　What broke the deadlock was a voice coming down from further up the stairs.

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

"Oh, Mr. Euril, it's an honor to meet you here."

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

　Coming down the stairs with light steps was a man named Chiru, whom we had met before.

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

　Behind him, a woman of the Midoriwa tribe waved her hand in greeting.

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

"How are you?"

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

"Oh, Mr. Chita. Yes, I'm fine.

"Hey, I'm in the middle of something. Can you please get out of my way?"

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

　Kikiriri blames him for interrupting in a snide tone, and Chiru looks aghast.

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

"Are you trying to pick a fight with the mud-breaking hero?　You are being reckless, you know that?

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

I don't need you to worry about me.

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

"Don't fight~"

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

　Chita's slow speech had dampened his mood, and Kikiriri clicked his tongue and turned away.

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

　She then leaned back slightly to make room for him to pass.

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

"I'll let you off the hook this time. Just get on with it..."

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

"Are you going back up there, hero?"

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

"Yeah, it's a little early, but I'm going to rest on the sixth floor for the rest of the day."

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

"That's a lot of work. How about staying here for the night?　It wouldn't be a bad idea to talk to each other for the first time in a while."

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

"What?　What are you talking about?

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

No, you don't have enough beds.

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

"Two people can fit in there if you pack them up, hero. The floor will be enough for the men, and fortunately, I think most of them are thin.

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

"Don't make up your mind. This bed belongs to the Flame of Platinum.

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

"Then everyone here is unqualified."

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

　The twins, who had already changed their affiliation, bit their lower lip in unison at Chiru's words.

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

　Now the air was awkward, and Sola suddenly sneezed cutely.

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

　This is when Thor finally remembered why he had come all the way back here.

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

"I'm sorry, but that will have to wait for another time. I'm in a bit of a hurry.
