Chapter 34 Troublesome People

"Want to maybe take a drop by the next village? I'm so hungry, they have a pretty good place to eat"

"Yeah uncle, I'd love to"

The village uncle mentioned was about 40 miles from my own village, we spent a half-day in this horse carriage and we're hungry now.

We travel pretty safely, nothing bad happens and we're glad because of it we are able to relax and enjoy the trip.

"What's your friend looks like uncle?"

I was curious and can't wait to meet Rosaku-san, my expectation of him is, he must be a very talented person, at least that's the only thing I can imagine about him, he's a magic researcher and he must be very talented in magic, I really really want to meet him.

"How if you ask, hmmm.... he's a kinda strange person, he sometimes makes a lot of ruckus in his workplace, one day I was about to go and greet him then after I come in the front door, it exploded"

Uncle Alto says it while he closes his face to mine, I just constantly back off a bit.

"Ahahaha.. He's very strange but he's a good person, he helped me numberless of time, I remember he was working as a royal magic researcher in the past, but he got kicked because of his weird behavior when he did a researching or other stuff that related to magic"

It sounds that this person was just someone weird but actually a good person, I can't imagine anything more of him.

"Well, but I guess he's a good person doesn't he uncle?"

"Yeah, you're right"

We both just keep having a little chat until we at the village that uncle Alto mentioned before.

"Alright, I'm gonna leave the carriage in that inn, I know the owner"

Then we leave the carriage in the local inn after uncle Alto went and talk with the owner.

"Let's go Erwin, it's my treat.."

Uncle Alto seems excited and drag me along with him to the local bar.

"Uncle I can't drink you know it right?"

"Don't worry about that, I won't ask you to drink, they have the best meat steak here, you just gonna eat that and some orange juice, hahahaha"

I can't resist but just keep being dragged along with uncle Alto to the shop.

"Welcome..."

There aren't many customers here, I look around and only 2 tables full, only 6 people right now in this store.

"A meat steak and orange juice for this kid, and maybe some beer for me and a steak and tomato soup"

"Alright, please wait"

Me and uncle Alto sit in the corner table, we're making distance with those groups of people who are here first.

"I didn't think you also wanted to meet Rosaku-san so badly Erwin"

Uncle Alto tries to start a conversation while drinking a glass of water the store owner gave us.

"The magic book you gave me in the past filled up with a lot of awesome magic spells, so I'm just thinking that he might be an awesome magician"

"And why you have a conclusion like that?"

Uncle Alto finishes his drink and puts down the glass on the table.

"He's a magic researcher, right? I'm just thinking that if he's researching magic he should know how the magic works himself"

Uncle Alto just listening to me and just nodding after hearing my explanation.

"Well maybe it's like that, I don't really know myself but I guess it's like what you just said"

"Here you go"

The store owner brought us our order and put it in on our table, then after that, he looks at me for a moment.

"Hey Alto, is this the kid you've been talking about before?"

I don't know what uncle Alto said about me to this person, but he doesn't look interested in me by the way he looks at me, more just "Ohh.." but without interest, at least that's what it's like in my eyes.

"Well enjoy your meal"

The store owner left and go back behind the storefront then he lights up a cigarette.

"He's always like that don't mind it, he actually interested to meet you"

is he able to read my mind or something? I didn't even say a single thing to uncle Alto, I just start eating the food and just nod and didn't ask anything, well if uncle said so then I guess he's not a bad guy, then, while we peacefully eating our food and having a little chat, someone kicked the store's door and starts yelling suddenly.

"THIS IS STUPID.. OI... GIVE ME BEER!"

A bunch group of people that looks like and adventurers barging in the store, they look so pissed, not sure why though, people in the store just looking at them then back to their meal again.

"Do you have any money?"

The store owner looks very calm even those guys just barging in and yell at him for food and drink.

"JUST GIVE ME A DAMN FOOD! DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM"

The guy that seems to be their leader keeps yelling at the store owner, those attitude of him is so annoying, he didn't even try to speak normally to people.

The guy then looks around and seems to see us, he then stands up and walks towards us.

"Yo Old man, you look like someone with a lot of money with you"

The guy slams on our table and just look at uncle Alto then stare at me.

"Yo kiddo, that's a fancy food you're eating there, did this uncle bought it for you?"

"Can you please leave? we're just trying to have a peaceful our mealtime here"
