On the way back to the plaza, I suddenly felt uncomfortable.

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

It was stronger than the discomfort I had felt in the plaza where I had been sleeping during the defeat.

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

Following the discomfort, I felt the presence of several people.

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

I almost stop for a moment, but there are not many people where I am.

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

I hurry toward the plaza, taking care not to run.

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

A place with too many people is no good, because they will distract your attention.

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

But if there are too few people, you can't call for help if something happens.

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

With the warning I heard from Mr. Rattler in mind, I pick my way back to the square.

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

We bowed to the manager and entered the plaza.

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

We are also told to check for signs before entering, as we may be ambushed in our tent.

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

Scared, I search for signs from a short distance away from the tent.

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

Thank God, there is no sign.

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

I enter the tent, close the entrance tightly, and fasten it with a metal bracket.

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

Huh~......"

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

I look at my hands and they are trembling slightly.

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

Come to think of it, I was too scared to see who it was.

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

I take Sola out of the bag and hug her tightly.

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

She must have sensed something, because she makes a small "p-p-p" sound, which she has never made in the tent.

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

I search for signs around the tent.

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

I can hear them talking from a little distance away.

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

There are sounds of people moving, but there is no sign that they are paying attention to us.

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

Thank you, Sola.

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

Place the potion in front of Sola.

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

After making sure she starts eating, I organize the potions for Sola that I picked up from the dumping ground.

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

We put them into a special bag, but there were too many of them and they were a little too small to fit in the bag.

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

We put them all together in a corner of the tent.

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

On the way, we search for signs of the outside many times.

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

Phew, I need to do something to calm down.

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

But I don't want to go outside the tent.

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

I reach into the bag I've put the potions in.

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

Then I pick up a small knife.

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

It's something I spotted while I was picking up the potion and picked it up without a second thought.

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

When he left the village, he had a small sword.

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

But I dropped it when I was running around in the forest, and I haven't had a weapon since then.

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

It was too big for me and got in the way when I was trying to escape.

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

But when I saw this knife, I naturally picked it up.

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

I don't know what I can do with this knife ...... probably nothing.

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

Mr. Seyserk said that it could be an organization with a number of people who are familiar with it.

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

Having no offensive skills whatsoever, there is little I can do with a single knife.

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

Still, holding a knife calms me down a bit.

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

Sola, who has finished eating, is bouncing around me.

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

Somehow, the sight of her relaxes me.

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

Thank you, Sola.

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

I thank him and slowly stroke the swaying Sola.

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

I am glad that Sola is here.

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

I hear a sound outside the tent.

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

I look for a sign, and it is a sign I know.

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

This is Mr. Seiselk and Mr. Rattler.

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

Ivy, are you there?"

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

Yes."

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

I reply to Mr. Rattler's voice.

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

I put Sola in my bag and open the entrance to the tent.

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

'Good. I bought some dinner, let's eat."

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

What?　Supper?"

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

Looking around, I see tents that are already lit.

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

Before I knew it, night had fallen.

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

Yes. It's a specialty of this town. I wanted Ivy to try some, so I bought some.

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

I'm glad. Thank you."

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

I get out of the tent and check around.

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

Borolda and Rickbert have set up a desk and are laying out the items they have bought.

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

Boom.

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

You hear something a little heavy being placed on the table, and there is a large bottle of liquor in the middle of the desk.

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

It seems that the ban on alcohol has been lifted today.

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

Okay, let's eat!"

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

Borolda pours the sake into a cup and drinks it down, saying, "Let's eat.

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

Ahhh, it's been so long since I've had a good drink!"

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

I'm not the leader of the strike team," he said. That's why we couldn't drink either.

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

Rickveld complains to Borolda.

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

'It can't be helped, there weren't any other guys in town at the time. If there had been, I wouldn't have done it.

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

Borolda and Rickbert take turns drinking vigorously.

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

Amazing!

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

They are drinking like water.

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

Both of you, drink a little more maturely."

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

Mr. Seyserk takes the bottle of liquor away from me in disgust.

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

Ah~...... sake."

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

The two of them reach for the bottle of sake that was taken away from them, and they burst into laughter.

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

'Seiselk, give it back!

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

Mr. Borolda takes back the liquor that was taken away from him, adds some to his cup, and drinks it.

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

Mr. Seyserk looks stunned.

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

My impression of Mr. Borolda is changing rapidly.

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

She is a mysterious person.

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

Ivy, don't worry about it. Yes, this is the specialty of this town. It's moo stew soup!

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

The soup served on the plate is a thick broth with large pieces of moo meat.

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

When you put it in your mouth, it tastes almost nostalgic.

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

What's that ...... nostalgic thing, that's me before.

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

The word "beef stew" comes to mind.

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

Apparently, it tastes similar to a dish called beef stew.

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

Isn't it good?"

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

What?

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

It's like I've made her mistake of thinking it tastes bad when she's staring at it and thinking about the taste.

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

Mr. Rattler looks into my face anxiously.

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

It's not the same. It tasted like something I know."

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

Oh, this is no good.

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

Taste you know?"

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

'...... yes. A long time ago.

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

I can't explain or anything.

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

In Latomi Village, the only meat was field mice.

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

And it was mostly dried stuff.

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

What can I say, it's not a problem.

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

I see. Is it good?

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

Yes. It's delicious.

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

I'm glad to hear that," he said. This is my favorite food."

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

I love the taste.

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

"Heh, good."

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

Mr. Rattler gave a smile that seemed a little shy and just a little sad.

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

Sometimes she makes this kind of expression.

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

It is quickly hidden, but it makes me sad to see that expression.

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

I'm sure adventurers go through a lot.

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

Painful things, too.

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

Ivy!　You drink too!"

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

What?"

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

Rickbert, whose eyes are a little fixed, holds out a cup to me.

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

What is it suddenly?

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

And you know I'm underage.

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

Stop it!　d*mn. Sorry Ivy, today's Rickert is a tangent."

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

Mr. Seiselk took up the cup that was being offered to him.

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

Mr. Rickveldt looked disapprovingly at that.

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

What a new side to him.

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

But it's scary because he's got a huge eye for things.

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

Oh dear, Mr. Rickbert is a pain in the ass today."

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

"Pain in the ass?"

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

Yes, there are three kinds of drunkenness, he said. There are three kinds of drunkenness: laughing, tangling, and bragging. Today it's the nastiest, entanglement sake."

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

Mr. Rattler explained to me with a wry smile.

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

I'd better go back to the tent after dinner. It's a long way back."

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

I look at Mr. Rickbert, who is entangled with Mr. Seiselk.

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

'Look, I really worked hard this time. And yet who the hell is this guy to take credit for me~!"

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

Can we keep on complaining next to each other about tangled drinks or whining?

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

I sure wouldn't like that.

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

Okay, let's clean up everything around us and get back to the tent quickly.

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

I quietly put away the dirty dishes, etc.

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

I quietly return to the tent so that Rickbert won't find me.

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

Good night.

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

Mr. Seiselk noticed my tiny voice and raised one hand.

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

I wonder if everyone will be okay tomorrow?
