The Moonlight Swordsman

When Alora was thinking over the food, Aizel had already returned to his inn and was making his way downstairs to wait for Alisha to come.

"Well, Alisha said she'd come in the morning, but I'm not sure when, so I guess I'll wait for her at the restaurant." As he walked towards the inn's restaurant, Aizel thought.

Aizel grabbed the open seat as the waiter promptly approached his side to take his order.

"Well, I already had breakfast; perhaps I should try the beer here." Aizel was about to inquire about the beer when a lady came and sat next to him while giving the order to the waiter.

"Two Alesmith, please," said the lady with a lovely voice that dazzled the waiter.

"Sure, ma'am." The waiter rushed over to fetch them both a beer.

Aizel turned to face the lady, who turned out to be Alisha. Her long black hair was tied in a ponytail, and she was dressed in a regular shirt and pants with boots that resembled medieval clothing.

"Just try this beer; I'm sure you'll love it," Alisha revealed with a wink.

Aizel agreed, a little excited to drink a different beverage from another world.

"Well, Aizel, I inquired around the hunter guild about the blind girl with a kid..."

"Oh, don't worry, I found her yesterday," Aizel responded.

"Wait a minute, you found her, but how?" Alisha stated, dejectedly, that she spent so much time looking for the girl because she genuinely wanted to help Aizel.

Aizel recognized something in her expression and responded quickly.

"I was looking for some fruit, and she happened to be the shopkeeper. But thank you so much, Alisha, for attempting to help me." Aizel told her with a smile on his face.

Alisha blushed when she saw Aizel's smile. "Damn, he is so cute," she thought in her mind.

"Here are your two Alesmith," the waiter said, interrupting their chat.

Aizel examined the two glasses of beer, which appeared to be regular beers but had the aroma of fruit.

"Well then, cheers," Aizel said, raising his glass to meet Alisha's puzzled expression.

"What exactly does it mean?" Alisha inquired about him.

"What you don't know about it." Aizel paused for a bit to gather his thoughts. Maybe they don't share this tradition in this world.

"It's a tradition where I'm from; we lift our glasses and shout cheers before drinking," Aizel explained what he knew.

"Well, okay, cheers," Alisha said, raising her glass.

Aizel did the same, taking a large sip from the glass. Several flavors enticed his tongue as he drank the beer; it was bitter, spicy, and fruity. A superb blend of three distinct tastes.

"Oh my god, this tastes like heaven." While taking another sip, Aizel reflected.

"Did you like it?" Alisha inquired as she watched Aizel sip one after the other.

"This is the best beer I've ever had; can we please have another before we leave?" Aizel said this while staring at her with puppy eyes.

"He's so cute, damn, I'm going to fall in love with him," Alisha reflected, blushing.

And so, after two more beers, they left the inn to go to the beast store.

When they approached the store, Aizel noted that it was surrounded by stores selling weapons, potions, herbs, and other items.

"In my free time, I should visit every store." As they both entered the shop, Aizel reflected.

"How may I assist you today?" the shopkeeper said to both of them.

"We've come to sell the corpses of Thunder Wolf," Alisha spoke while the shopkeeper's eyes sparkled as he heard the thunder wolf's name.

"Oh my, that's pretty hard to come by; may I ask how many you have?" asked the shopkeeper.

Aizel drew thunder wolves from his ring and placed them on the table. It pilled up like a mountain. The shopkeeper was taken aback; he had never seen anyone sell so many Thunderwolf corpses before.

"I'll give you 18, no 20 gold coins for all of that." The shopkeeper shouted loudly, apparently anxious to buy the corpse.

"Deal." Alisha reacted even faster, hardly giving Aizel time to consider.

And just like that, the bargain was struck between them, and the shopkeeper handed them the red pouch containing 20 gold coins. Aizel placed the pouch into his ring.

"If you want to sell more corpses or buy more in the future, young fellow, always come to my shop, and I will offer you a good deal." While grinning from ear to ear, the shopkeeper told Aizel.

Aizel nodded in agreement, and after that, both of them exited the shop.

"What are you going to do now?" Alisha inquired, her gaze drawn to him. She clearly desired to spend more time with him.

"Well, I have to go see Daisy in the evening, so I'm free till then," Aizel replied.

"Daisy.... the blind girl?" Alisha inquired, and Aizel nodded in response.

"Then let me take you somewhere you'll love it, and if you're lucky, you might even find some treasure or a weapon." Aizel's interest was piqued when Alisha mentioned the treasure and weapon.

"Yeah, why not?" said Aizel.

"Let's grab a carriage then." As Alisa said, both of them walked towards the carriages and found one that was ready and waiting to take them away.
