We were already traveling had 2 days so we have about 1 day to reach the capital. This time the merchant didn"t rush us so we went at normal speed so it will take 3 days to get to the capital."Well, this was the right time." Merchant has already made the horses suffer a lot but now that no bandits or monsters have attacked I think he"s calmer.
We are also very happy because we also had no unforeseen during the trip back so far, On the trip to the city of Levent, we were attacked by bandits, but they only served to give us money.
Yes, while Sylphe and I knew nothing, Sheir and Lutrus looted all the bad guys and then shared the money with us. They could have had the money just for themselves, but they preferred to split the money so now I trust them a little more.
"Well, I was stupid not to take the bad guys" money or weapons." Well, the bad guys were only using lousy swords so my sword is better than theirs, but I could sell them to some blacksmith and make some money.
Lutrus and Sheir just took the bandits" money and didn"t do it, otherwise, we would have a lot more money now.
I have to be more aware of this, I can not forget to get the bad guys money, it can help me in the future.
I currently only have 1 gold and 3 silver coins, I wanted enough money to build a house, but just buying land in the capital costs more than 10 gold coins and that"s very expensive.
If I had a house, I could live with Lily and Mary, well, until Lily got a place to live because I"d like to live alone with Mary when we get married.
I know I haven"t proposed to her yet, but in a few months it"s going to be her birthday and I want to give her a nice present.
I have a birthday just before Mary, so I"m going to be 14 years old first. We can only marry with 15 years, but I think it is better to make the request now.
"Well, there"s still some time left." I don"t need to think about it now, what I need now is to pay attention to the trip.

After a few hours of travel, we started to see the capital wall, it was very different from the Levent city wall, the wall here is much bigger and also seems firmer against attacks or things like that.
When we arrived at the gate we showed our guild card and we pa.s.sed normally, the merchant also showing his card which was probably his merchant license and then the carriage entered the gate.
The guild was, as usual, full of drunk and sweaty guys, it"s a recurring sight around here.
When I got out of the carriage in the afternoon, so probably Lily and Mary are at school so they won"t be here to greet me, well, it"s a little sad but there"s nothing to be done.
"Will you go to the inn now?" Sylphe asked as he got out of the carriage as well.
I don"t know if I want to go to the inn now because the two girls aren"t there yet. I think I"m going to eat out today, Deby will be a little worried because today was the day I was coming, but then I explain to her why I took so long.
"Let"s eat at some restaurant today," I said smiling at Sylphe.
When I did that Sylphe avoided my eyes a little and then agreed to my proposal.
The restaurant I normally eat is still under reconstruction after the demon attack. The school was quickly rebuilt but the restaurant is taking too long.
Well, the school is owned by the country so it"s understandable that it happens, right?

We started walking around the capital looking for somewhere to eat, and it wasn"t that hard.
The capital has many places to eat as it is a huge and very well structured country, that must be why there are so many people living here. I have never seen the exact size of the capital, but it is so large that it is absurd.
I think this capital is 10 times bigger than any I"ve seen in my old world.
"Is that why that city is like that?" Maybe the king cares only about the capital and why is it so big and well structured? That must be why the city of Levent is in such a horrible state
It is quite possible because the king did nothing to help the city of Levent, well someday I will help those people.
"Let"s go in." I came to a restaurant that looked a lot like the other one that was wrecked, the atmosphere was very nice and they also had plenty of waitresses like in the other restaurant.
After that, we decided to order our food.
