Suddely Became A Child's

"Huh."
Rein rubbed his face.
'It's good to forget, that I don't have much money right now'
Rein stood up and looked around the forest area where he was. An idea came to his mind.
"Croft."
[Yes Master. ]
"Does this forest have herbs, poisons, and fruits?"
Rein asked with anticipation. He intended to make a medicine and then sell it when he reached the nearest city. Moreover, he still had the protection of Croft's superior, for which he had to seize the opportunity before his eyes.
[There is a Master. Everything you mentioned was in this forest. ]
Rein smiled faintly.
[Master, do you want to make something out of those three things and then sell it in the city? ]
"What do you think?"
[That's cool Master, I can show you their location. And you can collect as much of it as possible and then keep it in inventory. ]
"Good, show me the way."
[Good Master. ]
Croft floated forward to lead the way and was followed by Rein at the back. The two of them started collecting herbs, poisons, and fruits that were in the forest.
Rein occasionally eats the fruit to know the taste and quality of the fruit. And since Rein had the lowest level of poison resistance, so Rein asked Croft for help to retrieve it using 100 points.
Croft says that his job is only to provide information and protect Rein from harm, besides that Rein has to pay for it with points. For an easy task 100 points, medium 500 points, and difficult 1000 points.
Rein nodded in agreement. Because he thinks nothing is free in this world.
After feeling enough, Rein began his journey to the nearest town.
The city of Edelweis, the central city of the Crimson Duke's territory. Like the central city in general, this city is filled with many residents from inside and outside the city because this city is a trading center of various regions.
It happened because the first son of the Crimson Duke and his personal knight, as well as the residence knight of the Crimson Duke had always carried out the daily extermination of monsters that made the region safe to inhabit and trade there.
Rein gave the identity cards to the city guards.
"You can come in."
Rein put the identity card back in his pocket, and walked into the city of Edelweis.
[Master, the city is filled with many people. ]
"true."
Rein nodded in agreement.
Croft floated over Rein's head and landed there.
[Master, you can talk to me through the mind. I don't want you to be considered crazy because they can't see me. ]
'All right'
Rein smiled faintly. For a moment he thought that Croft had a human heart, not what he thought it was.
[Master, where are we going? ]
'Let's eat first'
[What about chicken skewers? There are people who sell 5 skewered chickens for 1 silver coin. ]
'Show me the way'
[Okay, follow me Master. ]
Rein follows a ball of light that leads to a skewer chicken vendor. Previously, he had already exchanged 1000 points to 10 silver coins while on the way.
Rein bought 10 skewered chickens, then walked into the shade to eat them.
"What do you think Croft?"
Rein asked, as he had already asked Croft to look for trade-related information in the city of Edelweis.
[There are 3 main points that are most in demand and in search. ]
"Explain."
Rein said casually. There's no one around him, and it's too noisy here that no one will notice that he's talking to himself.
[First, beauty products. Most women who often buy these products to beautify their appearance.
Second, food. I think food is a necessity, that's why places that sell food are never empty.
Third, medicine. Because the world has monsters in every region, medicine is a necessity. ]
"Hm."
Rein contemplating. He already thought about what products he would make to sell. But ... He has one problem, money.
"Geez, why is life so hard? I'm free now, but I need to work hard to survive."
Rein smiled bitterly after saying the grievances weighing down on his mind.
Croft was silent at Rein's complaining voice, but he spoke immediately when he saw two robed men approaching him.
[Master, there are two robed people walking closer to where you are. But, take it easy I did not feel any danger from those two people. ]
Rein turned to look at the two people Croft was referring to, after which he continued to ponder ways to make a lot of money.
"Excuse me, can we sit here?"
"Please sir."
Rein replied nonchalantly. After all this was not his place so he had to ban people who wanted to sit down.
"Thank you."
One of the two robed men sat not far from Rein, while the other stood behind the person.
[Master, it looks like the person sitting down is rich. Because his robe looks expensive. ]
Rein did not respond to Croft's statement. He was busy thinking of ways to make money from the capital he currently had.
[Master, how about we rob that guy? ]
"Uhuk uhuk."
Rein chokes a chicken prick when he hears misguided advice from Croft.
[Master, are you okay? ]
"Son, are you okay?"
Croft and the cloaked person sitting close to Rein asked simultaneously.
"Uhukk."
Rein coughed trying to pull out the pierced chicken stuck in his throat.
The robed man who was close to Rein, helped pat her on the shoulder until a small-sized pierced chicken came out and made Rein breathe a sigh of relief.
"Thank you."
Rein thanked the robed men for helping him pull out the pierced chicken stuck in his throat.
"No problem."
There was a deep and cold voice coming from the cloaked man.
Rein guessed that the person behind the cloak was a man.
[Master, are you okay? ]
"Bas crazy, I'm not gonna rob."
Rein said with a wit.
[Master, there's still someone beside you. ]
Rein paused for a moment, then turned to the side and said firmly.
"Think you didn't hear anything."
"certain."
Rein nodded in satisfaction hearing the answer from the cloaked man. Then he saw a chicken skewer that still has 4 more stitches.
'Should I spend it?'
Rein decided to finish the chicken.
[Master, I'm sorry. ]
'It's okay. Next time, if you want to suggest something make sure we have a chance to win.'
[I understand Master. ]
Rein did not blame Croft for his idea. It's just that the risk of doing so is too much and there are too many loopholes to be caught.
Rein didn't want to take a risk that he didn't have a chance of winning.
"After all, I just escaped from the slave market. So, I don't want to be cooped up anymore."
Rein mumbled quietly.
Unknown to Rein, the two robed men heard the mutterings and Rein's words as they came to him.
The man who sat close to Rein, gestured at the person behind him. The person behind moved and was behind Rein.
Not to forget that the person installed soundproof magic and barriers that made them invisible to others.
"Son, can we talk?"
'Oh my God, let me eat in peace.'
