We travel through the forest road. Trees and flowers covering the whole area. The beautiful green sceneries on my right and left. I lied down on top of the carriage's luggage cover which made from animal skins.
Grim sat in the front next to Fuyumi in the front. Grim san who hold the reins for the horse. They talk casually like a very close friends. The noises from their talks giving more harmonies to the jungle's rythms of nature to my ears. It was a very pleasant and a warming clatters to be heard. I guess I am really grateful for not being alone in my travel.
I was lying on T position on the top of the carriage's luggage cover with my eyes closed while enjoying everything that offered by this new world. New acquaintances, Grim and Fuyumi. New unagressive animals which spotted and sensed from me around the forest while we're traveling. Even though Fuyumi did say this forest has never endanger anyone without ill intentions ever, It is not hurt to be cautious at all time. Though I also need to be adapted to these abilities of mine as well. It's simply because this is not a game, and literally not like a game even though some of them are the same. But, how they work are somehow can be classified as not the same.
I opened my eyes. Looking straight to the sky which hidden, covered by the leaves from the trees. Slight but beautiful sun lights which breached through the leaves can be seen showing off their feint rainbow colors.
By the way, while we were travelling. I also checked some [skills] back then. I checked on some minor abilities and passives that might be really crucial for me to understand them. Like when I was helping them by slashing those wolves perfectly. I swung the blade without any tremble or failing. Perhaps, it is because of the [Sword Mastery] from the basic [Warrior Class], and [Master of the Blade] passive from the Advanced [Warrior Class], [Blade] Path.
My instinct really knows how to wield it well. I may master it by skills. But, I'm still lacking in knowledge and experiences to wield it. So things like Style or something? I don't quite have it. I might be OP in battle prowess, but against a professional? I don't know. Maybe I will lose to their smart moves and tricks. That's what I speculated.
Next, I did checked on minor skills like elemental magics. [Fire], [Water], [Earth], etc. Indeed I have plenty. But they are from the game, so I expect the magics will be as much as like the game did.
What really makes me wonder is just this. [Summoner]'s Magic. It includes [Summoning circle] which is active or toggled, [Servants Contract] which is passive, [Contract Summon] which is an active skill for summoning the contracted servants, and [Contracts List] which used to see the list of contracted servants and classified as a passive and active ability.
So, I did try opening [Contracts List] but, the list was empty. Does it mean I have to summon it and make the contract manually? Well, it indeed interesting but let's just save it for later. Since I only took a glimsp on some of the summoner's skills.
Lastly, some skills which have the same name have combined description.
[Step Master]
Passive
Rank: -
Gain experience while walking. [Merchant class]
A shadow must master the steps which He/She took. Agile and silent. [Assassin Class]
An excellent warrior must master the efficiencies of the steps he took for his stances. [Warrior Class]
One who classified himself as an explorer, must be very cautious of his steps. One wrong step may lead one explorer to the History. (Traps detecting and disarming ability) [Explorer Class]
I don't really wanna see the bonus stats, they are making my head dizzy. Gah! Thise numbers and % thing. So I have checked some few minors which I may use for my entry and life as an Adventurer.
While I was drown in my thougts while gazing on the beautiful scenery of feint sun lights. I can finally hear some crowd noises. I pull myself up and crawl to the front as the road we're on is turns up like a hill.
Fuyumi turns his head and looked at me whose curious about what sights will be unfold after this hill like road. He blinked at me and smile.
Finally once the hill getting close to the edge, I can slowly see the Large wooden gate and walls which arranged neatly near the forest. It more like they blends in with the Nature!
I am amazed by such scenery and can't hide it from my eyes. I can sense Grim and Fuyumi Laughing slightly after looking at the hyped me. In my mind, it is really like a village of elven or fairies. The guards on the walls waving at us. Fuyumi waves his hand as a reply. The big doors under the wooden gate slowly opened. We passed through the wooden gate, we can see that the walls are thick!! Just look at this wooden portal gate. It's like 4m to 5m wide!!
After getting amazed with such walls' scenery, I am more amazed when looking at the village from the inside. It is actually, and literally, blended with the nature within its vicinity. The trees are not being cut down. Instead, it become a pillar to some big buildings. This is truly a fantasy sight! A literally forest village.
Now I get why this village categorized as a city. It is big enough. This village is surrounded by the trees from the undine forest all over the walls. the districts are well arranged. Residencies, farms, ranch, market, plaza, and chief hut.
