'Boy, is everything all right?'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, sir. I had never heard of such a light tent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's the latest in lightweight, durable tents.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The latest? ...... used, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The guy I bought it from quit his job as an adventurer after he met a girl he liked. He put it up for sale right away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see. Here, please."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, sir. Yes, keep it marked, will you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is that a mark?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I put a mark where only I know where it goes. You can put a name, a symbol, anything.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mark."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Look at the tent you are buying.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Where would be the best place to put it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Do you want to go with ...... and put it here?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Um, please."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, you'll have to figure out the markings yourself."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I had the tent unfolded and was about to write Sora in the corner of the inside ceiling when I realized that I had written 'sky'.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Huh?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... is this my memory from before?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think it probably reads like sola.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Oh, a symbol? This makes it hard for the rest of us to figure it out."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't know what it is, but I think it's a word.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But I think they thought it was a symbol.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can't even explain ......, so I'll just call it a symbol.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I know it's going to be tough from now on, but hang in there."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ugh, my heart is prickling.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can't wait to find out what happened in Latomi Village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The gatekeeper and another man who were talking to someone at the entrance of the store come back to the back of the store.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Oh! Did you buy it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Yes, thank you very much. I bought a very nice item."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was surprised, but thanks to this man I was able to purchase a pretty nice tent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He's a good guy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hahaha, he said, "No, thanks."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hey, isn't it about time you took a look around?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, no. See you later, kid.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Bowing deeply, the two men raise their hands lightly and hurry out of the store.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He's in a hurry as usual, he is. ...... is five guidals, right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, sir.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I take out 5 guidals from my magic bag.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I give the money to my father and receive the tent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Dad pulls out a small bag from the back of the store.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll give you this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's small, but it's a legitimate magic bag. It's a degraded version, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The degraded version is easy to see what's inside when you take money in and out. It's not safe for them to know how much money you have."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I accept the magic bag, bow deeply, and leave the store.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

On the way back to the plaza, I remember the gatekeeper and my father, and my face smiles.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nice guys, and the other guy who was with them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He didn't complain and kept me company the whole time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In one of the stores on the main street, I saw something familiar.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was a specialty of Latomi village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was told that it was a fruit called zaro, which was popular in town because of its high nutritional value.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But when I saw the price, I was surprised.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was four times the price of the Xaro I knew.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Expensive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm? Zaro?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The shopkeeper seemed to pick up on my voice and called out to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I hurriedly looked at the person who approached me and saw that he seemed to be an elderly man.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In the back of the restaurant, there is also a person who looks like his wife.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She is a woman who looks like the wife of the owner. Is this zaro from the village of Latomi?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Ha ha ha, Zarrow only grows in that land. ...... are you by any chance from Latomi Village?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, sir.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Where are your parents?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... No, I travel alone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll try to answer honestly because I want information about Latomi Village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Alone! ...... certainly is pretty tough this year, though. Hah~ It's that stupid village chief's fault."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The chief?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I remember the man who told my father to kill me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Frankly, I want to forget him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'You came out of the village without knowing anything about it? Oh, no, no. Were you kicked out?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I've escaped from ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Running away...... is it really that bad in that village?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The older man sighs heavily and shakes his head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'There was a Mr. Luba, the fortune teller, wasn't there?'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'...... yes'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She has been the protector of Xaro in the village of Latomi." This fruit is very difficult to harvest at the right time. If the timing is even slightly off, the fruit is no longer a commodity. So we asked her to tell our fortunes, and we made the most of it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The village chief didn't like that!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Suddenly more voices startle me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I looked toward the voice and saw someone who looked like his wife, who was in the back, coming toward me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The village of Latomi would not be able to sustain itself without Xaro's source of income. It is only natural that many villagers support Luba, who protects their source of income. That is what that idiot mayor didn't like. When Luba was sick, he didn't give him medicine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He lied to the villagers around him, saying that he had given them the medicine. Only the chief's henchmen knew about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Luba knew what Xaro was to the village. If something happened to him, he would always contact the other fortune tellers. That's what I found out when the villagers questioned the village chief's hunchback, saying that there was nothing to it and that this was not right. And they tried to blame it on the children at first. Totally, the previous village chief was fine, but not this one. They say the village is in rough shape now."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I've heard stories that the chief guy has driven villagers out of the village who challenge him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I heard they even kicked out kids who didn't have parents. ...... You said you ran away."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, sir.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Why?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... because my parents were better than the village head ...... and, you know, there was a problem ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sorry your parents had a ...... hard time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What? No, no.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It seems that ...... that village chief had more problems than I thought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The parents who followed him are ...... well, they are strangers now.
