Chapter 19 - Finding the Bear’s den

Chapter 19

Finding the Bear's den

After Lily ate the Parfait, I handed the other Parfait to the nurse and requested her to give it to Lily later.

I also told Lily that since she was a very brave girl, as a reward she will get 2 parfait.

With this, she will try her best to overcome her fear maybe.

After that Lily asked Philia san about the news about her parents.

Philia san could only say that, since the villagers were scattered in different places, it would take time to search for them.

Listening to that Lily became quiet and sad, almost on the verge of crying again

But maybe she remembered about being brave and getting the parfait as a reward, she held back her tears. How brave.

I could not stop myself and gave her head pats praising her as a good girl.

She didn't understand what I said but still seemed to be happy being patted and closed her eyes with a happy smile.

We decided to leave Lily there for some more time.

Since her weakness was not cured yet that was the only option.

I was told by Philia san that she had already talked to the sister at orphanage and she would take care of her from tomorrow for the time being.

She will come to pick her up in morning.

With our work done We were seen off by Lily and went outside of the clinic.

Seems like its time to part ways with Philia san and Robert san.

(Philia san thank you for everything...

Also if you donot mind can I come to see you off when you leave for stampede subjugation.)

(Like I have been saying Ray kun, this much is nothing....

About the subjugation, we are leaving tomorrow morning after breakfast from the south gate....

But it will be hassle right.)

(No! Philia san I will definitely come to see you and others off...

I will wish for everyone's safety tomorrow so please allow me to come if possible...

Also I hope you will remember our promise to let me treat you after return)

(Oh Ray kun such a stubborn boy you are...

And of course you can come and I definitely remember our promise...

But keeping that aside, are you sure you will be fine on your own...

You remember the inn I recommended you right?...

Also, I still think you should take this money, yet you keep refusing me)

Actually on the way here I had already asked Philia san about the recommended inn to stay.

One with cheap rate and good food.

She had also offered me money, saying that it was payment for saving Lily, on behalf of Knights.

But of course I refused that.

I know that it was just a convenient lie of her to give me money.

(Yes philia san I have remembered all about the inns and restaurants you recommended...

And since I can communicate now, if I will forget, I will ask someone so don't worry...

And as I said earlier I cannot accept the money...

I plan to find some work and sustain myself)

(Well Ok. But still if you find it difficult, come to us ok...

Also this is your temporary citizenship proof...

Make sure to carry it always ok...

This will be valid for ten days...

So during that period make sure to go to town hall and register there as citizen Ok.)

Philia san had explained me that getting ID was important, otherwise I could be fined heavily and it was necessary to leave and enter a town.

She also told that I could get a citizen ID from town hall at the city centre or a guild card from one of the guilds as ID.

Ofcourse I will not tell her that I plan to become an adventurer.

Because as the caring type Onee san she is, she will definitely oppose me doing a dangerous job.

But lets not tell her that and be a good boy.

(Yes)

(Then Ray Kun see you tomorrow morning. Bye~)

(ok, Bye Philia san)

Saying that I waved bye to both Robert san and Philia san.

I also said bye to Robert san through telepathy separately, which he replied with an unexpected words.

(After my return, We will have rematch of chess)

(Sure. But I will win again, Robert san)

To my smug reply he just smiled wryly and waved good bye.

He is a good uncle.

But damn you handsome uncle, you have it all, looks, personality, stable job.

Anyway, I have observed that during these days, my social anxiety has reduced a lot.

Now I can talk to beautiful people like Philia san and others quite normally without getting nervous.

Although new people still make me nervous and I still get scared.

But its definitely improving.

I think its all thanks to Philia san's caring nature that is healing me.

As expected of my guardian angel.

Seeing them gone, I decided to go to the inn that Philia san recommended.

The inn was in the adventurer district, which was a little away from the commercial district.

Here the shops were adventure oriented.

It was here that we came yesterday to procure weapons, armour and potions.

I made my way to the inn's location.

Philia san said that it was in the same street as the Moomoo bakery, and had a sign of bear eating honey.

I soon found the said sign. It was quite easy to spot. The Inn's name is 'Honey Bear's den'.

Quite a cute name.

I entered the shop and there was a bell that rang automatically on entering.

"Irashu" (Welcome)

Someone welcomed me in common language.

When I looked at the counter, there really was a bear at the counter.

Actually no. The person was huge with brown bushy hair on head, and cute round ears.

She had the face of a gentle human mother with bear like ears and hair.

I scanned the lady.

--------------------------------------------------

Name ---------------------Mrtha

Race ---------------------- Bear Beastman

Age--------------------------30

Gender ------------------- Female

-----------------------------------------------------

She is a Bear Beastman allright. Hence the name of the inn.

I bowed and greeted her in common language.

Actually I have already remembered some words in Ellisium common language.

So I can atleast greet and say thank you.

Then I operated the Telepathy magic tool and connected with her.

As we began to glow pale blue, I spoke

(Excuse me I would like to rent a room here...

Is there one available for a single person....

Also I donot know the common language so, I am sorry for speaking through telepathy like this)

"Oh...."

(Hello! Is this working, Am I speaking to you?)

She seemed to be a little confused at first but when she tried speaking in mind, she was able to talk to me.

(Yes Mam, I can hear you)

(Oh wow, this is the first time I had a conversation in such a way with telepathy...

You sure are skilled in magic for your age...

But to not know common language, did you come from somewhere far away Bochan? )

(Actually it is this magic tool that is helping me, I am no mage mam...

And yes I came from quite far away...

My name is Ray by the way. Nice to meet you.)

(Oh my ! I forgot to introduce myself...

This the Honey bear's den inn and My name is Martha...

Me and my family run this inn. Welcome Ray kun, Its nice to meet you too...

So you asked for a room right? They are available...

Would you like a single room or a share room for 6 people...

Single room is a silver per night and share room is 5 big copper coins per night...

The food costs 3 big copper per serving and is served in morning and night)

Prices are Ok for me. Currently I am left with about 11 gold coins, 30 silver coins.

As I observed since yesterday, gold coin is equal to 100 silver and 1 silver is equal to hundred copper.

And the coins have big versions for making it easier to carry.

For example big copper coin is equal to 10 normal copper coin.

Now one might think that how can value of 10 coin metal equal to a slightly bigger single coin right.

This is because the purity of the big version of coin is much more while the smaller ones have large impurities.

Also about the prices, it seems that 1 gold coin was enough to live for a month for a single person, even 2 if they live very frugally.

Back to my talk to the Mama Bear san here.

(Yes Martha san, I would like a single room for a day with dinner included. )

(ok that will be one silver and 30 copper....

Also breakfast is served from 2nd morning bell to 3rd and dinner from eighth bell to ninth....

If you will be extending the stay, do tell me before tomorrow.)
