Chapter 129: Flowing Water
The matters within the store were extremely quickly settled. Buying a few materials utilized for classes here was still insufficient. Fisher additionally needed to go outside purchasing a few materials he himself wanted to use. Perfect coincidence that the public funds still possessed leftovers; therefore simply exactly utilizing public funds for personal gains, incidentally also able to advance the expenses for the round-trip horse carriage fares, achieving the objective of completely utilizing the university public funds.
But due to setting off at nearly ten o'clock in the morning, presently it was also roughly arriving at noon. Fisher determined to bring Jasmine to first eat a serving of lunch prior to contuining strolling around. Actually this market additionally possessed a basement level one, however the things sold there then lacked exceedingly many ways to enter Jasmine's eyes; the vast majority were entirely slaves and stolen goods. Fisher possessed no ideas of going.
"Red stone powder is primarily utilized acting as carvings for flame magics. However it is perfectly converse compared to the magic knowledges you studied previously: it isn't utilized to enhance magic efficacy, but rather acting to weaken magic efficacy."
"Eh, weaken?"
"Un, because the effects of flame magics normally entirely would far exceed the requirements of human usages, conversely adding exceedingly many inconveniences for usage. Therefore at this time it precisely requires adding red stone powder to isolate the intensity of the resonance, making its reactions not that intense."
Jasmine hugged a full brim-bearing load of magic materials, both eyes glowing bright listening to Fisher explain the knowledges of magic, wholeheartedly and deeply immersed within the world of magic; entirely failing to discover Fisher was currently exactly taking her acting as a free-of-charge transportation labor force, delightfully and cheerfully hugging the quite heavy materials following Fisher.
However she looked to possess quite not-bad physical stamina. Hugging these things she fundamentally lacked a single bit of reactions, very easily.
"Alright, classes roughly arrive right here. We ought to find a spot to eat lunch. This meal is treated by me, what do you want to eat a bit of?"
"Eh... as for eating what."
The moment she thought of being treated to a meal by Fisher she precisely was somewhat embarrassed. But upon her body indeed lacked surplus money; the properties and objects at home still hadn't been sent onshore yet. Presently every single day her merely eating meals was extremely forced; still relying on the financial aid from the first half of the semester to maintain livelihood.Moreover, she also indeed immensely wanted to taste the delicious fine foods of humans...
Jasmine swallowed a mouthful of saliva, beginning to size up the surrounding restaurants. And then strugglingly utilizing her fingers hugging the materials pointing at three or four stores selling fine foods.
Fisher twisted his head looking at her right when she pointed at the third store, asking,
"Wait a moment, are you currently picking and selecting or do you want to eat them all?"
"All... want to eat them all, is it okay, Professor?"
"..."
Jasmine pursed her lips, extremely embarrassed. Her tiny face also grew flush and rosy... if she hadn't swallowed saliva then that hint of embarrassed meaning ought to have been even more distinct right?
Fisher could solely bring her consecutively visiting these several stores. Two were making formal meals, one was making desserts. However the food sold amidst the market were fundamentally no formal restaurants; exactly directly enjoying them right by the street sides. The desserts and cakes of the latter actually surprisingly were wrapped utilizing leaves when sold.
Jasmine placed the magic materials right upon the table beside, looking at dish after dish of food being placed upon the dining table with both eyes glowing bright. She subconsciously praised aloud in her heart, wanting to thank the great Lord Ramastia. The hands upon her arms also slowly joined together. But extremely quickly the gentlemanly gaze before her eyes looking over made her flusteredly change a hand gesture.
"Are you currently praying?"
"N-no! I-I am exactly currently thanking..."
Wait a moment, what was the god of humans called again? All at once unable to recall...
Jasmine opened her mouth; her complexion growing increasingly red. Her hands also placed directly before her own chest. And then looking toward Fisher, whispering continuing to explain saying, "I am exactly currently thanking... thanking the Professor Fisher... gifting me food..."
