Daytime hours - - - - -

We had been walking for a few hours, but the city was not yet visible.

"Hey Garden, when are we gonna be?" ask me at the Garden that runs right in front of me.

"Hey boy! How many times have you said the same thing to me? Don't talk about it anymore, we'll be there." Garden looks angry. Yes it is clear, from then on I have often repeated the question and I do not wonder why he looks angry again.

"All right, I'll change my question. How's your wound doing? Are you all right?"

"Let's just calm down, boy, like I said yesterday, when I get to town I'm gonna ask someone to cure it." (Garden)

I looked back and some distance behind me Leona was talking to Rin, and she seemed to be fine.

"Garden, yesterday during the fight I heard you say Head slash or something, is that a slap like Leona said when she was going to heal me?"

"That's not neat, it's just the name of my skill." (Garden)

"Skill?"

"Yes." Yeah." (Garden)

It is like this game. Starting from adventurers, magic, monsters, missions, and even skills. Do I have a skill too? Yes, as I have seen in some isekai anime that I have seen before, all the MCs must have overpowering abilities, maybe I also have.

"What skill can you use directly in battle?"

"Of course, boy, I can now easily use all my skills." (Garden)

"Wait a minute, did you just say, 'I am now'? What's that supposed?"

"Do you think I'm strong and can fight like this?" (Garden)

"of course. If not, how can you be this strong?"

Garden patted me on the shoulder and laughed.

"Haha. What do you mean, boy. Of course with practice, nothing is easy to get in this world, everything takes effort. And even all my skills are the result of my hard work all this time. Not everyone can be an adventurer, because it takes a lot of effort." (Garden)

After hearing that, I felt that there was no such thing as instant power in this world, unlike the anime I had seen before. 

"Can I be an adventurer?"

"If you want to be an adventurer, you must have a weapon and you must master that weapon, and find yourself a skill that suits you." (Garden)

As Garden said I need a gun.

"Where can I get that gun?"

"Let's just relax, kid, in town there's a lot of supply stores selling guns, you just have to choose. Do you have any coins?" (Garden)

"Coin? Is that a currency in this world?"

"Sorry boy, I forgot you came from another world, you definitely don't have that." (Garden)

"Of course, where anyone who comes from another world instantly has money to use in his new world, that's weird."

Garden laughs.

"Hahaha, take it easy boy, I'll take care of your weapon purchase and when you have the coin don't forget to pay it back." (Garden)

"Good."

I asked the Garden.

"Garden, I heard you said something yesterday about the kingdom? Is this world ruled by a king or something?"

"Exactly, right, and the city we are going to is a kingdom and one of the few kingdoms in the world and also all the kingdoms in the world will be led by a king." (Garden)

"Mistaken-one? How many kingdoms are there in this world?"

"There are four races that dominate in this world, and each race has a territory or usual also called the continent and with its own kingdom." (Garden)

"Four? What race is that?"

"Ras demon or demons, elves, half human or demihuman, and humans. The demon race kingdom was in the southern continent, the elf kingdom was in the northern continent, and the demihuman kingdom was in the eastern continent, while the human kingdom was in the western continent. And now we are heading to the western continent exactly the human kingdom. Is there something you want to ask me again?" (Garden)

"Hmmm. For a while, it seemed like there was nothing else I wanted to ask, anymore."

"All right." (Garden)

And unknowingly, from a distance I saw a palace big enough to be inside a wall that was quite sturdy, I think.

"Hey boy, we're almost there, do you see in front?" (Garden)

"Yes I see, is that a kingdom belonging to the human race?"

"Yes, we better hurry, because I can't wait to eat at one of my favorite places to eat." (Garden)

I saw Garden yelling at Leona who was some distance away in my back.

"Leona, and you, this couple of boys, me and this kid are going to town first you better catch up!" (Garden)

"All right! rin and I will catch up with you and wait in the guild!" (Leona)

"Good!" (Garden)

Garden dragged my right hand and ran.

"God!! Woy Gardens! Sick woy! Release me!!" I felt a pain in my son's wrist, I then snapped and told him to let go of the restraint.

Garden stopped running and let go of his handler, he laughed.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry my boy accidentally." (Garden)

"Well, it's okay, we'd better just walk around."

"Well if you want that, we better hurry." (Garden)

"Well." me and Garden walked as usual towards the gate not far ahead. I looked back and I lost Rin, it seemed like she and Leona were left far behind, but Garden only ran for fifteen seconds but they were both invisible.

Because something made me curious, so I asked Garden again.

"Garden, did I hear Leona say something about the guild?"

"Oh, that guild is where all the adventurers take missions at once a place to take the rewards of the missions we are working on. Usually the more difficult the mission the greater the rewards will be received." (Garden)

"so. Now I understand."

"Well, if there's anything you want to ask again, just say it." (Garden)

"Ready."

I saw that my right hand was fine, it seemed like Leona had healed Rin.

