Hello, good morning.

The first morning in a new city, Vinfitt, I was a bit bewildered when I woke up to an unfamiliar ceiling. Almost blurted that famous line out loud.

I went to the kitchen and noticed other guests having their meals there. Sure is lively when so many people are around.

I felt the glances again when I was eating the breakfast I cooked myself. What? Whatchu want? Are you that bothered about this old man having a meal together with a young girl... Wonder how does other people see me as. Someone suspicious or a leech maybe... Neither is good.

After a short aftermeal break, we went out to have a stroll around the street.

There's people all over, it's already bustling this early in the morning. As expected of a city the size of the capital.

Daijel isn't at all small yet it just can't compare to this city. Though the lack of hustle bustle there is nice too.

As befitting of a commercial city, the arrays of products being sold in the stores here are extremely varied.

I even found curry powder in a spice store. Maybe one of the past heroes concocted the recipe.

I was gonna buy it but it cost 10000 en per 200 gram... It's way out my budget currently. I'm gonna buy it once I can afford to. Definitely, someday.

Instead, I bought coffee beans and cacao beans... Costing about 10% of curry's price. Feel like my sense of money is getting paralyzed.

Can't believe I'd be able to make chocolate and coffee. Wonder if Alma would like it.

At the marketplace, I saw people selling fresh fish, a rare commodity in Daijel.

Apparently there's a port town nearby so the market here can source relatively fresh fish easily. Ooh, there's even a fish tank.

I could only find dried or cooked ones in Daijel, it's nice to have a larger repertoire. I'm going with fish dish tonight after quite a while.

The stalls over there are selling poultry-like skewer, snacks and fruits I've never seen before.

I resisted the temptation to have a try since I just had a breakfast.

...Feels like I've been focusing on nothing but food. Guess my core is that of a glutton.