Fisher blanked slightly, subsequently laughing saying,
"This is merely a tiny matter, no need to be grand and formal exactly like this. Moreover acting as my teaching assistant naturally possesses a few extra bonus benefits. Later on when you are right in the university I can also frequently treat you to meals."
"For real!"
Jasmine delightedly said exactly like so. Fisher truly hadn't clarified exactly why she was actually delighted like this regarding a simple matter. Could it be precisely because ocean demi-human races hadn't quite excessively attempted the food of humans before?
This was also no wonder. Inside the sea lacked ways to produce fire; how did they manufacture food? Cooked food looked to be not quite possible; then precisely eating it raw?
Fisher simultaneously pondering, looking at that Jasmine delighted until currently already beginning to whisper humming songs, within his heart suddenly surged up a kind of exceedingly ominous premonition; perfectly as if exactly possessing some terrifying thing targeting him exactly like that.
Extremely quickly, this premonition then turned into reality. That terrifying thing also indeed existed. Merely it didn't target him, but rather targeted that extremely pitiful wallet of his.
Food was extremely quickly served completely. Merely the speed of consumption was truly excessively too fast, fundamentally a single bit unable to keep up with the speed at which she ate. Those plates piled exceedingly high right before her eyes. This was still the result of Fisher seeing it being insufficient letting the store additionally add three more times.
The fourth time, Fisher then didn't let the people of the store add anymore. However according to Fisher's guesses, even if adding she still possessed methods to finish eating.
Jasmine sucked clean the soup juices within the plate. And then raising her head with a slightly flush face, exactly right matching onto the Fisher before her eyes currently observing herself. She embarrassedly shifted her gaze away, yet exactly right shifting her gaze onto that pile of plates right beside.
"A-apologies, Professor Fisher, I..."
She pursed her lips, seemingly for the sake of expressing the apologies of herself eating too much, she could solely whisper saying, "Otherwise, the subsequent stores then no need to go eat anymore..."
"..."
Fisher silently looked toward that lower abdomen of hers entirely lacking any single bit of changes. After remaining speechless for a long while he only then stretched his hand calling the store clerk over paying the bill.
Previously he took the vast majority of cash giving them to Eliog bringing away. Right now eating a single meal then precisely ate a few hundred Narios of his; eating a few more meals, estimating he precisely would revert to the absolute poverty state from when just recently returning to Saint-Nazareth.
The fangs and claws of poverty anew spread upon his body, making him shivering with fear.
Jasmine conversely anew hugged that massive large pile of magic materials. This time because of being not quite embarrassed, she quietly utilized the bags of magic materials blocking a portion of her own face. But after seeing Professor Fisher hadn't haggled and minded, she only then precisely somewhat embarrassedly let out a breath of air.
During times right before schoolmates, because of lacking money and caring about image, she ordinarily entirely ate exactly a single portion of fullness. Unknown precisely why after Professor Fisher spoke out "he treats" she then precisely somewhat uncontrollably ate a bit more.
Right when they had exactly just prepared continuing to stroll around the remaining magic market, that short-haired girl called Meg seen before previously again appeared right in front of them.
She tucked her pockets, upon her body wearing that set of cooling and refreshing clothes leaning beside the street, her gaze continuously peeking toward this side of Fisher. After Fisher finished eating lunch, she hesitated for half a day slowly walking over,
"Fisher..."
She bore an appearance of possessing unspeakable difficulties, extremely embarrassed.
"Meg, seeking me possesses any matters?"
Meg was somewhat difficult to open her teeth and mouth. After looking toward that Jasmine hugging magic materials right nearby, she only then bit her teeth, evading her gaze saying,
"I heard you recently are currently researching... demi-human races, right? I possess a bit of intel regarding demi-human races here, the kind coming from within the sea, other people entirely haven't seen them before. I can sell this piece of intel to you..."
Fisher nevertheless didn't pick up her conversational topic. Looking at this immature and tender young girl before his eyes, only after getting close did he then precisely discover upon her face painted a layer of light makeup and eyeshadow; looking quite unfamiliar.
