Day 93: Towards Marga Town!
Holy Era 6102, Month of the Seven Night Horses, 15th day.
Weather: Sunny
Now, it was finally the day that we depart for Marga Town.
I have to make sure that I don’t forget anything… Ah, I don’t have a map.
We can buy one on our way out of the town. While we just have to follow the road, I am still anxious.
After finishing breakfast, we left the inn and did some last minute shopping at the market while making our way to the south gate.
There were many wagons and carriages moving near the gate.
…Ms. Nico, you’ll get in the way if you wander too much.
Ah, but they are nice. Carriages… I wish I could ride in one.
We could have rented one if we had money… But there was no point in complaining now, so let’s do our best on foot!
Adventurers made money on their feet! That is the foundation!
I said excitedly, but… It really is rough having to walk in this heat.
As I wiped the sweat, Ms. Nico started to rummage in her pouch.
She then took out a vial with silver liquid.
And then she drank it in one gulp.
Hey!? You’re just going to drink that because it’s hot!? Isn’t that really valuable!?
As I looked in shock, Ms. Nico handed me a vial with a puzzled expression.
I couldn’t help but accept it, but… I will be just like her if I drink it…
Wait, Ms. Noa!! Why are you drinking it without hesitation!?
You can’t bear the heat? Come on!!
Hmph! If that’s the case… If that’s the case… Then I’m going to drink it too!!
…The results of drinking it… The heat vanished, and it was easier to walk.
Uh… Still, if this continued, I wouldn’t be able to warn Ms. Nico anymore.
Ah, before I knew it, Ms. Nico was drinking some other medicine.
…The journey to making her a serious human being would be a long and difficult one.
We walked like that for some time, and just before the sun started to set, we reached the planned camping site.
It was near the forest by the side of the road. There was even a small river nearby.
As the heat didn’t bother us, we arrived a little earlier than expected.
And so while there was still time left, we decided to set up camp anyway.
I pitched the tent, Ms. Noa cooked the food, and Ms. Nico walked around the surrounding area.
She wanted to see if there were any unusual medicinal herbs… She really was a free spirit.
I had actually wanted her to help me with the tent…
We had bought a large tent this time, so it was a little difficult to pitch it by yourself… Next time, I would have to ask her.
Ms. Nico returned just as dinner was ready.
And she was holding more medicinal herbs, seeds and mushrooms than she could carry…
How did she gather so many in such a short amount of time… I was a little impressed.
Ah, as for the night’s menu, it was a dried meat soup, vegetable salad, bread, and salted grilled fish from the river.
I caught the fish after pitching the tent.
Still, this was a great meal for eating outside. That’s Ms. Noa for you!!
After eating, it was decided that Ms. Nico and I would take the first watch.
As I gazed into the bonfire, Ms. Nico was absorbed with grinding some herbs.
Yes, she had completely forgotten about being on watch duty.
…It was a good thing we were doing this together.
Hah… I hope we can reach Marga Town without any trouble…
