I Transmigrated Into My Favorite BL Novel?!

Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Fateful Encounters and Hidden Gems



UNEDITED

After arriving at the market, Adrian decided to hide in the small alley beside the gates to cancel the flight spell and land, ofcourse also getting coins from who knows where.

Adrian get out of the small alley way with a brown hood on hiding his face.

He walks towards the direction of the famous lucid market of the empire. It is said to have everything, from food to furniture, magical trinkets, metal, weapons and many others.

•|This place is really popular from village people to tourist, this place is also the first time the protagonist and the rat male lead met in the novel, it was said to happen on the moon festival|•

~°• yes, actually the moon festival has already passed, which means- •°~

•|-the protagonist and male lead already met... Geez plot god never fails to amaze me, I was planning on destroying-|•

~°• what? •°~

•|ehem! I mean, stopping the fated encounter before it happens so the story wouldn't advance further...|•

~°• but even if you interfere with the plot and events 'fate' or 'plot god' as you said, would always find a way to make the fated leads to meet one way or another •°~

•|yes that is true, that's why I admire the 'plot god' and 'plot armor' of their resilience and determination.... But anyways-|•

•|-the market seems to be very lively, and their all heading towards the same direction... Where are they going Cleo?|•

~°•Errr... they are walking towards the plaza, one of the love interest's was seen there- And it would seem to be -Edmund La Armani- •°~

•| Did you just say love interest? And it was Edmund?! As in the cute, lazy, scheming duke of the west Edmund La Armani?! The one who helped the protagonist destroy another powerful duchy!|•

~°•Yes Aki... it would seem it is him, even the DNA is the same... looks are the same also-•°~

•| Sh*t we gotta make a run for it! There is no way in h*ll am I going to meet one of the love interests' much less him! That guys a crazy obsessive bast*rd, he's a wolf in sheep's clothing! |•

~°• Aki watch where your going, you might bump into someone- •°~

~°• look out! •°~

•|wha-...!?|•

As Adrian was running he suddenly bumped into a human who had a hot drink and also happens to be hiding from people that were running on the other road...

(A/N: yes it is indeed a human not an animal neither a werewolf or vampire 🗿)

*Thud!*

*Splash*

~°•...See what I mean? Now you dropped someone's drink •°~

•| Okay, okay. Just let me say my apologies first... Geez|•

"My apologies, I didn't mean to bump into you! I'll repay you or I'll just get you a new one... I'm very sorry!"

And for my ultimate killer technique! The pitiful face attack said to have killed many men with! A pitiful angel beauty style!!!

~°•Wow Aki, your using your pitiful and cute act towards this stranger.... you really are something •°~

•|Geez, when did you learn how to talk back to me? I want my cute and adorable system back! And I'm really apologizing to this stranger kay?!|•

~°•...Whatever you say Aki, whatever you say•°~

•| bleh! Sarcastic much! |•

~°•host...!•°~

•| Why do you sound so panicked? What? Are you scared now? Do you now know what you did wrong? |•

~°• host that's not it! •°~

•| If that's not it then what? |•

~°•Errr.... Host... Didn't you say you didn't want to meet a love interest- that man you bumped into! look!•°~

•|Huh?|•

Adrian open up his eyes and

a cute faced man that has jet black hair with light ends, and vibrant yellow eyes is the first thing he sees that even the strangers dark cloak can't seem to cover it's wearer's beauty.

"Umm, sure why not? You can repay me by having lunch with me, will that be okay with you?"

"Oh, sure sir, it's the least I can do for the bother"

Said Adrian smiling angelically towards the stranger.

~°• Host why did you agree!? Didn't you not want to me the love interest especially Edmund?! •°~

•|What-? this cute stranger is Edmund?...|•

~°• Yes host...•°~

•|ah shi- no wonder he seems familiar....|•

"Why don't we go to Julia's La Patisserie? It's very popular to both commoners and nobles."

"Uhhh...sure...heheh"

Edmund and Adrian starts walking towards the cafe on the left side of the road where Julia's La Patisserie was located.

•|sh*t, sh*t, sh*t! I'm doomed!|•

~°• I will be praying for you... good luck host..! •°~

•|this is so awkward-....|•

~°• I'm slowly lighting a candle for you, oh wait I forgot my candle! I gotta go! •°~

•|Wait no! Don't leave me-! Don't leave me with this bastard!! Cleo you traitor!|•

"Why don't you take a sit?"

Edmund said while sliding the chair for Adrian to sit on.

"Ahahah...your too kind sir I should be the one doing this instead of you...after all I did spill your drink"

Adrian smiles shyly, excluding a shy beauty aura completely wiping away the coldly elegant beauty aura from before.

On the outside you can see a dignified air and a few roses floating around him while giving off a cutesy and shy vibe to those around him, the onlookers were dazzled by his beauty even Edmund was dazed.

 While inside Adrian was internally panicking, for he just found out that the stranger he bumped into was one of the male interests' and it's the lazy, deranged, crazy one of the bunch...

 •|Cleo get back here! Don't leave me with this lunatic! System... System! I swear I'm gonna die if I spend a minute- no a second longer with this guy!|•

 "So, what would you like to order sir?"

 "Oh me? Why not you first, my treat"

 "Yes you, I did spill your drink, and it's my treat I did spoil your day"

 "Well, for all I could say that you just made my day brighter"

 "Hahah, you sure like to jest sir"

 "Why thank you, and you should drop the Mr. Stranger and Sir, you can just call me Edm- Edgar... Or Ed for short "

 "Alright Mr.Edgar, It wouldn't be right to call you Ed after what I have done, and my name's A-... Aki..."

 Adrian said while showing his poker smile.

 "That's a beautifully mysterious name for such a hauntingly handsome person like you, is suits you"

 "thank you and you're obviously more handsome than me-"

 •|Ah wait sh*t- I should've worn a cloak!|•

 "Thank you for the compliment Aki"

 "Oh is that so, Why don't we order now? Please go first Mr.Edgar heheh..."

 •|sh*t he saw my face! He might remember and kill me for sure! I have to make a good impression|•

 "Sure I don't mind, waiter!"

 "Yes sir, what can I do for you both?"

 "We would like to order now, can we get a menu?"

 "Yes sir, this is our menu"

 "I'll get a slice of Tarte Aux Fruit, thick cake batter is patted into a flan dish and a variety of fruit is laid on top, as for my drink I would like to have Oolong Tea, How about you Aki?"

 "Me? Oh uh... I'd like to get a dome made of a lemon curd with a raspberry coulis insert, delicately placed on a sablé breton, and decorated with Italian meringue and Black tea please"

 "Alright, thank you for ordering, your order will be here shortly"

 "Thank you"

 "Thank you"

 Said Adrian and Edmund in unison. After the waiter had left, Edmund slid his chair closer to Adrian's.

 "So, what were you doing in lucid market? Do you live here?"

 "I actually live far away, just went here to buy some stuff that I needed"

 "I can help you"

 "Oh no need for that, I can handle on my own, besides I wouldn't want to waste more of your precious time"

 "You really don't need my help? besides you wouldn't be wasting my time at all"

 "Yes, I'll be fine on my own"

 •|so don't think of even coming near me you lunatic! I've already rejected you stop being persistent! You're the one wasting my precious time!|•

 Although Adrian was displeased he didn't show his discomfort towards the man right infront of him, he just sat there showing a fake smile while trying to keep up his angelic attitude.

 "Alright then, may I know your full name?"

 "M-my f-full name?"

 "Yes, I want to know more about you"

•|well I don't want to know more about you! I already know a lot I don't need to know more! At! All!|•

 "Oh that...haha... Its Aki, just Aki since I'm just a meer traveler and commoner"

 •|like I'd tell you my real name! From this world...I guess...|•

 "Oh is that so? It seems like it'll be hard to meet you again after this..."

