Alice In Another World's

Chapter 04: Two People With Different Paths

Although the celebration will be a little late, it is better than failing completely.

Catrine was carrying a dark horse at a steady speed while I placed a dagger on her back.

"If you fuck around, I'll stab."

"Why are you so cruel! I told you I'd give up anyway."

We will visit the nearest city where the chili has been sold, we intend to buy it back even though the price has doubled now.

Arriving there we went down the main road before descending to meet a spice merchant.

It still exists and looks good too.

"Sorry uncle, we want to buy back all the chili, of course at the price that uncle offers."

"Is there a problem?"

As I was about to open my mouth, Catrine immediately closed my mouth and said.

"I forgot that this whole chili has been ordered by a village for a celebration, I'm sorry."

He had hidden himself as a bandit.

"If you guys want to buy it, it'll make me a profit, too, I don't mind."

"We're very helped."

In the end we rented a car to carry the chili we bought, including other additions such as fruits and meat.

I think it ended well.

One day the next a festive festival had been held, I received a payment for this incident.

"If they mess you can directly report them to the authorities."

"We don't think it's necessary anymore."

These bandits are all victims of a village that was attacked by a monster a few years ago, they follow Catrine to survive.

It's hard to blame them for what happened. All I can do now is enjoy whatever this celebration has to offer.

Red chili soup, smoldering chili meat and chili satay, you will faint after seeing how they made it that red.

I ordered it accompanied by a glass of milk, this drink that must be there when someone eats spicy food.

"Good meal."

I was able to enjoy the excitement that this village held two days later with many dances and souvernir, I once asked about the existence of magic that sent someone to a faraway place but they shook their head.

So I will continue on without the slightest clue I can get, I left the village riding White back, next to me is Catrine on her dark horse.

We only walked together for a while before meeting the crossroads.

"So you're still going to be a bandit?"

"That's how I thought I'd be a good bandit."

I tilt my head confused.

"It was a bandit who would steal the money of corrupt officials and pass it on to everyone in need."

I honestly don't want to interfere too much with his wishes.

"Hopefully lucky."

"Well Alice, can we meet again somewhere?"

"Come on, but I'll still decide to go."

"so."

I can't guess what will happen in the future, which is clear adventure will always have meetings and partings like this.

Even though I found her magic I have no intention of leaving anytime soon.

We both turned around and moved away from each other.

I secretly wondered what kind of place would await me next, compared to my previous life, this was much more fun.

In the evening I made a simple tent near the river. I have made a bonfire with fish meat being roasted.

I actually wanted to eat something else but I had already spent my supplies before, the money from the proceeds of selling my clothes was 100 coins left. Although there are some additional silver coins it does not look big.

"I want to soon maybe fill the supplies again."

After three days of traveling far away I arrived at a new country than before, the country had a striking appearance, they were all wearing taper shoes.

I walked while holding my horse by hand.

"Yo miss, you must be from the outside, must be a traveler... If you want, you can buy these shoes?"

"Not to."

"Miss take these shoes, you must have run out of money."

What's wrong with these people.

The shoes are not made of leather or other synthetic materials but wood that looks quite heavy.

"Are these shoes mandatory when entering the country?"

"Of course not, most of them wear them out of their own will, after all for us these shoes are like a talisman themselves."

"A fetish?"

"The country was almost destroyed by hunger, but thanks to these shoes we survived."

"In short, you make these shoes for sale and you wear them to buy food."

"You must be a smart girl, it happens like that but if you now just assume that his shoes give you luck."

It's something applied in this country then I don't need to complain about anything, which obviously I refuse to wear.

I was lucky that in this country there was also coffee, I was sitting in a chair outside the cafe when the waiter came to put my order.

"You're not going to throw me out because I'm not wearing shoes like you are."

"Of course not, how cruel it would be if someone did it."

"I'm saying it because a lot of people have offered it."

The waiter laughed.

"They just do it because it's not uncommon for someone to wear shoes that are different from the ones they often see."

I just realized that everyone is wearing the same shoes.

"Some travelers directly buy the shoes, I'm also surprised miss is not affected at all."

"I don't change my appearance when everyone's wearing it."

"So, well, anyway this country I hope miss can have fun here."

I sipped my coffee after the waiter's departure, it felt like I remembered.

Let's put some sugar in it too. While looking back at everyone I thought about what to do in this country.

Clearly, I need lodging and a stall for White.

I found a suitable place away from the crowd.

"Welcome, one room and one cage right."

"Please, please."

"By pleasure."

I wait for my form to be completed.

"By the way, you're wearing shoes in the room too."

"This one, that's right. Her shoes are so beautiful that I don't want to take them off."

"Even a shower?"

"Right, it's probably been a few years since I've worn it."

It's not normal for me, now I think that I chose the right decision not to wear it.

"This is the key, and we're just preparing breakfast and dinner, so don't miss it."

"Of course."

I climbed the stairs and passed by some of the same people as me, they were probably from the outside.

A young man glanced at me in surprise.

"Aren't you wearing shoes?"

"Of course not, it's not that in the room we shouldn't wear it."

The young man was more surprised.

"Thank God it wasn't just me not wearing it."

I looked at his feet and like what he said, he didn't wear them either.

"What's really going on here?"

"I've lived here long enough, how about we have a little chat tomorrow."

"Coffee shop."

"All right."

We split up afterwards.

Far from the bottom of my heart I was very curious about this.
