Upon entering the village, we walked towards the merchant stands to sell my materials. Along the way there was nothing but stares of confusion and disgust all aimed towards me. I didn't mind because it was a very natural reaction. Though some looks where unsavory nobody tried to interfere with me, this was most likely due to the guard and girl accompanying me.
After selling what I had gathered I followed Cerise to the inn. The inn was very quiet compared to what you would expect, this was due to most people not drinking much until mid or late evening. I walked up to the counter ignoring the stares of the few people that where present.
"Mam, I would like to rent a room."
"Y...Yeah, how long would you like to stay?"
"How much will a week cost me?"
"7 silver coins sir."
After exchanging the money for the keys I went up to the room to make sure it was to my liking. The room was very simple, a medium sized bed on one side, a desk on the other, a bookshelf in the corner, a wardrobe in front of the bed, and a window on the opposite wall from the door. There was a pile of clean sheets and a pillow on the bed and a candle on the desk.
As all I owned was a sharp rock, some water jugs and a very crude axe I set them on the desk and left. I decided it would be a good idea to get a layout of the village just in case. I had Cerise show me around while the guard followed quietly behind us, she showed me the church, the barracks, the magic school she was attending until her departure, and finally the lords mansion. By now it was late evening so I walked back to the inn to have a meal and sleep.

On a roof across from the inn there where two figures with black cloaks, one was a short female while the other was male and of average height. The female one was currently laying on the male one's lap long since asleep. While the male paid no mind to his sleeping friend, he had been watching the window for the last hour and a half waiting for something to happen.
"Hmmm...we've been watching him all day but he hasn't done anything suspicious or threatening." The male one said waking the female one.
"Hey, could you keep it down, I was having a nice dream."
"Fine, lets head home, I doubt we will see anything out of the ordinary tonight."
The male figure carried the female one princess style trying not to shake her too much and ran off in a different direction from the inn.

I woke up early in the morning and headed down to grab a bite to eat. Each meal at this inn costed 3 copper coins. After eating I headed to the barracks to search for the captain, the soldiers said that the captain was at the front gate so I headed there.
Captain: "What are you doing here?"
Mc: "I would like to join the guard team, sir"
Captain: "Your not even here for a full day and you already want to join?"
Mc: "Is that a problem sir?"
Captain: "No it won't be, but you do have to participate in the training or else I can't let you join. The training is quite hard so good luck, you can begin tomorrow at sunrise."
Mc: "Thank you sir."
For the rest of the day I began making myself a mental map of the village, as it was a very large village it almost took me until lunch to get a vivid map of the village. After eating I did another round of the village to get an even better idea of the village and by now I had a decent idea of the layout. After finishing my rounds I headed back to the inn to eat and sleep as the next morning would be an important day for my knighthood.
