I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 55: Touring the Capital

"No!! How dare you try to kidnap my Angus from me!!" said the woman with black hair.

Hearing the shouting from the woman, the others resident also come out.

"Aunt Hersha, what happens?" asked Vergil who comes first as he happens to be nearby.

"Vergil, y-your brother is kidnapped. Look… the window opens just when I come in and your brother is gone." said Aunt Hersha.

Hearing this and looking at the window who is abruptly open from the inside, Vergil immediately knows that Angus is run away rather than being kidnapped as his aunt exclaimed.

Then, he immediately calms down his aunt before she doing something outrageous. Her aunt may look like an energetic middle-aged woman but she is a full-fledge-six-grade human with strong combat capability.

With her strength capability and personality, she will surely put upside down the whole capital city.

"Calm down Aunt Hersha, Angus is not being kidnapped. He just runs… I mean going outside for a while." said Vergil

"Really?? But, why his presence suddenly gone?? Still to come out without greeting his aunt is kind of rude. Pavlon, ready the carriage we will pick up Angus.

"Err… Why don't we wait for Angus until afternoon? Besides, didn't Aunt Hersha has a job to be done?" as Vergil tried to persuade his aunt.

"Hmm… Boohoo… I want my Angus now. But, you are right. I am quite busy taking care of your Daddy job. Alright, I will wait for him to come back for now."

'Fiuh… safe...' thought Vergil.

Before Vergil finishes his thought, "Vergil, I want you to search for Angus. Since I can't go by myself, as his brother you need to search and keep him safe. I want both of you back before this afternoon."

"Otherwise… let's think about that later. Now, Pavlon which way is the study room again?" as Aunt Hersha going out from the room leaving the surprised Vergil.

'Curse you, Angus!! Why I am the one that needs to search for him. Everyone in the family knows that if he wants to hide forever no one could found him but our father. Even teacher Andria, his tutor couldn't catch him much less me.' curse Vergil at his current situation.

Meanwhile, Vergil lamenting his fortune, the preparator himself already walking around the capital city leisurely.

The Heart kingdom capital city is also known as Ashdun city, the lifeful city even during the night time. This place is the center of the Heart kingdom, the strongest kingdom of the human race.

This place is also where merchant from various other nation gathers and trade. Sometimes people could say that besides the East Coast city, this is one of the best places to making money through trading or procuring a rare material.

Therefore, even it still early in the morning, many people already open their shop and trading with passerby. The environment is like a local market on Earth, with various people shouting to promote their product, haggling, or just looking around.

Inside this chaotic market, a boy with black hair strolling around while looking at each shop with enthusiasm.

'Hmm… come to think of it, this is the first time I go outside on my own and looking around the capital city. Well, let's enjoy myself. It's been a while since I meet this kind of environment' thought Agnus.

While walking around Angus notice a lot of pamphlets and advertisements through magic about Golden Trade's Auction. Some people even shouting to not miss this kind of event around.

Looking at all this hard worker person, 'This is the first time I feel grateful being born as a rich high noble.' Thought Angus while looking around the market.

Although Angus looks like a kid, no one bothers him since in this world there are also few kinds of small height races like dwarves, halflings, etc. So, people in this world never judge a person by their height or appearance.

After a while, he found a particular food stand that sells something similar to yakitori from Japan on Earth. Smelling the scent of meat stuck with the wooden stick being cooked, his stomach grumbles.

'I didn't have time to have breakfast this morning. Let's try to eat this food. I hoped it is as good as yakitori on Earth.' Thought Angus while approaching the stand.

Looking at Angus's approach, "Here… Here… try our roasted meat for 10 copper. Freshly roasted meat for 10 copper.

"Uncle, please give me one." as Angus pretend to hand 10 copper coin from his pocket that took from his wristwatch storage.

Although Angus didn't truly care about money, he still knows the value of money and the trouble that it could bring. After all in his previous life, he lives in a world where money governs everything.