Several seconds passing, Fisher suddenly said,
"You extremely lack money?"
"...Un." Meg was silent for a good while, and then whispering responding saying,
"My boyfriend took a few medicines to use from a gang; possessing a portion that was borrowed. Now lacking methods to return it. He hid away; those people then came looking for me."
Fisher almost wasn't amused to laughter by Meg's stupidity. He fundamentally hadn't anticipated that petite and diminutive silent girl from before currently would precisely turn into like this. However looking from Gina's personality, she fundamentally wasn't adept at educating. You entirely couldn't count on that female hooligan clasping a cigarette possessing explosive tempers raising out a qualified Nazarene Lady.
"You used those medicines?"
"N-no! I don't dare..."
Seeing her appearance of flusteredly making explanations, Fisher conversely let out a sigh of relief. But upon his face nevertheless was perfectly unchanged exactly that appearance cold reaching the absolute extreme. He wrinkled his eyebrows,
"That was the medicine used by that person, concerning you what matters?"
"If not returning the money, that gang will go harass my mom's store every single day. They say today if still not returning the money they will precisely go to my mom's store doorway blocking me..."
"And then you exactly stupidly go back looking for your mom asking for money going to help that medicine-addicted boyfriend of yours return the money?"
Fisher entirely hadn't even waited for Meg to finish her words then exactly interrupted her. And then coldly laughing exactly like so raising a rhetorical question.
"But, they are people of the gangs. Their people are exceedingly numerous... They... they came, they are exactly currently searching for me!"
Meg right at the start still wanted to explain. Explaining and explaining, unknown what she suddenly saw, her expression precisely turned exceptionally flustered. Twisting her head then wanting to escape, yet was precisely grabbed right on the collar by the Fisher possessing a face of indifference, making her halt right at the original spot.
"What are you doing... Fisher, you let me go!"
That hand of Fisher exactly like an iron pincer locked onto her collar, making her no matter how she struggled fundamentally unable to leave. He simultaneously turned his head looking toward the other side of the street. Over there existed a good several youths of Naris clasping cigarettes, undoing the buttons upon their collars, frivolously and slovenly looking at the commercial goods by the roadside and also the asses of passing ladies.
Merely this single glance, Fisher then perfectly understood. Where were this whatever gang members; exactly a group of young hooligans possessing nothing to do completely.
Within the gazes of the hooligans continuously searching the surroundings, they extremely quickly then discovered the Meg seized by Fisher.
"Boss, you quickly look, it's exactly that stinky bitch!"
"Heh, she absolutely failed to possess money going to steal that gentleman's wallet being caught..."
"I look at her like she lacks money replacing Tom returning the money. Do we want to go seek her old mom?"
"Seek my ass ah, lacking money using other things precisely won't do?"
Several hooligans simultaneously evilly smiling simultaneously walking toward this side. Their expressions constantly scanning across upon Meg's body. But extremely quickly they then discovered the Jasmine standing beside Fisher. Jasmine's that proud body figure instantly made the several hooligans look entirely dazed.
Perhaps that strand of malicious intents was too exceptionally distinct. Jasmine also raised her head looking toward them, gently wrinkling her eyebrows.
Right at places Fisher fundamentally possessed no ways to detect, within her pupils seemingly existed uncountable streams of water exactly currently surging perfectly like that. That stream of water rippled with a blue-colored flowing light completely filled with vitality. But right concurrently with seeing those several hooligans, that stream of water utterly overflowing with vitality slowly dyed traces of black completely like ink.
But at this time, that cold-faced gentleman grabbing onto Meg blocked right in front of her, isolating the lines of sight of those several tiny hooligans.
"Let me go! Fisher!"
Jasmine secretly cast a glance at Fisher, and also that unceasingly struggling Meg gripped by him.
"You all are precisely the creditors of Meg? She says you all are mixing in the gangs; exactly what gang's speak it out to hear a bit?"
