That's Sakal?
Yes, it is a trading city, a city not belonging to the state, Sakar.
Today was my fourth day in the other world, and by traveling earlier than planned, I was able to capture the towering walls in the middle of the meadow a day earlier.
To be honest, the unfamiliarity of the journey is making me feel tired.
The main thing is mental fatigue.
Although I had no choice, the simple task of running away or fighting off the occasional demon by repeating the same scenery of trees in the forest was quite rewarding.
And it's not the end of the world once you get to the street; this time the monotony continues.
Still, I'd be better.
If I had been a little younger, I might have been disappointed with the idea of fantasy, but these are thirty-something guys who work in that chaotic company.
The period of having literal fantasies is over.
Besides the memoria to talk to, there's no shortage of people to talk to in your spare time.
I've walked this far by thinking of it as a walk for health in the early stages.
At least I've experienced that unpaved roads are more hard on your legs than you think.
So? It's time for you guys to get over yourselves.
Well, it's fortunate that your mission was accomplished on this occasion.
"Don't tell me, Mr. Giro, Mary, I have to ask myself what the test of God is.
I don't know what you're talking about. That's it.
It's not just a simple matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.
You're going to be able to find out what I'm talking about with a dumbfounded expression on your face.
When the work is done, all that matters is when it's done. Do you know how many corporate warriors are out there working overtime, bemoaning the fact that their work is never done?
You can be forgiven for bemoaning the unfinished endings, but it's too extravagant to bemoan the consequences of a job well done.
Even if it's because of the mushrooms that you'll be using as your evening companion.
I'm still not convinced!
It's not just a good idea to have a good time, but it's also a good idea to have a good time.
It contains the substitute that is the cause of their mission to activate magical beasts.
Although the contents are not satisfactory for a woman, they are necessary for the job, so you can't let them go.
Do you want to throw it away?
"Don't ask, knowing that you can't get rid of it, Mary.
Well, it was Mary who found it.
And after three days of the same questions and answers, the response to memoria becomes a moot point.
That's how much this conversation has been going on, and I'm beginning to feel something akin to heartburn.
Three days.
Ever since I first camped in another world, these guys have been like this.
It's too recent to forget, though, so I remember it well.
It was the morning after our first camping trip.
We'd been on watch all night and greeted the party as they came up.
I was struck by how familiar Esther's face looked that morning.
The look on her face made me want to ask her if she was some kind of office worker.
With the sun coming out of the clouds, I learned the truth that I didn't want to know, that the phenomenon of waking up in the morning and losing your job is not common in Japan or any other world.
To those guys, they were escaping reality by getting lost in the woods and desperately trying to survive.
That changed and now Eshley and her friends had to face reality.
Memoria and I, eating sandwiches made from leftover bear meat and bread, watched the conversation about how to report with a smile on our faces as we handed out breakfast and knew we were fine.
And if it's someone else, the conversation naturally shifts to a different direction.
Speaking of which, is it common for magical beasts to become more active around here?
It's not uncommon for one type of hexenbiest to increase in number, but it's rare for the whole to do so.
That's just the way it is.
But the topic of conversation will be a derivative of that story.
Because the hexenbiest's rise in activity will affect our journey, so it's not just anyone's business.
I wonder what's causing it.
"I could say a few things if I had to speculate,
Is there?
Yes, there are two types of powerful hexenbiest invading our territory. Dragons and other disaster spreading types of hexenbiest.
Yeah, that's a common story. You know, the one that gets driven out and it results in a herd?
Yes, it's a rare phenomenon, but it's common. Other speculations are similar, turf battles, top dog fights, and the result is the same. And if it's early spring, it could be mating season.
"Is a Hexenbiest a cat or something?
It's labeled as a demon, but it's only a beast, so it's a matter of conjecture when we don't have any definitive proof anyway.
I guess.
It's a conversation that goes up at breakfast anyway.
We don't have to investigate, and we don't have to.
You need to watch out for the hexenbiest, but that's as far as we go.
