Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Journey (4)

An important detail that I had overlooked is that her family are high-blood elves, also known as "High Elves."

My family are also High humans, but...

[Species: Human (????????)]

Looking at the screen, i come to the conclusion that it is due to my sealed species Shrugging, I don't think much about it now, glancing at the girl walking beside me, with black hair like mine, and with different clothing to avoid attracting unwanted attention.

For some reason, he told his guards to leave, although somewhat hesitant at first, they had to obey, and not disclose any information; I suppose she trusts me more. However, she wanted to stay with the carriage, which I denied with a shake of my head. It would attract too much attention; it's better to go without it.

Of course, I didn't forget about my horse. I'm currently leading it with a rope. The reason we're not riding is that we need a plan to hide our true identity.

"So, what if we pretend to be orphaned siblings?" I say with a smile. You know, the typical brother-sister story.

Our hair is the same color, but our eyes are not. It can't be perfect.

"Sounds good to me; it's better than saying we're father and daughter," she responds suspiciously.

"N-no hahaha." I couldn't help but laugh looking at her face. The truth is, I was just teasing her; I still remember the expression she made.

"STOP INTIMIDATING ME, YOU'RE VERY ANNOYING!"

Although she is very intelligent for her age, she still is a child. It's fun to tease her. nove(l)bi(n.)com

With a pouty face, she turns her head.

Giving her a little tap on the head, she lets out a small groan of pain. I can't help but hit her; of course, it wasn't hard, but...

"HOW CAN YOU FORGET THE BASICS!"

"I-I just didn't remember," she says, looking at me with teary eyes. Although she's intelligent, she's a bit clumsy sometimes.

"Alright, it's fine, don't worry. I have money with me, but clothes are a problem. Once we arrive, we'll buy you some clothes, okay?" I tell her.

Petting her head, she responds with a nod.

"So, do you know in which area that flower is?"

"Yes, according to the book, it says it's in a pond in zone 4."

Listening attentively, I was surprised to know that it's in the same place I want to go. Of course, I'll kill some monsters first and see what I can buy at the store; I need to be prepared.

"Our plan is as follows: once we arrive in the city, we need to pay the entrance fee. Once inside, we'll look for a place to stay; it'll be a room with 2 beds. Afther I'll buy you clothes, we'll eat something decent, and finally, we'll go to sleep. The next morning, both of us will register at the guild, understood?

"Agreed."

Nodding, I jump to get on the horse, extending my hand to lift her and place her behind me.

After making sure she's seated properly, I start to accelerate the horse's speed to reach the city. My safe destination is a tough one; my solo journey turned into a journey for two.

Smiling with excitement, I prepare for the path ahead that I chose.
