It has been 3 hours since we escape from that mysterious woman. I can finally command Fifir to take a break.

-Fifir, I think it's far enough. We can take a break now. (Farah)

-Woof. (Fifir)

All of my stuff like the clothes and food that I carried with me have been left when we ran away from the mysterious woman.

-I think we should sleep now. Otherwise, we will have no energy for tomorrow, Fifir. (Farah)

-Woof! (Fifir)

-Fifir, can you keep being in big form and let me hug while I'm sleeping? (Farah)

-Woof? (Fifir)

I go near Fifir and jump right into her fur.

-You are so warm, Fifir. Good night. (Farah)

-Woof! (Fifir)

-Hehe, I can have a good sleep like this. Can you also do nightguard tonight, Fifir? (Farah)

-Woof! (Fifir)

-Thank you, Fifir.

Thanks to Fifir, I can enjoy a peaceful sleep.

-Good morning, Fifir.(Farah)

-Woof!! (Fifir)

Both of our stomachs start growling.

-Fifir, are you hungry? (Farah)

-Woof...(Fifir)

-We should go to the capital soon. Luckily, I still have my wallet with me so we can eat many things in the capital. (Farah)

-Woof! (Fifir)

Both of us resume our journey and arrive at the capital of Ecrax, Elisora.

-Finally, we have arrived, Fifir. It's the capital of Ecrax. (Farah)

-Woof. (Fifir)

Fifir turns back into her small form, and we leisurely walk toward the city. After providing an identity card, we safely go inside the city.

-Woah, the city is so big! (Farah)

-Woof! (Fifir)

There are gigantic walls cover around the city. It's so high that I can't see the top of it.

-Let me check out the instruction in Hotaru's letter again. (Farah)

In the letter, Hotaru advises me to see the guard and ask for the knight captain, Yua. I tried walking to the nearest guard camp and ask for help:

-Excuse me? (Farah)

A beautiful female knight walks slowly to me and asks:

-What's the problem, little miss? (???)

-Etou, can you deliver this letter to miss Yua, the knight captain? (Farah)

-Heh, who sent this letter, miss? (???)

-It's from miss Hina. (Farah)

-Okay, let me see. (???)

The girl takes the letter from my hand and starts reading it.

-Eh, it's for knight captain Yua. (Farah)

-Uhm, I know. (???)

-So please don't open it. (Farah)

-Woof! (Fifir)

The girl grins and caresses my head:

-Because I'm Yua the knight captain. (Yua)

-Eh? (Farah)

Yua caresses my head while smiling at me.

-So Hina asks me to take care of you until she comes back. (Yua)

She bends down and carries me in her hand:

-Where did Hina get a cutie like you? (Yua)

-Me, cutie? (Farah)

Yua smiles at me:

-Is there anyone else besides you here? (Yua)

-Ehehe.(Farah)

-I met Hina in the Windvillage and I ask to become her disciple. (Farah)

-Is that so? (Yua)

-Yup. (Farah)

-How can I call you, adorable miss? (Yua)

-You can call me Farah. (Farah)

Yua tries poking at my cheek.

-Your cheek is extremely soft, Farah. (Yua)

-Moh! Why do people like to pinch my cheek that much? (Farah)

-It's incredibly soft and Puni Puni, you know. (Yua)

Yua carries me in her arm while showing me around the city.

-This is the adventure guild, if you continue walking ahead of you can reach the castle. (Yua)

I point at the place where are many high buildings.

-What are those buildings, Miss Yua? (Farah)

-Oh, it's the magic high school of Ecrax. It's where Ecrax can produce the finest mage. Your master used to go there.

-Hina went there in the past? (Farah)

-Yes, she was. Do you want to attend that school? As a disciple of Hina, I think you can easily pass. (Yua)

-Can I? (Farah)

-It's worth giving it a try, Farah.

Since we are hungry, Yua takes us to the restaurant nearby and has lunch. After that, she tells me she will take us to her home.

-Over here is my house, please feel like you are at home Farah. (Yua)

In front of me, it's an extremely spacious mansion. This mansion looks like belongs to some kind of noble. Yua puts me down and opens the door.

-Welcome to the tiny house of mine. We also have another person live with us. She's...(Yua)

A small girl comes down from the stairs, and she stares at me with a hostile look.

-This is...(Yua)

-Why do you bring a commoner here, Yua? (Aya)

-She is a friend of my acquaintance, Aya. She will stay with us for a long time. (Yua)

Aya keeps staring at me. I try starting the conversation with her:

-You are stink of commoner smell, please don't appear in front of me when I'm in this house. (Aya)

-Aya, don't be like that. Since Farah will attend magic school, you guys can be classmates. (Yua)

-Tchh, I don't want to stay in the same class with a commoner. (Aya)

After finishing the sentence, she leaves Yua and me behind.

-Woof! (Fifir)

-Sorry, Farah. Aya is not usually like this.

-Who is she, Yua? (Farah)

-She is the second princess of Ecrax's kingdom. (Yua)

-Eh, why is a princess staying here? (Farah)

-It's a long story. (Yua)

Yua scratches her head and notifies me:

-I will lead you to your room, Farah. (Yua)

Yua leads me to a room on the first floor.

-It looks considerably more spacious than the inn room. (Farah)

I only just realize I have no clothes for a change tonight. I instantly turn to Yua.

-Yua...(Farah)

-Yes? (Yua)

-Can I borrow some of your clothes? (Farah)

-Ehhh?(Yua)

-Some mysterious woman pursuing us so I have lost most of my stuff. (Farah)

-..It's tough for you, Farah... I will provide some clothes that you can wear.

-Thanks, Yua. (Farah)

-All right...(Yua)

Yua somehow finds some old clothes and gives them to me.

That night, a shadow is walking leisurely to the mansion that Farah is staying. On one hand of the shadow, there is a red thread:
