"I will join you all okay" they nodded there head after eating there breakfast they went to the entrance of the village and saw Noelle and her brother Yuno standing there.
Midori was quite surprised after all yuno had rare talent among pheasants, so he is quite proud boy and usually don't hand out with village kids.
They all went to the city on foot after all it cost money to take a ride they are unwilling to spend money on anything wasteful.
Soon they reach the town Rina went to the guild to start her new life and sister Madea went to the town church, as for the four kids they went to the library.
Although it's called library, it don't have many books only few books donated by the state magistrates who pay great attention to the education and knowledge, he was also the one who had open academy for commoner like them.
Both Noelle and Midori can read few words since they had been taught by there parents and sister Madea before starting the academy officially.
The academy is in town, it cost 10 copper coin per month to go to academy the amount is not small or very large as long as people work hard little bit they will able to send there kids to academy.
But for the kids in shelter they can go academy for free, but only one kid can go in pecific age in other words there's no kids of Midori age in both village shelter or town shelter even if there are her magic efficiency is high enough to avoid giving a test.
So she can easily go but there are four kids in there shelter of age 7 but only one kid can go, so a test is taken whoever score the highest will be going to academy.
This test is done in both village and town shelter so lot of internal fight happened between both shelter in order to get there own shelter kid in the academy.
Among the kids who are of suitable age in there shelter only five kids who go to academy, from next month Midori will be going too.
Both Midori and noelle continue looking at the books, Nero was also ooking at the books or more precisely looking at the pictures drawn in the books.
But even after searching for two hours they didn't find anything related to the skull in the forest, so they decide to give up on search, since it was Nero first time in the town.
They decide to play around the town yuno had to tag along with them since he had been order by his grandfather to take care of her in the town.
Even though there kingdom is very friendly towards beastman, illegal human trafficking happened specially of beastman since slavery is banned in there kingdom.
Few brave individual kidnapped these beastman from the kingdom and sell them to the neighbouring kingdom where slavery is illegal, cause of this it's dangerous for Noelle to go anywhere alone.
Someone in the family had to accompany her, yuno also know about it that why even through he don't want to go as Noelle older brother it's his responsibility to protect her.
They went to the town market, there's are lot of street venders selling there goods and various diffrent food stall, the aroma of food make the four kids drool but they were sensible and didn't look at the food stall at all
In the end Midori was not able to steel herself and done up buying vegetables bun it cost 3 copper coin per bun, she brought two bun and give one to Nero.
Both yuno and Noelle had received 10 copper coin each and bun was cheap and they had money so they also brought one.
They look around while eating the bun in the end they stop infront of the stall that was selling small wooden pieces, Midori spend 6 copper coin to buy two wooden hairpin and give it to Nero.
Since she receive compensation money from her mother, she always had money on her, she usually don't spend those money she had been saving the money for past three years.
Currently her bank balance is 360 copper coin, so she spend money whoever she want Noelle also brought herself a hairpin.
Yuno brought himself a wooden toy to play with he's also only less then five year old, he can't resist the temtation of toys and all these things.
In the end they end up playing around another hour and went back to the village, they had long forgotten there real goal of going to the town.
