"Why are we going to market?" asked Rachel asked after we got out of the Abode, "We have to buy few things that are necessary to raise our strength," I replied, to which she opened her mouth to say something but closed it as no words came out of my mouth.

We walked silently toward the market and the scene I saw was three times bigger than yesterday, I had expected that the market will grow bigger but I didnt think it will grow this in just a single night.

Unlike yesterday, today humans and the Grimm monster had connected the markets just like they did in the Garden but the scale is huge and security of it is very tight.

I could see the guards from the human side and Grimm patroling heavily, there reach the even in the slight argument that occurred between the people of the two races.

This market is power keg near the fire, just a slight mistake and that powder keg would blast apart. If the battle happened then hundreds of thousands, even millions of people would die.

Yesterday there were barely a few thousand people were on the human side but now they have become near million and it will keep increasing in six days, so both side didnt want anything to happen to jeopardize their lives because, in just big battle where millions of people would involve, even strongest person would fall if enough people attack him.

The fees for setting shop are quite hefty and if not for me getting a 50% discount due to belonging to S class Class guild, I would have also felt the pinch.

After setting up the shop, I connected my holowatch to the market server and published the list of things I want in the name of my shop, I've even projected the list on the projector of my shop, so now I just have to sit and wait for herbs to come to me.

"All of these herbs you are asking for either rare or very rare, if not for being in the Ruin, it would be very hard to get hands-on such rare herbs outside." Said Rachel read the numbers of the herbs I want to buy.

Yes they are very rare herbs and outside the big organizations, guilds, and adventurers Paradice buy them at the high price, so it is only in this place I would able to get hands-on such rare herbs and medicine, outside they would disappear as soon as they appear in the market.

"If I am not wrong then you should be concocting potions with them right?" asked Rachel, as expected someone from the Alchemical organization.

"Yes, I have come across some soul, body, and vitality strengthening formulas" I answered but next moment, I found both of them being shocked and Rachel even put her fair hands on my mouth.

I am surprised by her sudden action and wanted to ask why she did that but I didnt as I saw a girl coming across our shop.

"Do you have the white river peach?" asked the girl, "Yes I have but I will only exchange it with the things I need," I said as I motioned toward the projection of herbs that I activated.

"You need this right." said the girl and took out herb she wished to exchange, I nodded and change the herbs with the girl, there was no hassle in the transaction as the herb she brought was that of equal value.

"Micheal dont mentions the word 'strengthening potion' in front of other people or you will be in big trouble." Whisper Rachel, Sophia also nodded with a serious face.

I nodded, I don't need to be an idiot to understand the gravity of their words, I already expected that Strenthning Potions are very rare as I have not heard of them even in Grimm battlefield.

So, I was already very cautious as I not only posted for the herbs of Strenthning solution but other herbs that are important as well.

The people kept coming to my shops every few seconds, some exchange with the herbs I have while others asked for the robot parts and other things I have.

To get these herbs, I have offered the wide range of exchanges with stuff I have that even Rachel and Sophia became wide-eyed seeing the amount of stuff I have.

I want to tell them that this the least of the important stuff I have if I told them about the Knowledge crystal, large check soul tempering diamond, mysterious ring and the storage spaces I got from killing a shit load of Grimm monsters, they would be shocked of their mind.

They also may have important stuff but I dont think they would be compared to me.

Sometime later, Rachel and Sophia started to pay for the stuff from their things, I said no to them but they had insisted after asking me which herbs are for strengthening potion.

"Sophia why dont you go and buy the herbs from the shops, this way we would be able to get out of the market early?" I asked Sophia which my usual voice but there is an intense excitement in my heart.

"You are right, let's go, Rachel," said Sophia, hearing that I like I got punched in the gut. I had made this plan when we coming for the market and waited for the perfect moment to ask this question but Sophia foiled it all again.

I just wanted to some alone time with Rachel so I could ask her about the morning, seeing her behavior I just wanted to curse her bad.

I covertly held Rachel's hand but she easily pulled away from my grip and went away with Sophia while giving me a teasing smile.

Rachel's behavior is really confusing; since that kiss in the morning she would sometime act close, sometimes distance, her mixed signals are confusing to me and felt no less than torture and the worst thing is she is doing it deliberately doing all this to the intention of torturing and me who had a hopeless crush on her couldnt even get angry at her.

Alone in the shop, I tend the people who came for the exchange and shooed way those who wanted to buy the stuff I am but did not have anything I want. These people come to my despite the clear note on projection saying that I want exchange stuff only with the things that are projected.

While I was tending the shop, a tiny incident occurred between the Grimm monster and human, though the auguman was small, it had brought hundreds of guards from both sides in just a few seconds.

It didnt takes a minuit for a matter to be resolved but brought the whole market to the attraction as people from both sides have touched their weapons ready fight in case fight broke out.

About two hours later, Rachel and Sophia came back with lots of herbs that we needed and I also finished buying all the herbs I needed to buy, so I closed the shop and went back to abode with potion materials of all seventeen potions.
