Isekai ni Kita Boku wa Kiyoubinbode Subaya-sa Tayorina Tabi o Suru Chapter 262

It was quite late by the time I arrived at the inn . But due to being near the busy streets, it was still fairly loud . And so it wasn’t easy making my way through the drunk men with their mugs of beer and the other guests staying at the inn .

“To think that I’d be the one to return late…”

I sighed as I remembered what I had told Daniela before we parted ways . It was bad to ask people to do things that you were incapable of doing yourself . It brought me back to my early days as a part-time worker . I sighed again .

“Happiness will flee if you sigh too much . ”

I recalled that rediculous saying as I entered the inn . A familiar person stood with their back turned towards me . Short, platinum blonde hair . Daniela .

“Sorry . I know I’m late . ’

“Hm…I just got back myself . ”

Daniela said as she turned around . She was holding skewers of meat .

“I hope you have something other than meat in that bracelet of yours?”

“Hahaha . ”

“It’s not funny . I’m actually worried . ”

There was something a little awkward in the way she laughed . In any case, we left the entrance and walked towards our room . While I had a bad feeling about it, surely, it was nothing .

I grabbed the keys from the counter and followed Daniela up the stairs . She had finished her food it seemed . Did she put the sticks in her bracelet? I hope she wasn’t using it as a trashcan .

“We should get changed and then go out for dinner . ”

“You’ve already eaten, old woman . ”

“Hey, Asagi . That is extremely aggravating . ”

This elf did not like to be reminded of her age .

“So? Where do you want to go? And it better not be meat . ”

We had eaten nothing but meat since coming to this city . We were going to start smelling like it before long .

“Indeed . A quiet bar might be nice for a change?”

“Hmm… I like the sound of that . ”

It was an unusual suggestion from Daniela . She usually preferred meat to drink .

I put down my bag and we both changed into rougher clothing before going back out into the city . Up until now, I had to take a smaller bag out of the hollow bag and use it to carry my wallet . But now, Daniela held the money in her hollow bracelet . We had put half of the money that I used to carry into it . It was incredibly convenient to be able to walk around without carrying anything .

“It’s nice that you don’t even have to carry your weapons anymore . ”

“But you still have your sword belt . ”

“Yeah . ”

While I was empty-handed, I did have the demon armor sword on my belt . It was a relatively safe city, but you never knew what could happen . I was pretty confident in my bare hands these days, but perhaps there would be some other use for it . I just liked to be cautious .

We walked through the night, side by side . This was the busiest, liveliest city we had ever been to . Also, the most populated . But that meant more places to go . While I was expecting Daniela to take a long time deciding…she seemed to be walking with a sense of purpose . Had she heard about this place beforehand? I suppose she was going to escort me . I felt like a lousy date .

“There is a good place just around the corner . ”

“Uhuh . ”

“…What?”

“Hmm? What?”

“…?”

I had been a little distracted as I argued with myself, but I pushed those feelings aside . We turned the corner and entered an ordinary alley . There were doors and small windows on both sides where soft light poured out . There was something foreign about it all . Like we had stumbled into a different county . Well, I was in a whole different world .  

Daniela went to the fourth door and knocked . The light behind it seemed to become brighter .

“Why are you standing there? Let us go in . ”

“Yeah . ”

Daniela turned around to call me over . The interior was that of a very chic, atmospheric bar . There was a counter and a few tables . It honestly made me hate the clothes I was wearing . My shirt and trousers may have been made from wind dragon, they were too rough for a place like this . I should be wearing a suit and tie . What was worse, Daniela was wearing rough clothing too, but she somehow pulled it off in a way that I couldn’t . This was the gap between us…

“Welcome . ”

“Two sweet wines . ”

“Certainly . ”

There was a young, handsome man who prepared the drinks . Daniela had already taken a seat down by the counter and patted the one next to hers .