We just need to finish our breakfast and go through the schedule.
"Ah, what do you have here?
"Are those mushrooms good?
"No, it's tasteless,
So, you're on drugs?
Just as I was thinking this, Memoria found a mushroom growing along the riverside and said it was unusual, and stood up and walked over to the side to pick one up.
I took the last bite of my sandwich and took a look at it as if I were looking into it, but the mushroom, dotted with pink spots on the black umbrella, looked too flattering to be good to be true.
However, there was a possibility that the mushroom was edible and a delicacy in my mind, so I asked him about it, but it's not as edible as it looks.
Then there is another possibility.
Yes, that would make it a stimulant.
"......
"The main use of the couple--
Don't say it.
It's morning, but the topic of the night has come up.
As you can imagine, I have a pretty good idea what they're used for.
When I shake my head to stop them, I see a similar mushroom in my field of vision.
Memoria, didn't you just say this mushroom was rare?
Yes, you said it.
"How often is it something you find?
Would it be out in the marketplace so quickly?
Well, I don't know how rare they are. And I wish I had this much growth right in front of me.
I'm sure the word "rare" would come out of my mouth when shown just enough to negate it.
And I had no idea that this was going to be the answer to Eshley and her friends' problems.
It was an accident that I found it, but I acted quickly from there.
If it were possible, Memoria thought, she could go up the river a hundred meters or so and find that more than one or two mushrooms were everywhere.
These mushrooms are quite rare by nature and never grow in clusters like this.
Perhaps it was unusual weather or a harbinger of natural disasters, or perhaps they were so ubiquitous that they could trigger a drop in prices.
The deer-like monster beasts that appear there are so well-timed that we wonder if they are being manipulated by some other will.
To the monsters, they are quenching their thirst at the riverside and eating non-toxic mushrooms while they're at it.
If you can see this process in action, the result is as clear as daylight, and that's why they're so active.
And I'm sure that's what got them killed, and that's why they're so reluctant to admit it.
To me?
"Oh, I see.
I'm convinced that this is a fantasy.
I was easily convinced by the fact that such a non-standard item was rare, but it existed to the extent that it suddenly appeared in large numbers.
From there, I went to the city to collect the mushrooms as evidence.
There's actually something unusual happening, so that should be enough evidence.
Well, we've got nothing to do with it.
Yes.
"You were traveling together, even if we were traveling together! You two should think a little more seriously!
"It's someone else's problem, you know.
What do you say to the person you are breaking up with after this?
If you're going to continue to follow me, you're going to have to consider running away at all costs.
What do you want us to do? In fact, after this, we might just break up and never see each other again.
In fact, the odds of meeting someone there are like winning all the lottery tickets, because in a couple of months I'll literally be across the world.
You're not going to ask me to follow you to church, are you?
No, not that much.
Mr. Giro, she seems to be planning on it. Please respond.
She choked up when Doubt and Memoria pointed out what she was talking about.
When I saw that, I smiled and said immediately.
"I say no.
Wouldn't it be nice to hear some more from you?
"There's no more time to waste than listening to a job after hours. That's my theory.
A rule of thumb.
More specifically, 80% of what you hear your boss talk about at a company party is useless.
And if you listen to it endlessly like a broken record, you'll get the worst combo of warm beer, sobriety and sickness.
I'd gotten to know Eshley over the past few days, but I still toe the line.
That line means no more extra work.
I've been told to learn the customs of Isual, but I don't want to act like a full-blown cowboy.
Even if the objectively pretty girl who is about to report to her nasty boss asks me to come with her, I refuse.
I'm beyond the age of youthful misunderstandings around here.
And I'm Japanese enough to say no, as the case may be.
Rest assured, Miss Eshley, if you report your work in a straightforward, unemotional manner, the next thing you know it's all over.
Ugh, Giro's words are very convincing.
It's an experience.
Everyone in the world, not just black companies, will have enough experience to report for work.
You wonder how to finish your report without incident, and you get additional work, scolding, rework and trial and error to come up with the answer.
