Chapter 08: An average guy that won’t work for free
In “Ames” he looked for an inn first of all Luckily for hih empty rooms, only one double room was booked
“A single room please”
“Eh, ah, yes Ex- Excuse me… Are you… an adventurer?”
“…Yes?”
“I… see”
“…?”
Hiiro inclined his head as he somehow didn’t feel welcoe, nor did he ever did so to them
Yet, the inn keeper treated him anxiously It bothered him, but for now, he reserved his rooe
But there he noticed soazes on him And from all directions at that It was an atuest
Just like the inn keeper, they frowned at hie didn’t welcoht, so he didn’t let it bother him
“Hey, Mister”
At that moment, someone called out to him When he turned around, there stood a kid It was a boy around the age of seven He glared at hinored him, since he didn’t like that attitude
“Hey, don’t ignore me!”
The boy got angry Why would he have to deal with a brat? Hiiro dropped his shoulders
“What‘s up, shorty?”
“Don’t callso!”
“…Are you a bull or what?”
Not like he wore the red robe to be intih he grew attached to it after wearing it all the time
With his black school uniform underneath, it was a surreal combination, but Hiiro didn’t care at all
“Mister, you’re an adventurer, right? Why did you come to such an isolated place?”
“Isolated place?”
“Don’t call it an isolated place!”
“You called it that”
Why was he so aggressive…? Hiiro couldn’t conored him and walked away as it was too troublesome after all
“H- Hey, wait!”
Ignore, ignore
“I told you to wait!”
Turn a blind eye
“Hey, man! Listen to me!”
Just the wind
“Hey… Please… don’t ignore me”
His voice gradually started to trenored Hiiro h and stopped
“What do you want?”
He stopped ignoring hie if he etically, but went back to glare at hiht away
“Sh- Sheesh, you’re such a meanie! All adventurer are like that!”
“I’”
When he glared at him in a bad mood, the boy cowered with a shi+ver
“…Hah So, what’s up? I’ around, you know”
“Eh? Why’re you looking around?”
“What does itto do with you, brat”
“Uh… Uhh…”
The boy got close to tears again, so Hiiro pressed on his teh
“Hah Just killing ti my travel”
He looked at the boy, hoping that this satisfied him
“Oh? You’re not going to shae?”
“Sham? Say what?”
According to the boy, certain adventurers lately dropped by the village, barged into the general or weapon store and forcefully haggled products, doing whatever they wanted
“It was a group of two and they falsely charged the inn to get to stay for free”
While he grinded his teeth frustrated, the boy clenched his fist
“Why didn’t you refuse? You could’ve chased theers”
“We cannot do that”
It wasn’t the boy, who replied to Hiiro
“Ah, Uncle Panis!”
The man called Panis looked like in his late 30s In reality he loomy expression made him look older
“And you are?”
“You seem to be an adventurer My name is Panis I run a humble shop”
That meant he was a victim of the two adventurer
“Is it true what the brat said?”
“Yes, it is They currently picking at the general store”
“…You said you can’t chase them out What do you mean?”
Panis looked troubled and h
“For soe”
“Huh? Why would they have that? Doesn’t the village chief usually keep it?”
“Yes, but the title deed was suddenly gone froe chief’s house…”
In other words, the two stole it
“How careless You reap what you sow”
“Haha, you got us there”
Yet another new person answered Hiiro
“You are the adventurer that arrived earlier? I ae chief of ‘Ames’, Brey”
“What are you doing here, Chief?”
