Chapter 11: Finance Problem

"So guys, now what? Hanna, I mean, the fairy told us to awaken the guardians. Where in this world are we going to find them?"

"Calm down Addison. Let's ask Paolo. After all, this is his dream."

"Don't you dare look at me Ramch. I know this is my dream but this is new. I haven't reamt this yet. How will I know what we will do?"

"All right. The better thing to do is find a place to stay for the night. It's getting dark. I see a town right past those sheep."

The gang went to town to find a place to rest. They found an inn and went inside to rest. But they have another problem.

"Oh my god. We have no money! How can we pay for this?"

"Don't worry Pinggoy. You're being too pessimistic. I have money."

"You have your wallet even in your sleep? That's weird Jessie, really weird."

"I know, I sleep with my wallet. So what? Aren't you glad I have it?"

"Fine then. Go on and pay her. I need some rest."

Jessie went up the counter to pay them a room or two to rest in.

"Uhmmm..."

"Is there a problem?"

"Yes. I believe this isn't money."

"What? That's 1,000 pesos. That's more than enough for me to rent this whole inn isn't it?"

"Pesos? What in the world is that? The only money we have is Raon. And you need to pay 50 Raon per room. Whatever this thing is I can't accept it."

With that said, the lady tore up the money Jessie gave.

"Oh my god! You tore my thousand peso bill! Doesn't matter, I have many more!"

Jessie headed to the group to tell them the bad news.

"Guys, looks like we have some problem."

"What is it? You only got us two rooms? It's okay. Four people per room will do. But I need to room with Ramch, Raffy and Addison."

"Looks like we’re not going to sleep here Pinggoy."

"What? I need my beauty sleep and I need it now!"

"Our money is no use here. Their currency here is Raon. Whatever that is we better get some or we'll die of weakness, hunger and everything else money can buy."

"But where will we find that kind of money?"

"I don’t know but we need to find some now."

With that, the gang brainstormed how to make some money. Paolo suggested a lemonade stand, but in order to make lemonade, you have to have money. Pinggoy suggested having a kissing booth. He will be the one to kiss all the boys, and Raffy will kiss all the girls. That didn’t work also because who in their right and even wrong mind would kiss Pinggoy?

"I've got it!"

"What is it Joed?"

"How about we get jobs?"

"Jobs?"

"Yeah, jobs. How about you ask the lady at the counter if they are hiring someone. And ask her if we can sleep here for free in exchange of us being employees."

"Fine. But I'm not the one to work. These hands will not touch anything besides Ian's thing."

The lady agreed and all of them, even Pinggoy, worked at the inn. They were earning 100 Raon per day. They still have to find out how much food was in this world.
