Chapter 284: By Wire (8)

Chapter 284: By Wire (8) Were you induced?

For a moment, that thought occurred to me, but the next moment I knew it couldn't be like that.

The number of inns we visited in this city alone is double digits, so you tricked all of them into coming here?

If you put in that much effort, it's polite to acknowledge it. It couldn't have been that way.

In the first place, they would only see us as somewhat talented people, so there was no reason to do that.

I answered while instantly relaxing my tense body.

"No. "I just came here to eat."

"Is it? That's a shame. "If you change your mind later, let me know."

"Of course. "If I change my mind."

When he expressed his refusal, the pervert retreated cleanly.

When I saw that, I was able to erase any possibility I had thought about.

This pervert was just trying to scout us out of the goodness of his heart. Although I pervert.

Since the outsider was gone too, I was about to turn my head back to eat again.

"... ?"

Pervert stared at us and did not leave his seat.

No, he wasn't looking at us. His gaze was slightly deviated to the side, and when I followed his gaze, I found that he was looking at our backpacks placed next to the table.

"You guys, by any chance, couldn't find accommodation?"

It wasn't a surprising question for pervert to ask that.

How many people have you seen sleeping on the streets while staying in this city?

At least I could guarantee that we wouldn't be the first.

But what followed next was a little surprising.

"Then how about staying here?"

"Here?"

I inadvertently turned my gaze to look at the inn staff.

Since pervert's voice was quite loud, I made eye contact with the employee who was looking in this direction.

The employee shook his head.

It probably means that there really is no room.

"The staff said there was no room?"

"The staff said there were no rooms? ... Ah. I guess so. Most of the rooms in this inn are rented by our mercenary group. "If they hadn't expanded or expanded without me, it would be true that there would be no room."

"Then... "

As soon as I started speaking, I realized what pervert wanted to say.

This probably means that he will give up the room his mercenary group secured.

The question 'Why are you doing that to me?' Rose up in my throat, but I swallowed it down.

Because my stomach was full, I felt sleepy. I just wanted to sleep. It was too annoying to pitch a tent.

Well, what if you have a little scheming? I knew enough from our brief meeting that that pervert wasn't the type of person to say, 'Let's sleep together in my bed, hehe.'

So I decided to just quietly accept the favor.

"So you're saying the mercenary group is renting a room?"

"Oh? How did know? That's right. If it's okay with you, I'll let you rent a room for a day."

"What about the price?"

"Hmm. I don't mind lending it to you just as a favor... Then you wouldn't be comfortable either. I guess I'll just ask you a favor later. Rest assured, I won't ask you for anything too unreasonable."

"It's something to listen to and think about, but I think it's okay. Thank you."

"What? By the way, the room you are renting is originally our member's room, so please use it cleanly. "I'm renting it out while I'm away in another city for a while."

"Can I rent someone else's room as I please?"

"Huh. They might actually like it when they come back and find that the room smells like a woman. If it makes you feel bad, it's okay to refuse."

It was a bit vulgar, but considering he was a mercenary, he was no different from a gentleman.

I just answered with a grin.

"Then I'll just go up there. "I'll tell the inn staff and see you tomorrow."

This time, pervert said those last words and left.

Flora and Asil, who had been watching the conversation so far, looked at me with slightly expectant eyes.

So, to sum up our conversation...

"I found a room."

There was a small cheer.

◆

The room pervert rented was very nice.

When I heard that it was originally a room used by male members, I imagined a room that would be messy and smell like chestnut flowers, but it was quite neatly organized and didn't have any special smell.

It may be due to the sincerity of the inn staff rather than the neat personality of the member.

Anyway, the bed was comfortable, so that was enough.

But I can't stay at this inn forever.

It was said that the room had been lent to a member who had gone elsewhere, so it was natural that the room had to be returned as soon as the member returned.

Even though Pervert may have an inexplicable interest in us, he won't give us any priority over his mercenaries. That doesn't work either.

I promised myself that I would somehow find accommodation within today, and headed from the second floor where the accommodation was to the first floor where the restaurant was.

Flora and Asil said they would come down a little later.

