"Yes, it seems everyone has gone their separate ways..." Okawa looked melancholic but her expression brightened up a little. "Tell me child, have you been alone in your travels all this time? A region like this can't be safe for you... As many mages as there are in Paradice, the monsters that lurk in the wilder areas are of much concern," She says to Sarah in a worried tone.

"Then I can say with full confidence that I'll join you for your cause." Olivia stated matter-of-factly, turning to face Lilith with her eyes lighting up in awe. "Wow!! It looks even better than before!"

"Of course. Miss Okawa is proud of her craft. You've already paid, so feel free to just slip it on and go on your way." The demoness placed the chocolate frog into a small bag and handed it to the girl. "Come see us again, we'll be happy to repair it as many times as you need."

"Definitely! Thanks again." Olivia took the armored glove and lifted her cloak to wriggle it comfortably back onto her arm.
 
Sarah said "I actually have, but I had met a few people in my travels and was able to get some weapons to defend myself. I can't always sing to fight since it would take too long to attack and can get interrupted easily."

"Then, let set off to our travels to Shina Ania. Ah, my apologies." The man turned to Olivia. 

"My name is Elewa. I'm the King's Adviser. It's a pleasure to have you working with us." Elewa stated. "Our ride will appeared shortly." 

Elewa turns to Lilith. "Thank you for providing me an essential information regarding energies. It will surely help the King and his approach of combating such a terrible disease. The King will provide your shop his blessings with wonderful gifts in a matter of days."
 
"You poor thing, having to use weapons at your age..." Okawa rubbed Sarah's head with a slight frown. "You shouldn't be wandering on your own. Perhaps it would be safer for you to stay here or close by until you can hone your strength... a world like this is quite dangerous recently." She picked up a newspaper that currently was circulating around the town and held it up to Sarah. The front headline featured a moving picture of a town in a somewhat far away region in ruins after a mysterious man blasted it from the sky, reading PORT GRAHAM IN RUIN AFTER HEROES COMBAT MYSTERIOUS MAN. "I suggest you refrain from traveling long distances for now, Sarah. As for the woman you speak of, she's probably returned to the heavens where most beings like her are said to reside."

"And thank you for doing business with us. We will receive any gifts from your King with utmost gratitude." Lilith curtsied politely after bowing her head.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Olivia." Olivia smiled warmly. "Speaking of rides, how do you guys usually travel anyway? On horses and stuff?"
 
Sarah nodded in understanding. "I know Okawa. That's one of the reasons I came here, the other is to travel around. So, do you have any room here?"

Elewa bowed as well. “We’ll seek assistance of your shop again in the future.” Placing the book he’d purchased from the shop into his bag, Elewa walked outside. 

"While some places uses magic or technology as a means of transportation, we truly travel through the kindness of monsters that lend their strength to us." Elewa pointed towards the sky. A flying horse-like creature appeared. His body was white as snow, with wings similar to that of an answer. It's appearance shine through the sky as a star. It landed in front of Elewa and spread its wings in grace.

“These are called Pegasus”
 
"I practically live in this shop building... perhaps I'll let you have the loft up there if you wouldn't mind the small space it has," Okawa replied to Sarah. "Don't worry about Lilith there though. She tends to sleep during the day rather than the night, so she keeps an eye on the storefront while I sleep."

======

"Wow! For a monster, it looks like something out of the story books they write. Maybe that's because the word always carries such a dark context..." Olivia eyed the Pegasus with wonder. "I can't imagine what kinds of other creatures live in your homelands." She didn't know whether to approach it like any other animal she'd seen or not. 

"Uh... hi there..." Olivia greeted somewhat hesitantly.
 
Sarah nodded and asked "Do you have a violin here?"
 
The Pegasus presented itself in delight upon seeing Elewa. It spread it wings as Elewa pet around his head. When Olivia approached it, the Pegasus bow to her—it seems to be its way of greeting. 

“Don’t be alarmed. Pegasus aren’t hostile creatures. They are kind and give full respect for anyone. As long you do the same.” Elewa said.
 
"That's a negative. Instruments are hard to come by... especially enchanted ones, which would be something I'd sell." Okawa replied as she waved to Elewa and Olivia from inside her shop as a form of sending them off. "We aren't particularly busy right now. I could accompany you to Magician Square to see if we can find a merchant that would sell us a genuine one. It's the closest market I can think of."

============

"I'm more used to uh... tinier animals." Olivia nodded to him once and bowed her head in return, figuring it was the most polite reaction. "Like cats or bunnies, you know? Horses and big animals like that kinda make me nervous..."
