- I, Cecil Atomyce, am a half-beast born between my mother, the beast man of lions, and my father, the human. I have asked my parents at an early age about how two people of different races met and how I came to be born.

My mother was the daughter of a village chief who lived in a lot of Beast tribes, an active woman whose arms were extinct and who would be interested in anything for fun. When it comes to researchers, my father is a skinny, not very good, but unsuitable person for contention on the pale skin to which the word researcher suits.

It would be more impossible not to be interested in meeting those two.

However, my father was not the type of researcher to pull into the room.

Starting from the study of ancient monuments, to the ecological investigation of hundreds of demons and, at the end of the day, to the cultural study of heterogeneity, it can be said that the appearance of flying around the world to satisfy one's own desire for knowledge was active in that sense.

On his way to the village where his mother lived in the name of studying heterogeneous cultures, his father, who could not afford it financially, was attacked by bandits who were travelling without hiring escorts, to say the least. My mother, who stumbled through there, kicked the bandits in the ass, seems to be the first contact.

Not that my father, who was helped by it, fell in love with my mother, but rather the other way around. She was greedy to fill her knowledge even every day during her stay in the village, and it was her mother who attracted her to a father like a child.

"This guy is really dull on that side. At the end of the day, I almost had to. I hope Cecil meets someone who wants to be with you one day."

The look on my mother's face, speaking with laughter, seemed like a lion's beast man, arguably from a complete carnivorous system.

After being husband and wife, and even after my birth, my father was traveling the world to continue his research. My mother and I like to travel with my father like that - I'm sure those two will still be doing something friendly somewhere.

Speaking of which, I have lived apart from my parents since I was able to earn a living thanks to the strength of my mother's conceded arm.

It's not like I didn't even have the option of being an adventurer, but I thought it would be easier for a mercenary to remain intact than to belong to an adventurer's guild where they take brokerage fees. As such, he is now based in the Wide Castle City on the southern tip of the Kingdom of Richelle.

Wide castle cities sometimes have demons and powerful demons nearby, and there are numerous adventurers and mercenaries, so if you have confidence in your arms, you won't have trouble working.

Let safety and security not be guaranteed lives, I was happy with this life.

Apparently, my mother inherited a high level of combat power from my father and a greedy exploratory spirit.

I want to fight a strong opponent. How far does one's power work? How strong is the person in front of you?

It's not a compliment, but it's hard to contain the urge to praise someone if they seem to enjoy it. In this sense, it may be said that the mercenary position was actually suitable for me.

◆ ◆ ◆

- One day, at the request of the Carnac Chamber of Commerce, I was to go to Volvo Volcano.

I'm tired of walking in hot lava sinuses, but what made it easier than that is the fact that it was the mercenary Curros who asked me to work with him.

Mercenaries actively exchange information with each other. Of course, I'm not offering any useful information for free, but Curos has been persistent with me instead of money.

I thought he was a powerful mercenary there for a human being, but honestly, I didn't feel very good, and once I turned him down, he started resenting me and saying something to me.

There were a lot of statements that made me look like a half beast, but what do you think because I was born with a heterogeneous race? Each of my parents has given me affection, and I myself am satisfied with the existence of myself. Really...... little guy.

But even with someone like that, work is work. If you fail to lose trust from the Chamber of Commerce poorly, that may be what Curros is after.

In the meantime, I said I felt somewhat better thanks to the people I stumbled upon in Volvo Volcano.

A boy with a laid-back expression - to you, Se, and a threesome named Ray to your twin sister, Len.

Their aim also seems to be a scorching tyranny tiger, something that I was a little surprised to hear on the road. Because scorching hot tigers are not demons that young human boys and girls can beat where they worked hard. I've been observing it because we had several fights with demons while we were going along for a while, but I'm a little worried if that's all we can do.

Nevertheless, I thought it was not a demon that I rarely encountered, and there would be no problem.

