I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 56: Commotion

"T-This is… refreshing."

Angus feeling the carbonated sensation in his throat combine with the cold temperature of the drink, He feels a kind of Euphoria that he has forgotten before.

'This is worth more than being 10 copper coins. But, I guess 10 copper coins itself already expensive for a drink since it is around with the alcoholic beer.' Thought Angus while he enjoys the sweet cold drinks alone.

No one is bothering him and mind their own business. Fortunately, Angus wears his casual clothes and he looks like a normal commoner rather than looks like a noble.

After a while he hears a commotion outside, from what he picked up from nearby it seems a noble of the kingdom comes to this area.

'What kind of stupid noble trying to come here with their nobles clothes. Luckily I don't like to wear noble's clothes. So, I didn't get a hassle when coming to this place in a hurry. Wait… that's Vergil.'? as Angus saw Vergil along with a few guards through the shop window.

'From all of the place at the capital, how could he guess me that I am here? Hmm… That man beside him is looking in this direction. I see so that man is the one that leads him.' as Angus understands how his brother found him.

Since Angus is already being discovered, Angus immediately goes outside and meets with his brother that seems to outplace in this location. While Angus goes out of the drinking tavern, Vergils seems to talk with the guy beside him.

"Are you sure he is near here?" asked Vergil.

Before the man answered Vergil's question, "Yo, brother Vergil." called Angus casually.

"Angus!! I finally found you!" exclaimed Vergil loudly that make the passerby focus on Angus.

"Geez… Brother, why you are here?" asked Angus lazily.

"It is me that should ask you why you are here? Also, did you just come out from the drinking tavern? Bla… Bla… Bla..." as Vergil keeps nagging towards Angus non-stop.

After few moments of clarification, Angus now understands the gist of Vergil's current situation. To looking for Angus who could be anywhere, he hired a man that specialized in looking for a person through the guild.

Guilds in Firuman is not only has a job to hunt and sell monster corpse but they also often doing some miscellaneous job such as searching people, pet, painting wall, etc. to the more dangerous job such as assassinating, bandit extermination, monster hunting, etc.

By using the man from the guild, Vergil finally could locate Angus despite him on the opposite part of the city with the townhouse manor.

"Since you are finally being found and safe, we should go back now." as Vergil signs the contract for the mission completion with the guild member.

"Ehh… back already. Come on brother, it's the first time I have been outside. Can we just touring the capital city for a bit?" asked Angus as he didn't want to back to his townhouse now.

'There's no way I will go back to that annoying clingy old woman now.' thought Angus silently.

Hearing Angus's plea, Vergil as caring natured brother didn't have the heart to say no especially since Angus rarely asked anything of him.

"Alright but let's get out from here first. This part of the town is quite... unsafe." As Vergil notice few people already eyeing them in the back alley.

"Nah… That's not true. It's probably your clothes that attracted the others." said Angus casually while walking away.

'And whose fault is that? If I know you are in this part of the city, I will not also bring a lot of guards and wearing noble's clothes.' grumble Vergil silently.

"Wait, Angus. Where are you going?" Vergil follow his brother and didn't want him to escape again.

"Ohh… I found interesting merchants near here. You should see it yourself." as Angus brings his brother towards the auction merchants's area.

During the way, both of them attracted the passerby because of the guard that follows them and Vergil's clothes. Because it is getting more annoying, Angus decides to buy some normal-looking robes for his brother to cover his noble's clothes.

Although it is quite useless, at least it will make Vergil less attractive. As for the guards, they couldn't do anything since dismissing them also could bring some unwanted problem since some people already know that they are noble.

Soon, they arrive at the auction merchant. Vergil immediately notices the weird behavior of these merchants that display their products.

Some city guards could be seen patrolling around this place more often. Looking at the confused Vergil, Angus explains about all these auction merchants.

"I see so to not go home empty-handed, they sell their product in this way. Interesting, I never thought there is such a way to sell a product. Brother, did you also try to bid?" [Vergil]

"Yes, I try to bid for that bracelet." pointing Angus towards the swirl patterned bracelet.

Looking at the normal accessories bracelet that could be found anywhere, "Why did you choose that bracelet?" asked Vergil as he found nothing after inspecting it with [Mana Eye].

Knowing that his brother is never doing anything without a reason, he tries to find out about the bracelet.

"Well… I am just attracted to it. Anyway, since you want to go back already I will just buy out for it rather than waste any more time." [Angus]

'Ehh… attracted? that's unusual…' Thought Vergil while looking around for something that may be interesting.

Angus approaches the merchant and buys out the bracelet for 10 gold coins.

The merchant only gives some sly smile before immediately took away the gold coins and gives the bracelet away.

After getting the bracelet, Angus walks back to Vergil who is looking around trying to find something interesting.

"Find something interesting?" asked Angus

"Nah… Let's get out from here." replied Vergil.

Then, the two brothers get out from this location towards another part of the city. The capital city of Heart kingdom, Ashdun, is divided into many sections.

Angus's townhouse manor is located in the high-class section where the majority of its residents are nobles, wealthy merchants, and someone with high authority.

As for the location of where Angus escaped is the semi-slum-commoner section. In this section, you could all kinds of people be it adventurers, beggars, or various kinds of merchants.

This is the only section with a high crime rate and has few city guards patrols around. However, like in any world, there are also corrupted guards that sometimes turn to blind eyes at some crimes after receiving some 'gift'.

Moreover, this is also often the area where hidden organization doing their stuff. If their headquarter lay in the slum area, their working area is in this semi-slum-commoner section.

This is also the reason why Vergil's appearance could create a commotion before. For its residence, noble's is kind of eyesore and source of jealously.

If it's not because Vergil's guards keep the passerby away, who knows what kind of chaos he will bring in this area.

Although a noble's such as Vergil didn't need to worry since all the hidden organization never touch people from the high nobles but he could still get some misfortune if come to this section alone.

Leaving the sections, the two brothers arrive at the commercial sections where the majority of people doing their trade. Unlike the previous section, here people are more orderly and you could see more guards patrol around the area.

The shop that opens in this section also looks more luxurious and elegant than the previous section.

Arriving at this section, Angus finally broke his calm and behave like a kid of his age. He is so excited to found a lot of strange products on the shop's displays.

His curiosity comes in and makes him always want to try every single product he found. Still after found its function in these products, he will immediately lose interest and not gullible enough to buy all these products.

After touring and having fun with his brother for a while, Angus decides to rest at the nearby restaurant.

The restaurant looks like a western bar style on earth but more neat and clean. It also serves high-quality monster meat which is very rare.

Monster meat is not only hard to be procured but they are also hard to be cooked. The monster meat, especially the high-grade one contains a certain degree of miasma which is poisonous to any living being.

Up till now, only grade three bellow monster meat that is edible to eat with a certain method of cooking. This certain method of cooking is a special kind and must be tested by the kingdom for safety reasons.

A legal restaurant such as this also gets checked by the kingdom every month. They also must have a certified chef to cook the monster meat safely to open this kind of business.

Despite the dangers of being poisoned by miasma, monster meat has a lot of benefits. One of them is to boost the physical strength and mana in one body by a certain amount. Although it is only a small boost, it still valuable.

Few very rich people have the luxury of eating this monster meat for every meal. As the sons of the Duke, they also have the luxury to eat this monster meat occasionally.

But, they only eat grade one monster meat and never higher than that. The reason is that to safely cook grade two above monster meat need a various kind of hard skill that not everyone could do.

At this bar-style restaurant, they surprise to found that they now sell a grade two monster meat food. After inquiring more to the waiter, they were surprised at the answer.
