"PFFFF…!"
While I was checking my phone and drinking water, I ended puffing all the water out of my mouth into the floor, my face filled with shock.
What in the world?! I just earned eight million Canadian dollars just like that?!
That\'s like… almost seven million USD! I can\'t believe I could get this rich! And I only sold very few and normal looking materials.
I can get those Mana Potions in the Nexus Player Market, or just make them myself through alchemy in BNLO super easily…
The magic crystals are from just common monsters, and the mana imbued weapons are the cheapest ones that players at like… Level 30 use.
"W-What happened?!" Mark asked in surprise.
"I-I-I… I\'m rich…" I muttered, sighing.
"Rich?" Mark wondered.
"W-Well…" I sighed.
As we made our way to the market and then began purchasing grocery, I explained what happened. All the items I put into auction, without expecting much, sold for millions of dollars. They were naturally shocked at these news.
"S-So that\'s what happened…" Mark was perplexed. "Maybe I should also begin selling items. I think I could probably do something…" He even started reconsidering what we talked before.
"I would gladly help you sell them dear." I smiled. "Let\'s make a business together!"
"E-Elayne…" Mark got all embarrassed, blushing a bit. "I-I really don\'t deserve you…" He hugged me tightly.
"I\'ll sell my own products made with my own hands though." He nodded. "So don\'t worry, I don\'t want to leech out of your stuff." He smiled with honesty.
"Dummy, I wouldn\'t mind if you wanted to make things with me together either." I sighed. "But well, do as you want." I nodded.
"Looks like it is a decent enough capital." Rose smiled carefreely. "Though that\'s pocket change for me."
"H-How rich are you?" I asked.
"It could be said every strong enough supernatural agent is at least a secret billionaire." Said Rose. "Though we mostly spent over half our capital on new equipment all the time, because it is easy to break when we fight super powered monsters and magicians."
"E-Eh? B-Billionaire?!" Rita asked. "T-This is not fair… I also will craft my stuff!" Rita got a bit angry.
"We can talk more once we are all four of us together." Lily smiled. "I wonder if I could make potions out of my magic plants… I do have the knack for magic after all."
"Do you somehow know Alchemy?" Rose wondered. "You guys are filled with talent!"
"Ahahaha… More or less." I said. "I would prefer to keep this info top secret for now."
"Well, it\'s fine." Rose shrugged. "You\'ve done so many good deeds already that I would feel bad if I interrogated you around, and we\'re friends now, right? I also have so many secrets that I would prefer to neve tell anybody about."
"W-What should I craft myself?" Rita wondered. "Uaagh! I have no talent for this stuff! I need to get rich quick too!"
"Heheh." Lily giggled at Rita\'s struggles.
"Why are you laughing?!" Rita cried in frustration.
It seemed everyone was thinking about crafting something so they could sell it. I mean, she doesn\'t really need to… If she wanted she could just give me the stuff she has in her Inventory, and I\'ll sell it. There\'s also a share of her dropped items I have in my Inventory from monsters we\'ve hunted in Earth, and so on.
But I guess we\'ll discuss this once Rose is not here. She decided to depart once we were done buying groceries, even though I insisted she could come to eat with us.
"Sorry, sorry, I\'ve gotta go. Albert called me." Rose said with a smile. "He said he wanted to go eat out with me, so I\'ll go with that plan for now."
"Huh, I see…" I nodded, smiling a bit. "Do you happen to like Albert? I remember you were really close back then…"
"E-Eh?" Rose suddenly blushed a bit. "W-Why would I like that young man? I am too old for romance! Also he has a demon inside, that\'s… disgusting." She was trying her hardest to look like she didn\'t.
"Wow so even vampire ladies fall in love with mere mortals, that\'s so romantic." Lily smiled.
"I-I said I am not in love…!" Rose pouted a bit. "Anyways, see ya!" She quickly disappeared in an alleyway, traveling across shadows with her magic.
I quickly sent her a few messages.

<Friend: Rose (SWORD Agent, colleagues only)>
[Elayne]: [Best of luck in your date with Albert! If you have any questions just ask me. I am a bit experienced with young men thanks to Mark, also Rita can help!]
[Rose]: [It is not a date! It is just a normal meeting between coworkers!!!]
[Elayne]: [You can do it! :D]
[Rose]: [Shut up!]

She was really shy about it, but I knew that she was into him. I remember how she caressed him and how she hugged him, and even how he let his unconscious head rest over her thighs. That enamored smile and those bright red eyes as she glanced at Albert when he was safe and sound… It is quite clear.
But I guess, due to her age, she\'s trying to deny it… It\'s natural, I suppose. She has lived for so long that she knows she\'ll outlive any of her friends, even Albert. She doesn\'t want to make such an important relationship that\'ll eventually end tragically.
However, I believe she should enjoy the present instead of worrying about a sad future! So I\'ll keep helping her if she asks me eventually.
Once we were done shopping, we arrived at home. My daughter was with Anna and Elisa there, they were a bit surprised when they saw us though.
We started cooking something for everyone right away. There was now a lot of mouths to feed, so we had to prepare a lot.