“Hurry up and sit down . ”

“Right . ”

I was nervous from my head to my toes . It was very uncomfortable . Surely it wouldn’t have hurt her to choose a place that was a better fit for me? Well, I suppose this place fitted her quite well . Still, I was a little annoyed . But I was also aware that it was stupid to feel this way . Sometimes humans were just controlled by their emotions .

Here you go . ”

“Thank you . ”

“Thank you very much . It looks wonderful . ”

“Asagi…”

I accepted the glass of red wine with both hands and slowly raised it to my lips . Daniela was looking at me with an exasperated expression . Maybe that was why I couldn’t taste a thing .  

“Uh, it’s incredibly delicious . ”

“Good to hear . ”

My nerves were doing a bad job of calming down . Oh, now I was getting dizzy .

“I suppose you were not ready…”

I heard Daniela mutter . And then I blacked out .

Apparently, being incredibly nervous and drinking strong wine were a bad combination . And Daniela had suffered the embarrassment of carrying me back to the inn .

“Well, that is never happening again . I will have to go alone . ”

“Don’t say that… I am sorry…”

I had never been able to go to such a place before . There were some things in this world that just couldn’t be helped .

However, Daniela crossed her arms stubbornly . By the time I was able to placate her, the sun was already high in the sky .

“Should we go to a normal place for lunch?”

“Yeah . I love normal . ”

Daniela touched her forehead and sighed .

We sat down to what was really a brunch and talked about what we would do next .

“…So, how long will it take us to reach this Reserentrible place?”

“It is three days on foot…I believe . But there is a dense forest on the way . ”

Usually, you would discuss your trip in advance and then shop for supplies . But as we had no carry limit, we stocked up first .

“A forest, huh? It’s been a while…”

“Aye . There will be goblins and kobolds there . It is supposed to be very dense and dark . ”

Daniela said as she read from the paper she was holding . I had killed kobolds in a mine once . They liked to dig dark and narrow holes and tunnels . The forest must be pretty dark for them to live there .

“There are also lizards and other smaller monsters… Hmm . Well, nothing I would say is dangerous . ”

“But, don’t you think it’s possible that the dungeon could be having an effect on them now?”

Maybe monsters had crawled out of the dungeon and moved to the forest . It was easy enough to imagine .

“Who knows? This is all the information I was able to get at the guild . But there is nothing about any changes… At least not yet . ”

“Hmm…”

Well, they had just recently found out that it was seventy percent of the dungeon that had been swallowed up, not half . I don’t know how much time it was in between, but the information was constantly updated . I only hoped that Daniela’s information was new and still relevant…

“Well, I guess we won’t know until we go . It should be fine as long as we’re prepared . ”

“Indeed . Food and magic tools are no longer a problem . ”

“Really? I haven’t seen proof of any fish or vegetables being bought yet?”

“Shut up… I told you . I bought them . ”

“You better have…”

Daniela puffed out her cheeks sulkily as she ate her bread . I glared back and chewed on my salad .

“Mmm…gg… Right . We should buy more potions and other medicine . ”

“We have the money . So there is no harm in getting everything that we can . ”

“And not just healing stuff . I want potions for status effects as well . ”

If we wanted to survive, it would be best to be able to deal with as many situations as possible .

“You mean like burns or to fight drowsiness?”

“Yeah . I really don’t know much about them . But are there potions that work against petrification?”

“Yes . But they are very expensive . ”

The reason that I wondered about this, was because I had seen a ‘Petrification Shield’ at the auction . It was a magic shield that turned swords into stone, no matter what they were made of . They had even demonstrated it in front of us . Apparently, it had been made with a monster’s eye .

In other words, there was a monster out there that could turn things into stone .

“Alright, let’s go and buy them after we finish eating . ”

“I do not know where it is . We will have to stop by at the guild . ”

“Right . ”

Now that we had decided on what to do next, I hurriedly cleaned the rest of my plate while still savoring the taste .
