Chapter 236 Days of Leisure... Part-3.
The full name of the currency of this world is, \'World Recognized Alliance\'s Unified Currency\' in short they call it \'Alliance Coin\' or simply \'Coin.\'
In today\'s world, they don\'t use \'Physical objects\' as money, all transactions happen via the Internet and there are no physical transactions involved.
This has improved the transaction efficiency by a lot and over the past millennia this technology has spread all over the world extremely fast.
Today, all races recognize this method of transaction and everyone can trade using the same currency, thus there\'s no need to worry about currency exchange.
You can go to any other nation and use the same money to buy the things you need.
International migration is extremely rare in this world but there are always some exceptions.
Some people end up moving to other races and there are no restrictions on this either, as long as the other race is not an enemy you can certainly go there.
So many races have fought for a thousand years from shoulder to shoulder and over time they have overcome racial discrimination for each other.
Technology has advanced by leaps and bounds and basic education is free for everyone, so with an educated mindset obviously people will be able to overcome many difficulties.
Aside from currency, there have been amazing changes in \'Language\' in the past two millennia.
Having several different languages proved to be a problem during the thousand-year-long war and thus, King Allen invited national level Masters of literature from all of the races.
Each of them contributed and eventually, a unified language called \'EzKina\' was created.
All races gave it their approval as everyone took part in its creation and those who didn\'t approve were beaten by King Allen and had to agree to the terms under pressure.
\'EzKina\' received worldwide support and professionals started to spread the language all over the world.
It took a long time to spread the language but after two millennia, now every individual in this world can speak this language.
The local languages have not disappeared but they are as good as dead nowadays.
After all, every official document and every single text found all over the world is now written in \'EzKina\' texts.
Due to free education, everyone got to learn it and now there are no language barriers among all races of the alliance.
You can literally go to any corner of the world and people there will still be speaking in Ezkina.
This is the reason why Lia was able to talk to Miki without any problems earlier.
Lia wasn\'t using any translators, she was able to understand Miki because they were both talking in the same language.
Although translating devices have also been invented, King Allen wanted to unify the world under one platform, he wanted to erase nearly all reasons for hate and discrimination.
His efforts paid off in the end, due to being able to talk the same language, the soldiers cooperated on the battlefields very efficiently and things worked in the favor of the alliance.
Eventually, the war ended and the people were able to enjoy a millennia of peace.
(The reason why the characters\' names sound so random is that they are being translated by the author in English, otherwise, they would have sounded rhythmic in the language of \'EzKina\'.)
(Cough! The author is trying to fill the potholes, so cut him some slack guys... cough!!)

Rhymel, Main Market area.
"Hmm, it\'s a good thing that the same currency is compulsory for the alliance members, it makes buying things so much easier..." (Link)
Link easily swiped his \'Black Card\' and paid for the sweets and candies that Riya bought.
Riya\'s eyes shined in happiness, but instead of eating the candies instantly, she placed them in her space ring.
That was very odd from Link\'s perspective.
"Hmm, are you not feeling okay today? Usually you would have immediately pounced on the candies after getting your hands on them..." (Link)
"I-I am keeping myself on hold right now, I won\'t eat any candies until I am able to enhance my healing capabilities..." (Riya)
"What? Then what about the candy wrappers scattered all over your room in the morning?" (Link)
"I-I threw them all..." (Riya)
Riya wasn\'t lying at all, she hadn\'t eaten a single candy since the day she promised to improve herself.
The reason why dark circles appeared under her eyes was not because she was watching TV all night, it was because she was throwing her candies and was heartbroken by her own actions.
"W-what!?" (Link)
Link hurriedly stretched out his hand and placed it on Riya\'s forehead to see if she was having some problem with her brain or something.
Riya annoyingly pushed his hand away and said:
"Like I promised I won\'t eat candies until I am able to cure \'corruption\', I am not backing out of my promise..." (Riya)
A determined look appeared in Riya\'s eyes. Without Link noticing, Riya had matured significantly over the past month.
\'I can afford to lose candies b-but I can\'t lose you...\' (Riya)
The reason for Riya\'s unwavering motivation is Link, of course, she was unable to save a life and has always been blaming herself for it.
She won\'t be able to sleep peacefully again unless she learns how to cure \'corruption\'.
Not being able to sleep peacefully is also one of the reasons why she has dark circles under her eyes now.
For the sake of even a little bit of improvement, she has even sacrificed her own sleep now.
And even Link was unaware of this fact.
Seeing the rare serious look on Riya\'s face, Link was shocked to the core, but he didn\'t dare refute her.
He could feel that Riya was being serious and it would be too rude to take it as a joke now.
"Uh, you should be moderate with this kind of thing, increasing rank is a slow and steady process… don\'t put too much stress on yourself…" (Link)
Link couldn\'t believe that a day would come when he would be the one to give health advice to Riya who has always been worried about his health before.
This is the first time that Link has to worry about Riya\'s health as she always remained cheerful and happy before, but the incident at Oaklum has shaken her to the core.
The loss of a life right under her care was a great scar for her and it caused her to mature fast.
While Link was thinking about how to lighten the mood, his eyes suddenly fell on a nearby plushy shop.
"Then how about I buy a cute plushy to cheer you up and boost your morale…" (Link)
Link dragged Riya with him to the plush shop and bought a plushy holding a banner with \'Good Luck\' written on it.
The plushy had a cheerful expression as if it was trying to boost the morale of the athletes like a cheerleader.
A slight smile returned to Riya\'s face after seeing the cute-
looking plushy.
"Hehe, I will certainly be able to achieve that higher level of healing capability…" (Riya)
\'With you cheering me on, I think I can do anything in the world Link…\' (Riya)
"Yes! You are the best healer I have ever known!" (Link)
\'Don\'t worry, I will cheer you and help you reach your goals so that you can smile happily once again…\' (Link)
…
A large skyscraper far away.
Roof Top.
"Uh, boss, is it really okay to keep an eye on them like this?"
An elf candidate glanced at the back of the other elf standing near the guard rails, with a troubled look on his face.
The other party simply smirked at that question and said in an amused tone.
"Well, of course, we have to find as much information about the strongest participant of this tournament…"
"We need to gather as much information as possible and provide it to the princess… after all only she is capable of going against that ridiculously strong guy… but even she needs some strategy otherwise she will be in trouble…"
"So are you perhaps thinking of targeting that girl beside him?"
The \'boss\' immediately glared at his subordinate.
"Are you an idiot? Can\'t you see that Link is being so intimate with her, if we plotted something against her, do you think he will spare us?"
"It will be a death match at that point, and I don\'t think anyone among the younger generation can survive a death match against that monstrous guy…"
"Our work is to just gather information, the rest will be left for the princess to decide… If not for her orders I wouldn\'t have wanted to gety involved in this risky plan at all…"
"If he detects us spying on him, we are dead…"
"Also…. Not even the Elf king will be able to face the wrath of his father if something happens to Link… we must remain careful…"
Hearing the criticism from his boss, the young elf nodded his head and went silent.

Author\'s Note.
Yo! It\'s your beloved author here! It seems some people are also keeping an eye on Link too, well can\'t blame them either, Link\'s name carries that much weight after all.
Question of the day.
If given the mission to spy on, who would you rather choose?
1. Link (If he noticed you spying on him, you will become meat paste in a single punch…)
2. Liam (If he notices you spying on him, he will feed you to his wyvern and other lower-level beasts…)
(Moreover, if Ellie is near him, then she will notice your spying activities in an instant…)
3. Rio (Don\'t bother even choosing him as your target, it\'s near impossible for you to even detect him in the first place and he can easily find you out…)
