Chapter 39: Under the Radar
Just as Senri had said, our destination was a much smaller town than Cemeserra or Engey.
Stone buildings and mud roads. Be it the number of carriages or people, both were a lot fewer than Cemeserra. It was a dimly lit, idyllic little town.
And as one would expect, there was a pit in front of the gate and water was flowing through it, but maybe because it was not properly maintained, the water was almost stagnant. So it did not affect me as much and I could cross it without a hitch.
This is a nice town. There are not too many mercenaries around and it is not too deserted that we cannot conceal our presence. A customary glance around tells me that the shops sell all the bare necessities. Provided we do not have a tail on us, staying here for a while might not be too bad.
Ahh, if only the shadow amulet had not been destroyed… I could have kicked back and relaxed.
My eyes promptly locked in on a food stall when I felt Senri tug on my arm.
Senri was able to rest on my back on the way over. Maybe she was tired since we travelled without taking a break, for she did not look very good. Although I suppose leaving the woods without much of a preparation was the main reason.
She was trying to hide her fatigue but I could tell from her smell.
All I have done is cause her trouble. She even had to gather all the necessities in Cemeserra. Although I did want to help, there were not many shops open at night.
