Chapter 6

It's Morning, and I had woken up early and sat down on my bed, and looking around the bedroom of the inn recommended by captain Eric. 

Anastasia was still fast asleep on the bed. She was turned to face me and was coddling with me. 

The reason why Anastasia and I was sharing a room was because the inn was fully booked, and only one room was remaining vacant. And the room only had one bed.

Initially I wanted to sleep on the couch that was in the room or on the floor, but Anastasia didn't allow that.

I don't know what to do today. Maybe I should take the time to take Anastasia around town to do some fun things...

or maybe I should check out the Adventurer's guild in the town....?

TThere got to have an Adventurer's guild in this world!

I got out of bed somehow without waking up Anastasia, and sat down on the couch. When she woke up, I was already prepared. 

"Hmmm... Hmmm....."

"Oh Anastasia, you're up? Good morning!" I greeted her, trying to smile warmly.

"Hmm, morning."

She responded to my greetings while she stretched and yawned. 

"You can go and take a bath before you eat." I told her. 

But Anastasia started to look at me with a puzzled look on her face, as if she thought that I was pranking her or something. 

"Captain Eric paid for us to stay here for the night, so it's all good if you use the bathroom. Hurry up!" I assured her that everything was okay. 

She began to ease up after I'd assured her that everything was alright. 

"Okay.... I'll do that then!" Anastasia responded with a burst of energy and got out of bed. 

There was a bathroom inside the room which captain Eric booked us in, so we didn't have to use the main bathhouse.... we were treated like Nobles. 

After Anastasia was done and had gotten dressed, we went downstairs to eat breakfast prepared by the inn.

"Hey, good morning! Have you choose what you would like to order?" The waiter came up to our table and asked with a bright smile. 

Anastasia had a perplexed look on her face, as she stared into the menu. She remained like that for a while before she eventually chose what she wanted to eat. 

We made our orders and waited until the food comes. We ate a delicious meal with some drinks.... the food didn't look any different than how the foods looked back in my original world. The only thing that's different is the taste. 

Well, I guess the foods are still different from each other.... and technology plays a crucial role in developing taste in the food we eat. 

After we were finished eating breakfast, Anastasia and I left the inn to reach up with captain Eric to receive a reward. 

"Un, so what are we going to do during the rest of the day, Mr. Kyle?" Anastasia asked me. 

"Well, firstly we have to collect something from captain Eric. And after we'll pay a visit to the Adventurer's guild. That's all for today...."

Well, I guess she is good with my plans for today, huh? I couldn't tell what going on in her head, but I just know that she's in.

Anastasia was smiling as we exited the inn, and I couldn't help but to think that today was going to be a blast of a day. There was a carriage was parked in front of the inn with a slender woman in a kind of high tech breastplate armor, she has long blueish hair. 

She was just standing there folding her arms and bracing on the carriage. Although this world seems to be technologically advanced, the people are still using medieval style of transportation. 

I guess I might not be all that different than the Isekai anime protagonists.... I just have to do my best to survive in this world. 

"You must be sir Kyle and lady Anastasia? Good morning, I'm Amy, and captain Eric sent me to pick you up." The female knight greeted us, and opened the door for us. 

"So captain Eric sent for us? Cuz I was planning on paying I'm a visit later on."

"What do he want from us?" Anastasia asked the Knight.

"Didn't captain Eric tell you why he sent for you guys? Well, captain Eric wanted to thank you guys for saving his life.... and his patrol unit." The female knight Amy answered Anastasia's question in a friendly way. 

Captain Eric had told me yesterday about the reward, but I didn't know that it was a public thing within the Knights Corps....

I just wish that this whole thing would stay a secret between Anastasia, me, and him. There got to be one reason why the other Knights found out.... it's either captain Eric is nobility or he told the Knights who is in charge of.

"The captain would like to thank you both for saving his him. This is a big deal for us, his unit and the citizens of this town." Amy explained to us. 

"Because if weren't for you, captain Eric wouldn't be alive and well. Even the members of the patrol unit is also grateful for your assistance in protecting the captain. Thank you!" Amy thanked us, showing appreciation for Anastasia and I. 

I mean, if wasn't for Anastasia's ability to summon wolves I would've passed by without noticing anything wrong... so I decided to thank Anastasia for wanting to save captain Eric and his unit. 

I patted Anastasia on her head and she began to blush and smile. It was wholesome to see her smile.

