Chapter 69 - The Quest Isn't Done Yet (4)

He immediately gathered all the information he needed to know from the mermaid.Then he took off his own camouflage artifact.He put it on the mermaid. (Maetel once again became enraged at this gesture.)After he somewhat disguised her identity, he gave her a skirt and an adequate top for her to wear.Then he returned to the city with her.

Of course, the Lunatic Wave was still going on, so the streets of the city was as quiet as ever.Everyone was trying to survive until the end of the Lunatic Wave, so they had changed their way of life.

“Fortunately, there aren’t any people here that’ll make a fuss after seeing you.”

[Human clothes are uncomfortable.]

[Endure it until we reach a place with no human eyes.]

[Understood.]

A mermaid’s lower body turned into that of a fish when one was underwater.However, when one came out to dry land, the mermaid’s lower body naturally turned into human legs.The mermaid became bipedal.

Even if mermaids were capable of walking on two legs, human clothes were incredibly uncomfortable to them.The mermaid was restless as she kept grabbing and letting go of her skirt.

[Do you perhaps have a name?]

[I do.My name is Sheryll Anaid.For your convenience, you can just call me Sheryll.]

[All right.You probably won’t have any occasions to call me by my name, but my name is Artpe….. Wait a moment.Did you just say Anaid?]

He reacted way too late.Artpe had been trying to foster a friendly atmosphere by exchanging each other’s names.However, something about her name had caught his attention, and he furrowed his brows.

[Didn’t you just say the mermaid kingdom was called Anaid?]

[That is correct.I am the 37th Queen of the Anaid Kingdom.]

They were like fishes.Their population number was incredibly high.Fortunately for Artpe, Sheryll wasn’t the future Queen, so he hoped there wouldn’t be any complications.As he had these thoughts, he opened the door to the inn, and he led her in.

“So that’s what I did to the Kraken…..”

“Give me one more beer!I still can’t forget that bastard’s face······.”

“Hey, innkeeper!”

It was as if the quiet street outside had been a lie.The 1st floor of the inn was crowded with people.Soldiers that were finished with their shifts on the barrier wall were inside the inn.Then there were the mercenaries that were quickly called into the city.There were even merchants from other countries present there.

Artpe didn’t want to fault these men, who were boasting as they drank alcohol.If one thought about the endless stream of Lunatic Wave in the near future, it was good for them to rest and let off steam like this.When the next shift on the wall was relieved, the inns and pubs would continue to be busy.

“Uh.Look over there…..”

“It’s a woman.”

“My eyes just brightened.She brightens up my eyes.”

Artpe’s party had entered in the midst of such men.They glossed over the presence of Artpe, but the atmosphere clearly changed when they saw the women, who followed in behind him.It wasn’t just a single woman.Three beautiful women had come in.

Two of them looked young, and they were equipped with imposing weapons.The ratio of men to women was incredibly high inside the inn, so they became the focus of the men.

“What about them?”

“Hey, you better avert your eyes.You’ll follow my advice if you don’t want to die!”

However, everyone quietly retracted their gazes from them.

First, they remembered the sight of Maetel and Sienna fighting each other in the square.They had been incredibly scary.Secondly, they had crushed and cut down the Demons, who had mowed down the humans as if they were stalks of wheat.Lastly, the person that stopped the Kraken was here.The monster would have devoured Frate and the entirety of Diaz if he hadn’t been here.Everyone here knew the face of the young magician, who possessed incredible amount of magical energy.

“For him, I might…...”

“I can see why the two of them were fighting over him.”

“I heard he has a dirty personality.My employer grinded his teeth with vexation because of him.”

“Shut up, you idiot!”

Artpe completely ignored all the idiots gathered here as he approached the counter.There was a woman working behind the counter.She was working the counter instead of the innkeeper.The innkeeper was delivering food, but he quickly retook his position.He greeted Artpe.

“Wow.You are back!You are a magician!”

“I’m not here for anything important.I’ve added another party member, so I want to ask you if I have any additional fees I have to pay…..?”

“All I can say is that I’m jealous of you!Shit!You already gained one more woman in such a short span of time!Moreover, she is very pretty!”

The innkeeper was brutally honest!Of course, his reaction would change if he found out that Sheryll was a monster.Still, it was pretty entertaining to see the innkeeper’s vexation, so he let it be.

“So should I give you more money or not?”

“You are taking all of them into the same room as if it is all in the day’s work….No, I don’t need it!If you are able to sleep comfortably within such a small room, I don’t care if you bring three or five women!Do as you want!You can sleep with them all there!”

“I get it, so stop crying while you speak…..”

The innkeeper suddenly grabbed Artpe’s hand.He spoke with sincere eyes.

“I heard you were the magician that killed the Kraken.Thank you for protecting our city.Yes, if it is, you deserve it…..!Please fulfill my dream in my stead!You can fulfill my fantasy of having enough wives to fill up a villa….”

“You are being really creepy.Can you let go of my hand?”

The inn keeper had met a lucky adventurer, who would be able fulfill his dream.It seemed he was in a good mood.The innkeeper declared in a generous manner.

“Eh-eet!I’m in a good mood!I’ll provide dinner for you guys for free!”

“Since you are providing a free service, can you deliver it to our room?”

Delivery service was impossible, but it was possible to take out the food.Artpe took the buttered corn cobs, which were the specialty of this inn, and other hot foods to his room with his party members.

[Hoo-ooh.]

When they entered the room, they were free from the gazes of other people.This was why Sheryll immediately threw off her skirt.Maetel immediately launched herself towards Artpe, and Artpe swiftly dodged Maetel as he threw a cloth towards Sheryll. He praised himself, since he somehow managed not to upend the plates he was carrying.

[Cover yourself with this!]

[Understood]

After the suffocating and desperate struggle, the four of them settled into the room.

Maetel remained wary of Sheryll.Sienna hugged Roa, who had exited Artpe’s hood.Unlike Maetel, who was wary of Roa for being a female cat, Sienna had taken a liking to Roa.

[······are you sure that is edible?]
