adventurer just like Frey.

"Who's your partner? Come on, Frey, marry me and I'll help you free your parents, I have many connections that I believe are enough to make the noble let go of both of your parents" Chris pleaded.

"My parents have been freed by the same people I love today" Frey said.

"What's so great about people who rely solely on money to attract women?" chris asked trying to vilify Daru.

"He didn't use money to do that. He used his power, "frey replied in a high tone.

"Power? I'm sure I'm stronger than him. I can even defeat him with one punch. Frey, don't be with a weak man" Chris replied proudly.

Frey's gaze became terrifying after Chris blatantly mocked Daru.

"Pronounce that one more time and I'll pull my sword" Frey threatened in a cold tone.

Chris was a little surprised by the reaction Frey showed, saying, "I'm sorry, who's your lover?"

"Daru, the owner of Sarren Hill, is my boss" Frey replied.

Chris gasped in shock after hearing Frey's reply. Who does not know Daru? He was the owner of Sarren Hill who became the lip of everyone in the Resia Kingdom, he was also the same person who made the Carnavian Family kneel down, he said, and he was the only commoner who could call King Vanir "Uncle".

"I admit defeat, be happy, Frey. Please apologize to Mr. Daru for insulting him and trying to propose to his girlfriend" Chris said before leaving Frey. Chris's guts really shrunk after hearing Daru's name. After all, the title of a top-ranked adventurer was still below the Duke-level noble title, and Daru could even make the Carnavian Family who was one of the Duke-level Nobles kneel before him.

Frey nodded in response to Chris.

Hopefully Daru doesn't hear the news that Chris proposed to me today, I'm afraid he'll be angry Frey said in a hopeful heart.

However, his hope would not come true, since Daru already knew about it.