- After spearing through a tyranny tiger wrapped in flames,

"That young monk. He's definitely hiding something. Now look at that!

To the outraged words of Curos, I was a little - on the contrary, rather ungrateful.

I don't know what happened before I got here, but this is how I took down a scorching tiger. That's all right. Hand over the material to the people at the Chamber of Commerce and you'll get extra rewards. I'm sorry if I sidetracked your discovery, Se, but Curros insists that I just helped him, and my position was that Se could only divide the material you needed.

But...... I'm surprised you, the quiet Se, obviously provoked this one.

Living in pitch-black eyes is only a matter of confidence.

The boy's words, which he said could not be beaten by me or Curros, were full of force that could not be felt to be a lie. I can't even imagine it from the outside - I'm sure that one's funny.

When has my body been full like this? The little spark of curiosity, which began to sound a heartbeat in the depths of my heart, will surely not go away any longer.

I thought maybe these places were Father's concessions. I loosened my mouth slightly.

◆ ◆ ◆

- After returning to the Wide Castle City and going to the Karnak Chamber of Commerce to finish reporting on his work, Advocate Curros began to tell the Chamber about you, Se.

I turned my gaze to a merchant at the Karnak Chamber of Commerce, thinking it would be hard to lend an ear to a mercenary who was not sure, but who was screwing Bella Bella. But the relative merchant is listening with a very serious look and a gavel.

(No way... do you believe in stories like this?

"What do you say? If we do this right, we might make a lot of money."

The merchant, who had listened sincerely to Curros, who had finished his explanation with an absurd breath, shook his neck beside him with a gentle expression.

Apparently, a good merchant doesn't immediately deny the other person's story. Calmly analyze, carefully identify, and judge all information. Even if it's a story like a mercenary does, maybe if it's something that definitely leads to money making, we'll move on to action.

Can't it work this time, naturally?

Well... people who believe in mercenary stories without any certainty would be disqualified, not only from merchants, but also from the mercenary industry.

"Damn."

Curros, who vomited ill, left the mall with momentum. It doesn't seem like I gave up on that look.

Well, what am I going to do...

"Please accept"

Lifting a bag containing rewards from the Chamber of Commerce, he felt the weight on his hands along with the jarring sound.

What I want is not money.

I threw an unmade bag of coins into the tool bag, thanked the merchant, and then I left the room promptly.

But - I'm interested in you, Se.

◆ ◆ ◆

- Totally, I just want to compliment Curros on his ability to act when this happens.

Arriving in the city of Melbeil, I was visiting a merchant hall run by the Leruno Chamber of Commerce. The Leruno Chamber of Commerce is not even that big on a scale, but it has been doing business in this city for quite some time.

I also interact with the Karnak Chamber of Commerce in the Wide Castle City, and I have been hired to escort luggage, etc.

"Did you only call me Cecil the mercenary......? What the hell is this for?

The representative of the Chamber of Commerce of Leruno, Largo Leruno, greeted me with a minimum of affection.

"Hey, think it's hard to get along with Curros' self."

"Nah...!?"

Largo, still arguably magnificent, but his abundantly fat belly rocked with surprise.

This man named Largo was quite a greedy man, and he even did it by unduly watering down the price of the goods to be transported or mixing crude goods into the wheat he purchased to increase his weight.

It was sniffed out by Curos.

By the way, how do I know that, because Curos was proud to talk to me when he came up to me? I don't know what I did with the weakness of the Chamber of Commerce.

We have already obtained information that Curos has visited the Chamber of Commerce of Leruno. You must have brought the story to Largo, who holds a strange weakness.

"Don't do it. Because when you give out greed, you regret it."

"... but even if it were our Chamber of Commerce -"

When I camouflaged him, Largo started spewing out excuses similar to perplexity and stupidity. I decide to listen to more than half of them, and I only sort out and pick up the information I need.

