[City of Anvil]

After buying the flowers, Asagi and hero Sato then in turn begun exploring the city in honest of their own will. While they were exploring, they became quite surprised at the fact that there is no such thing as slum in this city, but rather a well governed populated city of dreams.

The absence of hardship in this city, only dictates that the governance was right and people en masse were benefiting for it. This is something that Asagi was shocked about. After all even on earth, it was quite hard for such thing to be accomplished, but here it was quite possible.

Good governance refers to the process of decision-making and implementation by authorities, which is transparent, accountable, participatory, responsive to the needs of the people, and follows the rule of law. It involves effective management of resources, promotion of justice and equity, and ensuring the rights and well-being of all citizens.

After that they then went to the city square which has a tall monolith standing in the middle which looks over the city. Upon seeing this monolith, Asagi is surprised once more at just how detailed and descriptive the monolith is. On its surface, there are carvings on it which was so intricate and ancient that even Asagi couldn't figure out its meaning.

"Amazing!" Exclaimed by Asagi

"What is?" Asked by hero Sato

"This... This carvings"

"Oh..."

"This must be ancient language, even though some may just regard this as some kind of art with no meaning, this however has meaning in of itself and its people are ignorant of such things"

"So it has meaning, can you read it?"

"Unfortunately i cant, even though i'm a queen, i was never a god, so i'm not proficient enough to understand this in just a snap"

"So even you has its own flaws"

"Of course i have em, there is no one perfect"

Once they had that small talk, Asagi continued to watch over it, before leaving and going to another place in the city. As they continued to walk, they soon learned of an amazing tourist spot from one of the locals, as it describe the place as ordinary but beautiful. Following its advice, they soon reached the entrance of the said place, and entered in its entrance tunnel.

Not long after as they entered the tunnel, they then came out of the slope which drags both of them upwards as they saw the city in its higher plane of observance. Not long after, they then arrived at the cliff which oversees the whole city and shows just how majestic and brilliance the city is.

After awhile of silently observing the city, Asagi and hero Sato then decided to take their leave, as they slowly descend down the slope and leave the area which is famous for its tourist attraction. After that they then returned to the inn as their stroll ended with the sight of the city imprinted on their mind.

Once they got back, they then entered their own room, as Asagi was quite exhausted from all the walking she had done throughout the day. With that she then sat on her chair as she silently observed the city through the window and somewhat experienced boredom once more in her isolation.

Boredom that she had almost forgotten due to how busy she was, now that she had time to rest, she couldn't help but feel the nostalgia once more as she remembered her time on earth in her cycle of boredom.

Whenever she was on her day off, Asagi would mostly spend her time on her room with nothing much of a thought but to rest in itself. "Resting" typically refers to the act of taking a break or relaxing. It could mean physically resting by lying down or sitting quietly, or it could refer to taking a mental break from work or activities. Resting is important for recharging your energy, reducing stress, and maintaining overall well-being.

Resting offers several benefits for physical, mental, and emotional well-being. First, resting allows your body to repair and recover from physical exertion, injuries, or illness. It helps muscles to heal and rebuild, reduces inflammation, and supports overall recovery processes. Second, taking breaks and resting can lower stress levels by giving your mind and body a chance to relax and unwind. This helps to reduce the production of stress hormones like cortisol, promoting a sense of calm and relaxation.

Third, resting is essential for maintaining optimal cognitive function. It allows your brain to recharge, consolidate memories, and process information more effectively, leading to improved focus, concentration, and mental clarity. Fourth adequate rest can boost productivity and creativity by preventing burnout and mental fatigue. Taking breaks allows you to return to tasks with renewed energy and fresh perspectives, leading to better problem-solving and innovation. Fifth Resting can improve mood and emotional well-being by reducing feelings of irritability, anxiety, and depression. It gives you time to relax, engage in enjoyable activities, and connect with others, promoting feelings of happiness and fulfillment.

Sixth, Chronic sleep deprivation and lack of rest can contribute to various health problems, including heart disease, obesity, and weakened immune function. Resting adequately supports overall physical health and strengthens the immune system, helping to prevent illness and disease. Lastly, according to research back on earth, it suggests that getting enough rest, particularly quality sleep, is associated with a longer lifespan and better overall health outcomes.

Overall, incorporating regular rest and relaxation into your routine is essential for maintaining balance, promoting health, and enhancing overall quality of life.

"I missed home..."

As Asagi had her rest, she then begun to remember her home world, as she had the sense of homesick, which is a natural thing to people who are always away from their home. Her longing for home drives her to accomplish what was given to her in order to return back to her old world. However as more time she spent in this world, it then slowly become harder for her to cut them off, after all she is slowly building connections in this world and breaking such bond is much harder than one thinks.

*********

Hours passed, night then fell on the land as stars shone brightly in the sky and and a half filled moon came out from its hiding. As this beautiful scenery befell unto them, some then admired its beauty, some just simply ignored it, while some used it as guide to track their way. Just like the day, there are many activities that can be done at night that can be both good and evil. but with the way of life, people who are not involved in said events are ignorant of the suffering that other people currently experiences.

