Shiro: The Secret Hero
198. Normal Day

Coming to his house, Shiro tries to familiarize himself with the circumstances of living with others.

Not because he could not live together, he was used to living with others in his previous life. But the problem is, in his previous life, he lived with the family he loved.

While at this time, a woman who lives with him is just a friend who has not met for a long time, so the atmosphere between the two is quite awkward. In addition, his friend Ume has a face that is somewhat similar to his wife in his previous life, so when he saw Ume, Shiro seemed to see his wife. So he tried to stay away from Ume, so that all the memories of his family did not appear too often.

"Eh, you've come home apparently!"

Ume was somewhat surprised by Shiro's sudden arrival, he did not feel the arrival of someone behind him.

Faced with Ume's remarks, Shiro was also confused to answer what, "Eh. I just got home! I'm gonna take a shower!"

"Yes!"

Shiro then walks to the bathroom to clean himself up, leaving Ume still cooking in shame.

During the bath and after, Shiro thought a lot about how to start a conversation with Ume so that the condition of his house was not too lonely or awkward.

"Unseen, what should I say?"

Then Unseen appeared from under Shiro's shadow, "Be relaxed, as usual."

"But somehow it's hard."

Unseen changed his expression, "Tumben you're like this, Shiro. Just found out that you can whip like this too."

"You don't understand how I feel, Unseen. Forget it, I will take care of it myself." Shiro confided while giving Unseen some Crystal Core as food.

Shiro walks into the kitchen, and seeing Ume serving dinner, Shiro asks him: "What dinner are we having today?"

Shiro's question surprised Ume, "Eh...Um... Tonight I'm just cooking a steak and just a simple vegetable soup."

"No problem, I like that enough. I haven't eaten green food in a long time."

"Is it so, whether it's adventurous, you eat anything often?" ask Ume curious.

He knew Shiro was adventurous, so he was quite curious about Shiro's life during his adventures.

"That's not delicious" Shiro said with a sad expression. "You can only eat meat, meat, and meat. Sometimes with fruit. If I get bored, I'll eat the snacks and ready-to-eat instant foods that I keep in the storage ring."

"Is that so? Sounds less fun. Then why do you feel at home on an armpit adventure knowing it's not so good?" ask Ume curious.

"The reason is pretty much, first, I'm tired of urban life. Second, humanitarian reasons, there are many gates out there that are far from urban and far from the reach of Heroes. The third, beautiful scenery and new scenery that can calm the soul. That's all!"

"Oh, like that!" Ume response.

"Although it doesn't sound very interested, but can you tell me about your experiences when adventuring? It might be useful during the fight inside the Gate."

"Due to listen?" ask Shiro.

"Yes, I'm quite curious" Ume said curiously.

"All right!"

Next, the two had dinner while listening to Shrio's story of his experiences during the adventure.

Ume listened carefully to Shiro's story. He never cuts it off, but he is sometimes surprised by Shiro's story, so he can only ask Shiro back.

He was shocked when he heard Shiro's story of a pile of corpses of foreign races numbering in the hundreds. There are also those who make him not believe that there is a foreign race that surrendered and resigned to face the death of himself and his race.

Shiro's story makes no sense, but he feels no signs of lying when Shiro tells him. He could only accept the facts about it, even though it sounded like a fantasy story.

Shiro also did not force Ume to believe, he only told her a little about the fate of the Orcs and Lizardmen. Of course, Shiro did not tell in detail about this. It does not tell about the Sacrifice, the formation of the Gate, nor about the Devil race.

He didn't tell her because it was taboo for them. Shiro also did not know whether Ume had found out about the Devil or not. Therefore, taking the safe path, Shiro did not tell him.

About the corpses of the Orcs piling up, Shiro only told Ume that the bodies were stacked by their race leader who wanted to show his arrogance and charisma.

"Being an adventurer, you must have full preparation. Because you don't know what you're gonna face next. If you become an urban hero, before entering the Gate, there is a Scout who risks his life to get information. As an adventurer, you have to go in, gather your own information and complete it by yourself."

"Oh, like that. So the preparation must be complete first huh?" ask Ume.

"Yes, but everything will pay off completely after successfully dealing with all that. There's a sense of pride after finishing it all."

"Indeed, I will also feel happy after doing a mission" Ume responded.

After that, Shiro finished his dinner and story. He rested and slept in his room. As for Ume, he slept in the next room that he had cleaned himself.

The next day, Shiro went through his usual activities. He stopped by the Office of the Chairman of the Association and was seen by the Chairman of the Association who was again busy with his work. Shiro there just wants to heat up the Chairman of the Association.. After being satisfied to upset him, Shiro left without the slightest guilt.

During the day and afternoon, Shiro walked around the city that still looked peaceful, while stopping by the arena to see the fight that was there.

After the afternoon, Shiro did not immediately return to his home. He ate at a roadside food stall. Before he finally went to Black Market.

Tonight is the night where the auction will be held. From the catalog or booklet that the auction party shared, there were no items that attracted Shiro's attention.

He wanted to stop by the auction house just to see the auction process for the items he auctioned. Moreover, he wanted to watch the fun over this auction. Once a time there are items that can arouse his taste, even though the chances are very small.

The auction started, but from the beginning to the end, the auction items had not changed much. No surprise comes as a surprise to Shiro. Although many cool items and new items are displayed at the auction, there is nothing very useful that can make him interested in having them.

The auction ended quite enthusiastically, but not with Shiro. He walked towards the counter to retrieve the value of the item he sold at the auction this time.

Many of the items he sold attracted the attention of the Blacksmiths from various Cities. The Lich and Trident robes of the Lizardman Leader made these Blacksmiths want to waste their money to buy them.

They wanted these items to be researched and tried to replicate or refine them.

As a result, the item was successfully sold for more than 10 times the initial price of the auction. Surely Shiro was also quite happy because he managed to make a lot of money easily. With this money, he can live a relaxed life in urban areas for several months without the need to work even a little.

From the auction, Shiro immediately returned to his home. He was quite tired with his current day, so he quickly fell asleep.
