Suki looked up, and shrugged at Umichi, "what's not to smile about? I'm half way to level five, we didn't die today, I can now mix potions so I'm going to try mixing health potions, and I've meet some great people, which wouldn't have happened if you hadn't made me a damsel" she said with a laugh. She went to untie her hair, then thought better of it, since they were going to another town and needed her hair away from her face.
As Umichi sent the message to everyone, Suki opened her guide book, flipping to the towns in the first floor. It seemed the next town was called Gonike, but that was all that was in the guide book. So they would have to see for themselves what was there. She closed the book, looking up when Umichi smiled at her and suggested to restock. She nodded, returning his smile. 

She glanced about, noticing that the town was indeed becoming more and more crowded as people started to get themselves together and head over to this town, probably wanting to feel as if they were doing something. Without thinking about it, Suki linked her arm through Umichi's so they wouldn't get seperated from each other. She started to walk, going to a NPC merchant, she began to sell a few drops and other items, accumulating 2.4k overall. She brought a few health potions, and asked a NPC alchemist how to go about making health potions. She was told that she would have to undertake a quest avaliable from any NPC alchemist to receive that information, and she decided she would undertake that in the next town. She thanked the NPC, being polite.

She waited for Umichi to be finished, glancing to the time. As they shopped, and restocked, they had passed the time, so Suki led the way to the front of the village. She saw Yumi approaching them, but didn't see anyone else. She looked around for Haname, but couldn't see her. Perhaps Haname would make her own way to the next town. Suki hoped so. 

She shrugged to Umichi and Yumi, saying "well, shall we head out?" It was just 1612. She waited for a reply, doing a quick check of her inventory to make sure she had all she needed. She glanced to Umichi, because he had seemed to have adapted a leadership role. When he said to start off, she did so. 

"I don't think we should all be close, the game might send us a lot of monsters. If we space out, we can just fight whatever strays come are way each" she said bright, as yet started to walk. "Umichi can be in the middle, since he seems the best. That way, if either of us get in trouble, he can help us" Suki had no delusions that she was the weakest link between the three of them. Yet she was going to try her hardest. 
As they started to the Gonike, spreading out, Suki paid attention to her surroundings, but her thoughts were with her brothers and father. She wondered how they were faring. She wanted to know if they were okay. She looked to the side, catching sight of Unichi. She glanced away quickly, blushing to herself. She attacked a boar that got too close, and continued walking. 

They didn't have too much trouble with the monsters, soon reaching the town at 1835. Suki found herself exhausted. It had been a long, demanding day. She was also starving, and that made her think about learning some cooking skills, which might help her alchmency she thought. As thy entered the safe zone, Suki untied her hair, sending the ribbon to her inventory. She had collected around 200 col from killing boar, so the first restaurant she saw, she pulled Umichi and Yumi into it, buying them all dinner. The food was cheap, but delicious. Suki suspected it was cheap because there was no competition get, given that no players would be at the same level as the NPCs. 

They then went to an inn, securing a room each. Not many players had yet to make their way to Tolbana yet. By then, it was 1930, so Suki suggested having a drink, going to buy them all, saying to them both "There should be something that can give everyone hope" 

"I'm sorry" The NPC bartender said, "I couldn't help but over hear. Its my daughters birthday today, and I would like to give her a wonderful birthday. I have a job for you. I have recently heard of 'fireworks' a magical substance that makes the night sky light up. If you can get me required ingredient, I would gladly give you some. I believe I have heard that you can get the ingredient from a multicoloured Nepent"

She turned to Umichi and Yumi, shrugging, "What do you say?" She asked them both, smiling.
