"So once again thank you for your assistance earlier." Both of girls start thanking me again in the carriage.
"Don't worry about that,I just do what I want. My name is Farisu.Just Farisu.Nice to meet you too. "Farisu said leisurely to Emily and Maki.
Both girl start to less their guard around him too. For someone that they just met, it a must to stay cautious but when they see Farisu carefree attitude they decide to low their guard to him.
"So why are you there alone earlier?" Maki ask Farisu with bewildered look .In this world travelling from place to place is not rare apparently but to do it alone is not something you could see everyday.
"I just a traveller. I want to go to the town but unfortunately I got attack by several beast on my way.I managed to beat them but as result I got lost and even my belonging was mostly lost too. "
Farisu explain to them with a poker face. Of course it is half lies but he can't really say that he came from other world. He don't know if they will believe him or not if he said that but there are also possibility for troublesome thing to happen like he treat. Farisu craved for someone strong but he not someone that like to cause trouble too. Troublesome is troublesome after all. It's true that he lost all his belongings except what on him when he come to this world though.
"Eh? you got attack by beast!? And you managed to survive too!? " Emily asked with shock clearly on her face.
'Why did they so shocked. I thought fighting beast is a common here. Those beast just weaklings too. '
"Yes. Even though some of them just ran away later. "Farisu answer slowly while scratching his cheek.
"You really amaze me.To think you could even defeat beast.Your skill must be real deal. "
Maki said with astonishment and continue
"Eventhough beast are hunt regularly because their parts could gain high price but even veteran need to form a party to hunt them but to do it solo is amazing you know." 'So they hunt in group? Did they just want to increase efficiency even with weaklings?'
"I just got lucky. You said I can sold them. Can you tell me where I can do it. I really need to make some money for now. " Faris replied with a smile.
"Don't worry. We owe you our life after all. "
"Umu that right! "
Maki place her hand in front of her chest while Emily smile gently and reply to Farisu.
"For now can you tell me about situation around here. Even though I said I lost, its already been a few week since I wandering in the forest. So I don't really know the situation around here." Farisu try to extract information from the girls with casual talk. He mix up some lies to make it believable. From his observations from around here there are no other town nearby so to lost for a few weeks is actually plausible explanation.
Both of seem surprised when they hear that but turn serious a moment later. 'why are they suddenly change. Did I said something wrong.'
Emily open her mouth and said something unexpected. "You just arrived in this world right?" Farisu totally caught off guard from such direct question that his poker face crumble a little because he doesn't think he give any hint to be seen true but even that little change doesn't failed to be detected by both girls.
"So its true." Emily mutter such under her breath. Both of them seem convinced of their speculation.
"You doesn't need to be too on guard on us. We definitely will not bring harm to our savior just because of this. We just want to warn you to be belligerent to surrounding." Maki tell Farisu that they don't want to bring problem to him. He had been seen through but it not like he really care about about it since no lost for him in any way. These two don't give bad guy feeling too. Even if problem occur he will manage it. For someone like Farisu that already aware of dark side of his previous world, even if they hang an innocent mask on their face he still could detect their bad intention. This is one of benefits he gain through experience.
'As expect, this two not your average girls.' That's what his premonition been telling him all this time.
"Well you two basically right. I from another world that just arrived here. I know you two not just normal girls but to be seen through this early...you make me lost confidence you know. How did you even seen through me though. I don't think I gave any obvious hint." Farisu said so while smiling wryly to them.
"Haha don't worry about your confidence. It just we are a bit of special case you could say. Let's me introduce properly from beginning. I am Emily Brunight. Third daughter of household Duke Brunight and this is my best friend and guard." Emily reintroduced herself and urging Maki to do the same.
"Second daughter of Kurobane house of ducty, Kurobane Maki. We are nobles and our information gathering on another worlder are not scarce too. For your information, another worlder is not something unsual at all here. Both of us had a prior knowledge of this and that's why we already guess it from the beginning."
