Albert's party head to potions store to stock up some more and deliver their Earth Chives. The earth chives quest they take from the village hall turns out to be a commission quest from the store. Upon delivering the store would buy their earth chives for 3 copper each.
”Emma!!!! What are you doing here? I thought you were assigned to a different tutorial village.” Alice greet one of her friends excitedly
Due to Albert's physical condition, Alice becomes a target for bullying when she's young. Little did they know the little devil is very cunning and she destroys the bully group by pinning them against each other. Picking the weakest of the bully and make their school life miserable as her life goal.
Emma is one of Alice's friends who stick with her through some difficult time hence she treated her as a really precious friend. Emma is in a 5 man party with her cousin and her cousin's friend. Previously on the second day after the experiment; Alice asks her to join their group in the morning assembly;
Emma decline as her parents told her to stick with her cousin if possible. Emma is not that close with her cousin but as blood is thicker than water she joins her cousin group and dives in the tutorial world together.
”Alice!!! I didn't know that you also start in this village. Maybe the school assigned more than 1 group in each village?” Emma greet Alice back
”Well, whatever the reason is it turns out to be good for us. We can hang out together if when we have free time. Have you tried to go outside? Fighting monsters around the village are really fun. We killed a lot of horned rabbits today.”
Alice starts telling her about her day while the rest of the party goes inside the shop. Turns out Emma's party also finishes their potions stock so they are restocking inside the shop. Emma's cousin, Drew is a sports guy and only hangs around with other sports guys. Alice greets him as he exits the store but he didn't hang around for long as his other teammate is eager to hunt more.
The two girls said goodbye to each other and go on their own way. Albert party acquires a little more than 3 silver selling all the Earth Chives they gather. Overall they gain a little under 10 silver from hunting for 2 hours. Deducting the cost of Mr. Theo fee they still gain more than they starting funds.
Spending the money at a faster rate than they gain it the party goes on a shopping spree. 3 stacks of lesser HP potions cost them 4 and a half silver; On top of that they still need other utility potions such as lesser MP potions.
Looking at the time they still have around 3 and a half hours before 3 pm. The group decides to go out and hunt again to raise their experience and gather carcasses for Kana's quest.
