“Yep, Shuricchi is right We have to continue like this~”
“Yes, you are all right”
Vale also brightened up his expression happily
“Still, I’m really pooped today~”
“Geez, Taishi+, you’re so sloppy”
Chika cautioned Taishi+, who lay down on the ground
“Let e happen lately?”
“Anything strange? Let me think…”
Vale put his hand against his chin and looked
“Now that you ht in ‘Ames’ the other day”
“I think ‘Ae west of here?”
Vale affirmed shi+nobu’s question with a nod
“Yes”
“And the caught men were rather famous, weren’t they?”
“Yes, the ‘Harios Brothers’ They are notorious adventurer that h they were stripped off their adventurer title when their crimes became known So it is more correct to call them former adventurer”
“Mhht?”
“Indeed and the testiarbled”
“What do you mean?”
Everyone, not just shi+nobu, curiously paid attention to Vale
“Every villager is saying that a Hero clad in a red robe came to their rescue when the ‘Harios Brothers’ preyed the village”
“A red robe? A hero? What the?”
“All I know is that he had black hair, used a ic that extended his sword and had a power to make his opponent faint just from a touch”
“Black hair… couldn‘t be?”
“Th- The report also mentioned he had a self-important attitude”
“Black hair and self-important?”
shi+nobu looked at everyone’s faces and apparently everyone was reminded of the same person But they all believed it to be some kind of mistake
“Nah… not hie person after all”
“He would never help anyone with that twisted personality of his”
“Haha, that’s going too far, Chika”
“Mh~ But, I wonder what’s true Actually, where’s he noay?”
No one knew the answer to that Vale shook his head too
“Well, thinking won’t get us anywhere We’ll just do e can!”
Chika declared encouraging to everyone Everyone responded with a nod

Hiiro frowned sullen, whereas Arnold next to him twitched his cheek muscles
A large number of people had set up stalls and attracted a crowd in front of theot irritated by this confluence and thereby resulting enthralled atmosphere

His discoin with, there was this obnoxious guy next to him and this crowd on top of that only added oil to the fire It was really irritating
“Hey, were you thinking so rude just now?”
“Me? Nah I only thought you were annoying, old man”
“Listen here! Can’t you deny it, even if you have to lie? What are you answering honestly for, damn it!”
“That’s what’s so annoying about you”
“S- Seriously, one of these days…”
He clenched his tre fist At that time, Arnold’s vision fell onto Muir Her face was flushed and she watched at the bustling people
“…Okay, I’ve decided! Say what you want, but I’m determined!”
“What’s that out of the blue? You finally lost it?”
“Shut up!”
Muir blinked her eyes in puzzlement too
“We’re staying the night here, right? Then let’s enjoy the festival too!”
On these words, Muir’s expression lit up with energy She seeo around the festival, but was fretting as she couldn’t say it out loud
“I see Then have a good time, you two I’m at the inn”
“Wait”
Hiiro tried to leave, but was stopped at the shoulder
“Let go”
“No, no, how can you be like this now? Let’s enjoy the festival”
“Not interested”
“Mhm, you sure you want to act like that?”
“……What do you mean?”
Arnold put up one finger and s him down for that, but resisted
“Listen, the ≪Raer Festival≫ here in ‘Surge’ is quite big”
“…”
“There are tons of shops~ Moreover, there’s a super popular stall here”
Hiiro’s shoulders twitched as the words super popular piqued his interest
“To add to that, they’re holding a coe’ A food stall wins every year… but see what I’ at?”
“…Certainly It serves really good food?”
“I think you would be quite pleased”
“Mhm”
Arnold ell versed Seee” It didn’t see either, nor had he any reason to Then caood food
As a result, Hiiro went ahead of the two
“H- Hey”
Arnold was disappointed, thinking is persuasion had failed, but Hiiro said without turning around
“Lead the way already What if the good stuff sells out, pervert?”
“Don’t call me pervert!”
He shouted angry, but his mouth formed a small smile Muir was thrilled fro the festival for a while