That's just an example of what I've been telling my traveling companions for the past few days.
And this is the end of the journey.
As we talk, we keep going, until we finally reach the entrance of the city and pass through the gate.
Well, here we are.
Well, I guess so. Yes, we're here. ...... Yes, thank you so much for your help in this matter. I will never forget it.
As long as you don't forget your mistakes, you can forget the rest.
I'm the only one who can get a smile on the face of a maiden from another world.
Normally, this would be a situation where you would come forward to ask for help, but this time I just happened to be the one who was underage, and I had to go in to help because it was less risky and more convenient for me to do so.
What did I tell you? I'm a Japanese who can say no to some things.
I promise, but you take care of yourself. And don't follow me around again.
"We don't do that in the city, indeed.
Break up with her as soon as possible.
With a joke, this time I will say goodbye to her quickly.
Memoria and I remain where we are, and see Eshley and the others off.
I finally relax my shoulders as I watch their backs disappear into the crowd, laughing at the last joke.
It's done, our work is finally done. No extra work to be done, after all.
The next job is waiting, but fortunately we have a day to spare. What do you want to do?
"I'm not a workaholic to accumulate work, but I really want to have some fun.
"Okay, now let's do a little sightseeing.
I was very bullish from the beginning, trying not to show any signs of weakness.
After all, this is my first time in a different world. Any gap could be fatal.
On top of that, for some reason, I'm under constant scrutiny from her (Eshley) and the others.
Maybe it's their inability to learn technology or my behavior is unusual, but over the past few days, they never stopped looking at me.
It could be that my love story with Memoria had captured their attention on the first day, but either way, it was an environment where I couldn't be seen to be a bad ass.
I was able to unburden my shoulders from such an environment.
You can't complain about feeling a little bit of freedom.
Walk half a step behind her to take the lead and see Isual's first cityscape.
I heard it was a trading town, but there are still a lot of stalls and stores.
There is a market or shopping area in each direction, with entrances and exits in the north, south, east, west and west. In the north, food and livestock; in the west, clothing and ornaments; in the east, weapons, armor and furniture; in the south, where we pass by, there are other categories of goods.
"Medicine and books, jars and tarai, musical instruments and that's just a gecko's haystack? It's funny to watch because there's no consistency.
Be aware that this is the most common area for scams, and although the lodges are clustered in a central location, we have an outpost in town, so you won't be using it. And, you know what I mean.
"Yeah, I'll stay away from anything suspicious.
The security out front is reasonably well maintained, but if you go around to the back, you're not limited to that. Remember, we're not in Japan.
"Okay, how do you deal with pickpockets, by the way?
"If it's an actual crime, don't you think it's okay to at least break your arm?
Extreme.
"Because sometimes you can't handle it with your eyes alone,
The streets are crowded with simple tent stalls, as can be seen in some places on earth.
The road is wide enough for horse and carriages to pass, but the sidewalk and the road are not separated, and there is naturally no left-hand traffic etiquette.
The crowds of people passing and sometimes even bumping into each other may sound busy, but at worst, they are not organized.
I was pickpocketed three times while going only a hundred meters in the middle of it.
I'm not sure if it's a lot or not, but thankfully I was able to get rid of all of them by just brushing my hands away and glaring at them.
"I thought we'd have a little more fun.
"Isn't that part of this trip?
I guess so.
It's a shame that the part of you that was looking forward to scratching your brown hair and looking forward to the slightest bit of brown hair was also denied because dark hair stands out.
Learn the culture: ...... There certainly seems to be a lot to learn.
Certainly, it is a sight and a place that cannot be experienced in Japan.
Dog-eared old men and humans haggling at street stalls and people like me who carry weapons strutting about.
And
"......
"Do you mind?
Find a slave, who is collared and attached to a price tag, regardless of gender.
I just throw a glance at them and they pass by.
The Japanese common sense tells you that I'm the only one who's crazy in this fantasy world, but here, I'm the one who's crazy.
