Chapter 22 - Countryside Town

"What's in there?"

"Nothing sure"

"Heh... nothing huh? I'll be the judge of that"

Damn it!

The guard opened the carriage's door

He looked around and he seemed to totally miss me

What the... he can't see me?

"Cleared"

He looked away and closed the door. On that second Fin appeared out of nowhere

"I made you invisible. I did waste my mana points a little bit, but it's better than you being found"

He is useful after all. I didn't think of this at first, but... how do I get out?

"We might need to use a little bit of your mana to get out"

"Alright"

He made us invisible again and we tried opening the door as quietly and as carefully as possible

Hope we don't get caught. I don't feel like I'm invisible, but no one sees me so I'd say it works pretty well

We got out successfully... thank the lord

"You can take the invisibility off now. Walk normally and don't use any type of attitude, please..."

Word can spread around fast and if we're known to be arrogant foreigners then it won't benefit any of the parties involved. I'm really hungry and there's not much of a rush... well we should go to the castle before Shin gets there.

From the wounds that he had, I think it'll take at least 5 days the completely heal, but knowing him he would've moved after he became conscious. There's probably someone that helped Shin escaped, but Amber wouldn't tell me even if I begged.

Anyways... the soonest Shin could be at the capital is 7 days, provided he could walk all day all night from the countryside to the capital. Speaking of that someone who helped Shin out would probably be very smart or very powerful to get through the gate without anyone knowing

The prime suspects are Em, Novem, Evelyn, Misa or even Alvin. Anyone is possible really.

"Can we get some food first? I don't want to be hard on your homeland, but the demon realm's food sucks. I've been craving human food for a while now" I seriously need

"I've never tasted human food. This would be quite the experience"

From a distance, there was a great smelling aroma

Bread? A great bakery as far as I'm smelling. Even aromas like these are rare in the old world

"Let's go to that bakery"

"Bakery?"

"A place where they sell bread"

"Bread is just bland and disgusting aren't they?"

"Trust in my nose. I know what's good"

We went in and there were dozens of bread types around. There's even have melon buns

"What would you like Fin?"

"What's that?" he said looking at a strawberry cake with sparkles in his eyes

He fell in love

Apparently, we just have to use of mouths to order. I hope it's actually called strawberry cake and melon bun

"Uhh... I'd like a strawberry cake... and a melon... bun" I'm so freaking awkward with strangers

"Sure! That will be 50 bronze coins please"

Wait... Wait... WAIT! I have no money!

I awkwardly turned to Fin and thankfully he had some spare coins -by spare coins, he meant he has 10 silver coins in his wallet-. I wonder what'll happen if it's stolen... ahh! Can't think evil thoughts right now. You're literally about to be a murderer though...

"Thank you for shopping at Crescent Moon bakery! Come again next time!" W-Was that... a Log Horizon reference? Damn you, author!

Better get walking

"C-Can we eat this f-first?"

"Sure, go ahead. Bone apple tea" Nailed it! Always wanted to say that instead of bon appetit.

He's eating it like it's the best thing he ever had

"It's the best thing I ever had! I actually taste something! It's amazing!"

I'm not wrong...

We finished up and started walking

It's gonna be a long long walk... I sighed from the thought. From the countryside to the capital it's about 120 miles. If we ran 120 as fast as a normal car we'd be there in 2 hours 30 minutes, about.

We walked and walked and we finally got to Edin, the capital.
