Grinding Again?

(after a while) 

Door opening sound. (beep) (beep) 

Annie is busying doing something for him in the kitchen. 

Annie: "Denial, did you come home early. Did you bring what I asked for?" 

Denial: "Yes, a box of egg and some vegetables, right?" 

Annie: "Good, I am doing mushed potatoes for the main dishes. Would you help me?" 

Denial: "Wait, you are doing it wrong. You have to put a little flour and egg into the mashed mix, if you want to be sticky and nice texture. You can add spices if you want. You like "black pepper and tea leaves" right? 

Annie: "Oh, sorry. I want to cook but not good at cooking." 

Denial: "Alright then, you can rest. I will handle things here." 

Annie: "But I want to cook for you as well. Just let me cook tonight. Alright." 

Denial: (silence) 

Annie: "stare" 

Denial: "alright then." 

Denial: " I will take a shower and be in my room" 

In the room, 

Denial: "System - open inventory" 

System message - opening "Inventory" 

Inventory - lowest tier magi stones x34/ low tier magi stones x433/ mid-tier magi stones x130/ poison dagger(rare) x55/ hell's bone(rare) x86/ bone power(rare) x190/ metal block(rare) x210/ goblin meat(common) x254, goblin's blood(common)x 244, goblin's gold tooth(common)x 246, goblin command's hidden map(rare)x2. 

Denial: I just have to change them into actual cash. Although they are just dungeon drops. I might need at least a few days to sell them all. Let's post first.

Denial: I can use this diamond card for one week. It is very simple, what I need to do is I just have to enter the hunter's market website and joined my acc with my credit card or bank. Done. But I think, they said something like "The diamond card itself acts like an individual bank? right?" My user's account name? Let's named it as "Spicy Wasabi". The last thing is to put my blood on the diamond card. 

Denial: drop a drop of his blood on the diamond card. 

Diamond Card - "User confirmed. Please Name your acc? (Denial voice - Spicy Wasabi) Name - spicy wasabi had been confirmed. Diamond rank confirmed. User will be registered with this name in the hunter's market. Welcome to the hunter's market "Spicy Wasabi-Nim". Please put the items you wish to trade into this card. To use, say "collect" while touching the item and "register" for items specification.  User's acc balanced will be shown in this card both in USD and hunter's credit. To be able to see, please say "Balance" while holding the card for biometric scan." 

Denial: "Balance" 

Diamond Card(shine)

User's Name: Spicy Wasabi 

Account balance - 0 USD/ 0 GHC 

GHC - global hunter credit. 

On the computer screen, (typing sound) 

Denial: Let's first post something about selling the drop. And let's also check the exchange rate between GHC and USD,

Screen - Search result, global exchange - 1GHC =7.33 USD. 

I think after that, I have to collect the items into this diamond. Seem like they put the advance magi circle or some kind of transportation system. Furthermore, it is connected to the hunter's own individual's lunar system. I wonder how they do that. 

(typing sound) 

Spicy Wasabi(diamond) - Hello, I would like to sell some dungeon drops. Here is the link for the list. I have magi stones, and some (rare) dungeon drops. If interested, contact. 

List - lowest tier magi stones/ low tier/ mid-tier/poison dagger(rare)/hell's bone(rare)/bone power(rare)/goblin meat(common)/ goblin's blood(common)/ goblin's gold tooth(common).

Froggy(silver) - What do you sell? 

Pinky Toe(bronze) - Another scammer? 

Jungle Boot(gold) - I don't think so, it is a diamond rank seller. 

Uranium(gold) - Bro, what do you sell? 

Leafy Boy(silver) - Damn, it is really rare rank drop.

Pinky Toe(bronze) - Wait, it is real? I think it is scam. 

Uranium(gold) - What are you saying, pinky toe, see the specification on your card. 

Red flower(unknown) - What is this? A lot of dungeon drops. 

White lotus(unknown) - I guess, he is the manager of some famous hunter.

Red flower(unknown) - Yep. I am interested in buying mid-tier magi stones. 

White lotus(unknown) - I will just wait. Cuz I am not sure. 

Golden Dragon(unknown) - I am interested in rare(drop) but for now I will wait and see also. 

Uranium(gold) - Better buy fast, if the unknown rank ones really want to buy. We can't bid with them. 

... 