(Calling at the request of a lie...? adventurer guild would be a hassle if they found out)

"Huh. That's all you need to hear. Thank you for interrupting."

As he hurried back to his heels, Largo's voice echoed from behind.

"Wait. I have a job I'd like to ask you to fold in."

Belts wrapped around rounded bellies are eating into meat, and the appearance of a sweaty merchant with an uneasy face lacks a little majesty.

Well, it depends.

"Actually -..."

- Largo asked me to do the job of ensuring that the curlos seal their mouths when they fail.

If you kill the executor, you can get away with it in case.

Come to think of it, if Curros and the others die, we can make trouble, and if we can make money on this one, that's good. I guess Largo thinks he can fall either way.

Either way, it will be profitable for the Leruno Chamber of Commerce.

Maybe this anxious look that's sweating is also an act.

"... that's a lot, not at all. Then I'd like to offer you one condition as well."

◆ ◆ ◆

- On the same day, he was asking how things were at a position away from the Ergo tree.

I think my eyesight is better, so it is ok to be quite a distance away.

If you're going to keep me alive, Se, you won't be killed all of a sudden. I was also thinking if I were to lose, I would ramble in along the way and kill all the culos. Nothing requires me to truthfully fulfill a request from Largo.

However, in that case, it will not be as unfolding as I would expect.

Sae, help you, that's it. That's all.

But my expectations were never betrayed.

Even in the distance, Se runs in your overwhelming battle.

I wonder what it is. This feeling......? Feels like my chest is getting hot without limits... I've never seen anything like it before.

It becomes intolerable and drives the horseman well.

When they came to the side of the great tree, Curos and the others were tied to thick chains of earth so that they could not move.

As we descend from the horseman and greet you and Ray, Se, we see the mercenaries dressed as pathetic, and we proceed to the point where the spear reaches us.

"Ku...... come on, Cecil! Help us! You're one of the mercenaries."

Curros, who was losing both arms, raised his pleading voice.

"No, no, mercenaries do something on their own, basically? Are you asking me for help?

These are the words Curos used to dictate to me. Do something on your own......? He looks a lot funnier now. Pity...... really.

I don't know what kind of eyes I have because I don't have a mirror.

But at this point, I felt Curlos' face creeping and distorted.

"Damn it! Really, half useless everywhere -"

- Goodbye.

I slashed Curos' neck there.

Then he turns down all the other mercenaries' lives.

Your face seemed very funny and fascinating watching such a sight, Se.

Though I inflated my chest to my expectations, Se, I was going to not force you to if you really didn't like it.

"But... I changed my mind"

In conversation with you, Se, clearly indicate your intention.

I can't contain my desire to fight.

I want to fight this man. I want to fight as hard as I can. I want to fight as hard as I can. I want to force myself to fight.

... This may be the first time I've gotten emotional so far.

"I mean... Mr. Cecil, you're not gonna give up, are you?

When you nod at me with a troubled face, the heat dominates your body as if your first love had come true.

I interrupted my thoughts there and set up a giant fuck to confront you, Se.

◆ ◆ ◆

- Huh. Did I lose?

When my consciousness returned, my body was swayed over the back of the horseman.

"Oh, are you awake? I was worried because I couldn't wake up."

Apparently, I'm having Se your horseman ride with me. Likewise, the one riding the beast side-by-side next door...... is Ray? The horseman I rode is also connected by a string behind me.

"You... you're a clever imitator to beat yourself up and worry about."

Ray's words were echoed by Se's hasty wave.

"No, 'cause I couldn't take him down without doing everything I could."

I feel a little abdominal pain, but my gut doesn't seem to be damaged. I was happier with his words that he fought with all his might than with such pain. I can't believe he beat me to get a sense of happiness. I may have had a rather different sensibility than normal.

"We'll be in Melbail soon, so why don't we have dinner together?

Sai said that happened, but you said such an invitation with an uncontrolled smile.

"Are you sure? Trust me so easily."

