Chapter 82 (1/2)

Summary of the last chapter in three lines

White tigerkin appeared.

Red Blow's clan leader appeared.

Honorable death of someone's confession.

The sudden confession quieted the room entirely for a moment, though Dina's immediate reply refreshes the hustle and bustle back to the dining room.

「Hey man, cheer up! Here, just drink your feeling away!!」

Dazed, the white tigerkin man is taken without resistance by other costumer. Just like that, he drinks the alcohol in desperation.

「Soutsan, let's have a meal.」

Dina pulls Souta's hand with a smile as if nothing happened. In front of Dina, everyone makes a path directly to an empty table as if she was splitting the sea. Only after reaching the table, Dina's showing up her anger.

「What a rude person, the first time we met and he asked me for a marriage, even a joke should have some limit.」

「Maybe he was unexpectedly serious?」

There is no need to, but Souta still makes a follow up to the man in consideration of that man trying to save him.

「It's still bad even if it's serious! Even though we don't know each other…… moreover, I'm Soutsan-」

Her voice quieted down on the second half of her sentences that Souta unable to hear her.

「Hmm? Did you say something?」

「No no, it is nothing.」

Dina vigorously shaking her heads.

「More importantly, why didn't Soutsan said anything? After he said such thing to me.」

「… Well, I know you would refuse. Rather than uselessly saying something like appreciating his effort, I decide to not say anything.」

After a moment of blank look on his face, Souta answers Dina's question.

It's unclear what kind of conclusion Dina reaches to when she hears Souta's answers, but whatever it is, that conclusion leads to the blushes on her cheeks.

「The meals are free of charge after some troubles, so let's order something. Excuse me.」

Souta raises his hand and called the clerk. In this noisy dining room, Souta applies wind magic to his voice so that it can reach the clerk smoothly despite all the hustle bustle in there.

「Yes, I will take your order.」

「I want this, this, and also… this. How about you, Dina?」

As the topic of conversation suddenly changes, Dina checks the menu in hurry.

「Err.. umm, I want this, this, after that, I also want this.」

「Is that all? Then please wait a moment.」

After confirming the order, the clerk runs back to the kitchen.

「At any rate, the white tigerkin man is noisy. Trying to protect me from those guys, and then now asking you for a marriage…」

「I know right. I'm not very good at dealing with people like that.」

Dina unhappily puffing her cheeks.

「I guess he's not a bad guy, just reckless. I feel like he resembles that man a little.」

Said Souta while reminiscing his beastman companion from his previous adventure.
