716 Story 663: Two people who don't give up

"Ivy would look better in this color."

Not Arthur, who scolds his father with a pale pink shirt, but Lilia now.

Wow, that design you chose is so cute.

“What are you talking about? I'm sure that Ivy, who has become more cute and beautiful lately, will be better suited to me.”

A...... Lilia's dad loses and shows her an embroidered green shirt.

The design is a bit grown-up, but it's nice.

"No! Ivy is beautiful, but it still looks cute." It's definitely over here. "

"No, Ivy is definitely better for me now." You're a little too childish over there. "

Huh? Are you blind?

While watching your father and Lilia argue in vain, you see Garrus and Tannis a little further away.

The two noticed my gaze, but shook their heads silently.

No, I'm trying to stop it.

I thought so, but they turned their gaze to my father and shook their heads to the side.

I can't.

The three of them let out a sigh and gently moved away from the two who were arguing.

The name change was easier than I had imagined.

As expected, it was the power of Mr. Abal of Subgilmus.

The day after I contacted you to change my name, I brought my Adventurer's Guild card to the inn.

Father was surprised that it was too early.

I came here to shop because I had changed my name... but I didn't expect this to happen.

"I'm sorry, Al, Leah likes cute things." But this has never happened before. Well, I guess I can't help it because I haven't been able to make such a pleasant purchase in my life so far. "

Arielus looked at Lilia with a gentle expression of apologies.

"I can't believe Leah won't give up there." You're really back to your old Arya, aren't you? "

Tannis also looked at Leah happily somewhere.

Until now, the three of them have lived in hiding from the humans on the church side.

I'm sure you've put up with a lot of things.

I should have been concerned about my surrounding eyes when I was shopping.

I can't help it, just wait a little longer... no, I can't.

"Hey, Dad, Leah." Why are you holding so many clothes? I'm telling you, I don't need that many! "

Eh ~

I sighed in disgruntled tears at my father and Lilia.

This is the only time we get along!

"No. Please stop Ga, Arielus, Tanrus, and Lilia!" I'll stop your father! "

It is dangerous if left unattended.

The two of them are going to team up and buy an amazing number of cards.

I'm still growing, and I'm going to grow up soon, so the minimum number is enough.

»» »Tired» »

Arielus, Tannis, and I sighed at the same time.

Since then, I managed to reduce the number of sheets, and my father and Lilia decided on two sheets each.

Well, I was supposed to get ready to go into the cave, but how did I end up buying my winter clothes?

Sure... I see.

He found out that some of his winter clothes were too small for him to wear.

I checked my winter clothes a little while ago because I needed winter clothes soon.

Then I noticed that two winter shirts were too small to wear.

However, I didn't think of buying a new one.

I couldn't wear two, but I had other winter clothes.

I just don't think your dad would have thought that.

"All right, here are the two."

"I've made up my mind." Yeah, it's cute. "

That's good.

Looks like we've finally made up our minds.

Fufu, you both chose a completely different outfit.

Lilia has a strong impression of the cute colors and designs she chose.

Dad chose a design that looked a little more like an older sister than my real age.

Thank you very much.

I thank Lilia.

For me, it's a design that's cute and interesting, but I can't choose it myself.

"Thanks, Dad."

Exactly, Father.

I know my ideals very well.

"Which do you like better?"

“I like both. The impression is completely different, so you can choose according to the mood of the day.”

I smiled back at your father and Lilia's questions.

Arielus and Tannis, who were watching me, applauded for some reason.

Well, why?

I'm going to finish shopping for my personal clothes and get the gear I need for the desired cave.

A light bullet that creates a momentary gap and a set of protective gear that prevents the penetration of nails and fangs when attacked.

It's slippery in the cave, so they even need their own shoes.

"Isn't it okay with the adventurer's shoes I'm wearing?" This isn't slippery enough, is it? "

Grass and trees wet with water are slippery, so adventurers' shoes are processed to avoid slipping.

"Even adventurers' shoes that are built to walk and run in the woods are slippery compared to cave shoes. Running in the cave can be difficult when you're running away from monsters, so if you're slipping, your life is at stake. So, let's buy it. Well, normally, I would buy adventure shoes and cave shoes together, but first."

It's the first thing we have.

Speaking of which, I think there were always cave shoes nearby in shops that bought shoes specifically for adventurers.

I didn't think it was necessary, so I didn't care.

"That's right." Then this time we'll have it all together. "

I hate slipping and annoying people.

The cave equipment was selected differently from the winter clothes, so it was decided quickly.

Arielus and the others were consulting their father and purchasing monstrous countermeasure goods.

My father was also attracted by the new countermeasure goods, so I saw that he bought several of them.

Everyone returns to the inn with satisfaction.

“Excuse me, I just need to ask you a few questions.”

When I tried to enter the inn, I heard a man's voice from behind.

Looking back, he approaches with a smile on his face.

Somehow you're a strange person.

What is it?

My father gently makes it difficult for a man to see me standing in front of me.

"I was looking for someone."

In the words of the man, Ms. Lilia seemed to have shaken her body a little.

Could it be a member of the Church?

Is there a woman named Mikke in this inn?

Mr. Micke?

Is that a woman named Micke-san?

"Yes, a woman with long black hair and a slim figure. I don't think I'm very much involved with people because I'm sick, but have I ever seen you at a meal?”

Huh?

Sick and weak?

There was a laugh on the second floor from this morning.

Ah, but my skin is too white for my thin body, so unless I open my mouth, I'll look sick and weak...?

However, if you really judge by just how it looks.

Because I eat lavishly, I like to talk, and above all, my eyes are strong.

Ah, if you don't keep your gaze down and not just your mouth, you won't look sick.

A sick woman named Micke-san, right?

Yes.

... why did your father just bother to say he was sick and weak?

You don't have to tell me, do you?

"I've never seen a woman named Micke who is sick and weak in this inn."

Yeah, it's weird after all.

But your father's right.

I've met the energetic Mikke, but I haven't met the sick Mikke.

I don't think I will ever see Mickey, who is very sick.

Oh, but you have to ask me if I'm sick.

"Really? Yes, may I ask your daughter?"

Huh?

Why are you bothering to ask me?

This man is absolutely strange.

Besides, what is it?

When my father answered the question, I felt that the stone of the bracelet worn by the man glowed a little.

"Why, to my daughter? Are you dissatisfied with my answer?"

Father shouted a little more shockingly.

“No, I thought you might have seen it in the bathroom.”

"Um... I've never seen a woman named Micke who is sick and weak."

There must be something in your father's illness.

I don't know, but I'll tell you the same thing.

Ah, after all, the stone of the bracelet glowed slightly.

That bracelet is a magic item.

Is that so?

Huh.

Did this man just bang his tongue?

"Haha, I'm sorry to take the time. Excuse me."

The man bowed his head with a mocking smile as he walked toward the inn next to him.

Are you looking for a place to stay in the village?

But you were a creepy man.
