Unlike the royal capital where guards just stand watch without asking questions or charging tolls, it is natural that in this port city they search people who want to access the city.
Within my research this is because they care for and protect the alliance with the Wood Elves. So they must protect the safety of the place where the Wood Elves gather to trade with humans.
Wood Elves might seem super friendly and approachable, but they really don’t let other races into their territory. If it weren’t for the fact that they are very sociable and interact with other races, I could almost swear that they are a very xenophobic race.
But although they interact with other races and are not xenophobic, the Wood Elves do not allow any human to freely enter their cities and towns. So, the Wood Elves prefer to co to this city to trade with their spices, cloth, and other products and materials, as well as co here to buy everything they need and want.
So after entering the city I was not surprised to find many Wood Elves walking along the main street.
"Woaaa~ So many Wood Elves! ~ ~ " Magen exclaid from beside .
"Although I would like to say -Stupid, there are also many elves in the Royal Capital-. But you are right, there are many elves . . ."
"Hnm!~ That’s what I said, YOO!"
Well, to be honest, it does surprise . Although there is not an equal population between elves and humans in this city, the ratio is at least for every three humans there are two Wood Elves.
"Thirty? For that amount I could buy two boxes of _that_ in Caryatidborg. . ." An elf, among a group of Wood Elves, waved his hands in anger.
"And I give you a word of blood: there is no other lot like this in the entire East. Pure. Unadulterated. And with seal intact." A middle-aged human shopkeeper put on a firm expression without taking a step back.
It seems that the elves are used to dealing with humans. I could hear the sa conversations in various groups passing the city wall.
The entire main street, which seems to go directly to the port, is full of street stalls with many people buying and selling different types of objects and products.
Elves and humans also enter and exit shops on each side of the street with signs ranging from drawings of threads and needles to what appears to be a hamr and anvil.
There are also beastn as well as dwarves and the so-called demons of this world. Portus Coillbenn seems to be a pleasure district but on a large scale.
But although it seems like everyone is going about their business, the mont I pass by everyone turns to look in my direction. I’ve been thinking about grabbing a dark wizard cloak like Kara’s to hide my figure.
The good thing is that it didn’t take long, in a few minutes we arrived at an Inn, a large building, for this world, with four floors and about fifteen ters high.
I, who is the supposed leader of this adventure group, doesn’t have to do anything. Professor Rudelle has been in charge of requesting the rooms and paying for them.
"Two per room. Apart from the boys’ room for Vremya and Destan, the others decide who they share a room with!"
Rudelle gave a key with a nurical symbol of this world. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught Destan’s eyes sparkling. I an, it’s not like we didn’t already share a room on our previous Quest.
"Destan, co on."
"Yes! Vremya-san"
Destan took his backpack and followed towards the stairs. It seems that he forgot that Magen and Xifia still carry so luggage.
"I’ll stay with Kara as always~" Dianeira took Kara’s arm, who only made a sign of understanding with her mouth.
"I don’t want to stay with Magen again. Tikshna this ti I’ll stay with you~"
I... I..."
"So what!
"Do I have to stay with this old spinster hag!?"
*PUM~*
"Ayy! Why do you always hit !!"
"Then answer! Who is the old spinster hag?"
"You..."
*PUM* *PUM* *Tock*
"Ayy!"
The last blow sounded hollow...
Although I couldn’t hear anymore because of the distance.
After a while, Destan and I went up to the second floor. Behind us ca Dianeira and Kara.
I have no problems with our rooms being on the top floor. But it doesn’t have an elevator...
At least it’s only four floors...
"Destan ~ How about you change rooms with ?"
Dianeira approached with a smile.
"Yo..."
"Don’t pay attention to her, she’s just playing. Destan always rember to stay alert with won. Especially with won like Dianeira."
I rolled my eyes at Dianeira and dragged Destan into the room by the arm leaving a laughing Dianeira.
After taking the key out of the door and closing it with magic, I walked towards one of the two beds in the room and taking off my backpack I left it on the bed.
I was about to throw myself on the bed when a cramp attacked . This ti I felt the inside of my belly contract in spasms.
