”but Cyra likes him”
Takeshi+ visibly faltered
I took a big gulp fro
Ilya's face looked a bit displeased
”But you still like her, don't you?”
”!”
”There's no guarantee But it'll never be over like this, will it? Your love”
Ah, coet the feeling I'd been asked for advice like this a lot
I'd listened to people's worries so much it had tired me out
I still couldn't leave theh
”Have soood I'll join you when you drink your worries away again”
I ood smile
”Sis”
Sis?
Oh, who cares
——The case of Kenji
When Takeshi+ had forirl and moved to a seat at the counter
”You drinking, Kenji?”
”Kenji?”
He looked at me quizzically when I sat down next to him
”Oh, you”
”Weren't you going to chat me up if you won the match?”
””
”Heh, I know, you used me as an excuse You're also quite the pussy”
”What would you know about it!”
He hadn't done anything in particular, but Ilya arningly knocking her knife's grip against the counter
It ood sound
The faces of the staff crah
”Dunno You think keeping quiet and running away is manly?”
”!”
”Are her feelings or your feelings ever going to settle if you're acting that vague?”
I ordered the next big uy at the counter
Ilya seemed about to cry
”I'm an outsider, so in the end whatever I say is irresponsible If I were in your shoes, I'd probably be lost, too But you know,” I stopped for a moment and smiled at the boorish Kenji ”If those two are important to you, then treat theret it”
”You're”
Kenji looked like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders
”Sorry you're right You're a good woman, Sis”
Sis?
”Have a good love, Kenji”
I raised thein my hand for a toast
hm?
By the hat a here?
When I returned to the table we'd been at in the beginning, I patted the handso, on the back
”Owouch! Wait, no? Wait, what are you doing, silver Miss!”
”Why so gloomy? Thanks to you, at least those two boys' mood has cleared!”
”Hahh? And your tone?”
The handsouy quizzically looked at Ilya
Ilya shook her head in exasperation
”So like this is fine, too”
”S-sure?”
I took one coin fro at my waist
I flicked it onto the table
”It's been a blast If this isn't enough for everyone's tabs, you pay the rest”
”A g-gold”
A noticeably loud cheer arose around us
Without turning towards them, I say bye and waved as I left, my back toward them
Instead, Ilya h
”Sis you're so cool”
Sis?
I left the dining hall in a pretty good mood
——The next day
The moment I woke up, I was assaulted by a furious headache
”My head hurts what's going on”
””
Ilya looked at me with a difficult mien Why is it you don't answer me!?
”Did she do soon lass?” Till, who had returned at soh half-opened eyes
Just what had happened to me!?
”It was nothing of importance, but I believe it would be better for Milady to abstain fro”
I didn't catch the latter half properly, but Till nodded exasperatedly
”One will head out again You at least on lass's class-up,” Till said and strode out of the room
Her harshness kinda makes her cute, that Till
”Mmm I wonder e have to checkout If we stay another two nights in this room, maybe we should make reservations already”
I took the coins fro on the shelf
”H?”
”you are is, Milady”
”I-I do? If you say so, Ilya”
This is weird
Anyway, my head hurts and I can't think properly
”Sorry, Ilya May I lay down for a while?”
”Of course, Alice-sa you some water?”
”Yes, please”
”Hehe, as I thought I like this Alice-sama”
”Eh?”
”But that one really is”
For soot up froet water
”That one?”
I don't really get it, but there's a lot for us to do today
As Till said, Ilya's class-up is indispensable if we're thinking about the future
We need to quickly find the Ruins around here and get it done with
If it's Ilya and I as we are now, there's no e can't make it
Also, I want to take an easy job from the Guild here
Have to pay traveling expenses
Besides, leaving aside whether I buy it or not, I need new equipment
I picked up the Lightning Rod at my bedside
”Since it's cracked, I guess I can't use it anymore”
In fact, when I had recklessly gone out on my own and thrust it into thejewel cracked and it doesn't give off lightning strikes anymore
With that, in co but a wooden stick
No ic, it's still harsh
”But I still don't want to throw it away”
I gently put the rod back and sighed
Either way, there's a lot to do
It wasn't the time to remain in bed
But thinking really made my head hurt
”Here, Alice-sama”
Ilya ca
”Ah, thanks”
While being healed by Ilya's slass and drank
