Karolo's POV
A bit later, I am now on my way to Darkhtan by train, and I am sitting at a table for four in a train car with aircon and comfy seats. Well, that ticket was cheap to me…Outside the window were green pastures and farm fields, seeing the wonders and simplicity of this world. "Wow…beautiful as nice…" I thought while looking at the view, "…I wonder what that place would look like though…"
And then, the train arrived at Darkhtan's train station, and upon seeing the sign on a wall in the station, I was thrilled and excited to get off and go into this new city I'll be exploring and going around.
And I did so after exiting the station and walking the streets of Darkhtan.
Darkhtan, according to my phone's encyclopedia app of this world, was one of Steein's largest cities, and it is the largest in the Province called Roque. It had numerous shops, taverns, and other interesting wonders and places. This included a special and partially fortified city center called Saint Minuri's Square. This, while walking within its perimeters, was the favorite place where Minuri Gataki, the saintess of fire crystals, frequented when she was still alive. Seeing that, I was mesmerized by its charm, which includes a fountain in the center and stands that sold food, drinks, and lightweight and diverse goods surrounding it. The square was very lively, busy, and vibrant, to be honest…

But disaster, which was currently happening in Steein's southern and western regions, was just a few days away from striking Darkhtan. But what was it? A war? An invasion by another nation? Or anything else worse or milder than these two?
