Chapter 128 Dawson’s Journey Part 2
I wanted another beer, so I walked downstairs to order one .
The first floor was a restaurant . In this town, this probably counted as a mid-class hostel .
All the other hotels were full, and this one was as well . My room had been the last empty one .
Because of that, the restaurant area was full of people .
“Hey, kid . Are you traveling alone?”
Just as I was ordering another beer, a man spoke from behind .
“Yes, I am . ”
“Are you here to replenish your stock ?…You don’t look like a merchant . Is there anyone around here that you know?”
“Who knows . What about you?”
“Me? I’m here to stock up . But…”
“…Have you encountered any issues?”
“The merchandise I was looking for is gone . I wanted to buy some foreign products from the east, but there seems to have been some kind of conflict there . ”
“Conflict?”
“Yes . The Boltique mafia is causing trouble . Going to the east right now would be quite dangerous . ”
“Are the people on top doing anything about that?”
“I believe that the duke sent out some guards to deal with it, so hopefully things will calm down before long . ”
“Oh…is that how strong the guards are?”
“Yes . Even the knight’s order probably shouldn’t underestimate their strength . ”
“…What?”
“Don’t glare at me like that, it was just a hypothesis…Kid, are you related to the knight’s order somehow?”
“No, sorry . I just look up to them a great deal . ”
I seemed to have been glaring at the man before me without realizing it .
With my hand I rubbed my brow, trying to smooth out the crease .
“I see . In that case, sorry . How about seeing for yourself? Someone like you who looks up to the knight’s order would probably be able to learn something from the experience . You look quite strong yourself, so there shouldn’t be much to worry about . ”
“…So Dida’s gone as well . ”
I murmured to myself .
The man tilted his head as he stared at me . He seemed not to have caught what I said .
“No, it’s nothing . Is the east well-known in this territory?”
“Of course . It’s the main area for trade in this area . Rumor has it that it was the first place Lady Iris went after inheriting her current position . ”
“Oh?”
“There are also several popular tourist spots in this territory . If you’re here to see the sights, I’d suggest you visit not just the capital, but also the east and the south areas . That way you’ll understand Lady Iris’s accomplishments . ”
“…Is that so? Thank you for the information . ”
After that, I returned to my room, mulling over what to do next .
“…The east, huh . ”
I’d make a few more rounds in the capital…and then follow in her footsteps in visiting locations .
These are the thoughts that ran through my mind as I finished the second beer and went to bed .
