Outing with Maid (2)

"Miss Astrid….Ahem Astrid this is where I stayed when I first came to the capital," Lyra said, pointing to the modest-looking inn.

Astrid, who had been lost in thought, looked up and followed Lyra's gaze to the unremarkable building.

"It cost ten silver coins a night here, which was much more expensive than the inns in my hometown..."

When Testia first arrived, she spent a long time thinking about what to do.

She even considered spending the night on a bench and catching up on sleep after settling into her dormitory following the entrance ceremony at Isabeth's Academy of Magic.

Even without the series of events that followed, Lyra had eventually dismissed the idea of sleeping rough.

Her parents had always told her that while traveling, it was important to spend money wisely, especially as a young girl away from home, safety was the top priority.
