Volume 6 Chapter 292 - Library
\'Now that I\'ve already adjusted my body\'s microbiome, and I can already understand the most they are saying, I can move a lot freely… Where should I start, I wonder…\' Kisuke thought as he walks down through the street and peeking on the peeping lady from time to time, \'Hmm… I should go back to the library first and take a proper look at the books there.\'
Kisuke then went to the library again and this time, he intended to enter properly. When he reached the counter where he has to pay for entrance, Kisuke gave the proper amount and asked in his newly learned language, "Good morning. I came here to Orario without knowing much but can you perhaps give me some recommendation on what this city has to offer? I\'m sorry if my dialect is too heavy. I came from a nomadic tribe and this is my first time coming to a place this big."
The lady on the counter was a bit shock since this is the first time she encountered someone like Kisuke, but she immediately recovered and smiled, "Good morning. It\'s alright. Although I didn\'t catch everything you said, I understood that you want information about Orario as a newcomer, correct?"
"Yes. You\'re correct." Kisuke answered with a smile.
"Then you can take a look at the 2nd shelf in the 1st row from the right. From there, you can find various basic information about the city. If you\'re looking for work, then you can try going to the market place as help is always needed there." The lady instantly \'guessed\' Kisuke intention for coming to this city from his tribe, and that is to look for a living.
But since this city is known for its Dungeon, she has to warn him now in case he went for the most popular job without knowing anything about it, "However, the most popular job in Orario is an Adventurer. It\'s a very risky job that you may lose your life, but it\'s very profitable. If you\'re confident in fighting monsters, you can try that job. For you to qualify, you have to be in a Familia and be registered in the Guild… I\'m saying this again… It\'s a very dangerous job so only take it if you really can."
Kisuke chuckled at the kind lady, "Thank you very much for your reminder~. As thanks, please take this." He pulled out a small opaque bottle with a cork and passed it to the lady.
The lady curiously looked at the bottle and asked, "What\'s this?"
"A certain delicacy from my tribe~." Kisuke lied through his teeth and opened the bottle, revealing hard candies of various colors. He took one out and put it in the hand of the lady.
The naive and kind lady didn\'t think much about it and popped it into her mouth when she heard it\'s a delicacy. A second later, her eyes shined and she excitedly asked Kisuke, "What\'s this!? It\'s sweet and delicious~!"
"It\'s just a normal treat~. I\'ll probably open a shop that sells this and I\'ll be inviting you to our opening day~." Kisuke then passed the whole bottle to her, "I should get going. I don\'t want to hold the line further."
The lady grabbed the little bottle as if it is her little treasure and waved to Kisuke, "Please do invite me~!"
After waving back, Kisuke went to the spot where the lady pointed him to. Kisuke then reviewed each of the book\'s spine and it\'s indeed the information he needed. Grabbing several of these books, he started reading.
Closing time, around 5:30 in the afternoon, the library staff asked everyone to pack their things and leave. Taking books out is prohibited as the paper is not a very common commodity. When Kisuke reached the entrance, the lady who guided him earlier isn\'t there anymore and was replaced by a man in his thirties.
Now that he\'s done with the library, he intended to enjoy a meal and asked various people about the restaurant or pub they recommend. And after that simple survey, the most answer he got is the Hostess of Fertility where adventures gather at night.
Arriving at the place, Kisuke is surprised at how lively the pub is. Even compared to other stores, the ruckus inside is on a different level. Entering, Kisuke was immediately assaulted by the smell of various foods and beverages which are mostly alcohol. Since he\'s alone, he went straight to the bar counter. Seeing the one who\'s commanding the waitresses, Kisuke immediately thought, \'What a tough proprietress.\' The proprietress has brown eyes and long brown hair. She wears a different colored version of the uniform the waitresses are wearing.
Sitting down, he was immediately asked by her, "What do you want, kid?" As if looking down and pressuring him. However, Kisuke knew that isn\'t her intention as he can\'t feel any malice or hostility from her.
With a smiling face, Kisuke asked back, "What do you recommend?" But contrary to the face he\'s making, he\'s already scheming, \'A mysteriously strong proprietress, skilled waitresses, and a place where Adventurers gather… I wonder how can I make a connection to this place…\'
She, however, just replied, "Just choose from the menu. I\'m not going to rack my head for you."
"Ahahaha. Then I\'ll have this, this, and this." Kisuke laughed out loud at the proprietress\' attitude and pointed at random pasta, meat, and soup.
"How about your drink?"
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Kisuke\'s head, "Can I take out my drink instead?"
Since it isn\'t rare for others to bring a drink for them to enjoy, she allowed him, "Go ahead." Turning around, she passed Kisuke\'s order to the kitchen. And just a few minutes later, the proprietress delivered Kisuke\'s food.
But instead of eating it, he took out an opaque bottle covered with cork. The proprietress is already expecting that it\'s alcohol but when Kisuke opened the cork, she asked curiously, "What is that?" She asked because she couldn\'t smell the expected alcohol but instead a mysterious fruity smell that she never encountered before.
Kisuke smile became a grin and answered her, "Cola."