And I came before the big city gate and I saw two men dressed as soldiers guarding the gate.

"Welcome to Garden." The guard who greeted Garden saw me.

"And who is that boy with you."

And again someone called me a boy. "Are 17-year-olds in this world still considered as children?" my thinking.

"This is Hikari, this boy and I just met yesterday in an open grassland area. And because it's a little dangerous I brought it here." (Garden)

"Oh well then. Have a nice day at the Garden." (Guardian 1)

"All right." (Garden)

Me and Garden walked into the city. The garden suddenly shouted towards the guard earlier. "Oh yes!! There will be Leona and a girl with her, you just let the girl with Leona in, because she is this boy's partner!"

"All right then!!" (Guardian 2)

After that, me and the Garden went into the city. "Wihhh, cool!" I was amazed by the building there is similar to the one in my shadow, a city with a medieval European style. But, this is nicer, and also I see some races other than humans also exist in this city.

"Hey Garden, I see that there are races other than the human race that are here, whereas here is not a kingdom that belongs to humans? Why did they get in here?"

"Nearly all of them were adventurers, and there were also those who came here just for a vacation. In addition to the human race, other races must not live or settle here and they are only allowed to stay for a few nights, and vice versa, we the human race must not live in a kingdom other than the kingdom of the human race and we will only be allowed to stay for a few nights in a kingdom other than the kingdom of the human race." (Garden)

"Oh, that's how it is."

"Yes. Let's go now to my favorite place to eat, I haven't been there in a long time." (Garden)

"All right." I followed the Garden to a dining place not far from the gate.

Ting, the sound of the bell behind the door rang because Garden opened the door.

Garden and I entered the restaurant and I saw the design of this dining place that looks like a medieval European restaurant with candles as the lighting.

Of course in this restaurant there are some people who are drinking and also other races. Without caring for them, I and Garden sat down in an empty place.

A waitress approached our table.

"Sir, how can I help you?" (Servant)

He gave me a menu book and Garden.

"I want a special menu." (Garden)

"And you sir?" (Servant)

I didn't understand the writing of this menu, and I decided to order a special menu similar to Garden's.

"I also want to order a special menu."

"Okay sir, please wait a minute." (Servant) 

Then the waiter left.

I asked the Garden again because I saw something strange about the gatekeepers.

"Hey Garden."

"What's the boy?" (Garden)

"I feel like there's something weird about the gatekeeper." (Hikari)

"Weird why?" (Garden)

"I didn't see the pair of two guards."

"Oh, they don't have a partner." (Garden)

"Why? Not that everyone has a partner. Why can't they have it?"

"Do you remember. Each pair must have a sign, and the sign can appear with certain circumstances. For those who have not experienced it, can be a soldier, because their mind and body will not be joined because they do not have a partner. And for the soldiers who already get a partner will be immediately released duty." (Garden)

"Why is that? It's not better, if the person who already has a partner can be a soldier."

"That's not good at all." (Garden)

"Why?"

"Every soldier will be told to keep some important secrets from the kingdom, and if the warrior has a partner means that their minds will be united and the other couple will know about the secret." (Garden)

"Oh, so, the royal side wants to minimize the number of soldiers who know about the secret. Not if those soldiers had found their partner and were freed from duty the memory of the secret still exists."

"Not really." (Garden)

"Why? Will their memories be erased?"

"It seems so, therefore the government wants to minimize the number of people who will be erased his memory, if they pair up they will both be erased his memory." (Garden)

"Wait a minute, instead of removing the only one is enough. The mind, soul, and body of the couple will be united. So just erase one of their memories of the secret and his partner will also definitely forget the secret."

"It's not that easy, boy! Until now no one could erase the memories of one couple at a time, and to erase the memories of one person alone would require several witches as well as quite high magic. That's why the royal government wants to minimize the number of people it's going to erase." (Garden)

"That's how. Yes it is."

Suddenly a different lady-servant came with two dishes with an iron dessert, and he put her on our table.

"This is your order sir, please enjoy." (Servant)

Then the waiter left.

When I opened the cover, I was shocked because it was a rendang. Why in the other world is there such food? I'm getting confused.

"Hey boy, let's eat, it's delicious lo, one of the best food in town." (Garden)

"All right." I ate the food, too.

A few minutes later.

"Ahhhhh, I will never get bored with this delicious food, even though I have bought it often and still, it tastes the best. Right, boy." (Garden)

"D-yes." (Hikari)

Honestly, these foods are better than any food I've ever tasted before, because they add some secret spices as a complement. I don't know and I don't care, which is for sure this food tastes really good.

After I finished eating, Garden and I left the place and did not forget that Garden put some coins on the table as payment.

"Come boy, now we're going to the hardware store to buy you a gun. Remember, choose a weapon according to your taste and strength, so you don't regret it later." (Garden)

"All right."

We went to the gun shop which was a little far from where we had eaten.

 

Seriate.
