We took a break from searching more coffee beans and I politely ask Mr. Al for permission if we could try to eat of their exotic foods at the market place as we sat at the table inside of the inn as we were surrounded by noisy people, Mr. Al inspect and collected 6 small pouches of different coffee beans after visiting 6 stores place on top of the wooden table. Some other types that I don't recognize due to their colors and some are normal coffee beans.

He slightly nods and I tried to help him carry all the pouches but he stopped me with his hand stopping me from doing whatever was I about to do. He swoops the pouches away from the side of the table where people cannot see him and suddenly there was a small rift opening up and put all his pouches inside as they vanish one by one.

I don't know what it is but it is cool to look at.

"Spatial Space, a place where I can store my things," Mr. Al says as my thought of questioning about it went away with his quick answer. I complimented about it as we got up and exited the Inn and stepped outside. We roam around by the marketplace. At the booth, food caught my eye.

"Hey there young lass, want to buy our delicious Kalabi? It's only 2 Yuren each

"Hey there young lass, want to buy our delicious Kalabi? It's only 2 Yuren each."

A middle-aged man selling kalabi says. Kalabis are like Kebabs based on what they look but the fruits and vegetables look different and they are coated with unknown syrup.

Food is food, I can buy it for Mr. Al too.

"2 please," I said to the middle-aged man.

I opened my bag and was about to grab my wallet until I remembered that I don't have the currency here, but then I realized that Mr. Al has money.

"Mr. Al," I said to him facing up as he stands there spacing out while people pass us. He snapped out and look down at me with the blank expression.

"Can you lend me 4 Yurens, I don't have their currency here I'll pay you as soon as we get back" I politely said to him and he grabs a couple of silver coins in the front pocket of his pants and gave them to me.

"Thank you so much," I said to him as I turn around and face the middle-aged man again.

"4 Yuren total," He says as he hands out the 2 Kalabis to me. I paid him and I received it and thanked him. Mr. Al asked what I bought and I said it was Kalabi, I gave one to Mr. Al and he looks a little bit confused about the Kalabi Kebab Style. I took a bite as we walk on slow pacing.

It tasted good than what I expected it to be!

 Mr. Al curiously looks at me and take a bite of it, I can see his eye lit up, and eat more of it.

"Is it delicious?" I said to him and he nods in response.

I took the last bite and as I savor every flavor dancing in my tongue, someone bumps into me in the back. I turned around to see it was a little girl fell on the ground with her hair messy all over the place, wearing a wrinkled brown medieval dress and a couple of dirt stains.
