Another: Memory of Another World

Ch. 50 Sightseeing

Tracing the road, Antares ends at the western district square. A mini park is in the middle of a wide road that adds an aesthetic impression to the place. The statue of a mother with several small angels as if to witness the monk of the people who pass through this area. The condition of the statue is very neat and well maintained so that no moss is found there.

Intrigued Antares examined the statue with several methods that he knew. The result was enough to pique his interest though not so special. It is a statue of a fertility goddess worshipped by some residents of Rimun, named Suri. The statue itself was built as a form of donation by the duke's wife several generations ago.

"I didn't know you liked statues?" Steve said after seeing the boy go silent for quite a while.

"I just love it, but it's not that interesting. .. That's how it is, how to say it."

Sometimes he is like a child who has been locked up for too long and has trouble chatting with others. // Steve could only display a wry smile.

If you take the western route, then you will find a traditional market filled by various small shops lined up on the side of the road. Many women and housewives from the lower middle class who shop here. In the morning in particular, this place will be crowded with buyers and sellers.

Looking at the scene, Antares just laughed a little. The scenery reminded him of the traditional market he had visited before while still on earth. Indeed the place was rather dirty, boisterous, filled with many people and had to be urged, but for some reason it was an experience that remained in his memory. The main reason Antares visited this place, is the price of the goods here tend to be cheaper, especially if you master's course silat tongue. Of course, Antares is very weak about it.

"You want to buy something, Grandpa?"

"No, just imagining it makes me tired." Steve observed the scene full of people and shook his head.

Instead, Antares visited one street vendor to another. There are chicken meal hunters, meatballs, toast, dawet, eggs, Japanese meat rolls, boiled beans, lontong, fruit juice, a rather expensive hotdog, twigim, Tteokbokki, etc, and there's so much more. He bought 2 of each. For some reason, all these snacks reminded him of his hometown. He also took the time to look at the toy salesman.

"Hello, welcome. You alone, son?" Sapa a young man who opened his cloth in a cloth. His gaze was fixed on the paper-clad snacks that filled the child's hands.

"Good morning, what are you selling A', a wood action figure?" Tanya Antares observed a simple statue that resembled a monster and a knight made of wood.

"Right, are you interested? This is Moonlight Wolf who rules the night. This is Phoenix Arizona the fire of doom. In the meantime, the king is a war horse, who is riding the strongest general on the face of the earth. .... " The young man explained the statues one after another excitedly.

Antares did not really listen to the explanation, but he was interested in the design of the statue. Although still a bit rough and the details are not much. "How much is this, this, this, this, and this?" Tanya Antares refers to the eagle, a rather strange angel, a snake, a warhorse, and a statue resembling a mutated dog.

Seeing the snacks and clothes worn by Antares, the young man thought that the child in front of him was the son of a rich man. So first, he gave a slightly higher price than usual. "50 bronze coins" he said with a faint smile.

"All right." Antares took out a handful of coins received with two trembling hands.

The seller's eyes slightly widened like getting something beyond his expectations. "I-I'll wrap it up soon, please wait a minute!" The young man said in panic.

Antares had no idea what was really happening to the young man, though he could understand it a little. Maybe 50 pieces of bronze was too much for him? His reaction was enough to explain the young man's heart. Antares immediately asked the Book of Truth, then nodded several times after getting his answer.

At first Antares was about to say a few things, but as he was about to say them, he became doubtful. "Thank you." was the only word that came out of his mouth.

"Thank you back."

Because the goods began to be too much, he put all these objects into the inventory, through the middle of the bag. Then he bought some items such as kitchen utensils, sharp weapons, and even more, everyday clothes that material is not so good, to low-grade monster meat.

Antares exited the market with his usual face, met Steve and went elsewhere. There was no term for a roadside bench here, so Antares decided to return to the town square via a detour.

"Where are the snacks you bought?"

"I keep it in my bag."

"A good choice. So, where are we going next?"

"Buying pretty good clothes and a bookstore, maybe even herbal medicine."

Steve just nodded, but he also needed some clothes for everyday. For a while, he did not need to pay any attention to the food matters at all.

Actually Antares could have bought a low to high quality product in the system store, but he came to town with Steve. After all, he also wanted to familiarize himself with this new residence.

Steve receives a snack that Antares buys for him with pleasure. He was not too surprised to see Antares take out a larger object than his bag, due to his status as a Night Watcher. Instead, he did not think that the child would be very attentive to him. Although everyday they would fight for problems that actually did not exist, but without him knowing, Steve has become one of the backrest of Antares life. For some reason, the small attention, making Steve's eyes a bit wet. Unfortunately, he could not become too emotional, as his perception skill caught the existence that kept following them.

Antares soon finds a suitable boutique for him using the help of the Book of Truth. And as men, both clothes shop as fast as lightning. Honestly, Antares just picked a few and bought them right away regardless of fashion, or any other issue. As long as it looks comfortable to use and not too flashy, it already meets the criteria of Antares.

"Tools, clothes, kitchen salt and various interesting spices, toys, snacks, scribbles." Antares muttered quietly.

"That's what you had in mind? I don't know why I want to laugh." Then Steve laughed.

"Indeed what's needed, soon I'll be in adulthood."

Steve could not comment on this. After all, Antares had to be forced into adulthood from the age of 9-10 years.

"Next, ah that's him, the herbalist shop with the cup emblem." Antares entered the shop a little wide filled with the smell of herbs that pierced the nose.

The venue was rather spacious, with the reception desk in the front row with various herbs and crystal bottles on display behind it. Guarded by a young girl who has just stepped on the end of a dozen years.

"Welcome home."
