My Beautiful Disciples, I’m really not the Main Character!Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Coastal City
….
The bright moon was casting a reflection over the Ocean that could be seen from the Coastal City of the Southern Continent.
Under the moonlit sky, a young man had entered the Coastal City, accompanied by a veiled woman.
Eren was immersed in the map, not paying attention to his surroundings. Fortunately, the city streets were almost empty at this time.
“We are finally here.”
It took him a few weeks, but he finally managed to reach the Coastal City which was his destination. The journey had been more troublesome than he initially expected.
Along the way, he had been careful to avoid catching any attention.
He did not want to make his presence known, at least not until he managed to kill the Sea Dragon and recover some of his memories.
This was the Hero’s Continent, which was under the control of the Mythical Hero Academy. He did not want to attract their attention.
All he knew was that he was a spy from the Hero Academy. He did not know how many people knew about his identity as a Spy.
He did not know how he was going to explain to Xiu Ying if he came across a person like that, and the secret was exposed. Hence, he avoided the more popular routes.
He avoided the most popular cities even if that meant he had to take a longer route. Unfortunately, the continent was too vast. Without the Phoenix, Eren soon realized how hard it was to reach the ocean side of this continent.
He had given up on the idea of not using the Phoenix only a few days after entering this continent. Xiu Ying had a powerful divine sense. With that, he was able to use the Phoenix occasionally.
Whenever he was not near the cities he used the Phoenix to travel. Most of the time, Xiu Ying was able to warn him long before they came across anyone.
Hence, the journey became much smoother. And after three weeks, he was finally in the Coastal City.
“According to the map, it’s not long before we reach the habitat of the Sea Dragon,” Eren commented and folded the Map. “We will rest in the city for a night.”
“I will check if there are any hotels nearby that have rooms.” Xiu Ying went to look for hotels that had rooms available.
“That girl is a little too considerate,” Eren watched Xiu Ying disappear. He could already see her intentions.
She did not want him to go from place to place, looking for rooms. She wanted him to have the best experience possible, even though this was also her first time here.
“Isn’t that right, Celeste?” He patted the tiny head of the fairy on his shoulder. “Shall we go look for some cake for you?”
He had not forgotten the promise to Celeste that he was going to get her something delicious to eat.
Even though it was the middle of the night, he was sure that some stores should be open in a commercial city like this.
He soon found a store that appeared to be open. He approached the store with Celeste.
He bought a cake inside the store and came out to find a secluded place for Celeste to eat.
Celeste was already looking at the Cake with greedy eyes, eager to eat. She appeared impatient.
“Don’t worry, I won’t steal it from you.”
Slam~
Eren was walking on the street to look for the best place to eat. Just as he found a place, he heard the sound of rushed footsteps coming from behind him.
“Hmm?”
He slowed down, but before he could turn, he felt push on his shoulder. Someone clashed with his shoulder, sending his cake flying. ƜѴᒪЕϺⱣҮᎡ.ϹⵔƜ
Eren also lost his balance, almost falling.
He tried to catch the cake, but he could not reach it in time. Right before his eyes, the cake fell flat on the street.
“You!” He turned around, furious.
As he looked back, he noticed that there was no one next to him. The person who hit him wasn’t waiting for him to apologize. Instead, the person was still running away.
From the person’s physique and clothes, he could see that it was a woman. She was running, but caring about anything else.
If he wasn’t certain that there was no one behind him, he might have thought that she was being chased by someone. But to him, she looked more like a reckless person only.
“Idiot, watch where you are going!” Eren called out.
As he finished scolding the girl, he noticed Celeste who was sitting next to the ruined cake.
Her eyes had already started getting wet, as if she was about to cry.
“Don’t worry. I will get you another one. I should have enough money.”
Eren picked up Celeste and turned back to the shop.
When he came here, he did not have the currency of this world. But along the way, he had managed to gather some.
“Instead of one, I will get you two. Happy?” he placed Celeste on his shoulder. But as he was about to walk back, he saw a system screen appear before him.
“I was wondering why this thing hadn’t appeared for so long.”
Eren looked at the familiar screen that had four options present.
……
Option One: Go after the woman.
Reward: Cultivation +1
Option Two: Go to the Shop.
Reward: Escape Talisman
Option Three: Wait here for Xiu Ying.
Rewards: Question Voucher
Option Four: Leave the City.
Reward: Luck +1
“This time, it is too vague for some reason. Go after that woman? Is it asking me to have revenge for the cake? That seems too excessive.”
He quickly rejected the first option.
He wanted to complete the second option as he had promised Celeste, but he was almost drooling at the reward for the third option.
A Question Voucher was the most useful reward he ever had. With this, he was able to meet the person who was the Writer according to him.
He wasn’t sure if he could talk to him again, but he knew the value of the Question Voucher in this world.
