BXBX NOVEL Chapter 248 - Withdrawal (6)
"Ah… the problems of popular guys," Billy thought. "Putting the jokes aside, I should prepare my ears because I can see some individuals complaining about this."
In any case, there was no point in hesitating, and Billy was already enough not to carry too much about the disapproval of some people. So, he just wrote a letter to Jean, Edward, and Aura to inform them. The last two were more like invitations, but it wasn\'t a problem per se.
After that, Billy wrote some other letters to the guild masters, Pierre and Louise. He owed them at least an invitation, even though it was hard to say if he was that close to them. Once that was done, he invited his friends to have dinner with them, and then he told the news.
"We have come a really long way, huh," Alexander said. "A few years ago, we were just playing around while training and now we travel for days to visit our hometown for such a big occasion."
"I was never playing around," Billy said.
In any case, the trip would start in one week, and even though Billy thought that his friends would have some free time, they were quite busy visiting their students and then talking with them about the possibility of hiring them to work in their territories. Kate and Sarah\'s units would be even more valuable because they could use magic, and almost five hundred of them would manage to create walls and watchtowers in no time. It would be a good competition between Billy and them… But even against five hundred men, he had an advantage. Thanks to the dungeon and Spiritual Core, he could recover his mana insanely fast.
"Jean told me that most of the employees that I need are already there, but I suppose I will need to get acquainted with them and see if I need to make some changes," Billy thought. "Given that they didn\'t live the dungeon town even despite the risks, their loyalty should be more than sufficient, at the very least."
In the end, during that week, Billy found himself bored out of his mind. There were many things one had to take care of back on Earth before the grant event, but things were simpler in that world. Besides, the house and everything else they would need had been taken care of when they moved.
"I suppose I need to change my view since people from earth are different from here, at least when it comes to us," Billy thought, and then he looked toward Kate and Natalie. "Anyway, you two need something for the ceremony, I feel like things are ready, but maybe that is just me forgetting important details."
"Even if you ask us that… I am not sure," Kate said. "There aren\'t many marriages in our town and while they are hold in my house, I only participated in Alexander and Lily\'s marriage."
"Everything is ready and nothing is missing, maybe you are just actually nervous despite always trying to look composed," Natalie added.
Billy didn\'t feel nervous, but he couldn\'t help but feel that something was missing. After thinking for a while, he realized that it was due to the fact that they belonged to warrior\'s tribes, so it made sense that things were way too simple.
"Well, we finally have some room to breathe, so let\'s enjoy these moments like this," Billy said, and then he held Kate and Natalie\'s hands. "We don\'t usually do this kind of stuff often."
"This isn\'t so bad," Kate said with a small smile on her face.
"Somehow I feel that you are trying to show off by holding our hands at the same time," Natalie said.
"No one is looking, so it is fine," Billy said.
Maybe doing this in the open would be a bit reproachful in the eyes of others, but then again, Billy wasn\'t the type of guy who would do that. Kate and Natalie are also pretty serious, so they wouldn\'t feel comfortable with any sign of affection in front of others.
On the day of the departure, everyone left together on the same carriage. Jean would come a bit later accompanied by other guys. Much to Billy\'s surprise, all of his invitations had been accepted. They were supposed to be busy or resting, but everyone looked eager to see the sole town of Heinhall state. They probably will feel disappointed since there isn\'t much to see there.
During the trip, Billy realized that there were still many things he could do in that world. Like improving the traveling speed between long distances. Thanks to the horses, they could travel one hundred kilometers every day with ease, but it was a bit slow considering the distances he usually crossed. He more or less knew how he could create machines that would use vapor or steam to work, but he wondered if it was worth the hassle to develop that kind of technology that could pollute the environment.. Instead of using that, he began to think about how he could cross big distances using magic. That would be the finest example of clean energy…