Hearing Fisher opening his mouth one step ahead, the several young hooligans exchanged glances. It was still that brat acting as the leader who stood out, patting his own chest, saying,
"We are people of the Centipede Gang of the Third Street. Warning you a single sentence, do not meddle in others' business. This is the matters between us and that bitch. You blabber additionally I will precisely..."
He still wanted to speak. Fisher stretched out his left hand directly viciously and ferociously slapping right onto his face. That massive strength spread from his face to his body, bringing him rotating a full circle amidst midair before utterly planting downwards onto the ground. Several teeth also detached from the imprisonments of the gums, accompanying fresh blood flying out exceedingly far exceedingly far. He crawled prostrating right upon the ground; the entire world was entirely filled with golden stars and tinnitus. Temporarily completely hadn't realized exactly what occurred.
Solely the several young hooligans behind his back turning pale gazing toward Fisher possessing a slightly cold complexion, an appearance of having been entirely terrified.
Fisher early on precisely saw it through entirely. These several young kids fundamentally weren't whatever members of the black gangs. Previously when he assisted the police handling cases at the police station, the black gangs of Naris were entirely recognized completely by him for a whole round.
These several kids completely understood absolutely nothing. Merely relying upon youth clumsily and poorly studying the survival methods of the black gangs.
Even if Fisher didn't make a move, estimating not long passing the genuine black gangs would then precisely come out cleaning up these several tiny lackeys wreaking havoc and committing atrocities.
"Listen up, Meg and that bastard who exactly smoked too much running away entirely possesses not a single bit of relationship. For every injustice there is a perpetrator, for every debt there is a debtor. You all again daring to come over wreaking havoc and committing atrocities, I precisely will dismember off all four limbs of yours selling them to the pigs of the farms acting as feed."
"Scram right, you bastard quickly run!"
Fisher's words fell downwards. Those several tiny youths right behind entirely lacked a single bit of introspective meanings. Merely exceedingly panickingly twisting heads then precisely ran; entirely lacking a single bit of ideas wanting to care for that brother beaten onto the ground.
Exactly as Fisher precisely guessed exactly like so, they fundamentally entirely weren't genuine black gangs. They even entirely wouldn't dare to go seek Meg's mother Gina. Also solely this kind of untested absolute idiot of worldly affairs like Meg would precisely be frightened by them... Words again spoken back, if she wasn't idiotic she then wouldn't exactly replace that boyfriend who smoked too much medicines running away silly-foolishly returning money.
Those several tiny hooligans panicked failing to choose their paths turning heads precisely running. Yet fundamentally completely hadn't realized people behind were extremely numerous. A merchant pushing a tiny cart fully loaded with commercial goods directly crashed onto them exactly currently escaping. That merchant was selling pets. Upon the cart were entirely cages utterly loaded with all kinds of completely diverse small animals.
Passing a single echoing sound, those cages responding to the sound precisely toppled over. The massive cart tipped onto the side departing away, crushing and rolling upon the cages.
"Oh! You bunch of damned ones! My goods! No!"
"Meow~"
"Woof!"
The merchant let out shouts of heartache. Quite a few cages were crushed malfunctioning right at the original spot. Extremely many little kitties and little doggies escaped scurrying out. Naturally there existed also a few possessing lacking luck.
Within Jasmine's line of sight, a single kitty wanting to escape precisely had its body utterly crushed by the cart toppling down directly matching its face. Entering air much departing air lacking; it breathed forcefully exactly like struggling but no matter what extremely lacked methods to obstruct the departure of its life. Its body seemingly was crushed broken by that excessively heavy cart. Therefore could solely utilize pitiful gazes staring right at the Jasmine before its eyes.
Surroundings people came and people went. Jasmine cast a glance at the surroundings. Hesitating for a moment biting her teeth, quietly stretching out a single finger aiming at the kitty before her eyes. Right at this very instant, that stream of blue water within her pupils perfectly exactly as if turning distinctly alive exactly like that, emitting out a tiny bit of fluorescent lights. And that trace of black-colored water also unkowingly at what time had already completely utterly receded away.
