Special Leave (3)

After parting ways with Commander Cyril and Commander Curtis, I returned to the dormitory for the time being.

In the end, it seemed that the only attendees at the so-called “Training Completion Celebration” Commander Curtis had planned would be the two of us.

Huh? Am I not popular?! I wondered, but Commander Cyril had another engagement, Fabian was leaving for his territory that afternoon, and Charlotte was a child, so I hadn’t invited her out at night... Everyone had a perfectly good reason, so I reassured myself that it had nothing to do with my popularity.

It was only a little past noon, so I arranged to meet Commander Curtis that evening and decided to go shopping by myself in the afternoon.

Since I was setting out tomorrow on a journey that would last more than three weeks, I realized I needed to buy various things today.

I quickly changed into clothes suitable for going out and headed into town.

As the royal capital of the great Kingdom of Nav, one of the two greatest powers on the continent, it had every kind of thing imaginable.

I found everything I saw fascinating and decided to browse the shops one by one.

I had resolved not to buy too much, since I could take only a limited amount with me on the journey, yet useless things kept piling up one after another.
