23 The Warriors Res (2/2)

”Yes, why not?”

Calm reigned in the normally loud room. The complexion of the pale Irion turned red instantly and he dashed in front of his leader to avoid any misunderstanding.

”NO! We brought the little girl for her to have a meal. That's it!”

The others were still a little bit perplexed, but seeing the excessive reaction of Irion they resumed their meals. The Proud of Axes was still a very respectable group and it has done many good deeds in the last years. That small kid was probably lucky and instead of bread, she got a full meal. Only when Alyssia, the bartender, asked another question, did the situation turned weird again.

”Only a meal? Not a bath or some new clothes, look at that poor thing.”

It's true that after one looked at her, she was rather pitiful. A dress riled with holes, a skin burned and injured.

”That's true, well, a bath it is then.” Khozak instantly took care of the matter.

”And you will do it?” Alyssia asked with a strange gaze.

”Of co…” ”NO!” The berserk tried to speak before the small priest jumped in front of him and stopped what he was saying. Irion was truly baffled by the number of embarrassing things his companion was capable of saying. A grown man never washes a little girl if he is not his father. Unless he is a predator. Staring at Khozak, he asked Alyssia what he wanted.

”Alyssia, I am certain that one of your employees can take care of that. Why are you asking such a silly thing hehe?”

Under the weird gaze of the bartender, Irion was sweating a bit. They were the good guys here, why did he end up like that? Finally, she retracted her death threat and wore her most beautiful smile.

”Of course Irion, I was just joking. Come here little sister, tell me your name?” The giant bearman helped the little girl descend without any problem.

”Leilade” The cold voice made the cheerful woman stiffen a bit but she quickly recovered, not letting anyone noticed it. Her long red hair was almost touching Leilade. Alyssia made a signal with another employee and she took the hand of the kid.

”Don't worry, you are fine here. I will personally take care of you.” The two of them left the room and the two adventurers that were standing still, not knowing what they should do at this point.