"Huh? That's unforgivable for the Curlos and the others, but Mr. Cecil was trying to help me at first, wasn't he? Well... that's what happened at the end."

I did. I was trying to help.

But what about believing those words right away? Because I looked so pompous, Se, you keep saying things.

"When you actually fight, don't you feel like you know if your opponent is malicious? Mr. Cecil is a woman, but at least he didn't feel bad for me."

No, no, Mr. Se... you're too pure.

Se just turns to me when I look uncomfortable. [M]

"Uh, let's do this then. If I win, you'll ask me anything, right? Then don't act like you're cheating on me or making me look bad."

"That's... Se, don't do anything you're in trouble with. Are you serious?

"Uh, it's like that"

"... Okay, I get it"

That's what I said myself. I can't act like I'm making fun of this as just a promise here.

"The meal at the inn I'm staying in is really delicious. When I think I'm going to have to leave soon, my stomach's going to be in rebellion and it's going to hurt."

Speaking proudly about yourself with a laugh, Se, your expression was like a child.

"- Hey!? Huh! Why is Sister Cecil with you?!?"

When I stepped into an inn with the unique taste of the name Full Oyaji Pavilion, Ren was having a pleasant conversation with a bald-headed man in the dining room on the ground floor, but when he saw me, he shouted.

By the way, it sounds like a guy named Dario, whose bald-headed man is the innkeeper.

"Shit! Shit! I was leaving a message with care, why is that happening?!?"

Se, I'll pack it for you. Len, your face is serious.

"Calm down. Or has your illness healed? What do you mean you care?

Such a response from Se, Ren, you began to sweat on your face as soon as possible and nodded, "I feel..."

"- And well, that's not why you're leaving Mr. Cecil alone, is it? That's why I brought you back."

The four of us surround the table as Se tells Ren about a street of circumstances.

Says that the dish that delighted my tongue enough to make it easy to brag about it was made by that tough Mr. Dario. You may be rude, but that's an awesome gap.

"What do you mean, you listen to everything!? Ouilla, I actually admired Sister Cecil a bit when I confessed! No Sai's manipulation! Three strands of bastard! Rip your crotch!

A face so neat that you can believe him even if he is said to be aristocratic if you keep quiet, he hits his head on the table with cancer.

Though I was drinking lightly with my meal, Len, you don't seem to be drunk. Maybe this is the vegan.

"What are you talking about? I already made a favor to Mr. Cecil, and I told you before that even Rim and I don't have that kind of relationship. That doesn't match the number."

"... Huh? Still nothing? That's a lie. How much?"

- Gosha! Meikikiki!

I wonder what it is. Something sounded weird under the table.

Ren, you stopped talking at all like that and stuck your face on the table.

"So you're going to end up reporting to the guild about today?

It was Ray asking about future policies with a sober face that got the conversation back on track.

"Hmm. I think it would be nice to leave it like this. I mean, if this one's grown up, he's not going to give it a whirl in the future, and I wonder if he's going to have more trouble before he leaves for the Empire. Besides, when Curos and the others were all dead, there was no more witnesses."

"Can I testify to all of this?

That way, the Adventurer Guild will undoubtedly crush the Leruno Chamber of Commerce. I will also be punished for my involvement in it.

Still, Se, if you want, I'll obey.

"No, that would probably annoy Mr. Cecil, wouldn't it? It's... I'm in trouble too"

... trouble, huh?

"I get it. But you can't always not report a request to your guild. It could be considered a waiver."

"Ugh... that's well, yes"

Anyway, the anxious face is different than it was in battle, it's age-appropriate...... no, it even looks younger.

I took the spear that was hanging on the wall and drank up the ale that was poured into the glass all at once.

"I'm going to talk to the Chamber of Commerce, so you need to rest. I said I'd do anything if I lost, so I'm gonna have to do this."

"Then... I'll take care of it. Don't be too dangerous."

