They'd likely have another encounter if they continued on, but at least Hiroko knew about them. She could be more alert - and she had a weapon with her. Way better than being taken by surprise again like earlier. It had been lucky for her that one of the goblin's bow had rolled off to her. The bow may have been small for her but at least she would have something to protect herself with.

So this was called the Alma Kingdom - a monarchy. That was unusual for the modern day, but since this was some sort of alternate universe, she guessed that a monarchy was the norm. And this forest was on the borders of the kingdom. Maybe that's the reason that there were still goblins around and that there wasn't much of a civilization around. That and they were kind of inside a forest.

[b][color=f26522]"Who rules the country? What kind of traditions should we be aware of? Anything to avoid?"[/color][/b] It was the first things she wanted to know when she came to a foreign area - well aside from the first question, but that was because they were now in a place with a monarchy and she assumed that they would kind of need to know about that. This information would make it easier for her to assimilate into the kingdom. They can't get in trouble.
