Chapter 22:
Will the worthless salaryman find his worth in another world?
Chapter 22
A day out with a little bear sister
(Well fine but only if I am free....
But if I found out that you took money from someone else, then the deal is off and I would even tell your mom about it without caring about what happens to me. Deal?)
(Deal. But really. So Onii san was a possessive brother type huh....
You could have said so earlier you know...
I would have readily agreed to it anyways.)
(I think what you are making out of it is quite wrong...
We donot have that kind of relationship, I just want you to be my guide in the city and you just want treat every time you accompany me. That's it.)
(Sure sure, whatever you say~...
Now I will go and bring my shopping list...
After that meet me near the Moomoo bakery....
You know the bakery just around the corner of this street. Ok. See you there than)
(Ok)
So she wants ice cream from moomoo bakery huh.
Well that bakery sure has variety. Maybe I should also try something from them.
The only problem is I don't have that much money on me.
But I don't hate spending it on Ice cream for Milli chan.
She told me about so many things and she will even guide me in city.
Moreover, she is like a cute little mischievous sister,
Plus, how much can an ice cream cost anyway, a few copper will not hurt right?
Moreover, I am also saving on lunch today, so it balances out.
After that Milli went inside and Martha san came with lunch.
It was salad, soup, bread and roast chicken.
It was definitely very delicious. The salad was fresh and served with various sauces and seasoning.
The soup was thick and rich, especially the drumsticks gave quite the flavor to it.
The chicken was also good. It was definitely worthy of its fame.
(Thank you Martha san. This is truly delicious....
I have not eaten such food in 44 years of my life.)
(Huhuhu...What are you saying, 44 years....
You are too funny Ray kun....
No wonder my daughter was so happy after talking to you....
Keep being friends with her Ok)
Really, was it funny? If only Martha san knew that it was all truth.
She wants us to continue being friends.
Well I am 16 and she is too, so its natural for us to be friends.
But I already consider her as a young sister since I never had a sister in my previous life.
(Yes.)
(Good. Do you want seconds?)
(No Martha san. I am full. It was very tasty; I think I overate it)
(Fufuf...Flattering an old lady like me is not good you know...
Well then I will go now. Have a good day...
And also don't give Milli too much snacks Ok, she will get spoiled.)
(...Ok)
She winked at me and went away.
Like mother like daughter. Seems like Milli was right.
She knows all about her mischiefs.
Seeing her winking did make me blush though.
Although I am slowly getting resistance against charm of women here, it still not enough.
Onee san type and motherly type are my weakness.
Milli also made me nervous initially.
But she somehow has mischievous personality that made me forget about being nervous.
And I started seeing her as a little sister.
It's all because of her unnecessary teasing.
Ofcourse I admit I am a closet pervert and that might be the reason for my nervousness.
But I am a sensible pervert, and also I want to behave as a gentleman to others.
Maybe everyone is like that I think, except for people who are completely driven by money or fame. I hope I am not the only weird one.
Finishing my food, I went outside towards the Moomoo bakery.
There Milli chan was already waiting for me outside.
Seeing me she waved her hand. I also did the same and we both entered the shop together.
(So what do you want to eat?)
(This Chocolate honey ice cream.)
She pointed at the ice cream kept in steal container covered and surrounded by wood containing ice and salt.
Sees like refrigerator magic tool which I saw at the magic tool shop is not used here.
It might be too expensive. So wood container filled with salt from side is used instead.
(How much does it costs?)
(5 big copper coins)
Holy moly, its expensive than a meal at the inn.
But it's a sweat so, it might be because sugar maybe hard to make.
I handed 5 big copper coins to Milli chan and then she happily went to the clerk aunty and bought her ice cream.
I decided to let her finish her ice cream there before moving.
Milli wanted to talk about something so I connected her.
(What is it Milli chan? Is it not to your liking?)
(No infact it is very delicious, thank you so much Onii san,..
Why don't you get something yourself?)
(Oh.. I do not have much appetite since I just had food.)
(Want to try some from mine?)
(No, I am fine)
It might be very tasty for her. But the thing is I don't like honey. It's too sweet for me.
After she was done. She asked me where I wanted to go first.
So I asked her to take me to adventurer's guild.
The guild was in same district, 3 streets away from our inn.
It was a big building 4 story tall and quite wide.
It had a sigil of sward, shield and magic wand on it.
(Milli chan will you be fine inside?)
Considering all rugged looking people going inside, I thought it might be good for her to complete her task meanwhile.
(Yes it's a little scary Onii san, But since Onii san needs me I can go with you.)
Why is she becoming so sweet all of a sudden?
Wasn't her character that of a naughty mischievous child.
Maybe after I told her that I worried about her, she has developed some feelings of worry about me. Anyways
(No Milli chan I will be fine alone...
You go and do your shopping for the ingredients...
And after you are done, you can go back to the inn.)
(Are you sure onii san?...
They look very scary people to me...
Generally, mom only allows adventurers who are newcomers that are not very aggressive, at our inn...
So when looking at the real ones now, I am really thankful to my mom)
(Yes, be grateful to her and help her at inn and be a good girl ok...
Don't trouble her too much. Now go. I will See you at inn.)
(Yes. Bye bye ~Onii san)
(Oh before that a quick quiz for my test at the adventurer's guild. Are you ready?)
(Suddenly what! There will be no test you know,
Well fine it can't be helped I will show you that this Milli is very smart and teach you all I can.)
(What is the name of this country?)
(Neopatras Kingdom. Easy hah!)
(Name of the current King)
(Regulas Romaro Neopatra, next!)
(Name of this continenet)
(Continent? I don't know what is that Onii san)
(No problem next, surrounding countries of this kingdom)
(Umm umm... Rolgar Kingdom, Drezar Kingdom, umm...I don't know the rest.)
(You are definitely very smart Milli chan.
How about I treat you to another ice cream next week..)
(Really?)
(Yes. For that reward here's the last one.
Name the farthest place or country you have heard of)
(Uhhh...I remember some time ago an old man who came to our inn told me that he went to the end of the world.
What did he called it ....Dra...Dradal. yes . Dradal.)
(Oh. Good girl good. You are so intelligent)
(Ehehehe)
Saying that I stroked her head and she became happy.
After getting some basic knowledge that could be used while filling my adventurer's form I said good bye to Milli and then she went towards the food market.
I feel bad for deceiving her, but I have to do what I got to do.
The things she said may not be all correct but atleast I would know something similar to what a 16-year-old knows in this world so it will work.
I know I should have gathered much more information before coming here by talking to Milli at the inn.
But I just got impatient. I don't think there is so much to worry about.
The only problem I will face is telling them about my origins and reason of coming here if asked.
We'll see what happens next. I am sure I will be able to make up something if I was asked something else.
With that I decided to enter the adventurer's guild.
