“Now, about our next destination, I was thinking of heading to the capital. My first priority is visiting different slave markets to find the people I’m looking for, but as long as we’re here, I thought we could check out the Advent Festival.”

I couldn’t wait to see what a festival in another world looked like. And it sounded like the unveiling of the new Saint meant the scale of it would be bigger than usual.

Despite my own feelings of elation, Ciel and Hikari didn’t look interested at all. “I’ll do what you say, Master,” Hikari said indifferently.

“I bet there’ll be lots of delicious and rare foods at the festival, though...” I added, feeling a little dejected about the response.

Suddenly, they both looked up at me with interest. “Is that true?” Hikari asked.

“I think so. At the very least, that’s what it was like in my homeland.”

“I’ll follow you, Master!” She spoke firmly, her fists clenched. Ciel looked excited as well.

I hope this is okay... What if otherworld festivals are different somehow? I wondered. There was no one to ask about it, so I’d have to leave it up to fate and chance. I’ll have to make some kind of apology dish if things go badly, won’t I?

That night, my companion, our animal friend, and I slept side by side together. Hikari had her arms around me, of course, but I was used to that by now. It no longer made me nervous. Was this what it was like to have a little sister?

I was an only child, so I couldn’t be sure, but the people I’d known had made it sound much less pleasant than this.

We woke up, ate breakfast, and left our inn. Our next destination was the merchants’ guild.

Hikari still seemed sleepy even after breakfast, so I dragged her along behind me as I walked. It looked like she still hadn’t recovered from the long walk just yet.

The receptionist I spoke to narrowed her eyes at first at the sight of my mask, but she didn’t hesitate to give me the explanation I requested. Being courteous to a suspicious man in a mask... Ah, such professionalism! Customer service was an important part of being a merchant, so maybe the staff had also learned a degree of emotional self-control.

I finished my registration as a merchant as planned and looked at my new guild card.

I knew a bit about what merchants did already, but the receptionist here told me a lot more. The biggest thing was that you had to register with the merchants’ guild to open a shop in a city. To open one in a city with a guild branch in it, you’d have to file an application. Having them vouch for your identity was useful even if you were a traveling merchant, though, and it helped people to trust you even in villages without guild branches.

In addition, the guild card had a function similar to a cash card back on Earth. Apparently other guilds had a similar thing, but at the merchants’ guild you could use that function immediately after registration.