Grim keeps on riding the carriage until we reach to a building. Fuyumi get down from the carriage, I as well instinctively following fuyumi, hoping down from the carriage's cover. Grim continues his ride slowly after. Perhaps he's trying to park the carriage and the horse somewhere?
Fuyumi pats my shoulder, I look at him. He's giving a gesture to get in to that tall building and big building with 2 trees on each end blended perfectly with it. From it's length, I assumed this building is like a hotel, 4 floors high.
We walk in to it from the front doors. I can see tables and chairs, filled with few of people having their meals. A wolf-like race sitting in one table with his fellows, an elf man and a bunny-like race having their meals together. On both side next to the doors there are weapon armaments standed. I suppose it is used to store adventurers' or such weapons while they are having their meal/resting here in this lobby.
We walk toward the receptionist, an Elf lady with a pair of glasses. Her body is busty enough packed with good sizes of breasts. I instinctively reacted to them and compared them to my planky chest.
'Sigh.. will they grow later?', I sighed in my mind.
Fuyumi pats my head with his hand. He smiled widely at me.
"Relax Irumi-chan. Someday you will have them too. Perhaps. Hahaha", He laughed.
For some reason I feel like being bullied and shocked hearing that. But looking at his warm attitude, I am sure that he meant no offense. But I'm still a little bit pissed by the words somehow, so I punch his arms without force.
"Ouch, hahaha!", He laughed warmly in a composured manner while walking with me.
We arrived at the receptionist. "Oh my, the legendary Fuyumi-san. Nice to see you still in one shape.", the elf lady greeted him.
"Ahahah.. Nice to see you too. Still as young as ever, Grace-san.", Fuyumi replied. I just stayed in silence watching them.
"2 rooms for 3 nights with meals pleace, Grace-san.", Fuyumi implied.
"Eh? 2 rooms? So this little lady is with you?", Grace asked.
"Yes, under some circumtances we acquaintanced to each other.", Fuyumi answered.
Grace bent her body forward on the receiptionist desk and call for fuyumi to come closer with gesture.
"Hei hei, Is she perhaps, your daughter?", Grace whispered him. I can hear it clearly due to my OP assassin class. Giving me some cold chills on that.
"H-Hei. What the-..", Fuyumi shivered and shocked. "No, No! She's an acquaintance we met on the travel. sigh..", Fuyumi backed away a little from there before implying an answer to Grace's question and shaked his head.
"Fufufu~...", She touched her glasses in such suspicious manner. "That's nice to hear. So I am indeed still have a chance to get you.", Grace teased Fuyumi and blinked. What's with this sudden characteristic changes?
Fuyumi silenced in a cringed gesture. I nudged him with my elbow and grined.
"3 silver and 6 copper coins for 3 night with meals, as for the stable and carriage placement services as usual added 3 more silver coins for 3 days. So total is 6 silver and 6 copper coins.", Grace said.
Fuyumi reached for his money bag trying to get the amounts needed for the rooms. I checked my profile, I can see that my Money only consisted of Gold coins like in the game. So, My gold still the in the same amounts like when it was in the game. 2 billions of gold since it was the gold cap for each character. While fuyumi still nagging on his purse bag, I put out 1 gold coin.
"Can I pay with this?", I asked while giving her my gold coin.
Both of them shocked. "Ah Irumi-Chan, please let me pay for yours as one of my thanks.", Fuyumi said.
"No no, it's okay fuyumi-san. It is also my appreciation for Grim-san and you for accepting me hi-jacking on your travel here.", I insisted.
I give the gold coin to Grace. "Hmm, It is a well made gold coin with the same marking. Sigh.. Can I send you over the change later this afternoon?", Grace asked me.
"Y-Yes, sure. Is it going to be a problem grace-san?", I asked back after answering her.
"No actually. It just happened that we stored the earnings money to the vault vacility in the office district. So we don't have 93 silver and 4 copper coins with us at the moment.", She answered.
"I see. I understand. Nice to meet you Grace-san, I am Irumi.", I introduced myself to her even though it's a bit late.
"Nice to meet you too, Irumi-chan. Grace onee-san at your service.", She introduced herself back to me with a warm smile. She's cute though, honestly.
Then we were given our keys with numbers on it. We moved to the 2nd floor and about to get into our respective own rooms.
