When we left the detention center, it was time for lunch, when the smell of food was everywhere.

I don’t know if it’s because there are more adventurers who eat three meals a day while staying in inns because of the lockdown from thieves, but it feels much busier than the adventurer district in the capital. Thanks to this, I had to feel intense hunger, but I thought that the party would be preparing a meal in this amount of time, so I headed straight to the inn without falling into the side road.

“Wow, you really walked out unscathed.”

Sen, whom I met upon arrival, sipped beer with the group as if to prove my prediction was correct, and then spat out a word with an expression of amazement. In response, not only the eyes of the party, but also the other adventurers around me began to look at me.

“I can’t believe it when I see it. Really? Did you make a fuss?”

“Is that the capital’s mad dog...”

“Actually, he has a relationship with the royal family...”

Yem Byeong. What kind of bad relationship is it?

It’s impossible to talk about every single rumor that circulates around the bar, so I pretend I didn’t hear it and approach the table, and Laika, who was curled up under Asilie’s chair, approaches with a roar. Laika didn’t complain that she was particularly hungry even though she hadn’t given her magic power for two days, as if she had followed her orders not to wander too much while I was gone. You listen really well.

Feeling proud again, I sat down on the seat that Asilie had made for me, stroked Laika, and ordered a meal. Gaendal laughed and said,

“Congratulations on getting out.”

“Released from prison. You’re talking harshly. It’s just release from detention.”

“Haha. Anyway, I’m glad it worked out. Quite a few items came and went before you came. Have you heard about it?”

“Yes. Thanks to Mr. Kunzu himself, he came and explained it, so I’m getting my head around it.”

There is no dramatic reaction. It is only natural that most of the stories were shared before entering the detention center anyway. We just plainly lamented our entanglement in this nuisance, rejoiced in the reward, and sat down to our suppers.

A little detailed story started to come out around the time the meal was in full swing.

“Eldmia-sama, what did the guild leader do?”

“Guild leader? I threw it.”

“That’s it? Anyone can see that it fell from a four-story building, right? Bycks’ mansion is two-story, right?”

“So I threw it high. It fell easily head first.”

If sane people heard it, it would have been a terrible story, but since they are adventurers, they have no objection to the death of bad guys. Rather, not only do I prefer sagas, but I approach it with the idea that there may be something to learn from detailed stories, and I tend to actively use it as a subject for conversation.

“Eh, I can’t stand Eldmia’s fight.”

Well, since Laika, who is lying down on my bed right now and snoring, is a demonic sword, that’s true.

After listening to her words and meekly understanding, as I watched Laika hit the goal, Asilie suddenly burst into laughter.

“What? What’s so funny all of a sudden?”

“I remembered what Laika did while Eldi was in the detention center. He was a perfect dog.”

The appearance of twitching its front paws, as if it is dreaming, is also a dog. Contrasting it to the fact that he was a demonic sword, it was a very funny sight, but it seems that the point that Asilie laughed at wasn’t that one.

“Then, when I remembered that he was a demonic sword, I remembered the past.”

“When did you first meet?”

“That’s right.”

“I also thought of those thieves when I first saw him. How could I have the idea that there might be an idiot spilling things like that?”

But thinking about it, all I get is absurdity, not laughter. I feel it sometimes, but the point of Asilier’s laughter is strange...

“Rather than the thieves, I remembered how Eldi’s expression became contemplative after he released my shackles and explained the slave contract. Just ‘Help!’ you shouted.”

...nothing. I was just recalling the memories that made me laugh. It was a bit embarrassing, but not to the point of wanting to kick the blanket.

“I heard that that moment was really desperate. It was more shocking than the moment I acted to kill the thieves.”

“I could tell just by looking at his expression. Even in that situation, he was so dumbfounded that he tried to burst into laughter.”

After all, I’m just laughing and passing it on now because I was in a situation where I could die at that time. In fact, just being able to laugh it off like this doesn’t make me feel ashamed.

“Anyway, this time too, I got involved in something stupid. If I go back to the capital, I won’t have time to rest properly, so I’m going to go into the apprentice of a sorceress named Legneva, right?”

“...I think it’s possible enough in terms of timing.”

This time, it was possible that he would go directly to Ogwen without passing through the capital. By the time we return to the capital, more than three weeks must have passed.

“Time really flies like crazy. When we finish our business in Ogwen and return to the capital, haven’t we been around for almost four weeks?”

“That’s how it will be? Of course, if you don’t get involved in another job in the middle.”

“There is a story that words become seeds, older sister...don’t do that...”

It sure feels good to have the opportunity to know that all of my efforts have not been in vain, but for a while, I just want to quietly train and study. .
