Chapter 8 (1/2)

Now that they've even conore theine why Lorobel-san is here, but you I can't”

It's not that I've forgotten my proe inforet We're not involved in any way

”I told you, didn't I?! That I have business with you! I' you already so would you hear me out already?!”

…… Well, they even knohere I' Guess I don't have et it with Lorobel-san, but how did you figure out where I'?”

”Because of the same reason, I'd think”

Ah, is that so

In other words, everybody brought to the royal capital because of their Ceremony of Determination results are made to stay here And they both knew that

”I've never ht that you're probably soht here because of the Ceremony of Determination Since you didn't know about me either”

I' an adventurer and I am not shameless, but…… oh well, let's leave it

”Give me a moment I have to first do the paperwork to extend er have any reason to escape, so let's listen to theirl, well, if it's not so troublesome, then let's just listen for what it's worth

After co both of the but a bed, obviouslyelse It doesn't even come with food, but it has a bath, so……

…… Ahh, now that I' about it calmly, I can see how this is an inn specialized for those who've been brought over because of the Ceremony of Determination

It'd be a problem for kids to show up all dirty, so the bath is for the to the castle

Baths are a huge luxury In the village, we only had a small public one for everyone to use

I did spot several public baths in the city, so I suppose it's not like every household here has one either

When such a small inn that doesn't even provide food does provide a bath, then it's just too obvious There can't be any other reason than to make sure that dirty little brats and dirty little lasses co from the countryside , I invite the two to sit on ainst the wall

Naturally, it's so that I can dash away at the first sign of anything fishy or dangerous Redhead I think I can handle somehow, but Blond Mushroom is bad

——And, well, there's that too

The moment Lorobel enters ain

This ti 52 when I saw her in the Adventurer's Guild But now it's 31 What is with these numbers?

No, wait a second

Is itit?

I did look around quite a bit during the , but I didn't spot anyone with a number like Lorobel has In other words, it's only over Lorobel that I can see a nuet it

Redhead next to her doesn't have it, so could it be that it's not so?

Wait, what about the possibility that Redhead is also seeing Lorobel's nu well-known in the adventurers' world and I'et hoould work, but could it be that she's got a Talent for Nuet how that would work

At first, I'd thought it to be age, but there's just too much difference between 52 and 31 And from her appearance she really does look like she's in her twenties

………… I really don't get it

Just like that ti If it turns out that it really is Lorobel projecting that nuation to let her know that I can even see it

”Lorobel-san, letaway”

”Don't worry about it I understand why you did that I' you involved in my problems”

Great It seems she didn't misunderstand

The reason why I ran away that tiht up in Lorobel-san's quarrel There was nothing else that I could have done

”But still, your feet sure are fast Not a single person ined that someone would dine-and-dash at the Adventurer's Guild”

That's the sort of thing that everybody jumps on board with in hopes of a reward, she continues with jovial laughter

”It was quite early in the , so perhaps everybody was still sleepy”

shi+shou told me before that e co us with their eyes But in exchange, there is s of vibrations in the air and ground that could give us away
