When we arrived in town I was a little surprised.

Everybody in town had dirty and torn clothes, and all the buildings and stores were extremely poorly constructed and dirty.

'How do they live in a place like this?' That was what I was thinking because there is no possibility of living in such a precarious city.

How can a country that has a city like the capital have such a poorly cared with this city? The residents seem to be starving, this is shameful.

We got out of the carriage and I started to look around.

Everyone was acting like this was normal, until Sylphe I thought would be shocked was acting normal.

'Has she seen this before?' It's quite possible that Sylphe already knew about the state of this city, so she's not so shocked about it.

"Did you already know this city was like this?" I decided to ask Sylphe who was standing beside me because she could tell me what was going on here.

How can a country let its residents stay in this state? Residents are suffering, only by their expression can you see how they suffer.

"Well, it looks like the mayor of this city is doing something with the money that would be used for the residents, but even so the king does nothing about it, what remains for the residents is just to be sorry," Sylphe said with a sad face.

She also explained to me that there was nothing we could do because we could not go against the mayor of the city, the only thing to do was to ignore and just complete our mission.

I didn't want to do that, but I think it's the best thing to do, for now, I don't want to get in more trouble and hurt our mission and my teammates.

We were waiting near a building that looked like the merchant guild.

Not even in my old world did I go to the merchant guild a lot, so I don't care about that because I never wanted to work in commerce. I think working as a trader pays a lot but it is also very disputed so I think it is better to stay away from this kind of problem.

I waited outside the guild along with Sylphe, Lutrus and Sheir and the merchant entered the guild. I think he was negotiating the prices of his products I think that's what traders usually do, right?

"Can we walk around a little?" I asked my companions who were with me.

I wanted to walk around the city a little because the state the city was in was unfortunate, so I wanted to see better how the locals were living, and could also help someone I encountered with more difficulties.

'I think it's good to do that.' I've always enjoyed helping people so I think it's good to look for someone to help out here.

The locals here are very hungry, so I think spending a little money would not affect my income.

I got a lot of money from the missions and the cores I sold, so I can buy some food for some locals.

"You can go, don't worry I'd stay here with Sheir, Sylphe will go with you." It was Lutrus who came up with the idea.

I thanked her for her offer and left with Sylphe, as I also enjoyed hanging out with her and I think it's a good time to do that.

I started to wander around town and look for some stores that sold food, but whenever I looked, they just had old bread and horrible looking things.

I still could not believe that people lived here eating this kind of food, this is very poor hygiene.

I kept walking around town until I found a store that looked better.

It said on the storefront that it was a bakery, so it sold bread and stuff, right?

I went inside the store and found some breads that seemed to have a better quality, and found other things made with wheat inside the store, and they all seemed to be of a good quality.

"When does bread cost?" I think bread is like high-mass foods, I think it's better to buy this to give to people because I think it will end hunger more.

"1 loaf is 2 copper coins." The salesman said and he picked up some bread he was being exposed for people to look at.

The bread was of good quality, but was it right to be that expensive? Wasn't 1 copper coin enough?

Now I get it.

Not only can people here not have the conditions, but the higher quality is very expensive, so people end up in the state they are in.

But even costing so expensive I decided to buy some breads.

I bought 10 loaves and spent 2 silver coins.

It was plenty of money to buy bread, but I think it will be worth it. Just seeing the smile of adults and children would help me feel better.
