It took us four days to complete the equipment to fit the children's physique.
　Finally, on the day of the children's first hunting trip, the equipment was handed over to them.
　The old man went to the church and handed over the equipment to the children, but of all people, Childs started to change his clothes on the spot. The three boys, but not Angel and Kaede, were indeed a problem.
　Luceris hurriedly took them to the back room.
　And so the children finally got their equipment. Instead, they gave the old man the used equipment they had purchased, but honestly, they didn't need him.

　Angel, Johnny, Rady, and Kai all had the same equipment: breath plates, gauntlets, and leather boots with steel plates. They are also armed with shortswords, demolition knives, bows and arrows, and hand spears. A buckler was also provided as additional equipment.
　The problem with Kaede's armor is that it is a combination of Western armor and Japanese armor, with some parts removed to reduce weight and hinder movement.
　For weapons, we have prepared a sword, a wakizashi, a set of bows and arrows, and a jumonji spear.
　The children dressed in such equipment are as follows: .......

It's so funky. ......
"I'm disappointed in you, old man. ....... What's with the lack of personality?
They're all the same. ...... You cut corners, didn't you?
I don't care as long as I get to eat the meat. ....... I don't care if you can eat meat.

　It was unpopular.
　It is true that fin-de-siecle fashion is highly individualistic. However, in terms of practicality, they are completely meaningless and provide almost no protection.
　In the first place, it is dangerous to expose one's skin when hunting, and it is basic to wear heavy clothing.
　It is powerless against demons with sharp claws and fangs, but effective against plants with thorns and sharp leaves. Some of them are toxic, and it is not good to make a wound and let the poison touch your body.
　In order to protect yourself, practicality is more important than appearance.

You'll be able to find a lot of people who are interested in this.　You'll die in a heartbeat with that gear.
The sisters will cry if you die.
It's inevitable. Let's make some money and upgrade it.
It's a little heavy. ...... I'll have to upgrade it.
Hurry up and give me some meat. ...... Give me some meat!

　It seems that the children have decided that it is not a good idea to worry Luceris. They readily accepted.
　However, the children's movements were awkward due to the weight of their equipment, and it was hard to say if they could hunt with it. Well, it was their first time, so there was nothing to be done.
　Kaede seemed to be satisfied with her gear.

It's not bad: ....... This is my armor: ......

　I'm not sure what to make of it.
　It's hard to believe it's the eyes of a child.

I'm sorry!　I'm really sorry for being so rude!

　And then Lucerys bows her head again and again.
　I don't really mind, but I'm afraid to do so.
　She wore a breath plate over her robe, hand armor, leg armor, a morning star and a kite shield as weapons.
　She looked like a priestess, but it seemed to be standard equipment for priests.

It's a very large shield. Since I'm leading the kids this time, I don't think I need to tank, right?　I'll just do it.
You never know what might happen, so I've equipped myself heavily just in case. If it comes to it, I can act as a shield to buy us some time.
I know you're worried about the children, but aren't you putting in too much effort?　Sometimes, Luceris, you've hunted before, haven't you?
I've done a little training at the monastery. ....... I really needed to raise my rating (level) to learn sacred magic. ....... I thought killing was forbidden in the doctrine.
God's followers are killing. ....... I think they might be saying, 'Demons are unclean, so it's okay to kill them.
"You understand well, don't you?　That's what the bishop said.
It is natural to kill in order to live, but why not give a reason for it? ....... It's okay to kill each other for a good cause while denying the natural order. ......

　We know from history that it is common for religious nations to call for compassion and tolerance, but to start religious wars in the name of the greater good.
We know from history that it is common for religious nations to say that killing each other is a sin, and yet exert military pressure on smaller nations at every turn, and the general public hears about it through rumors, but no one questions it and accepts it as a matter of course.
　It is a sin to kill living things, but it is necessary for people to kill living things in order to obtain sustenance. They deny this fact, but use convenient words to cover it up.
　Even if it is war, it is a necessary evil. It is very convenient.

