Drakengard Anomaly: The Tale of an Angel and an Intoner

Chapter 5 - Exploring Cagliamola

The city of Cagliamola came to life in the morning, men worked in the fields, merchants opened their shops and prepared to travel, and vendors went to their stalls to carry out business, filling the streets with the sound of commerce.

In an inn, two peculiar guests slept, a man wearing strange clothes and an exotic-looking girl.

-Inside the Inn-

You know, it's nice to get a good night's sleep. You wake up in a good mood and ready to take on the world! At least that's how I would have felt if I'd gotten a good night's sleep.

Who knew that a girl so small could snore so loud? It sounded like a choking pig sleeping next to me.

I don't know how she didn't wake up with her snoring. Now I'm here, looking at the ceiling and regretting my life choices.

Looking to the side, I saw Rose moving, it looked like she was waking up. She rolled from side to side on her bed and covered her head with a pillow, trying to block out the street noises.

However, it didn't work very well. Muttering irritably and letting out a string of insults, Rose stood up, stretching and yawning audibly.

"Good Morning." Rose said with a smile upon seeing me.

Don't give me that good morning talk! While you slept like a rock, I had to hear your television static snores!

"Good Morning." I answered, smiling too.

We left our beds and readied ourselves for the day.

"Hey, here is your coat, you can have it back." Rose said, returning my coat.

I looked Rose up and down, analyzing her dress and frowning at how revealing it was, I think she should keep wearing my coat.

"Know what; keep the coat until we find better clothes for you." I replied, gazing away.

Rose looked at herself, blushing a little, and quickly put on my coat, looking away soon after.

It seems she understood what I meant. With that done, we went downstairs, with me carrying my backpack with Noir, Rubrum, and the money inside.

We sat at a table in the tavern and talked for a while after ordering our food.

"Alan?" Rose asked me.

"Yes?" I replied.

"What are we doing today?"

Good question Rose. What are we going to do today? I would like to know more about this land, Midgard.

"How about we explore the city? We still have a lot of money; we can do some shopping, and visit interesting places. I, for example, would like to visit a monastery."

It's true; I would like to visit a monastery, not for tourism but for its library. If my memory serves me right, there were only three places in the middle Ages where I could find a library.

Private ones were out of option; I doubt that a noble would let a nobody like me into his library.

University libraries were an option, but I doubt I'll be able to get into one.

This left me with one last option, the Monacal libraries developed inside monasteries and abbeys, and I hope the monks will let me in.

"I didn't know you were religious." Rose asked annoyed; it seemed like she didn't like religion.

"And I'm not, I just want to visit the place, I'd like to make the most of my stay here, by the way, Rose, what can you tell me about Midgard?" I asked, taking advantage of the opportunity to learn more about Midgard without having to threaten anyone.
