Chapter 97

Annoying Orange

Emma woke up in a manner familiar to many cat owners: with Saint smothering her face in thick tufts of orange fur. Thankfully, Emma didn’t actually need to breathe, or she’d have woken far more abruptly quite some time ago. Still remembering the futility of trying to dislodge Saint the normal way last night and activated Ephemera, using a moment of intangibility to slip through her captor and make her way off of the bed. Leaving Saint to sleep on her now vacant pillow, Emma headed to the door.

Knob-head (LOCKED)

The door looked untouched, raising questions as to how Saint got inside. She hadn’t done anything harmful though, despite spending the night so Emma pushed the matter aside; Saint wasn’t going anywhere soon, and there were things to do on a timer.

Timed Quest received - All Mart (Time Limit: 6 Days)

Objective: Acquire a homunculus (Emma Knight).

Objective: Acquire a set of formal attire (Eternal Britannian Empire).

Bonus Objective: Acquire a storage item that can hold living beings.

Bonus Objective: Find out how much money Edith Knight has left in her bank account.

Bonus Objective: Acquire a divine artifact compatible with Saint.

Rewards: 500 EXP

Bonus Rewards: Upgrade a random Ability and/or Trait, A large sum of Imperial money, Trait - Babble Fish upgraded to include non-humans.

Looking at her new quest properly for the first time, it was apparent to Emma that the two main objectives were effectively free. Elizabeth had promised to pay for both items, so the only thing to be done was to emphasize speed, ensuring that both were delivered before the end of the week. The EXP gain was a nice bonus, but the main reward was always going to be the items themselves. The Bonus Objectives, meanwhile, were where things got interesting.

“Amal mentioned storage items existed, but that he couldn’t get one at the time, hence the spell he cast on me instead to grant an Inventory,” Emma recalled. “So it’s probably not something easy to make, nor quick for that matter.”

There are a handful of individuals capable of such a turnaround, for a small fortune. Realistically, buying second hand is the way to go, given the circumstances. That might change, depending on how much is left in my hidden bank account.

Emma made note of that as she reclaimed the Anima within the door, unlocking it.

“Speaking of the second objective, you haven’t been around for a long time; are you sure the bank’s even still around?”

They were, last I checked three decades ago. Look for a branch of Sale & Swindell.

Emma nearly tripped, barely grabbing the railing in time to avoid a tumble down the stairs.

“Please tell me that’s a fake name.”

The bank began as a partnership, and following tradition, was named after the surnames of the two managing partners.

“Okay, it shouldn’t be too hard to get your account unlocked.” Emma sighed. “Might take more paperwork than I would like, but we can get it done. That last bonus objective though…”

Yeah, I’ve got nothing.

“Aren’t you the one assigning the quests?” Emma