It's very convenient. "We're willing to kill each other for the good of the country. ...... Where have mercy and tolerance gone?
"I always say a prayer at mealtime to give thanks for the life that feeds us.　I don't mind, but if you think about it, you're eating demons that are supposed to be unclean. It's a little strange, if I do say so myself.
It's hypocritical no matter how you look at it. ......
In that sense, they're natural. They're helping to dismantle meat in a butcher shop. ......
What do those girls ...... do on a regular basis?　I wonder why they're still not independent. ......
I don't know what they do on a regular basis. ...... I've heard that they are occasionally seen in the entertainment district. ......



　These unpredictable kids had an unusually wide range of activities.
　Not only in the old city, but also in the edge of the new city, apparently.
　In the back of the entertainment district, there is a brothel, which is not a place for children to go. These mysterious children are swinging their swords and shields, checking their equipment.
　I wondered where they got such knowledge.

"Come on, let's go!
You can flirt with the sisters all you want, but you're forgetting about us.
We're ready!　I'm ready to kill!
Come on, let's go!　The meat is waiting for us!
"Hmmm ......, the iron sword is in good shape. I can do this. ......

　For the next week, we'll head to a nearby village, find lodging, and then go on a children's hunt in the forest, a favorite hunting ground for low-level mercenaries.
　There is no specific name for the forest, but it is a place where new mercenaries are trained.
　The demons that appear in the forest start with slime, and the strongest demon is said to be a giant boar called [Blast Boar]. Many other demons are said to appear, but they probably come from the Great Dark Green Zone of Furan.
　I didn't know this when I first came to this world, but some of the forests are open as hunting grounds, and mercenaries regularly visit them to secure materials. There is a great demand for demon materials, but the supply cannot keep up, so the mercenary guilds must have taken this measure.
　Although it is a standard demon, its strength is stronger than that of the Rahmah Forest, and it seems to be a good place for children whose skill level is unusually high due to training with Kokko and his friends.
　After all, the higher the skill level, the harder it is to raise the body level. It is more efficient to raise one's rank (level) in the cave forest than to hunt in the Rahmah forest as a safety measure.
　However, the danger is higher and the monsters are much stronger than the ones you can kill in the forest.

By the way, what happened to that carriage?　It doesn't seem to be a church-owned carriage .......

　A dormitory carriage is parked next to the church.
　A dark, thin, middle-aged man was sitting in the carriage, waiting for a guest to board.

The priest rented it for me. You'll have to rent a carriage in the village on your way back, but if you need to, you can just walk back.
"I didn't know there was such a business as renting carriages ....... I've never heard of it. ......

　Carriage rentals are mainly used by people from rural areas who come to the city to do business.
　Not all peasants own a cart, though they need one to do business at the city market first thing in the morning. In most cases, they are owned by the village and are often shared.
　Those who live in rural areas also need wagons to do business at the market, and if there are not enough of them, they use these rented wagons.
　Each village had its own office, and business was conducted by traveling back and forth over a certain distance.
　Naturally, there were also masters. You can think of it as a kind of transportation business.

...... Are you sure you won't be attacked by bandits?　I think we're sitting ducks.
I've heard that bandits don't attack this kind of wagon.　I've heard that bandits don't attack this kind of carriage because it's not very profitable and it's easy to be wanted.

　Only wandering merchants and farmers use rented carriages.
　The big merchants often prepare their own carriages and travel from town to town.
　Small villages were also not used, and most of the time, they traveled with guards along the streets. Attacking them would be of no benefit, and these rental carriages were run by the mercenary guild.
　The distance and arrival time were always set, so if the carriage was delayed even for a day, it would be immediately known that something had happened. If there is a problem, mercenaries will be dispatched immediately, and if it is determined that the city has been attacked by bandits, a siege will be set up in the blink of an eye.
　Horses are also branded, so you can't even escape on them. Furthermore, although there are only a few of them, there are also carriages that are monitored every hour by magic tools, and it is said that if something happens, you will be notified.
　Well, even so, it's not absolutely safe. 　

