Having finally reached a larger city and acquired some local currency, I then found a place to stay. I stabled Sayr, put down my luggage, and breathed a heavy sigh, feeling the fatigue of my long journey catching up to me. I had crossed the Great Grasslands from their western edge to the eastern one. Even with a few stops along the way, I was exhausted.

I decided to spend three days—no, a week—recovering here. During that time, I would think over what exactly I planned to do here. Okay, what I had to do was plainly obvious. My objective had been clear from the moment I’d decided to travel here. But if I wanted to enjoy that process as much as possible, I’d need to learn a lot more about this eastern nation.

The homeland of the Yosogi School lay even farther east, in an island nation beyond the Ancient Gold Empire. I would need to do some research to find out both how to get there, and what would await me once I did. However, there was no need for me to do that research here in White River Province. If there was something that caught my interest in the other provinces, my first move would be to go there. In order to make that decision, I’d have to learn what I could about the empire during my stay in White Tail.

◇◇◇

And so, I found myself being led to a seat at a local bar. I mean, where else was I supposed to go to gather information? Though if I was being honest, I couldn’t say being able to drink to my heart’s content and partake in some good food for the first time in a while wasn’t part of the decision either. Oh, and apparently they didn’t call them bars here. They preferred the term “wine house.”

“What’ll it be today, my foreign friend?” A young waitress came to my table, pointing at some wooden panels hanging on the wall that seemed to be some sort of drink menu. Millet wine, rice wine, grape wine, apple cider, apricot cider. The first two were grain alcohols, while the last three were made from fruit.

I hesitated a bit. A well-populated menu at a bar was often proof of the city being particularly wealthy. Beyond that, in most places when you asked for a drink, you’d get the most popular local choice without any fuss. You could ask for other varieties if you wanted, but as they would almost always be imports, you’d be paying a steep price for them.

“Hmm. Lots of options I’ve never tried before. Do you have any recommendations?” Having only just arrived in the empire, I hadn’t tried any of the available options, and so was having a hard time deciding myself. Of course I had tasted grape wine and apple cider before, but the origin of the fruit used in its production had a huge impact on the flavor.

So when you’re lost, the best option is to ask someone for help.
