Episode 4.1-2
Waking up, Lecan soaked his towel in water left in the washbasin and wiped his body. Once the towel gathered enough dirt, he wrung it into another washbasin. He did it four tis more and used the last of the water to wash his face.
As there's no upscale things such as a desk here, Lecan had his als on the bed. With food he bought and stuffed inside yesterday.
He put on so pri and proper clothes and left the inn.
Since it's getting botherso to hold the bag on his right hand, he puts it inside behind a cover. He his sword as well. And now he's holding nothing.
Lecan doesn't feel too good walking around in downtown with such defenseless attires. All the more when a woman with monstrous mana is waiting at his destination. No, not a woman. It's sothing that takes the form of a woman.
Getting close to that sothing while being this defenseless invites nothing but worries.
If this were a forest or a dungeon, a chance encounter with a powerful enemy would be no problem at all. He simply needs to fight. If he's stronger, the enemy will die, vice-versa, and he's the one dying. Either way, it will end in a conclusion.
Yet, in a downtown like this, just standing around without any an to attack or defend himself before an overwhelmingly powerful foe is just awkward.
And yet, he has to learn how to make magic potions from that monstrous sothing sohow.
"Oh hey, you're here. OK then, let's go on a trip."
"What?"
"You wanted to learn how to make magic potion no?"
"I do."
"Then, first of all, I've got to teach how to gather the raw materials, aka herbs. Fortunately, many kinds of herbs grow all around this town. That's why I'm staying here actually."
"I see."
"So go change to so traveling-friendly clothing, you."
"Now?"
"Now."
Lecan doesn't want to let her know about .
As such, for a mont he considered pretending to go back to the inn to grab his luggage.
But he refrained.
It's not possible to hide all of his abilities from Shira.
Then he should prioritize hiding abilities that he has to hide at all cost, and reveal abilities that are difficult to hide or those he doesn't mind letting Shira know.
"Mind if I change here."
"Yeah, I'll be right outside the door. Co on out once you're done changing."
Lecan put on his favorite black clothes and wore the Overking Bear overcoat.
And then he ponders a bit.
--Shira said 'travel-friendly clothing', but she probably ans that from human's point of view.
He took a bag, stuffed it with so random things, took his sword and sheath and hung it on his waist.
"I'm done."
"Then, let's go."
"You're not locking the door."
"If the door is locked, Jericho wouldn't be able to go buy his favorite snack, don't you feel sorry for him?"
"The ape... the ape magic beast, is going out, to buy food, himself?"
"He's got his favorite stores, you know."
"Won't soone steal your dicine if you let the door open?"
"I an, there's no lock to begin with. If you're worried about the pots on shelves, I've put so tricks on them. Those can't be taken out."
"What about the herbs in the garden. Anyone could break those hedges if they just so wish."
"All the herbs in my garden are difficult to handle. Nobody else would purchase them. Besides, most are toxic, anyone who gets in the garden would experience the ti of their life. Both thieves and neighboring brats have all figured that out. Oh and just for your information, Jericho is in charge of watering those plants, see."
"The ape is taking care of herbs huh."
The two walked to the east gate.
That's fine and all, but Shira is wearing casual clothes no matter how you look at it.
However, Lecan did not inquire her about it.
"Well then, listen. Once we get out of the town, my lesson about herb gathering will take about 20 days. So, if you go straight from the gate for about five thousands steps, you'll find a shallow river to the left. Could you wait near that river."
"Got it."