It's very well done, .......
The bandits won't attack because it's necessary. If you're not wanted, you can use it.
I'm not sure if it's a legitimate way to get away, or if it's the first thing they'll notice if they recognize you.　Well, it's no wonder they can't do anything wrong when they're operating in an organized fashion. ...... The risk is too great.
I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. The children are already in the carriage.
Oh, I forgot ....... You can get a lot of information from everyday conversation.

　It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your money.
　In the first place, Rousselis's source of information is Jahne, and she has been raising the rank of mercenary step by step. On the other hand, the old man is not familiar with this kind of common sense because he temporarily became a mercenary with the help of the duke's family.
　Incidentally, the guild registration of S-rank mercenaries has not been cancelled yet. It didn't matter to Xelloss, but the mercenary guild didn't seem to be willing to let go of their valuable strength.
　In fact, he didn't know at the time that he was permanently registered as a trump card.

I'm sure you'll agree.
「「「「 Oh, ------!　My buddies are going to do it too. 」」」」

　My partner and I have five cockerels. Each of them has one bird as an escort.
　Perhaps the cocoons are meant to be the children's brothers and sisters.

Let's hope nothing happens to them.
I hope nothing happens to you." "I think that's a very ominous way to start off ......, don't you?

　Kaede's comment was not a metaphor.

It's not a metaphor. "Oh, you're going to ......?　Hehehe, it's boiling. ...... Hehehehe ......
「「「「「「 I have a bad feeling about this ...... 」」」」」」

　The look in the guru's eyes was awful.


　His eyes are bloodshot and saliva is flowing from his mouth, as if he is an addict who has dabbled in some dubious drug.

I'm not sure what to say.　I'm sure you'll be fine.　Now, I'm taking you to a ...... high heaven of fun!　Hahahahahahahahahaha!

　And then an emergency siren like a fire engine comes out of the running carriage.
　There seems to be a device attached to the wheels that uses the rotation of the wheels to produce a sound.

"Hee hee hee, this fierce beat is making my DQN heart boil! My honeys are the best!　No one can stop us now, no ---- stop until the end of the line!　No more stopping us.
　Rest?　There's no such thing as a break.　We'll make you all squeal... Did you close your a**h*le?　I'm going to make you cum now... ---- ---I'll be back.　

　And then the carriage started running at high speed.
　The carriage seemed to change its personality when it held the reins.

The horse is Sleipnir?　You've got to be kidding me, how did a holy beast end up here ......?
"Hee-ha-ha-ha!　You've got a tongue in your cheek, huh?　You guys should shut up and count the stains on the back of the truck!　I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.
「「「「「 help me! 」」」」」
"Gehhhhhhhhhh!　You have a nice voice, don't you?　Hee hee, I think I'm going to cum!　But hey, we're not like this yet, are we?　Let me enjoy myself till the end, YHaaaaaaa!　

　The carriage goes on and on, never stopping. The carriage will not stop.
　The rental carriage is indeed owned by the Mercenaries Guild, but apparently there were no proper personnel in charge.
　In the event that you have any kind of questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site. There was nothing but madness.

　The speed and shaking of the carriage was so great that the old men were fast losing consciousness.
　In their fading consciousness, they heard the man who was in charge say, "What, have you already come?　My heart and crotch are already pumping!　Hee-ha-ha-ha! Heehahahaha!
　But no one could even complain anymore. But no one could complain anymore, because they all fell into the deep darkness. .......

　The next thing I knew, I was in a long room.

　I found myself in a quiet town. It looked more like a city than a village.
　The village near the Far Flan Deep Green Zone was a straight road, and the forest we wanted was right beside the village. It is also a famous hunting ground for newcomers and mid-level mercenaries.
　The village was originally built as a base for transporting goods to the fort, and many mercenaries came to the village to collect medicinal herbs and materials for demons from the nearby forest, and the village developed.
　It was about ten years ago that many merchants came to the village to collect materials from mercenaries who wanted to raise their rank (level).
　It is located in the middle of the city of Santor and Fort Nogus, which faces the Far Flan Deep Green Zone, and the distance between the two makes it relatively safe for bandits to operate. This is because if anything happens, a siege net will be formed immediately.
　However, most people tend to avoid danger, so most of the people who come to these villages are mercenaries or other bloodthirsty people. Naturally, there was a lot of trouble, and vigilantes and guards were always on duty.
　The carriage was already parked at a stop belonging to the mercenary guild, and there was no sign of the madman or Sleipnir, who was pulling the carriage. The old man got up and looked around, he could see six horses in the stable beside him.

