After hearing Billy's method, Alexander looked pretty dubious of that. Billy thought for a while, and he realized that he might be wrong. Still, it might increase his chances… at least it made sense considering his knowledge of his previous life. However, if it fails… Billy also realized that Alexander would suffer for quite a while.

"Oh, well… what doesn't kill you makes you stronger," Billy thought.

Three days later, Billy and his friends headed toward one of the exits of the town to say their farewells to Alexander. As one would expect, Alexander was as tense he could be when they arrived there.

"What is wrong, Alexander?" Billy asked while playing dumb. "Are you scared of going alone, or is there anything else bothering you?"

Although he was about to laugh, that was also Billy's way to give a push to his friend. As for Alexander, he groaned in annoyance while he also massaged his stomach. The whole situation was making his stomach upset…

"Take care, Alexander," Kate said. "We will see each other eventually, but I wish you luck."

"Don't play around too much, or you will fall behind the next time we spar," Natalie said.

"We don't know each other for long, but I wish you a safe trip," Sarah said.

"Don't do anything I wouldn't do," Billy said, and then he presented a box in front of Alexander. "Only open this later and only use it inside dungeons. There are some instructions written inside the box about how to use it."

Alexander frowned since he had bl idea what was there, but he nodded. The girls bothered him, asking what was inside, but Billy ignored them. In the end, he said that it was something between men and that only made them feel even more unsatisfied, as expected.

"I hope you do well, Alexander," Lily finally said.

"Lily, I… will become the best archer of our town!" Alexander finally gathered his courage and then said it. "Until then, just wait until I return!"

"Okay…" Lily said while frowning as she watched Alexander running toward the carriage. "I suppose I will have a new rival soon."

Billy facepalmed after he heard that. In the end, that idiot only told her half of what Billy taught him… he didn't even wait to get any reaction. Still, the other girls, aside from Lily, understood what Alexander meant by that. Billy told him that, and if he defeats her and her father in Archery, then they should marry, but as expected, that seemed a bit too forceful. But in the end, not all the message had been understood.

After a while, Alexander recovered from his embarrassment, and he tried to look at his home town from the window of the carriage. Naturally, it looked pretty small from so far away, and it was a sight that he won't see for a while. In any case, Alexander decided to check the large box Billy gave him and then he saw a longbow. Its shape was a bit weird since it seemed like it was made by junctions of many feathers made of steel.

Sagitarian Bow

DeX + 60

Arrow Production effect: at the cost of one point of mana, it grants you the power to summon an arrow.

Meditation Lv 02

Durability: 40/40

There was a letter below it, and in that, Billy wrote how to use the bow and that he had asked for John to hurry and focus on that bow to forge it on time. Alexander thought that one of the effects was a joke. After all, arrows couldn't appear out of nowhere, but then he confirmed it, and it was left speechless. With that kind of power, he certainly could achieve his goals.

"Thank you, Billy," Alexander said. "Now I just have to do it."

The next few days passed rather anticlimactically. Nothing happened, and Billy just took it easy. He heard that the girls began to meet again and train together, but Billy decided to give them some privacy. They sure were talking about things that weren't suited for the ears of a guy. Besides, he didn't want to draw too much jealousy of other guys. A single dude surrounded by four beauties was sure to draw the unwanted attention of other guys.

In any case, while he said that he was taking it easy, Billy just didn't stop and waited in his bed for something to happen. He crossed the town and talked with all the new merchants. He looked for suspicious individuals that could be spies, and he also talked with them about alchemy. He asked them if there was some sort of experimentation with those three fruits. Apparently, there was, but people didn't make much progress. As Billy had thought, they had tried to increase their potency by using herbs and other methods to produce the juice, but it didn't work that much. Billy even asked if there were some books about the research, but the merchants never heard of that. Besides, merchants that sold books were rare.

"I don't remember many methods of making certain liquids more potent. When it comes to beverage, the methods on earth only gave a fake sense of flavor," Billy thought. "Since it is something that directly affects the energy of an individual, I suppose things from back there won't help much."

In the end, Billy assumed that he would have to enhance the tresses to obtain better results. It should be possible since Billy could even make pebbles sturdier. Since the trees will only arrive in a few weeks, Billy couldn't try that yet, so he decided to visit John again. Naturally, he was busy making the equipment for the girls. Speaking of that, Billy decided to get some throwing knives. Ones that he could use over and over again.

"Is that Billy?" John asked. "If you are here for the equipment, they aren't ready yet."

"It is fine," Billy said.. "Instead of that, I was wondering if I could watch the entire process when you began to forge my knives."
