[coins: gold 1651 silver 50 copper 42]
'I hope this is enough to cover the costs of the item I am looking for.' Shaman gulped as she looked at the amount of coins she had collected and was unsure if the item that allowed to track Shaman's status was in her price range or even existed.
'Well so far things I did not expect to exist have so who knows.' Shaman tried to reassure herself as she was unsure what she could do to keep Elysia's mental state in check.
'Why did she have to be so troublesome?' Shaman held her head as it was rather annoying and stressful for her since she has to always keep in mind that Elysia could snap and cause unnecessary problems.
'Hey Rea, is there a way to buy the item I am looking for from you?' Shaman was hoping maybe the system could provide a shop but seeing as she wasn't able to summon up a menu of sorts she assumed it was not possible.
[Yes you can but you are too poor and do not have the necessary funds to purchase it]
Shaman halted her steps as she was walking through the middle of town, making her way to the auction house.
'That kind of hurts you know.' Shaman felt her heart ache a little as the stress was building up.
[We only provide the best quality so it is reasonable why you cannot afford an item that is 1 billion gold coins]
Shaman's jaw dropped as that amount of gold was unthinkable to her.
[Do not worry the item you seek does exist and is not that expensive so keep going, Rea is cheering for you.]
'You know it is very hard to get expressions from text so if you can work on getting a voice that would be great.' Shaman felt after the last comment that Rea was being sarcastic but due to it being text the message just went over Shaman's head.
[....]
'Why go silent now, is it because you are embarrassed to speak since you actually do have a voice.' Shaman began to get suspicious that it had a voice but it was just unwilling to use it.
"NO!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShaman was shocked as she actually baited Rea to say something and was not expecting a reaction. However Shaman did find the voice to be rather cute.
"Heh cute." Shaman muttered those words but Rea heard it loud and clear.
'So what was that about not having a voice?' Shaman began to get cheeky as now she felt like she had the upper hand against Rea.
'Wait you heard that.' A female voice that sounded like they were in their teens spoke out in disbelief as she seemed to be unaware that she could talk in the first place.
'uhh yeah.' Shaman was a little confused by Rae's reaction.
'Wait that means the administrator allowed me to talk, this is amazing.' Rea began to talk to herself as it seems that her voice was only just now released.
'Administrator?' Shaman began to think she was a part of a game and that these higher beings are the ones pulling the strings.
'I said too much, don't worry about it.' Rea dismissed what she said and Shaman knew not to question further as she knew that it would either get censored or Rea would not budge.
'Okay but this is great news, you can actually talk to me and Elysia.' Shaman was rather happy with this new development, having a personal assistant in your head sounded like a great idea.
'Yes and don't worry, whenever you and Elysia have your bonding time I turn away and don't watch.' Shaman instantly became red as the thought of being watched by higher beings while Elysia and her indulged in each other was a creepy thought.
'HAHAHA, do not worry it is just me watching from what I know so I need to panic.' Rea giggled in Shaman's head as Rea could see Shaman's embarrassment.
'Well thats a relief but I need to hurry up before Elysia tears up the apartment from anxiety.' Shaman remembered the whole point of going out and was now wasting time.
'Alrighty~' Rea spoke in a floaty tone as the ability to talk has put her in a really good mood.

Shaman made it to the auction house and began to look for the item she was looking for.
'Although I do not know the name I am glad the search function they have looks for keywords not for the item.' Shaman appreciated that despite the technology looking old it was just like she was back at her home world.
After searching through a list of items and trying to find the right one, Shaman managed to find a bracelet that matched what she wanted.
[Bracelet of wellbeing]
[A person is able to bind their soul to this weapon and whoever wears this is able to see the wellbeing of the person that this is bounded to]
[Currently not bounded]
[Price: 1500 gold]
'FUCK' Shaman looked at the price and her worst fear came true were it would take most of their money to purchase it.
'Well some sacrifices need to be made.' Shaman felt her heart sink as she pushed purchase on the item.
'It is not all bad, just kill a lot of monsters, plus everything is super cheap since you are an adventurer.' Rea's words were true as an adventurer was one of the highest paying occupations and was the reason why a lot of things were rather cheap despite the amount of money they were making.
'I guess that would explain prices for some things.' Shaman sat and waited for the item to be delivered and began to talk to Rea.
Shaman finally received the bracelet and made haste towards her apartment.
She arrived and was met with Elysia who was upside down looking bored out of her mind.
"Are you good there?" Shaman was a little amused by what she was seeing and even got a chuckle out of Rea.
"Wha-" Elysia tried to quickly get up but ended up flopping over on the floor.
"You sure do love the floor." Shaman could not help herself but laugh at Elysia.
Elysia sat up and pouted at Shaman since it was rather embarrassing for her.
"Anyway I have a gift for you." Shaman pulled out the bracelet which she had bound to herself on the way back and threw it at Elysia.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"What is it?" Elysia was a little confused as she knew Shaman went out but did not know why.
"Put it on and find out." Shaman hoped the item was the real deal and was not scammed out of 1500 gold coins.
Elysia went and put on the Bracelet and when she did a small holographic screen was projected out of it and displayed how healthy Shaman was and what effects she had on.
Elysia's eyes brightened as it was exactly what she wanted and so she ran over to give Shaman a hug. Shaman returned the hug and was rewarded with a nice feeling.
"I love you so much Shaman." Elysia gave Shaman a kiss on the cheek.
"I love you too but I feel like you are overexaggerating a little." Shaman felt like this was over dramatic and felt like she was in a romance movie.
"hmph fine then don't take my love." Elysia pulled away and crossed her arms.
"No need to be like that, Elysia." Rea finally spoke which scared Elysia causing her to jump back and look around.
"Who was that?" Elysia continued to look around wanting an answer as she could not pinpoint where the voice came from.
"That is Rea, the system that we talk to." Shaman gave a quick explanation which made Elysia relax but she was still rather confused.
"Well instead of me sending text I can instead talk to you now hehe." Rea found Elysia rather funny and wanted to keep teasing her.
"So that was you Rea, it is now to speak to you but may I ask did you see anything?" Elysia wore her grin which sent shivers down Shaman's spine.
"Not at allll, I made sure I was asleep or not looking." Rea gave an honest answer.
"Good." Elysia returned back to her cheerful smile and went to sit on the bed.
"Have you picked your 2 skills yet?" Shaman was curious if Elysia had made up her mind yet.
"I have one in mind still trying to find a second one." Elysia was stumped on finding another skill and due to the huge amount of options it was hard for her to choose.
"Well we have till tonight and plus I still haven't chosen mine yet so I guess we should hurry up and get to it so we can move." Shaman had actually not even started to look for a skill.
"I agree." Elysia nodded and so they both got back to choosing a skill.