 "Hahah, I don't think I'll be back here for a long time, so there's no need for that Mr.Edgar"

 "Too bad then I quite like your company- oh would you look at that they've already prepared the desserts so fast, they really deserve their title of the best patisserie within lucid market"

 The waiter went to their table and served the pastries and teas carefully and cautiously infront of Adrian and Edmund. After that the waiter said;

 "Hope you enjoy, if you would like to order more please call for me"

 "Yes thank you"

 Said Adrian while cutting up a little portion of the dessert and stabbing it with the fork. He takes the fork close to his mouth and he took a bite....

 "Yum! This is delicious"

 Adrian spoke while chewing with a happy face and with gleaming eyes.

 "Isn't it? They really make good pastries here"

 "They really do!"

 •|Yum! I'll let this one slide this time! I don't care if Edmund's here as long as there's delicious food!|•

 "...pfft-!"

 "Hmm? Why are you laughing?"

 "Sorry, It's just your face was really cute when you were eating..."

 "Oh! Excuse my manners, that was so embarrassing..."

 "Ah no, it wasn't embarrassing at all...well for me- it was kinda cute y'know?"

 "Oh..I'll be more mindful, apologies for my rude behavior earlier"

 •|Now let's continue eating!Heheh...|•

~× After ×~

 Adrian and Edmund went out of cafe and had a little chat outside and later bidding their farewells.

 "I had a wonderful time with you, if you don't mind me asking but if you have the time why don't we eat together again? I mean pastries ofcourse..."

 "Oh the pleasure is all mine, but... I doubt that we will ever get to meet again, farewell have a safe trip sir Edgar"

 "Ah...then you too...good bye"

Both of them walked different paths and went on with their day, the other going East the other going West.

(A/N: cuz wouldn't it be awkward if they bid farewell and they went on the same direction lmao)

 When Adrian was out of the sight of Edmund, he took a swift turn to the left to the connected alley way and dash towards the market in the speed of light.

 ~°• Host I'm back! •°~

 •|Oh so now your back? Oh please don't joke with me! You literally ran away when I needed your help!|•

 ~°• I had a slight problem with my system data so I couldn't be with you on that, my apologies •°~

 •|If you did have such anomalies then you shouldn't have come back instead then!|•

 ~°• eppp! I'm sorry host, I won't do it again! •°~

 •|You better don't or else!|•

 ~°• host... so... scary.... shouldn't.... have come... back•°~

 •|I can hear you y'know! Now let's just go get the materials we'll be needing, so we can get out of here already...|•

 ~°• you should really watch where your going host, you might get injured because of your carelessness •°~

 •|alright... alright...geez|•

 With that Adrian slows down until he was just walking on a regular pace.

 •|where can you even find that magic store anyway?|•

 ~°• what do you mean? •°~

 •|In the novel it was mentioned that there was something important in there that the protagonist gifted to the duke of the South, that thing made male lead #5 a.k.a the duke the number one knight on the whole continent!|•

 ~°• oh you mean him?! •°~

 •|yes him, and he wasn't just a knight he was a magic swordsman! How cool is that?! And I think it was a... A crystal gem or a rune...I dunno|•

 ~°• but aren't you a wizard host? And where would you find the thing anyway? •°~

 •|yes that is true, and didn't I just say that the protagonist found it in a good looking shop? That thing could double your mana and energy and also boost your stats y'know? And good timing actually we're already here... |•

 They both focus their attention towards the wooden old shop called >the whispering wisp magic shop<.

 ~°• ummm.... Host, I thought the novel said it was a good looking shop... why is it so shabby? Wait no scratch that, it's shaddy even...•°~

 •|It was indicated that the shop was restored in the novel after, we are still 3 years early from it's renovation|•

 ~°• geez, why can't they do it now? •°~

 •|Because no one is buying here anymore, there are more popular and grand shops in the light district, so this shop was forgotten|•

 ~°• except for the protagonist it seems... •°~

 •|Oh the protagonist? Don't make me laugh he didn't even know this place existed, he only knew of this shop when he accidentally came by it and came inside to ask for directions|•

 ~°• ohhh.... •°~

 •| this place almost became a fighting ground and auction Because the protagonist and one nobleman were fighting for that jewel hah! |•

 •|now let's go in, I want to take it back with me before anyone else gets it|•

 Adrian slowly open the door, afraid that the store might accidentally collapse because of his carelessness.