Ray, who was watching how it went, also senses a separation, and takes a seat.

"If you've got the story together, it's time for the eagle to be more rude in the room. I'm taking this stupid brother with me to my room, so shouldn't Sage rest early today?

My twins Ray and Ren dropped you off as you ascended the stairs, and I turned to the city at night from the Full Oyaji Pavilion.

◆ ◆ ◆

The city of Melbeil is known for its commercial and industrial districts, as well as for its city districts, and the Chamber of Commerce of Leruno is present in the commercial district where the Inn was located. Continue walking down the boulevard for a while and turn one corner into a path with fewer pedestrians than a prominent street.

It is not uncommon for a large chamber of commerce to be situated somewhat deeper in this way, although it is often a small chamber of commerce, like the Leruno Chamber of Commerce. Even now, during the day, there are streets and people, but I didn't see many people in the darkness of the night.

"- Really? Curros and the others failed."

Trying to rock his fat body the same way he did, Largo was obviously nodding to this report with a superior voice.

"You're pretty sure that's what you've done with all of Curos, right?

"All… except the targeted adventurer,"

We shall not use ambiguous language to prevent information from becoming inaccurate. Largo frowned only slightly at my answer.

"Yeah, yeah. Absolutely. The opponents of the armed adventurers who can leave multiple mercenaries, including Curos, will be a little heavier on Mr. Cecil as well."

I felt caught in the story of a man making a smile while rubbing his hands, but that would be okay.

"So, it's about the reward..."

"Oh. Me, because I'm not going to take the money this time. But..."

"What is it?

"I told you when I asked you to do your job, and now you're just gonna have to pull a stamp from this one, right?

I don't even think a small chamber of commerce like this can do anything to you, Se, but you should pick up any buds that might lead to trouble.

"Oh...... you just said it. Do that. But as a merchant, it's painful not to pay the person who asked for the job. Not to mention, I'd like you to take it."

Largo smiles delightfully, and when his fingers patty, multiple figures enter the interior of the room from the door. That number is six.

"What kind of reward is this?

The Six put weapons on each of them, clearly not a sign of peace.

I thought maybe there might be some of these developments.

My cheeks are going to loosen unconsciously. Funny. Too funny as expected. It's too funny and funny. If it wasn't for me, the merchant would want to tell me to entertain my guests a little more. You think if you kill me, you can end everyone associated with the Leruno Chamber of Commerce. Trying to erase the seeds of worry is the same thing with them.

"Well, it's not like hunting a defeated soldier, is it?

"Heh."

Indeed, it can be said that Curros and the others were dying after being hit by Se.

Much... it's what you licked me.

"If that's the case, you're not going to keep my promise."

"There are a lot of things to do."

"Too bad...... you should have lived smaller. I wish I had made a profit by imitating things as decently and securely as before, without trying to make big money."

I don't mean to provoke you. I just said what I thought from the bottom of my heart.

"Ugh, shut up! Ya-"

- - Gushanghhhhhhh!!

The sound of even a water balloon tapping against the wall echoes indoors.

However, it was not water that splashed, but slightly heavy bass with viscous dark brown liquid that was contained.

I have not even seen the faces of those who became lumps of flesh and scattered blood. I don't even know if it was a man or a woman.

I was nearby, I was just in the way. I was just in the way of walking over to Largo.

Only for a moment the indoor was surrounded by silence, and immediately Largo raised his voice.

"Hey, what are you doing!! Let's get this over with!

The rest are five. I suppose they are quite the ones who stand up in arms. He immediately switches consciousness and strikes at us simultaneously.

But... we shouldn't be lined up in a straight line!

Throw all you can at the giant's ass.

"Gu!"

"Hiccup."

The beloved spear involving the two humans stopped by sticking it against the wall without loosening momentum. The two objects attached to the wall with the spear no longer move even with the pickle.

