Chapter 189: Delivering Delays
“I got that delivery you asked for, remember?” said Rob, standing in front of the crab holding a small wooden crate full of bottles.
Balthazar stared at the courier with his jaw dropped, his frown expressing utter confusion.
“I literally teleported to this place not even ten minutes ago from across the whole continent! How in the name of meringue did you find me?!”
The mustached adventurer simply shrugged. “Dunno. I just deliver things where I’m told.”
“Where you’re… By whom? By what? How?!” the bewildered crustacean exclaimed, throwing his pincers up.
Rob rolled his eyes. “Look, you want the stuff or not? I got other places to be, other deliveries to make.”
“You do? Because it’s honestly starting to feel like I’m your only client…” Balthazar pinched the space between his eyestalks and let out a resigned sigh. “It’s been a long, chaotic day. I don’t really have time for this argument anyway. Just… give me those.”
“Alright, here you go,” the courier said, putting the crate of bottles down in front of the crab. “Special delivery of pond water, as you requested.”
“Potions of Hydration, if you don’t mind, thank you very much,” said the merchant.
