Chapter 96 (1/2)

The Hero and a Meal

With hi to Rokuko, he’ll probably be executed ies to return alive Well, I’m not really worried about hi soood thing so let’s just continue on with the can

“… So, what do you think we should do, Keh, tell me how he asked”

“Eh? Nnn, umm, ‘would you befrom embarrassment… but is that even a proposal?

Partner can have various h it could definitely mean a partnershi+p between a man and a woman, it could also mean partners like me and Rokuko

Even I use [Partner] to describe Rokuko a lot

… Ah, there’s a chance that Translation-san is replacing what Iisn’t there…

“Heeey, Rokuko, did you answer hi?”

“Yeah, well I refused ih! I have Kehma so I don’t need another partner”

“Y-yeah Then isn’t the problem solved with that?”

“Wait up! U to talk and I don’t want to eat together with him You come too, Kehma!”

An S-Rank adventurer’s request huh… Wouldn’t it usually be fine if I just refused?

No, it ht turn into a bad situation if we don’t talk to hiood opportunity

And if Rokuko talked with hi about that There’s the possibility that she’s already guilty of so, after all what did she do to make hi about properly requesting you to be there, as uess?”

“Hey, do it right! Kehht, I’m your partner, yeah”

crap With this course of events, what kind of ure it out

… The probleto do huh

Ah, maybe I could ask the hero about it directly?

In the end, I decided to talk directly with the hero While eating a ht now, Kinue-san is in theup the A-Rank special, the [Avarice Meal], also known as the kid’sin front of the hero with the uise Rokuko was next to uise to conceal my hair color as well, it’s closer to a full-face helmet than a mask I made the mouth area able to be detached for the meal It’ll be convenient to hide o with this from now on

“Good to meet you, Hero-dono I am Narikin Rokuko’s partner It is my honor to be able to meet you”

“Good to meet you I am Wataru Nishi+mi… umm, Narikin-san Rokuko-san It was very impolite for me to invite you, but—it’s impossible to talk with this meal in front ofthough… you can be a bit loose with the kid’slike that, but it looked like that was out of the question for the hero He’s been fixedly staring at the kid’s meal and cream soda for a while now

Maybe I shouldn’t have served the hero a meal meant for children after all? The hero probably knohiold any tile-mindedly ate the kid’s meal Moreover, with a serious face the whole time

… He looks like an adult, but with hi a kid’s meal, the atry about the price being too high—not I thought he ht be, but it didn’t look like that was the case

“—Thank you for thethe last drop of the crearain of food left on his plate—shed tears

“I’m sorry, I just recalled my hometown… it’s already impossible to return there”

Three years I’m sure Haku-san said that three years have passed since this hero was suh school, that would be the saraduate With that as probably happened I don’t knohat happened, but froained a grand a in japan

“You can’t return anymore, is it?”

“Yeah My hometown is in a different world, so there’s no way to return I’ for a way, but—even if I find one, I still wouldn’t be able to return there… Since co to this world, reatest sin”

I see, so he’s killed people since co to this world So he can’t return to japan, huh

Murders in another world probably wouldn’t get hih, but the problem is probably how he feels about it

“So then, why are you looking for aable to?”

“Ah, in the future, I ht want to return to their ho attach to be h I don’t feel like leaving my comfortable life here to return to japan, I wonder if I’d want to return soh

“I understand the reason Haku-sama recommended this inn This place really does have a hint of japan I have a few questions I’d like to ask, is that alright?”