"...... is alive. I'm ... alive ...!

　What fills my heart is the joy of having survived the horror and the relief that comes from the bottom of my heart.
　It was a moment when I really thought the world was beautiful.

But then, unexpectedly, I saw the three horsemen of Sleipnir: ....... Who is that man? ...You're not a reincarnation, are you?

　This reminds me of a raid in Sword and Sorcery.
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea. I recall a similarly high-strung fool among them.
　A knightly summoner who straddled Sleipnir and charged into the front line with a huge lance sticking out. I can't speak for others, but he was an incomprehensible being who preferred to force his way into the battle even though he was a magician.
　Originally, summoners were supposed to be in the rearguard, mages who fortified the vanguard with contracted monsters and holy beasts, and attacked from the rear with magic.
　However, the summoner wore the equipment of a knight and happily charged into the front line. He also showed up in other raids.
　In one raid, Xellos said, "Hahahahahahahahaha!　Die, die, die, die!　I'll make a f*cking beat out of your screams, and you'll pay for it with your lives.　Come on~ let me hear your screams~ let me see your hot and loud shouts~!　Gahhahahahahahahaha! He was shouting something incomprehensible, making the people around him lose their minds.

I'm not sure if it's the same as ...... or ........ I don't think so. ......?



　Honestly, I don't even want to remember.
　After all, the old man was once run over by a summoner during a raid.
　If he hadn't been a high level player, he would have died and would not have been able to return to the front line. And even though he did such a spectacular thing, I've never heard of him.
　He was an enigmatic player whose rumors were the stuff of urban legend.

"Yes!　The kids are at .......

　I looked around the back of the truck and saw that all the kids were rolling their eyes.
　It was no wonder they had experienced the violent outburst. It is fortunate that no one was knocked down and only fainted, but I wonder if they have been traumatized.

I'm glad that no one was knocked unconscious.　Why would you let a dangerous man like that ......
Hyah!
"......?

　In the event that you have any questions regarding where to put your hand, please contact us.
　You can't see where the old man is holding his hand, but you can feel a bad feeling in your heart.

"・・・・・・・・・・・

　I moved my head slowly, as if I were a machine, and saw that my hand was touching something terrible.
　The trouble is, in the process of turning my head, I rubbed my hand a couple of times to make sure it was soft.
　I guess I don't have to tell you that now.

"・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

　A man with an awkward expression and Luceris with a boiled face.
　The two stare at each other in silence. And yet, the old man's hand is still there.
　Yes, to her ample breasts. .......

I'm sorry.　I'm sorry, I didn't realize this was happening. ......!　What a joy ...... No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
What?　It's okay if you didn't do it on purpose,......, but get your hands off me quickly!　I'm not going to be able to stand up like this. ......
"Oh!　I'm sorry!　I don't think I'd want to leave if I knew what I was doing - no, I'd leave right away. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to ....... I really didn't mean to!

　It was a happy and embarrassing happening. But that didn't stop the person in question from being upset.
　In my long life as a bachelor, I never thought this kind of romantic comedy would come to pass.
　I'm an old man who feels strongly inside that I would have liked to have rubbed him a little more if I could have. I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.

You can find a lot of people who are interested in this. I'm not sure I've ever seen such a happy and embarrassing turn of events at my age. ......
"Ugh ...... my first time with a man~....... I'm so embarrassed, I can't even look at my face anymore. ...... This is the kind of thing I want to do for my wife. ......
Do you want to come?　To my wife ....... If you want, we can do it tonight. ......
Please don't make jokes like that!　It's even more embarrassing. ......
No, I'm quite serious. I'm thinking of crawling into her bedroom tonight.
Please don't think that!　I'm not ready for that yet. ......
...... What?
"・・・・・・・・・・・・.