Glisteningly crystalline water streams exactly exactly like flowing circulating within both eyes of Jasmine. Beneath Jasmine's fingers, the breathing of that single kitty grew increasingly serene and peaceful; perfectly exactly as if anew bestowed with vitality by some sort of shapeless and formless strength exactly like that. Passing one or two seconds later, that kitty originally entirely supposed to lose its life exactly extremely slowly stood its body up, giving a lick right at Jasmine's fingers.
"Meow~"
"Oh, Mother Goddess, previously I saw exactly a kitty crushed beneath, that was precisely my Schwari breed cat! Value of several thousand Narios!"
"It... it is perfectly fine, it is still precisely alive."
Hearing the voice of the boss, she hurriedly withdrew her fingers sizing up the surroundings a bit. Upon confirming lacking anyone having noticed her tiny actions afterwards, she let out a breath of air. Standing her body up addressing the boss exactly like so speaking.
"Meow~"
"Oh, Mother Goddess, darling, you are perfectly still alive. This is truly too overwhelmingly good!"
That boss delighted beyond measure precisely exactly ran over, hugging that small kitty fundamentally lacking a single trace of being injured. Both kissing and hugging right towards it, "Why do you fundamentally lack a single bit of traces of being injured? I previously heard the bodies of kitties are entirely produced utilizing water; therefore you precisely are exactly lucky exactly like this is it right?"
Jasmine covered her mouth lightly bubbling into laughter. Anew hugging the magic materials returning directly beside Fisher.
Extremely fortunate, Professor Fisher previously hadn't seen her own actions.
Jasmine secretly looked toward Fisher; seeing him possessing absolutely no other reactions afterwards precisely letting out a breath of air.
Unknown to her entirely, Fisher previously observed completely witnessing her tiny actions for the entire journey. He even exactly utilized his body helping her completely obstructing the lines of sights of the store boss and passersby.
But right now wasn't the time to nitpick this. He twisted his head coldly looking toward the young girl with short hair, Meg, standing directly behind. Opening his mouth possessing a sunken voice saying,
"Meg."
"..."
Hearing Fisher's words, Meg drooping her head precisely walked over, silently entirely not uttering a single word.
"If I completely didn't know your mother I perfectly wouldn't care regarding these ruined and broken affairs of yours. But I still exactly harbor hopes you are precisely able to comprehend you exactly being swindled and deceived and also frightened by these incredibly lowly wretches is exactly because of what? Also exactly harboring hopes you precisely are able to properly properly properly recognize exactly these people you ordinarily interact with right beside you recently, distinguishing exactly determining who exactly is truly treating you well in the end."
"...Yes."
Fisher organized his own sleeves precisely exactly no longer continuing to care about her. Bringing Jasmine then precisely preparing to leave. Who could have anticipated the Meg behind his back precisely exactly suddenly opened her mouth shouting to stop Fisher.
"Fisher! Wait a moment..."
Fisher twisted his head looking toward her, yet precisely saw her staring exactly at himself saying,
"Previously spoken matters regarding ocean demi-humans aren't exactly completely for the sake of deceiving your money. I precisely truly possess intel surrounding this aspect; but I also precisely entirely cannot be certain whether it is exactly true or genuine..."
Hearing Meg's words, Jasmine's ears exactly erected up. An appearance of an incredibly nervous bearing. Recurrently confirming for a third time exactly whether she herself possessed instances of exactly bumping into this human girl previously when exiting the university; but again precisely entirely uncertain exactly reaching the absolute end precisely exactly whether having seen her or not. Therefore precisely exactly quietly leaned over exploring and eavesdropping for news.
"...Speak it out to hear a bit."
Fisher precisely glimpsed a single glance exactly at the absolute certainty within her eyes. Sluggishly passing one second of silence subsequently saying precisely exactly like so.
