Legend

ei, as expected, it was impossible to deceive a Griffon, an A rank monster.

「I see, those three aren’t doing what I expected.」
「Guru~?」

Do you want to fight them here? At Set’s puzzled cry, Rei shook his head.

Although there were fewer people that in the daytime, there were still quite a lot.
Moreover, there were a lot of drunks.
What would happen if they started a fight here, Rei could imagine the results.

「Don’t make a fuss.
We’ll rampage about later.」
「Gururu~……」

Set nodded at Rei’s words.
Stroking Set’s head, they walked through the streets as they felt the watching eyes on them.
Eventually, the familiar Dusk Wheat Inn became visible.

 

 

「Hou~, here is……」
「It certainly is a big inn.
It’s at a level where we wouldn’t be able to afford it.」
「Is that so? It’s not that expensive.
But it saves Set a lot of trouble.」
「Guru~」

Brazos and Freon cooperated to carry the unconscious Murt off Set’s back.

「You can only say that because you have the money to afford it.」
「No, although I certainly can afford it, the reason I chose this place is mostly due to unavoidable circumstances」
「Unavoidable Circumstances?」
「Ah.
There was an issue over stables for Set, this was the only place that could accept him.」
「……I see.」

Freon was convinced.
Accompanying them, Brazos’ eyes shined as he smelled the scent of alcohol coming from the inn.

「Oh, Rei-san.
Welcome back……well, there’s quite a few of you.
And who is that person?」

Lana, the proprietress of the Dusk Wheat, greeted them.
She then saw them carrying Murt and asked.

「He’s an acquaintance, but he’s a bit drunk.
I plan to bring him to my room.
More importantly is food……」

Saying that, he turned to look at the dining area.
As expected it was full up.
Most of the seats were filled with guests who were staying overnight or had come simply for the food, there was no place for Rei to sit.

Lana understood that as well.
She bowed her plump face apologetically.

「Sorry, as you can see, right now is a bit……」
「I see, in that case, could you bring something up to my room? I’ll also ask for some for the others.」
「Wait a moment Rei! You ate so much before heading to the guild and you want to eat more!? I mean, how does it all fit into your stomach!?」

Towards Rei, who just calmly ordered a meal, Freon had a startled expression.
He had eaten a lot of skewers, sandwiches and freshly baked bread from the stalls on the way to the guild and yet he could still eat.

But Rei nodded as if there was nothing wrong with that.

「To begin with, my energy efficiency is poor.
Even if I eat a lot, I won’t get fat.」
「……You, you’re turning all the women in the world into your enemy.」

As Freon looked at Rei reproachfully, Rei ignored here and spoke to Lana again.

「Ah, I would also like a meal for Set.」
「I understand.
Please 」

Hearing a voice call for her from the dining area, Lana gave a slight bow before heading over there.

Seeing her leave, they went up the stairs to Rei’s room for now……

「I would also be happy if you could bring some alcohol if possible.」

From behind, Brazos’ voice could be heard.
Rei and Freon glanced at each other for a moment before pretending they hadn’t heard anything.

「Rei’s room is here……what, there’s almost nothing, hey.」

Because Murt was being carried by the others, Freon opened the door instead, giving an unexpected cry as she looked inside Rei’s room.

「There’s a bed, desk and chairs.」

As Rei had said, the room had all the items of an ordinary inn room.
However, it still had『Nothing』to Freon……

「Your personal items, your own property! Isn’t it normal for people to keep their own things in their room!? Spare weapons, supplies, books, a change of clothes!」

Yes.
As Freon had pointed out, there was nothing that could be considered personal items in Rei’s room.
But that was natural.

「Ah, about that.
I keep them all in my item box so there are no problems there.」

「……Oh, that’s right.
You have an item box.
So you just keep everything in there.」

Freon muttered that as Rei walked past to place Murt on the bed.

After that, they each sat down on the floor or on a chair before taking a deep breath.

「If you think about it, hurrying back from the mountain with the Harpies, returning to Gimuru and going straight to the Margrave’s residence.
After that we went to the guild, then to Pamidor’s smithy.
Then this guy brought this uproar to us…… Somehow, I feel like a lot of things happened today.」
「Hahaha.
Well, it’s no wonder that Freon is tired.
Still, I feel the same.」
「You have the same feeling as well?」

Freon asked at Brazos’ words as they both sat on the floor.

「Mm.
I feel that a lot of noisy things happened today, but you could say that it was just a fulfilling day.
If you think about it like that, it’s not that bad after all.」
「Is that so.」

As Freon gave a sigh, there was a knock on the door and Rei reflexively reached for his weapon.

「Who is it?」

In response to Rei’s question, a person whom they had just talked to on the floor below a few minutes earlier replied.

「It’s Lana, I’ve brought your meal.」
「I see, sorry about this.」

Rei opened the door, keeping his knife at his waist as a precaution.
Lana was waiting outside with a large tray.
Aside from the food on the tray, there was also a bottle of wine.

「Is this good enough?」
「Ahh, thank you very much.
The price?」
「If you exclude Rei’s portion, one silver coin is enough.」

The price of the food was reasonable and not too high, considering the amount of food and wine for the other three.
Judging that, he paid her a silver coin.

(However, I’ll collect it back from Murt later.)

Thinking to himself, he saw Lana off.

「……Food……」

As the smell of cooked food began to drift into the room, Murt, who had been sleeping like a child, woke up and looked around the room as if waiting for that.

「Getting up at the smell of food……no, well, sure it smells nice but really.」

Freon looked at Murt in honest amazement as Rei walked over to him, agreeing in his heart as well.
