5 Reaching The City (2/2)

”Welcome back, Miss Nanea!” [Guard 1]

...node…..

”Um..

This person here is a friend of mine whom I found lost in the forest. He was on a journey to get enrolled in a prestigious sect. so, I brought him here to show him around the city as well as the sect.” [Nanea]

Hearing this the guardstook a look at Astra and then opened the gate that led into the city. After walking through the gate Astra was quite stunned by the beauty of the city. The houses and buildings were similar to those found in Edo Period. The streets were well decorated and the market was busy as hell.

The moment they walked into the city Astra was looking around the city like a curious person brought in an entirely different world where everything around him is new and a first experience.

Seeing Astra's such expression, Nanea asked.

”Is it your first time in a city.” [Nanea]

”Yes as well as No… I've seen small cities but I've never seen such a city that I came across during my journey.” [Astra]

Astra said it with shining eyes. Nanea was surprised and happy seeing Astra's childish expression and behavior.

The people in the market seemed to buying and selling goods with money that seemed like copper, silver and gold. While looking around in the market, Astra could some what guess that 1 copper was similar to 100 Yen and 100 copper made 1 silver and 100 silver made 1 gold.

After roaming around the market for sometime the duo finally decided to book a lodging as it had taken them the entire day to reach the city and roam around the market and the sun had set. So, they walked around searching for an Inn. After searching for sometime they found an Inn with name Silver Wings which was decent that the other ones they had seen so far. They went in and booked two rooms, but since Astra didn't have any money on him Nanea had to pay for his lodging and this really made him feel disappointed in himself 'So much for the first impression towards the first woman I just met.'

As soon as the booking was done, both Astra and Nanea had their dinner and went towards their room.