"Is sothing wrong?" Destan seeing standing in front of the bed asked.
"Just a stomachache, I’ll go out for a mont"
I placed the palm of my right hand on my belly and said.
On the train trip I received letters, like from my sisters Vasi and Sera, from Helice, Ingrid, from Ragna the missing one. Apparently Ragna went out on a Quest and didn’t have ti to tell , or so I think since I haven’t read any of the letters yet.
I also have letters from Nerissa who I haven’t seen in a long ti and the boys Leif, Kjell and Freyr have written to . Apparently the boys already feel that I am part of their group. In so way the three remind of Regina, Gretchen and Karen Smith, but perhaps because of the current academic level, middle school and not high school, the three are not yet -an Kids-.
But from whom I received three letters today, they are from Miroslava Corinth, from my mother, who although it does not seem strange to that she writes to a lot, I can already imagine what she says in her letters.
I have not seen my mother and she did not co ho last night, I did see my aunt Kaleria but she did not tell anything, perhaps because the person in charge of giving all the strengthening and purification potions was my mother.
And Mom’s letters show that Mom has forgotten to give the red potion every month!
Maybe mom’s potion is special, but I can’t believe there aren’t normal potions that won in this world drink on those days of the month!
So I have no choice but to go ask my teacher in charge.
Walking out the door of the Magen room, Xifia and Tikshna were in the hallway.
"Vremya!
I was about to call you, Professor Rudelle said that we can go down to dinner at the inn’s restaurant or we can go out but not be there until very late.
What do you say?"
Although I would love to go exploring, I’m not in the mood right now.
"Let’s try the local food. It seems that Professor Rudelle chose the best inn in the city. And tomorrow we can explore"
I’m not just saying this to avoid going out, from the exterior façade to the interior design and my and Destan’s room are top notch.
Building materials such as stones and wood are excellent. Also the decorations on the walls, the magic lights used, vases and paintings, and the rug that made clean my shoes with magic are top notch.
But now I’m not in much of a mood to appreciate it. (Or as in the future I would realize that this inn is owned by Liana’s family)
"Well, it will be as Vremya says~"
"I’ll look for Professor Rudelle, leave your luggage in the rooms and then go down to dinner, don’t forget Destan, Dianeira and Kara"
I waved my left hand and trotted down the stairs to the inn’s lobby.
I feel that if I let go of my hand from my belly or stop transmitting mana from the palm of my hand to the inside of my belly, everything will turn into bloody chaos.
Without feeling the four flights of stairs I reached the reception and found Rudelle in the distance at a bar sitting drinking from a wooden jar.
"...Professor Rudelle"
Quickly reach the teacher in charge.
"Huh? What’s wrong Vremya?"
Do you want to drink liquor? "Boys should not drink liquor."
Professor Rudelle turned to look at as soon as I called her, her face is flushed and her breath is full of alcohol.
"No, I...
I need help with sothing..."
"YOO~ Leave everything to , tell what’s wrong" Professor Rudelle made an exclamation imitating Magen and then laughed.
"Ehh...." Now, seeing Professor Rudelle like this, I don’t know if I trust her...
Thinking about it, not even ten minutes have passed since I went up to the room at the inn and when I went down to look for Professor Rudelle, I can’t believe that she is already this drunk...
"Co on, don’t be shy, tell your teacher what’s bothering you~"
"Well... I..."
And so I decided to tell Professor Rudelle. I’m sure Mom has already talked to my teachers about the things they need to keep in mind about .
So I had no reluctance to tell Rudelle that I was having those days that usually happen to girls. In this world, although won have been divided into two genders, they are still won in essence.
So it is normal that they have thods for care at those tis of the month. And there should be potions or magic for that.
"I understand, that’s why you’ve been feeling bad the whole trip...
Don’t worry, I’ll go to an apothecary to get you a potion.
You’re not allergic to anything, right?..."
"No... As far as I know..." Although at ho they take great care of , like an expensive and fragile vase, there have not been tis when I get an allergy from eating sothing or in spring when there is a lot of pollen in the air...
Then, with her face all flushed—I couldn’t tell if it was from the booze or what I’d just told her, Professor Rudelle agreed to help .