The feeling of righteousness and the desire to help is compared to the Japanese common sense.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't care, but I couldn't care less.
"Well, I'm going to keep going north, but be careful not to stray.
Yes, I'll follow you closely to avoid being spotted by some nobleman.
"They are very visible, so you won't see them if you're careful.
"Really?
"Yes, because the guards are very conspicuous,
Gently smiling appreciatively at the caring Memoria, she nodded and continued to lead.
If you see a strange group of people, you'd better assume they're noblemen first.
You will be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for, and you'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.
You never learn.
"There are a lot of people who don't have a choice in what to do with their lives. . here.
That's about it.
First of all, you want to go to a place to relax and follow Memoria to the central square.
The cobblestones are paved and there is a fairly large space provided.
The first thing that catches your eye there is
"What's that?
It's a statue of the brave men who built this city.
That one.
It was a statue of a man holding a sword to the ground.
My eyes, which are enchanted with magical crests, could see every detail, and his face looked normal.
You're Japanese, right?
"I've been told that,
The clothes are from here, but the face is Japanese.
It was a question that came from there, but it was not a mistake.
And there was one thing that bothered me.
I see.
Shall we see?
No, no.
I've been using magic tools to talk with you, but I learned to read and write simple things when I came here.
I squint at the words inscribed at the feet of that brave man, which even I can read, and refuse Memoria's suggestion of asking if I mind, and go on my way as planned.
What is the speciality of this town?
"Don't expect too much,
At the very least, you should have a good drink.
The brave man, Tatsuya, sleeps here on earth.
While changing the subject, the words that left an impression on you are engraved in your mind and gently driven to the corner of your mind.
You'll eat a delicious meal and forget about the bad feeling you got from that.

The streets are crowded with simple tent stalls, as can be seen in some places on earth.
The road is wide enough for horse and carriages to pass, but the sidewalk and the road are not separated, and there is naturally no left-hand traffic etiquette.
The crowds of people passing and sometimes even bumping into each other may sound busy, but at worst, they are not organized.
I was pickpocketed three times while going only a hundred meters in the middle of it.
I'm not sure if it's a lot or not, but thankfully I was able to get rid of all of them by just brushing my hands away and glaring at them.
"I thought we'd have a little more fun.
"Isn't that part of this trip?
I guess so.
It's a shame that the part of you that was looking forward to scratching your brown hair and looking forward to the slightest bit of brown hair was also denied because dark hair stands out.
Learn the culture: ...... There certainly seems to be a lot to learn.
Certainly, it is a sight and a place that cannot be experienced in Japan.
Dog-eared old men and humans haggling at street stalls and people like me who carry weapons strutting about.
And
"......
"Do you mind?
Find a slave, who is collared and attached to a price tag, regardless of gender.
I just throw a glance at them and they pass by.
The Japanese common sense tells you that I'm the only one who's crazy in this fantasy world, but here, I'm the one who's crazy.
The feeling of righteousness and the desire to help is compared to the Japanese common sense.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't care, but I couldn't care less.
"Well, I'm going to keep going north, but be careful not to stray.
Yes, I'll follow you closely to avoid being spotted by some nobleman.
"They are very visible, so you won't see them if you're careful.
"Really?
"Yes, because the guards are very conspicuous,
Gently smiling appreciatively at the caring Memoria, she nodded and continued to lead.
If you see a strange group of people, you'd better assume they're noblemen first.
You will be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for, and you'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.
You never learn.
"There are a lot of people who don't have a choice in what to do with their lives. . here.
That's about it.
First of all, you want to go to a place to relax and follow Memoria to the central square.
The cobblestones are paved and there is a fairly large space provided.
The first thing that catches your eye there is
"What's that?
It's a statue of the brave men who built this city.
That one.
It was a statue of a man holding a sword to the ground.
My eyes, which are enchanted with magical crests, could see every detail, and his face looked normal.
You're Japanese, right?
"I've been told that,
The clothes are from here, but the face is Japanese.
It was a question that came from there, but it was not a mistake.
