.
The black flames wrapped up Xplode"s whole body.
Although his screams were heard for a moment, he was rendered inaudible, perhaps due to his throat being burned immediately.
The flames destroyed his body simultaneously with the burn.
When the flames were settled before long, there were neither dust nor ashes remaining.
"I"ll kill everyone, Yuki-kun… And that totally rotten woman who hurt you, I will torment her and kill her to the end, just wait…"
The black flames flickering on her body was clear as if it were the night sky, and frightening enough so that n.o.body would come near her.
"Hey aunty, I want another one"
"Me too"
"I"d like to have more as well"
"I will be having another as well"
"Sure thing! You all can eat well don"t you?"
We are having our meals at a not-so-big restaurant inside the city of Lacria.
As for Gullus, we rented a room in the inn and locked him up there.
Incidentally we rented two more rooms for us.
It"s all of the money we converted from the treasures that Gullus packed into his carriage though.
I"m a devil? I can"t hear you.
"Hey Setsu… so we first have to stay in this city until tomorrow right?"
"Yeah. It"s already spread that the king is killed, so it"s chaos around here. There may or may not be one carriage a day. At worst we will stay here tomorrow too."
"*sigh*… we"re going back quickly and then take it easy though"
"Jion, you could not just have forgotten the existence of Creasyl and such do you. After all, you have just heard of it some time ago."
"Yes! I get it already, alright!"
Jion shouted and then forcibly threw the meat on the plate into his mouth.
It"s not that he is angry, this is how he usually acts.
"Maybe there is some sacred sword hiding somewhere in this city. But if we go and meddle with all of them, then no matter how many lives we have, it won"t be enough, right? So here we can do nothing but wish we pa.s.s through this place without them being in this place"
"That"s right. I"m worried about Lady Desastre too. I want to request a bout with the sacred swords by any means though…"
"Give me a break. Right now none of us can fix any wounds you know"
Jion"s quite right about that.
We don"t have any healers, seeing that I don"t have any magic powers.
I"ll manage somehow if I use Gluttony, but this boy"s my trump card.
I can"t possibly use him so easily.
"I do not quite understand, but you do not have anything to do in this city, do you? In that case, can we not return to the inn already? Setsu, I want to go to bed already"
"You oversleeper… Well, whatever. "N so, we"re going back, how about you two?"
"I"ll be loitering around the city. We finally got money we can use freely, might as well do some wild merrymaking, eh"
"I"m thinking of going to see the guild for a while. There may be some gossip there and if there are delicious commissions, I"ll take one as a warming up"
"That so, got it then. Then, see ya at night in the inn alright?"
We pay the price of the meal and Stroh and I walk on the road to the inn.
"Saay, is it really possible? Carrying divine power that is"
"I do not know. I can only say there is merit in just doing it"
Hearing that answer, I scratch my head.
How should I say this, it"s uh… lackl.u.s.ter.
It can"t be helped since she doesn"t know the result either, but vague things really do feel itchy.
"That aside, you go to bed properly from today on alright? You have trained throughout the night and it will trouble me if you collapse"
"Ah… I get it"
It was five minutes later when we arrived at the inn.
When we pa.s.s through the large double door on the front, a lively girl greeted us from inside.
"Welcome! Oh, it"s the people from room twelveーwelcome back then!"
"Hey! Show some proper respect, Mira!"
"Aah, it"s fine. Having at least this much energy would give you more relief too, missus innlady"
"Is that, is that so? Well if you say so, Mr customer…"
"So reasonable!" The girl who said that and thrusted a thumbs up to me is Mira, the daughter of the husband and wife managing this inn.
Brown pigtails and a pet.i.te body.
From what I hear, she seems to be around thirteen years old.
And yet she"s frivolous and would actively speak with customers like us.
She seems to be the popular figure of this inn and contributing to their earnings at this age fills me with awe.
"What about the other two? They are in a different room, but they"re your companions right?"
"Yeah, said he was going to loiter around the city. It"s bothersome for me, so I"m going to sleep in my room."
"Oh, I know those people! You call them useless people!"
"Shut up, leave me alone"
That right now was relatively effective you know, to my heart.
I lightly poke Mira in the head and go up the stairs to our room.
Looks like she went "boo-boo" behind me, but I ignore it.
"You look like you were enjoying the time which involves that girl do you not, my boy… Don"t tell me my boy… You prefer young girls?"
"Sorry, but I ain"t a lolicon. It"s just… Her atmosphere resemble hers a bit you know, that of my childhood friend"
Brunette, plenty of energy and yet sociable.
Just that much could be nothing but a coincidence, but they resemble each other for some reason.
"Or rather, don"t you go showing your figure until you enter the room alright? They"re gonna charge us don"t you think?"
" …Stingy are you not?"
It"s fine as long as we have money, so naturally to reduce the hotel charge, I had Stroh go in a state where she won"t be recognized by people.
"… I guess I should look just in case"
Changing my mind before I enter my room, I open the door to the neighboring room.
"Hey, how you feeling?"
" … It"s the worst"
Who was inside was the bound Gullus.
He"s tied to the room"s support, he shouldn"t be able to go out of this room as long as he doesn"t have any sharp tools.
"Well, when we hand over you to the demon king, I"ll ask her not to do anything bad to you alright? If you"re cooperative that is"
"See ya then, I"ll come again"
He shut his mouth, so I leave the room and this time enter my room.
Now then, how about I do what she told me and sleep until the night――――――――――――
