The Seven World Of Fantasy

Chapter 37: Again, and Again

That afternoon Clara had just returned to the inn.

Gasping for breath, he carried a large bag of money. It was money from the sale of war booty from the bandits.

Shin hired the services of an acquaintance merchant to sell the items, and Clara would pick them up when she was done. At that time, it was likely that Shin had gone to his village Momo, then Clara who would continue the transaction process.

"Huh, huh, actually this isn't heavy. Just taking care of the thieves on the street was really troublesome."

Eeee... It turned out that he was not exhausted from carrying the bag.

All right, now Clara's up the stairs to the top floor, then into their room there. There was no Riel and Momo in it, it was possible that they were going for a walk or buying food outside.

The two of them did not go with him because there was something important they wanted to do. Clara herself did not mind. Keeping valuable items from the bad guys was not a difficult thing for him, as long as the one who tried to steal them was not White Shadow.

"Whoup!" Clara dropped the bag she was carrying.

Buk up!

As heavy as it was, the sound produced was like someone slamming on the floor.

Clara wiped her sweat and breathed a sigh of relief. He noticed what he was carrying at the moment, and once again realized that it was a huge bag of money. It was like the hope he had always hoped for before.

"I can't believe that in this bag it's about 5 million nira." Clara rubbed her eyes. His ears were pulsating following his feelings. "I've never held this much money before."

While waiting for Riel and Momo to return, Clara wandered around indistinctly inside the room. He fell asleep on the bed, jumped on it, and once again noticed the bag containing the money.

'You can now pay off the lodging money, and buy fresh carrots every day.' Clara was singing if Riel said that.

"Huaaa, thank you Riel! I really want to eat fresh carrots every day!"

'You're not very useful in an attack. So you can take just a little as a fare take it from the merchant.' This time he imagined Shin saying it.

"Ughs. It's okay, I'm used to eating leftover carrots yesterday. Riel is more entitled to accept everything, he can buy a good perlangkapan for his adventure." Suddenly his face turned lethargic.

It was getting late, and Riel didn't come home with Momo.

After breakfast, Riel kept herself locked up in the room. She was angry that Shin did not want her to come to Momo village, and she also received quite painful taunts from Shin.

If Clara was in that position, her reaction would be mediocre as she was already used to Shin's behavior. But Riel, who had only known him for a few days, could not take what he just said. Especially if it is offensive.

"They're both old." Clara Mumbled.

When Clara went to look for the merchant this afternoon, the two of them were still inside the inn room. Riel was still sulking, and Momo tried to chat to make her calmer.

Clara also tried to calm Riel down, but she became even more upset. Clara was locked up at the inn that afternoon.

If not wrong this afternoon the three of them have not had lunch. It was late in the afternoon, and Clara's stomach started to rumble. It makes him think that Riel went with Momo to look for food outside.

As soon as Clara wanted to do the same, she saw a paper tear on top of the drawer beside her.

"Letter?" Guess it.

Clara took the paper and read the writing on it.

[To Clara

Momo and I want to take a short walk to the cat village

I'm sorry if I left without telling you before, but you definitely won't let me do it

I've had lunch, and you don't forget to eat either, yes ; D. We'll be back tomorrow or the day after, or a little later.]

Clara's ears shrunk as she read the letter.

"Riel..."

His hand trembled, and the letter he held fell to the floor.

"Why..."

Clara fell to her knees, and her eyes stared blankly at the inn floor, which contained a large sack of money there. Right then, without him noticing, his eyes began to tear up. He remembered someone who would do the same thing if something like this happened.

"Why do you look so much like her..."

***

I went to the market to find a horse-drawn carriage to take me. Here was the trading district, and there were countless horse carriage owners here.

Most of them were traders. The horse-drawn carriage they use only to carry their merchandise from a village, to a city, or other place.

Although they own the horse carriage personally, it does not rule out the possibility of anyone offering transportation services. It was a business that was no less competitive here, as they would reduce the amount of personal vehicle maintenance of the merchants in the city.

"Excuse me, sir. Can you take me to a village? I see you have some horse-drawn carriage here." I greet one of the owners of the horse carriage in front of me.

"Oh, I'm sorry adventurer sir. It was indeed my horse carriage, but I had already used it to transport my things. Again I apologize for the objection."

"No, it's okay. Thanks for the time."

It was the third person I came to, and he wasn't the one who could give me a ride either.

The trip to the cat village is quite far if you have to travel on foot, it can take several days. I can't leave Riel alone for too long.

But if I don't get there soon, winter will come and I can't travel there anymore. If not wrong, their village is located on a mountain slope, surrounded by forests and also steep terrain. Snow will block any route to the village.

Shin's.

Yea?

"Excuse me, adventurer sir." Someone called me from behind.

I turned around and saw the man who greeted me. He looked like a merchant who was still quite young. The boy who is likely younger than Riel, and runs his business alone.

"Yes? What's the need?"

