We finally reached Holt, the grocer's hamlet--part of the Malkuth
Empire. What a dirty, boring place.
But it looks like they don't call it the grocer's hamlet for nothing. I
saw a really good-looking apple while I was walking, so I picked it up and
took a bite, but all of a sudden this guy started yelling at me to pay him.
We've had merchants at the mansion before, and I never had to pay anything,
so I didn't know what the heck was going on. I gave him some money anyway,
to shut him up. I guess you always have to do this when you buy something...
What a pain.
Afterwards, we headed to the inn, where people were talking about food
getting stolen. All of a sudden they started accusing me and took me to see
Rose, the village leader.
There was this four-eyed guy named Emrls from the Malkuth army at Rose's
place, and he saw right away that I wasn't the food thief. Then Fon Master
Sion from the Order of Sol came in and said that some monsters called
cheagles were responsible, so they finally let me go. I'm still pretty mad,
though. I thought Sion was missing--what's he doing here? I wanted to ask him
about a lot of stuff, but we decided to stay at the inn for the night.
We met this kid at the inn who said she was looking for Sion. Kitten said the
girl's a Fon Master Guardian. A kid protecting a kid, huh? Anyway, I'm really
tired. Time to get some sleep.
Kitten said we'd head for the border tomorrow, but all that business about
being called a thief really made me mad, so I decided to go to the Cheagle
Woods to set things straight once and for all. What do I care if Kitten
objects? Tomorrow I'll go to the cheagles' nest in the northern forest and
tear them apart!