In that dead of the night, hero Sato then went out of his room and unto the inn's balcony in order to freshen himself and think of somethings that are relevant to him. To be exact, he cant sleep, or the fact that he had so much to think about today prevented him from having a peaceful sleep.

Throughout his trip alongside Asagi, he somehow saw the beauty of this city itself. However alongside that beauty, he also felt the longingness whenever he saw a complete family walking down the street and having fun. The moment he saw such thing, he then begun to think of things he had left behind in his home world earth, and remember everything that currently happened to him in this world.

The only way to describe what he felt when seeing a happy complete family was envy. He was envious of a complete family, he was envious of the child that he or she could still be with his parents, he is envious of their connections.

The reason for his envy is because hero Sato had an incomplete family back on earth. Before he got to this world and act as a hero, he was just an ordinary human suffering the pain of the world and living through it. His family was not rich nor poor, they were making a decent amount as a salary man, but everything changed when his father fell ill with pneumonia. Pneumonia is inflammation and fluid in the lungs caused by a bacterial, viral or fungal infection. It makes it difficult to breathe and can cause a fever and cough with yellow, green or bloody mucus.

Because of his father falling ill to such a disease, he then was admitted into a hospital which has complete equipment to deal with such cases. But despite of relief, the doctors informed them of the other problem that his father have due to having pneumonia. First is the fall of sodium in its body, second is kidney stones acting up, third is parasitic worms inside his intestines, third over hydration of the body, and etc. There were so many problems with his father that caused them to stay for a month in the hospital. 

Many operations, medicines, and surveillance were conducted in this one month, it was so many that their bill reached a total of 3 million in just one month in the hospital. Upon seeing this huge bill, his mother became stressed of finding ways to pay the hospital, with the meager earning they had that only reached 500,000. At that point they were buried in debt from multiple money sources just to pay the bill. Unfortunately came into a waste when his father lets go and passed away in exactly a week after the one month in the hospital. Everything was for naught and his mother depressed and saddened by the incident.

Not only were they in debt, they also couldn't save his father's life. Due to hardship, he then had no choice but to mix his schooling in the day and part time job at night in order to help his mother pay all of the family's debts. He was so busy that he became slight malnourished from the lack of sleep and rest that his body originally need in his age. It wasn't long after that his mother learned of his sacrifice, causing her to cry as she asked for forgiveness from her flaws as a mother. But as a good child, Sato never minded his mothers flaws as he knew their situation was.

Everything was going smoothly until he was summoned in this world as a hero. With the situation at hand and the fact that he was the only one left in his mother's life, he naturally couldn't accept being summoned into this world which caused quite a commotion. However in order to appease everyone who was discontent with the summon, the royal family of the Orboume kingdom promised to send them back home once everything was over and the hero had accomplished in saving the world.

Even though there are some discontent, the majority then accepted the fact in front of them as they accomplished what they needed to do. As for hero Sato's case, he only doing this in order to return to earth and be with his mother. In order to be allowed to return, he needed to bring peace unto this world.

But as he was taking a breather and thinking deep thoughts, Ban the saintess of the group then approached hero Sato from behind as she asked.

"Sato?"

"Hmmm? Oh its you Ban"

"What are you doing here? aren't you supposed to be asleep?"

"That's the point... I cant sleep"

Hearing hero Sato's answer, Ban then stood beside him in her pajamas, as she talked to him about his concerns.

"You got a lot in your mind?"

"Huh?"

"I' m asking if you have a lot of things in your mind right now, after all the reason why a person cant sleep is because he or she has a lot of things to think about"

"Oh! Well if you put it that way, then i can say yes"

"... Well what are you thinking?"

"Our home... i mean Japan... i left someone behind there, i need to go back... no! I have to go back no matter what"

"Oh that! looks like your still longing to go back home"

"Of course, i left my mother behind, i don't want her to die alone, so i need to go back in order to be by her side, but the only way we can do that is by bringing peace unto the world... i though that as a modern person, such a thing would be easy, but i was wrong... it is hella hard and unconventional... there is no diplomacy in this world, and only the strong ones are being followed.

"I think that difficulty is a given fact"

"I know... I just miss my mother... what about you?"

"Me? Well i'm more envious of you, i mean at least you have a mom to support you, unlike me"

"Huh?"

"How do you say this... despite being a complete family, it was a family devoid of love, i'm an unwanted child... in our group of three siblings, i'm the one  who is inferior than my siblings. Average grades, average looks, and even average skills, completely different from my siblings who were always on top. Due to that all the love and attention were shifted to my successful siblings and left me with nothing but crumbs... a pretty fucked up family, so its okay if no one even knew i went missing, after all i'm an unwanted child among the three"

"That's pretty dark"

"You think so?"

"Yeah"

With that comment both hero Sato and ban burst into small laughter, from Sato's facial expression. However their alone time was disturbed as another figure approached the balcony and commented at their interaction in the balcony.

"Ah! young love... i missed being young"

Out in the dark, a tall unkept bearded man walk out from the dark, while drinking some beer along the way.

"Don't mind me! keep going"

As the unkept man said that, he then leaned on the balcony as he drank his beer and waited for Sato to share his feelings and thoughts to Ban.
