Chapter 87: How to Use Dragon Power

Tatsuro, who had spent a long night since then, woke up, and it was already around noon. Realizing this as he looked at his pocket watch, Tatsuro felt relieved that he had prepaid for two nights' worth of accommodation fees. He placed the pocket watch down and turned to the girl sleeping next to him.

"As cute as ever," he murmured.

With drool dribbling from the corner of his mouth, Tatsuro gazed fondly at the girl sleeping peacefully, looking like a healthy elementary school student. He gently embraced her and used a bit of [Life Magic] to wake her up.

"Good morning, Ai." (Tatsuro)

"Mmm" (Ai)

While wiping her mouth with a damp handkerchief using [Water Magic], Tatsuro exchanged a belated morning greeting.Gẹtt the latest novels at n.o/(v)/e/l/bin(.)com

Since it was past breakfast time, he had already ordered lunch using the same method as the previous day. Today's dish was different, but it featured fish and vegetables as the main components.

After changing into his everyday clothes, Tatsuro relaxed on the sofa while waiting for the food to arrive.

"Sigh, I worked hard until yesterday, so it's okay to be lazy today, right?" (Tatsuro)

"Yeah, no matter how young we are, staying up all night is tough." (Tatsuro)

As they lazed about, they heard a knock on the door.

Yesterday, Ai had gone to get the food, so today, Tatsuro held her back as she tried to leave, and he went to pick up the meal himself.

Placing it on the table in front of the sofa, the delicious aroma made their stomachs growl.

"Let's eat." (Tatsuro)

"Thank you for the food." (Ai)

They clasped their hands together and started eating with their own chopsticks.

"It's a buffet today. Nom nom." (Ai)

"I know today's meal is delicious, but please don't talk with food in your mouth." (Tatsuro)

"Mufa, you're treating me like a kid." (Ai)

"Well, that's because you act like one" (Tatsuro)

When they were alone like this, it was fine, but in front of others, he wished she would be more proper. As her boyfriend, he felt the need to address it.

After enjoying their meal with these small remarks, they returned the dishes to a box near the entrance of the floor.

Then, for about an hour, they did absolutely nothing but laze around on the sofa, recovering from the mental fatigue they had accumulated during their tumultuous days.

"Phew. I feel like I can give it my all from tomorrow." (Tatsuro)

"Yeah, me too." (Ai)

With that, they slowly set off on foot along the moving road. They retraced their steps, and when they were just 200 meters from the town's gate, they spotted their destination and left the moving road.

Having seen it on their way to the current inn yesterday, they were already aware that the Adventurer's Guild was one of the few stone buildings in the town.

"You know, no matter where you go, it has that unmistakable Adventurer's Guild feel." (Tatsuro)

"Indeed. But being in the city, it's pretty massive." (Ai)

Looking up, it seemed like they had taken what they saw in Obsul and simply made it larger.

They paused momentarily to take in the sight, but when they saw people behind them, they hurriedly entered to avoid obstructing traffic.

Inside, the interior closely resembled the one in Obsul, and Tatsuro, feeling a sense of nostalgia, approached the stout woman at the closest reception desk.

"Um, we have this, but has anyone come to inquire about it?" (Tatsuro)

"Hmm?"

As he presented his identification, the woman examined it closely. Up close, she was huge, easily surpassing two meters in height.

Tatsuro, slightly surprised by her size, stepped back slightly, keeping his identification where it was. He immediately thought it was not polite to do so and moved his body forward, but the woman didn't seem to notice. She continued to scrutinize the identification and compared it to some documents she retrieved from beneath the reception counter.

"Mr. Tatsuro Hasami, I see. So, that means the lady with you is Ms. Ai Yashiki?"

"That's right. Here's the identification." (Tatsuro)

"Yes, indeed. So, the person who came to inquire about you is currently in the reception room."

"It's quite a coincidence that they're here. Were they waiting for us?" (Tatsuro)

"No, it appears they've been in a meeting with the guild master on a different matter since you discussed your situation."

Tatsuro had briefly suspected that they had been under surveillance, but it didn't seem like that was the case, so he felt relieved for now.

"Even though they're in a meeting, do you know what they want from us?" (Tatsuro)

"I cannot say, but if there is any need while I'm here, please feel free to come by," she said.

"And may I ask who they are?" (Tatsuro)

"Yes, it's Mr. Joel Wickham, who is the mayor of this town."

The fact that he was the mayor of this town meant he held a position just below the lord of Lyadas, effectively making him the second most important figure in this territory after the lord's family.

"This is quite a significant figure" (Tatsuro)

"I hope we don't get dragged into something troublesome" (Ai)

Shocked by the fact that such an influential person had personally traveled to meet them, they were guided by a woman who introduced herself as Katezina Rysak into the room where the mayor was waiting.
