"Travel to other worlds?"

"Yes, for example, we could go to the world you come from"

"Mmm ... I don't want to go back ... or at least not for now"

"I plan to go to a world that does not possess much difficulty living there, but should be technologically advanced and is preferable that has a lot of monsters but not too strong either, so we can raise our level without much danger"

"What world would it be? And when would we go?"

"I haven't decided yet, I would be thinking about it for the rest of the day, we better go immediately, tomorrow, probably. We should have more strength to be safer in this world."

"Tomorrow? I haven't got used to this world and now we have to go to another ... haaa ..."

"Is for the best, I don't feel calm having to interact with people 50 levels higher than me who can kill me because they don't like the way I look at them.

While I try to think of an appropriate place, for now, let's walk through the city of Barl and see what interesting things it has "

"Didn't just say you don't want to interact with people now? Have you changed your mind so quickly?"

"Hahaha, I can't suppress my curiosity either. Besides, if we find any danger our weapons can buy us enough time to leave for another world immediately and it's not like we go are going to the slums of the city. We will walk through the main streets"

"Fine"

After talking for a moment we decided to walk around the city, I think about keeping the grimoire away, it transforms in a ball of light and it disappears inside my chest as before. We leave the room and go downstairs to the reception.

We meet the little lady hobbit again and she welcomes us with a smile. Next to her are 3 small girls and a boy. We interrupt their talk with our presence and they turn their attention to us. When we arrive at the counter, she asks.

"What did you think of the room?"

"Not bad"

"Unn, They are my children, the girls help as waitresses at the bar and the boy helps his father in the kitchen and other works of the inn, so you will probably see them often walking around here. If you need anything you can ask them. Go on kids introduce yourselves "

"I'm Leina the oldest, I'm 17 years old"

""We are Dela and Delu, we are twins and we are 15 years old""

"I'm Ulen, 13 years old"

"I am Tena and am the youngest with 10 years !!"

"How cute!!"

Kurisu runs and hugs the smallest ... I feel envious. Well, I will have my time at night, but still, everyone seems younger than what they say ... having a mother of 33 years with the appearance of 10 makes sense.

"Come on Kurisu, they are not toys. You can disturb them"

"Don't worry, they are used to it, I didn't introduce myself, by the way, I'm Vila and am the owner of this inn"

"As I said before am Alexander, and the one who seems to want to kidnap your children is Kurisu ... I don't mind saying it, but is it some kind of formality to say the age when you introduced yourself here?"

"No, that's just a hobbit habit"

"I understand ... Well, we'll both go for a walk in the city for a while, we’ll probably be back for dinner. At what time do you serve food?"

"After 8 pm”

With a nod we leave the paradise of the lolicons after handing the key to Vila, Kurisu sadly releases the hobbit girl and follows me. We will return at night, you can play with her all you want when we return, don’t put that face.

"Do we look for something to eat? We only have breakfast"

"Sure"

With that in mind, we walk down the street looking for an establishment or place where the food looks appetizing. Crossing a few streets we find a street stall with some customers, if this has people who frequent it there are only two options. The food they serve is good or has a beauty serving it, any option works for me.

"Let's see there"

We approach and see a grill with several skewers of meat in it with the oil flowing making the fire squeak. It is a pity that the one who attends is not a beauty, but the food looks good. Before I can ask something Kurisu speaks.

"From what animal is the meat?"

Right, there was that thing with Melanie in the morning, I don't want to eat goblin meat either, so it's good to confirm it first. The owner of the stall looks up from his product and answers.

"Ostrich"

Ostrich? Does he mean those super developed chicken? Maybe it's the chicken equivalent here. I have not eaten it but for me is acceptable enough to fill my stomach. I look at Kurisu and she nods.

"Give me four of those please"

"Working on it"

We sat at the bar and he immediately gives us a plate with the 4 skewers. Each of us takes one and blows it to cool it. I take a bite and the juice of the meat floods my mouth with each bite, the taste soaks my tongue and causes me the urge to swallow.

5 minutes later the plate was empty, without further choice I order another 4 and the process is repeated. Should I bring food from this world to the other? I will miss the glorious flavors of Gaia ... no, is essential to take it to another world. After having eaten 6 skewers each one of us, I asked the owner for the bill.

"How much is it?"

"16 skewers for 5G ... 80G"

"Here are 100G, sir, how many skewers do you still have?"

"Emmm… I don't know, about 200?"

"I'll take them all"

"Eh? All? But what will I sell for the rest of the day? Besides, they're not cooked yet."

"It doesn't matter, I want to cook them myself and you can go home early today. Are you are OK with that?"

