“Hwaaah...”

The morning light poured through the window, waking my mind. It was still just past the crack of dawn. I got up and looked down at the city from the window, but there was hardly any pedestrian traffic outside. As a younger man, I’d always been the type to go to sleep early and wake up early, but I felt like I’d been losing my grip on that over the last few years. Was this what it was like to get old?

I quickly got dressed and descended from the second floor of the inn to the lobby. This inn had been described to me as cheap, but compared to the public lodgings all the way out in Beaden, it was very well built.

“Well, it’s pretty rude to compare them,” I mumbled as I walked down the stairs. Even the most rotten of inns in Baltrain’s central district had to maintain pretty high standards. Otherwise, it would be out of business fast.

Seated at the front counter was the inn’s owner. “Good morning, Mr. Gardinant,” he said. “You’re up early as usual.”

“Yeah, good morning. It’s a habit.”

I was thinking of having a simple meal before taking an early morning stroll. After walking around with Kewlny and Ficelle the other day, I figured it’d be nice to learn a little more about Baltrain as a whole. It would be entirely possible for me to come across even more interesting sights.

“The same as usual, please,” I said.

“Right away, sir.”

It’d been some time since I’d chosen this inn as my base. The owner already had a grasp of my routine, so he could prepare my breakfast menu despite my vague request. That felt pretty nice, in its own way. Made me feel like a regular—a regular for nothing more than an inn, though.

“Thanks for the meal.”

A simple breakfast was placed before me, and I smacked my lips lightly at the food, which consisted of bread, bacon, eggs, salad, and milk. Simple though it was, the quality of the ingredients and the overall taste was exceptional. As expected of an inn in the central district.

“Okay, time to get going.”

I hyped myself up—well, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration—and left the inn to take a breather. I started by walking toward a line of somewhat tall buildings. This road was narrower than the main streets, but still neatly paved and maintained, reminding me that I was still in such a glorious city. I figured I would just wander around aimlessly for a while. After all, I still had a lot of time before the knights began their training.

“Mmm, nice weather today. The air tastes great.”

After walking for a bit, I came out onto a large, empty street. Even though this was a main thoroughfare, it was too early for any carriages to be rolling about, and pedestrians were very sparse.

“I guess this part of town is pretty old.”

I hadn’t taken a good look around before this, but none of the buildings seemed particularly new. Judging by the state of their walls, they’d seen quite a few years.
