When I was Reincarnated into a Game World, I Was a Farmer’s Son - Chapter 62
Chapter 62
We finally arrive the first town of our journey. It is a small town not much different from Northern called, Sente.
By the way, small towns like Northern and Sente did not appear in the game, even if they actually did appear in the game, those small town or villages had no name.
Arriving at Sente, me, Saros and Meruru go straight to the inn to book our room for the night. It’s already past noon now, we are planning to rest in this town for the whole day and continue our journey tomorrow.
“Sente is a small town, but they have delicious fish here! I know a great restaurant here! Since we’re here, let’s go there for lunch! My treat!”
I try to refuse Saros’ kind offer, but he keeps insisting and starts walking towards the restaurant saying it’s fine. I have no choice but to follow him.
Meruru, who is excited and can’t wait to eat fish, is full of energy as well today.
The restaurant is really close from the inn, we just need to walk for a little while to get there. Even though it’s an old and small restaurant, it is very clean inside, it seems like the restaurant is really well-maintained.
When we enter the restaurant, all the seats are full with people eating, so we have to wait for our seats.
After waiting for a while, we finally get our seats. We sit down and order the fish dish recommended by Saros.
Not long after ordering, our foods are served to us.
The fish dish is actually quite large. It is not very salty, but it is steamed with various herbs, making very tasty and giving it a very pleasant aroma.
Phew, I’m completely full. By the way, did Meruru really finish eating all of it? Impressive.
When I ask Saros about the dish, he said that the fishes here are caught in the Natchez River, it is the large river we will need to cross in order to get to Sains.
Natchez River is a long river that flows through the Eldor Kingdom from east to west.
In the game, the royal capital is also known as the city of water. The royal capital has a lot of intricate waterways, all the water in those waterways flows through the Natchez River.
By the way, the Natchez River is free of monsters. It is due to the fact that it was created by one of the final bosses, the god Eohaz.
We are planning to leave the town tomorrow and arrive at the Natchez River in about a day. Then we will cross the river by boat and set a camp on the other side. After resting for about a day, we will continue our journey by going through the forest.
I’m looking forward to see the Naches River. In my previous life, I had never seen such a large river before, and the fact that we will cross such a big river with a boat makes me excited.
After having lunch, I go to shop with Saros, who is carrying Meruru in his arms. Meruru is taking a nap. We go to buy some food and other necessary supplies for our journey.
When we are buying our supplies, Saros noticed that the prices are higher than usual.
According to the shopkeeper, the prices of foods have been gradually increasing because the influence of the Murasaki disease.
After we finished shopping, even though the sun is still not set, we decided to take a rest and relax at the inn. I lay down on the bed in my room and close my eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Knock Knock*
I wake up to the sound of the knock on the door.
I wonder who is it? It’s already dark outside, it seems that I’ve slept for quite some time.
When I open the door, I see Saros standing in front of my room.
“Let’s have dinner at the inn’s dining hall.”
Saros told me so.
“Ah, yeah. Hmm? Where’s Meruru?”
“She’s sleeping, I tried to wake her up, but she is sleeping very soundly, so I just let her sleep in our room.”
Saying so, the two of us head to the inn’s dining hall.
“Neil, I have to thank you.”
Saros said so while bowing his head.
I wonder what got into him all of the sudden.
“About my daughter, Meruru. She seems to be having a lot of fun with you, Neil. I’ve never seen this excited before.”
Saros and Meruru have been travelling together for about a year.
He didn’t tell me why he is travelling with such a young child, but it seems that he knows he is giving Meruru a hard time.
Meruru is a very shy kid and often had a gloomy look on her face, it’s as if she doesn’t fit in every place they travelled.
Because of that, Saros feels happy seeing Meruru enjoying herself for these past few days. Hearing Saros words, I feel happy that I can bring a smile to Meruru’s face.
“I’m the one who should be grateful. You and Meruru has been such a great help to me. I don’t think I could have such an enjoyable journey without the two of you.”
With a shy smile, Saros lowers his head and says,
“No, I’m the one who should thank you for everything.”
