Chapter 21 (2/2)
”…yes”
I gave the other guard another coin They looked pleased with the away cats
”Aight, come in quick Don't make trouble”
”And kid, it's another two coins when you're leaving Get it ready”
”…”
I never thought they'd be asking for bribes this shae expense, even if it was necessary Well, not like I actually kne much a silver orth anyway
Honestly, if I was standing guard, I wouldn't have let a shady kid hiding her face in a hood who just walked fro shi+tty people worked out well forup my appearance was my current top priority I only ca other info, and to find children's clothes, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered with this sort of village that looked like it had zero interesting things going on
I glanced to the side of the road, looking at the fields being worked only by beasts packed closely together
The at district you usually see in the countryside A few people sent me looks full of suspicions I saw a place with sheets of fabric and old clothes hanging outside and entered Inside, the pluround, kid”
”I want clothes,” I said, setting a few silver coins on the counter The woman's attitude turned a whole 180°, and she instantly put on a sht? I have a few good pieces over there, honey”
There weren't much in variety I picked up a few dresses and sashes
”Do you have shoes? Leather, if possible And a coat with a hood, too”
”Here ya go Boots still new, see? And this coat here, I got it froirls, I hear!”
”Do you have satchels?”
”Aight, cloth or leather?”
”Leather”
Honestly it was just ave off that 'rugged traveler' feel
I also picked up soed in the back This coat fitmy face, so I looked a lot less shady now
I left the changing room The shopkeeper woman took a look at my face She seemed somewhat surprised
”My! Honey, you look adorable! Have you finished shopping?”
”Yeah”
”Alright I'll just take those coins you left on the counter, then I'rateful, okay?”
”…”
There were a few large silver coins together with se ones really so low in value? These were just secondhand clothes I thought all the stuff I bought wouldn't even reached 150 dollars…
I returned to the shopping district With decent clothing, there were a lot less suspicious gazes now, but a few of the an unfa skewers of meat, with chairs to the side for customers I started a conversation with the owner, almost as a way to run from the uncomfortable stares
”Excuse me How much for one of those?”
”Welcoe ones are three”
”I want as much as I can buy with this, then”
”Thank you for your business! One small silver it is, then And an extra s lady”
I handed over the coin The e skewers and two s the extra A sht? If the currency followed powers of 10, then a normal silver was 100 dollars?
…and that woht people in the countryside were supposed to be caring and good-natured…
The owner of the stall sees, like where the large cities were Supposedly, I could ride a horse carriage to a neighboring town half a day's ride away, then get a stagecoach to the capital

”Girlie, wait up”
They turned out to be the kindthe street stall
”…?”
”Yeah, Iout earlier”
He s his head And then he took out a wooden pestle, probably taken froainst his eesture

”…”
What the hell do you ht the attitude was limited to the slave hunters only, but even normal human citizens were like this? And thewrong He reached out his hand to me, with the same kind of nonchalance as a hunter would have when they shot a rabbit just because they saw an easy prey
I sighed, exasperated This was so far beyondpeople, not NPCs progra, I also reached out ht hand…
”Gakkh!?”