And there was one thing that bothered me.
I see.
Shall we see?
No, no.
I've been using magic tools to talk with you, but I learned to read and write simple things when I came here.
I squint at the words inscribed at the feet of that brave man, which even I can read, and refuse Memoria's suggestion of asking if I mind, and go on my way as planned.
What is the speciality of this town?
"Don't expect too much,
At the very least, you should have a good drink.
The brave man, Tatsuya, sleeps here on earth.
While changing the subject, the words that left an impression on you are engraved in your mind and gently driven to the corner of your mind.
You'll eat a delicious meal and forget about the bad feeling you got from that.

Word of the Day
When the work is done, the next job comes.
That's what being a working man is all about, trying to find a way to widen the gap between one job and the next!
Tanaka Jiro, 28 years old, with a girlfriendHer Suela HendelbergMemory TrisOccupation Dungeon Tester full-timeMagical aptitude 8 general classPost WarriorsThat's Sakal?Yes, it is a trading city, a city not belonging to the state, Sakar.Today was my fourth day in the other world, and by traveling earlier than planned, I was able to capture the towering walls in the middle of the meadow a day earlier.To be honest, the unfamiliarity of the journey is making me feel tired.The main thing is mental fatigue.Although I had no choice, the simple task of running away or fighting off the occasional demon by repeating the same scenery of trees in the forest was quite rewarding.And it's not the end of the world once you get to the street; this time the monotony continues.Still, I'd be better.If I had been a little younger, I might have been disappointed with the idea of fantasy, but these are thirty-something guys who work in that chaotic company.The period of having literal fantasies is over.Besides the memoria to talk to, there's no shortage of people to talk to in your spare time.I've walked this far by thinking of it as a walk for health in the early stages.At least I've experienced that unpaved roads are more hard on your legs than you think.So? It's time for you guys to get over yourselves.Well, it's fortunate that your mission was accomplished on this occasion."Don't tell me, Mr. Giro, Mary, I have to ask myself what the test of God is.I don't know what you're talking about. That's it.It's not just a simple matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.You're going to be able to find out what I'm talking about with a dumbfounded expression on your face.When the work is done, all that matters is when it's done. Do you know how many corporate warriors are out there working overtime, bemoaning the fact that their work is never done?You can be forgiven for bemoaning the unfinished endings, but it's too extravagant to bemoan the consequences of a job well done.Even if it's because of the mushrooms that you'll be using as your evening companion.I'm still not convinced!It's not just a good idea to have a good time, but it's also a good idea to have a good time.It contains the substitute that is the cause of their mission to activate magical beasts.Although the contents are not satisfactory for a woman, they are necessary for the job, so you can't let them go.Do you want to throw it away?"Don't ask, knowing that you can't get rid of it, Mary.Well, it was Mary who found it.And after three days of the same questions and answers, the response to memoria becomes a moot point.That's how much this conversation has been going on, and I'm beginning to feel something akin to heartburn.Three days.Ever since I first camped in another world, these guys have been like this.It's too recent to forget, though, so I remember it well.It was the morning after our first camping trip.We'd been on watch all night and greeted the party as they came up.I was struck by how familiar Esther's face looked that morning.The look on her face made me want to ask her if she was some kind of office worker.With the sun coming out of the clouds, I learned the truth that I didn't want to know, that the phenomenon of waking up in the morning and losing your job is not common in Japan or any other world.To those guys, they were escaping reality by getting lost in the woods and desperately trying to survive.That changed and now Eshley and her friends had to face reality.Memoria and I, eating sandwiches made from leftover bear meat and bread, watched the conversation about how to report with a smile on our faces as we handed out breakfast and knew we were fine.And if it's someone else, the conversation naturally shifts to a different direction.Speaking of which, is it common for magical beasts to become more active around here?It's not uncommon for one type of hexenbiest to increase in number, but it's rare for the whole to do so.That's just the way it is.But the topic of conversation will be a derivative of that