But he knew that accidents always started with carelessness.

Of course, the unexpected event had brought some relief to his financial situation.

To be so blatantly upfront about money even when the deity is watching

Ian murmured, then opened the door to the inn.

Oh! The Dragon Hunter has finally returned!

The excited voice of a tipsy Miguel welcomed him.

Sir! Tell us! Did you really hunt down the dragon in the swamp?

Phillips shout followed Miguels.

His face was also tomato red.

Seems like they really had a good time.New novel chapters are published on

Ian walked in with a dry tongue.

All the curious gazes that had been on him quickly turned away as if avoiding his eyes.

He could guess what kind of conversation had just occurred.

Its a bit late. You guys must have had fun.

Ian said as he pretended to address Meave.

He sat at a table, acting as if he didnt notice anything.

Just to clarify, did you really kill the dragon? The one rumored to live in the swamp?

Phillip couldnt hold back and asked again.

Instead of answering, Ian turned to Miguel.

Miguels smile froze belatedly as he met Ians chilly gaze.

Well, I didnt really say anything. Our friend was just curious about your past, so

It seems like more than just curiosity.

Oh, no! At most, he wanted to know how you met, how many fingers were lost in a fight against you, what kind of request you solved, and how he referred to you stuff like that.

.

He told him everything, huh?

A wry smile touched Ians lips.

Miguel might have said he was telling a story, but those werent good memories for him. In fact, finding good memories in this world was much harder.

Wow. It really was true. Well, given what youve shown us, its not surprising.

So, whats the reward?

Ian interrupted the continuous questioning. Phillip took out a silver coin from his pouch and held it up.

I included the remaining money from selling the horse, Sir.

Ian checked the money with his eyes and put it in his pocket.

With that, he was done with everything he needed to do in this village.

So, how did you hunt the dragon?

Now, he could finally relax and rest.

But that didnt mean the jungle wanted to spare him.

As he was lost in thought, Phillip and Miguel were still chattering away.

Enough for now.

Meaves voice interrupted as the conversation drifted towards Ian possibly being a member of the fallen kingdoms royal bloodline.

You should apologize. You were just drinking and blabbering.

Ian countered with a wry smile.

Its fine. Its just drunk talk.

Of course, when those two wake up from their drunken stupor, they might not be able to make a sound for a while.

While Ian was drinking his beer, he suddenly felt a gaze on him.

Meave was staring at him intently.

With an enigmatic look in her eyes.

Come to think of it, she had taken off her helmet.

Her red hair and green eyes, along with a scar on her cheek, were fully visible.

Even though she had the rest of her armor on, just exposing her face made her feel like a completely different person.

Not feeling hungry, I see?

Meave suddenly spoke as she stared at him without averting her gaze.

Ian shrugged one shoulder.

Ive heard enough of that kind of talk.

Then, would you walk with me for a moment?

Ians forehead twitched.

Whats with this mismatched request?

Is it possible that youre also a bit intoxicated?

Meaves lips curled up slightly.

A little.

So, it wasnt water, huh?

Only then did Ian look at the glass in front of Meave. Judging by Phillip and Miguels state, it wasnt likely Meaves first drink either.

I have something I want to discuss. But I dont want to do it here.

She added cryptically.

Probably meant she felt too many ears around.

Though, it wasnt something trivial like what I thought.

Ian tensed up again, and put down his glass

Enough. Lets go.
