82 Sightseeing (1/2)
It was already morning, Rogen and Robert with Lilica were walking around the town, the three were clearly having a good time sightseeing the town of Ernan. Lilica enjoyed many kinds of food that Ernan has to offer, but the one she enjoyed the most was the grilled squid, stuffed with different spices, but the price was too high for the ordinary citizens to buy, for the reason that spices were hard to get. But Rogen was already an influential figure in the Kingdom of Sirius, so he got it for free.
The three visited a beach where they are allowed to swim, but sadly, they did not prepare any swimsuits they could use, so they could only watch the beautiful beach with its white sand and clear blue water if you compare it to the existing beaches in Dariel's old world. It was similar to the beaches of the islands in the pacific.
It was Lilica's first time seeing a beach, as she lives her 25 years in the mountains, filled with forests, which was the natural habitat for indigenous elves, like her. She was very ignorant of the water that she even tasted it. Which she immediately regretted after tasting the salt, water of the sea.
Rogen and Robert laughed at Lilica the three were having a fun time even though they weren't able to swim in the beautiful sea.
Lilica looked at Rogen and Robert and asked them, ” Why did you not tried to taste the water, does your country, have this kind of water Sir Rogen and Sir Robert? ”
Rogen answered Lilica, ” Yes our country Lilica is surrounded by this kind of water, but we suggest when you get there, do not try drinking the water there. The seawater near our beach is not as clean as this, I'm not saying that our seawater Lilica is dangerous it's just not safe to drink it, as we already threw treated waste to our seawater. So it's not safe drinking it, but you can still swim in it. ”
Lilica had a smile and asked Rogen, ” So when we arrive there we can go swimming in the sea. ”
”Yes, you can,” reply Rogen to Lilica. Rogen understood why Lilica was happy with being able to swim in the sea. He knew that it is going to be Lilica's first time swimming in the sea, as she lived in the mountains, where the only source of water is the river flowing there.
Robert was looking at the two and commented, ” You two look like a father and daughter, on vacation. Ahh! I wish I could find the one so I could finally have a family, I'm starting to think that I am jealous of you two. ”
Rogen laughed at Robert's remark, he then taps his hand on to Robert's shoulders and spoke, ” I'm sure you will find the right one, Robert. It might be anybody or someone close to you, just waiting to be noticed. ”
Robert sighed and answered Rogen, ” I think that might be impossible, you see I don't know any girls and I'm kinda shy when it comes to asking out girls. ”
Rogen then said to Robert, ” Why don't you just ask Alvarez on a date you two get along quickly. ”
”Shut Up! Rogen, I'm not into that kind of thing. ”
Rogen laughed at Roberts's reaction, he was not stopping until Robert threw a coconut which Robert saw lying on the ground ground. Rogen got hit in the head with the coconut that Robert threw, Rogen was on the ground laying unconsciously.

Alvarez was talking with the Bismarck captain, Gustav.
Alvarez, ” Captain has everything been prepared for our departure from this town. ”
Gustavus, ” Yes almost everything is prepared, we only have to load the humvees you are using.
Alvarez, ” You can load them during high tide this night, I will tell my men to bring them in port this night.”
Gustavus, ” The ship that just arrived was meant for the nobles, right?
Alvarez, ” Yep, that is correct, I guess sir Dariel want to treat the nobles with luxury. Well, that would definitely give us a good first impression. ”
Gustavus, ” Well, I think that the government wants to show our country's power. To make them stop if they are planning something not good towards our country.”

Lilica enters the room with a tray carrying food. Rogen asked Lilica, ” What time ist it Lilica. ”
