Fantasy Warrior: Ryu's Journey in Another World

Chapter 3: The First Quest, Finding Lost Pet

Ryu, Nina, and Navirou arrive in the inn that Nina suggests, a two-story building with Spanish Colonial architecture. "This is Black Tiger inn, named after one of the legendary heroes," Nina explained. "One of the best inn in HomeTown at an affordable price."

"This inn also had the best steak and donuts in HomeTown," Navirou added. The trio enters the inn.

"Welcome!" A friendly looking dog type Grassrunner greets the trio is the inn's proprietor. "You are here to order? Or are you looking for a room?"

"Shiba-Inu?" Ryu thought. "I'd like a room please."

"Understood, thank you for your patronage. The lodging fee is paid in advance." The inn proprietor said. "For 1 night and 2 meals that come to 13 Zenny, but if you book for 10 consecutive days I'll give you a discount of 110 Zenny."

"Alright then, I'll take the discount," Ryu said as he takes the money and gives it to the inn's proprietor. Then he turns his face to his friend. "Both of you haven't had dinner yet, right?"

"Yep! My stomach is killing me right now." Navirou pats his stomach.

"Then let's have a meal here," Ryu said.

"Are you gonna treat us?" Navirou asks with sparkling eyes.

"No, he's not. We pay for our meal ourselves." Nina said firmly.

The trio enjoy their set of dinner, a stew with meat, bread, salad, and cheese. The owner said that the meat is from a monster named Kelbi. As they finished their meal, Navirou and Nina bid a farewell to Ryu and went back to the place they live, Nina is on her school's dormitory, Navirou is on Felyne's settlement near the gate of the city. Ryu still not feeling tired and sleepy but decided to sleep early, he doesn't want to exhaust his body because tomorrow is his first quest as an adventurer.

Morning just come but Ryu already awake and doing meditation. As he felt his meditation complete, Ryu went outside his room and eating the prepared breakfast consisting of boiled potato, red beans, two sausage, four slices of bacon, a sunny side up egg and a glass of coffee. "Hmm, this is good. What monster meat is this?" Ryu asks as he eat the sausages and bacon.

"That's just normal cow and pork, dear guest." The owner told.

"Oh..." Eventually, not all meat is from monsters. "But this is good, the best sausage and bacon I ever eat."

"Thank you, I'm glad you like it." The owner happily said. " I will tell the chef later."

After he finished his breakfast, Ryu went outside to go to the adventurer's guild. He trying to remember the way to the guild while walking. After a few minutes of walk, he arrives at the guild.

"Hey, is that the newbie who defeat the Lion's Fang without using any weapon?"

"Him? Really?"

"Yes, it's him. I saw it with my eyes, he makes the Lion Fang gang fly with just one hit!"

"He looks tough with those muscles."

Many adventurers are murmuring and staring at Ryu. Some of the stories from the murmurs are exaggerating but Ryu already used by it back in his world.
