Lesson 27: Return from the Labyrinth of the Water Moon, and then

"... Sir, this is my shop. What do you say, a little something?

Back in the city from the labyrinth, the man brought me to his shop.

It is located in a subtle location where, if you ask me, there were shops like this, where I lived in Malt for 10 years and never came in.

Well, when it comes to the periphery, the city malt is quite large just because it's a city.

Thanks to the fact that there are two labyrinths nearby, there are quite a few adventurers, and, well, the feathers aren't bad.

The man's shop, indeed, as the man put it, did not look bad.

It's a spicy stone shop, and it doesn't feel like people are going in that much.

It tasted pretty good, and if I knew it existed, well, sometimes I'd come in. Ah, it wasn't as bad as I thought.

Could it be bad enough to die or something?

It is a mystery that the management was so stuck in this store that such a question arose.

A man opens the door and walks in, so I follow him.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"... you! You were safe......!

At the same time as entering the store, it was a beautiful woman who shouted and hugged the man.

A woman with an atmosphere of working people, with flax hair put together behind her, skinny throughout.

In a nutshell, she's beautiful.

But the fact that such a woman said unto a man, thou, that her qualities are largely to be seen.

The man tells the woman.

"Isabelle! I told you not to worry... I'm pimping"

"But... I can't believe I'm going to the labyrinth... I've told you so many times that you couldn't possibly do that!

"Come on, I'm a man, too, huh? I just want to say I'm about a labyrinth...... but you're right all this time. As a matter of fact, I was almost killed by a demon. I came back here because of this husband."

…… Oh, oh. If I did. There was a customer... My husband said he was helped, and really this time... "

The man's wife, Isabelle, who finally realized my presence in the man's words and said so with her head down deep as she dyed her cheeks, was adorable on top of beauty and had the charm to curse why such a man's wife etc......

That said, there's no reason to honestly say that.

I bowed my head gently to Isabel,

"Yes... once in a while, just... don't, don't"

That's what I said.

Then Isabel looked slightly strange, but the man explains.

"My husband is a strong adventurer, but he seems to have been hit a lot by demons. He's not very good at talking. He's just a really good guy. He helped me and... yes, I got the Demon Stone too"

That said, the man takes the demon stone of the bone giant (Giant Skeleton) from his nose and shows it to Isabel.

Isabelle looked at it with her eyes open,

"Ko, what is this... what is this about?!? Why are you doing this..."

"My husband said he would give me this if I told him what was going on..."

Perhaps the man who tried to explain everything after that, but unfortunately could not speak of a continuation.

When Isabelle

"No! like this...... there's no way you can get such expensive stuff!? Don't bother the passers-by! I need you to save my life, and on top of that, like this..."

Because I screamed.

It doesn't seem to be an atmosphere where you don't want to be treated by me, but you can't cause any more trouble.

It's nothing. It's not like that.

I turn my gaze to the man and urge him to explain it.

"Isabelle, this isn't something to spend. Sure, my share is too big... but I'm going to work for my husband, and he gave me this instead. And then you promised me you'd make it free to eat here."

"... do something dangerous again?

"No, that's not why... isn't it?

He wasn't sure either, and that's what he's gonna ask me.

I snort at it.

"Look, they're not. Basically, instead of my husband, I just put reports and materials in the Adventurers' Union."

"You should be yourself about that..."

Isabelle said that strangely, so I'll say it myself.

"... this, missed, meh, so... giru, not much, gone, giru, no..."

That's what I said, I show you gently wrapped my arms around it.

I show the whole thing from hand to arm to man, but it was a decision I thought would be a little tough on your lady.

Isabelle was breathtaking, but she understood.

Keep your head down and tell me.

"I'm so sorry to hear that it's hard to say...... this guy is very gullible and worried...... about this one, if you don't mind me asking...?

In this case, I think you mean the Demon Stone.

He asked me again and said he was putting his muscles through.

As far as I'm concerned, of course there's no denying it.

Nod,

"Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go."

With that said, Isabelle has offered her hand,

"Yes, please!

I've said.

I guess that means shaking hands... look at my arm earlier, aren't you scared?

I wondered what was going on, and when I turned to the man behind Isabel, he was shaking his hand and squeezing his jaw at Isabel's face.

This is the kind of woman, it seems.

And I reached out to Isabelle.

"Ah......"

That's what I said, I shook hands.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"Well, no... well, well, well, well, well..."

When I left the store, I asked the man that, and, oh, the man said with a face.

"Oh well... well, my husband didn't seem to want to name me, because he didn't seem to have anything in mind about me... but I'll introduce myself again. My name is Loris. Loris Carriello, owner of this shop, Red Dragon Pavilion. What about my husband?"

"I, of, what... I don't know, it's better, it's better..."

To be precise, it's my circumstance that I don't like when things go wrong in my name.

But man - Loris seemed unconvinced,

"Why not! As much as the name of the benefactor of life, you know... can't you?

And I've begged.

I don't know what else to do with this either, I just say it while stabbing the nail.

"I don't know, okay, but you, fuck, can you, can you?

"What?

"Me, what... and the other, what, what, what..."

"I don't know why you want to keep it so secret... but I get it. My husband, I only call him" my husband. "Even if someone asks me my husband's name, I won't tell you. Is that all right?

"Oh... well, let's go. Me, the... Lent. Lent, Fa, Ina, it's..."

When I heard that, Loris' face was a little surprised, but soon,

"Okay, man. Thank you, sir. See you next time, come and eat at our house. You'll be welcome then."

And, like I said myself, he called me out without calling me by my name.

I nod at it too, then I turn my heel back and walk towards the city.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

To be honest, it was a shame Loris had a family.

Maybe you're lying, you have no family, you have no debt, you're just trying to deceive me, I thought.

And if so,

That's better (...).

Yes, I thought so.

Because the urge inside me says so.

Eat people.

If you're gonna try, you're gonna want a bad guy, right?

If he cheats on people, it's no problem, right?

But Loris was a good guy.

So I can't eat anymore.

To the point that I didn't ask because I thought I shouldn't know the name if I was going to eat it, I've also been around to prepare my mind.

Too bad......

Second, I realized I was thinking about that somewhere in my mind, and, oh, no good, I thought.

While I think so, I walk out.

It's Lorraine's house we're headed to.

People's meat would be delicious if they ate it.

Blood must moisten your throat as thick as wine.

No, you wouldn't.

That's, no...

I can't get it together well in my head.

Oh, Lorraine, to Lorraine's house......
