Isekai: The Dream World

Chapter 14 ~ I want a peaceful life

The guild hall.

Arata had already reached the guild and he immediately approached Shai Vin who was the reception desk guard to report the quest and get his reward.

Arata gives a board that says "Quest resolved" to Shai Vin. Shai Vin received it and then kept the board.

Shai Vin took a small pouch and gave it to Arata. Arata took it and saw what was in the small bag. It turns out that the contents are circular money like coins, moreover there are only 4 pieces of gold coins. Arata did not look surprised at all with the money pieces because from the beginning Arata had expected his form of money would be like coins.

Arata thought, whether this money is very much or little.

"Is this including a lot huh? Although this is a bit but this money looks like it is made of gold. Maybe it's worth it, but I didn't know this money could get anything in the world." Arata said in his heart.

When Arata was about to leave suddenly Shai Vin called out to Arata.

"Wait!"

"What?" Ask Arata.

"You haven't returned the quest paper yet"

"Oh yes" Arata took his paper from the dimensional storage and gave it to Alya.

Shai Vin accepted it and said "Thank you" with a smile.

Arata left again while muttering in his heart "what paper is precious huh?" Arata does not know that it is a paper that can be deleted writing or images until it looks like new again and can be reused, he said, similar to computer technology or hp that can be removed easily and then create something new.

The sun was beginning to sink in the western horizon. The air in the afternoon begins to feel cool, maybe around 3-4 pm.

Arata was walking on the streets of the city that looks quite crowded from various circles while eating 1 apple he bought earlier for 1 silver.

"If 1 apple cost 1 piece of silver and my money was 1 piece of gold and then returned by the merchant 19 pieces of silver. If calculated and compared to the currency of the country of Indonesia, call it rupiah. 1 apple for 3,000 rupiah the last time I bought it first, just call it rupiah, so if 1 piece of gold I can buy 20 apples in total, then 1 piece of gold if it is given is 60,000 rupiah. Is that really so, huh? Ahhhhhh, forget it. Mathematics is always troublesome and annoying, I really do not like it, seriously dah!. I'd better...." Arata stopped walking and also stopped biting his apple, he looked at the sky. The sun was already visible on the western horizon, he concluded that it was late afternoon and he had not had lunch because he had forgotten.

"It's almost dark." Suddenly Arata's stomach sounds, usually if the stomach sounds it indicates being hungry. "I haven't had lunch yet." Arata continued walking.

"I remember someone saying, "if you're hungry, eat!" It's really a unique language."

....

Arata visits a restaurant, he immediately asks his cashier. In this place there are any food, after answering the available menus, Arata asked the price and it turns out the money is not enough. He apologized and went to another restaurant. Arata has entered and done the same in some food stalls he visited, the answer is still that the food is too expensive and the money is not enough, he said, although there are quite a few but it only makes 1 meal. Arata thought "one time eating delicious and luxurious then next do not eat anyway, better simple but then can still eat" this is done by Arata because he had experienced things where he went to restaurants and he forgot to look at the price menu, ate the food, then saw the bill, it turns out the money is not enough, he was also told to wash the dishes. Since then Arata always see or ask the price first and see how much money he has.

Now that Arata is in a restaurant, this restaurant looks deserted without any visitors. At first Arata hesitated but after seeing the affordable price, Arata also had no other choice. At the moment he thinks "no matter the place, which is important for now to be able to eat first. That's enough, than hunger."

"Please! Sir" said the waiter, putting food on the table with a friendly smile.

"Yes" I answered briefly.

Arata looked at the 10 skewers of the box that looked neatly arranged on a plate hesitantly, why is this satay cheap? Is it because of the meat? Why is this place deserted? Arata looked around again and was still quiet.

"What's wrong? Do you think this place is deserted because of the bad food or other problems?"

"No, I didn't mean to be—" Arata hadn't finished talking, suddenly the waiter was feeding Arata.

"Yeah!! aemm!! Yummy, right?" Ask her.

"It's really very tasty. This meat tastes like goat meat that is burned with a fire that is not too big or small, the spice also penetrated into the meat. Soft, savory, crunchy flavors all become one mouth. This satay flavor I've never eaten before, moreover it's quite cheap." Arata's comments in my heart. Arata was swept away in this delicious and cheap meat satay delicacy. Although Arata did not say anything from his mouth but the look of Arata's face was already very clear how delicious satay was.

"Right, this is really delicious" Arata said still as he chewed.

"I told you" said the waiter.

"Oh yes, if the food is as good and cheap as this why can no one come?"

"Actually the normal price is not so but because you are our first customer and also the last customer."

"Ehh, why? Though the food is quite good in my opinion, the place is also clean and spacious, the service is friendly." Arata was surprised but his facial expression did not show that.

"This restaurant will be closed soon because it cannot afford the rent. Do you know what? This restaurant used to be very crowded know, people eat while chatting casually with friends, closest people, or family. It was really the time of this restaurant, but from that day on it began to be quiet."

Arata did not pay much heed to his words and muttered in his heart "why is he confiding in me? If you remember, something like this happened in the anime. the main character eats in a quiet place where the customer and his waiter confides that his restaurant once triumphed then the main character offers to help him then shortly after, shortly after, the restaurant returned as crowded as it was then the main actor married the waiter. Does he think I'm the lead huh? I don't want to live a troublesome and troubled life like the main character. I just want to live a relaxed and soothing life, so I just ignore the curses, even though it will be contrary to my good and friendly character but I do not care, as long as I can live a relaxed and soothing life it's more than enough for me."

Without realizing it, Arata had spent all of his satellites on the plate. He said, "Thank you for the food" just like the Japanese when they finished eating. Arata stood up and the waiter asked, "are you leaving?"

"Yes, I want the night anyway."

"Oh so yes, once again I thank you for taking your time to eat at our place." The waiter said kindly while bowing.

"I also thank you for being given this cheap but delicious price" Arata said, bowing back. They both wake up simultaneously and Arata leaves the restaurant.

Where is Arata's next destination?