"It that's so. Care to explain. Even if you said you two are special case, I still doesn't really understand how you already guess it."
Farisu already caught on most of the story but he still want to know the detail here. "Just think of this as service for before. We also don't want our saviour to meet troublesome situation as soon as he come here. There are some people that trick another worlder to their benefits because of their lack of information. Just ask any question. For how we know it is because your appearance and also our conversation." Emily said with mischievous smile as children that succeed in her prank. 'This girl surprisingly have many expression changing. I thought of her as cool beauty before but is that just because of her appearance? Come to think of it isn't Maki the cool beauty one here actually?' "My appearance and conversation huh..Ah! That's why..."
"Eh! You already get it!? Even though I try to look cool here...mumumu." Emily said so while pouting a little. 'Umu she's cute.' Farisu feel amused from this girl reaction that he unconsciously smiling. "Yeah..My cloth totally out of place here and from the way I talk right. I not noticed it before but you two don't actually talk in the same language as I am. I just hearing it in the language that I can understand and you two hearing it in language you can understand but our lip movements totally different. Huh...I let my guard down because I think Its normal to talk on same language." Farisu let out a sigh because of his stupid mistake. He thought this is simple thing because of magic existence here but didn't expect his artificial knowledge of another world from literacy content of previous world to come bite back to him. 'Better not to expect anything from people imagination huh..' Farisu thought so.
"There also things like you wandering for a few weeks too. Even though this area is forest without inhabitants, adventurers usually come in often, so it totally weird if you not meet anyone else that will help you during that time." Maki explain calmly to Farisu.
"Oh so this place a hunting ground. I thought there no one that come here because only beasts come to me when I make such ruckus before."
"Ah That's must be monster. There's alot of them around here that normal animal are rarely seen. By the way how many attack you actually?" Emily
"Around 150 or something. Some got away so maybe more. What difference are monster from normal animal?" Farisu
"What the hell did you do to bring that many monster to you!? Well glad you survive. Anyone else maybe already become mincemeat by now. So the difference of monster and animal? There a lot but most obvious thing is definitely the core. Only monster had core in them. Beside monster no living thing had cor in them. Even if you try to artificially create them, you can't. No one succeed even after countless attempts after all." Emily
"You don't meet anyone because of that I think. Maybe they thought some strong monster appears and just ran away. Even adventurer still human after all. They will prioritize their lives over anything else." Maki state that as something obvious even when her face distort a little in disgust.
'She had same bad history huh..' Farisu totally seen through this but he not tactless enough to just ask her. He just ignore for now.
After that they discuss lot of other things until carriage draw close to the town gate. Even though his lies was seen through but Farisu gain much more important thing during this exchange. Information. This is one of most basic thing during preparation after all. For him to get use fast in this world this is obviously important subject and for him to get them this easily totally worth it. Farisu start to simplified all the info he gain from girls in his head. "Basically, this world still in midieval era with nobles and knight. Most profition here is tied to kingdom beside merchant and adventurers. You also can gain noble title if you have achievement to the country. This world is much more dangerous because of existence of magic and monsters. No one know why and how these monster began to appear but what is confirm is this monster is different from normal animal. Some of them even have intelligence that rival human that make them to recognised as other race. Human doesn't differentiate by race here but there are other race as elf, dwarves and other that usually appear in fantasy story. Other worlder also normal here but not many usually appear and survive because of harsh condition of living here. No discrimination is issue towards them but the difference in environment make it difficult to make a living. There also some catchy phrase like central world in their explaination base on book before. That's totally pick my curious. Whatever it means must be important if every historical books mention it. There are many mystery in this world that not even word maps had been drawn because no one had succeed to travel around the world before. No one fully know how big this world or whatever contain in it.First of all, even question like this world is sphere like earth or not is had no answer.' Farisu close his eye and set his target to make a living first before his ambition. 'It a waste to not just enjoy this world!'
After three hours of shaking still in the carriage, they arrive at the next town, Riftmiz.
