“Chiu~! Chiu~!”
The birdsong in the early morning woke up Hulim from her deep sleep.
She changed her clothes, washed up in the bathroom, and then opened the window.
In an instant, the golden morning sun rushed into the house, filling most of the room.
Hulim leaned against the window, looking at the street which was already crowded with people, and watched quietly for a while.
This is her first time in a big city.
Compared to the small town of Ment that can be seen at a glance, the city of Dupo is many times larger.
As the morning sun slanted down, the golden roofs stood in a row, like layers of ripples, spreading towards the distance until the details could no longer be seen.
In the center of the city, the majestic Seven Days Church stands tall. The melodious bell sounds in the early morning from the giant bell on top of the church continuously spread throughout the city.
"... Let's go have breakfast."
After rearranging her clothes, holding her wand in her hand and strapping her mithril sword to her back, Hulim walked out of the room.
Go down to the second floor.
The hotel's receptionist has already started working.
"Good morning, my guest. Did you sleep well last night?"
"I'm fine. Can you give me some breakfast, please? Do you have Popom porridge?"
"Oh, sorry, sir, we don't have that today, but we do have Popom Jelly. Would you like one?"
"That's it! And give me a cup of hot milk."
"Okay, please wait a moment~!"
Hulim nodded and sat down at a table in the hall.
The inn where Hulim is staying now is located in the central city. Most of the time, it is occupied by businessmen and tourists. The price is much higher than the inns in the lower city where most adventurers live. However, because of this, the facilities here are more complete, and the whole inn looks quite tidy. Even the tables and chairs here are of the same style!
The only drawback was that the chair was a bit too high for Hulim. When she sat on it, her legs were hanging free and couldn't touch the ground.
And because all the chairs are the same, there’s no way to even switch them.
It was such a mistake that I don't know what to say.
"Guest, please enjoy your breakfast!"
"Thanks!"
Hulim thanked him politely and waited until the clerk turned and left.
Pick up the knife and fork in front of you and divide the Popom Jelly into pieces. After cutting off a small piece, pick it up with a fork and put it in your mouth.
"Hmm~!"
Then a gleaming expression appeared on his face.
“It’s so delicious~!”
After finishing the Popom jelly in her mouth, Hulim picked up the hot milk in the large cup in front of her.
“Gu~!”
After taking a sip, Hulim put down the cup, stuck out his little tongue, and licked the "white beard" that had just grown around his mouth.
"What kind of milk is this?"
Hulim looked at the steaming white milk in front of her, her little face full of confusion.
"Mibolu? It doesn't look like that... Mokbul, it doesn't feel like that either..."
"Hmm...never mind. It tastes pretty good anyway."
“Gu~! Gu~!”
Hulim didn't think too much about it. She drank some unknown hot milk and cut some Popom jelly. As the food in front of her was visibly decreasing, other guests in the hotel gradually got up. Some asked for breakfast like Hulim, while others left the hotel directly.
The hotel, which had been somewhat deserted not long ago, suddenly became bustling.
After finishing breakfast, Hulim wiped her mouth, picked up the wand beside her, stood up, and walked towards the door of the inn.
"Guest, have you finished your meal? Is your breakfast to your liking?"
The door lady asked with a smile.
"I've finished eating it. It tastes just like what I like. But what exactly is that hot milk? I've never tasted it before."
"Oh, that one you're talking about~! That's salamander milk~!"
“???”
"Salamander, what is that?"
This was the first time Hulim had heard of this kind of milk.
"It's normal for customers not to know about it, because it's a kind of milk produced by the Lor's salamander. The Lor's salamander is relatively rare, so it's normal for customers not to have heard of it. Let's just consider it our specialty."
"I see... That's a great lesson. Thank you!"
"You're welcome~!"
After leaving the hotel, Hulim looked at the street in front of him and glanced left and right.
"Let's go to the city post station first and see if there's a convoy heading to the capital in a few days. Then we can explore the city..."
Just made a simple plan.
Hulim walked towards the post station in the lower town.
... ...
"Little sister, we're going to Langard's convoy. There's still space the day after tomorrow. Do you want to reserve it?"
The station staff in front of him answered while flipping through the itinerary.
Hulim thought about it and felt that Mr. Chandel would be able to collect the bounty for the thieves' gang by tomorrow. If he could get the money tomorrow, it would be just right to set off the day after tomorrow.
"I want to book, please reserve a seat for me."
"Okay, little sister, wait a moment."
The staff member took out a bill book, tore off a page and handed it to Hulim.
"It has the departure time and your number on it. Remember to check it. It's 20,000 Col. You can get a refund before tomorrow, but after tomorrow, you can't get a refund."
"I remember that."
Hulim nodded, took out two gold coins and handed them to the staff, then collected the receipt and left the post station.
There is still plenty of time during the day.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Hulim embarked on a sightseeing tour of Dupuytrimester.
Dupo is divided into three parts: the Lower Town, the Middle Town, and the Upper Town. Thanks to the Earl of Leicester's power in the empire, even in the Lower Town, the public security is very good, and it is rare to see poor and backward areas. In addition, there are various street snacks on almost every street.