The man thinks about it for a moment and then starts counting the skewers, after a few minutes he counts the 200, leaving some left to sell, but he will probably finish them very soon.

"Here they are, it would be 1000G"

"Here is the money, can you take them to the inn ‘Sweet dreams'? Also, if you can prepare for tomorrow 500 more before sunrise, I'll give you 3000G for them. What do you think?"

"It's a deal!! I will be there tomorrow before the sun rises and when I finish here I will take the 200 you paid me and deliver them "

With that agreement, we left the stall and continuing to walk around the city to digest the food. I think the estimate of 1, 000G per day was wrong if people in Gaia eat more than normal ... Fuuu.

"They were good, but it was necessary to buy so many?"

"Tomorrow we will leave for another world and probably cannot taste Gaia's food for some time unless I take it with me"

" Eh, how long will we last in the other world? Will those be enough?"

"I think it will be enough for a while"

We continue walking down the street observing people and the stalls, it seems like it’s a peaceful place, if you exclude the weapons that you will occasionally see being carried by the adventurers, it was a normal city. No one was looking for problems specifically, probably because they could kill you if you did something like that or the laws made by the Lord who rules here were strict.

Loitering for a time a shop that specializes in weapons caught my attention. It was a respectable building and many adventurers came in and out of it. It will not harm go to window-shopping for a while. With that, we enter the weapon shop.

From what you could see they sold all kinds of weapons, it was like seeing an exhibition of ancient times in my world. Prices varied, weapons that my evaluation did not have a range have a value from 500G to 1,000G, those of rank J rose to 3,000G-5,000G and a few of rank I cost up to 6,000G-10,000G.

Kurisu's equip consists mostly of objects of rank [I], she wearing about 30,000G on her. Well, she can't say that I've been stingy with her. I approach the counter where a small man with a beard is to check something. Noticing him, the question that I was thinking went to the drain and my mouth speaks by itself before I realize.

"Are you a muscular hobbit?"

"Nonsense!! I'm clearly a dwarf, do not go and confuse me with those little scrawny. Brat why you are in this place? We do not make toys here"

"Old man, don't get like this. I haven't seen too many different races."

"I'm not old I'm 17 years old! I'm the youngest son of the blacksmith in this store!"

"Fuck! Don't lie, you seem to be over 40 if you're going to reduce years, make it more credible."

"Ku-hum, Alex if it bothers you that they confuse you as a woman, don't criticize others for their appearance"

"Right, I'm sorry ... young man"

"Tch, what do you want or you just came to bother?"

"No, I wanted to ask if you have weapons similar to these."

I take my colt and ask Kurisu for the rifle that is on her shoulder and show them to the dwarf. He takes them and analyzes them in detail, then his eyes shine and respond.

"You're lucky, brat, I have a similar one and since am in a good mood I will give you a special price of 10,000G for it"

He runs to some trunks behind the counter and takes out what appears to be a very old rifle, of which you had to insert a rod to introduce the bullet and the powder charge. But before he can deliver it to see it, the voice of a man is heard and then he comes out through a door in front of Kurisu and me.

"What was all the hustle and bustle from before ... useless son you're selling the nonsense you bought to some lucky guy who wanted to get rid of it and found the idiot indicated"

"D-dad, this ... they asked about this weapon, I didn't offer it to them !!"

A thicker man with a longer beard than the one who attended us comes out, he bites a pipe and looked annoyed, when he sees what his son was in the hands, he roars in rage.

"Does the gun have a problem, or isn't it worth what he says?"

"Mmn? How much did he ask?"

"10,000G"

"If you ask me if that value is worth it, I will have to answer yes. This idiot paid 15,000G for it and taking into consideration the power of the weapon I wouldn't say it's expensive."

"So what is the problem?"

"Take out the projectiles useless son !!"

"Y-yes"

After talking with the new dwarf, he orders the other ol-... the young man dwarf with his words and this searches again in the previous trunk, he takes out 6 small metal spheres and a small package that should be gunpowder or something similar.

"Only these projectiles are remaining, although it would be more expensive than creating an arrow it is still possible to make the metal spheres, the problem is the small packages, I have asked alchemists throughout the city and they cannot create these.

So after you use those 6 shells, in the best case you will be left with a 10,000G stick to wield and defend yourself, and with its value, it does not mean that is resistant, it will probably break after some blows leaving you with nothing.

If you want the weapon to be useful you will have to look for the one who made it and ask for more projectiles to be manufactured "

"I see"

Saying that I turn to see the young dwarf who was trying to sell the gun, che, really someone with a black heart. Well, I wasn't going to buy a gun anyway, I just wanted to check what Aurora told me.

