Chapter 142 - New Looks In The Town

"Mhm. Good disciple."

Floriana Sabina smiled in satisfaction.

"We should head back to the town."

Rant Valo said to them.

"Yes. It has been 6 days already. Tomorrow is the Sect Tournament."

Floriana Sabina agreed with Rant Valo.

"What about my clone?"

Rant Valo asked. If he brought his clone with them, he would be the center of attention.

"Hmmmm…"

Floriana Sabina held her chin in thought. He was right, it would be a problem if someone asks about his clone.

"Why don't Master say that it's his twin brother?"

Veia suddenly said from the side. Twin brothers look similar to each other anyway. There shouldn't be any problem using that as an excuse.

"But we're still gonna get recognized."

Rant Valo said to her. They were already seen by many people when Floriana Sabina killed Nawa Jared.

"A mask. We can use a mask."

Floriana Sabina got an idea.

"Do you have one, Master Floriana?"

Rant Valo asked her.

"I don't, Disciple."

Floriana Sabina replied, downcast. It's not like she has any reason to bring masks with her.

"We can't even buy one…"

Rant Valo said to them. They could have sneaked into the town and bought masks but since they don't have any money with them that they can use, then it'll just be impossible.

"Hahh…"

Veia released a sigh.

"Is there any other way?"

Floriana Sabina held her chin in thought. She looked up to the sky and watched the clouds changing shape.

"Clouds? Change shape?"

Floriana Sabina thought out loud. Clouds change shape with the wind and that gives them a new appearance…

"Ah!"

Floriana Sabina exclaimed. She just had an 'aha' moment.

"Disciple, why don't we change our appearances?"

Floriana Sabina said to him. Once they change their appearances, they wouldn't have to wear a mask or worry about being caught. It was the best solution of all.

"That's a great idea, Master Floriana!"

Rant Valo was impressed by her. She quickly came up with a solution.

"Fufufu! Of course! I'm Floriana Sabina, the Youngest Saintess in the world!"

Floriana Sabina laughed smugly and boasted.

"Yes, yes. Master Floriana is the Youngest Saintess."

Rant Valo repeated her words with a smile on his face.

"You know how to praise me, Disciple."

Floriana Sabina returned him a smile.

"Grandmaster is the best!"

Veia joined in. She was also thinking hard but as always, it was Floriana Sabina that was able to think of a solution.

"Thank you, Veia."

Floriana Sabina smiled at Veia. She was really happy to be praised.

"Let's go to the town!"

Rant Valo shouted.

…

Several hours later, they stood in front of the town. Their appearances were very different from earlier.

Floriana Sabina had her hair done in a ponytail. She was wearing a pink robe with flower designs instead of her white dress. It was like she was wearing a yukata.

Rant Valo and his clone were wearing a silk black robe. Their hair was also done in a ponytail. They look like samurais from a japanese movie.

As for Veia, she was wearing a yellow robe. Her hair was also done in a ponytail. Though, it was hidden as she had a cloth veiling her face. Together, they can be called the Four Ponytail Team.

"We look very different. They shouldn't notice."

Rant Valo said to them with nervousness. Even he didn't trust his own words, and he was only saying it to ease his own nerves. His clone silently followed them from behind.

"Don't worry, Disciple. We'll run away if they recognize us."

Floriana Sabina reassured him.

"Isn't your style, 'To dominate' or something?"

Rant Valo looked at her with a deadpan expression.

"Ahahaha…"

Floriana Sabina looked away and laughed dryly.

"What are we even gonna do in the town? We don't even have money to spend."

Rant Valo suddenly realized. The Sect Tournament would occur tomorrow so they would have to wait for a day.

"I have a plan, Disciple!"

Floriana Sabina said to him with a cheeky smile.

…

"This is your plan?"

Rant Valo asked Floriana Sabina impassively. They were currently washing dishes inside a kitchen. The four of them were standing in front of sinks as they washed the plates.

"Yes! We work here then we can use the payment to sleep in a small inn later for the night."

Floriana Sabina nodded her head proudly. As expected of her, she was always thinking of solutions.

"Master, this plate has a stubborn stain."

Veia passed the stained plate to Rant Valo. He accepted it and inspected it.

"Ah, for this one, you press your finger on the sponge and scratch it hard. It will come off. See."

Rant Valo demonstrated to her. He was experienced with this kind of stuff since he was always taking care of himself alone in the village.

"Oh, so that's how you do it."

Floriana Sabina was standing in the center and she watched Rant Valo demonstrate it to Veia who was on the far right. As for Rant Valo's clone, it was silently washing dishes beside Rant Valo.

"Wait, what have you been doing before?"

Rant Valo looked at her suspiciously. If she wasn't doing that, then how was she able to remove the stains stuck on the plate?

"I'm burning it to ashes."

Floriana Sabina answered in a matter of fact manner.

"... How many plates did you break?"

Rant Valo looked at her with his peering eyes.

"Uh… t-two…"

Floriana Sabina answered nervously and avoided his eyes.

"You breaking the plates is costing us our salary!"

Rant Valo admonished her. Even if she only broke two plates, plates are still expensive to replace especially in the restaurant that they are working for.

…

Nighttime arrived and Rant Valo's group walked out of the restaurant.

"Phew. We're finally done."

Rant Valo sighed. After a long while of scrubbing and washing greasy plates, they had finally finished their shift. The boss of the restaurant paid them 1 gold coin each. It was a high salary, but since it was an expensive restaurant, it was only natural that they pay such a high price.
