The three of us walked along the street, Raisa and Kurama walking hand in paw, with me trailing behind.
Finally arriving at a café that had outdoor dining on a terrace the hostess lead our party to a 4 person table, Kurama selected the chair next to Raisa instead of me.
[Feels like I should be just transferring his ownership to her, since he's openly abandoning me here]
Staring at the menu with wide eyes.
[None of these dishes make any sense at all, I can read all the words easily but I have no idea what half of them mean, and it certainly doesn't help that there aren't pictures]
"You ok Satou?"
"Uh well, it's just 'gulp' I can't fathom these dishes, I can read fine but it's like I don't know what the words themselves mean…"
Raising a hand to conceal a laugh before returning to her composure.
"Well in that case I'll order for both of you then, Kura's going to want meat I'm sure"
'nod nod nod'
"As for you Satou what's your favorite food?"
"Hmm, well usually I would go for a dish that uses rice, like the food I served in the tunnel, but otherwise I like dishes with beef"
"Huh, with what?"
"Beef"
"What the heck is gun.. i.. cu"
[huh so wait words that don't exist here appear as the original language, great now what do I do, i served her food before using earth words but she must've just eaten having trusted me without knowing exactly what she was eating]
"Hmm let's see it's cow meat."
Her head tilted a bit.
"'ugh' bull, tauren, tauros"
I starting to fire off every bovine animal I know from mythology to videogames.
"Oh I see, do you mean mino?"
"No clue, ha ha, what kind of creature does mino come from?"
"Well it's a bipedal animal similar in height to an orc, but with massive horns on either side of its head their usually C or B ranked monsters who live in mountainous regions but occasionally can be found on grasslands"
[Hmm from that description that would mean it's most likely a Minotaur, well that's kind of a cow]
"Sounds pretty close so that would be my primary choice for meat, but I'll eat just about anything"
"I see well then that make my job simple"
Having placed our order when the waitress returned the air around Raisa heightened once we were alone again.
"So like I said before Satou I've finished dealing with those 'goods' of yours"
Reaching into a tiny wallet at her side she strained a bit before hefting a large sack out, before dropping it on the table once it hit the entire thing shook, and the unmistakable clatter of coins rang out from within.
"Wha… Wha… Wha the heck is this!"
"What does it look like; it's a bag of Gold Coins"
"G.. Gold!"
"Yup to be precise it's 1242 small gold's, I can exchange them up for you if you'd like but with your skill that shouldn't be an issue"
"Hah!"
[That's a ton of money and she just went and dropped it on the table in the open, talk about tactless]
Reaching out with desperation I quickly absorbed the sack into my inventory.
"Was it really safe to just drop something like that out in the open and then declare its contents?"
"Yeah I mean we're alone here, and besides not like anyone here even knows who you are right, they probably would think you're a noble and if that's the case no way they'd mess with you"
"I see that makes sense I guess"
"So back to what I'd asked before what are you two doing in the town? You said work on the monsters was finished so were you just grabbing lunch?"
"Oh well actually we were going to also go out and get a large quantity of Cloth, and perhaps Silk if I can get my hands on it, along with a sewing kit. Then head to an alchemist shop to see if they've got a 'recipe book' or I guess you might call it a 'formula book' and then lastly checking in to see where one can sell potions"
"Well most of that is simple, but potions huh did you keep the ones you took from the bandits?"
"No I made my own"
"WHAT!"
'Clatter'
Raisa slammed her fists down on the table causing the metal cutlery to all shift and bump into one another, even Kurama jumped a little bit in his seat.
"Let me get this straight, you're an alchemist Satou?"
"Well I can't deny that now, but I would use a different term from my world, but yeah since we had collected a large amount of herbs from the forests I dabbled at creating potions and well the results were highly successful"
"That's amazing; do you know what kind of potions they are?"
"Yeah.. Their Minor Heals, and Minor Stamina, I'm still just a novice so that's the best I can do right now, especially with the herbs I've been able to find so far"
Figuring it's easier to just show them, I pulled one of each potion out of my inventory before placing them on the table.
'Gasp'
[Damn, that's not the reaction I was hoping for]
"SATOU! You must allow me to appraise these potions and sell them for you!"
"Uh yeah sure no worries"
Waving my hands in front of myself to brush off the clear aggressive nature of her words.
"Thank you for waiting please enjoy your meal"
[Saved by the bell]
The waitress returned and placed our plates on the table follow shortly by Raisa's chosen drink's.
[Hmm this is mino, well looks just like a steak with potatoes to me, but when in Rome]
Kurama and I didn't hesitate, both raising our hands and giving our quick grace before diving into the meal before us.
Raisa likewise joined in but with less gusto, having read the room and knew she'd get no further in the discussion so long as the two of us were still starving.
