Still Loved Even In The New World
CHAPTER 17: The Stardust

Ilma:"as expected of the princess"

Lydia:"anu..this, what's going on?"

they came back to their senses from his shock. Ilma seemed excited and immediately approached me, while Lydia seemed dazed and confused about what was happening.

Filia: "this is one of my magic. This magic can manipulate the soil and change its structure while adding some elements needed to be various materials with soil and stone base."

Ilma:"this is an amazing princess"

Lydia:"this is really...huh...thank God that only princesses have magic like this in the whole capital city"

Lydia spoke while holding onto her wrinkled forehead.

Filia:"well, I'm not sure, but I haven't seen anyone else wear it".

true, if many people master magic like this throughout the capital, then it could be a disaster.Just imagine, if many people who master magic like this, it could be a disaster, then most people would hire witches and leave the usual contractor workers working slower and not cost-effective.

when such a thing happens, ordinary people will lose their jobs and unemployment will increase.The increasing unemployment will also increase the ratio of crime in a region both local and regional. what was worse was the discord between the witches and the common folk, the witches would take most of the livelihoods of those people and the witches would despise the common people would even consider them inferior.

on the contrary, ordinary people would regard the possessors of magic power as a threat. Conditions like this are conditions that are not very conducive to a country, but that is not all, but that is not all, it could be that ordinary people will revolt against the government because of dissatisfaction or because it is influenced by the third party.

people who could not use magic did not mean they were weak.If they studied Martial Art and were able to use internal strength, they were able to defeat the magicians. even they are more flexible when fighting and excel in close combat.

even if it's just a small problem, it can cause a terrible butterfly effect.

Lydia:"daughter. You didn't mean to spread it, did you?"

Filia:"no. anyway to use it requires mana consumption and high stamina"

of course his mana consumption is high for people with your level, but for me even without feeling.

Filia:"even though the building is finished, but the interior is nothing, so I asked Miss Lydia for help to find someone who can take care of the interior decoration".

Lydia: "of course the princess.but, what kind of decoration does the princess want?"

Filia: "for the first floor, I want to be a place to display various foods with various glass cabinets to display food, a place for receptionists, and should be comfortable for people from all walks of life.

for the second floor, I would rather make it a suitable place for nobles to eat and relax.

and for the third floor, I'll take care of it myself".

Lidia:"good princess"

Filia:"for the fee, tomorrow I will come again to the guild"

after saying that, I turned around and left with Ilma following behind me.

Lydia:"daughter.I'll take you"

Lidia immediately chased after us at a quick pace and offered us a ride.

Filia: "no need. I still have something to do"

without further ado I immediately left the place and headed to the trading district with Ilma. In the trading district there were countless shops and sales stalls along the way.

various things, ranging from food, fruits, vegetables and various accessories are sold. on this main road is very crowded with various types of people, including, both traders and adventurers and there will probably be some villains.

I saw a variety of strange fruits and vegetables that I had never met before. There were also some normal fruits like those on earth that were not very interesting to me.

I came to a stall selling a strange cucumber-like fruit but purple like eggplant.It has a scent that is somewhat like blueberries but also like oranges, this fruit reminds me of the juice I once drank at my aunt's place.

Filia:"excuse me...uncle, what fruit is this?"

the merchant who sold this fruit was an uncle in his thirties with an apron and a brown cloth headband.

traders:"oh.this is a fruit grul. usually this will be made as a drink in some restaurants"

surely this is the ingredient that the aunt used.I like the taste, and maybe if this is made into flavorings for the cake, it will produce a new taste that is good.well then we will buy it.

Filia:"I want a box!"

merchant:"one, one box.well, it costs two pieces of silver"

the trader looked rather surprised and quickly turned into happy..

Filia:"Ilma.do you have any small money.here I only have platinum"

Ilma:"I brought some princess silver"

I took the silver from Ilma and put the box containing the fruit into the storage.The box was large enough to require an adult if you want to lift it.

I saw a large building in the middle of the market.on the front there is a board that reads 'money exchange'.it seems like the owner of this place can see a strategic place.

I went inside, inside there were enough people who traded foreign currency or turned it into a special ticket.I think the way it works is similar to modern banks.

I went to the reception desk, as in the guild, the receptionist here is also a professional person.

receptionist:"can I help you?"

Filia:"I want to exchange money"

I put two silver coins of Alterion which was the equivalent of two platinum coins.I put her on the table, making the receptionist's older sister surprised.

Philia:"I want to exchange it for small silver and gold coins"

receptionist:"this.t, please wait a minute!"

the receptionist went straight to the back and returned shortly afterwards with two bags of money in his hand.

receptionist:"this is 100 Small Gold Coins and 1000 Silver Coins"

I nodded and put the money bag back into storage and left the place with a few surprised-looking people.

then go back on exploring the entire trading district and buy many more strange kinds of fruits and vegetables.

Filia:"ilma.follow me!"

I pulled Ilma's hand, taking her walking to a small, deserted street.

Filia:"OUT!!"

I stopped and shouted. I could already feel some people following me since I got out of the money changer.

"hehehe.it looks like we've been discovered"

from the corner appeared four people.seen from his clothes it seemed like they were adventurers.not all adventurers were good, there were also some who behaved like lowly bandits who would rob others.

"quickly hand over your money and we won't hurt you"

Filia: "why are you doing this?"

"why?. of course for money.and again it seems from your voice, you are a sweet girl"

one of the four people answered with a disgusting expression and looked like a soft prey in plain sight.

"we've often sold girls like you to rich customers.You'd better come without a fight than you'll get hurt!"

Ilma wanted to move around protecting me, but I stopped her. I don't like to throw too many words at these bastards. they often kidnap and sell children to rich people perverted with the disorder, they all deserve to die.

Filia:"⟨⟨Stardust⟩⟩"

I shook my hands and the sparkling crystal blue powder immediately pounced towards the four people like blue sand blown by a strong wind along with a bone-freezing cold aura.

everything that the cold blue aura passed through was frozen and coated with extremely hard and cold ice.

Uhhh.....

the screams rang out and quickly disappeared.The blue powder also disappeared and left only the surroundings frozen with four ice sculptures sparkling and billowing with the cold. the four people had already turned into frozen ice to their bones.

crack...

the sound of cracks rang out loud in the quiet surroundings.The four ice sculptures cracked and shattered into small pieces of ice on the ground without any trace of blood in the slightest.

Filia:"let's go"

I immediately pulled down Ilma's slightly dazed arm and walked away from it. I didn't want to show Ilma any blood. I was afraid that Ilma would become alert and might get mentally disturbed because of this incident.
