Chapter Seventy-Six: The Village and the Hotel

On the trail, the three of Roland walked and chatted.

"Captain, do I need to put on a cloak?" Xiao Yu touched her cat's ears and said with some concern.

"It's okay, you don't have to wear it yet," Roland shook his head, and continued, "If the inhabitants here can't accept it, after all, it's not comfortable to wear that, right?" ”

"Well," Xiao Yu nodded slightly, "the ears will be very uncomfortable." ”

"Then you don't have to wear it," Roland continued, "you have to be confident, don't care too much about the attitude of others, and if they dare to do anything to you, I will stop them." ”

"Thank you, Captain," Xiao Yu smiled slightly.

"Anyway, this trail is really long, I've been walking for so long, and I can't see the end in sight," Mei Lin also spoke, a little surprised.

"Indeed," Roland nodded, "and, besides, it's all paved with stone bricks, and it may be a bustling town or even a big city ahead." ”

"Really? I'm looking forward to it! Merlin chuckled as she spoke, Roland gave her pocket money for the first time, and she really wished she could find a place to shop!

……

I walked for a while.

"Looks like you've reached the exit?" The front suddenly brightened, and Roland couldn't help but speak.

"Has it finally arrived?!" Mei Lin and Xiao Yu cheered and ran forward.

"Really, as for being so excited?" Roland shook his head lightly and chased after him as well.

Soon, the three of them walked out of the forest.

Unlike the darkness of the forest, the outside of the forest is very bright, and you can feel the warm sun on your body, very warm, but not scorching.

Looking around, Roland had to admit that the scenery ahead was indeed beautiful, but it was a little different from what he imagined, this was not a bustling town, but an idyllic small village.

And the village is not big, so you can see the other side of the village from one side at a glance.

There are few houses and not many pedestrians to be seen, but the pale white flowers bloom everywhere and there is a faint fragrance in the air, which is very pleasant.

In addition, although the house is not large, it is a fine cottage made of brick and stone, which is different from the wooden house in Merlin's hometown.

"I don't think there's a place to buy anything......" Merlin said with some loss, but before Roland could say anything to comfort her, she grinned, "But, what a beautiful place!" ”

"Really, it's such a quiet place, completely different from the kingdom......" Xiaoyu also sighed softly.

"Alright, don't sigh yet, let's go to the village," Roland also spoke, and walked forward.

"Hmm!" Merlin and the others replied loudly and followed.

At the beginning, the doors of the houses were closed, and there were no signs, so they should be ordinary residential houses.

And the people he met on the way, although they were a little curious about Xiao Yu's situation, were not as extreme as the people in the Goya Kingdom, and they did not cast strange eyes at Xiao Yu.

Perhaps, this island also once had a Devil Fruit ability? Roland didn't think much about it, anyway, it would be good if he didn't come to hinder Xiaoyu.

Later, after walking some distance, Roland and the others saw a house with a sign that read "Maria's Inn".

The house is noticeably larger than the other houses around, and it may be a nice place to see a lot of people coming and going.

There was no other place to choose, and the trio went straight inside the hostel.

Sure enough, there was not only accommodation inside, but also a place to sell food, but, strangely, there were many people coming in and out, but the tables in the hall were almost empty.

"Isn't it delicious here?" Roland subconsciously thought, but after looking closely, he realized that he had misunderstood, because there were a lot of people lined up at the place where things were sold.

Moreover, two of the people in the queue looked a little familiar...... It's Merlin and Xiaoyu......

"Why did you just start queuing?! Didn't you just come in? Roland was a little speechless.

"Captain, the stuff here smells delicious!" Xiao Yu said excitedly.

By the way, probably because of the influence of the Devil Fruit, her sense of smell is a little more sensitive than that of the average person.

"Well, let's try it then," Roland smiled wryly and walked behind them, lining up as well.

Roland's plan was to wait until all three of them bought it before settling the bill, but how could Merlene, who had just gotten her pocket money, still ask Roland to pay?

After buying her own food, she directly took out the Berry that Roland had given her, stood aside and waited, intending to wait for Roland to finish buying it and then settle the bill.

However, maybe she hadn't touched the money for too long, or maybe she was too excited, and she accidentally dropped the stack of money in her hand to the ground......

It was money that was simply stacked together, and once it fell, it would naturally fall apart......

Although no one stole it, with Xiaoyu's help, the money returned to Mei Lin a lot, but by the time they finished picking it up, Roland had already paid the money.

Merlin felt a little disappointed, but she didn't say anything, and after putting the money back in her pocket, she took the food she had just bought, and walked towards the door.

Why is it towards the door?

This was also the question that Roland had just wondered, but now it was finally answered, and it was told to him by the owner who sold the goods.

Because there is a beautiful flower field nearby, and at the border between the flower field and the village, the villagers have made many benches where people can sit and enjoy the scenery while eating.

In order to meet this demand, the lunch at this hotel is a special bento food, which can be bought and taken there to eat.

Of course, there is no need for tickets or anything like that to visit there, which can be said to be very conscientious, anyway, Roland is very satisfied and looking forward to it.