They stop in front of the huge gate that look like a trepass checkpoint before guards at serve asked a few questions and let we pass. 'He ask for ID. Those two said to let them handle it. Lucky for me.' ID is like identity card in previous world. They take information from profile base on system into a card to form ID. There are personal information like name, s*x, age and profesion written on it. There are also crimes and achievements column too for safety purpose. This ID just have basic information written on it but profile totally different. It have complete data on individual on it like one usually seen in video games. 'Whoever make this surely game addict. Even those title sound chuuni.' Farisu tsukkomi in his mind while looking his status that he just know of it during conversation with Emily and Maki.

They then continue into the town.The atmosphere here is like in the medieval period on Earth with stone paved road and shops of variety business along it. Children are playing with each other happily at the roadside. This town give impression of very nice town even in commoner area. He glad to meet horrible sight of oppression or something cliche like in novel he read before. Farisu could see people walking around with varieties of weapon on their side. Maybe it is given for one to bring weapon with them in everyday life. 'Not like I need weapon to begin with' Farisu talk to himself when the carriage stop in front of store that look like a merchants store.
"Let's gat your clothes first before we continue." Emily said so while urging Farisu to get down from carriage. "Eh? I appreciate for the cloth but you can just tell me where I can sell material though. I can just go there myself. I don't want to trouble you two too much."
"This much trouble is nothing at all but you need to follow us first after this. We want your help for little something. Pretty please..."
Maki said so and suddenly make a plead eye to Farisu. ' Wait this girl can make this expression. Did the cool beauty in the carriage just acting?' "Also sorry for serious look during journey just now. I still probing your character at that time. I decide you not a problem at all." Maki make a beautiful smile and give Farisu a thumb up. 'Did this two girl actually more tomboyish than I think. Come to think of it, those two leftover bandits from before actually lost to these two.' "Fufu did you think Maki actually cool beauty type? Unfortunately she just as she is. Maki is Maki after all." Emily put her hand in front of her mouth while faking laught. "What you mean by that! I am as gracious as woman can be." Maki scold Emily while embarrassed a bit. "Oo all gracious lady must had swinging their blade from 5 years old then." Emily continue to poke fun at Maki without care. "Youu..."
"Haha..I don't mind if you need any help. I also want to get your help to in the near future." Farisu laugh wryly while giving his confirmation. "You sure! Thanks! We will help you if it something we can do. " "Yosh! just go pick your outfit now. We paying for you." Maki express her thanks and Emily continue to push Farisu into the store in high spirit.
"Alright..alright. Stop pushing me could you? You paying? Can't I just get the store then." "Don't get cocky! That's too much!"
"Haha I just joking. Don't be mad."
Farisu then enter the store while got accepted by male receptionist while Emily and Maki walking straight to the counter. "What could we get you today, dear sir?" "Can you get me a few casual wear and underpants. Also did you have clothes that fit for adventurers?"
"We always hold stock for what sir looking for. Please follow me. Do you want to make adjustments to the clothes?"
"Yes, please." Farisu the continue to trying and adjusting clothes until he settle with three set of casual clothes that normally seen in medieval era movie and two set of adventurers clothes with gloves and boots that specially made to stand rough treatment and easy to move in. Farisu make sure everything is paid and store everything he not wearing into his inventory after making sure no one looking.
"Oo you just need armour and weapon to completely look like adventurer now. Quite suit you if I might say." Maki compliment Farisu that look more blend in to the surrounding now than his previous school uniform. "Thanks for compliment but I don't think I need any of others for now." "Hmm is that so." "Yes. for starter why do I need to use something that can be broke with my bare hand." "W well.. you have a point there." "Right."
"Oii are yo done? Let's go already if everything settle." Emily which already inside carriage call for both of them when they exit the door of store. Farisu and Maki also enter the carriage a few moments later.
"So what help do you need me for?" Farisu ask to Emily after carriage began to move.
"For now let's go to my house first." Emily said so while smiling towards Farisu.
"Huh?"
