Chapter 6: Arc I – Chapter 5: Damsel in distress?

Seeing that Ophilia was speechless, Sian said, “I know, you are surprised, right? Here there is even a thing called spreadsheet, which helps you organize your earnings and expenses, it even has some special remarks for you to know how and where to invest in your business. Not to mention a lot of strange but delicious recipes, and all this cost me just 50 gold coins. ”

 Upon hearing his words, Ophilia's shock was so great that she almost stumbled, “I-Is this pile of paper really worth all this? Are you sure you weren’t fooled? ”

"Of course it’s worth it, at the beginning I was just as skeptical as you are." Sian spoke excitedly, “But who could imagine that in this book there are so many different food recipes, in addition to several other strange things, such as tips for using in bed, some special toys, exotic clothes and some other things of questionable aspects, but which are still very interesting.”

As his voice was very loud, it attracted the attention of passersby.

Oblivious to the glances, Sian continued, “And all of this is contained in the 'Sacred treasure that can change the life of anyone who has it in hands', but as the name is too big, I shortened it to 'Sacred treasure'.”

Ophilia's beautiful face was red as a tomato because of the glances, it looked like she was going to look for a place to stick her head at any moment.

'So beautiful…'

At that moment, Sian did something that probably nobody would have expected could happen, he stopped suddenly in front of Ophilia, knelt on one knee, reached out to her and said, "Ophilia, do you want to marry me?"

Ophilia's face was astonished, without understanding the situation.

'Shit, this is not like the calm me, I ended up getting carried away by the moment again.'

'But that flushed and confused face is also divinely beautiful...'

'As expected from the session 'How to win the love of your life', from the Sacred treasure, she was even speechless.'

With such a flashy scene happening publicly, the people around began to whisper, but because of his good hearing, these whispers did not escape from Sian.

"It’s good to see the young people full of energy."

"But it is strange to see this boy in tattered clothes courting such a refined woman."

'Hey hey, it's not a tattered clothes, it's just the mantle that is a little worn.'

"Now that you mention it, it seems a little out of place, with this mantle all patched up, it must be some beggar asking for food."

"He must be trying to take advantage of his good looks to win this woman's favor."

‘...’

The murmurs continued to increase more and more.

Under the curious eyes of the people, Ophilia could no longer bear the shame. She grabbed Sian's outstretched hand and ran, running as fast as she could from the main street, into an alley that had few people.

After they stopped running, she looked at him with an expression that could only be described as disbelief.

After facing him a bit, she finally said, “You get very excited when you talk about this book... And that confes- ”

“*Cof cof cof *” Interrupting her, Sian said, “You don't have to think about it now, and about the book, I let myself be carried away by the moment. The things contained in it may seem strange, but they really worth the 50 gold coins, no, they certainly worth more than that. But leaving the book aside, let's see if there are any stalls selling food nearby, I'm starving. ”

That said, they continued walking through the alley that Ophilia had dragged them over.

“I find it difficult to find a stall or any place that sells food at this time of the morning, after all this city is quite small, I think it must have a little more than five thousand inhabitants and generally only the rich and noble eat a meal in the morning.

Around noon there are some stalls that open, but they are a little expensive for normal people, since they aim for merchants and travelers.”

"Ehh... I had forgotten about that, I think I spent a lot of time without having contact with normal people." Sian pondered before continuing, "But for these people to skip the most important meal of the day, it’s really a shame..."

"The most important meal?" Ophilia asked doubtfully.

“Yes, it is written in the section 'How to take good care of your body' from the Sacred Treasure, it says that when we wake up, our body is thirsty for nutrients and that is why we need to have a reinforced breakfast to have energy and vitality for the whole day. ” Sian spoke in a confident tone.

“What are these nutrients? Is it some kind of food? ”

"Err ... I don't know?"

With those words, Ophilia gave him a pitying look.

 "Don't look at me like that, I really wasn't fooled, there are several words here that I don't understand, but the things taught here are true."

Sian reaches into the small bag he has around his waist, takes something out and hands it to Ophilia, “Look at this soap, it serves perfectly as an example that I'm telling the truth, it may seem, but this is not an ordinary soap made from ashes, just smell it and you will see the difference. ”

After sniffing the soap, Ophilia's eyes widened, "It has a very pleasant smell of flowers, it looks even better than what nobles use."

“That's what I'm talking about,” Sian said with a proud tone, “In the book there was a simple recipe and a note talking about a lot of reactions of this with that to turn it into that, I didn't understand anything about this reaction thing, but following the recipe, I got this masterpiece. ”

"I think I'm starting to believe it a little..."

“There are a lot of other things the book teaches you to do, like a flavored candle, glass, mirror and best of all,” He continued excitedly, “Food! It has several types of different sauces like ketchup, mayonnaise, barbecue sauce- kulhum- Anyway, I think this book is really a treasure.”

"Who was the person who sold the book?"

“I met him by chance, he was a guy with black hair and slanted eyes. I think his name was… Hmm… Danamo… Tanano… Tamamo, I think that was it, Tamamo Hisashi or at least something like that, he was so happy when he received the money that he started shouting some incomprehensible words. ”

"Incomprehensible?"

"Yes, it was something like 'Yatta something something haremu something mashita', even after the gods have unified the language of the world, there still seem to be some tribes with their own language."

"But with a book full of so many ideas, why didn't he use them to earn money?" Ophilia asked, pressing her fingers on her chin.

'So beautiful…'

“Kulhum”

'I think I'm beyond salvation...'

“Who knows… He probably needed some money to get started, after all he looked very weak.

Probably he must have lowered the starting price after a few failed attempts to sell the book, I almost didn't buy it, but he did an advertisement, showing a lot of interesting things.

He said that this book was a compilation of some things that he had found in a ruin of ancient times. ”

"From the time before the Calamity happened?!!" She asked in surprise.

"Yes, but that must be a lie."

"Why do you think that?"

“If you stop to think clearly, it is obvious that it was a lie, since the calamity happened more than 100 thousand years ago and it was said that in the war, even the Gods participated.

It’s said that the proportion of the war was so great that it changed the geography of the world, apparently before there was only one great continent called Pangeia, but after the Calamity, it became 6.

With a war of this magnitude, it seems impossible to leave any place intact and also, even 100 thousand years later, nothing of the time before the calamity has been found yet.

 

For something like this to appear now it is very suspicious, especially when it was someone so weak and unknown that says to have found it.”

"I think it's possible that he didn't know that, I also didn't know that there was only one continent before." Ophilia said.

“Well, few people know that, even among the nobles, after all, thousands of years have passed, a lot of information is lost over time.”

"So how do you know that?"

"I had a good teacher, although she is a little strict."

"That along with the fact that you use magic... Are you from a noble family?"

"Not even by far, I'm just an orphan who had a bit of luck and talent. Anyway, it doesn't matter if he lied or not, it makes no difference to me." Sian said carefreely.

As they continued walking through the alley, they saw an unexpected scene.

'Isn't that the event of the legendary damsel in distress?!'
