Capítulo 32: Sulty Town

After getting healed, Albert and Alisa helped the guild recover all the corpses.

Albert learned that it was necessary to get the corpses because they could get more than just mere proof of the kill.

While helping, Albert learned many things from Alisa. He understood that all he had was just a special Bonk skill. If he had an experienced opponent like her, he wouldn't last long.

That was why Albert was eager to learn from Alisa. He absorbed all sorts of knowledge to fix his flaws.

The transport took them a few hours as they needed to go back and forth, grabbing a few corpses at a time.

After that, they let Fila do her job in calculating their reward for this subjugation while they rested for the day. They had agreed to go to another town early in the morning, so they needed to recover their stamina by sleeping.

The next day.

Albert was waiting for Alisa next to the guild.

She didn't wear armor this time. She only had a yellow dress, reaching her knees. A red silk cloth tied around the dress across her stomach. She also wore long white pants since they were going to move a lot today.

She tied her hair into a ponytail and hung her sword on the waist. There was a small leather bag hanging around her shoulder.

When she approached Albert, she smiled and said, "Sorry for making you wait."

"No problem. I just arrived."

"Let's go then. We will rent a horse." Alisa pointed at the building not far from them. "I have made an appointment."

"In that case, I should pay. After all, this is for me.' Albert suggested.

"This is a part of the reward, so you don't need to mind. I will make sure the guild reimburse me later." She winked her right eye, assuring Albert.

"In that case…" Albert finally agreed.

"Good. Let's go." Alisa smiled and led him to a tavern.

Since she was handling all the problems, Albert waited in front of the tavern until Alisa came out with a horse. Albert had told her that he couldn't ride a horse, so she only rented one.

Luckily, her body was quite small and Albert wasn't that much different from a normal human, so the bigger horse was able to carry them both.

Now that they had acquired a horse, they headed straight to the gate before mounting them.

Albert was sitting behind her as she gripped the handle.

"Hang on tight."

Albert put his hand on Alisa's waist awkwardly. He had experience with women, but he didn't know the norm of this world, so he tried to be a bit more courteous, even though this town seemed to be horny all the time.

Luckily, Alisa didn't make the horse run too fast as the bounce wasn't too much.

They left the forest and headed east. This was the direction where he first appeared in this world.

He even found the pond where he saw his own reflection for the first time.

They crossed the grassland for another hour before a stone wall appeared in their vision.

The stone wall was fifty feet tall, making it look majestic.

When they came closer, Albert noticed that the wall was made of cobblestone and there was also a gate similar to the one he found in the previous town, albeit without a ditch.

"This is Sulty Town. You can get many things from here as it's the connecting town between the county and twenty smaller towns like us."

"Is that so? The world is really vast, isn't it?" Albert pretended to be amazed. Although he had heard something similar back on Earth, he wanted to get some information from Alisa.

"Ah, right." Alisa remembered Albert's story and explained, "We're in the Rousorin Kingdom's territory and the one governing this area is Count Matthew. I don't think you will meet any nobles soon, so I will explain everything later."

"Sorry for the trouble."

"No problem." Alisa took out a small badge from her bag and showed it to the guards.

Upon seeing it, the guards didn't hesitate to let her in without saying anything.

After entering the town, Alisa and Albert came down because of the rule here.

"Are you an important person here?" Albert asked.

"I am a knight dispatched to oversee the Lustville Town." She explained.

"Is that so? No wonder you're strong." He nodded.

"Strong, huh. Well, I'm pretty strong, but I can't be compared to the count's knights." She chuckled. "Anyway, I am going to bring you to the temple first. After that, do you want to look around the town to know what you can get from here?"

"I would love to." Albert didn't reject it as this might be important later when he wanted to travel around the world to bonk more people.

After getting Albert's agreement, she led him to another tavern so they could take care of the horse for them.

Now that they were alone, she brought him to the temple where he could get the blessing.

The building was similar to a cube but with a cone-shaped roof that made them unique among other buildings around. There wasn't a single building made of wood in this town either, making him realize that this town was far more prosperous than Lustville Town.

As if she understood what he was thinking, Alisa said, "Well, even if you're here, it's hard to get a hunting job. It's better to head to one of the twenty towns because we're closer to the hunting area."

"Ahaha…" Albert chuckled and tried to shift the topic. "By the way, what should I do after this?"

"Nothing. The priest will take care of everything. You just need to wait." Alisa shrugged. "Normally, you go to the temple when you are five to ten years old since that's the best age for you to start your training according to your job.

"Since you're a special case, I will just talk with the priest first and explain your situation. The priest should understand and won't ask you questions."

Albert nodded furiously, telling her he understood.

Alisa smiled and opened the temple door.
