After crossing the main road there was a Main market most of the valuable things could be found here. Alisha aimlessly wander around the market, most of the time she stand silently at some point and observe her surroundings with great interest.
Seeing the girl standing, the shopkeeper asked "Do you want to buy anything" getting no reply he again said "if you don't want to buy anything, then leave don't block the way" because of shopkeeper loud voice everyone gazes turned to them, feeling awkward and understanding what he meant, Alisha leave that area.