After a while at the dinner table: 

Annie: "Try it, I tried my best on this one." 

Denial: "(Mind) Wait, is this soup, the taste is blunt. I think she just put egg and vegetable without any seasoning. And the potato ball, there is nothing wrong with it, right. I told her how to do it after all. Wait, (take a bite) it is super salty." 

Annie: "So, how it is?" 

Denial: "It is .." 

Scutum: "My lord, (whisper)" 

Denial: "It is good. It is tasty. You also eat, Annie." 

Annie: "No, I prepared this specially for you. I already ate on my job. The portion is only enough for one of us, anyway. I know the real vegetable and egg are rise on the price lately. Not to say about meat, it is luxury for us." 

Denial: "Wait, you are not eating?" 

Annie: "Yep, so eat your full. I want to treat you something. But I am bad at cooking, but I tried my best on this one. Tasty right?" 

Denial: "Yes" (In mind - did you put the whole salt bag in the potato, or did you put salt instead of flour?" 

Annie: "Oh, then eat more. Here don't waste the food." 

Denial: Eating (forcefully) 

Scutum: "My lord, your blood pressure is going up really quickly. I will filter the salt percentage to the safe level. Don't worry." 

System Message - You have gained one status point in Detoxification. 

Denial: "finish eating" 

Annie: So, what I want to talk about is, I decided to retire from my hospital job, and just do part-time. 

Denial: Do you have any difficulty? 

Annie: I had been keeping quiet about it. But I was fired a long time ago. I just lied to you about it because I don't want you to worry about and do something crazy in the dungeon business. 

Denial: So, lately.

Annie: Yep, I have been freelancing part-time job as much as I can. Sorry that I tell you only right now. I was sure that you have lost your abilities after that hospital accident. But now, you have regained your memories, and I am sure that you regained the same you who protect me from the monsters back then. 

Annie: Even though, I am not sure how you are classified as Rank(F) hunter despite your abilities, I believe in you. "Stare" 

Denial: "Annie, that is" 

Annie: "I understand, you have your reason, as well. Right? I won't tell anyone about it, don't worry. I am sure that there are some other things that you want to do after you regained your memories because I remembered you asking about your family and sister last time." 

Denial: (silence) (in mind: family, huh? I was too focusing on getting stronger, I kind of overlook things a bit. I need to find the clue about my family. My sister right now is. (thinking)" 

Annie: Gloomy, (silence) 

Denial: Annie, thank you. But I give you my word, I won't break my promise. Don't worry about it. 

Annie: Alright. I know that you keep your words. But tell me if you need my help with anything. 

Denial: Alright. I will do the dishes. Thank you for the dinner, Annie. 

Annie: No need to say thank you, we are already a couple. I just want to see you eating it "deliciously". (gentle smile) 

Denial: Shock (Denial's had seen this kind of smile before, his mom used to smile like that while watching her family eating the dinner she cooked deliciously, it is just that it had been so long that he lost touch with the fact that there is someone who care about him in this ugly world) 

For Denial who went through a lot. That alone was enough. 

Denial: (silence) (smile) Thank you, Annie. It was really delicious. I really enjoy it. Your cooking is the best after my mom's. 

Annie: (eye's shine), (big smile) Happy to hear that. 

(later that night)

Uranium(gold) - Guys, don't get jealous. I bought all the magi stone from Spicy Wasabi, even the mid-tier ones. He is legit. 

Jelly Princess(gold) - Bullshit. 

Pinky Toe(bronze) - Not believing that. 

Jungle Boot(gold) - Bro, did you buy from him? Is he legit? 

Uranium(gold) - Yep, I bought all the magi stones. But drops are left. Firsthand, first served bro. 

Pinky Toe(bronze) - Wait, you are kidding right?

Uranium(gold) - I already said what need to be said. I am a businessman; I don't talk bullshit and waste my time. 

White lotus(unknown) - Damn, I kinda knew that. 

Red flower(unknown) - I am angry. He snatched all my magi stone. 

White lotus(unknown) - You said, you will wait. They are not even yours in the first place. You haven't bought them yet. 

Golden Dragon(unknown) - First hand, first serve guy. 

On that day, the name "Spicy Wasabi" had started to popular as an individual seller who sells a lot of magi stones of mid rank and rare dungeon drops.
