Infront of a gate which led to a luxurious two story Manor, stood the old mayor that Leo and the others had met
His expression now lacking the sarcastic smile and contempt it once held when he was looking at the group of " strays "
As he spoke flatteringly towards the two burly guards standing before him
" I have something important to report to our lord " said the Mayor, his head bowed not daring to meet the gaze of the guards
" wait here " said one of the guards before he turned and left
A few minutes later, the guard returned with a maid who glanced at the mayor before she spoke
" the Lord will see you now, folllow me and don't touch anything " said the maid as she led him through the gate towards the manor
Taking him through a door used by the servants leading him through the manor towards the top floor. Coming before two large doors, at least 10 feet tall
The maid knocked on the doors gently before stepping back. A few minutes later, the door was opened from the inside and a mask figure stood in the doorway, their body towering above the maid and the mayor. Looking at the silently before moving to the side, inviting the mayor inside
Inside the large room which looked like a large office, with several bookcases along the walls
Instead of a desk in the centre, was a large luxurious chair. On it sat a 30 year old man, dressed in luxurious clothing, hugging two scantily clad women. His head within one of their cleavage
" you know the consequences of wasting my time. So what is it " said the man not moving his head, causing the woman to giggle
" Lord Abraham, today they were 2 strange serfs in the group that joined today " explained the mayor, not daring to raise his head incase he saw the 2 women. Something which would cost him his life
" oh? Strange how? " asked Abraham who finally raised his head and looked at the mayor
" I'm sure they're both apprentice knights and the boy, he didn't have any awe towards the guards or myself. I think he may be a fallen noble " said the Mayor as the figures of Leo and Rebecca flashed in his mind
" a fallen noble huh? Interesting " thought Abraham as he started groping the women beside him

Leo suddenly sat up, his eyes widening as he looked at his surroundings in a daze. Hearing slight snoring, he glanced to the side finding Rebecca laying beside him, asleep seemingly having a good dream
Seeing her, memories of yesterday returned to his mind causing him to release a sigh as he got out of bed, glancing at the sky through the window, finding that it was still dark out. The only light being the large moon
" so it wasn't a bad dream " muttered Leo as he checked his panel, to see how many points he had, this being his only way to keep track of time in this world
' 7 hours huh ' thought Leo. This means that a day here is definitely more than 24 hours. He shook away the sleepiness as he remembered what happened after they made the trap
**
They headed back to her tarp and took everything of use, including the potatoes, roasted some to eat and made their way back home, intending to hide the remainder
After they entered the village, they finally met the people who lived in the larger houses closer to the mayor. Carrying fish by the net fulls, by his estimation at least 20-40kg of fish per person.
Their chest raised with clear pride as they paraded their catches through the village towards the Mayor's house to record their catches for the week
Those with fishing rods, 5-10kg. While not comparable to those with nets, still much better than those who joined today with him
Most of which had nothing to show for. Himself included but that was to be expected.
' unless some miracle happens, most of these people won't be able to catch 100kg of fish ' he thought before he shook his head. It wasn't his business nor did he intend to make it his business.
By the time they had made it home, the sun had finally set. With nothing else to do, they simply went to bed
**
' fairness is nothing more than the idea of a child ' thought Leo as he woke Rebecca so they could leave the village and get breakfast then check the trap to see how it did
Attributes are one thing but physical proof is another thing
" wake up " said Leo as he shook her slightly only to see the girl shoot out of bed looking around with a warily look before her gaze locked unto Leo, seeing him stare at her strangely
" cough...what's wrong " asked Rebecca, obviously trying to change the subject, turning her face to the side trying to hide her embarrassment
" let's go " said Leo as he turned to leave not mentioning the girls actions which caused her to breathe a sigh of relief as she followed him out of the house
Leo wasn't surprised by her reaction. He didn't think one day would suddenly change anything which is why he kept silent
What did surprise him were hoe many people were already up at this time. The village was bustling compared to how deserted it was before.
As people made their way out of the village towards their designated fishing spots. Seeing this, he pulled Rebecca and hurried towards their own
After getting to the spot, having made sure no one was following them
He walked into the river, shivering slightly from the chill of the water, walking towards where he placed the trap and bent down to lift it
Stumbling slightly as the sudden weight caught him off guard, feeling this, he started smiling as he shouted towards Rebecca
" clear a spot, I think we have a good catch " said Leo as he started walking towards the sure, trap in hand
Rebecca took out the tarp which she brought with her and placed it on the ground, a few feet away from the river bank, before turning her attention to the trap in Leo's hand, her eyes locking unto the fluttering fish
Placing the trap on the ground carefully, Leo focused his gaze on it

" hahaha " Leo burst into laughter as he hugged Rebecca who was beside him twirling her around, not noticing the girls frozen expression as he put her down and walked back to the trap, before he opened it and poured fish out onto the trap
" we have 25kg here, we're already an 8th of the way complete. We'll definitely have extra fish to buy other stuff. Maybe even get you a bow " said Leo before glancing at Rebecca finally noticing her expression
" Rebecca? "
" Rebecca!! " Leo shouted trying to get her to snap out of her daze. Only for her to react when he touched her shoulder
" what? " asked Rebecca as she looked at him in confusion before she saw the pile of fish on the ground and rushed towards it
" .....25kg " replied Leo, confused about the girls reaction. What he didn't notice was the embarrassed expression adorning the girls face after she squatted down in front of the fish
" what do we do now? " asked Rebecca, not turning her head " will we make more traps or upgrade this one some more "
" I'm not sure " replied Leo as he walked beside her, reaching out to touch the trap before he spoke " let's see if the next improvement is worth it, if it's not. I'll improve all the ones after this to this level " said Leo after thinking for a bit
The two watched as the trap started shining causing them to have to squint. A minute later the trap, now took on a metallic look, but judging from the grain pattern, he found that it was still wood
