Road regarded most of the overlord's antics with an annoyed look. She sighed deeply "While this is idiotic, If you must know, there are points of weird demonic energy portal things that seem to correspond to minion type scattered seemingly randomly around. I assume that that is where you will find more minions... as you call them." The town wasn't that well defended, though his minions had trouble climbing the sheer cliff faces that dotted the town. The townspeople put up a valiant defense with their pointy wooden sticks. It is clear that they generally have no conflict in this area. As soon as he gets to the town leader he dies on the spot of shock. "I guess that makes you the new defecto town leader, this whole fight has been kinda sad, you didn't even lose a minion."<br/><br/>_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br/><br/>Both SOF And Kurisu didn't say a thing to the Jirachi. They both had this same uncomfortable look on their faces. SOF snickered At Kurisu after a brief glance. "WHAT!? She glared daggers at him<br/>He just smiled "You seemed to be thinking what i was."<br/>"And what were you thinking?" she squinted.<br/>"Just about how weird everything is... and how certain internet websites would depict a human jirachi."<br/>She grimaces and a thin blush appears on her face "I have no idea what you are talking about." She then stomped off into the tavern and SOF quickly followed "Wait what about money?" his words fell on deaf ears as she just walked up to the counter "What currency do you accept here?" Her eyes were a bit scary but the guy just said "Standard coin or raw material if we can bargain."<br/>SOF caught up to her and pulled her away which earned him a glare and a slap.<br/>She huffed "What are you doing?"<br/>"We aren't going to barter with our valuable like a phone for food... i have a better way of doing that." he rolled his auto mail arm "Do you have any paper?"<br/>"just receipts? why?" she looked suspicious<br/>"Just get them out!" SOF says firmly to which she quickly spreads them on a table "In atomic structure how different is paper to gold?"<br/>She blinks "A lot... do you want specifics that might take a while."<br/>SOF nodded "Be as colorful as possible so i can visualize is. From reading Steins;gate SOF knew she was an amazing teacher. Her words connected with him immediately and he began to visualize changing paper to gold. Reforming the carbon. It was hard and he was kind of unsure how to do it but a young voice called out to him at the last second "Like this." suddenly SOF had performed a transmutation, with the red light changing the receipts into a small nugget of gold. "How much will this get us?" SOF asked the guy behind the counter "Food for at least an entire part of soldiers."<br/>SOF grinned "Good becasue one is about to show up, Be right back Kurisu." he smiled and ran off to the group "I got everything paid for and in a much more moral way, so no heavy conscious. foods on me just ask the guy what you want." HE walked back in and ordered some stew before sitting opposite of Kurisu. She had this sheepish glean to her eyes. "Oh come on i know you want to ask."<br/>Kurisu nodded "What did you just do?"<br/>SOF put a finger to his lips "Its called alchemy, but not like the same alchemy that Nicolas Flemmel did, more of a mystical version based upon the law of equivalent exchange... look i'll explain more when i'm not starving."<br/>She looked both disappointed but agreeable "Right... uh after food though full explanation."<br/>SOF smiled and nodded "Of course!"<br/><br/>(I have to apologize, i was forced to move twice in the span of 2 weeks while finding a new job to support myself and jumping though hoops to get my application to college fixed... its not really an excuse but i apologize nonetheless)