You thought it was an opportunity to lose your weapon, one of you has been trying to pack a mistake and poke me with a dagger. Avoid a blow that attempts to pierce your chest by shifting your body and pinch your opponent's arm aside to secure it.

"Ugh, move..."

"You don't, do you?

On the thigh, which is the axial foot of the opponent as it is, he rolled out the lower kick with all his might from the direction where it would be at right angles to the bone.

Butch, butch…… conveys the feeling that the ligament connecting the thigh to the lower leg is breaking.

Knees are joints with considerable load in the human body, and thus there are a number of tough ligaments. If you turn them all down, it will be difficult to support your body... on the contrary, you will not be able to think of anything with pain.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!

The rest...... two.

"Hi-ha, hi-ha."

Largo screamed and lagged behind.

"-... the Leruno Chamber of Commerce ends today."

"Hih, ah"

Largo escaped to the back door with his early feet as he was about to sprinkle with his ugly, fat body.

Let them escape... -?!

I feel the flutter and the subtle movement of the indoor air, and I lay eyes on one of them who was in the rear to unleash magic.

"Magic, huh"

I can't use magic, so the wizard's opponent is a pain in the ass.

A few moments later, the wind blade is released here.

"Gi, uh..."

If you can't offset the magic, you have to avoid it... or prevent it this way with something.

Dosari, and a magical direct hit object fell in without raising a voice.

It could be said that the person who just broke his knee was rolling on the floor, so he was just fine as a shield.

Pull the spear pierced against the wall back to hand by pulling the thread by hand. I want to stop the wizard before he releases his next bullet.

The two remaining acted separately, nodding like they were determined to do something.

A man coming running with a sword and a wizard woman attempting a magical pursuit.

In spear throwing, we are in a position relationship where we can't pierce the two together.

Speaking of which one to finish first...

"Ugh... ahh!

The thrown spear is precisely sucked into the wizard's chest and puts a big hole in his body.

"Damn it! Ahhhhhh!"

The man who was running this way was slightly in tears at the tip of his eyes. A blow all over my body approaches me faster than I pull my spear back.

Though I twisted my body and avoided a direct hit, the pain ran across my lateral abdomen. Probably the most skilled opponent of all.

But I'm not going to allow another blow. Crush fist bones and disable weapons by accurately kicking up the holding part of the opponent's sword.

"Gu, guh."

He circled around behind his frightened opponent as he did, turning his arm around his neck and tightening it up all at once.

"Hiu... or ha... stop"

"Too bad, but... it was kind of funny."

Pokipeki...... Bokyo!

A light sound is followed by a heavy and dull breaking sound.

Strength fell out of the man's body, and when he let go of his hand, he fell over according to gravity and rolled.

Well, and. Is that all of it?

Immediately, Largo pushes his hand against the door of the room where he escapes and opens it with momentum.

"Largo! Think you can get away with it -!?"

In the room I ran into, there was a slightly unexpected sight.

"Ah... but ha..."

A man with plenty of body - Largo - who is being stabbed through the chest and gasping.

I don't see much bleeding, but I'm painfully rough breathing.

The people in the room, except me and Largo, would have executed the act.

Wearing a hooded cape deep, the two of them hiding their faces snapped small when they admitted to me. The shadows that glide into the pale space are indeed faint signs of existence.

"It was a lot easier over here because you were rambling me."

"Well, we've got the best target."

The two voices sound familiar. I mean... I also recognize weapons and such.

It does work to hide my face, but it didn't seem to make much sense to me.

"... well. You know what?"

"I'll tell you what, because the eagles just did this on their own. Because it doesn't matter to him."

"Yes, yes. Ouilla and the others originally specialize in these kinds of things."

This is also something that had a lot of interesting company.

"I'm telling you because I have nothing to hide, but I needed to know who you really are. Because I don't want my departure for the Empire to be postponed any longer. It's the same reason I helped you end up here."

"It feels like Oyla was forced to help."