 "Hello, is anybody in?"

 "Well hello young lad! What brings you here?"

 "Hello there sir, I would like to know if you had crystals and gems here?"

 "Oh yes, in fact we actually do. Please come inside, which crystal gem were you be looking for?"

 "The crystal should be the size or 6.4 mm or 1 ct, it has a fancy vivid pink color "

 "Oh you want the pink rose gem? I think I kept it in a box in the storage room, please wait"

 "Yes, I will be right here then"

 •|might as well look around while waiting...|•

 Adrian thought while walking around the store and looking through the shelves and boxes. When he was at the third shelf he felt something sharp and saw something glistening at the back of the shelf, Adrian reached out his hand to look at the thing that was shining in the dark.

 When he pulled his arm back out what he saw astounded him, it was the Gem of Bahamut, the legendary demonic king of dragons, it was once said that the dragon Bahamut got sealed inside a Red Gem centuries ago.

 •|hey Cleo, look at this! Isn't this Bahamut's Red Gem!? How lucky!|•

 ~°• wahh host, you luck is really high but I didn't think you would find the legendary gem of Bahamut that was said to be hard to find? I'm lemon! •°~

 •|such luck! To think I would be able to mount him! Heheheh thank you to whoever gave me my high luck rate!|•

(A/N: You better be...)

 •|I'll just buy this along with the crystal gem- |•

 "I found it! Dear customer here is the crystal gem you are looking for"

 "Ah thank you, can I see it please?"

 "Such a polite lad you are ofcourse you can, you're buying it"

 Adrian walks closer towards the wooden box and looked at the dazzling pink gem infront of him.

 "It really is..."

 "It really is what sir?"

 "Oh...it's really beautiful...you see I've been looking for this everywhere heheh..."

 "Ah, you seem to really want this-"

 "YES!"

 "...???"

 "I...um.. yes I do want it, for how much can you sell this to me?"

 "For about 500 silver coins or 5 gold coins "

 "500?!"

 "Yes, 500 silver / 5 gold coins for this gem over here is really precious. When I was on a journey to the ancient demonic dragon Bahamut's cave I found this lying on the floor, it was infront of the entrance"

 "Really? How'd you find the cave?"

 "I somehow located it when I was looking for somewhere to sleep in for the night when it was raining heavily and it was the closest to where I was haha"

 "...you were looking for somewhere...to sleep in?"

 •|Gah! What kind of luck is that?! He didn't even try to find the place, he just wanted somewhere to sleep in and it was the closest!|•

 "Yes, I'm quite lucky aren't I?"

 •|Cleo, appraisal on this man|•

 ~°• yes!

 •|tsk, is he some hidden character or what? Shouldn't he be the nice wizard uncle mob in the novel?|•

 ~°• well... supposedly so... •°~

 •|let's think about this later, I'll just buy the pink rose gem along with Bahamut's Red Gem|•

 "Alright, then how about this red gem, how much is it?"

 "Ah that old thing, it'll just be around 245 silver coins, it was also found in the cave"

 "....I'll take both..."

 *Ching-!*

 "Goodbye Mister I'll see you again if I have the time!"

 "I hope to see you again too dear customer, have a safe trip back!"

 With that Adrian and Cleo left the shop merrily with the two gems at hand.

 •|well that was money spent wisely I guess...|•

 ~°• At least you got your hands on those gems! So lucky you got Bahamut's Red Gem for quite a low price! •°~

 •|yes, indeed if he knew what that red gem was I wouldn't get that for only 245 silver coins it would probably be sold at a really high price or be sent to the imperial family... Good grief|•

 ~°• we actually took something important from the male lead heheh so happy! •°~

 •|well we didn't technically take it, we just bought it first before they could... Ah but it really is satisfying when you think about it, let's go home now. I will check it's effects once we're home|•

 With that both went back to the mansion using the flight spell instead of using a carriage.
