Episode 28.5 (1/2)

The following day, Lecan and Arios went down to have a meal at Lady Turtle (Fengel) period, and left the inn at two of Fengel.

Afterward, <Good-for-Nothing (Grindam)> left and came back in the evening.

<Grindam> is a three-persons party.

Shortspearsman, Tsuinga.

Dualaxeman, Bruska.

Mage Yoana.

These three members of <Grindam> have a slightly unusual personal history.

All three were born in Tsubolt, and became adventurers here, but Dungeon Tsubolt is too tough for beginner adventurers. Thus they each went to different dungeons outside town to hone their strength. At this point of time, none of them knew one another.

Eventually they all met at Dungeon Sotel. And formed a party together. Which was when they found out they hailed from the same city.

And every one of them also had the same goal, to go explore Dungeon Tsubolt one day.

They went home to Tsubolt together and began their exploration of <Dungeon of Swords>.

It's already been three years since they first stayed at <Rafin's Rock Terrace Inn>.

They have been slowly working their way deeper into the dungeon, and today they're one of the <Depth Walkers>. They're now first-rate adventurers whose fame is known throughout the city.

”It would please me if you could heat the bath.”

Tsuinga tends to speak like an old man. Brawny and muscular with a bald head to boot, he looks 10 years older than he actually is.

”I'm taking the first dip, you hear me.”

Yoana has a good physique for a woman. Her rather rough speech doesn't help her looking 5 years older than her actual age.

”Okay then, I'll go in after you.”

Dualaxeman, Bruska has a medium build with no particular feature that stands out, but due to his awfully calm demeanor, he looks 7-8 year older than his age.

<Grindam> looks like a gathering of people in their 30s. However, they are all only 27 in reality, they've still got a long road ahead of them.

The reason why Nark knows their ages is because Nark's father and Bruska's father are good friends, Nark's father even taught Bruska his adventurer's knowledge. Nark's father also gave dual axes he found in this dungeon's depth to Bruska. Due to that circumstance, Nark knows Bruska well, and since the other two are of the same age as Bruska, naturally he's ended up knowing theirs too.

The bathroom is connected to the dining room through a door in the back. The tub is barrel-shaped, you heat up the water by putting and kindling firewood below. As it's got walls, roofs and a door, you can get in even in winter. It's located in a secluded area in the yard, hidden away from the streets. There's a big open window inside the bath with a clear view on vegetable and flowers growing in the garden. <Rafin's Rock Terrace Inn> is an inn where you can take a bath.
