Gathering
After finishing registration, we wandered around the capital.
Since we had nothing else to do, we decided to look for a place for Kyle to stay while sightseeing. However, this was proving difficult.
Not only cheap inns, but even the high-class lodgings that only important people usually stay at seemed to be fully booked until the fighting tournament ended.
"It's pretty hard to find a place, huh?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect it to be this crowded."
As we walked through the streets, there were people everywhere.
There were food stalls selling snacks, as well as some shady merchants peddling suspicious wares.
Despite the crowds, it felt like a festival.
"Just mix this and your sweetheart will fall head over heels for you!"
"What, really? This isn't a love potion, is it? Hehe, with this I could..."
In front of one of those dubious shops, there was an idiot being lured in.
