The journey to Halsdorwen was very mundane and nothing special happened. They just needed to cross one small forest and a grassland to reach it and it only took them a whole day. Other than a few very low level wolves, nothing became an obstacle in their journey too.

Actually as this world's elves were not adverse to the robbery and things like that so Elena was really expecting one or two bandit groups to attack, but unfortunately or fortunately depending on the person, nothing like that happened. Elena was extremely disappointed about it.

If a bandit group attacked them then a lot of problems could be solved easily. They would get a good source of information and also funds. Currently Elena's group did have some money but that amount was just barely enough. More funds would always be appreciated.

But bandits not attacking them made some sense. Explorers were quite strong, so bandits tended to avoid places filled with them. For that reason, the area around the Bouhou village did not have many bandits.

...

After reaching Halsdorwen city, Elena booked an inn immediately. They did have some money but the tickets for a flying magic ship were very expensive, so they did not go to the expensive inns and instead found a decent mid range inn to stay.

They were not sure how many days they needed to stay in this city so they booked the rooms for one day and told the innkeeper that they might extend the stay for a few more days. Then the three of them went to the Airport where flying magic ships normally landed.

They went there to inquire about the next available ship which had a stop at Nigur. To their disappointment they got the news that the last ship to Nigur had left just one day ago and they needed to wait for six more days to take the next ship.

That was not too disappointing as the girls were not in a hurry and for the next six days, they would be able to sightsee in this city. So they booked the tickets for the next flight and went out of the airport.

...

Everyone was very glad that they did not choose a more expensive inn to stay. Just the price of the flying ship tickets for three was 1 and a half yellow gemstones which immediately destroyed one fourth of their funds. Eldriana and Dalia knew that this was actually the normal price for a ship journey of that length but still losing so much hard earned money at once was still very painful.

So to lift their mood a bit, Elena, Eldriana and Dalia went to a well reputed restaurant to have a nice meal. The food culture of this world was quite well developed as even the higher level individuals regularly ate here. For the elves living in this world, utilising the nature as their food source was the proper cycle of life and they had no reason to not eat good food.

The girls were unable to taste the truly delicious foods in the remote village of Bouhou and only after coming to the city, they were able to understand how much better the foods of this world were if compared to RASHTROYNI. Not only that but these foods were specially created by the elves, for the elves targeting their own palette, so it was something that both Dalia and Eldriana loved immediately. As for Elena, she liked all kinds of food no matter if it was for elves or for humans, so obviously she also loved it and her affection for this world had a huge boost because of this.

The foods that they ordered were nothing special and the restaurant where they were eating was also very commonplace. Elena just asked a fruit shopkeeper in the marketplace about a good restaurant after buying quite a lot of fruit from her and she happily recommended them a restaurant where she liked to eat if she was not in the mood to cook. And after entering this well reputed but simple and cheap restaurant, Elena and her sisters ordered a simple meat stew and bread. But even that simple food tasted amazing and the girls fell in love with it.

This restaurant also had the choice of desserts and the girls definitely needed to try it as big fans of sweet things. All three of them ordered different things and decided to share them with one another as their purse was still on a tight leash.

All the desserts of this restaurant were made using various fruits. The girl serving in the restaurant explained to them that the previous owner of this restaurant had a very big fruit garden at the outskirts of the city and he provided the restaurant with fruits on a daily basis.

Currently the shop was not very crowded so the server girl had some free time. So she came to chat with the three girls who also seemed to have a love for sweet things just like her. She told them many things like how the current owner of this restaurant was the previous owner's daughter who was also her mother and how her father was a rank 3 explorer.

After having a pleasant chat with her, Elena suddenly asked her if she could buy some fruits from her grandfather. Hearing that question she cheerfully said that if she went with them to coax her grandpa then he would most likely give in. Then when Elena asked her for her assistance, she happily agreed with the price of getting a never before seen sweet treat from Elena.

...

The next day, Elena and the girls went to the outskirts of the city with the restaurant girl named Monika. Elena had talked with her mother and had gotten her permission before bringing her out. Dalia thanked her with a high quality potion too and the girls were quite strong and looked like good people. So she agreed.

Monika did not get many chances to go out to have fun, so she was super happy. Her blonde twintails were jumping around in joy as she skipped along the way. Very soon, they reached in front of a house that was surrounded by high wooden walls. Not only were the walls high but they were also enchanted by several powerful magic spells.

Monika happily knocked on the door and after some time a handsome elvin gentleman opened the door. As soon as Eldriana saw him, she tensed up. So far she had not seen any elf stronger than her but that changed now. She could feel that this gentleman in front of her was quite a bit stronger than her.

The elf who came out noticed Eldriana tensing up but he did not give her any more attention other than an interested look. It was not common for a rank 3 to notice his true powers. But currently he had more important things to take care of. So, he looked at his granddaughter and gave her a gentle smile and said -

"Sweety Mona, what are you doing in grandfather's place. Do you want to play with me ?"

"Geez grandfather, I'm not a child anymore. I will soon turn 50 you know. I will soon be an adult."

"Hmph, 50 years is nothing and you're currently not even 50. So you're still a child to me."

Saying so he gently patted her head. Monika puffed out her cheeks in annoyance but did not stop her grandfather from patting her head and started to act spoiled. Then after some time she finally told him about her true intention for coming here.

After learning that the explorers behind his granddaughter were here for his fruits, he face turned sour in displeasure. But as it was his cute granddaughter's request he did not reject it and agreed to sell them some fruit. But he was definitely going to make the price extravagant to take revenge on the foolish explorers who were taking advantage of his granddaughter.

His man introduced himself as Hermes and invited everyone inside his house to take them to his orchard.
