Shin found Hillk grass in the heart of the forest. He had now 29: one more and the request was complete. His focus renewed, he searched the surroundings carefully. As he did, he noticed a mark moving strangely on the map. “What’s this?” Shin’s interest was attracted by the mark, moving in ways he had never seen before. Wanting to see what that was about, he followed the map towards the enemy. After a few minutes he arrived close to the marker, so he peered at it from behind a tree. When Shin saw…-

Shin finally arrived near the eastern gate, when he noticed some sort of commotion. “Something happened?” There wasn’t a crowd like the day before, but the guards seemed to be interrogating the people passing by, apparently focusing on who was entering the kingdom. Normally, adventurers just needed to show their guild cards to be admitted inside with barely no wait time, but now each one was being questioned, so a queue had formed. There was nothing else to do, so Shin too got in line and waited for…

Shin walked down the main avenue, alone, heading to a place that both Celica and Els recommended. After a while, he spotted the insignia, a fork crossed with a sword. The chef here was apparently a former adventurer, who used foreign recipes and rare ingredients in his menus. “A fighting chef...just like Cook.” Shin remembered the female Rokuten member in charge of cooking and laughed wryly. One of Cook’s dogmas was that she had to catch her ingredients herself: while gathering ingredients she…

Shin left the restaurant and headed to the library. The Hillk grass gathering quest isn't complete yet, but it had no time limit, so there was no need to hurry. Shin was also wary that his actions in the past days meant that he couldn’t stay in that city much longer, so he thought to take care of this other business first. “This must be it.” Shin had arrived in the area midway between the commercial and residential districts. The market’s bustling noise barely reached Shin’s ears: it was a much…

A few hours after Shin started his research in the library, the sun had risen fairly high in the sky: as it happened to all public facilities, it was time for the library too to close for the day. The menu screen displayed the time as 4:50 PM. Shin wasn’t sure if the hours were the same here as on Earth, but mumbled “Just like a town hall or post office huh...” to himself. He thought of going back to the south district, the commercial one, to take a look at the stalls, when his stomach rumbled. It…

The following morning, Shin left the Bear Point Pavilion, walked down the large avenue lined with stalls and left through the southern gate. On the other side, a long queue of people was waiting to enter the country. They probably didn’t make it in time the day before and lined up as soon as the gates opened. There were many merchant caravans, which were probably slowing down immigration procedures. Shin walked away from them, along the walls. Tsuki no Hokora was located between the southern and eastern…

Shin left Tsuki no Hokora and proceeded straight to the northern forest. Things would turn troublesome if he bumped into the guild’s scouting squads, so he advanced while making sure that there was no one else in the surroundings. He didn’t have a specific goal, so he continued simply following his instincts. He felt something suspicious from the depths of the forest, however, so he kept walking in that direction. Naturally, In order to avoid the scouts, Shin was going in the opposite direction of the…

“And it’s over. Okay, what to do now?” Shin said to himself, spear in hand, as he looked around... After defeating the miasma-transformed monsters, the fog had dissipated completely, so the surroundings were completely visible. Honestly speaking, it was a sorry sight. The Skullfaces’ dropped items, weapons and armor, were scattered everywhere, the shrine’s main building destroyed. Maybe because of the magic skills’ aftershocks, half of the Torii gate had been blown away, there were craters and…
