Chapter 4 – Relief

After experiencing that heartrending event of being run away from by both bandits and their victiether and decided to have a look at as inside the bag that was flung at me earlier

Just as I had guessed fro was stuffed with gold coins

I don’t knohat the currency in this world is worth, but there are quite a lot inside, and I think it ht be a fair amount

…The pain was proportional though

When I counted the contents old coins, 48 silver coins, and 114 copper coins

To be hit in the face with such a heavy thing, you did well in getting out unscathed, me

I’e owner fro the bandits for his life with this money

And then I appeared, and he threw it atas inside…

Thinking about it again, I’ a little irritated

Though it wasn’t intention, I was his saviour, but he threw soer is justified

And so, I’ve decided to keep this money as reparations

It doesn’t seeive it back after all

Having tidied this matter up in my mind, I put a few silver and copper coins into the pocket ofand all

Now then, what a to do from now on

From what I saw of the reactions earlier, even if I arrive at a town, I think the possibility of the me in is low

It’s still better if they just get scared and run; if things go badly, I et attacked

But staying away from civilisation like this is impossible

I don’t have any survival skills, and even if I did, it’s dubious as to whether they would work in this other world

In the end, I have no choice but to get to a town somehow in order to survive

Can’t I control these annoying skills somehow…?

Wait, hang on?

The bandits and the carriage owner looked scared after they met eyes with me

In other words, can’t we say that the fear is limited to the effect of the mystic eyes, and the aura alone doesn’t have that much of an effect?

I accidentally thought of theainst humans was only written for the Evil God Aura, and it didn’t necessarily affect the Mystic Eyes of Wicked Authority

If the Evil God Aura doesn’t seem like it’ll be that much of a problem, and only the Mystic Eyes of Wicked Authority are an issue, then there are still ways I can cope

Sinceeye contact is the activation condition, the effect won’t activate if I make it so that our eyes don’t meet

Fortunately the robe has a hood, so if I pull it down enough that it hides htly eerie atmosphere… at least I hope that’s how it is

I can’t deny that there’s a lot of wishful thinking iven that I don’t have any other choices, I’ve decided to follow inal plan and look for a town

First of all is the problem of which way I should head for now, but────

“…Let’s go this way”

I’ve decided to go not in the direction that the carriage escaped in earlier, but to go the opposite way

I think there should be hue ca, but I don’t knohich is closer

The probability is an even 50:50

In that case, considering just in case that I ain, it seeo in the opposite direction

And like that, I once again began to walk

I don’t have a watch so I can’t tell the ti for about two hours, the forest ended and I reached a wide grass plain

If it was the me from before, then I would have been unable to o, but because of the reinforce

The highway stretched out through the plain, and in the far distance I could see a town

It was surrounded by a wall, and see town

It’s just what I can see, but it seeet there

After looking about the plain and confir animals, I headed to the town

When I got close to the town, I could see that at the end of the highas a s set as the entrance, and in front of it stood a few people and their carriages

I quietly added myself to the end of the line, and listened as best I could for information

Since I know nothing about this world’s coet into town after all

The uards a card, and their carriage underwent a check before passing through

As for those walking on foot, some of them showed a card just like the merchants, and some of them paid money and received a wooden card

Those cards are probably identification papers of some sort

But though there seem to be those that don’t have them, in that case it seeh

I’ht, but to me it’s convenient

While squeezing a silver coin I had in my robe pocket, I waited for my turn to come

“Next… Just one person?”

“Yes”

It was uard

Inside, , but I didn’t let it show

Thankfully, because the hood was pulled down enough to cover et scared

“A woman huh Do you have ID?”

“I don’t”

“Then pay a deposit, and we’ll issue you a temporary ID The deposit is 1 silver coin”

Not a toll, but a deposit huh?

I wonder if they’ll give it back when I leave

I took out a silver coin from my robe pocket, and handed it over

“We have certainly received it When you leave the city, return the teet an official ID when you’re in time, don’t throay your temporary one”

“Got it… Hoould I go about getting an official ID?”

“Did you just co? The fastest way should be to register at the Adventurers Guild and get an Adventurers Card There’s also the church, and the Merchants Guild, but the forood unless you’re a resident or a believer As for the latter, onlyto do you with, miss”

Well, no matter how you look at it, I doubt I look like a merchant

Since our eyes aren’t , but this guard is quite kind

The Adventurers Guild, the church, and the Merchants Guild; for now I know that the town has at least these establishments
