Privations

Kat took off from the guild. She was looking around even though she was walking towards the shop. She enjoyed the bustle of the streets. The children were running around. To her surprise, there weren't any accidents. She doesn't understand why New York driving at the same pace, gets into accidents but not here with carriages.
Kat arrived at Martha's textile shop. She walked in and could see different clothing. At the counter, A beautiful angel was sitting. She had black hair and eyes—perfect hourglass figure with a C or D cup breast and flawless white skin.
"Hello. My name is Kat. Rory from the adventure guild told me that I could get assistance here if I presented my guild card." (Kat)
"Could I see your guild card?"(???)
"here."(Kat)
"I see you are a member. Yes, my name is Martha. How can I help you?"(Martha)
"One day, I decided to leave my home and kingdom. I told everyone that I'm going hunting. I couldn't take more than my hunting gear so it wouldn't look strange. There are lots I need, but I'll stick with two things for now.
One is sleepwear, and the second is sweat-wear. I only have on me 61 mar. Is there anything that can fit my coinage?"(Kat)
"What is sweat-wear?"(Martha)
"Early in the morning, I do some stretching and then run until I can't run anymore because my legs feel like slime. I need underwear and shirt, and thin lose pants because I will be sweating in them. They need to be something that won't stick to my skin."(Kat)
"Know I get the sweat part of it. 61 mar is pushing it. I can make a deal with you. I'm assuming you are in training at the farm. Is that correct?"(Martha)
"Yes, that is how it will go."(Kat)
"You are a huntress. I read it on your guild card. I'm assuming that you used all your arrows, and they have blood on them. That's why you don't have any in your quiver.
I also used to be a huntress. I got so sick and tired of the blood problem that I requested an enchantment on my top-grade arrows. The arrows become blood-sucking arrows. It's self-repairing, self-cleaning, and paralyzing.
I'll give you them plus my bow. I don't hunt anymore. In the forest by the house, there is a white stag with golden antlers, called Goldhorn. The antlers are made of a material called Adamant. Adamant used to make adamantine, also known as Adamantium or Adamantite.
I don't care about the meat. The antlers and fur are what I want. I will trade you the bow, arrows, and outfits equal to the two sets of Goldhorn. What do you think?"(Martha)
"I can do it. It will take time, and it will be educational. It's a deal."(Kat)
"Good choice. I'll take your measurements, and I'll give you the items. I also will provide you with a vile of Goldhorn piss, which will help with your tracking skill. I'll bring the clothing to the house. I also live there. I always come home with the other girls."(Martha)
"You live there? I heard it only girls living there. Don't you get harassed by men?"(Kat)
"Why would you think that?"(Martha)
"Well, you're beautiful. I would expect men would want to get a beautiful flower-like you. I could even see them fighting each other for you."(Kat)
"Hahaha, they flirt with me or whistle at me, but no pressure like that. The nobles and adventurers wouldn't stand still if anything like that went around. I don't know if Rory told you what happened to start the flower house?"(Martha)
"Yes, she told me. When I went into the adventure guild, I was surprised not to see a bar or a restaurant inside. After being on the road or hunting, don't you think a good meal would be good after getting paid? It looks like a merchant guild to me."(Kat)
"They had at one time. Some couldn't behave with alcohol, which got shut down. Now people go home or inn to drink and eat. Inns serve food and alcohol. Do you drink alcohol?"(Martha)
"I'm only 15 years old. In my previous kingdom, you need to be 21 years old to drink."(Kat)
"Oh, here you only need to be an adult. You are already an adult. Then I should bring some home to have for dinner. You need to live a little and enjoy it."(Martha)
Kat got everything done at Martha's shop. Having a new toy was frustrating for her in the right way; She has to try it out.
Kat headed to the farm. She at least needs to read the book on the beasts before going hunting.
Kat looked up in the sky and wondered what time it is. Then she messaged Gods to ask. {Reply: How many hours are in a day? How many days in a month and a year?}
{I'm God Felix. I'm God of history, music, and art. The world is more massive than the earth, so it takes the sun to rotate around longer. The world has 20 hours of daylight and 10 hours of nights. You will notice that it has two moons. There are 12 months in a year, but each month has the same 30 days. I bet at first to adjust to the time zone will take some time. Don't push yourself too hard. You could even try taking a nap. There are also more meals during the day; breakfast, brunch, lunch, pre-dinner, and dinner. Some even have snacks throughout the day instead of meals.}
{That is good to know. I don't plan on killing myself. I would sleep five hours a day on weekdays and sleep in on weekends. That will need to be changed. I will need to adjust the eating. This will be interesting. So far, this world isn't evil at all; people are amicable and helpful. I did expect to see some undesirable people; it's only natural. Thank you for your quick response. I do like this world so far.}
