Upper world – Chapter 14

『Cheers!』

The sound of wooden jugs. .h.i.tting each other fills the air.

On the next day, we finally returned to Koper. We were currently toasting in the inn me and Claire rented a room in, named『The deer’s horn』. To celebrate safely returning home and completing our guild requests.

We were in good humours as our first request gave us more income than expected.

「Anyway, I’m glad that we met Est. If it was just us, I don’t think we could’ve beaten the Orcs」

「That’s true, isn’t it? I’m surprised at how strong you two are」

Don’t raise me up that much. I only defeated 1 Orc you know? I didn’t play that much of an active part.

「I have kept you waiting~」

The inn onee-san brought me a dish from the kitchen. I also ordered wine for two people. Grilled fish the size of a red snapper is on the plate in front of me, it’s surrounded by green vegetables and mushrooms.

Is the cat race interested in fish as expected? Claire seems to be restless. Her face is calm, however her tail is moving left and right unsteadily.

One of the dishes brought over had something like fruit on it.

When I try it. The fragrance of fruit spreads in my mouth. It’s been boiled for a while, so the fruit is easy to chew.

As I was fascinated by the dish, Amyl begins to talk.

「What will you guys do now?」

Hearing that, I stopped what I was doing.

「I think we’ll take one or two requests late, I’d like to try a dungeon as well」

The dungeon was one of the main reasons this town had many adventurers.

「Then, can we follow too? We’ve entered twice before, but it didn’t go well」

The first time they went, they were forced to return after triggering a trap on the first floor. The second time, they went with a party of high-levelled adventurers. As such, Amyl was treated as a luggage carrier. Lelena was constantly pestered by the other party members, which ended in a quarrel.

「Est can be trusted and you’re easy to speak to. Also, your level is close to ours. If we work together, it should go well. How about it?」

「Me too. I think having 4 people will make requests a lot easier」

If two people say so, then I have no reason in particular to refuse.

「What does Claire think?」

「I also think we’ll work better with two more people」

Since there is no opposing opinions. Then it’s settled.
