Chapter 306: Meeting Old Acquaintances [Part 1]

Cillin and Wheeze didn’t stay by lakeside. Instead, they took a school bus and traveled to another area. All the hotels and the acmodations were fully booked, and it wasn’t hard to imagine that the locals would drive a hard bargain with anyone who wished to rent a room at their place. However, Cillin had no intentions of renting a room. He and Wheeze were perfectly fine with sleeping on a wooden chair at the plaza if there was no better alternative.

They lay down at a small park inside the institute after grabbing some food. In fact, Wheeze probably preferred this spot pared to a warm bed because it spent the whole night rolling across the grass and catching bugs as snacks. Cillin simply ignored it and shut his eyes.

The next day morning, the weather turned out to be pretty fantastic. Cillin had arrived at his next planned destination, a book store.

An institute’s bookstore could reveal insights to its ethos and foundations.

The library was open to the public, but Cillin didn’t mind that. If his goal was to hunt down some rare books, he could do this easily at the RAS’ storeroom or database. No, he just wanted to check out San Calombo’s style so he could choose a presentation topic that was suitable for them.

It was early in the morning, but some students were already sitting at tables and reading quietly. They didn’t look like nobles, meaning that they had to invest more time and effort to achieve the goals.

Cillin looked at the books on the bookshelves. There were plenty of e-books out there, but the process of flipping a physical book and reading it impresses on the memory more. It was why a lot of people preferred to pen down notes while they were reading a textbook, for example. Not everyone had a memory like Cillin, so they had to use a process like this to strengthen their memory.

Cillin looked over all the books on the book shelves and formed a rough idea about their style. Then, he chose a book that described the culture of the locals, walked to the reading area and read it.

Of course, reading the book wasn’t everything he did. He also observed the books the students were reading and asked them about it. Since everyone thought that Cillin was also a San Calombo student, they traded plaints about the institute in general and answered some of his questions.

About three hours later, it was almost lunch time. Cillin bought a book and exited the bookstore. He then called out to Wheeze—who was on a tree playing with a sparrow—and left the place.

Some time later, he stopped at a restaurant who seemed rather popular with students and ate his lunch. It wasn’t the most popular restaurant around, but they didn’t forbid pets.

Most of the waiters and waitresses were students, not robots. A considerate girl about seventeen to eighteen years old handed him a menu and placed a chair that was specifically designed for pets right next to his.

Cillin ordered fisk steak, fish biscuits and seafood porridge for Wheeze. The fish steak was apparently one of the student’s favorites.

Thud!

Suddenly, a piece of fish steak landed inside a young man’s bowl. He was boasting about something when the surprise caused him to jump in his seat.

There were eight people of both genders sitting at that table. The young man was red-faced because he felt like he was humiliated in front of his fellow female students, so he shouted,

“Who?! Who was it who threw fish steak into my bowl?!!!” He stood up and looked around, but no one paid any attention to him. There were many customers who ordered fish steaks including a couple of children, so it was impossible to tell who did it.
