Chapter 164 Fresh relationship. (1/2)

“Here you go”

“Thank you”

Roland took the salt shaker that Elodia passed hi it to the side the two people in the rooat taverns and pubs this was certainly a nice change of pace The food in this world lacked seasoning and the only way to go around it was to have a person with a cooking skill to prepare theeveryone could learn but it didn’t really help out with anything Only when it went past the basic one would it allow the user to affect the h skill, even food that was close to being rotten could be turned into a gourher-tier cooking skill While her talents were in mathematics she actually was in possession of the Housekeeper class This was quite the rudiet a plethora of skills to help around the house

It was one of the bonuses of not being given a proper combat class Non co classes either could be leveled up fast They were ave people some quality of life skills

They still counted as proper classes though, even when they required less experience to level, unless a person didn’t intend to go towards the crafter or coe into such a class

Elodia on the other hand was actually at a higher level than him She had leveled many of ould be considered side classes as she was unable to get any of the harder ones This was nothing out of the ordinary, this was actually what the majority of the commoners were

When asked about the choice of class, Elodia explained that shein too deep about her past but the orphanage that she ran required so healthier

Noas profiting from her chosen skills as he could receive home-cooked meals almost every day

The silent ht back to how they ended up in this situation It was the little things that soether at the sa into each other while handling runic equipment was a daily occurrence

It also helped that Bernir along with Elodia’s two siblings constantly egged the two on After a silly e proposal they just went along with it One thing led to another and the two started to slowly grow fond of each others coainst the relationshi+p ever-bloo as he was clearly Elodia’s boss The power imbalance was obvious here but apparently, in this world, this was a given Unless the her position than the wo was also son asa family This was a bit of a shock to hi one before If he counted the years from his old world he would actually be an oldtwenty-year-old’s body that was in his pri with his current status as a Runesmith would probably allow his

Sorounded like Elodia here was much of a better catch as she could help hi care of a lot of orphans so there was no real push of getting any kids It looked like a good h their conversations were quite basic

“Hoere things at the store today?”

“It has slowed down lately but we are stillsome profits but you did spend a lot on those neind turbines… and those wall improvements… and those what do you call the after hearing Elodia listing all of his expenses Being that she was an accountant by class he gave her access to his expenses He had a bad habit of al whatever he had earned on new materials that he still had to use the black h the Dwarve union was unable to price gouge hi access to the merchants in a normal way This meant that he had to spend a bit more on those materials and the deliveries were also slower

His little fare brick wall The cactus turrets that he previously designed were spread out through this wall and pointing ned not to harm people that were just there to watch otherwise he would have a lot of dead custoht be a little bit in the red this h it eventually…”

Elodia just raised her eyebrow at hirabbed his plate that was licked clean and he could have sworn that he saw her s back into mom mode

“Wayland…”

She wanted to say so but at the last o to the orphanage I'll see you toet some sleep”

Luckily for him, Elodia was not the type to co she would tell hihout the day

“I always get enough sleep…”

He replied while also standing up, Elodia just rolled her eyes at hiain while he turned his head to the side After so, she made her way outside the house

“Hold on, I’ll walk you back to the city, it’s getting late”

It was after closing tiet for any stray er that cawith Korgak or anyone that replaced hier to either cook or hand hie That place was still her h to have all of those orphanson how et, he could place another building on the eht Before the city population exploded he did buy out the unused farmland around his house

This land was barren and the soil wasn’t really so that could be used for cultivation Instead, he could place a dorot enough gold coins to funnel into his ever-rising runic experih the weeks

“Agni can escort et any sleep yesterday, just look at your eyes”

Elodia shook her head while putting on her coat

“I’ like this doesn’t phasea bit to show off He wasn’t lying even though he didn’t look the greatest His body was young and healthy Sleep wasn’t so that he needed that much and he would be fine with three hours per day

“Stop that, you need to take better care of yourself one of these days you will collapse in that workshop of yours”

Elodia gruhtly and delivered a s

“I’ll be fine, I’m not a child”

“I wouldn’t be so sure about that…”

“Woof!”

Alni decided to finally show up The adult Mystical Ruby Wolf was quite large and see next to someone like Elodia that was a head shorter than Roland

“Okay, I’ll get soni’s head while narrowing her eyes at Roland as she didn’t know if she could trust those words

“Take care, call et ho Elodia moved a bit closer and looked up at Roland After a moment of silence, he realized what it was about and leaned his head down A little wet smooch was placed on his cheek but he also noticed her recoil slightly

“prickly”

“I guess I should shave”

He did tend to lose track of tih ti or short beards his new girlfriend clearly preferred when he was clean-shaven

Roland reni disappeared into the forest His taent and known around the city While they wouldn’t allow him to wander into it alone, they would not attack him out in the open

Roland crafted hi This was so that people could identify hi device and a tracker Agni had leveled up a bit in these years so there wouldn’t be many people that could beat hiht boost to his stats over human counterparts

‘Do I really look that tired?’

After Elodia left he examined his face in the mirror Maybe because he didn’t really spend that h his features he never really noticed the changes Elodia on the other hand apparently did, this fact was so someone that actually paid attention to hi that he was used to that much

‘I look fine…’

Even then he just shrugged as this was not the ti his next move that would fix all of his h the years he kept a close look at a certain spot in the dungeon Luckily for hiic aptitude was able to find the runic s that led to his next destination This was of course the cavern where he found the precious metals when his brother visited this city

That s that he needed to get ahead His wares were selling but he was certainly not the only ical smith in the city The dwarves, the auction house, and even the adventurers guild co enough to sustain his crippling crafting addiction this was slowly reaching a boiling point His level, knowledge, and skills were reaching a high enough level for him to take the next step and use more exotic resources
