CHAPTER 2
Ah, I slept well. Where is thisā€¦ Ah, thatā€™s right, I came to a different world.
Shin-chanā€¦ I want to see youā€¦ Uun. I have already died, didnā€™t I? At that place.
I have caused you trouble. Maa, you already have a husband, so you will be all right even without me worrying about you. Letā€™s assume that the wedding of my grandchild went well.
Now then, what should I start with today?
First, letā€™s confirm the baggage. God-sama? said he put it in my pockets, but. I also have to check the money in my bag.
Although I have received 2 Gold Coins and 5 Silver Coins as compensation, there were over 50 White Gold Coins when I paid for the bread at the bakery for some reasonā€¦ I wonder who gave it to me? God-sama? It canā€™t be helped, can it? Perhaps itā€™s part of the money I carried on the passbook while moving. He must have noticed that. Nice one, God-sama.
I forgot. I canā€™t live without money, can I?
Pocket, pocketā€¦ Ah, this is it? While searching with my hands and imagining pocket, I found it. Can I take it out, I wonder? I carried quite a lot. Because the billboard said it could carry ten days worth, I bought it on impulse. That reminds me, I have to change. Even though I sweated so much yesterday, I was so tired I fell asleep without changing. Yoishotto.
It came out. The carry-on. Somehow, it feels really out of place in this world.
Oh, well. God-sama left it as is so no one will probably complain. I crammed a lot inside. Clothes, washing tools, cosmetics, medicine, snacks, and flavorings. I mean, I wanted my home townā€™s department storeā€™s specialties. Brown cane sugar and honey, herbs, dried food, cookies, and jam. Seaweed salt, miso, malt, soup stock pack. Cookbook and home medicine book. Seeds I intended to plant in the garden.
I packed a lot, didnā€™t I?
The miscellaneous canā€™t be helped, itā€™s me, after all.
Well, letā€™s change clothes and have breakfast first. I have become quite hungry.
I returned the carry-on to the pocket. I should make shoulder string? for the bag. It will become easier to carry.
Ah, would it be better to divide the money a bit? Letā€™s leave the 50 White Gold Coins and one Gold Coin in the pocket and wrap the rest in the scarf.
Having 1 Gold Coin, Silver Coins, and Copper Coins in the bag at hand should be enough.
If it costs 3 Silver for three nights, Gold Coins should be about ten times that. I have thought that I could buy only five loafs of rye bread with 1 Silver since I one cost 2 Coppers, butĀ jarajaraĀ change was returned. I wonder if someone could teach me the units?
Kyu~kurukuruā€¦
It looks like my stomach reached the limit. Which reminds me, I have not eaten since yesterday morning. I didnā€™t get to eat in the castle, in the guild, not even in the inā€¦
Letā€™s go to eat. What does this world offer? Iā€™m looking forward to it~
The first floor of the inn looks like a dining room. I delicious fragrance is floating around.
怌Good morning. Would you like to eat~怍
The innā€™s mistress calls out to me.
怌Yes. What kind of meals do you have?怍
怌Mornings are bread and soup怍
Eeh, the menu is just that?
怌Then, I will take that please怍
First of all, I lower my head and request.
怌Right away怍
What she brought me was soup? in a wooden bowl full of ingredients. The broth was on a scarce side. Also, a thin slice of rye bread.
Looking around, the soup seems to be eaten while scooping it out with a spoon-like tool, and the bread torn to pieces and soaked in the soup.
My first different world meal. Fufufun. I scooped potato?-esk thing and ate. Un, itā€™s a potato, itā€™s brown, though. This is? Ah, carrot-ish. Itā€™s pure white, though. How about the meat~ Pork? I guess. It tastes bland, though. I wonder if salt is the only ingredient. Itā€™s boiled well, butā€¦ Ah, bread soaked in the soup is delicious. A slight sour taste follows after the saltiness. Butā€¦ I feel a bit hypertensive. Letā€™s dip the bread only a bit. I wouldnā€™t like to die again before getting to live leisurely.
Mokiyumokiyumokiyuā€¦
Thereā€™s taste when I bite and chew, but itā€™s hard. It canā€™t be helped, Iā€™m an elderly. I still have all my teeth, butā€¦ I prefer soft things. I bring moisture in the mouth full of bread.
The beverage seems to be an ordinary water. Itā€™s morning, after all. But, even if not liquor, I would like tea. I donā€™t see anyone drinking tea around, that means either that tea is expensive, or thereā€™s no custom of drinking tea.
Letā€™s look for herbs earlier than planned. I want to drink tea. I wonā€™t say green tea or black tea. I want to at least drink herbal tea. Coffee as well, if possibleā€¦ If they donā€™t have that, roasting beans for a coffee substitute would be fine as well.
This is an urgent business. My life depends on it!!
I have decided to look around the market today. For the healing of my leisure life.
怌Iā€™m going out. Do I return the key to you?怍
The innā€™s mistress was at the innā€™s entrance, so I call her and ask.
怌Yes, where are you going today? What are you going to do about dinner?怍
Ah, I was already asked about the dinner. That means lunch is going to be outside. Un.
Because I will be most likely tired in the evening, I answered that I would eat the dinner at the inn.
Letā€™s look for a book or something to learn about this world. Also, do shopping at the market. Eat a lunchā€¦ There are many things to do, but I have no idea where to go.
ā€¦ā€¦ How troubling.
Ah, thatā€™s right. Donā€™t I have to just request for a guide in the guild?
That being decided, letā€™s hurry to the guild.
ā€¦ā€¦ Un, I canā€™t get inside the guild. There are too many people. Well-built people are going in and out. Umm. What to doā€¦ā€¦
ā€¦ā€¦ ā€¦ Ahā€¦ Thatā€¦
ā€¦ Excuse me~ ā€¦
Un? I hear a voice from behind.
怌Yes? What is it?怍
When I turn aroundā€¦ Nobodyā€™s thereā€¦
Tsuntsun.Ā I feel pulling on my skirt. N? Maa, isnā€™t that Maris-kun?
