After changing my clothes into a more presentable one, a white shirt underneath an onyx vest and long black pants made from high-Level monster skin, I went to the commercial district with Milea.

Somehow, she clung to my right arm and pushed her soft, modest breasts. I could feel it through the fabric, the soft breasts I kneaded that night. And this sensation…

'She didn't wear a bra, huh?'

Earlier, when she showed her ass to me, I also noticed she didn't wear anything underneath.

"Hum hmm~" She was humming a rhyme happily, having a happy smile on her face. Raising her head, she looked at me and closed her eyes."I feel so safe now that Sir Paladin is on my side."

Milea had always been good at words among the nuns in my mansion. She knew how to manipulate people and might be the person with the closest personality to mine.

Maybe that was why I was comfortable and wanted to break her, erasing that cheeky smile on her face.

I felt a bit angry earlier, and I knew why. It was because Milea's cheekiness suddenly disappeared and turned into a disgusted look due to that stalker.

Only I could take her cheeky smile off her face.

"Sir Paladin, let's get some vegetables first! It's located at the end of the market."

"Alright, let's go there."

Milea pulled my hand and guided me. I wasn't familiar with this area. It was located a bit away from my mansion, at the opposite side from where the Royal Academy was.

As I walked through the bustling market area of Academy City, I couldn't help but notice the absence of students. It was morning on the third day of the month, and I guess they must be in their classes. But despite that, the market was still full of life and energy.

The streets were teeming with people from all walks of life. Merchants and vendors lined both sides of the cobblestone streets, selling a variety of goods, from fresh produce and meats to exotic spices and handmade crafts.

Vendors were a diverse group, each with their own unique style and flair, and they were all eager to attract customers with their impressive displays of goods.

The sounds of the bustling market filled the air - the clinking of coins, the rustling of merchandise, and the lively chatter of merchants and shoppers haggling over prices. The smells of fresh bread, roasting meats, and spices wafted through the air, creating a tantalizing aroma that was difficult to resist.

If I didn't have breakfast, I might be tempted to try the street food sold by those vendors.

I found myself drawn to the colorful displays of fruits and vegetables. The vibrant oranges, reds, and greens of the product caught my eye, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder at the variety of goods on offer.

The people in the market were just as diverse as the goods on display. There were knights in silver armor, commoners haggling for the best deal, and even Elves, Beastmen, and Dwarves flitting about, adding a touch of enchantment to the already lively atmosphere.

We stopped in front of the vendor, who displayed a variety of vegetable products. They all looked fresh, but I wasn't familiar with them.

"Mister, please pack this and this and this." Milea pointed at some vegetables after she released my arm.

Red leaves that looked like a cabbage, long blue flowers that looked like broccoli.

They were all foreign, but somehow their tastes were similar to those of vegetables on Earth. And I didn't judge by appearance, as I had survived eating worse in Horizon Online.

I would eat that meal as long as they were edible and delicious.

"Hahaha, young nun, are you shopping with your brother?" The vendor joked around as he put Milea's order inside a brown paper bag.

"He's not my brother but my master," Milea replied with a cute giggle, moving her hand lightly.

"Oh?" The old vendor raised his head, looking at me; his tone was joking. "I thought he was your older brother. Both of you have the same hair color."

"I am glad if you think that way, mister." She joked back.

While she chose the vegetables to buy and talked to the vendor, I looked around to find the stalker. Milea glanced at me, gesturing that she felt the unpleasant gaze that came from somewhere.

Heightening my senses, I tried to hear people talking in the distance. In this crowded situation, it would be difficult for me to even find the stalker. One, because I didn't know how his/her voice was. Second,…

"This morning, I have…"

"People are doing this!"

"Hey, isn't that the Paladin? He's shopping in this place?"

"Yeah, my girlfriend is so hot!"

"My boyfriend's dick is too small. He can't satisfy me."

Various kinds of voices rang loudly in my ear due to my heightened senses. Still, this was normal. I even survived being in a heightened sense for 3 days straight when I fought Ghost Marionette. And even if I didn't know who the stalker was, he was bound to follow us when we moved away.

"Thank you, mister!"

It seemed like Milea was done with the shopping too.

"Well then, Sir Paladin. Let's head to the butcher next."

"Yeah." I nodded at her, walking toward the butchery located a bit away from the stall.

The butchery had a shop set a hundred meters away from the vegetable vendor from earlier. The shop was simple, with various kinds of meats hanging on a hook on the ceiling.

Inside the shop was a man full of muscle with a scar across his arms and a sun tattoo on his forehead, chopping the meat in front of him with a cleaver. This was my first time seeing someone with a tattoo in this country. He looked like a hooligan who killed newbies back in Horizon Online.

"Hey, mister! Give me the usual meat!" Milea shouted and waved her hand toward the guy, and he raised his head to look in our direction.

"Haah?!" He raised his chin and looked down at me. But when he noticed Milea, who walked into the shop without any care, his gaze suddenly turned kind. "Oh, missy! Meat for the Paladin again, ey?"

"Yup! Master is also with me now, so give me a discount!" She replied with a cheeky smile, not afraid of the scary man.

"Oh? That's why he looks strong. His muscles are screaming and brimming with power!" The man laughed as he looked at me, sending a shiver to my spine.

That man was dangerous in more ways than one. His eyes looked at me strangely; I should be careful around him.

Anyway, after walking for a hundred meters, I found a certain someone who walked the same distance as us and stopped in an alley a bit away from us. That should be the stalker, as that person was the only one who moved and stopped unnaturally.

So while Milea was choosing the meat she wanted to buy, I stepped out of the butchery. Of course, Milea knew that I had walked away silently as she glanced at me every now and then.

'Let's see what this stalker wants with my nun.'
