“Stingy”

When he saw J. Pearlman's message, Kieran instantly gave a reply due to his curiosity.

...

2567: Address?

J. Pearlman: How about Harvest Inn? Or wherever you prefer.

2567: Harvest Inn then.

J. Pearlman: I'll be right there.

...

Kieran had a limited understanding of the big city, so compared to choosing an unfamiliar place, he decided that he might as well meet at the usual Harvest Inn.

The train was traveling as fast as usual, and there weren't the slightest bumps throughout the journey either.

When Kieran alighted from the train and entered Harvest Inn, he saw that J. Pearlman was already there in the corner, waving at him.

"Here," said J. Pearlman.

"Sorry that I'm late," Kieran said politely while scanning the inn.

He didn't see anyone else with J. Pearlman though, not even someone that looked like a smither or swordsmith in this place.