　The old man said it as a joke to hide his embarrassment, but Luceris' self-destruction made it even more awkward.
I'm not sure I'm ready for this," he said, "but when I am, please eat me good.
　We both turned our heads in silence, and an awkward silence flowed. Today's junior high school students are much more advanced.

「「「「You should get married, ....... ......」」」」

　The two of them were watched by the children who were awake before they knew it.

I'm sure you're not the only one.
It's not impossible, since we noticed it too. But I'm surprised he didn't get knocked off at that speed.
That guy was awful.
I almost died. You can't die until you achieve your dreams.
To live a life of self-indulgence. But it's our dream.
"My ...... flesh is covered with ......... gravy...
"Kai, what dreams have you been dreaming?

　Apparently, the children had a hard time with the speed of the carriage.
　If you think about it, most people in this world walk on their own feet and use carriages for long distances.
　There is no such thing as a vehicle that can run at ridiculous speeds, and the only thing that can exceed the speed of a horse is a bird at best.
　But Sleipnir is different. Its speed is equivalent to that of a runaway car on a freeway, up to 130 kilometers per hour. And it's a holy beast.
　If someone blocks its path, it will crush them, and if it is a fallen tree, it will crush it with lightning. It is a ferocious horse with a violent temperament that destroys all foreign enemies.

I'm not sure if the ...... mercenary guild is breeding Sleipnir though.　It's not like they're running around like that.
"What is Slaipnir?　Is it a demon or something?


That's where ...... Slaypoonir is the name of a holy beast in the form of a horse. It's not a demon, but it's temperamental. They are not easily accustomed to people, and if they find someone they don't like, they will kick them away without mercy. It is also famous in mythology as a divine beast that gods ride. ......
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.　That's a holy beast ......, and it looks like it has a very violent temperament.　The horses look so cute. ......
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. You can't get rid of it when it starts to rampage. ....... If you find one, I recommend you stay away from it.

　Holy Beasts are creatures that are different from monsters.
　They are much stronger than Hexenbiests and specialize in a single attribute, making them untouchable.
　A low-level Holy Beast can be as strong as a high-level Hexenbiest.

Now that we've arrived at the village, what's next, lodging?
"Is there an inn in this village?　To be honest, I don't know anything about it except for the town of Santor. ......
Don't worry, Sister!
We can survive in the open!
Anywhere there's meat is good. ......
I'm not really a street kid!
I'm used to camping out on long journeys with my parents. No problem.
You ...... are so tough. How come you've never been independent?　I feel like I can live anywhere...

　The orphaned children seem to be fine with camping out. They are really strong.
　They have been sleeping and waking up in back alleys and scavenging garbage from restaurants.
　He has a strong stray dog spirit and an unusually high hunger spirit. He may even be stronger than a mercenary who has just started his training.

By the way, where are your buddies, the cockerels?　"By the way, where are your partner's coccoons? They were in the carriage, I believe, but I can't see them.
I don't see them. I wonder where the chickens have gone?

　The cockerels disappeared after the old man fainted.
　They were there when we got into the carriage, but now they're gone.

Maybe he just shook them off?
I'm sure they'll be fine.　It's not like they're easy to shake off.
They're our buddies. They'll be looking for their prey.
In case he gets hungry...
Kai!　Those cockerels are your buddies, aren't they?　You're not seriously going to eat them, are you?　And besides, I heard it tastes so bad it's not even chicken!

　What is a buddy?　The old man can't keep up with Kai's unfathomable appetite.
　When he's hungry, he'll even eat his partner. He's more of an emergency ration than a sidekick.

"That's fine, girl. Why don't you leave these kids alone and play with us?
"Let me go, please!　Hey, somebody!
What are you asking for help for?　It's like we're doing something wrong.
"Yeah, yeah, you're gonna do good things with us now, okay?　You can't talk about people like they're bad people...
『『『『『 cockerel-------- ---Guilty! (Guilty!) 』』』』』

　---Beki!　Gosssss!　Gucha!　Doggone it!　Geshi-geishi!　Boggle!　

