As I enter the shower I notice that Aqua left a lot of her bottles open again on top of the sink and as usual I'm forced to close them and put them in the medicine cabinet.

In the past, the only thing that she would buy would be shampoo because she would claim that a goddess like her didn't need anything else.

And yet here she is cluttering the sink with all kinds of creams perfumes and scented oil.

"What does this say?" I said as I picked up a bottle that had what looked like some kind of flower on the label.

"Rose-scented shower oil guaranteed to make you smell like roses, don't mind if I do."

As I turn on the shower and get in I notice that the water isn't exactly hot but it's not cold either so I guess you can call that a win.

Night City is a place where you have to pay for everything, and when I mean everything I mean everything.

If you want to use a public bathroom guess what you have to pay,

What if you paid for your water bill and want to do the laundry well sorry to tell you this but your water bill only covers the parts of your house that are the bathroom and kitchen and maybe if you have a yard or something that's outside it covers out there too.

The thing is that if people can force you to pay for something they will, which is where Aqua and I come in.

One of the jobs people hire us to do is, fix their appliances so that they can continue to use them even after they are supposed to automatically turn off.

It's illegal and if we're caught we will be fined or taken to jail but it helps pay the bills and the rent.

As I turn off the water I hear Aqua putting the bottles of water in the crates.

As I listen to her humming to herself, I can't help but remember that the reason that we are even carrying the crates is that she insists on giving them away for free.

I tried to tell her that we could make a lot of money but she refused to put a price tag on her water and in the end, I had no choice but to give up.

Luckily for me, I can still charge people for taking the things to them, even if they come to pick the crates up from our apartment, it's a long walk to the door so they have to pay for making me walk so much.

As I walk out of the bathroom I see Aqua standing by the door waiting for me, the moment she sees me is the moment she opens the front door and starts to push the crates out of the door with her feet.

I follow her outside and use my tablet to lock the door behind us.

"Hie." Aqua cheerfully greets all of the homeless people that are sitting in the hallway.

The group of men wave at her and say good morning before they turn and nod at me.

"Ready ?" I said to Aqua who just smiles before nodding.

The person that ordered the crate of water is someone that lives somewhere between the rich side of the city and whatever area is that's between it and where our apartment building is.

As we walk down we're forced to kike the bags of trash that are blocking the stairs so that we can walk down and leave the building.

My legs burn after having to kike so much but at least we finally made it out and even as the light of the sun nearly blinds me I can't help but look at the city.

It's just as amazing as the day I first saw it.

Unfortunately, everything I see is just out of reach because unless I have a lot of money I'm never going t be able to pay for any of the amazing things here.

I watch as Aqua hands a bottle of water to a man that looks as if a train ran over him, after a little while she hands a pair of bottles to a woman and a little boy that look sick.

I watch as she hands one of several bottles to people who either look sick or injured until we reach the train stop.

Once we enter the train the two of us lean on the walls and watch the city pass us by before we have to get out again.

We finally reach our destination and we stop walking because the building is on fire.

I put my crate down and before I take out my tablet and try to call the person that ordered the crate but unfortunately the message that the tablet says is that the person I'm trying to contact is no longer available.

"Greate," I said to myself as I sit on the street and watch the police tell people to stay away.

"What's wrong?" Aqua asked me.

'I tried calling the guy that ordered it and not available anymore." I answered her.

"So he's dead." Aqua said bluntly.

"Yeah, so we came all the way here for nothing." I answered Aqua who sat next to me.

"So do we have any other jobs to do today?" Aqua asks me and I check to see if there's anything and to my surprise, there is one more message.

"Yeah, it says that" I began to say to Aqua but before I can finish the building in front of us exploded with a loud boom.

Because of the explosion mage, we both knew in the other world an explosion like this one wouldn't affect us.

"Let's get out of here, I'll tell you on the way," I said to Aqua before we picked up the crates of water and we began to walk toward our next job.

"The message says that someone needs us to take a box somewhere, it's a simple delivery job pick something up in point a and leave it on point b."
