Chapter 2: In the Capital

Hearing Ri’s words, Sara leaned out of the window of the carriage to look at their destination. It was bad manners, but she was too excited to care.

“Wow! Err...or maybe not?”

She’d thought she would be surprised by the sight, but in fact she was a little let down. The first town she had seen in this world was Rosa, which was surrounded by walls, so every other town she encountered just ended up looking normal in comparison, no matter how big it was.

The city in front of her, which lay in the middle of a great flat meadow surrounded by small hills to the east and west, was bigger than any she’d seen before, however. The road they traveled down was more than large enough for carriages to pass by one another, and it was full of other travelers going in and out of the city just like them.

Kuntz smiled wryly at Sara’s reaction. “It’s a regular town, just one that’s really huge. They sell all sorts of things, and stuff is enough that a regular craftsman like my father can live here comfortably. Normal people just can’t buy anything too expensive or rare. That’s why I figured there was no real reason for me to stay in the capital, and decided to go to Hydrangea instead.”

It was the first time Sara had heard anything about Kuntz’s family, so she pulled herself back into the carriage. Allen seemed interested in hearing more, too.

“What kind of craftsman is your dad, Kuntz?” he asked.

“He mostly makes tableware and kitchen stuff. But he uses earth magic, so he can really make anything if he needs to. He helps out building houses and fixing roads sometimes. Stuff like that.”

“Sounds like a good job that helps a lot of people.”

“Yeah, I guess so. I really respect my dad,” said Kuntz. A warm, fuzzy feeling filled the carriage.

“Huh? Then why aren’t you staying at home?” Sara wondered.

“Well, ’cause my room belongs to my younger brother now. I’ll stop by to say hello of course, but I can’t really stay with them for long since I’ve already left the house.” Kuntz rustled around in the pouch at his waist and pulled something out. “I’ve got dried mushrooms, some of Marcia’s cookies, trout fillets... I bought all sorts of souvenirs for them.”

Sara had always thought Kuntz was a reliable older brother type, and this conversation was only bolstering her appraisal of him.

“I thought every place was pretty much the same when I first got to Hydrangea, but once you’ve lived there for a while, you realize each town’s got its own things going on. You have to actually go somewhere else to experience what it’s really like there.”

“Yeah, I think so too,” Allen agreed. “But I don’t think what the town’s like matters as much as what kinda relationships you’re able to build with the people there.”

Sara nodded along to the two boys’ conversation. Her mental age was higher than theirs, but there wasn’t much she could add about traveling.
