Chapter 42
The Silver Sky inn had three floors . Though, it might be more accurate to say four, as there was an underground bathing area . Finding out that this inn also had a bath was enough to make my satisfaction reach its peak .
We were put up in rooms on the third floor . Separate rooms . We didn’t want any more accidents happening! It was important to maintain an environment that was conducive to a peaceful party .
It was decided that we would meet at the dining area for a late lunch after we settled in our rooms . After that, we would go out into the city and leisurely make our way to the guild . Joshua had told us where to find it . Though, there was also a guidebook sold at the counter which I had bought .
Now, I think this is enough unpacking .
The Silver Sky inn faced the city streets, giving you a nice view of Spiris when you opened the window .
“Woah… this place is huge…”
Spiris, the city that spread across the plains . The roads here were flat . Having been built over such calm terrain, it was a good place for people who hated going up slopes and stairs .
But it was also wide . Especially if compared to Fhiraldo . So maybe it wasn’t all that great for people who hated to exercise . Still, it was a city . A big city .
…Right, I can’t be staring out this window all day . I had an appointment in the dining hall . Always be five minutes early . That’s my motto .
I lock up the room and head downstairs . There are decorative objects placed everywhere that look quite expensive . I would have to be careful not to b.u.mp into anything here . It could end in me having to sell the ancient elven weapons . No, I would never do that .
I keep a good distance as I pa.s.s by and walk through the entrance room and into the dining area . The place looked more like a restaurant . It was completely different compared to the ordinary dining hall at the Spring Wind inn . I was very fond of that place, but I didn’t hate the atmosphere here either . Though, it did make you a little self-conscious about what you were wearing .
In fact, even now I generally wore my convenient store uniform . It had become rather raggedy after being through the forest, fights with monsters and multiple washes . But I couldn’t throw it away . It was the last connection I had to a home I could never return to . I did have underwear and shirts to change into, but this black uniform with its dress shirt and necktie was essentially my best suit . I did sew the parts that had ripped and patched up some holes, but it was becoming clear that I would soon have to start wearing normal clothes from this world… These were more shabby than vintage at this point . Hey, it was just like the hollow bag .
Okay, fine . I would buy new clothes before heading to the guild!
“Asagi . You are blocking me from entering . ”
“Oh, Daniela . Sorry, sorry . Let’s eat then . ”
Daniela had been waiting behind me . I hadn’t noticed as I was so distracted by my fashion related dilemma…
Not only the restaurant itself, but the food was also incredibly refined . But at the same time, it was still filling . Master Daniela seemed quite satisfied as well . We were now sitting down and enjoying a small break after the meal . There were not many people around as it wasn’t really a mealtime hour .
“Ah, I ate a lot… We should take a walk to help it settle . ”
“Oh, Daniela . I want to buy some clothes . ”
“Clothes?”
She looks at me with a smirk and folds her arms in front of her . Oh, now this was getting embarra.s.sing…
“Yes, I see it now . I did not care at first, as it is your traditional attire, but it is quite worn, really . I hope it was not like that originally?”
“Of course not . It was very nice at first… But its become a victim of my daily adventures . ”
“Well, then you should buy some nice clothes somewhere nearby . Both your rank and your level has gone up on this journey . You might as well change all of your equipment too . ”
Huh? Has my rank gone up already? Daniela sees my surprise and chuckles .
“You killed those orcs remember? It would have surely gone up a little . ”
“Ohh, right . The wyvern seems to have wiped my memory . ”
It had completely escaped me that we did that . Hmm, perhaps I should look at my status . I hadn’t checked it in a while . And so I call it up as I always did .

“Hmm, hmmm… The magic related stats have really gone up . ”
“It is because you have been using magic a lot recently . They are making up for all that time when they remained unused . ”
I see . Well, I would just have to use them more often then . Still, my AGI has increased at an insane rate…I’ll be creating afterimages soon! Ahahahaha!
“So, what about you, Daniela?”
“Hmm? Me? Status open . Hmm……my level has exceeded 70 . ”
“Woah, that’s amazing . Congratulations . ”
“Thank you . But no, this is actually on the lower end . It is quite difficult for elves to gain experience in proportion to their age . And besides, I had often traveled alone and actively avoided getting into fights . ”
Now that I recall, Daniela was close to two hundred years old, I think . It’s crazy . I wonder what that felt like .
“Well, it’s still something to congratulate you on . Let’s celebrate later . ”
“Gladly . I want to eat something delicious . ”
But you just ate!
We left the restaurant behind us and went out into the city . According to the guidebook, we were currently on the main street . As a newcomer here, I had my nose fixed to the pages as we walked down the streets . The clothing store that was our destination was just down the next road, so I paid attention to not miss it .
Most of the buildings in the city were built of bright colored bricks . Though they were soft, almost pastel-like rather than being vivid . I thought that it rather suited the green gra.s.s of the plains . Not that I had much faith in my artistic sensibilities .
“It has grown into a great city… It was but a small countryside town when I last visited here . No, maybe it was a little more developed than that… How was it…”
Daniela was trying very hard to bring back some old memories of this place . I looked at her and smiled .
“Mmm, why are you laughing, Asagi? That is rude!”
“No, no, master Daniela . I was laughing at those street performers over there . ”
“Grrrr…!”
I laughed and slapped her on the shoulder as she furrowed her eyebrows angrily . We continued to walk down the street . It was very peaceful . It was the fate of the protagonist to experience some kind of trial after spending some time in peace . But such logic hadn’t proved to be true here . And I wasn’t the protagonist anyway, so there was no need to think of such things . What could possibly happen to us as we turn the corner in this lively city? This world would be a h.e.l.lhole if such incidents occurred at that frequency . It would be the same as never getting to actually rest .
Now, we just needed to turn this corner and then we would be there . Even the navigator inside of my brain was telling me that ‘you’ve arrived at your destination’ and shutting off . Now, let’s go see some clothes .
And then I walked into a wall .
Dam, it hurt… Wasn’t there supposed to be a street here! I stand up with annoyance and look up from the guidebook .
I am looking at the wall .
That’s not right… Am I that tired?
“Hey, you . That hurt!”
“The wall talked…?”
“Ahh!?”
The wall was a person . Here we go now, an incident .
