Black Ball
Chapters 1. Part 3

An hour passed, until finally, the adventurers who took the scales and other parts that could be used from the body of the big lizard, finished.

The sun is starting to fall in the west direction, we should reach the city when the night is not too dark..

“We leave,” Benito said as he passed the horse-drawn carriage we were riding.

I just nodded.

Nazdia opened her eyes, looking at me for a moment. In fact, he who had since looked calm, this time looked quite sad.

“You okay?” ask Nazdia to me.

I don't know.

I chose to be quiet, and then looked up at the sky. For some reason just by looking at it, the sky in this world is enough to make me feel a little comfortable.

Facing two beautiful girls honestly made me feel uncomfortable. Even in my real world, I have never faced a beautiful girl.

No, maybe I just didn't realize it.

The horse carriage began to walk.

“We stopped by Zazki's house for a while huh?” I said to the coachman sitting at the front of the horse-drawn carriage.

“Understanding, sir.”

I sighed once more, thinking about seeing Zazki's two younger brothers see her brother one last time. I might cry for the third time.

***

The sky had already turned dark, as we looked at the defensive walls of Lorisa City. The wall is about 10 meters high surrounding the city.

As a city directly opposite the Black Forest, Lorisa City was a city that was very prone to being attacked by monsters. That is why a great wall was built.

There were two guards in front of the city gate. Seeing our arrival, they just bowed their heads.

I think the news of Zazki's death is widespread.

As we entered the city, rows of houses made of wood and stone decorated the streets of the city. The headlights of the house that came from magic stone, shone quite brightly.

In contrast to my original world that almost all everyday equipment uses electricity, in this world it is replaced with magic stones.

I wonder where this magic stone came from.

A while passed, the train we were riding on, stopped in front of a house. Two little girls stood in front of the door, their faces looking worried.

I, Nazdia and Anifsa got off the horse-drawn carriage.

The two girls were holding each other. The originally worried face turned fearful.

"Ka..kak..," said Lizfa - the name of the little girl who was taller - stammered, she covered her mouth with one of her hands, her head twitching in search of someone who did not appear.

"Sorry.." I replied slowly, I bowed my head.

As if realizing something was on the horse carriage, Lizfa pulled her sister up on the horse carriage. Even just looking at the huge sword lying beside the silhouette of the cloth-covered body, he knew very well what it all meant.

"Well... sister?" Lizfa walked slowly until she could touch the cloth that covered the silhouette of one's body.

"Where's my brother?" Linda, Lizfa's little sister, finally asked, confused by her brother's behavior.

Lifza opened the face-covering cloth in front of her slowly, her hands shaking.

“Kakak...,” screams Lizfa when he saw the face of his brother who was stiff and cold. She hugged her brother tightly.

Linda, who is about 6 years old, joined in crying to see her sister crying.

I turned my face to stare at the quiet streets, unable to see the two little girls crying.

While Anifsa climbed into the horse carriage, then hugged the two of them from behind. He was indeed closest to them among the three of us.

“Why did sister leave us so soon?” Lizfa rubbed her eyes, trying to wipe away her tears, but her tears kept coming out incessantly.

Some of the people who were walking, stopped, looked curious about what was going on and started whispering

They bowed their heads as our eyes met, then continued on their way.

Finally, Lizfa got off the horse carriage, she still rubbed her eyes. While Linda hugged Anifsa's body tightly.

“I will accompany them both,” Anifsa said as the three of them stood before us. “You guys just continue delivering Zazki.” body

“I understand.”

Although Anifsa has her own house, she often stays at Zazki's house. As Zazki said, there was an empty room in his house. Actually Anifsa could have stayed with them.

While Nazdia and I used to stay at the inn near the adventurer guild. Fortunately, the adventurer guild provided lodging for adventurers at affordable prices, plus there were discounts for gold-ranked adventurers.

Although always moving, the costs incurred for housing, arguably still very cheap.

If Zazki and Anifsa were not given a house for free by the residents of this city, surely they would still stay at the lodging provided by the adventurer guild.

"One more thing, if you're pleased, can you come here after this again?"

"Of course." There's a lot we have to discuss anyway.

"Well, then we'll prepare dinner too."

Nazdia and I continued on, but this time Nazdia sat by my side, while her shield, helmet and spear were placed in front of her.

I realized something.

"What about Zazki's great sword?"

I recalled the memory of that great sword, a sword that always accompanied Zazki's journey as a gold-ranked adventurer, it was impossible to leave it alone.

I also remember, the sword was bought by Zazki at a fairly expensive price, about 50 gold coins or if the money was used for daily necessities such as for eating and staying, he said, it can last up to 10 years in this world.

Ah, with that kind of money I could probably buy a new phone and a new computer.

"You're right, what should we do?" nazdia asked me to break my daydream.

"I think we should take her, we better discuss it with her two sisters again."

"All right."

I almost mixed up life in this world and in my real world.

But it's true, in my real world I've always wanted the latest computers and cell phones, but my mama always forbid. If I think about it again, I ask it most also just for playing games. Maybe that's why my mom banned it.

I sniffed the message.

Compared to Rizkal, it seemed like there was something he wanted to buy lately. He wanted to add top-tier magic to unlock his magic. Let me remember, one top-tier magic requires about 25 gold coins. Otherwise one of the great ice spear magic, it was classified into top-tier magic.

So expensive.

That said, two top-tier magicians could buy a sword belonging to Zazki that looked very strong and cool. Perhaps that was also the reason why there were fewer magic book users in this world than swordsmen.

But if you think about it again, buying a tool to increase the chances of living in this world, sounds very reasonable. After all if we die in this world, everything we have will disappear, gold coins, weapons, families, everything disappears. As long as we live now, it's better than not having a single gold coin.

Alright, if there is any time I want to add top-tier magic to my magic book.

As long as it is used to buy something useful, I don't think it's a problem. But buying a new computer and cell phone just to play games, is it really needed?

Now I remember how many gold coins Rizkal had collected, 30 gold coins huh. It's okay, there are still 5 gold coins left.

I looked at the sky again. The sky was clear with no visible clouds. The moon and stars are also visible.

This is probably the first time I've thought about a lot of things. I wouldn't have thought I could live this hard life. Every day we are faced with death.

It is so far away compared to my life in the real world. Daily just scroll the screen on social media applications was not a problem at all.

Again, I send a message.
