Gate huh, now that is an interesting magic, very convenient too.
"How much are you selling that magic stone?" I asked him, he looked at me with delight
"I will be giving this to you for free in one condition." He said
I knew it, there's no way he'll give that for free, even if he said it was junk
"State your condition then." I said as i waited for his response
"You see, I myself is a wandering trader from the Daeris Kingdom, as I am creating a trade route for every possible village is the great forest of Isaes. The condition is would you allow me to trade in your village?" He said with his hand on his chest as if he's a respected butler.
"Of course, you're very welcome to make a trade here in our village. Please, come inside." I said to welcome him to our village, his caravan was taken care by the elves in the gate.
He was led inside the village, his first thoughts is that this village is small, but as soon as he goes inside he sees the houses are not wooden but stone, some are log houses but most of it are stones.
He was so surprised that he said "Oh my" under his breath, but I was able to hear it.
We arrived to my house, we were in the living room, Thalia made us tea, we were able to find tea leaves inside the forest while we were hunting.
"These are?" The merchant said as the aroma of the tea passes into his nostrils, "The smell is so fragrant, may I know what this is?"
"It's leaves-" Before i was able to finish what I'm saying he froze
"L-Leaves you say?! You made me drink leaves?!" He said while a little frustrated
"E-Eh, It's tea leaves, it is not any common leaf from a tree this is different..." I said, he was totally worked up from this.
"I-I apologize. I got a little worked up." He said as he calms down and drink the rest of the tea.
"I'm quite impressed with this tea, It's not like any other beverages I've taken a taste so far." He puts down the cup and sat up like a gentleman, since he's wearing a fancy outfit fit for a noble.
"You wanted this magic stone, right?" He puts the stone on the table, "I will give you this stone in exchange for trade rights." He said in a formal manner.
"Of course, we will gladly accept the trading, it will be a benefit in our part also." I said
"I am very curious about these tea leaves you spoken of, I'll very much like to trade the tea leaves."
"Of course, we actually took the liberty to plant these leaves in our farms, which will be ready about next month." I explained to him.
"Oh splendid! I will wait the leaves next month." He said as he sips a cup of tea which Thalia poured again.
"You can count on it!" He slides the magic stone unto me and retrieved it to take a close look.
It's a shiny gray, it's glittering and transparent when its put in the sun rays outside.
"I almost forgot to introduce myself, I am Alfred Hornsmith, a merchant noble from Daeris Kingdom." He reaches out his hands and I grabbed for a handshake.
"I'm Takanashi Satou, you can call me Satou, I'm currently the village chief here." I shook his hands and exchanged information about the Daeris Kingdom.
-----------------------------------------
It was already sunset. the village has lit up with the torches around. Alfred is still here, he was fascinated by the handicrafts of the dwarves.
Meanwhile the elves are cooking a feast, seems like the wolves caught another one of those big boars in the forest.
They're roasting it in the pit and someone is making soup in the large pot.
Since I came here everyone is smiling, I'm glad.
"Master, It's a pleasant evening isn't it?" Scarlet came from behind me and whispered that to me.
"W-whoa there, I got surprised." I said as she smiles in a teasingly way
"Here, some herb tea." She hands me a cup of hot tea, It's surprisingly more fragrant than the tea we had been nurturing.
I took a sip and its like healing me, the warmth of the tea gushing down my throat and the warm feeling that I've never felt since coming to this world.
"Where did you find these herbs?" I asked her and she just happily sat down besides me
"Just there besides the trees, It's rare to see. It's called Rain root grass, which grows when It's raining, I'm lucky I found a bunch of it." She said happily
"I see, good work finding these kind of herbs." I said continued to sip the tea.
The sun has completely set and the villagers started eating, including Alfred who's with the dwarves and is drinking with them.
The night sky grew larger and vast, the bright stars in the sky has shone.
The moon also appeared bright as ever. The star constellations are different from whats on earth
I've never get tired from this view, the distance cheering and the fire crackling from the torches and the eerie silence from the forest, after coming to this world I thought I would be missing home. Good thing the people I've met are good people.
"Master! Master!" Suddenly I heard Scarlet calling me, I snapped out from my deep thoughts.
"Y-Yes, I'm sorry I was just lost in the stars up there.." I said, she hands me a plate of meat and a bowl of soup
"Here's the food master." She said and she sat down besides me, she's eating hers too. She surprisingly eats like a hungry wolf.
By the way, the wolves are more active at night so they're probably hunting again
I looked at the plate and a piece of meat was on it, a large portion, and a bowl of vegetable and meat soup, everything is meat. It's probably bad for their diet to eat only meat, I'll come up a plan about this.
"V-Village *burp* chief, the a-alcohol *burp* is g-good!" Alfred who's a respected gentleman earlier is really drunk now, he's holding a tankard with wine.
The wine was from the Dwarves, they have wine with them when they came here.
The night grew longer and It's already midnight, the elves got to their home to rest, I let Alfred sleep in the guest bedroom, but that's where Scarlet will be sleeping, currently there's only two bedrooms in my house, and now Scarlet will be sleeping in my bed and I'll be sleeping in the living room.
I carried her to the bedroom, she's really drunk. I removed her boots and lied her down on the bed when suddenly she grabs me
"Master~ stay here" She pulls me close to her and I can smell the alcohol on her body
"I-I'll be sleeping in the living room-" When I said that she pulled me into a kiss
A k-kiss! My first kiss!
"S-Scarlet! Wha-"
"Shh~ stay here master..."
Yea, I stayed.