We continued to ride in the carriage with the female knight Amy. After a while of riding the carriage through the medieval European Town, we finally arrived at the castle, which was built around the town. 

"Welcome to the Knights headquarters, where we train the future Knights. Please follow me, captain Eric is waiting for you. "

The female knight said as she opened the door and exited. Anastasia and I followed after her. All of the Knights who were training had stopped and watched as Anastasia and I passed by. 

Umm,why are the other Knights watching us? What did we do wrong....?

Don't worry, the reason why they are looking at us is probably because we saved their beloved captain., sothere is nothing to be afraid of.

"Isn't those two the people who saved captain Eric?"

"Yeah , it seems like it. I mean, the guy seems strong along with the little girl. So I think it's not a lie."

"True, true. I mean he looks like he can take out a whole group of goblins."

"Hmmm..."

The Knights were standing in the compound of the castle and talking about Anastasia and I accomplishments. I mean who wouldn't talk.

"Look, Mr. Kyle, the Knights are talking about you..." Anastasia got my attention and whispered to me. 

"Ah, I see that they are staring at us." I responded to Anastasia, as we entered into the castle. 

It wasn't as if we had done something wrong or anything, we were just kind of famous. After thinking about things more carefully, I didn't do anything and tried to make Anastasia feel as comfortable as possible. 

The female knight Amy took us into the castle that surrounds the town, and she took us into a private room that have a throne inside of it..... it looks like a typical throne room to me...

Captain Eric was standing in proximity to the throne, and man was sitting comfortably on the throne. 

"My lord, these are the two people who risked their lives in order to save the patrol unit." Captain Eric briefed the man about the situation. 

The man stared at me with narrowed eyes, as if he was trying to analyze my skills. 

"Hmmm...." The man ran his fingers through his white long beard. 

"If captain Eric says that you were the ones who saved the patrol unit, then I can't argue with that. " The man said, as he continued stare at me. 

"I am Julius Against Lambert, the lord of this town and the surrounding territory. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, sir Kyle and lady Anastasia. Thank you both for saving my Knights!" The man bowed showing his gratitude for us. 

"Uhhh, thank you my lord...but it's really nothing. My companion and I was just passing by and just decided to help." I said while rubbing my head in embarrassment. 

"Yeah, it's really nothing. " Anastasia chimed in. 

"Please accept the reward from lord Julius! It's our thanks for saving the patrol unit!" Captain Eric chimed in on the Lord's side. 

Both Captain Eric and lord Julius were bowing to us, to what it seems like they were pleading for me to accept the reward they have in store for us. Although only four of us along with some guards were in the throne room, the room felt like a couple of people was gathered in the room with us. 

The pressure is overwhelming! I don't know what option to choose, either to refuse the reward or accept it.

If I refused to accept his reward, then who knows what's going to happen to us? But still, if I accept then they I would owe them a favor... astheysay, "nothing in this world comes for free"...

What am I going to do now....?

I was torn between refusing or accepting the reward. It would do wonders for Anastasia and I. 

"Fine . I'll accept you guy's reward. After all, it would do wonders for my companion Anastasia and I..." I finally accepted their reward.... and from looking at them, I can see that they wanted me to accept. 

Anastasia just gave me a look that means that she was in agreement with my decision. The man snapped his fingers and a knight came into the room holding a pouch. 

He placed the pouch into captain Eric's hands and he began to approach me, holding the pouch. He placed it into my hands... as soon as I received it, I felt that the pouch was extremely heavy. I almost dropped it. 

"Thank you once more for saving the patrol unit. If you need any favors or help, just come by or usemy name!" Captain Eric gave me a stereotypical Mc smile. 

"Hahaha! I've been outdone by you again, Eric! Ahem, dear hero, in that pouch is approximately the sum of 400 gold coins to do what you want!"

The man got up and left the throne room and soon after, Anastasia, Eric and I exited the room. Eric went back to his training and Anastasia and I left the castle. 

"So what do you want to do with all the money we've received from the lord of this town?" I asked her. 

"Un, I don't know..." Anastasia was confused about what she wanted to do. "Maybe we should get something to eat first..."

"Good idea, Anastasia. I was getting hungry there...hahaha!"

So, Anastasia and I stopped at a small food stall and bought some food. After we were finished eating we took a tour around the medieval European Town, we spent the entire day doing fun stuff and bonding, until the sunset. 

We returned to the inn and rested for a little while before we ate dinner and had our baths. 

Like that the day came to an end...
