Searching for the Magic Grimoire

I would also like to make out with Misha in her human form.
After all, we have been living together for 3 years already.
Lovers with bad compatibility would’ve already broken up, but the two of us are still living together until now.
[Well…. let’s make that one of our goals. Oh right, you take a look at my status as well.]
Oh right, I don’t know how strong Misha currently is.

So strong….
No wonder she was able to one hit K.O. the golem.
[The number (5) written behind the magic is the level of proficiency. It seems like  beginner level will be (1), and (5) seems to be the highest, Goshujinsama.]
…Well, let’s depend on Misha for the time being.

In order fill up our stomachs, I went down to the first floor of the inn together with Misha.
This inn comes with a dining hall. It is correct to say that their business includes serving as a restaurant instead of only as a inn.
[Nya~.]
Misha lets out a cry to keep up her appearances.
[Umm… Is fine to bring a cat into the dining hall?]
I asked the lady here who looked like a typical mother character.
[That child seems to be really obedient so it’s fine! However, if that child ate happened to eat another customer’s food, you’re paying for it.]
[I understand. I’ll make sure to be careful with her.]
Well, Misha would never do such a thing. In fact Misha is better behaved than children when inside a store.
Additional food can be ordered from the menu, but guests staying at the inn get pre-arranged meals. That’s because the inn fee is a flat rate. They’d be troubled if people ordered nothing but expensive stuff.
The dish I ate today is chicken and vegetable fried rice.
It’s similar to the chicken fried rice I’ve had in Japan, but the seasoning used quite different so the taste wasn’t the same.
[The nutritional balance is just about right! Gwaahaahaa!]
The proprietress is such a strong character.
She is the type of lady you would want to see when you are feeling depressed.
[And this is for the little kitty!]
Some roasted chicken meat was served on a small plate.
[Thank you very much for going out of your way to prepare this]
You can’t experience such conversation in a business hotel.
[Our customer’s pet is also like our house pet!]
The man in the kitchen also nodded his head silently.
I felt that the proprietress have already expressed whatever that man wanted to say.
Well then, it is wasteful just eating a meal.
This is a good opportunity to collect some information.
[Ma’am, I am a person transported from another world. Can you help me with information regarding this world?]
[Hahaha! Sure, sure! Today’s a special day so I will tell you for free!]
…I felt that such characters also appeared in the downtown of Tokyo.

First of all, I need to confirm the basics of the basics.
This city is Meire, the capital of the country of Gatoreddo.
It’s a big country with vast volumes of territory on the continent.
In addition, there are countries of elves and dwarves which are small countries, but war has never occurred.
Apparently, it seems that each species has their own country.
Next is the current situation of this continent.
Now, due to the revival of the Maou-sama (Demon King), there’s an increase of monsters.
The country coped with this by having a strong army of adventurers.
Those summoned from another world were viewed especially highly due to their high status.
There is even the appearance of [hero parties].
Most commoners did not face any dangerous situations, and the capital city of Meiru is an extremely peaceful place.
…This amount of information is already sufficient.
As if satisfied, Misha let out a cry.
I did feel I was extremely tired. I slept very well.
During the time when I slept, Misha climbed and settled down on my stomach.
She functioned as a natural hot water bottle.
—————————————————————-
The next day, before I headed for the adventurer’s guild, I searched for a store that sells grimoires.
As I expected, the proprietress naturally does not know anything regarding the sale of grimoires.
Then again, in Japan, if I asked [Where can I find a specialized bookstore that sells medical books?], most people would not be able to answer. This probably was the same thing here.
After searching for a long time, I finally found a shop in a small alley.
The cheapest item costs 20,000 coins. Multiplying it by ten times in order to convert it to the Japanese yen, it would cost 200,000 yen….
I asked the shop owner whether there are any books related to transformation magic.
[Those things are usually taught by the Grand Magicians. Actually, I do got something here.]
The shop owner took out a book after the explanation.
However, the price of that item is 1.2 million coins
Misha’s tail drooped down in disappointment.
I can’t buy this if I don’t earn more money.
————————————————————————–
The adventurer’s guild was surprisingly close to the shop earlier.
I opened the door to it and what greeted me was an interior bigger than what I had imagined.
The right area of the guild served as the reception area, while the left area functioned as a bar.
Because the guild also had an area to serve food, it really would be this wide. Instead of calling this place lively, I would think of it as noisy.
Misha is also looking around the guild.
Bringing a cat to a foreign place will cause the cat to be more alert.
Sometimes Misha would also show such cat-like reaction.
However, Misha probably was collecting information from this place to show such a reaction.

Furthest to the right is the counter to buy and sell items. Umm…the reception desk is over that side, I think?
Since there are no other customers, I was able to immediately speak to the receptionist.
Not even 20 years of age, the receptionist could still be called a young girl. Her long black hair left a deep impression. (E.D. Girl looks to be in her early 20s to me.)
[Hello. Is this the first time that you have visited the guild?]
She said so with her face full of smiles.
[As expected, you can tell.]
Because I genuinely look like an ordinary person.
[I would like to join the guild, but before that…can you please explain to me about the guild?]
