The three of them arrived at Joana's store a while later.
Belle curiously looked around as it was her first time coming here. George on the other hand was very relaxed compared to Belle.
On the other hand, Ban noticed that Eva had become sulky again. There was a frown on her face as she stared at the store in front of them. However, compared to before, her attitude was more laid back this time. She was just feeling angry that they were now back at Joana's store again.
However, her expression immediately brightened as she noticed that the store was closed for the day.
Ban was also surprised by that as he did not expect Joana's store to be closed. He has a lot of items in his possession right now after all and it's kind of disappointing that he won't be able to sell them right away.
He felt sad that he won't be getting any Gold Coins from selling any Beast parts today. It looks like he would just settle for the Quest rewards for now.
Ban turned around and went towards Carmen's store instead. He planned to ask if she knew where Joana went and when she would come back.
However, it was still the same as Carmen was also not there. Her store was closed as well, just like Joana's.
"Leon? Why don't you just sell the Beast parts to the Adventurers Guild? With your Gold Badge, they would surely make an exemption and buy them with a high price, provided that they know the Beast parts as well as their uses..." Belle asked curiously.
"Well, I already made a deal with Joana and it won't be good if I go back against it. And besides, I already checked before and Joana's buying my stuff for reasonable prices, more reasonable than what the Adventurers Guild are offering…" he explained.
Belle nodded her head as she went silent again. She kept on thinking about what this Joana girl looked like. She could not help but want to compare herself to her. She wondered who's prettier and sexier between the two of them. She also could not help but feel jealous, knowing that she had already interacted with Leon before.
Ban turned his head towards Belle and said, "Can I borrow this Storage Pouch for the time being? I will return it once I managed to sell all the Beast parts to Joana."
"No problem Leon. You can have it. I have plenty of those in my room. They were given to me by my father as a gift." Belle said with a smile.
"It's alright, I'll return it to you tomorrow. Where can I find you around this time?"
"Well, if you can go to our home then better. You can just tell the carriage drivers that you would be going to the Guard Commander's home and they would surely send you there without fail."
"I see, I'll think about it… Aside from that, do you know any place that we can meet? Or we can just settle here or in the Adventurers Guild instead." Ban said.
"I don't like the atmosphere of the Adventurers Guild, the Adventurers are always looking at our every move and it's kind of frustrating…"
"How about we just met here tomorrow instead? You can sell the Beast parts during that time and then give me the Storage Pouch right after…"
However, the real reason why she wanted to meet him here tomorrow was actually because of the fact that she wants to see this Joana girl in person.
"Alright then…" Ban agreed.
As they no longer have anything to do in the Adventurers Market, they finally decided to call it a day. It was also getting dark already as well and Belle still needs to report everything to her father once she reaches home.
Belle wanted to hire George's carriage to transport her to her home so that Leon might also go along. Unfortunately, the moment they left the Adventurers Market, the personal carriage driver of her father was already waiting for her outside.
She clicked her tongue as her plan had once again failed. She glared at the Inner Guard on duty earlier as she was sure that it was him who reported her location to her father or his subordinates.
Belle could not do anything as she boarded the luxurious carriage that especially fetched her. She could only wave her tiny hands toward Leon as the carriage slowly drove away.
George heaves a sigh of relief seeing the little demoness moving away. He could finally take a breather without the fear of being on her bad side with only a single mistake.
"Where do you want to go this time, Mr. Leon?" He asked.
"To the public library…" Ban answered without hesitation. He only borrowed the book for a day and he planned on paying again for a longer period. One day wasn't just enough reading all of the matters regarding sex and relationships.
He also planned on borrowing more books so that he won't need to return there every now and then.
George nodded his head as he fetched his parked carriage. He then returned a while later and let Ban board the carriage before George ordered his Swift Snail to move towards the public library.
After a while, Ban disembarked the carriage and immediately walked towards the entrance of the public library. He did not pay George anything yet as he planned on paying him in bulk later.
Ban went straight to that section and took the books that he was interested in reading. He also took the book titled, 'Sex Jokes' and other sex related matters book.
He also took a book title,'Hidden Meanings' as he felt intrigued about it.
He then went towards the librarian and informed her about the books he rented yesterday and the books he wanted to rent now.
Ban looked over her desk and he also noticed the book that she was reading earlier was also about sex.
He could not help but nod his head towards her. He then recalled the phrase that the carriage driver said to him before,
'So you're a man of culture as well…'