story.Because the hexenbiest's rise in activity will affect our journey, so it's not just anyone's business.I wonder what's causing it."I could say a few things if I had to speculate,Is there?Yes, there are two types of powerful hexenbiest invading our territory. Dragons and other disaster spreading types of hexenbiest.Yeah, that's a common story. You know, the one that gets driven out and it results in a herd?Yes, it's a rare phenomenon, but it's common. Other speculations are similar, turf battles, top dog fights, and the result is the same. And if it's early spring, it could be mating season."Is a Hexenbiest a cat or something?It's labeled as a demon, but it's only a beast, so it's a matter of conjecture when we don't have any definitive proof anyway.I guess.It's a conversation that goes up at breakfast anyway.We don't have to investigate, and we don't have to.You need to watch out for the hexenbiest, but that's as far as we go.We just need to finish our breakfast and go through the schedule."Ah, what do you have here?"Are those mushrooms good?"No, it's tasteless,So, you're on drugs?Just as I was thinking this, Memoria found a mushroom growing along the riverside and said it was unusual, and stood up and walked over to the side to pick one up.I took the last bite of my sandwich and took a look at it as if I were looking into it, but the mushroom, dotted with pink spots on the black umbrella, looked too flattering to be good to be true.However, there was a possibility that the mushroom was edible and a delicacy in my mind, so I asked him about it, but it's not as edible as it looks.Then there is another possibility.Yes, that would make it a stimulant."......"The main use of the couple--Don't say it.It's morning, but the topic of the night has come up.As you can imagine, I have a pretty good idea what they're used for.When I shake my head to stop them, I see a similar mushroom in my field of vision.Memoria, didn't you just say this mushroom was rare?Yes, you said it."How often is it something you find?Would it be out in the marketplace so quickly?Well, I don't know how rare they are. And I wish I had this much growth right in front of me.I'm sure the word "rare" would come out of my mouth when shown just enough to negate it.And I had no idea that this was going to be the answer to Eshley and her friends' problems.It was an accident that I found it, but I acted quickly from there.If it were possible, Memoria thought, she could go up the river a hundred meters or so and find that more than one or two mushrooms were everywhere.These mushrooms are quite rare by nature and never grow in clusters like this.Perhaps it was unusual weather or a harbinger of natural disasters, or perhaps they were so ubiquitous that they could trigger a drop in prices.The deer-like monster beasts that appear there are so well-timed that we wonder if they are being manipulated by some other will.To the monsters, they are quenching their thirst at the riverside and eating non-toxic mushrooms while they're at it.If you can see this process in action, the result is as clear as daylight, and that's why they're so active.And I'm sure that's what got them killed, and that's why they're so reluctant to admit it.To me?"Oh, I see.I'm convinced that this is a fantasy.I was easily convinced by the fact that such a non-standard item was rare, but it existed to the extent that it suddenly appeared in large numbers.From there, I went to the city to collect the mushrooms as evidence.There's actually something unusual happening, so that should be enough evidence.Well, we've got nothing to do with it.Yes."You were traveling together, even if we were traveling together!You two should think a little more seriously!"It's someone else's problem, you know.What do you say to the person you are breaking up with after this?If you're going to continue to follow me, you're going to have to consider running away at all costs.What do you want us to do?In fact, after this, we might just break up and never see each other again.In fact, the odds of meeting someone there are like winning all the lottery tickets, because in a couple of months I'll literally be across the world.You're not going to ask me to follow you to church, are you?No, not that much.Mr. Giro, she seems to be planning on it. Please respond.She choked up when Doubt and Memoria pointed out what she was talking about.When I saw that, I smiled and said immediately."I say no.Wouldn't it be nice to hear some more from you?"There's no more time to waste than listening to a job after hours. That's my theory.A rule of thumb.More specifically, 80% of what you hear your boss talk about at a company party is useless.And if you listen to it endlessly like a broken record, you'll get the worst combo of warm beer, sobriety and sickness.I'd gotten to know Eshley over the past few days, but I still toe the line.That line means no more extra work.I've been told to learn