Chapter 15: Adventurer trial.
After walking for a while, Kenji took a carriage to the next town, and hoped to arrive there by morning.
" Master Kenji, may I ask the reason why you are leaving to Rendel town?" The carriage driver said.
He was a member of the town where Kneji had just left, and of course knew who he was, I mean who wouldn't?!
But now seeing Kenji leaving began to put question marks in his head. Normally, he wouldn't dare to ask, but he knew Kenji was an easy going person, and wouldn't want to punish him for asking about his private matters.
" Oh! well, I think it was time I left to go and check out other towns. But not as a chef, but as an adventurer," Kenji responded plainly, holding not to the memory of being secretive.
" An adventurer?!" The carriage driver immediately stopped the carriage out of shock and impuslse, but then apologized and continued his journey.
" Master Kenji why would you want to become an adventurer?!" The carriage driver said, shock still clearly evident on his face.
" The reason was all due to the fact that I need to know more about this world, I need to see it all. This world is completely new to me, and I want to see and understand everything about it," Kenji said, not forgetting the real reason for his departure.
He was someone from another world, an alien. But just like actual aliens, Kenji wanted to understand more about this new world of magic and brimming life. He just couldn't pass on it.
He had lived quietly and suprisingly comfortable these past two years, but the thing was he didn't just want to cook, he wanted to see, to feel, to understand. He wanted to grow, and accept more knowledge, that's who he is.
The two kept on talking till it was midnight. There was a small inn not to far away. They were usually built around here so as passing travelers could stay the night once they had begun to feel tired.
