458 - - Episode 18 Chance Reunion

Yeah?"

After disembarking from the port on the river, the capital of the United Federation of Beastmen, Mya and Quone took an inn for the time being, and as they were discussing heading to the Adventurers' Guild to gather information, there was a presence that caught the attention of COPY002 people.

Specifically, Mya, who was dressed as a man.

The person is a bear-breed beastman, and he is accompanied by a group of young men of the same species around him.

The bear species who is paying attention to Mya moves his nose several times, and after checking the smell, he twists his head again and calls out to him.

"...... perhaps, Mya?　How did you end up in the capital of the United Beastmen Nation (here)?　And why are you dressed like that?"

Huh?

Mya and Quone were inwardly astonished by this voice calling out to them.

They did not expect that someone who immediately recognized them in disguise and called out to them would be in the capital of the United Federation of Beastmen.

The two pretended to be unaware of the call, and quickly quickened their steps.

But the bear-breed beastman, in a convinced voice, calls out again, louder and louder.

'Eh, ignore me!　No, we certainly don't know each other, though!　Wait, wait a minute, Mya!"

The bear-breed beastman leaves the youths with him and comes clattering after Mya and the others.

As expected, ignoring them any longer would only draw unwanted attention from those around them.

Mya and Kuone stopped and looked back.

Quone, not Mya, stepped forward to deal with them.

The opponent is a tall, muscular brute of a race, and although it stimulates Quone's trauma, she cannot let Mya take the fight to him.

She puts her trauma deep down inside, squeezes Mya's hand to hold hers, and turns to face the bear beastman that has been chasing her.

She squeezes Mya's hand and turns to face the bear beast that has been chasing after her.　If so, you have the wrong person. My name is Kuone (Nene) and this is my brother Miya (Yami). You must have mistaken us for someone else.

Yami?　You say you've mistaken me for someone else, but we smell the same, we're just dressed differently, aren't we?"

!"

In order to escape from the eyes of the "goddess cult," I cut my hair, dressed as a man, and changed my makeup to disguise my appearance, but I could not disguise my smell.

The two men grit their teeth and say, "We didn't expect our true identities to be revealed by our smell.

The two of them are indeed upset by the fact that he pointed it out right in front of them, and the bear species beast race also realizes that "there is something going on.

He hurriedly excuses himself, saying that he is not the enemy.

He says, "Oh, please calm down!　I'm not a seriously suspicious guy!　I'm a beast race that was taken care of by my brother, my boy, and Miss in the Dwarven dungeon city!　I knew about Mya and her party because my brother Gold told me all kinds of booze stories!　And the smell, I just happened to know about it because I had been there for a few years and was active!　I mean, seriously, he's not a shady guy!　I just wanted to do a little something for him because he knew my brother Gold, who took care of me!"

!"

With his statement, Mya finally realizes who he is.

This bear-breed beastman was from the dwarven dungeon town where Mya used to work as an adventurer.

Although she had never met him, she had seen him many times drinking with Gold when she was working as an adventurer in the dwarven dungeon town.

She had never imagined that she would meet him in the capital of the United Federation of Beastmen.

Miya couldn't help but let out a squeal.

A dwarven dungeon town!　Could it be that you are a member of the beast race who was good friends with Mr. Gold!"

'Yes, sir!　I am indebted to my brother Maji, my little boy, and Miss."

A tall bear-breed beastman bows low to Mya, who is much shorter than he is.

The young men of the bear race who had caught up with him and the surrounding beast races looked at him with strange eyes.

The bear-breed beastmen were becoming conspicuous, so the bear-breed beastmen were very attentive to them.

The two of you seem to be in some kind of trouble, and here I have my eyes on you. I have a favorite restaurant that I trust, so why don't we move there?"

It's ......."

'Don't worry, sister Quone (Nene), this beast race will be fine. Because I know Mr. Dirk, Mr. Gold, and Mr. Nemmu."

Quone initially had difficulty with the suggestion of a beast race he had never met before, but Mya, who was holding his hand, assured him that it was 'okay.

I don't trust a bear species beast race I've never met before, but Mya is different. If she assures me that it will be all right, then there is no problem.

The two agree to his proposal, and he takes them to his favorite restaurant, where the bear-breed beast race can be trusted.

In order to avoid being seen by the others, he instructs his companion, a group of young Bauerschwein, to move around Mya and Kuone in a concealing manner.

The restaurant frequented by the bear and bovine species of beastmen was an eatery frequented by many bear and bovine species.

Because it belonged to a high-class restaurant, it had private rooms, so the young people in the group were fed in a separate room, while Mya and her friends rented a private room for the three of them to talk.

Since the basic unit of food is a bowl of rice, tea was served in a large bowl, and sweet cookies were served in a heap on a plate.

I'll pay for this place, so feel free to eat," the bear-breed beastman proceeded.

The two had not eaten any sweetmeats during the trip to save money.

So, while tucking into their first sweet treat in a long time, they explained their current situation.

As the two explain their situation, the bear-breed beastman says

Yeah,...... you're going to pick a fight with the 'Witch of the Gigantic Tower' head on?"

The "goddess religion" and the heroes were donned.

"In case you are wondering, even in the Beastmen United States (over here), I had heard the proclamation of 'goddess religion' ....... No one over here really believed that the 'Goddess Church' was going to pick a fight with the 'Witch of the Gigantic Tower. If you look into what she has been doing, you wouldn't think of messing with her. At most, we thought it was just an excuse to collect donations. And yet, they attacked Miya and her friends head-on for the sake of making a declaration. ...... Are they really trying to pick a fight?

I was surprised at first, too. To be honest, I thought the declaration of 'goddess religion' was some kind of a joke.

I also stayed away from the "headquarters of the Goddess Church" near the northern slum, and I thought there would be no problem if I took care of myself when I went out of the city. I had no idea they would ride directly into the city in such a violent manner. ......"

Mya and Quone's mouths initially twitched at the thought of tasting sweetness for the first time in a long time, but their shoulders dropped at the mention of "goddess religion.

It is only natural that they could not have imagined that their studies at the Six Principality Magic Academy would be so spectacularly interfered with.

After hearing the whole story, the bear-breed beastman fell silent for a while and made a proposal to the two of them.

Mya-chan, Quone-chan, will you leave this matter with me, or rather, with the United Federation of Beastmen?"