"I saw the master was looking for a horse-drawn carriage to go somewhere. I can get you there, of course at a discount for an adventurer. How's it?"

The way it offers services still sounds amateurish to me. But at least he came to me, and it saved me a lot of time.

"All right, I'll come with you." My answer.

"Yes! Follow me, adventurer sir!" The boy started walking in front of me.

We traveled down the adventurer district quite far from where I had searched before. I became suspicious of where he could find out that I was looking for a vehicle. If he tells the instinct of a merchant, then I cannot deny it.

Shin's.

What's up again? You call me?

Hid. He just drove me to the village, and then we would never know each other again. Isn't that what generally happens?

It's just your narrow mindset.

Sorry, Violet. But I'm not interested.

Huo. Yes already.

After a while we walked, we arrived at a place where many horse carriages were parked there.

"Do you have any luggage, adventurer sir?"

"I've brought everything I need. We can go right away."

"Well! Cool as any adventurer I could have ever imagined! Okay, please wait a minute here. I'll get the horse carriage ready." The boy ran towards one of the horse carriages, and began to prepare it for the journey.

"Where are we going?" Ask the boy.

"The village of cat races on the mountainside."

"okay! Estimates we will arrive within one day one night if the trip is smooth, with 2 breaks on the road."

I got on his horse-drawn carriage, and sat in a carriage containing quite a lot of merchandise.

As I expected, this brat was also a merchant traveling from one place to another. Maybe because his sales are declining, he is looking for other income by providing ride services.

"Is your sale unlucky in this town? I saw quite a lot of your leftovers on the train."

There's a big wooden box, some urns, sacks, and other merchandise inside here. At first glance makes this place narrower, but it seems that if it is too relieved it is not comfortable for me as well.

"Oh! I was lucky to arrive in this city! My trade was exhausted, and it was new items that I would sell elsewhere. I'm sorry, if your place gets narrower."

Haa, I'm prejudiced. "Good then. I'm not bothered by your things either, so we can leave as soon as possible."

"okay!" The boy sat in the driver's seat, and began to stomp the rope of his horse "Hyaa!"

The horse-drawn carriage slowly walked, and entered the streets then joined the other horse-drawn carriages in the trading district.

We went to the village in the afternoon. So I guess I'll get there around noon tomorrow or maybe the sore too. The road we were about to cross should have been smooth reaching the mountainous area. If it gets there, then the terrain will become more difficult.

There's enough of this boy to drive me to the village, then he can go back to the city. Or it could be that he wanted to stop by the village as well to try to sell his wares, then return when my business there was done.

"You can rest first, adventurer sir. We'll stop soon because the horses look tired, but you can rest in the carriage first if you want."

It didn't feel like it had been a few hours until sunset, and since then I was just daydreaming or chatting with Violet. 

"I'll rest when we've stopped."

"Oh, okay."

I also occasionally talk to the boy. The topic he was discussing was quite common to an adventurer, so I could answer it without having to be wary of what you were going to say.

"By the way, adventurer sir. Can I know what your name is? We've been chatting but forgot to introduce each other's names."

"Call me Shin."

"Alright, Mr. Shin. Also, my name is Roger."

Roger's? "Call me Shin."

"ahahaha. All right, Shin."

We continued walking for a little while, until the boy finally began to marginalize his carriage. 

Beside us was a large field, and there was a tree in the middle. This place is quite far from the danger of ambush by enemies or wild animals. The boy apparently had enough experience in the wild.

But I have been suspicious of that boy since.

Shin's.

Yea?

I haven't felt it since, but I just got a glimpse of something.

Same with. Just for a moment, but it was so felt. There was something that this boy was hiding.

"Hey, Roger." Call me.

"Yes? What's the matter, Shin? You can come down now. I'll set up the tent in a moment."

"May I open the contents of the big box in your carriage?"

"Did!?" The boy was surprised. "I-it's just my merchandise. There's nothing special in it."

I'm sorry, Roger. But your lying ability still has to be honed again.

"Oh, huh? Then rather what stuff did you keep in it?"

"Ehh, thatu... I keep vegetables!"

A vegetable? If he says he's keeping the armor, then I'll believe it. That big box is too big to store vegetables. So rather the boy was hiding something inside the big city.

"No! Please don't open it!"

If he transacts something illegal, then I'll let him do it this time. But I have to be careful if he suddenly attacks me from behind.

But if that's in this box...

...

When I opened it, it was totally beyond my expectations.

"Ehh, hi." Riel greeted me with her hand.

These two girls, get into a big box and follow me along the way. Riel, and Momo.

No need to go far, I'm sure Riel planned all this. He met Roger first, and then they discussed something. Riel told my location, and Roger was looking for me to be offered a discounted trip.

When I got on the train, they were both ready first in this big box.

I saw a ring that they wore on each of their fingers. It was a ring to erase the trail. Even if you're still visible, they won't notice your presence, your voice, or even your aura before.

A ring with a magic attribute that is very useful for sinking. The effect will disappear if someone has seen the user.

"What are you doing here?"
