Volume 2 - CH 24

The Dawn of Battle

After finishing our breakfast, we left the inn and headed out to the market. Natalie and Al were tasked with buying the household items, while Char and I went to buy food.

Char, walking beside me, looked to be in a good mood despite having to be in constant worry of our pursuers.

We walked through the market and bought a large amount of food items that even the stall owner was impressed by the quantity and questioned, 「Are you sure you want all of these? 」. When I explained to him that I was a Dimensional Storage holder, he understood and sold the large purchase to us. Dimensional Storage is a rare skill, but not unheard of as Natalie had explained to me before, so it was a relief when the stall owner understood me.

I went into an uncrowded area, and put away the purchases into Dimensional Storage.

「You have a lot of storage space huh? 」

「Not really, it’s already full 」

I fooled the stall owner with my words and we went ahead to other stalls to buy more ingredients.

「This is my first time walking in the streets like this 」

「Oh, yeah? 」

It’s imaginable that being in the position of an imperial princess, she would be unable to walk the streets so casually.

「…… But I’m sure that the citizens of the Empire were— 」

Char’s expression darkened.

「We’ll save them…… 」

Char nodded and smiled at me.

「You’re late! 」

That was our welcome greeting when we arrived at the meeting place.

「That’s right. Natalie-sama’s Dimensional Storage got full and I had to carry such a heavy load by myself「

Natalie started and Al followed suit on the complaining.

Next to them was a small pile of items that they had shopped for. Char and I both chuckled at the sheer volume. Although it might be a small load from my perspective, this is still a lot for an ordinary person to carry, Al’s improved status because of her high level must be the reason she could carry it all.

If we had met up in a public place, this large purchase would have attracted attention as they carried it, I thought, as I put the load in my Dimensional Storage.