the customs of Isual, but I don't want to act like a full-blown cowboy.Even if the objectively pretty girl who is about to report to her nasty boss asks me to come with her, I refuse.I'm beyond the age of youthful misunderstandings around here.And I'm Japanese enough to say no, as the case may be.Rest assured, Miss Eshley, if you report your work in a straightforward, unemotional manner, the next thing you know it's all over.Ugh, Giro's words are very convincing.It's an experience.Everyone in the world, not just black companies, will have enough experience to report for work.You wonder how to finish your report without incident, and you get additional work, scolding, rework and trial and error to come up with the answer.That's just an example of what I've been telling my traveling companions for the past few days.And this is the end of the journey.As we talk, we keep going, until we finally reach the entrance of the city and pass through the gate.Well, here we are.Well, I guess so. Yes, we're here. ...... Yes, thank you so much for your help in this matter. I will never forget it.As long as you don't forget your mistakes, you can forget the rest.I'm the only one who can get a smile on the face of a maiden from another world.Normally, this would be a situation where you would come forward to ask for help, but this time I just happened to be the one who was underage, and I had to go in to help because it was less risky and more convenient for me to do so.What did I tell you?I'm a Japanese who can say no to some things.I promise, but you take care of yourself. And don't follow me around again."We don't do that in the city, indeed.Break up with her as soon as possible.With a joke, this time I will say goodbye to her quickly.Memoria and I remain where we are, and see Eshley and the others off.I finally relax my shoulders as I watch their backs disappear into the crowd, laughing at the last joke.It's done, our work is finally done. No extra work to be done, after all.The next job is waiting, but fortunately we have a day to spare. What do you want to do?"I'm not a workaholic to accumulate work, but I really want to have some fun."Okay, now let's do a little sightseeing.I was very bullish from the beginning, trying not to show any signs of weakness.After all, this is my first time in a different world. Any gap could be fatal.On top of that, for some reason, I'm under constant scrutiny from her Eshley and the others.Maybe it's their inability to learn technology or my behavior is unusual, but over the past few days, they never stopped looking at me.It could be that my love story with Memoria had captured their attention on the first day, but either way, it was an environment where I couldn't be seen to be a bad ass.I was able to unburden my shoulders from such an environment.You can't complain about feeling a little bit of freedom.Walk half a step behind her to take the lead and see Isual's first cityscape.I heard it was a trading town, but there are still a lot of stalls and stores.There is a market or shopping area in each direction, with entrances and exits in the north, south, east, west and west. In the north, food and livestock; in the west, clothing and ornaments; in the east, weapons, armor and furniture; in the south, where we pass by, there are other categories of goods."Medicine and books, jars and tarai, musical instruments and that's just a gecko's haystack?It's funny to watch because there's no consistency.Be aware that this is the most common area for scams, and although the lodges are clustered in a central location, we have an outpost in town, so you won't be using it. And, you know what I mean."Yeah, I'll stay away from anything suspicious.The security out front is reasonably well maintained, but if you go around to the back, you're not limited to that. Remember, we're not in Japan."Okay, how do you deal with pickpockets, by the way?"If it's an actual crime, don't you think it's okay to at least break your arm?Extreme."Because sometimes you can't handle it with your eyes alone,The streets are crowded with simple tent stalls, as can be seen in some places on earth.The road is wide enough for horse and carriages to pass, but the sidewalk and the road are not separated, and there is naturally no left-hand traffic etiquette.The crowds of people passing and sometimes even bumping into each other may sound busy, but at worst, they are not organized.I was pickpocketed three times while going only a hundred meters in the middle of it.I'm not sure if it's a lot or not, but thankfully I was able to get rid of all of them by just brushing my hands away and glaring at them."I thought we'd have a little more fun."Isn't that part of this trip?I guess so.It's a shame that the part of you that was looking forward to scratching your brown hair and looking forward to the slightest bit of brown hair was also denied because dark hair stands out.Learn the culture: ......