"W-what? You were the one asking about the gun"

"True, but I can't buy it if can't have more projectiles. Sorry to waste your time, if we have a chance we'll come another time. Until then."

Saying that I say goodbye to the two dwarves and we return to the road, well, what time will it be? Is dinner already at the inn?

[It's 7:20]

Can you know, Aurora?

[Of course, the system can also show you if you wish]

It is more pleasant to hear your voice. It's time to return to the inn, hopefully, the food is as good as the meat skewers from a while ago.

[Fufufu ... I understand, I can tell you whenever you like Alexander]

"It's time to return to the inn"

"Great !!, let's go back to the den of those little cuties"

I look at the map at the location of the inn and walk to it through other different streets from what we came to map the area, but always trying to go on the busy streets. It takes us about 20 minutes to see the "Sweet Dreams" sign. We enter and it's lively inside, the bar business seems to be going well too.

""Welcome""

Were they Dela and Delu? The hobbit twins welcome us, they are undoubtedly prettier than the dwarves ... they trot up to us and speak again.

""Dinner will be in a moment, it will be sucker stew. You can go to the bar and wait or we'll take it to your room, what do you want?""

"What do you want to do Kurisu?"

"I'd rather eat quietly in the room if it's okay"

"You've heard her, please take both dishes to our room"

"Sure! Also, someone left that for you."

One of the twins says pointing to a box and the other goes to the counter, takes out the key, and returns to hand it to me. I hand the key to Kurisu and take the box whit me.

With a nod, we walked to the stairs to go to our room. We pass the two floors, Kurisu opens the door with the key and everything is the same as we leave it, I enter and when the door closes I throw the box into the inventory. I walk to the bed and lie on it, then Kurisu sits next to me.

"You can say it was a quiet day today"

"You're right"

"Have you already decided which world we will go to?"

"I thought about it while we were walking, it will certainly be an interesting world"

"Mmm, I don't know if I should ask ... I don't think we consider the same things interesting"

"It is a similar world from which we both come ... or should I say, it was? The point is that it meets the requirements that I said earlier"

"Haaa ... anyway, I promised to follow you and I will do just that"

I smiled and she does too, when we enjoyed the quiet atmosphere created someone knocks on the door. I get up in a jump and approach to open, but not before asking who it was.

"Who?"

"" It’s us ""

I open and let the twins in, they go straight to the small table the room has and places the two plates and a basket with bread on it. They turn and say in unison.

""Enjoy it""

Then they walk beside me and go out running down the hall, I close the door and approach the table at the same time as Kurisu does. After a couple of minutes we finished, I have no complaints, everything we have eaten in Gaia has been delicious. After eating, Kurisu goes to bathe and when she finishes I do too, we settle in bed and sleep while waiting for tomorrow.

............

[Knock]… [Knock] [Knock]

The next day the sound of someone knocking at the door awake me, I yawn and try to get up, but I am prevented from doing so by Kurisu who is surrounding my back whit her arms, she hugged me like a pillow. I don't mind because I was lying on two soft warm cushions.

"Kurisu, wake up ... Kurisu, if you don't wake up I'll play tricks whit you while you're asleep"

"Hnn? ... what's wrong Alex?"

"I need you to free me to open the door"

"To free you?"

With my words, she sees our situation with me over her, while she hugs me tightly. At the same time she blushes and release me, I get up and go to the door that sounds again.

"I'm coming, one second"

I open and there is the tiny owner of this inn, I look at her and she smiles at me while saying in a good mood.

"Good morning, I'm sorry to wake you up early, but there is a person downstairs who brings a package saying you ordered it."

"Package? ... ah, the food. Please tell him to wait, I'll go down now"

"Of course, by the way, breakfast is ready. You can have it whenever you want."

I close the door after Vila turns around and proceeds to equip the armor while I tell Kurisu.

"Let's go down, we'll have breakfast and leave to go to another world."

"Yes"

I meet with the street vendor of skewers and I pay 3,000G for two boxes with these, he happily runs out. Then we headed to the bar and ate, breakfast was fried eggs of some kind of animal. We finish eating and proceed to say goodbye to Vila when I give her the room key.

"Thank you for staying here, don't you want to extend your stay for a little longer?"

"No, we will leave the city now and probably won’t be back in a while"

"It's sad to hear that, take care and you should stay here when you return to Barl"

"Sure"

With that, I take a box and Kurisu another and leave the inn "Sweet dreams" listening to Vila shouting goodbye.

"Have a good trip guys and make sure to come back"
