Chapter 45: Chapter 45 - I miss something.

Two days have passed since we went to school, and today would be the day that the fair would start. You may be wondering how did I know that? Well, I'm outside now and I'm seeing it with my own eyes.

The fair would take place in an open place in the city. It was a large courtyard with some vegetation and small gardens, in addition to a fountain in the middle and some benches, it was a square that served for the leisure of the residents.

The seats were removed and the fountain was covered with some type of tarpaulin. After which the fountain was used by one of the merchants as a sales booth. Large price plates were placed on the tarpaulin that was covering the fountain.

Also, around the entire fountain was a huge table that he left the items he was selling on display.

Many stalls selling items and food were opened, they had more than I could count or visit.

There were no tents just in the square. Wherever you went on the main street and some more distant streets you would find a salesman, it was tempting not to spend money in this place.

Another thing that surprised me was the arrival of half-animal people in the city. Since I arrived in the city, I had not met any half-animal people, it was even kind of strange since it was common for me to meet them in my old world.

When I asked Sara about it, she said that these half-animal people live in a somewhat distant town. Very rarely do they visit the capital, so I haven't met any of them before.

People without common ears and animal ears over their heads, it was a nostalgic sight. Most of these people let their hair grow out to hide the side of their heads.

For some humans, it's sometimes a little uncomfortable to see a different person from them. However, for half-animal people, this is quite common. And in any case, it would be strange a person with four ears, isn't it?

I confess that I am even a little jealous since most of them have a much-improved hearing because of this characteristic.

But besides the half-animal people started to appear, nothing surprising happened during the first day of the fair.

Despite the large number of people who were at the fair, making mobility difficult in some places, many guards were made available for the security of the fair, so everything was very calm.

I think the only problem is the amount of money I spent on meals, I certainly spent more than necessary.

I am taking some things to Lisandra, I hope she is not irritated by the amount of money I spent.

"So, how did it go?" When I got to the inn room, I found Lisandra lying on her bed reading a book.

"It was nothing too much. As I thought, there are only stores and more stores, nothing very interesting." I delivered a bag with some different foods that I had bought for her to try.

Lisandra received her with a smile on her face.

"Thank you. But about the fair, didn't you find even half-animal people interesting? I saw that there are a lot of them in town."

"Are these people some kind of attraction by chance? I didn't find it interesting ..."

"That's not what I mean, you've never seen a person like that before, have you? I've never seen it either, so I say it's interesting."

"How can I say... I think their ears and tails are cute." I couldn't deny that they are too cute.

"Are you a pervert by any chance? Don't tell me you were chasing girls' tails around? You will end up being arrested for harassment."

"Of course I wouldn't do something like that, you idiot."

"I know, I'm just kidding."

After that, I took another piece of clothing and went to the shower, I had been walking all afternoon, so I had sweated a lot. And there is of the stinking people I met on the way.

Walking in the middle of a lot of sweaty, smelly people is not cool.

From then on I started to take off my clothes, but there was something strange, I held my pants and realized that they were lighter than normal. I didn't realize it before, but something is missing.

'Where is it.' I started searching desperately for the pockets in my pants, but I couldn't find. The small coin purse I had kept was no longer here. Wait for a second, I was robbed and I didn't notice?

This is impossible, I certainly had these coins until I arrived at the inn.

I pulled on my pants and left the bathroom immediately.

"Awawawa, what is this? What happened?" As I suddenly opened the door, Lisandra got scared and jumped out of bed in despair with a large piece of bread in her mouth. She opened her eyes wide and looked at me.

"Did you see a bag of coins around here? Did you see if it fell somewhere?"

"A purse with coins? I only have the one you left here before you left, why?"

"Are you sure you didn't see anything else? What the hell ..." I kept looking around the bedroom floor but without success in finding something.

"What happened? I'm getting worried."

"I went to the fair today, didn't I? I had taken a small bag of coins with me, but it looks like I lost it somewhere ..."

"Are you sure you didn't spend it all? Maybe you're mistaken."

"No, no. I sure did have coins when I came back, the last time I touched that money was when I bought those things for you." I pointed to the foods I had brought to Lisandra.

"After that, don't you remember where you put them?"

"I'm sure I put it in my pocket, and it was with me until I arrived at the inn. Or maybe I had already lost it before and I was wrong."

"What now? Did you have a lot of money?"

"I don't know, maybe some silver and bronze coins."

"SILVER COINS ?!"

"Don't worry, I will find these coins, I'll be right back, ok?"

"But it's getting dark, are you sure you're going to be okay?"

"Of course I'll be fine, wait for me here." I ran out of the room and left Lisandra behind.

If I was robbed near the inn, the thief is not far away. And if I've lost the coins somewhere nearby, I may still have a chance to find them. Damn it, why is that right now? I wanted something fun, not something desperate like that.

If I lose that money, we will have serious difficulties surviving in the future. The money left over is not enough to survive until our mother sends us more money.
