14 Clance! (1/2)

Naota, Maria, Lily and Adana all have made their way to a city called Clance. It's been almost 2 weeks of travelling. Naota and the others have been hunting their food and have been taking bathes in river. They didn't have any opportunity to change their clothes though.

Naota sighs. ”You sure that the Grafali guy is actually here?”Naota asks Adana. ”Yes, I checked the guild that he works for in Bluemoon before leaving the place, he took two quests and the first one was supposed to dragon hunting at river which at least two cities away from Bluemoon and the next quest was to deliver a package at the city of Clance.” Adana replies to Naota. ”How are you sure about him still being in this city? For all we could know that Grafali would have already left the city.” Maria argues. ”I am sure because it takes at least two weeks to reach the city of Clance from that river just like Bluemoon while it only takes about 4 days to reach that river.” Adana says.

(Even though, she's quite knowledgeable about the places around here)

”Alright then, I will trust you and enter this city of Clance.” Naota says to Adana. Adana smiles. ”Let's go then.” Naota says.

As Naota and the other's walk into the city, Naota takes a look at his skill menu.

(Due to the fight with Feril, I have gained quite a lot of experience and now I have 4 skill points available)

Naota looks at Adana.

(It's a surprise how Adana didn't seem upset when I announced the news about Freddy's death to her. Wasn't he like her guardian or something?)

Maria and Lily's stomach start growling. Both Naota and Adana look back at them. Naota sighs.

”It's alright, I am hungry myself, let's go to an inn and have some food, shall we?” Adana says to everyone. ”We don't have money Adana.” I say to Adana. ”Don't worry, I have enough money for us to last for a week at least.” Adana says as Maria and Lily's eye sparkle.

(When did she have so much time to take all that money from?)

Naota and the other's begin to make their way towards an inn called the Mason inn.

(I had lost consciousness back when I had rushed back towards the carriage. Luckily, Adana tore her sleeves and shortened the length of her dress as Maria bandaged me.)

”Thank you for the food!” Maria and Lily delightfully eat their food.

(I can't believe it's been two weeks since I fought Feril. Feril huh...I doubt he made it out alive but if he is alive...I would want to save him. He wasn't a bad guy at all. Just...The circumstances made him the person he was.)

Naota looks at the drinks table.

(I guess I would like to have a mango juice, if there is one. After all, I am still a minor so I can't drink and plus I don't like to consume alcohol)

”I will be right back.” Naota says to the others as he begins to make his way towards the drinks table.

A well built woman with a long pony-tail is making drinks for everyone at the drinks table.

(Wow! I have to give the drink-maker one thing that she has quite a huge body for a woman. Those biceps might be even bigger than mine. She even has six pack abs which is quite visible through her tight upper shirt)

”What can I make for you, young one?” The woman asks. ”Make me a mango juice would you?” I say. ”Sure thing, kid.” The woman says as she begins to make my order.

”Not a drinker I assume.” A guy's voice.

Naota looks to his left towards the seated customer next to him.

It's a guy in mid thirties, his wearing a fedora which covers his slightly whitish hair. He also seems to have a stubble around his mouth. Naota observes him for a while. Naota spots that the guy carries two guns which could be revolvers. He also seems to wear a red scarf around his neck.

”Yeah, I am not an alcohol consumer.” Naota says to the guy.
