Buying a Better Map

It took another day to reach the town Jackie mentioned. I was completely out of the potted salmon I bought and now only left with salty meat jerky. 

But that didn't really matter since we were back in civilization again. Just like the previous times, I lined up for the queue to enter the town. Though this time, I'm accompanied by a horse and a spirit perched on my shoulder.

Because of Ani, people were conscious of me. They stared at me with interest like I'm some kind of museum exhibit. No, to be exact they were just looking at Ani. In their eyes, she looks like a small ball of light, but to me, I could see her appearance. 

"Excuse me miss but is that a spirit with you?"

Looks like someone finally gave in to their curiosity and asked. They looked like an adventurer or a mercenary from how they were geared up. I check their hand and saw an adventurer's ring license, so it is definitely the former.
