Book 2: Surviving In Another World From Zero

Chapter 38: The City of Sandria

When the day was hot and the night was warm from the nights elsewhere, that was how Ardhi felt now.

At a glance he could feel a gust of wind brushing his hair coinciding as he looked up at the starry sky.

Deserts have always been famous for barren, hot and often avoided land for many people, despite the perception of many people about the desert itself, this place also always shows its beauty like a jewel hidden in a certain place.

Latifa appeared and sat down next to Ardhi shyly.

"A beautiful night."

"You didn't sleep Latifa?"

"For me to enjoy alone time with Ardhi is worth more than sleep."

"Latifa?"

"Don't say anything more, I didn't force Ardhi to like me or anything. I'm just saying what I feel and want to say."

There was a feeling of relief in the depths of Ardhi's heart, he now did not feel able to accept one's feelings or give an equal feeling. He just wants to try to live his life now.

He is still young and getting married is not something he thinks of in the near future, nor is he a protagonist character who will marry many women in his hands and make a certain Harem.

The harem that Ardhi possessed was purely a coincidence, if there was a man who joined at the beginning of his adventure, he did not mind at all.

A glimpse of the expression Latifa showed now made Ardhi sure that he was purely fond of the star figure.

He asked and Latifa answered without hesitation.

"According to people, when you look at a star you will feel so close to the important person in your life, only at times like this can I remember my parents."

"Are they okay?"

Latifa shook her head.

"I'm an orphan, I used to live on the streets until I met the princess when their entourage came to my town..he suddenly said befriend me? And that's when I was taken to the palace and became a priest until now."

Latifa and the princess had clearly grown up together. Ardhi placed his hand on Latifa's head instinctively.

"Ah, sorry I don't know why me?"

"Why are you so excited?"

Latifa only replied with a small smile

The two chose to look back up into the sky, when there was a shooting star Latifa immediately prayed with a soft voice that could still be heard by Ardhi.

"Hopefully our days will be more pleasant in the future."

Latifa might not look like a gentle girl but she was actually more compassionate than anyone, if not for Ardhi forbidding her she would continue to heal anyone in the party even if it was just a scratch.

What Ardhi did was not something cruel, he just did not want to make Latifa carelessly scatter her mana, he said, sometimes there are more dangerous injuries than scratches and when that happens Ardhi wants to make Latifa not regret it. Without realizing it all Ardhi people also prepare some potions behind his clothes if Latifa experiences difficult things later.

He is the kind of person who thinks he has an umbrella before it rains.

When the morning before the Ardhi group and the adventurer group separated, Ardhi showed direction for them to return.

Their task was done and just reporting it they would get wages from the merchant.

"Are you sure they'll pay us?"

"Don't you guys finish off every monster?"

"While you say that, the giant worm is still alive."

"As long as someone doesn't use a train when passing through it then I guess it'll be fine, after all it's necessary from your numbers to conquer it."

"It's true."

After saying goodbye, they walked in different directions. Risa sitting on Ardhi's shoulder she might be referred to as the mascot in this group.

Because his level of cuteness was able to deceive every eye.

Nisa who was at the very front pointed far away with vigor.

"We've arrived nyan, it must be the city of Sandria."

A sprawling city with towering buildings is something worth paying attention to.
