Isekai ni Kita Boku wa Kiyoubinbode Subaya-sa Tayorina Tabi o Suru Chapter 41

“There now, good, good…”

Fiona was petting her half unicorn Poshule on the other side of the wall near the gate . It did not take long before the city guards returned . One figure in the group sees us and raises his spear . Then he barks some orders at the other men before running towards us . Judging by the spear he is wielding, he must be the one who was leading them .

“Ahhh, that was really something!”

“You just might have saved us . ”

I accept the offered hand and shake . The grip was a little painful .

“That was a brilliant attack you used to bring down the wyvern! It appeared to be magic from where I was watching!”

I hesitated for a second but figured it was nothing compared to having people know about ‘Legs of the forest wolf . ’ They didn’t know, right?

“It was ice magic . I gave it a good beating in its left eye . ”

“Indeed! It could not have been easy to aim so precisely… Yes, the wound on its face was quite hideous . We might not have been able to kill it had it not been for that wound . I would not be exaggerating when I say that you are the hero of this city!”

“No, no . That is an exaggeration . I’m just an adventurer . ”

Damn . Damn it . He was getting carried away now .

“Is that so? I do not believe the average adventurer to be capable of such a feat . ”

“It was only a coincidence . I was so desperate to escape from it . ”

“Ah, well, if you insist…”

He seemed a little reluctant but at least he had calmed down . I had been in serious danger of being treated as the hero who saved the city . It was too much of a burden for this part-time worker and adventurer .

“Ah, how rude of me! I am the captain of the guards in this cities western district . My name is Harold . It is my honor to make your acquaintance . ”

“The honor is mine . Commander . I am Asagi . ”

This time it was Harold who grabbed my hand and shook it . It was still painful .

“And I am sure that these two ladies are also tired! Let me see, yes . I can show you the best inn in the city if you like?”

“Ah, we do not have that much money with us . I think we will look for an ordinary inn . ”

“Hahaha! I had thought to put our hero in the best inn possible . Please excuse me!”

If you could stop calling me a hero first…

In the end, we had Harold show us the way to an ordinary inn . We only needed instructions I told him, but he would not give in and took us there himself . This commander was a passionate man .

“Well, I will take my leave now . Come by the guardhouse if you need anything! I will tell them about you so that you are invited in if you give them my name!”

“Thank you for everything . Till next time then . ”

This time I gripped his hand as hard as I could in return . He smiled slyly and increased the pressure in his own grip . Shit . I guess he hated to lose .

I watched him disappear down the road before turning to face my two companions .

“So, now what? He brought us here and, well, I suppose this will be our new home for a while . ”

Daniela had regained much of herself by now and nodded .

“Judging by its appearance, it is at least up to the same standard as the inn in Fhiraldo . I am in agreement with you . Harold has chosen a fine place for us to stay . ”

Daniela says as she inspects the building . It did seem like the perfect place for adventurers .

It wasn’t too fancy but also avoided being filthy . Just the right level for an inn .

“Well, I must show up at the guild . I do wish I could stay with you, but guild members have their own lodgings . Oh well…”

“Right . Goodbye then . ”

“Huh? Is that how you talk to your friends now? And you called me Fiona just a moment ago!”

“It was an emergency . See you later then . ”

I picked up my belongings and was about to enter the inn when something grabbed me from the back . I look down and see two arms wrapped around my waist .

“We are companions who escaped from the wyvern together! There’s no need for formalities!”

“And now we are guild member and adventurer again . Let’s be professional about it . ”

I drag her along as I try to move forward .

“Oh, ohhh…I hate to be left out of things…”

“Ahh…will you just let me go?”

“But I don’t want toooo!”

I look to Daniela for help . She sees me and nods with a sigh . I knew that I could count on her!

“Asagi, do you really mean to refuse the friendship of someone so insistent?”

“Eh!?”

You’re with her!

“Exactly, Asagi! Let’s be friends!”

“Asagi . ”

Daniela stares at me . I look down and see Fiona’s face near my waist . Her eyes are brimming with tears . Ugh, now this was becoming hard to refuse…

“Alright, fine! I was wrong! Now let me go!”

“So we will be friends?”

“Yes, yes! We can be friends . Now get off of me!”

Fiona finally releases me after this declaration . As I scratch my head in agitation, Fiona comes out in front of me and laughs . Seeing her smile, I understand why she had been so popular at the guild house . Perhaps it was her small frame that made them feel protective of her . She was like an oasis to those haggard adventurers . Not to me though . Maybe I wasn’t haggard enough to want an oasis .

Well, I suppose I could be friends with her… I had built a wall between us partially because I hated the jealousy and dislike that would erupt from it by the other adventurers . But if that happened again, I could just run away .

“Thank you, Asagi! Oh, and you too Daniela!”

“Aye, Asagi has a very stubborn side to him . You can depend on me whenever you need him to bend a little . ”

And I had thought Master Daniela would side with me…

“Well, I am off to the guild then! You will come too, won’t you?”

“Yeah, we’ll show up after we settle down here . I’d like to get a look at the quests . ”

“Understood! See you there!”

She said as she took Poshule’s reigns and disappeared down the street . Hhh…we can finally go in now .

“Shall we…”

“Hehe . You look very tired . ”

“I wonder why…”

We push open the wooden doors and enter the inn . It was a little dim inside . Indirect lighting? It was very atmospheric…I hope the price wasn’t too much .

“Excuse me . ”

“Yes, what can I do for you?”

I approached a somewhat elderly man by the counter . His hair was a beautiful silvery color with some white mixed in . The straight posture made me think he was a retired butler .

“We would like lodging here for a while . ”

“Rooms, yes . Very good . And how long will you be staying?”

“I suppose a week for now . We may extend it after that . ”

The old gentleman began to write down the date .

“Very good . Then I will do everything in my power to meet your expectations . ”

He smiled as he said this . That was enough to make me think this place would be perfectly suitable for a long stay . Indeed, he was what I wanted to be like when I grew old .

“I am the owner of this inn . The name is Joshua Glassfin . May I have your names?”

“Asagi Kamiyashiro . ”

“I am Daniela Villesilf . Nice to meet you . ”

“Thank you . ”

This he also writes down . Once he has finished recording everything he looks up and thanks us .

“Allow me to welcome you once again, Asagi and Daniela to the ‘Silver Sky Inn . ’ I am at your service and hope that you enjoy your stay . ”

“There now, good, good…”. . .
