Good evening.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Good evening. Here's your sake. It's a dry sake that is rumored to be gaining popularity in King's Landing. Oh, are you okay with dry?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yeah, I'm fine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Two bottles?　Or three?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's been a while since I've had a drink, let's not overdo it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

One bottle is fine. It's got the right amount of alcohol, doesn't it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Really?"　Well, let me know if you run out."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I receive my drink and head to the desk at the back of the common room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The place is a bit secluded, so it is suitable for drinking alone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, Dora!　The way you talk!　You're supposed to be polite to your guests!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As I was about to sit down at the desk, I heard Salifa's voice from behind me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I smile a little at that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see that I have been warned many times to be polite, but it hasn't helped much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Dora seems to be paying attention, but she is soon back to normal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess one of the reasons why they can't fix it is that the guests are in the mood for a good, usual Dora.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I take the cork off the liquor and enjoy the aroma.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Fill the glass and take a sip.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I feel the sensation of a hot tickle in my throat for the first time in a long time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Phew~"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Delicious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Only because Dora recommends it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Here you go, druid.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nut salad on the desk?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I turned my gaze to Mr. Salifa, who smiled kindly at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ivy-san made this for me to accompany my drink.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Really?　Thank you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She's a really good girl. Even after a meal, it's bad for you if you only drink alcohol. But since she won't be able to eat that much, she said she'd just make enough nuts for me to snack on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Indeed, since it was after dinner, I intended to enjoy only alcohol.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But a little something would have been nice, and Ivy understood that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It really is a waste of a trip for me, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Please take your time and enjoy yourself."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I put the nuts in my mouth, they are tangy and pungent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It goes extremely well with sake.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Could it be that they asked me what kind of alcohol I wanted to drink and made it for me?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll have to thank them well later.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But still, huh!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not going to make it, am I?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Why didn't I see Mr. Rose's skill and realize right away that I needed to take action?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Unconsciously, I put the nuts in my mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The tangy taste makes me drink more.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not overburdening Ivy, am I?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm a one-armed man no matter how hard I try.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I am definitely a drag compared to the rest of them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Even though I knew this would happen, I wanted to travel with them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm selfish, aren't I?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ahhh, but Ivy would be mad at me again if she knew I was thinking this way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She's a really sweet girl.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

On the journey to come to this village, I had an injury.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was frustrated by the injury in a place that I couldn't handle with one arm, and I took it out on Ivy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ivy easily forgave me after I quickly cooled down and apologized over and over again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But something unyielding was brewing inside me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A few days later, I suggested that we find a replacement for me, 'because I couldn't protect Ivy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The next thing I knew, I was pinched as hard as I could on the cheek.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was with all my might, and that one hurt.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I looked at Ivy in surprise and she was really angry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was surprised to see her expression for the first time, and as I stared at her, she said, 'I'm not traveling with you to be protected by Mr. Druid. I'm traveling with you because being with you makes my heart warm and warm and happy and makes me smile!　I never thought of accompanying anyone else!　If Mr. Druid stops traveling, I will travel alone!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, no.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My face is smiling.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can't help it, I've never been told like that before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... No, I was just avoiding people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a good time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not sure what's wrong with being selfish." I guess."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That was my response to Ivy when I told her that even though I was one-armed, I was Ivy's traveling companion because of my selfishness.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Everyone is selfish. That's how people are. If the person who accepts it says it's okay, then there's no problem! That's right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Okay, I have to change my mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If they find out that I'm feeling sorry for myself again, they'll pinch my cheeks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That really hurts.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ivy seemed to be in pain too, because she was rubbing her finger away from her cheek.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No goofing around, good!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I tried to pour the liquor from the bottle, it wouldn't come out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It seems I drank it all while I was thinking things over.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What should I do?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Do I go back to my room or get another bottle?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hooyah."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A new bottle of sake rides on the desk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see that Dora has placed a new bottle on the desk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Thank you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's drink some more.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, I've got a guest. What do you want?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A guest?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was surprised to see it was Commander Toubro.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Commander Toubro?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He wants to talk to you about something, but it's late and it can wait until tomorrow, can't it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is it about the magic stone?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If that's the case, should I talk to him as soon as possible?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll be fine. I'll see you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But when I looked around, I saw a few overnight guests chatting and laughing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is this a story we can tell here?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Do you want to rent a place?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If it's a place, you can use the dining room, it's closed at this time."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you very much. There you go then."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I grab a drink and a glass from the desk and head for the cafeteria.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Looking at the clock in the cafeteria, I see that it is already past eleven o'clock.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Should I go tell Ivy that I'm coming?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But I should not do that, because it might make Ivy sad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Besides, at this hour, she should be asleep by now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I sit down at a little distance from the dining room door.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sure no one can hear what I'm saying here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, I should have gotten another cup.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Should I go get it now?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sorry it's late."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

While I was wondering what to do, Commander Tableau came to the cafeteria.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess it can't be helped.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Here you go."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Dora puts a bottle of alcohol and a glass on the desk and walks out of the cafeteria.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's what I'd expect.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sorry for coming on such short notice."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, it's no problem."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The face of Commander Toubroe shows clear signs of fatigue.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

However, his expression is completely different from when we met before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It is a completely calm expression.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I take the lid off the liquor in front of Commander Toubroe and pour the liquor into a cup.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It seems we have decided on a direction," he said. Congratulations."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you." Well, it's just the beginning."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The cups are lightly clinked together and the sake is poured into the mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, I forgot the sake accompaniment that Ivy made.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... No, it was already gone after I ate it all up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Too bad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I came to thank you. I came to thank Mr. Druid and Ivy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You're going out of your way at this hour to tell me about the magic stone?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Um, I think I talked to Pria a few days ago.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You mean the "smile" that Ivy conveyed?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That surprised me too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was surprised at that, too, because she had no idea she was talking about Gothos's smile.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My former commander was a smiling man, too," she said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Commander Toubroe said this and slurped down his drink in his cup with a gulp.
