Otherworld Adventure 47 Metropolis, Angla City 1

In towns, you needed to leave your monster companions at ranches located outside the town. At cities however, all you needed to do was show some identification and the guards would give a collar to be put on your monster and let them in.

The collars acted as a sign that the monster in question was tame and had an owner. If your monster caused any problems in the city, then the guards would hold the owner responsible.

Of course a punishment would be in due course, but the punishment would only depend on how severe the offense was. The lightest punishment would only be a warning, while the harshest would be imprisonment.

When they arrived at the gate's checkpoint Cecil jumped down from atop Silver and showed his guild ID to the guards. The guards took a glance at the ID and brought out a small collar, handed it to Cecil and waved them in.

Cecil took a glance at the collar. It was small enough to be a bracelet.

With how small it was it didn't seem plausible to wrap the collar around Silver's neck, but the unique magic spell inside the collar would activate when it detected a monster's unique mana signature and it would expand or contract to match the size of the monster in question.

Cecil handed the collar to Lucia and she moved to wrap the collar around Silver.

"Grrr..." Silver let out a low growl, he was not pleased.

"Bear with it okay Silvy?" Lucia said while putting the collar on Silver.

Silver whined a bit, but he still let Lucia wrap the collar around his neck. If he didn't wear the collar then he would have to stay outside the city.

"Come on Silv, it's not like this is the first time you're wearing this!" Cecil said. After the collar was wrapped around Silver's neck, Cecil's group went into the city, but just before going through the gate, Cecil focused his eyes a bit and turned his gaze to the ramparts surrounding the city.

Cecil always did this because what he saw always astounded him. Through his eyes, magic crests of all size and color dotted the walls. It was awe-inspiring no matter how many times he's looked. Naturally, the crests were the magic spells that were used to reinforce the walls.

He deactivated his mana sight when they went into the pathway past the majestic gate that was gilded with gold and magic crystals.

It was a bit dark inside the pathway so when they finally pa.s.sed through the gate, Cecil had to raise his hand to block the sun's rays that shone brightly into his eyes.

When his vision finally adjusted, what came into his view was a majestically paved road with buildings made of bricks and cement lined on the sides.

On the sides of the road were sidewalks that had small trees planted on it. The trees were evenly s.p.a.ced apart and there were small bushes that filled in the s.p.a.ce in between.

The city was bustling with activity. On the road, Cecil could see wagons, carriages and even monsters moving along it.

While on the sidewalks, he could see stalls that were selling foods and many other different products. The people were bustling down the sidewalks walking and chattering about.

Added with the stall owners and peddlers constantly shouting and hawking their wares, it only added to the liveliness and boisterous atmosphere of the city.

This was the capital city of the Anglaria Kingdom, Angla City.

After taking a look around, Cecil smiled and jumped on top of Silver, seating himself right behind Lucia.

"Okay, first we'll go to the adventurer's guild and turn in our quest and the subjugation proofs!"

Cecil had to speak up loudly so that his voice wouldn't be drowned out by the bustling environment.

"Alright! You heard him Silvy, let's go!" Lucia pointed forwards and Silver started trotting down the road heading towards Angla City's adventurer guild.

On the road, Lucia kept on looking left and right. Cecil knew she was looking for anything of interest. If she found something interesting in one of the stalls, Lucia would immediately pester Cecil into buying it for her.

Most of the time it was only food, only rarely would she want Cecil to buy things like jewelry or clothes for her.

While Cecil was staring at Lucia, he saw that her gaze was fixed on one of the stalls. Her eyes were sparkling. Cecil turned his gaze towards the stall in question and he saw that they were selling meat skewers.

Cecil nudged at Silver's sides. Silver looked up and saw the sparkly eyed Lucia and turned his gaze to the stall as well.

Silver immediately went towards the stall and waited by the roadside. Lucia snapped out of her daze and immediately went red when they stopped by the stall she was gazing at earlier.

"Wait here Lulu, I'll go buy some. Which ones do you want, the spicy or the sweet flavored?"

"Thanks, Cel~ just buy either one!"

"Okay."

Cecil went to the stall owner and purchased 5 of each flavor.

He went back and gave Silver one spicy meat skewer before handing the rest to Lucia.

"Yay~! Thanks Cel!"

"You already said 'thanks' earlier."

"Ehehehe~"

Lucia then happily ate the skewers. Seeing that Cecil was lying down on top of Silver, Lucia turned back to him and offered him a spicy skewer.

"Here you go Cel! Say Ahhh~" Lucia happily said.

Cecil only took a glance at the skewer and opened his mouth for a bite. A crafty glint flashed in Lucia's eyes and she quickly retracted the skewer in her hand right as Cecil was about to bite down.

Cecil's face turned dark at her prank. Seeing him like that, Lucia immediately roared in laughter.

"Nahahahahaha~!"

"Tsk, if you're not gonna give me one. Then don't prank me!"

"Nahaha~ I'm just kidding Cel! Here, here. Say ahhh~"

Cecil narrowed his eyes cautiously at her gesture. Lucia saw this and said in displeasure.

"You don't want it? Fine then, don't eat it! Hmph!"

She turned her head and harrumphed. Seeing as she was starting to get mad at him, Cecil reluctantly said.

"Fine, fine."

Lucia's face immediately brightened.

"Say ahhhhh~ ahahahahaha!"

Lucia pulled away the skewer again just as Cecil was about to bite down. She turned around and said smugly.

"Hmph, you didn't want it so now I'm not giving you any!" She then nibbled on the skewer in her hand.

Cecil popped a vein at her antics.

He moved and locked Lucia in a tight hug from behind while his hand grabbed onto hers. He quickly guided Lucia's hand that was holding the skewer to his mouth and he bit down on the meat skewer. He took the meat into his mouth in one bite and chewed. He then turned a smug gaze toward Lucia.

Lucia was nibbling happily on the meat so she was caught by surprise when Cecil started hugging her from behind. She was happy with the hug, thinking that Cecil was trying to coax her into giving him a skewer.

So, she was late to react when the meat she was nibbling on was suddenly eaten by Cecil. She looked at Cecil's mouth then towards the skewer she was holding. Her face immediately started blus.h.i.+ng red in embarra.s.sment.

'I-i-in... Indirect kiss!!!'

She sat there frozen at the thought. Her thoughts were in a scramble, but she was nonetheless happy since she was smiling stupidly with her face red.

Cecil didn't pay her expression any mind and finished the skewer in Lucia's hand. When he was done, he let go of Lucia and went back to lie down on Silver's back.

Seeing the empty skewer in her hand, Lucia's red face darkened.

"CECIL! MY SKEWER!"

"Haha! Your fault, not mine! Hurry up and finish the rest so we can be on our way!"

Lucia moved a bit away from Cecil while protecting the rest of her skewers. She began nibbling on them with relish while making sure she kept a close vigilant eye to Cecil.

Cecil only chuckled at her cautiousness and he closed his eyes while he began concentrating on the mana cores in his eyes.

Even when they were on a break, he would never neglect his training.
