Chapter 28: Farewell Glorya
I visited the drugstore in the city of Glorya, and after having a similar interaction to the one I had in Speranza, I ended up giving the owner, Calum, one of my "Delivery Tablets" to vastly reduce the price of my potions.
Calum actually sold the potions at an even more expensive price than Saul did in Speranza, but once I explained to him the reason why I was even making those potions in the first place, and that I wanted them to reach more people, he was surprisingly understanding for a merchant.
After explaining to Calum how to use the tablet, we were free for the rest of the day to keep touring the city. Thankfully, the duke's family, except for the duke himself, were there to show us around from a resident's perspective. Well, the nobles' perspective was probably way different to a commoner's, but I still appreciated it.
As we walked down the main street, I noticed the noble family was drawing a lot of attention. Not in a bad way, but we were definitely sticking out.
"You guys don't walk around here too often, huh?" I asked them in a joking manner.
"Mhm, not because we don't want to, of course... But, after events like the one yesterday, it makes it harder for us to be out in public with no worries..." said Lady Karina with a somewhat sad tone.
("I see... Now that the bandits were all taken to jail, they feel they have some free time to roam around before they go back to their mostly secluded lifestyle...") I thought.
"Well, you know... If you get any more problems like those guys you can call me, and I'll make sure to drive them all out of here." I humbly offered them my help. I knew it was strange for me to feel bad for a noble family, but I truly did. These people didn't look or act like the type of nobles I didn't want to interact with, and I was done with the whole "only do things for End Town" deal.
The way I thought about it, if I left the city and then some other gang sneaked in and actually managed to kidnap Lady Triana, then there would have been no point in everything we did the previous night. Besides, I didn't want another regret for not doing anything.
We kept touring around, stopping at the different shopping stalls around the main street. Food stalls with meat skewers, jewelry, silk and other fabrics, fruits and vegetables, they had it all. Vespera was having such a good time that it made me feel even worse about the fact that Yoru couldn't join in the fun with us.
Lady Triana must have felt my inconvenience with her "True Color Eye'', because as soon as I thought about it, she asked me if something was wrong. So, I told her the truth. Triana seemed to like Yoru a lot anyways, so if anything, she would understand me.
