CHAPTER 6 – THE FIRST TOWN – PART 1

We were able to safely pa.s.s through the Gaya Forest!

We have encountered many monsters, but I honestly pleaded to Allen and Elena to let me defeat them, and I brought them down with magic.

I’m glad the children are so understanding! Thanks to that, my level has raised to 11!

Even so, the forest is bigger than I thought. It took three full days to get out of the forest. Although I’m saying that, our pace was slow and we picked up fruits and herbs on the way.

We got out of the forest’s eastern side on the fourth day. I don’t know how long it would take to get out of the depths of the forest, but it was quite the distance to get out from the edge of the forest. It takes probably more than a month.

Ah! By the way, unlike Earth where the week has 7 days, Aetherdia’s week is 6 days long.

In order――

Day of the Light, Day of the Fire, Day of the Water, Day of the Wind, Day of the Earth, Day of the Darkness

――They are called like that.

24 hours makes a day, 6 days makes a week, and 5 weeks makes a month.

30 days is a month and 12 months is a year. Therefore, one year consists 360 days.

The months are called without a change, First Month, Second Month, Third Month……

First~Third months are Spring

Fourth~Sixth months are Summer

Seventh~Ninth months are Fall

Tenth~Twelfth months are Winter

They are not much different from j.a.pan’s seasons. East of the continent is warmer, west is colder.

The eastern territories are the hottest in Summer, west territories are the coldest in the Winter.

By the way, it is the Third Month now. Gadia’s weather is very nice.

An empty gra.s.sland spreads before us after leaving the forest. There was something that could be considered a road so we walked for around 4 hours along it before seeing a town.

When we arrive at the gates of the town Shirin, soldiers… no, they are knights. Three knights are on the watch.

The town of Shirin is endorsed as a Rank A impregnable town at the edge of『Gaya Forest』.

N? That’s right. We are in a very dangerous place.

The superior monsters are near the heart of the forest, so the monsters we have encountered were all relatively weak.

But, it’s not known when a strong monster will come out of the forest. There’s a branch of the Knights precisely because the town of Shirin is in such a place.

These knights are guarding the west gate we came to. One of the knight is waiting for us.

「You! Did you come from the Gaya Forest?」

「Yes. That’s right」

The knight makes a surprised expression at my obedient answer.

Maa~ it’s a dangerous place. I myself don’t look any strong and even if I was, it’s not a place one would normally take children with him.

「There were medicinal herbs I needed. We didn’t go too deep and these children are strong enough to defend themselves」

As expected, I can’t say that I was transferred to the forest by a G.o.d and it’s better to answer honestly instead of making poor excuses.

Actually, we didn’t go to the heart of the forest and we gathered herbs. It’s also the truth that the children are strong.

「Did you get the herbs you needed?」

「Yes. Fortunately, I was able to obtain them in a nearby place」

「I see. Don’t be too reckless. Then, you are entering the town, right?」

「Thank you very much for the advice. Of course, I would like to enter the town, but this is a gate one can enter and exit freely, right?」

The gates are normally open during the daytime, but this gate is closed for some reason.

But, I check just in case.

「This is a gate that only a few people come in and out, after all」

Ah, I see. It’s such a thing.

The knight answers after looking at the gate and realizing that we are locked out.

This place is directly facing the Gaya Forest so only authorized knights and high ranked adventurers are utilizing it. Ordinary people rarely approach the gate so there’s no reason to keep the gate open when there’s no traffic.

「Hand me the identification papers」

「I’m sorry. We come from a rural village so we don’t have identification papers yet」

「Come this way if that’s the case. We have to do the inspection and other procedures」

「Yes. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I will be troubling you」

「Don’t worry about it, that’s our job!」

CHAPTER 6 – THE FIRST TOWN – PART 2

「First, please put your hand on this crystal」

We were taken to a small office-like room and a crystal was presented in front of me.

I put my hand on it as I was told to. When I do so, the crystal emits a faint white light.
