Chapter 5: Girl Meets Boy (4)

Chapter 5: Girl Meets Boy (4) The village we arrived at was surprisingly a prosperous place. Since it was my first village, I expected a small and simple village. As long as there are decent fences and gates, it is a village of its own size.

"Hans! "We're here!"

Runon's father spoke to the man watching at the door.

"Mister? "You said you were in such a hurry to leave earlier, is the work already finished?"

"I didn't go to work. "This idiot went into the forest without saying a word and met a goblin?"

As he spoke, he seemed angry again and punched Runon on the back again.

"A goblin? You see them all the time, right?"

"She said this time she showed up with nine. "I was so surprised when Kiven came running to her out of breath and told me it was dangerous."

"Nine? That's a male dragon that can only be found near the nest... Ah. That's why I told you not to go to the forest these days."

"Okay. I told you to be careful because I don't know what happened. I didn't know that my son would be the first to ignore my words. And he even took Sophie with him."

"Haha. Please scold me moderately. The other guys inside are wondering what's going on, so please go in and talk to them. But what about the lady over there?"

Now that the conversation has finally come to an end, he finally looks at me.

"Oh. I didn't introduce you. This person saved Runon and Sophie. I heard you were looking for a village, so I brought you here. Therefore..."

He hesitated while introducing himself and then suddenly looked in my direction. Come to think of it, I didn't say my name.

"Soira. This is Soira. Please take care of me."

Soira. It's a name I came up with without thinking, but it has a prettier tone than I thought. I like it. Let's do this.

"It's a pretty name. My name is Hans. Thank you for saving those guys. "Not only Sophie, but even Runon gets hot when I see him, but he's not so bad that I die."

"Brother Hans! "Why are you saying that?"

"You're noisy, dude. If you take a woman to a dangerous place and almost die, it's okay to get criticized. Besides, you're still a goblin? "Then I can't even cry at the funeral."

"No, it's not just me who went..."

Kiven went with me too. He muttered as if it was unfair, but even his seeds didn't work.

Because what Runon did was shameful. I guess I have nothing to say.

"Anyway. Welcome to our village! As you just heard, the forest has become a bit turbulent lately, but it is normally a village known for its peace. "Please rest as much as you want."

That's the same thing as saying you're bored because there's nothing, right?

I said goodbye to Hans and entered the village.

As you could tell just by looking at the wooden fence, it was a fairly large village. Even though it's not paved, it's a clean and well-maintained road, and there's even a shopping street nearby.

"Well then, I have to go back to work, so please excuse me. As for Soira, hmm. Kiven! You guide me. Runon takes Sophie home. No matter how much of a childhood friend you are, if you hurt a girl, you have to take responsibility."

"Yes? Do you want me to guide you?"

"So, you don't like it? Do you want to be scolded for not stopping Runon when he asked to go to the forest?"

Haha! I did it because I was so happy. It is an honor to escort such a beautiful young lady. Shall we go, lady?"

Kiven spoke in a theatrical tone, as if he was joking, but surprisingly, he didn't feel bad, so he smiled. Would you say he's the type of person who jokes around at a level that doesn't offend the other person? In my opinion, it was an excellent social skill.

"Just call me Soira. I don't think there's much of an age difference."

"Oh. Is that okay? I also had a hard time because the honorifics were very awkward. So Soira, where should I start? "Our village may be a little small, but it has everything."

Guide me. Once you arrive at the first village, there are a few places you need to go.

"We should stop by the blacksmith shop, general store, and adventurer's guild, but let's start at the inn first. "I have to find a place to stay and move around."

"Lodging? Ah... That's right, there needs to be accommodation."

Kiven looks somewhat nervous. No, it feels like a near miss rather than a feeling of surprise. It's like I forgot something.

I was curious why she reacted like that, but as soon as she arrived at the inn, I knew why.

"This is our village inn. The owner is Runon's uncle."

As soon as I entered the inn, I saw Runon applying medicine to Sophie's sprained ankle. If it's going to be like this, why did you split it in two? Ah. I didn't share it.

Sophie, whose bare feet are being touched by Runon, is strangely blushing. I think it's a bit different to say that my skin got red simply because it was touched by someone of the opposite sex.

Uh. This. Maybe?

Come to think of it, I said we were childhood friends. Even in a dangerous situation, it was Runon who ultimately stayed with Sophie.

There's a nice smell coming from it, but I'm not sure yet. Kiven and I were childhood friends, and the reason they stayed behind was because Kiven had the fastest legs.

And Runon is also somewhat cautious about the way she touches herself while applying the medicine. Is that feeling like being overly conscious of being touched?

If we were dating, I would have been touching him in a more familiar way, or in a way that made it feel erotic. In that case, they are not dating, but are probably just hanging out together.

