Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System

Chapter 471 Strolling Through The Shops

The wooded planked boardwalk that was attached to the side of the tree with many bridges leading to different sections spread throughout the city in a network that resembled spiderwebs. I do believe they took their inspiration from spiderwebs or at least I assume as such.

"Get your sap roasted accorns here" Hearing the man yell made my lip twitch. The accorn as the name implies was just an acorn back on earth, but here they added two Cs to the name making it kind of cringy sounding.

"Fresh grilled soppel leaves over here!" This was actually something new. They were leaves yes but they turned sweet when put under heat. If you let them sit for too long they would turn sour. But from the looks of it, this elf had no issues. There was a long line of people waiting.

We kept walking and taking a look at everything they had. We stopped in front of one place that was selling handcrafted hairpins. Elves seemed to have a thing with using sticks carved into different kinds of animals as a way of tying up their hair.

"Oh? Pretty lady, something catch your eye?" I looked up to see a handsome elf looking back at me with a playful smile.

"We are just looking. We do not have this kingdom's currency." I gave the man an apologetic look.

"Haha! No worries, my lady. Everyone here knows everything you buy is on the kingdom. A few guards came to spread the word earlier." The handsome elf replied with a big smile.

I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. I could see the greed in his eyes. But that did not mean I was going to spend money. Having a place to stay for the night was good enough. "Sorry, it's meaningless to buy something for someone with someone else's money. It shows insincerity. If you want me to buy something then allow me to pay in silver."

The handsome elve's expression showed a hint of sorrow and shook his head. "I am sorry. I can not take silver as I will have no way of using it. We elves rarely leave the kingdom and only those who trade with merchants that come will use silver and gold and that is normally only in the border regions. Here in the capital silver is nothing more than a shiny rock to us."

"Well, I guess that is true." I nodded. I understood what he meant. "But shiny rocks are very good too," I replied firmly. After all, I love shiny rocks.

"Yes, Faith loves her shiny rocks." Sophie immediately kicked in. I turned and stuck my tongue out at her. I couldn't help it! It's part of my blood line! Dragons just like shiny objects!

"I see. Well…" The handsome elf reached over and picked up three hairpins. "As they say, when it comes to making friends the best thing is to give a gift."

I stared at the hairpin that was shoved into my hands and looked up at the handsome elf in surprise. "This… we can't take these. You worked so hard on them…."

"Don't worry. I can make them quickly so its no big deal.? Just think of it as a welcoming gift to you. Welcome to our elven kingdom. I do hope you have a good visit." The handsome man bowed his head slightly. I did not understand why he was doing this but I guess I had no choice but to take the hairpin. I smiled and bowed my head as well. "Thank you for your kindness."

Each of us looked at the new hairpins with pleased expression. Mine was actually a dragon which I found amusing. Adel got a cute little cat like monster. I am not sure of the name of it since I have never seen it before. But I had three tails. Sophie got a wolf. Grace got a bird of some kind. It was cute looking though since it had big eyes that kind of made you go 'awe, cute'. These were the most dangerous type of monsters. As for Atolie she got what looked like a turtle. Not sure why. Maybe he thought of her as their guardian?

We said our goodbyes and began looking at other stalls. The night was quite pleasing to be honest. I haven't had this much fun in a long time. Just going out, strolling through a city, window shopping. I wonder when the last time I even got to do something like this. I am glad I decided to do this.

"Stop right there!" A voice echoed behind us. I turned to see a familiar long eared girl walking over when a red face and breathing heavily. "I found you! Finally. How are you able to move around so quickly."

"Princess Runa I think you got it all wrong. We are not moving quickly at all you are just out of shape." I retorted.

"You know me?" Runa looked at me in surprise.

I smiled and nodded my head. "You can say that. But tell me, why are you looking for me?"

"I heard from my father…." I quickly interrupted her. "You eavesdropped on your father…."

"How did you… No! I did not!" Runa yelled out but quickly covered her mouth.

I let out a laugh as Runa puffed her cheeks out. This Runa was different from the one I knew. She still had some baby fat. She was quite cute. "Sorry. I couldn't resist. But anyway. You were eavesdropping on your father and heard about us right."

"Yes, that! Wait.? No!" Runa stomped her feet. I could hear those around us giggling away. I knew Runa was well loved by her people. But I never realized it was like this. The other elves all looked at her with warmth and love. It was as if they were her parents. But with how she looked and acted I can see why. She was a cute and lovable girl.