Flora needed more time to groom herself, and Asil was just oversleeping.

Thanks to "Deep sleep," Curling up in bed even though you don't need to sleep anymore can only be called lazy.

There was nothing particularly urgent, so I didn't say anything.

"Howdy. Did you sleep well?"

When I went down to the restaurant, pervert greeted me.

There were several meat dishes on the table where pervert was sitting. It was so heavy that I thought it might be a bit burdensome to eat in the morning.

"You have to eat well to gain strength. Can you fight properly if you tear off the grass or chew on it?"

It wasn't that I couldn't understand it.

I also control my diet because of it. If I didn't have to worry about my weight, I would only eat meat three times a day.

It really does that in games.

Since it seemed like it would still be a while until Flora and Asil came down, I pulled up a chair at the table where Pervert was and sat down.

The idea was to kill time by talking for a while.

I also asked about the Red Thorn Mercenaries.

First, I decided to ask about something I was curious about yesterday.

"Why are you being so nice to us?"

I received a lot more than just for scouting.

In response to my question, pervert crossed his arms and thought for a moment.

Is this something to worry about?

It took a moment for the pervert to uncross his arms, scratch his head, and open his mouth.

"Well, don't misunderstand and listen."

"Let's listen first."

"Is there one among you with black hair? Because he doesn't feel unfamiliar somehow."

Black hair?

Ah. Flora changed his hair to black when he disguised himself.

Wait, so this guy is interested in Flora right now? Moreover, using the old phrase 'I think I saw this somewhere?'

"Wow... "

I don't know what kind of expression I was making, but looking at pervert's reaction, it seems like it was a pretty blatant expression.

The pervert was startled and urgently waved his hands.

"Oh, no. So I told you not to misunderstand! I mean... "

– Clink!

However, Pervert's desperate excuses were not heard over the sound of the crowd entering the inn.

Even though pervert had a loud voice, the noise was even louder as more than ten people came at the same time.

Why are there so many people this morning?

As I looked in that direction, a woman standing at the front of the crowd noticed me and approached me.

A woman with black hair and a lively appearance. However, as she looked at it, she felt something out of place.

In other words, it feels like I've seen it somewhere... Still, it's something vague that I can't quite remember...

While I was thinking about it, the woman started talking to pervert.

"Liam! How have you been?"

"Oh. Leader. "I thought it would come soon, but I never thought it would come already."

"Yes? I had a strange feeling for some reason, so I hurried over. "Yesterday we camped outside the closed city and came in as soon as the gate opened in the morning."

"... Do you do that because of how you feel? Somehow, strangely, everyone looked less tired."

"No way. They are all guys who sleep well even on the front lines. It's all a disaster, it's a disaster. But who is this person? "Did you seduce us without our knowledge?"

"You're flirting. Anyway, isn't that rude? This is... "

Pervert said only that and looked at me.

Come to think of it, she didn't even introduce herself properly.

I should introduce myself. I don't have anything to say.

She said, shrugging her shoulders lightly.

"It's Soira. Yesterday and today I am being wooed passionately."

"Courtship? Ahahaha! Look! "I knew this guy would cause an accident someday!"

"No, no. "I just offered to join!"

The woman called the leader held her stomach and burst into laughter, and the pervert was now sweating and exhausted.

As I was looking at the woman smiling and shaking her arms around the pervert's neck, I felt like something vaguely occurred to me.

I'm sure I saw it somewhere. As for where it was...

-Tap, click, click...

At that time, light footsteps were heard from the stairs leading to the second floor.

It seemed like Flora and Asil were coming down after getting ready.

"Sorry I'm late, Soira. I waited a long time... Uh... ?"

Flora, who was coming down the stairs, holding onto Asil's arm, who was still dragging her feet as she wanted to go back to bed, suddenly became speechless when she saw the woman who was talking to me.

Ahaha, the woman who was laughing cheerfully and teasing Pervert also widened her eyes when her eyes met Flora's.

The inn, which had been noisy due to the unusual atmosphere between the two, suddenly became quiet.

In the silence where the lively atmosphere just moments before felt like a lie, Flora finally opened her mouth.

"Sister... ?"