"・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

　It looks like the cockerels are safe.
　They seem to be quickly defeating the evil that is spreading in the village.

I'm glad they're okay... they're doing well. I wonder if it's a habit?
"Well, isn't vigorous clearly an act of over-defense?　I'm hearing some very dangerous noises.
It's bad enough you're trying to get attacked by cocksuckers. Forced pick-ups are a nuisance, and you won't be able to complain if you're defeated.　
I'm sure you're not the only one.　You don't want to get sued later, do you?
Don't worry. Just listen carefully.

　Luceris did as he was told and listened outside.

"Shit!　They're still alive, aren't they?
"Why don't we just bury them while we can?　They're just a bunch of overzealous scum, and no one cares if they go missing.


"Those cocksuckers did a good job. If they were human, I'd buy them a drink.
"I hope they die!　You scum!
My daughter was attacked too.　She's been too scared to go out since that day!　I like that.

　Apparently, they didn't like her very much. Don't worry about the cleanup.
　The villagers were ready to take care of it, and I don't know what happened to those who were spanked by Kokko.

Right?
Are you sure?　Shouldn't we report this to the guards and bring them to justice?
Mr. Luceris, the law is not for the people. The law is not for the people. If you know the law well enough, you can make all kinds of back roads and judge good people as bad. If you think the law protects the people, you're a fool, aren't you?
I don't know why that's so compelling. ......?　Did you get into some kind of trouble in the past?
Yes, my own sister caused some trouble....

　I've been there. Yes, the law does not always protect the good guys.
　Even in criminal cases, if the evidence is not there, the case can be dropped. Even if the person who brought the case to court is a scumbag, if there is no conclusive evidence, the case will be won and the victim may be tried as the perpetrator.
　In the end, it is always better to protect yourself.
　In the case of a bogus divorce settlement, there is a difference in evidence between a diary and a mere note, even if you have written down how vicious the other party is.
　It is not always easy to convince a judge of the authenticity of a diary. Even if it results in the death of a person. As the saying goes, "dead men tell no tales," and if there is no decisive factor, the trial will be meaningless.
　In my case, I was somehow involved as a witness in my sister's divorce mediation.
　I didn't know anything about marital affairs, but I was astonished at the fact that other witnesses had an impression of my sister as a good person.
　No matter how much she testified about her sister's viciousness, her husband had an affair with her first, so the case ended in a settlement and the trial went on in vain. Therefore, I don't rely on the law.

"Well, I don't really care about that. My priority now is to find a place to stay.
That's right. I'm sure even a village with this much development can find a place to stay.
Where are the children?

　When we left the hut where the carriages were stored, we found ourselves in a bustling village that was still in the process of development. After a short walk, we could easily spot the children.
　But the problem was that they were in front of an inn.

"Pops!　"Hey, I hear this inn is open.
You notice the pink sign?
"Anywhere you can stay, anywhere you can eat meat.
Do you think you'll get fat eating all that meat?
But why is there a naked man and woman on the sign?　I don't think it's an inn.
"Wow. ----------- What?

　Yes, a picture of a man and a woman entwined in a black silhouette on a gaudy pink sign.
　It was definitely an inn designed for that purpose, and was too unsuitable to stop at with the children. Before that, I had no intention of staying at such an inn with my children, and it took a lot of courage to even enter.
　Choosing this kind of inn should be a last resort.

Love hotels... they exist. Well, people are in heat all year round... ...... What kind of village is this...
This sign is too blatant, isn't it?　If you're seen coming out of an inn like this, ......

　The meaning of "motel" is different in Japan and abroad.
　In Japan, a motel is a love hotel, but in other countries, it is a place where drivers who travel long distances by truck often stay.
　Of course, they are sometimes used for such activities between men and women, but most of them are treated like business hotels.
　However, the inn in front of me was a love hotel, no matter how you looked at it.

3,000 gol for a rest... 6,000 gol for a night. I don't care how cheap it is, I don't want to stay here. ......
"I wonder who started this inn....　What is that?

