(The continuation of the talking between Arthur and Kazama)
Kazama - "when I was roaming in the forest, I saw that a village was being destroyed by some monsters and under those circumstances I didn't have any choice but to save the villagers"
Arthur - "oh so you saved a village"
Kazama - "yeah but my question is - didn't that village and many more like them are under the rule of The King ?"
Arthur - "you can say that many villages like that are on the ground which are inside the border of the Kingdom of Espin but The King only protects and rules over the people inside the high walls of the kingdom i.e. that are inside the walls are like real Kingdom. And all the other villages like that are nothing in the Kings view so he don't rule over them and don't treat them as a part of the kingdom"
Kazama - "but those villages are under the borders of the Kingdom of Espin"
Arthur - "yes they are but now they are not a part of the Kingdom".
This information made Kazama sad because in times of crisis, the villagers will not be able to accept the help of the soldiers as they are being tossed aside as a sacrifice to maintain the borders under the high walls as a kingdom.
When kazama saw through the window it was pitch dark and he thought that he will get late for the feast so he left immediately after saying his thanks to Arthur and his family.
He hurriedly activated his skill and left. When he reached the north gate he stopped and deactivated his skill then simply walked out of the gate. Then he ran till he reached the village.
When he reached the village, he saw that the whole village is covered in different types of magic. Some fire balls were levitating in the air along with some ice. Then some water droplets were levitating. They were all made from the magic, villagers were poor but some of them have the aptitude for magic so they used it to decorate the village. Kazama walked in from the entrance and he saw that fire,ice and water drops were in the air respectively and were in a organised manner or in a pattern just along the side lines of the road.
When he passed it, he saw that everyone is gathered in the centre of the village and it was a big ground and there are some tables along the sides and in the centre is the villagers. When the villagers saw kazama, they started cheering saying - "Hail hero Kazama, hail hero Kazama".
It's kazama's first time of getting such response in his life so he got happy and is joyfully happy. He went forward and the village chief also came forward. Village chief said "thank you for coming to such a poor village". Kazama replied "it's okay, thank you for having me"
Then they all made kazama to be seated in the centre and they all made the other tables face him and it looked like that kazama is the leader of them. Then the villagers brought food on the table of kazama, it was a big table and many dishes were being prepared. The table got full of the dishes and then villagers asked kazama to taste the food then they all will eat. Kazama took a taste first and said "it's amazing" and all the other people which were on the tables infront of Kazama started eating the food. This moment was special for kazama because he hadn't seen so many people enjoying their food with him.
After they ate all of their food, everyone once again thanked kazama and the village chief said "thank you once again son" kazama replied "it's okay but you don't have to keep thanking me" and then kazama said "then I'll go and the food was very delicious". All of the villagers said in synchronised voice "thank you, and see you again" and kazama left.
While kazama was on his way to the kingdom he thought "this time I saved them but what will happen when someone else attacks them and I won't be there" and on the way he just thought about it. When he was in the forest he thought "where should I sleep? I can't go and sleep on Arthur's place everyday, then I will rent a room in a hotel" and kazama started searching for a hotel. It was dark outside but lampposts were there so there isn't much darkness. While wandering in the street at night he finally saw a sign of hotel, he went in to ask for a room but he soon came outside. That hotel don't have any room left. Kazama said while looking at the hotel "what a let down, this hotel is looking amazing but I can't even use a room" and kazama started looking for another one.
After walking through two streets kazama saw another hotel and his hopes once again became high but this hotel wasn't so good looking from outside and kazama said "it's not so good looking but whatever I just want a room and if I can get a decent room, the looks don't matter" and kazama went inside the hotel. When kazama opened the door, a bell rang which was hanging above the door and its ringing is a sign that customer has entered the hotel, kazama also heard it and went straight then right and he reached the reception. He said "do you have any room?"
The man at the reception told him"yes we do"
Kazama - "ok, what's the charge for a night?"
The man told him "5 Copper coins for a day of 24 hours and 2 meals are included, breakfast and dinner"
Kazama - "ok I would like a room for a single person for a day"
The man - "ok, here are your keys and please pay upfront"
Kazama - "here is your 5 Copper coins"
The man - "thank you, please enjoy our service"
Then kazama went to his room. His room was on the first floor. To get there he took stairs which was just beside the reception. When he climbed to the first floor, he opened the door by unlocking it from the key which he got from the reception. The door opens making a sound - creeeekk. He opened the door and was surprised as the room was very good despite the look of the hotel and said "it's a nice room for a bad looking hotel".
The room has a single bed, one w.c, it was just a simple room with a window, there is a lamp which uses light magic to glow. Kazama was tired so he directly jumped onto the bed with his face and he said "it's time to sleep" and he slept there only in that position. He also switched off the lamp which extinguishes the light magic on turning off.
Night falls and then morning rises.
Kazama wake up and sat up. He had just now woken up and he is half asleep, after some seconds he completely woke up and stood up. Just when he stood up someone knocks on the door, his breakfast is ready and a worker at that hotel is holding his breakfast outside waiting for him to open the door. Kazama opened the door and he saw that a boy is standing with his breakfast. That boy handed him his breakfast and then he left, kazama is holding his breakfast with both of his hands, it's in a tray and kazama closes the door from his foot and then placed the tray on the bed and started eating his food.
When kazama finished his food he left the room and locked it with his keys and placed his keys in the reception till he is out and left the hotel. He thought "maybe I should visit the guild to find a request" and he left for the guild.
On reaching the guild he opened its door but kazama is surprised as the guild is not as busy as ever infact it's like there aren't many customers or hunters today, so kazama went to the reception and said "I want to see requests for E rank hunters".
The receptionist was Miss. Futergurt and she said "sorry Mr.Kazama but from yesterday there's a decline in the jobs requests so currently we don't have any request for E rank adventurers or hunters", kazama said "ok, thank you" and left the guild.
Now kazama thought "what should I do? Hm.….now I don't have any job and I also have a lot of free time then why not push my level, this is the best chance for leveling up so I think I will go and hunt as many monsters as possible in some days and I will also visit many new places".
After this kazama left for the north gate of the kingdom of Espin to get outside.
