Might
(I want to invite someone to go with me but... Is no one else here anymore?)
He was anxious about puttering around a strange town by himself. It seemed
easier to listen to stories if there was someone to go with him.
Might
(Anyway, I'll change my clothes...)
He slipped out of bed, and changed into his usual clothes when Pam came
in.
Pam
...Might~!
Might
Hey, Pam.
Pam
Might, are you going somewhere?
Might
Yeah. I think I'll go out to town after this to collect various information.
Pam
Hu~n... Umm, if it's ok can you take me with you?
Might
Ah, that's fine. I was just thinking about inviting someone.
Might readily agreed.
Pam
Wa~i! Ne, ne, hurry let's go let's go!
Might
H, hey wait, I'm still getting ready-.
Pam was very glad to go to town with him, and he pulled Might's hand towards
the town as he dressed on the way.
The two came to the liveliest market in the town.
Pam
Wah~ Look look Might, there's all kinds of shops lined up.
Might
It really is lively. Pam, don't get lost in all the people.
Pam
Un!
As he said that Pam snuggled up to him, and tightly held his arm.
As they walked through the market, soon they came to a line of eating places.
Pam
Hey Might, what are those?
Might
Those looks like fruit and vegetable shops. They're full of unusual ones
that I haven't seen either.
Pam
Hunn... Then, those are?
Might
Those are fish markets. The old man of the inn said that around here fresh
fish were a special product.
Pam
The fish are all kinds of colors and shapes. How strange.
His curiosity rising, Pam's eyes jumped around as he asked Might about them
as he pointed at things one by one. Might also politely answered his questions
one by one.
Pam
Next to that shop is a sake shop! Nee, Might, you don't drink do you?
Might
Yes. Sake is for grown ups and isn't good.
Pam
Ri-ght! It's not good to drink too much like Leica when I grow up!
Might couldn't do anything but answer Pam's too honest response with a wry
smile.
However, the crucial information was tidy. The two walked around the circumference
of the marketplace listening for information, but they weren't able to get
any important information.
Might
Hmmm, it seems like there won't be anymore information even if we keep walking
and asking. Pam, it's regrettable but let's slowly...
But as he started saying that, Might noticed Pam wasn't by his side.
Might
...Huh? Pam?
He looked around and immediately found Pam's figure. His half animal person
figure still drew the jeers of humans. Pam was quietly looking at something
in front of one stall.
Might
Pam, what are you looking at?
Pam
Ah, umm...
He pointed at a brightly colored candy- It had a swirling pattern, and it
was probably as big as Pam's head. Pam's eyes brightened as he stared at
the candy.
Pam
Umm, that looks really big and pretty. And really sweet...
Might
Is that so? I haven't eaten such a large candy, either.
Pam
Might, do you hate sweets?
Might
It's not that, but... When I was in the orphanage, we were poor so we didn't
eat very many things like sweets.
It was unfortunate, and Pam made agreeable sounds as he stared at the candy.
Soon he turned around,
Pam
Nee, Might...
As Pam bashfully seemed to entreat Might he stared at him quietly. It was
an obvious an expression that said, "I want the candy".
Might thought about it a little, and soon he pulled out a coin from his
pocket,
Might
Huhu, it can't be helped. But, just one piece? Excuse me, this large candy
please.
He said that as he bought Pam's favorite candy.
Might
Please come now, Pam.
Pam
Ya-y ya-y! Thank you, Might- yum!
Pam accepted the candy from Might, and at once sucked on the large candy.
Pam
Mmmm, sweet and delicious~!
Might
Huhu, it looks like it's completely your favorite.
Pam
Yeah! Thank you Might, I'm really happy!!
He was very glad to be able to buy the candy for Pam, whose smile wasn't
fading.
Might
Ah, that's right...
Pam
What's wrong? Might?
Might
I forgot to buy something for a moment, so can you go on ahead?
Pam
Eh?
Might
I think I'll catch up with you soon, so go ahead.
Pam
Ok! I got it!
When Pam answered energetically, he began taking light steps towards the
inn.
Might
...Pam, it seemed so delicious.
Might
Secret from Pam, I'm going to buy some candy too...
Might bought the same candy as Pam from the shop, and immediately at it.
Might
This really is delicious...
As he ate the candy, Might slowly walked towards the inn.
Lorence
You're back, Might.
Lorence looked back as the door of the room opened.
Everyone else seemed to have already returned. Leica and Pam were relaxing
in their room, too.
Pam
Welcome back, Might!
Leica
Yo, you're late.
Lorence
And, were you able to obtain any information? For us, it was a fool's errand.
..
Might
Yeah, I was feeling refreshed. It looks like the story of what happened to the village
has reached around here, but as for the "silver chaos" thing...
Lorence
I see... As I thought, we weren't able to gather any prominent information
here.
Leica
Naa, so why don't we abandon this town, and go to a different town?
The man said that in an unusually frustrated way for him. Leica seemed eager
to search for clues... Of course, his goal was probably the reward money.
Lorence
Hmm, that's true... Tomorrow morning, we'll leave this town.
It was rare for him to agree with Leica's opinion.
Might
That's... right. I think that's better, too. We might be able to find some
clues in a different town...
So, with their views settles, all members went to bed early that night.
The next day, Might and the others left eastward in the early morning and
arrived in a different town. It was a large, populous town.
Though they hurried as much as possible that arrived well into the evening.
Lorence
It's already late today. We'll try to get information tomorrow.
The group headed toward's the inn according to Lorence's directions the
same as yesterday.
But, rooms this day were assigned to each. Might, getting wise to Lorence's
intentions, leaked a wry smile.
Everyone finished their meals and each group withdrew to their rooms.
Might
(But, it's still early to sleep, what should I do...)
Does he go out to town?
Go to the other rooms.
Go to the baths.
Rest a little because he's gotten tired.
