I woke up as soon as dawn came. It was easy to wake up early in this world. Before this I was not such a morning person. I will only rise from bed one hour before office time started but now since I was not distracted by modern technologies, I would slept after dinner if I don't have anything to do.
Since I have unofficial date today, I went down to well to shower myself. Even this well is a public place of inn, the fact of this inn had less customer easier my heart to enjoy my bath in private.
After showering, I entered my room and checked my new clothes to wear today. I had all same fashion and design for my shirts and pants. I was a bit regretting to not buy a good one garment yesterday.
So I wore the blue shirt and black pant. I don't know the type of fabrics for my clothes but I could saw its stitches was rough compared to modern clothes. But I had not further complaint.
I went to dining area of inn and the first menu for today is egg muffins. I was curious of how this muffin is differ to regular muffin at fast food restaurant in my former world.
I took one bite and immediately knew that this muffin was so simple compared to modern muffin. But I was still enjoying my new muffin as I always like the original taste without additional of additive substances.
Then I exited the inn and walked to middle junction.
Arrived there I recognized one and only girl I knew in this city who sit at the wood bench. She saw my face from far and immediately waved her hand. I waved back to her.
She was still the same from the first day I saved her except for her violet dress and blouse. I guessed when she didn't wear her knight attire with armour, her intimidate look quickly replaced by her innocent aura.
I faster my leg toward her.
"Good morning Cara. Thanks for coming earlier."
"Good morning too Dylan. It's okay. I'm excited to show you around here."
"Haha, I'm quite happy for your feeling. It's should be me feel excited because a cute girl is kind enough to go out with me."
"Haha, please don't joke around with me. I'm just a knight apprentice, being cute is far away from myself. You don't need to flatter me."
"Well, I'm not lying. I'm just being honest with myself. Don't worry, today you are princess for me. So milady, please lead the way."
"Huh? Okay, okay. Stop talking like that. I don't like empty word."
Yeah, if she don't like my word, don't show her red face toward me. Her being cute was testing my heart limit to maximum.
After an awkward teasing, we together walked to west area. I was already visiting this area yesterday but only to certain road.
Because she closely accompanied me, I was being less anxious in crowded area full with people. We used the road that busied with walking people and carriage. There was many stalls traded at both roadsides.
The shop building was more compact and dense in main road.
I guessed I can spend all my 'stolen' money here to zero coin.
Cara and me were busy moving from one stall to another stall. We mainly bought foods like meatballs, sweet corns, hot breads, and others.
I ever saw a grilled bat and bear roasted. I understood if people want to eat bat but the bear I saw was red colour bear which more twice size than normal bear in former world. Cara said that bear was beast monster which recently captured by hunter.
I surprised to know people ate beast monster like normal staple food.
We already walked for quite distance. My stomach bloated due to yummy foods from stalls. I might vomit after this. I strongly hold my urge to show my discomfort feeling because the presence of cute lady. I don't want to offend her kindness.
"Cara, we already walk to the edge of road. Does this city always this busy? There is more people here compared to east area."
"West area is trading zone, of course more people visit here than any area of city. Merchants and traders gather here to buy and sell their products. People are attracted coming here because of cheap price of products."
"So, after this, what is our next destination?"
"North area. That area is kind of high privilege because most noble and high standing people stay there. But we can visit the temple and training ground."
"I already visited the temple. So what's kind of place of training ground? Sound like place for soldier."
"You're right, Dylan. Training ground is special place for soldier but they are only training during special event like subjugation duty or war. During normal day, we can rent a horse to ride or practice shooting with bow."
"Sound like healthy place."
We rested in the restaurant shop before going to north area. My full stomach already make me kind of sick, so I only order fruit juice.
But Cara shamelessly ordered full meal for lunch. I think life as a knight was really taxing your energy expenditure, so young girl like Cara need to eat big and big everyday. I wonder of how knight school spend money on food for their students.
After Cara finished her meal while I just lazily sipped my juice, we went straight to training ground. It took 20 minutes from west gate to arrive here.
I can see a small number of people who occupied the training ground with their own activities.
I had experience in riding of horse when I joined equestrian club back then. So I proposed to Cara for trying to ride horse first.
Cara and me rode on each horse. I followed Cara from back because it seems she was more experienced than me due to her skill as a knight.
We both had same type of horse with brown colour. We were just moving slowly in field track to enjoy the scenery around training ground. I impressed because this fortress city can afford to own big garden area inside it.
Then after we completed the lap in field track, Cara suggested to play with bow. Sadly I never tried archery before this so I hesitated about it. But I immediately said yes to Cara after she promised to teach me about bow and arrow.
There was no people in archery ground except Cara and me. So she didn't miss this chance to show how to shoot an arrow. I watched as she pulled the bowstring to her left side and released the arrow to shooting target.
I was just aware she without an armour is defenseless in chest area as her 'plum fruits' swayed slightly as an arrow being shooted. She was being upgraded from nice lady to nice asset lady in my mind.
Opps, my mind had gotten lost with wrong target.
I quickly pick my bow and arrow to avoid she realized with my pervert gaze.
I followed the step same as she shooted an arrow. Unfortunately, my arrow flied in low distance and failed to reach target.
It took me about another six shooting for hitting the target. Shame I didn't have talent in archery unlike Cara. But she was still praising me like I had unlock the first shoot achievement with her innocent look.
Sorry Cara for having thought 'dirty' about you and your plums.
As day had turned to evening, we parted our way again. I said thanks and praised her for being my first good friend in the city.
She was being embarrassed and red in face again. I was always like to tease easy girl like her.
She shyly promised me to meet again when she's not busy with knight training. I told her to put all effort to be top knight apprentice. I ever promised to train together with her as she always train alone in seclude area.
Pretty girl like her should not be alone in dangerous place.
Then she excused herself to return to school back.
Secretly I swore in my heart to have second date with her again.
I remembered that I need to pick up my robes at tailor shop.
I walked to west area and entered that shop. The uncle had already finished the robes. I amazed with my new handmade robes. This was my first step to be a magician in another world.
After that, I returned back to inn. I ate dinner as my stomach had fully digested the morning foods from stalls.
Then, I went to bed and got sleep early.