So, he picks up a few tricks to camouflage his space storage. Angus knows that space storage is an expensive item especially if it is modeled like the wristwatch he had. Showing this in this place is the same as saying "I have treasure, please robbed me".

"Here's your meat, kid." as the uncle receives Angus's coin.

After getting the coins, the uncle immediately gives Angus a lump of meat that sticks with a wooden stick.

Without any moment, Angus takes a bite of the meat. The freshly juicy roasted meat immediately melts inside his mouth and gives a sense of euphoria to him.

"Damn.. this is delicious. Uncle, I will have five more." as Angus keeps eating his roasted meat.

"Five roasted meat coming up." replied the uncle with smiling while cooking another batch of roasted meat.

After a while, "Here, the five roasted meat." as the uncle gives the meat to Angus.

"Alright, thanks, uncle." Angus gives a silver coin to him while took the five sticks.

"Hey, kid. This is too much." said the uncle.

But, Angus already walks away while saying, "Keep the change, thanks for the delicious food."

While enjoying his food, he also found a lot of strange merchants that display some of his merchandise on the ground.

Some passersby looking at the merchandise before writing something on the merchandise tag before leaving. Unlike the others, at this location, the merchant didn't bother about it or trying to haggle. The merchant didn't even try to promote their products.

None of them seems to buy the merchandise from this merchant but the merchant himself didn't care as long as they didn't steal their merchandise. Looking at these particular merchants, Angus approaches one of them.

"Welcome, please look around." said the woman merchant.

After looking carefully, Angus found many different prices on the tags along with time. "Err.. excuse me, could you explain about this?"

"Ohh.. boy you are new here. This place is where merchant sells their product that is not got selected to be auction by the Golden Trader. So, they held some sort of auction by themself in this place."

"Just place your name and the bid price in the tag of item that interests you. If your price comes to be the highest, it will be sold to you during the specified time. "

"You could also buy the item directly by paying their buyout price." as the woman merchant explains and puffing her smoke pipe.

"I see… thanks for the explanation." replied Angus while looking at the merchandise.

He found almost all the merchandise is a strange scrap or sort of antique. Some tags explain that they are coming from the ancient ruins.

After looking for a while, he didn't found a strange material or things that he was attracted to. Even by using [Mana Eye], he still didn't found something interesting. But, he keeps looking around between one merchant and the others

Finally, he finds a strange bracelet with a swirl pattern on it. The bracelet is made of an unknown material with a black swirl pattern on it. He didn't know but his instinct is attracted towards this bracelet after looking at it once.

After checking the with [Mana Eye] and examined the bracelet, he found nothing about it.

'Interesting… Let's look at the price. This is…. Buyout 10 gold coins. This is a ripoff. Let's bid first. 1 silver coin.' Thought Angus while he writes on the tag.

Then, Angus walking around looking for something interesting while his roasted meat stick. There is still sometimes before the specified time ends.

Walking for a while, he notices someone advertising, "Come… Come, Please try our magical drink Fizzy Beer. A beer that will not make you drunk. Children and adult is permitted to drink our Fizzy Beer"

'Fizzy Beer… Children also could try it. Interesting…" As Angus approaches the shop.

The shop is modeled like an ordinary drinking tavern. However, you could see a few children here and there drinking something. Unlike the normal drinking tavern, none of the customers seems drunk and could enjoy the drinks to their heart content.

Looking at this, Angus approaches the bartender. "Excuse me, one Fizzy Beer please."

"Yes, right up. Here's the drink. It's 10 copper coins." said the bartender while giving the drink.

After Agnus pay for the drink, he looks at the green-colored carbonated drink in front of him.

"Besides the light green color, it looks similar towards those carbonated drinks from Earth." Thought Angus inwardly

Looking at the light green colored carbonated drink, he prepares himself before deciding to drink it.

In the past life, Angus is kind of a foodie. But, he also doesn't want to upset his stomach from drinking something that looks like poison especially in this fantasy world. He even thought how could this shop survive just by selling this weird-looking colored drink.

The moment he drinks it, "T-This is… refreshing."
