After I left the store, I went back to Flora's room talking to Flora. When I got back to my room, I was taught about the geography around this city.

The East Gate has a vast forest, and if you go straight down the East Gate road, there's a big river, and there's a settlement around it. On the other side of the river, they say, is the territory of the neighboring Kingdom of Palladia. For this reason, this country is called the Kingdom of Roland.

When I asked Flora the name of this country, she said, "Huh?" He looked at me. Well, some people didn't tell me, so I can't help it. In the first place, you don't have to be surprised because you don't know many things...

Well, that's a story, I hear it takes more than two weeks to get a carriage from this city to that river, set aside. When I asked him if it was that far away, he said that the mountain seemed to be rugged and the road was twisting. It really took a while. For once, he asked about the neighboring country's relationship, but even Flora couldn't tell. I mean, isn't that what you ask a 10-year-old...

Then the West Gate, as I've seen before, feels that there are plains stretching around and the surroundings are mostly surrounded by woods. If you take that road southwest, they'll reach a city called Berg in the neighboring town. They'll cross the mountain on the road but take the shortest carriage for three days, or even five days late to get to the next town. And if you go further south from that berg, they'll reach the king's capital, Anesis. From Berg to Wangdu, it seems to take around a week by carriage. He taught me a lot of other cities.

For now, I think I know how far to Wang Capital, but when I asked him why he was converting carriages, he said not many people would walk away. Even if he was, basically, he said he was about an adventurer. Anything, because you might encounter demons on the road. Basically, it seems common to go in a riding carriage. They also hire escorts, so it seems safer.

He taught me a lot like this. Anything else, let's talk about it.

That's how it was around evening when Flora was teaching me a lot.

"... Is this what it looks like to talk roughly?

I'm glad Flora taught me a lot, but listening to people like this is exhausting. I thought. Are you going to be so tired because you've never listened to people for so long? Well, that's, come on......

"Thank you, Flora. You've taught me a lot."

"Fine. Well, I'll tell you what I know."

and I've said that while dyeing my cheeks red.

"(cute)"

Flora looked at me and tilted her neck when she thought of that. Could it have been what I just thought I was saying in my mouth?

"Well, I'll come back when I can tell you something."

"Ugh, yeah. Um, can I come and see you?

And I've been asking him how this one is. I smiled a little when I saw how it was going. At the same time, is this possibly the beginning of a friend? I thought that I don't know how I'm going to go out with her, but maybe I can make it work with her.

"Hehe, I get it. We'll be back, won't we?

With that said, Flora nodded happily.

"Yeah!"

So after Flora and I broke up, I thought I'd call Mr. Lorna as well, but the customer came and seemed busy, so I decided to go home softly.

On the way home, I was thinking about how to get along with Flora, but I didn't remember saying anything about this in the past when I created a relationship that seemed like a friend. I didn't know how to hang out with myself because it was a relationship that I was invited to play with because I said one way or the other. But when I saw how she was, I thought maybe I didn't have to worry about that. Because somehow I thought about it but I felt like I was thinking the same thing...

I went back to the inn thinking about it.
