Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 204

Chapter 204: Unexpected Encounter
“Do you need help carrying them?” Sophia asked after she had finished recording the supplies that Riya bought and returned the card back. She felt that after the world changed, her status and Riya’s status seemed to change.

Riya became the rich person while Sophia could barely makes her ends meet.

Well, her family was still pretty rich, though.

The resources they have obtained and exchanged could be used for them to live comfortably in the base. But Sophia also wanted to make her contributions, so she asked for work and finally obtained this work.

“There’s no need.” Riya shook her head and then waved her hand. These items immediately disappear.

Sophia was stunned. “This…”

“Space storage scroll.” Riya smiled and then handed one to Sophia. “This one is for you.”

“Eh? I can’t…”

“You have given me a lot of things.” Sophia frowned when she saw the space storage scrolls that Riya handed to her.

“You give me a lot of jade before.” Riya shrugged and then said, “Besides, I want to know if your family had more medicine? I… don’t have a lot of medicine and vitamin in my hand.”

When Riya was collecting resources, she forgot to buy medicine and vitamin. Well, she did buy them but only a few. Afterwards, she only collected the resources from a few places and there were not many medicines there.

Since Sophia’s family was a family of medicine, they have a lot of stocks.

“I have some.” Sophia smiled and said, “How many do you need?”

“Just these…” Riya thought for a moment and wrote down the list of medicine that she might need in the future.

After all, being a magician doesn’t mean that her body would never get sick anymore.

She might be a bit stronger to a certain degree but it didn’t mean that she was invincible.

If she didn’t take care of herself well, she might still get sick.

“Okay. I have those all.” Sophia nodded and then looked at Riya. “But the value of this space storage scroll…”

“I can make them as many as I want, so you don’t have to worry.” Riya thought for a moment and then added, “When I can make a better one, I’ll give you one.”

Sophia: “…”

She looked at Riya speechlessly and then raised her hand to pinch Riya’s cheek. “Now you have become very capable, huh?”

“Ahhh, don’t pinch me!”

Sophia laughed and then patted the space storage scrolls. “Then I’ll accept this. Thank you, Riya.”

“Hey, it’s nothing much.” Riya shook her head and then slipped away in case Sophia wanted to pinch her cheek again. She felt that it would be better to keep a distance from Sophia.

“Also, you need mana to use the space storage scroll. So don’t forget to meditate. And it’s not a binding equipment, so you have to be careful of showing it in front of others.”

“…I know.” Sophia looked at the space storage scroll and sighed to herself. This was truly a hot potato and she had to be careful.

Should she give it to her brother instead?

If Sophia was not wrong, her brother might need it more than her.

After that, Riya patted Melly once more and then walked out of the store.

While it might be comfortable to stay inside, she wanted to pay a visit to the research institute first.

Ruby should be there too.

After Riya walked out, Sophia shook her head and looked at the space storage scroll in front of her. She really felt that Riya had changed and no longer the same young kid as back then.

Perhaps, there would come a day where Riya would reach a rank that far surpassed them….

Could they still be friends at that time?

While Sophia didn’t think that Riya was a person who cared about their background’s status when making friend, but she didn’t really want their gap with each other to be too big.

Because she would be the one feeling uncomfortable.

It would feel as if she was taking advantage of her friend.

‘Was it their feeling when they communicate with me before?’ Sophia thought of her other friends in the past and sighed.

Even though her family would still be able to stand tall because of their resources and her brother had also become a magic warrior, but Sophia knew that it was something that belonged to her family and not her.

She never had high ambition.

After all, she never expected that things would change so much like this to the point that the entire world’s pattern had changed.

*Bark!*

Melly sensed Sophia’s low mood and barked.

“I’m fine, Melly.” Sophia rubbed Melly’s head and looked at the entrance of the store. She didn’t really want to be lagging behind but expecting her to work hard like others did… it was also difficult.

Looking at Melly in front of her, Sophia whispered to herself, “Should I really take that path?”

The magic scroll that Riya gave to her was still kept carefully.

If she wanted to use it, she only needed to tear it.

But right now, Sophia really couldn’t make up her mind to use the magic scroll and formed a contract with Melly.

…

Riya walked out of the store and ignored the onlookers outside. They couldn’t see what happened inside the store, so they didn’t know that Riya was able to put her things in her space.

In their opinion, Riya was only there to take advantage of the cool temperature.

“Riya?”

Riya heard someone calling her and turned her head. Upon seeing the face that looked a bit similar to her but much older, her expression turned cold.

Even though she shovel have expected that there was a chance for her to see her relatives again in the future…

She didn’t expect that she would see them in this place.

“Mrs. Thompson,” Riya greeted with a polite smile on her face, controlling her emotions. “It’s been a while.”