　The signboard read "300 years in business, Hotel New Moon Knight Tsukishima" in big letters, and the name of the hotel's founder was somehow engraved in the corner, and that name was Kenji Tsukishima.

The founder of the hotel is a brave man!　How did he become the manager of a love hotel, I'm really curious what happened to him!　And it's been three hundred years since it was founded!　It's a long-established business!
The first owner of this hotel was a brave man!　I'm not sure what they were thinking.

　The fact that the founder's name is engraved on the sign is strange. Did he really want to leave his name behind?
　Moreover, it was a long-established love hotel that had been in business for three hundred years. Moreover, it seems that there are hotels like this all over the world, a kind of conglomerate scale.
　There is a notice board in front of the inn that gives details of the hotel's history. It is like a long-established noodle shop.
　As long as there is s*xual desire in this world, there will be no end to the number of users of this business.

「「「「 Hey, man, let's stay here. It's cheap. 」」」」
"Not here. -----!　It's obviously a hotel for another purpose. -----!


"Mmm ... what's wrong with that?

　I can't tell the kids.
　No, we need s*x education, but we can't teach it here.

Absolutely not here. Let's go to a normal inn...
"Yes.... It's not good for the children's education, and I don't like the inn.

　It's not a place for a priest to stay, even an apprentice. If you look closely, you will see that there are many houses around that run inns.
　The village seems to be run by the hotel business and agriculture.
　If there are many places to stay, it is better to stay at a cheap inn that looks nice.
　The old men decided to take their time and choose a good inn that suits them.

　◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

　In the end, they decided to stay at a log cabin looking inn.
　When we went through the door, we were greeted by a friendly old woman at the counter.

Welcome. Are you staying here?
Yes, we're planning to stay for about three days. We may have to extend the stay a few days.
There are only two rooms left, but I'm sure the kids will be fine.
Do I have to pay in advance? Do you pay in advance, or do you pay for three days?

　The name of the inn is "In the Shade of the Forest".
　There are only six rooms, but the impression of the inn is that it is very clean and well maintained, and has a relaxing and calm atmosphere. It was a stark contrast to the inn we had just seen.
　The scent of the wood and the sorry state of the furnishings were calming.

I'll show you to your room then.

　The old man followed the guide of the elderly woman.
　One of the rooms he was shown to was the room where the children stayed, with two triple bunk beds on either side of the room.
　The room itself was reasonably spacious, and the interior was designed to accommodate a party of mercenaries.
　At this point, Xelloss should have realized. The room itself was reasonably large, and was decorated to accommodate a mercenary party.

"‥‥‥‥‥‥ Really?
"Ugh ... .

　The room that the old man and Luceris were shown to was occupied by a large double bed.

"Mmmm, you two can have this room, okay?　Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.
No, it's not good for a man and a woman to be in the same room...
Yes, it is!　There are no other rooms.
There's no room. Well, you can make love all you want without worrying about me.
We're not in a relationship yet, though.

　She smiled and gave me a thumbs up.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. "I know, I know... You're worried about the age difference, aren't you?　Don't worry, I'll take care of everything!
What do you mean, "leave it to me"?
No, it's not a good idea to share a room with a bride-to-be. There's an empty bed in there, Luceris.
You don't have to be shy, you know.　It's good to be young, you can burn up.　This room is soundproofed.
What?　No, listen to what people are saying!　What are you talking about? You sound like the neighbor lady who arranges blind dates!
"I don't care, I don't care. The relationship between a man and a woman can only be understood through physical confirmation. Don't be shy.

　I hate useless consideration.
　With a big smile on her face, as if to say, 'Don't worry, I understand everything,' she nods her head and walks away as if to say she did a good job. He doesn't understand that he has taken care of nothing.
　Xelloss and Luceris are left alone in the room with an awkward silence.

　Incidentally, the last bed in the children's room was occupied by a group of cocoons.
　In addition, the children were running around wildly, leaving the two of them with no choice but to sleep and wake up in a room with a double bed.
　The old man was caught between reason and instinct.
