The monster these past days is very active. Knights and adventurers are doing their best to exterminate the monster near the city area. Because of that the railways going to other city was also damaged.
It's not something we have control over so overthinking about it was useless.
For now, we should look for something to do. It is nearly afternoon, and all of us are currently seating at a table on Kaoru’s sweets shop. They are quite busy. Koyume and Belle are serving the customers and Kaoru is busy baking.
Turning my glance on Taki. I noticed the pile of papers beside her.
“What's with those papers Taki?”
“This? This is from master Karyll. I told her that we can’t go yet to Central city because of the train maintenance. I asked her to give us some recommendation to get some quest.”
“What happened?”
