Summary of the previous chapter:
Discovered that the points given for character creation differs fro everyone's skill and realizing Haruka was superior, the 3 of them headed towards a town
We walked for about an hour while Haruka filled us in on this world's general knowledge
We had reached the gate of a town covered by walls by then
It's about a little shorter than 3up blocks and filling in the gaps by plaster or so
The walls curved and stretched out for quite soe town?
The gate was a two-leaf door and it looked like they were made with sturdy trees The doors ide open at the es could go in or out at once and since there weren't ht now, it seeate, there were several soldiers standing by, equipped with spears a bit longer than their height and a sword on their waists
”Well then, let's go I will deal with theht? You don't have any general knowledge, after all”
””…Understood””
I e' and all but when you say it like that, it sounds like we lack coether, doesn't it?
I didn't say anything, though, 'cause I do think it would be better to leave it to her
”hello~”
Haruka went and greeted a youngthe soldiers ere dealing with people entering the town
That perfect business srabbed the soldier's attention
Although her proportions took a small hit, her beauty has increased!
I can say for sure that I would have been fooled myself had I not been her childhood friend
”Ahh, hello Umm, you lot are… adventurers, perhaps?”
The man surveyed us 3 and tilted his head in puzzleistered but we do plan on doing so”
”Is that so? It see a weapon either…”
”Yes, the thing is, we accidentally lost our wallets in the previous town… We had to sell theet travel expenses to reach here It doesn't seeht ould be fine with just our ot 2 elves Well, do you have enough for the tax? It's one large silver coin per person And according to the rules, you can't really put it on your 'tab' either…”
While the man did nod in consent, he sounded worried — only towards Haruka, of course It seehtbut it's also kind of nice in a sense and so I will bear it for now
”Yes, if it's that much then we can somehow make it”
Haruka answered and handed over the tax for all 3 of us after gathering the the required amount was in there, the soldier smiled with a nod and moved to the side to let us in
”Yep, received I think you'll be fine if you can use erous”
”Thank you very much”
Haruka smiled cheerfully and bowed We also iate
”Ah–you lot!”
After just a few steps inside, a call ca us stop in our tracks
Haruka's face becaed to a smile and turned back
”Uht? At the plaza ahead, there's a inn called 'Napping Bear' on the right side — I recommend it! Also, my na!”
The soldier finished saying with an ah it ht have a little to do with… well, ood looks
I aze is completely fixated on her
And to be honest, the state I am in now, I don't really have the leeway in my mind to deal with these
”Thank you very much We will consider it!”
Haruka dealt with it flawlessly till the end while To our best to not make a stiff expression
This raises ain and keptfor about 10 lances with each other and let out a big sigh of relief
”Haa~~ I, didn't say anything but, that was nerve-wracking”
”Right?! Really~~ We would have definitely been viewed as suspicious beings if not for Haruka!”
I looked at the others going through the gate but couldn't spot anyone else like us, wearing just norhtly armed people had leather clothes on with a small sack on their back and at least a knife on their waists
Even if one were to consider our state with just that, ould stand out as ere outside the town coh it wasn't really a good excuse and he ht doubt us a bit, it will all be probably fine if we just diligently go about being an adventurer without causing any probleet turned away froate?”
”More or less, yeah If you aren't clearly a criminal and pay the tax, you will be able to enter Therequestioned for a long ti and stuff You can co us over this hurdle, you know?”
”As expected of Haruksan!”
”Haruksan, so cool!”
Haruka puffed up with pride and we also got elated and kept praising her After which, we exchanged glances and had a laugh
All the tensed up feelings have become loose now that we have reached a safe place–
Grrr~~~~
”Oh Hahaha, I'rowled
Seeave a wry laugh while scratching his head
”Right, it's also about noon so that's perfect Let's buy food and head towards the recommended inn”
Now To quite hungry as well
Err, let's see… Before I died, I had breakfast in thelunch… No, I have a different body now so maybe that doesn't even ht?”
”Yep, we're fine in that sector Although, the norht from carts and the like”
”That's still better than just 2o and see what this world has to offer us~~~”
”…I do think it would be best for you to not expect anything, though”