Soira. 2X years old. I, the only virgin among the simgi bodies, had a clue.

This isn't We Got Married, it's real.

I feel like I want to stay in this village for a long time and chew popcorn, but I don't want to stay in the first village for very long.

Because the desire to jump into a dangerous (sexually) place is like a chimney.

Since ancient times, the first village has only tutorial missions. There won't be any very dangerous quests.

I held back tears and put popcorn in my heart.

"What are you doing? "I have to receive guests."

"To? Ah. Yes. "Customer."

Perhaps he was surprised when we suddenly showed up while he was having a good time. Runon, who had been dazed, came to his senses and hurriedly went to check the accommodation list. Sophie lowered her skirt, which had been rolled up to her knees, to show off her ankles.

"..."

And Kiven was watching in silence. How would you feel if two of your childhood friends were having a fling? Or maybe it's a deeper feeling. But since it had nothing to do with me, who was planning to leave the village soon, I decided not to worry about it.

"The room is empty enough. "Our inn has good rooms and rooms that are not as good, but cheaper. Which do you want?"

"What is the difference between the two rooms?"

As I was about to listen to the explanation and make a choice, Runon's father appeared.

"Runon! I'll guide the guests and come help them... Huh? "Isn't it Soira?"

"You can just call me Soira. Because it's more convenient that way. Lunon, Sophie. You too."

"Is it so? Then please excuse me. Hmm. Are you going to sleep here?"

"Yes. I don't know how long I'll be staying, but I'm planning to look around the village once I get a room."

"Oops. I didn't think of that. The innkeeper is disqualified. Anyway, how about that since we have a spare room in our house? "We only use good furniture at our inn, but there are better things at home."

"Are you okay? "I have that weapon too."

When I took out the dagger I had kept in my waistband and showed it to him, the man laughed.

"If it's a weapon, and it's dangerous, our kitchen would be a weapon shop. This is what I want to ask if you are okay. Of course, I have a wife, but is it okay to invite two men to a house?"

Rather good. No, not this.

"Of course. Even though it looks like this, it is stronger than it looks. "It's enough to protect one body."

"So, you said you were walking around alone in the forest. Then it will be okay for my son to be angry."

"I won't do it!"

"You're noisy, you idiot. Anyway, you heard it too, right? Take Soira and tidy up her room and bring her some bedding, then go to the kitchen. "Your mother called."

After leaving those words, Runon's father went somewhere else again. Even though it's not meal time, he's the owner of an inn, so he's probably that busy.

"Dad, no matter what you say... Soira. This way. How about Sophie? Can you walk? Do you want to go together?"

"I want to go with you too. It's been a while since I've been to Runon's house."

"If you think about it, it really is. Hey Runon. How long has it been? "I guess it's been a few months?"

"Kiven, I didn't ask if I would come to you."

"I'm not saying that out of regret. And, hey. My job today is to guide Soira. "After checking the accommodations, we have to go around the village together, so where should I go?"

Because that was true, Runon could not say anything. In fact, Runon said it as a joke to his close friend, and he didn't really say it because he didn't want to bring it home.

"Anyway, you speak well. Then let's go."

Runon's house was on the first floor of the inn. To be precise, the other building within the inn grounds was Runon's house.

"It's cleaner inside than I thought?"

"Soira, what did you think our house would be like?"

This is western food. This is something that must be said.

I decided to organize the room I would be staying in together. Because it was a room that was not normally used, there were a lot of miscellaneous items placed there like in a warehouse. Runon said he would do everything, but he couldn't wait around while he cleaned up.

While cleaning up the room, Kiven discovered something and raised his voice.

"Oh, look at this. Do you guys remember this?"

What Kiven was holding in his hand was a scroll. Something I know too. It was an item called a 'simple status scroll'.

Because WM is a game. Of course, the user could check the status window. You can use points separately to select settings that increase the items displayed in the status window, but even if you do not use points, this function is provided by default.

And in order for an NPC other than a user to check the status window, there was a way to use a crystal ball made with a special magic, and a way to use this simple status scroll.

Unlike a crystal ball, a simple status scroll is disposable and displays less content than a user's status window or a crystal ball. However, because it is cheap and easy to use, it is an item that every home keeps one or two.

For users, it is just a function, but for NPCs living in this world, being able to objectively know their own status is a big advantage. Seaʀᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

To give a simple example, when a family member is sick, if you can tell whether it is simply because of exhaustion, an illness, poison, or a curse, treatment can be much easier.

"We've all done that together before, right? I got scolded for using it without adults knowing. Hehe"

She smiled as if she saw that Sophie was happy.

"I got scolded because I got scolded. "Didn't Sophie come out in a big way back then?"
