2-2 arrival! Astrea, Sacred Capital

The holy city of Astrea is covered by a high and sturdy outer wall throughout the city. In addition to that, the outer walls are covered with advanced junction magic, so they prevent any monster attack.

And in the heart of this city stands a splendid castle called Arcadia Castle, the symbol of the city. They say that various magic studies are carried out in this castle, that there are training centers, above all the headquarters of the Federation of Adventurers, and that they are also used for some sort of assembly of great people.

There is also the security of the city of Astrea, the exclusive knighthood of the Sacred Capital, the "St. Knights of Astrea", and a group of adventurers who carry out the surrounding requests. Apparently, this knighthood is a pioneering group of adventurers with minimum A-rank and above.

Spending such time listening to Astrea's explanation from Walnut ended the process for the two of us to enter the Holy Capital.

"Heh, you're finally here! It's too late today to look for an inn... I didn't have any money."

"Pfft, you knocked down a few monsters along the way, didn't you? If you sell stripped materials, you won't have any trouble living for a while. Just go to the market!

The Holy City of Astrea has four boulevards, east, west, north and south, mainly Arcadia Castle, with plenty of lodging, houses, shops and more lined up around its four streets.

There are still quite a few people living in this world even though it is night and there seem to be a lot of shops open.

For now, they went into a store like a grocery store dealing with monster material that was just around the corner as they entered town. When I walked into the store, materials from various monsters and minerals were sold all over the wall.

"Wow, you're selling a lot of stuff. So where do you sell the material?

"Maybe there's someone at the store in the back, so ask me."

Later I heard from Walnut that the material was so rare that it was sold behind the store. When Takumi went to the back of the store as Walnut said, she said she wanted to sell the material because she had an uncle's clerk who was one year old and told me to wait and give it to her.

And when I'm done appraising the ingredients, I'll call them, so they want me to wait in the store, so when I get back to the walnut...

Walnuts were excited to look around at the ingredients alone.

"This is the corner of the phantom beast!! Whoa! There's even Fire Dragon Hook Claws over here!! Price is...... 100 gold coins!? Too tall......"

Apparently, when you become an adventurer, you get excited when you see rare materials. If he became an adventurer, Takumi was called from behind the store as he watched the walnuts raw and warm.

Apparently, we're done appraising the material.

"Look, all three silver coins and five copper coins."

"Ah, yes. Thank you."

Talking to Walnut, one of whom was excited where Takumi sold the ingredients and also increased her money, she gave it back to me, and the two decided to look for an inn with rice.

As I walked through the city, I pulled Takumi's sleeve to see if the walnut walking next door had found anything.

"What's up?

"Hey Takumi! Let's go over there! I've stayed there once, every room is big, and most importantly, the food is delicious over there!

The building Walnut pointed to was white in colour, with high ceilings on the ground floor, and a beautiful four-story building wide in the back.

"Then shall we do it there? How much is the lodging cost?

"Surely it was fifteen copper coins a night with three meals?

"Well I'm still not sure if it's expensive or cheap, but okay..."

When they entered the inn, the first floor was apparently a liquor store, just like the Inn in Ende Village, and it was busy with people from the town after work, etc.

Walnut walked into the store and quickly went to speak to the janitor woman in the back.

"Good evening, admin! I'd like to rent two rooms for one night or two with breakfast, dinner, okay?

"Oh! Long time no see, Walnut. Unfortunately, I only have one room available right now... Hmm? Two rooms means you have someone with you today?

Takumi came late from behind the walnut to gently meet the janitor.

"Oh... I see..."

Then the admin woman looked at Takumi and nodded as one convinced her to look surprised. What the hell is going to happen?

And when Takumi heard there was no room available and tried to suggest to Walnut that he would look for it in another inn, he began to say that Walnut was outrageous.

"Mm-hmm... okay! One room is fine! The room is huge and you can handle it!

Yes, the moment Walnut said it, the janitor looked surprised for a moment and then looked at me niggling.

But not in such a glance, Takumi was black-and-white with her eyes unable to understand the language of walnuts today.

(Hmm? Uh... Mr. Walnut? Do you want to sleep in the same room as a man who normally meets and hasn't stood up so much yet??)

Later on Walnut told me that Walnut really wanted to have dinner here, and that sleeping in the same room as me and putting on the balance apparently won the food.

And when the janitor asked Walnut if he was his boyfriend about Takumi, he blushed and denied it. I don't know, it hurt a little, even though it's obvious.

That's how I sat in my seat and waited for dinner while the two of them chatted, and dinner was carried.

"Ooh..."

"This is it! This is what I wanted. Yo!

The main dish was a bowl of seafood with plenty of sea delights that only lived near an island country called Yamato, and other salads with plants that could be picked near the Sacred Capital, and the rest brought soup with stock from medicinal herbs that warmed my body when I ate them.

The momentum was waiting for him, and Walnut was slurping his favorite bowl of seafood in his mouth.

"Mm-hmm! Mm-hmm!! (Wow! I knew this seafood bowl was the best!!)"

"Haha, just calm down and eat"

Sure, this seafood bowl was pretty tasty. I thought Walnut chose this inn to eat this too.

Takumi accidentally turned her attention to the walnut as she ate a bowl of seafood. Then, a walnut pouring a bowl of seafood in his mouth accidentally stopped his hand when he could see him wearing citrus fruit from time to time.

Takumi's hand stopped and the walnut tilted her neck wonderfully, noticing that her expression was cloudy.

"Takumi? What's wrong?

"Oh...... no, it's nothing"

(Speaking of which, you liked citrus vegetables and seafood bowls... I haven't even been able to buy it for you for two years now. I wonder what the citrus vegetables are doing by now...)

They finished their meals and headed to their room while they were eating thinking that way.
