"Hmm? Any problem?" The burly NPC who led the others alongside the merchant turned back and glanced at the NPC who had collided with Sato.
"Nothing, boss. Just some dumb kid who had his eyes behind his head." The NPC answered nonchalantly.
"Okay. Just keep your head focused on this mission."
"No problem boss. Isn't it just to find a kid and his sickly mom? This should be easy."
As the duo discussed, Sato had already reached his carriage and taken a seat as he waited for the carriage to get filled.
Some carriage stations operated by time which meant that at a certain time, the carriage would depart regardless of whether it was filled up or not, just like it's done in almost every transportation company in reality. At the same time, some carriages operated on a different system that required the carriage to get filled with passengers before it would leave. The station Sato had arrived at worked in that exact way.
