Chapter 935 Shopping All Kinds Of Materials
-----
After mother's decision, we ultimately ended agreeing. Some more willing than others, we understood the important purpose behind these, and we couldn't just reject the opportunity to become stronger and learn more about other people and the world around us.
Zack and Luck were especially excited about this, as they wanted to grow much stronger to probably catch up with us. Mist seemed slightly nervous about it, Lara was just as lax as ever, happy to just go along with the flow.
Aquarina had made a whole tantrum about it before but was now accepting it more easily. Celeste and Celica were okay with it, though Celica said she'll miss her mom, Celeste was fine with going anywhere, apparently.
And much like Celica said, I think I'll miss my mom too… I'll be there for about a year, and that's a lot of time for me! Some people can say whatever they want about elves living so long time feels very fast for them so years are like hours or seconds, but that's totally a lie, my perception of time is quite slow, as everyone else's perception, so a year feels like an eternity to me.
And that might extend to two years regarding Aquarina… A-Almost two years of not seeing her, it's freaking horrible! How can I live without her kisses and her hugs and her cuddles? I'm going to absolutely die.
But… I cannot show this part of my thoughts to my friends, even less Aquarina, or I'll make her doubt her resolve. I cannot do that, I need her to think everything is fine, and that I'm totally alright with her leaving and growing stronger than ever before.
As I said before, I just have to enjoy these last months before the end of the year, with her at my side, until the day of departure.
After breakfast we decided to go out and have some fun with all my friends, now that we were in the damn capital, we were going to enjoy it!
The entire city was many times larger than Agartha, filled with all sorts of beautiful places to visit, huge plazas, large markets, a gorgeous port area, countless of restaurants, and even magic artifacts used for entertainment are gathered in a single area which is called "amusement park", where both families and couples gather.
"So where should we go now?" I wondered, wandering around the streets close to the castle.
Grandpa and grandma decided to stay in the castle, as they usually make a big fuss whenever they step out, our parents decided to stay too, so we were on our own on this big, very big city.
Perhaps in the past my mother would had never considered this, but we were so strong they were sure we would be absolutely alright even if we were left stranded in the middle of the sea.
"I want to go to the port! I heard there's a lot of amazing products, spices, ores, weapons, armor, food, veggies, from all around the world!" Mist said. "I also heard there's a lot of demons that have just arrived bringing products. I want to see if we can talk…"contemporary romance
"So you want to know about them, huh?" Wondered Celeste. "I guess that's not a bad idea, all things considered… How about it?"
"Sure!" I said. "What about you, Celica?"
"Sounds interesting…" Celica said. "I want to find out how the people of the Demon Continent live…"
As Demons born in the Human Continent, they had no idea how the Demon Continent even was, and certainly, I had little idea how it was myself, so it was quite interesting to see the perspective of others.
"Alright then, let's go there, we can also pick up a bunch of items too." Zack agreed.
"I heard there's a few good restaurants over there, from mom." Aquarina said. "I want to go check them out once we get there! How about we eat once we're done?"
"Sounds good." Lara giggled. "Oh wow, there are a few Anima here and there!" She began running around the streets, glancing at all the people.
Although the vast majority were elves, there was also a great variety of tribes of all kinds, seeing so many living together like this really made us feel like we were in some sort of fantastical place.
Even back at home, non-elves were still very few…
"Hey Lara, don't go running away like that! Wait a bit!" Luck ran behind her, as we followed them into the port.
The sea waves and the salty wind of the sea quickly hut us like a truck, accompanied by the screams of many merchants trying to sell their products.
An immense variety of all kinds of sea creatures caught just this morning adorned most of the stalls, but then there were huge shops filled to the brim with all sorts of materials.
Ores and crystals I had never seen before were being sold, some cheaper than others. I ended going on a buying spree getting whatever I found interesting, for my future projects.
"Look at this Sylphy!" Lara suddenly ran towards me and showed me a huge rainbow-colored piece of crystal… but it was no normal crystal.
"Wait, is that a…?!" I muttered, checking the information.

[Rainbow Spirit Crystal (S Grade)]
A Unique Spirit Crystal grown within the depths of the Spirit Mountains at the southwest area of the Demon Continent. Grown after many eons of absorbing the spiritual energy of the Soul Crystals found underground, said to be the crystalized parts of the First Demon King, these curious-looking spirit stones contain multiple elements within them, giving them their beautiful color.
It is a top-notch material to create all sorts of magical equipment, be it weapons, armor, or accessories, and it can further enhance the power of Spirit Magic or Contracted Spirit Familiars if feed to them.
When imbued with Mana, the crystal will shine incredibly brightly, emanating the light of all the colors it contains on all directions, which might be able to distract or temporarily blind enemies.

"A-Amazing! A Rainbow Spirit Crystal?! It possess like six elements into one!" I was shocked I missed this. "You bought it, Lara?"
"Yeah, I spent all the money I brought; you can buy it for me… for a bit more!" She giggled mischievously.
"Ugh, you sure are cheeky… But alright, I'll pay!" I said.
She really got me there…
"Wait, is it alright though? You could benefit from it, I've read its information, if you feed it to your spirits, they might grow even stronger." I said, keeping a look at the rest of my friends and Aquarina, who were close by looking everywhere.
"I know but I also know you can make something even better out of it!" Lara said. "I kind of guessed what they could do once I grabbed it; the spirits were going crazy about it… But you gifted me that amazing scepter, which is already making my magic so strong, and that potion too, oh, and the system! You've done a lot! So I don't mind…"
"Yeah you sure don't mind, reselling it to me at even pricier price…" I said.
"Hehehe, sorry, but this is how I usually made money sometimes…" She giggled. "I'm trying to save money for when I grow up, so we can get a house with Luck!"
"Aw, that's cute. Okay, you convinced me, take my money." I laughed.
