Chapter 22 The First Day of Missing Cora ~
I spent the whole afternoon exploring, but I still couldn't see the inner city walls.
As darkness fell, the streets became increasingly deserted.
I asked a shop owner and learned that the hotel was on another street. After finding out the location, I decided to find a hotel to rest for the night.
As they entered an alley, before they had gone far, three men holding short knives appeared at the alley entrance, their faces mocking.
Footsteps sounded behind me. I turned around and saw a thin man blocking the entrance.
Diana was excited and eager to try.
'They've finally arrived! The standard fare in another world: highway robbery~'
The man in the middle, the one wearing an eye patch and who seemed to be the leader, said with a strange laugh:
"Old man, if you know what's good for you, hand over your valuables and this girl, and maybe I'll spare your life..."
Before the man could finish speaking, Gene waved his hand, and the group vanished from their spot in a flash of light.
Diana was bewildered. 'How could they just be gone? It ended before it even started?'
"Grandpa Gene, where are those people?"
Gene calmly took her hand and continued walking forward.
"They went where they were supposed to go, Anna. From now on, if you encounter trouble, either don't act at all, or act decisively and cleanly. Otherwise, you'll face endless trouble. Understand?"
Diana nodded, seemingly understanding.
Screams echoed from a distant forest above the capital, followed by the thud of several heavy objects hitting the ground, and then silence returned.
After passing through several alleys, we came to a fairly wide road, and not far ahead we saw a shop with a sign that read "(Hotel)" hanging on the door.
As I pushed open the door to the hotel, a cacophony of voices mixed with the smell of alcohol wafted over, accompanied by the crisp ringing of the bell on the door.
The sounds inside the hotel paused, and everyone turned to look in their direction. Upon discovering that it was a grandfather and grandson, they returned to their drinks.
Diana looked around with great curiosity, and Gene led her to the counter.
A robust middle-aged woman was wiping wine glasses and sized up the grandfather and grandson who had come over.
"Welcome! Are you here for lodging or meals? A double room costs 5 copper coins per day, and food consists of bread and curry soup dumplings. It costs 2 copper coins per person to eat your fill. Children are the same price!"
Gene took out a silver coin and placed it on the counter.
"For a double room, bring more food at this price."
The proprietress's eyes lit up, she took the silver coin, glanced at it, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, our food is famously delicious. Please find a seat and our food will be served shortly."
After saying that, he called out to the back, and a thin boy ran out. The boy had long black hair that covered half of his face. After giving some instructions, the boy ran back.
Finding an empty seat in a corner, Diana sat down and said with some eagerness:
"Grandpa Gene, may I have some wine? I'd like to try it out!"
Before Gene could speak, a bald man at the next table shouted in a loud voice:
"Young lady, have you thought this through? If you drink, you'll end up like the landlady!"
After saying that, he gestured towards the counter with his chin.
The bald man had a loud voice, and everyone in the hall could hear him.
The proprietress slammed her cup down on the table and angrily said:
"Wallett, you're doubling your drink bill tonight!"
The bald man quickly begged for forgiveness and admitted his mistake, amidst a chorus of sighs and laughter from those around him.
At this moment, the boy came out of the kitchen, carrying a tray with a lot of food on it, as well as a few pieces of black bread.
Diana couldn't wait to try it. When the food was placed on the table, she picked up a piece of bread and took a bite.
Hmm~ The bread is a bit hard and slightly bitter. It's not as good as the bread Cora makes. My first day missing Cora~
Although he was complaining in his heart, he never stopped talking about it.
A little while later, the boy brought over more food. Looking at the several empty plates on the table, and the white-haired girl's bulging lips still stuffing food into her mouth...
He was so stunned that he forgot to put food on the table.
The bald man at the next table chuckled slyly:
"Oh ho ho~ Our little Ivan wouldn't have taken a fancy to that girl, would he? She eats so much, you can't afford to feed her, hahaha~"
Diana turned to look at the boy carrying the food and mumbled indistinctly:
"Thank you so much..."
The boy's face turned bright red instantly, and it seemed as if white smoke was rising from his head. He quickly put the food on the table and ran to the kitchen in a flash.
The people nearby who witnessed this started to cheer, and some even whistled.
Ivan brought food several more times. From initial shock to numbness, he had lost count of how much the girl had eaten.
The various conversations around them gradually subsided, and everyone stared in shock at the tall stack of plates next to the girl.
One of the people next to her jokingly said to the proprietress:
"Hey boss lady, you've finally got your comeuppance today!"
The proprietress's eye twitched, but she remained silent.
Hearing the voices around her, Diana paused, turned her head to look around, and found everyone staring at her. Her face flushed, she wiped her mouth, and said somewhat shyly:
"Grandpa Gene, I...I'm full!"
Hahaha~ Laughter erupted from all around.
Someone nearby teased, "Young lady, don't worry about letting the boss lose money. She's made a lot of money off us! Hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, the proprietress threw the cup she was holding at the man.
Gene was both amused and exasperated; the child had been eating all afternoon and was still consuming so much!
After bringing Diana to the front desk, the landlady instructed Ivan to take the two to a room on the second floor.
Before leaving, Gene placed another silver coin on the table, and the proprietress immediately greeted him with a smile.
Ivan led them upstairs to the room door.
This is your room.
After saying that, he ran downstairs as if he were fleeing.
Diana pushed open the door and looked at the shabby room with some disappointment. It couldn't even be described as shabby; there were only two wooden beds and a bedside table inside.
Lying on the hard bed, Diana sighed, 'What a fulfilling day!'
I drifted off to sleep, looking forward to tomorrow.
Gene went over and covered her with a blanket, shaking his head helplessly. He was really worried about leaving her alone in the capital!
