When Aotearoa is finished dressing, she travels to the city to prepare for her journey.
I took Ed out on a carriage to get more luggage to buy.
The store was already open and the city was full of life.
Aotearoa starts fresh foods such as fruit, vegetables and meat, and can be bought from food such as street food.
Next, I went to the clothes store and bought processed fur for Ed.
I also buy some other lanterns for nighttime lighting.
Unlike in the meantime, we also considered the possibility of contact with others because it would be a long journey, and we also purchased tools of normal travel specifications for camouflage.
Even while shopping, some of the luggage was loaded in the carriage, not in the sub-empty storage.
After shopping all the way home and delivering the keys to Hula, we head to Karena's store with those legs.
When I entered the store, Karena and Elmia had all the store numbers.
They notice the door open and their gaze gathers in Ethereal Tai.
"Sorta, are you finally here? The references are written up, see?"
Karena gives Ethereum two references.
"The brown envelope is the examiner, and the red envelope will be handed to my master if I can see him. His name is Naruas."
"Okay, that'll help."
"Then you say this kid needs to talk. Listen to me."
Elmia comes forward in Karena's words.
"Um, do me a favor... I want you to give this letter to my mother."
"I don't mind that, but we don't know if we'll see each other, do we?
Aeta replied as she received the letter.
"Yes, that's okay. I'm supposed to be training for Master Naruas, my grandmother said earlier, so please, if I can see him."
"Okay, because Karena has a lot to take care of. That's how cheap you are."
"Is it time to go?
Aotearoa nods as she writes.
"Oh, I was going to leave before noon. It's a pretty good meal to eat while traveling."
"Be careful. Go. The same goes for immigration, but by then we'll have a tough place to go through the woods and beyond the valley."
"May you have good luck under Mr. Sota"
Elmia puts the elf-specific words in a prayer pose to wish the traveling person well.
"Don't thank me, it's time to go. I'll drop by to say hello when I get back again, so we'll talk about the letter then."
After all the shopping, references and house management errands, Aeta tries to head straight to the West Gate.
However, along the way, I decided to stop at the Inn because of the "Easy Pavilion of the Chicks" that caught my eye.
We reach the inn, and when we go inside, Mirfana greets us instead of the usual millimeters.
"Oh, Sota, welcome home...... isn't it? Welcome."
Aotearoa doesn't care about Mirfana's mistakes and looks around.
"Is Miri not here today? That's unusual."
When I come to the inn, it was always Mili who welcomed me, so I doubt it.
"I'm asking you to buy it before lunch, because she's surprisingly powerful."
"Well, I came to say hello today..."
Milfana tilts her neck and thinks before pounding her hand.
"Uh, I see. Congratulations on your move."
"Thank God. But there's nothing to say hello to... next time I'm leaving town for a while. So, I thought I'd say hello because I took care of you."
Mirfana is surprised by Aotearoa's words.
"Well, since when is that?
"I'm ready, so I'm leaving now."
"So soon..."
"Thank you for all your help, tell them both I said hello. I wanted to take Gordon's cooking on this trip, but I don't have much time, so it's time to get busy."
"Right..."
Milfana thinks a little before turning up.
"Can you tell me which way you're going if I don't tell you?
"It's an elf country. I don't think I'll be able to come home for a while...... everyone do fine, bye"
"That's a long way... please come and be careful"
Aotearoa shook the hand she offered, and shook hands and the two broke it up.
When you leave the Inn, now it's time to head straight to the West Gate.
When I got to the gate, Dan and Elina were coming to drop me off.
Aotea parks the carriage beside the two of them.
"Dear Sota, I miss you, but please come back and see me when you get back. Eat this on your journey."
When Elina says so, she offers a small wrap. The smell of warmth and sweetness appeared from the bag.
"Confectionery, huh?
"Yes, it's a cookie. The maid helped me, so I think it might have been delicious..."
Aotearoa opens the wrap and pinches one.
"Yeah, don't go. Thank you, I'll feed you on the road."
Close the package, stay in the bag, and stroke Elina's head.
"Eh heh, glad you're happy"
Blush your cheeks as you narrow your eyes.
"Lord Sorta. Lady Elvas couldn't come to see me off because of her use, but she told me to make sure she came back safely."
"Oh, Dan, thank you too."
Shake hands with Dan.
"Wait - whoa!! Sorta!!!
I could see Miri running out loud from afar.
The three surprised by the voice stood up on the spot and waited for Miri to approach them.
"Ha, ha, wait, ha, please, ha, ha"
Coming to the side, I try to tell them what I want to say, but my breathing was disturbed and it wasn't a conversation.
"I'm waiting, get your breath ready"
When Miri is told that, she takes a few deep breaths to calm her breathing.
"My mother told me that Sota was going away, and I rushed here."
"I tried to speak to you when I stopped by earlier, like I was shopping. I only asked for a word."
"I'm already surprised. I can't believe I'm suddenly going to Elf country...... is that it? Erina was here to drop you off, too, you two know each other?
The two seemed to know each other, waving at each other.
"I was asked by my lord to drop me off in a relationship I knew."
Aotearoa replies instead of Elina so that Aotearoa never runs her mouth about bringing the medicine.
"It is. I was talking to my grandfather, and I walked into your room."
Elina also understands Ethereum's intentions and talks to each other.
"Heh, yeah. I knew Sota when she stayed with us."
Now explain why you know each other.
"So, Miri came to see me off, too? Sorry to bother you."
"Yes, I had to give your father what I asked for. Mr. Sota, this is the dish your father rushed to make. Thorta liked your father's cooking, so I thought you'd be happy."
Miri hands over the wrap in her hand to Ethereum. This one was still warm.
"Oh, I'm glad about that. Thanks, I still had lunch to help."
Like I did to Elina earlier, I stroke Miri's head.
"Phew, you're welcome"
Aotea moaned her failure after stroking her, saying that she had done it with the feeling of doing it to her child in her heart, but Miri decided to make it good because she seemed happy.
"You two, no, thank you all for taking the time. Then I'll come."
Put the package you received from the two of them on your podium and bid them farewell.
"Yes, take care"
"Please come to the dining room again."
That's what they said, and Dan greeted the salute.
Aotea holds the reins and speaks to Ed.
"Ed, it's gonna be a long journey, but please."
Ringing loudly with Hiheen, the two follow the city.
