Chapter 55 (1/2)
The fat drips from the fish as it is scorched by the heat....
I picked up the last fish and bit into it.
”Uma!”
”The fish here are delicious.”.
”It 's so yummy!”
Freshly cooked fish is juicy and moist.
Orlos seems to love it.
By the way, it looks like their troll hunt was successful.
They finished the hunt in an hour and then came back, so I guess there's no question that they are indeed S-rank.
”Hah~, I'm satisfied.”
With our stomachs full, we relax in the shade of a tree.
The weather and temperature are perfect.
”This is great.”
Lynn emerges from the bushes in a bathing suit.
After a while, Kaede and Frau also appeared, looking beautiful.
Kaede wore a white bikini over her translucent white skin.
Her slender and sexy body would fascinate any man...
Kaede looked at me shyly.
”My Lord! You should also look at Frau!”
”Uwa!”
She grabbed my head tightly and spun it so that I looked at her.
She is an insistent little slave.
Frau has a slender figure, but that's all I can say.
The swimsuit she was wearing was a pretty pink ruffle.
Her long pigtails were pulled back in a bun, giving her a slightly different look than usual.
”Guys, don't go falling in love with my body, nya!”
Lynn wears a black bikini to accentuate her sex appeal.
However, the members of The Flame Axe Gang looked at each other and then quickly looked back at Kaede.
”Hey! Why are you only looking at Kaede!?”
”We've been together since childhood, so we've seen you in so many different ways. At this point, a swimsuit isn't that surprising.”
”But I still have a lot to show, nya! Praise me!”
There was scant applause.
Lynn's mood was getting worse.
”Let's go swimming, Lynn-San.”
”It's okay, nya... Wow, you're really smooth, nya!”
Lynn was grabbed by the arm and breaks out in a cold sweat when she feels Kaede's breasts against her.
”Master, you too!”
”Uh...? Me?”
When I tried to get up, they pulled me down and forced me to sit down.
I was quickly handed a bowl that had sake in it.
”Are you seriously planning to stand in the middle of all those women and leave us alone?”
”That's right, Toru. You're staying to drink sake with us.”
”That's right, men drink with men.”
I was caught between Poloa and Bax, so I could not escape this incarceration.
In front of me, Orlos was smiling with a bottle of alcohol.
I have no choice, I will have to stay put.
”Ggghhh, ggghhh!”
”Stop it... You make me laugh, little fishes... Mnya.”
Bax is snoring and Lynn is squirming while talking in her sleep.
If you look around, you will see that Poloa, Frau and Kaede are sleeping peacefully.
The fire was lit and only Orlos and I were awake.
”You look like you're going to fall asleep at any moment.”
”I think I've had too much to drink.”
”Yeah, this was a lot of fun.”
Rosuke was keeping watch.
Although there's nothing dangerous nearby, the fact that Rosuke is flying around and circling the place makes me feel more at ease.
Orlos pours me another drink and I thank him.
”So, what are you going to do next?”
”What do you mean?”
”As the name of your party indicates, you are going to be traveling, so what's your next destination?”
I thought a bit before answering.
”Actually, I'm waiting for a certain hero. I heard that a round table gathering is going to be held and they are coming to Grigit. According to the calendar, it will be held the day after tomorrow.”
”What are you saying? The roundtable ended yesterday.”
”What?!”
I spilled the Sake due to the surprise.
This can't be, I heard that it was going to be the day after tomorrow!
Did they change the date? Why?!
”You never asked me about the Round Table, so I assumed you weren't interested.”
”Never mind, it was my fault for not giving notice in advance. But why did they speed it up?”
”There was a demon attack at Northstar. I'm sure you've heard about it. We heard about it too, and that's why they decided to move up the date.”
Crack
Without realizing it, I squeezed the container.
Stay calm, we still don't know for sure if Sain has left Grigit.
It's all right. Don't panic. You'll see those three again soon.
Orlos looks at me while holding a new bowl.
