49 Chapter 49: Relaxing (1/2)

Ned thought that it was good, as that way he can see the capital too and eat the food the old man talked about.

But the old man continued to say, ”However we will still stay here for a week, as there will be a sort of a celebration in the whole city, at the win of the humans once again, though I doubt that the attack this time was as easy as that, don't you think so too?”

”Yeah, I had thought the same, but in the end we knew what they had wanted this time” Ned replied, and although he suspected the old man already knew he was still going to tell him.

”knew what?” Alaster said. And although he heard the reports of the demons disguising, he wanted to hear it from Ned's mouth.

”Those demons had found a way to bypa.s.s the guild card, and disguise as humans”

”Yes I already heard about that” Alaster said.

”but I suspect there are not many who have such an ability” Ned said, and the old man nodded, clearly agreeing with him.

Although he knew the old man must have heard of how Amelia was deceived by the demon general and accused him of being a demon, he wasn't going to speak about it himself, he gave her his word after all.

”Well then you should go rest, I am sure you are tired from this fight” The old man said and buried his head working on the papers in his desk.

”Tomorrow the whole town will be organizing a festival for you, so today you should just rest.” He added once Ned was near the door.

Ned when he got out, went outside the inn and headed to the library, he wanted to read some books about the magical beasts in this world, and the demons so far identified.

And since Lori was not working at the inn currently, she joined him, and he had to read at the library instead of just copying the book and reading it in his room.

The whole day pa.s.sed like that, until it was time for dinner and they headed to the inn.

And found that the old man was preparing the table with plates of food for the three of them.

Lori went to help him, while Ned just sat on a chair.

Soon they all started eating.

And Lori asked Ned about his arm, ”How did you get hurt? Is it a serious injury?”

”It was in the fight against the demon general.” Ned said. He was sure she would hate Amelia if he said the real reason.

But the old man giggled a bit at his words.

However Lori was paying attention to fact he fought the demon general.

”Are you crazy, you fought against a rank 6?” She said with disbelieve on her face.

Displeased with her reaction Ned glared at her, ”What did I say about underestimating a warrior?”

”Even if you say so, you are just a rank 4, how is it normal to fight a rank 6?”

”Okay, first of all I'm now a rank 5. And second I fought him with my friends and our general was the one to kill the demon eventually.”

”You are a rank 5, that was fast, you may really be the one grandpa is waiting for” but she was relieved to hear the demon was killed with the help of other people.
