The Moonlight Swordsman

The guards stopped the group of four as they approached the town's gate.

"How did your hunt go, Lucas?" One of the guards queried Lucas, as his gaze was fixed on Aizel.

Before Lucas could respond, Harry burst out laughing. "Hehehe, we were able to kill the thunder wolves."

"That's good; it appears that you've got some luck today, and who the hell is he, is he a new guy?" Another guard entered the fray.

"He's coming to tour the town, but he also knows someone here and needs to deliver a message." Aizel stood expressionless while Alisha spoke.

"That's fine; just make sure you teach him about the town's rules." The guard spoke while allowing them to enter town.

The squad entered the town with a nod. Aizel noticed that the town's buildings resembled those he had seen in anime and novels. Tiny two-story buildings with a few little houses scattered about.

There were numerous marketplaces nearby, and all were busy.

Aizel took pleasure in seeing everything around him. He noticed that there were numerous shops offering weapons, potions, and various fruits and herbs.

"Alisha inform him about the rules while me and Harry will be at the hunter's guild. See you afterwards." Lucas spoke while heading towards the hunter guild.

Alisha nodded, while Harry looked dissatisfied but continued to accompany Lucas.

Alisha approached Aizel and extended her hand for a handshake. "You already know who I am, but let me introduce myself properly: my name is Alisha."

Aizel gazed at the hand for a second, clearly not wanting to be touched by someone else, but he has resolved that in this new world, he will change his weak mentality.

While Alisha spoke, Aizel shook her hand and said, "The big guy was Lucas, and the blonde guy was Harry."

Aizel simply nodded; Alisha didn't mind and began reciting the town rules as they wandered the streets.

There were rules like no murder or fights inside the town, no stealing in the shops, and so on. Yet there was one additional rule: always act politely in front of the nobles and never dare to insult them.

"Well, that was to be expected; not only are they shitty in the novel and anime, but they are also shitty in real life." Once Alisha finished telling him everything, Aizel thought.

"You're visiting for the first time, correct? Because you don't have anywhere to stay, let me take you to a reasonable and decent inn." Alisha spoke, and Aizel agreed with a nod.

As they walked, Aizel was having a mental discussion with himself.

"Should I ask her to help me find Henry's daughter? I mean, they own me that much, but I also don't want to put Henry's daughter in danger; heck, I don't even know her name."

Alisha noticed Alizel was buried in thought and asked, "Do you want to ask something?"

"Umm, the thing is, I have come here to find the old man's daughter who taught me how to use mana." Aizel said.

"Yet I have no idea what her name is or how she looks; all I know is that she is blind and has a child." Aizel spoke again in embarrassment.

"Hmmm... well, with such little information, it will be difficult to find her in town, but I will do my best to help you, so don't worry." Alisha responded with a sincere smile, promising him that she would truly assist him in finding her.

"I appreciate it." Aizel responded with a slight smile on his face.

"Oh, here we are," Alisha stated as Aizel stared up at the four-story structure that appeared to be enormous. The inn's name was Traveler's Paradise.

As they entered, Aizel noted the reception desk in the center and a little bar and restaurant on the right, where people were drinking, eating, and having a good time.

"Okay, you rent a room for the rest, and if you want to sell the corpses, I can help you." Alisha spoke in hushed tones while Aizel nodded.

"Then I'll see you in the morning." Alisha waved farewell and exited the inn, leaving Aizel to proceed towards the reception.

Aizel saw an elderly woman reading a book as he approached the counter.

"Uhh, hello, I want a room for one." Aizel spoke as the old lady stared at him.

"2 Copper coins for a night." The old lady spoke as Aizel retrieved the coin from his ring and handed it to her.

"Room 3 on the 3rd floor," the lady said as Aizel nodded and headed towards the stairs on the left side of the counter.

"Let's see, I have about 100 gold coins, 78 silver coins, and 57 copper coins in the storage ring. I believe that this is sufficient for me, and by selling the wolves' corpses tomorrow, I will be able to make extra money." Aizel thought to himself while heading towards his room.

He went up to his room and opened the door. A small bed, a desk with a window on the side, and a bathroom were seen.

Aizel approached the bed and lay down, thinking about how he had returned to this world.

"Maybe I can travel while sleeping or something. That's the only thing I can think about now." Aizel pondered whether he might return to his world in the same manner.

"What should I do next? It's still evening; should I go sightseeing?" When glancing out the window, Aizel reflected.
