"I can feel a big shard in that place, or near it… The other's… not here exactly, but very close. Underground?"
I looked underground and stopped myself from recklessly unleashing my Divine Sense, which might alert everyone I was a God, I cannot investigate things in detail without revealing my divine powers in the middle of the streets. But I was sure I could sense sothing down there.
"Underground? So they have one hidden, maybe?" Wondered Benladann.
"Perhaps… This is going to be a bit hard. We'll need to either find a way down or dig. I don't want to make a fuss and end up letting everyone know I am a God, that might bring retribution from Fate, or whoever other God might be here could co for ." I sighed. "Alright Slis, its up to you guys."
I covered my hand with Illusion Magic and quickly let a few dozen tiny slis go out, which separated from my hands as each of my fingers turned into a tiny sli, camouflaged so nobody could see them.
"I'll let them go loose to find a way to the shard underground. The other seems to not be so hidden, it is in that castle or the temple behind." I said. "Now the problem will be taking it away and all…"
"Well! For now let's just enjoy ourselves! I want to eat so seafood- Oh, it's our turn already!" Yuki said, jumping out of our group and talking with the big and burly Shark-type rman selling grilled seafood skewers.
"A beast girl! It is rare to see your kind around here little… rat girl?" Wondered the Shark-headed fellow.
"I am a monkey chinchilla!" Yuki angrily said. "Anyways, I want that big oyster over there! And so grilled salted fish… Oh, and do you have more lemon?"
"Hahaha you're so little yet you've got so much appetite!" Laughed the man, he was rry at least.
We quickly walked to her side.
"Sorry about that, we are with her… Hey Yuki! You're not my kid, stop acting like a baby all the ti." I reprimanded her.
"E-Eeeh?! Aw co on!" Complained Yuki angrily.
SMACK!
I gave her a gentle reminder that if she acts cocky and screams at like that she'll get a nice gift in her head.
"Ouch, ouch, you're the worse, hitting such a cute girl like ee~" She began weeping, but we all ignored her.
At the end, we ended buying almost everything the man had to offer us, leaving with tons of food in our hands. Even the silent Ruby with Rakasha and Ruby's mom were enjoying themselves. Thanks to Ruby's special bloodline, those that drank her blood would gain high resistance to sunlight, although it still weakens them, it doesn't hurt them enough that they'll begin burning while bathing on it.
"Hmmm… This place's pretty. The entire city is decorated with tons of statues and decorations. So areas of the floor are paved prettily with shiny ceramic, and there's several small temples where people gather to pray to their god of the sea." Said Ruby, her analytic prowess was quite surprising. A little comnt gave us a lot of info we were missing.
"Yeah it is quite pretty… I had never left our ho ever before. Knowing and seeing new places really excites … there's so much to do and see everywhere!" Her mother seed enchanted by the entire place.
"Milady, do you have to hold my arm as tightly though?" Sighed Rakasha.
"I-I am a bit nervous in new places so bear with it Rakasha!" Ruby's mother seed to have grown very attached to Rakasha. I can tell there's sothing romantic brewing in there.
"Wait, you're right though…" Pekora noticed, pointing at Ruby's comnts. "Ruby, you said these areas are paved and prettier, but where we ca from, all houses were mostly made of wood and there wasn't any paved floor… there's a clear difference between the areas where rich people live and where the more… humble families do."
"Oh, I hadn't realized that…" Ruby said. "Probably because I lack experience in exploring places and all of that… But yeah, there's a clear difference- Oh, look, there's kids roaming around."
Suddenly, as we were walking to the nearby plaza, a bunch of kids, so as little as my two daughters, approached us. Benladra and Kate imdiately noticed them, as they were kids just like them, the two were naturally interested in them.
"Please, can you spare a coin mister big giant?" Suddenly, a little pink-haired rmaid girl with sli-covered gills approached. She looked very pale, and rather sickly.
"W-We're hungry…" A boy with corals growing over his left arm showed up, he also had a sickly appearance, with sli covering his gills.
"P-Please anything will do! Please!"
"We are starving…"
"Nobody feed us!"
"A coin, a little coin will do!"
"Would you buy this flower if you don't want to give us a coin for free? I-It is a dicinal flower I picked up!"
The pink haired girl approached as she showed a blue-colored flower, nad Aquarian Flower. It wasn't actually dicinal, but it had so relaxing effect once consud.
I felt slightly shocked over this happening. Is the situation so bad in here that children go out the streets asking for food? This is beyond what I expected…
"Eh? Y-You kids are starving? And would you look at all of you! You're all so pale…" Benladann quickly gave them all the attention she could.
"Ya hungry?" Wondered Benladra, quickly sharing her salted grilled fish with the pink-haired rmaid. "Here! Eat! Fo free!"
"Uwaah! T-Thanks!" The little rmaid quickly began eating almost desperately, to the point she chocked and began coughing. "Cough, ugh…"
"Rose! Give so! Don't be greedy!"
"I want so too!"
"Give it to !"
"No, it's mine!"
The children started fighting over the salted fish, the little rmaid didn't wanted to share it with anybody, ferociously eating it before anybody could snatch it away from her hands.
"Alright, alright, calm down. I've got tons of food if that's what you want… But first, where did you co from? Are there more like you here-"
However, before they could answer, a group of guards approached us.
"Halt in there, you damn nasty brats!"
