Chapter 16 (2/2)
To be honest, it was not a pleasant sight to see an oldover food Well, the food was certainly worth crying over, but it somewhat spoiled the mood, so Hiiro decided to smack him afterwards
“Oh~ I’m stuffed! Stuffed to no end~”
Arnold smiled happily
“Yeah, it was delicious Ehm… well…”
Muir looked at Hiiro
“Uhm… Th- Thank you”
Seeratitude Hiiro replied with a siered Arnold to ask about the ≪Word Magic≫
“So, will you tell me about what you wrote on my palm earlier?”
“…Fine”
“Eh? You’ll really tell me?”
Arnold had thought he would refuse again, so he asked back on reflex
“What? I can just keep it to myself then”
“Ah, no, no Let ic?”
“Yes, it’s called ≪Word Magic≫ An unique ic”
“An unique ic!?”
“You’re too loud! I won’t tell you more!”
“S- Sorry B- But is it really an unique ic?”
“Yeah See the word on your palm?”
“Y- Yes”
“That’s a word from where I lived and I can draw out the effect from the word”
This world didn’t know of Kanji, so the other two couldn’t read it, so he frankly explained the ic Both of them listened with a dumbfounded expression
“Actually, isn’t your ic unfair?”
“NOD”
Muir nodded asserting to Arnold’s words
“Who cares It’s like an inborn talent”
“Well, sure, but… Still, I’ve heard of unique ic, but none as powerful as this”
“Oho, like what for example?”
Hiiro was interested in unique ic besides his own
“Let’s see, ic that brainwashes people and… ic”
“They indeed sound powerful”
Especially the brainwashi+ng one sounded dangerous He didn’t knoorked, but a ic that bewitches other people’s hearts was too powerful
“But with your ≪Word Magic≫, you can use any of these ht?”
To be honest, he could Maybe he couldn’t control it as perfect as the original, but it was possible to use a ith a similar effect
“Indeed, I can”
“I knew it, so unfair~ You’re a damn cheater~”
“NOD”
“It ht be omnipotent, but it’s not invincible”
“What do you mean?”
“Who knows? I’ve no reason to tell you”
“Grr… Well, you aren’t a fool that would tell others your weakness”
“Indeed”
“But leaving that aside, your ! Truly paradisiacal!”
“Whatever I’ to the inn Also, don’t tell anyone about this”
“Listen to me!”
Hiiro acted at his own pace as always, whereas the other two sighed and followed him
“Mh? Enough of the festival already?”
“Eh? Ah, yeah, I’m satisfied…”
“I had fun too!”
“There you have it”
“Then go book a room, servant”
“I’ myself, but I ain’t your servant! Also, pay some respect to your elders!”
“Don’t be so arrogant just because you were born earlier”
“It let ht away!”
Hiiro looked at the suddenly shouting Arnold and said
“……Don’t become like him, shorty”
“What do you mean, you damn brat!”
Hiiro shi+fted his gaze to Muir, but she was troubled how to react
Ignoring Arnold’s annoying outburst, Hiiro headed to the inn But a problem occurred there
“…Eh? No free rooms?”
Arnold had hiswide-open at the front desk Behind him, Hiiro was emitted a displeased aura to the max
“My deepest apologizes Due to the festival, we have no vacant rooms at the moment”
What to do now? Arnold sweated bullets, wondering how to reason with the devil behind hi intent
Arnold slowly and quietly turned his head around and looked at the black-haired boy in question
“What’s the deal, old man?”
“N- Nothing I can do here, can I? When they’re booked out, they’re booked out”
“…Hah, sleeping outside even though we’re at a town…”
Hiiro ht To be honest, he had hoped to sleep in a proper bed after cah, it was an unaccomplished dream
“damn… Stupid festival… Just explode”
He said so dreadful, but he had enjoyed the festival himself, so he didn’t snap for real They should’ve booked a rooht have booked out already, but he regretted not checking it
“Excuse me…”
The inn keeper at the front desk called out to them, so the three of them looked at him dispirited
“If I est, why don’t you try out the Guild?”
“The Guild?”
Arnold titled his head
“Ah, yes The Guild has resting rooive you a room?”
Upon that, Arnold’s expression brightened up and he nodded
“I see On a day like this, they really ive us a room”
“Are we going there?”
Muir looked at hiaze and Arnold placed his hand on her head
“Yeah, it’s our last hope”
“I hope it won’t be in vain”
“Brat! Why’re you saying that! Don’t be so daative!”
“Let’s hurry”
“Again, listen to me!”
Hiiro swiftly left the inn, whereas the other two followed in a rush