Given his character, I can't imagine him moving in the back like this. I don't know why these two are accompanying you on your journey, but I'm sure you're sleeping well in bed now.

"I see. So, can you tell me what kind of judgment I've made?

"Nothing? You don't have to like it. I don't think I can win by fighting you in the first place."

"You told me not to do anything too dangerous, and it's this zama, right?

"If he hadn't imitated the trouble, he wouldn't have broken his word."

A loud voice sounds quietly in the night darkness.

"Look, if you're hurt, just stop the bleeding. I can't even cure you with healing magic."

"Haha. You don't like healing magic."

"You shut up. So... what are you gonna do now?

Stopping a one-broken man's scratch in a nutshell, she asks me what to do in the future.

"I'm going to take Largo to the Adventurers Guild more than this has turned out to be. Have them all throw up after washing."

"Yes...... right. I think that's probably the best."

She approached Largo rolling on the floor and whispered in her ear.

"Tell me everything properly. Or else I'll really kill you this time."

"Hino, yes... no, no, no, no, no"

He pulls through, twisting clutterfully around the knife that was stabbing him in the chest.

"Oh, it's okay. Because I will not die from this wound. It hurts a lot."

"Ah... but what"

A black torso was sucked into the sheath as he rotated the knife with his accustomed hand.

"Well, say hello to the rest"

That said, the two of them who were in front of me quickly climb themselves out the window. It was a quiet motion so that the footsteps could be sucked into the darkness, and even the signs that people were there just now could disappear.

◆ ◆ ◆

"- Phew. I don't know what to do."

After sticking Largo out to the Adventurer's Guild, I stopped walking in front of the full Oyaji pavilion and looked up at the building.

How scared I felt, Largo confessed to everything he did. Not only in this case, but also in all acts that were fraudulently profitable.

For one thing, my personality will be taken care of by the Alliance, and I was told that I would ask Se to show my face to the Alliance even tomorrow about my treatment, and ask what was going on before judging me.

"Oops. I was having dinner with Sage and the others earlier... er, was it Mr. Cecil"

My bald-headed, tough-faced husband...... I guess it was Mr. Dario.

"That's right. Excuse me, can I get you a little fortified liquor?

"Aye."

Mr. Dario nodded, pouring Melba Barley distilled liquor into a clear goblet in front of Bob, who sat in the counter chair.

Drinking up in a breath, Mr. Dario said, "It's a service," tilting the bottle, and once again the water was raised.

"Are you worried about something?

I cannot resist that voice, perhaps containing kindness, with wonder.

"I'm a mercenary, but maybe I won't be able to keep working."

"Well, that's tough."

"But that's not what's bothering me."

"Oh. So can I ask you what's bothering you?

"I'm a half-beast man of lions and humans. I've been strong since I was a kid, and I've never lost to anyone my age."

"Mercenaries are better if they're strong."

While polishing glasses and dishes with cloth, Mr. Dario is listening to me.

"Around me, they say it's a masculine one, and so when I was little I called myself 'Bok' or something, I became more and more masculine..."

"No, no, Mr. Cecil would be a fine woman from anywhere. If I were twenty years younger, Floyd would kill me."

You're a casual person, I think. I guess Mr. Dario really likes people and runs a lodging house.

"But the... I knew someone stronger than me. I don't know if I have a head full of that person right now."

"I see. That's a tough question."

I'm not used to worrying about what to do because I've had very little before. When I realized it, I was emptying my booze again. Order the third cup properly yourself and have the replacement poured.

"So, what do you want Cecil to do?

"I... wonder if I'd like to know more about him. It's funny to watch, and I want to stay with you."

"Right. Then... don't you have much to worry about right now? It won't be too late to know more about who they are and what they are."

Maybe I was in a hurry to get an answer right now. It was a casual word, but the words of my bald-headed master, laughing at me, made me feel relaxed.

"Yeah... maybe."

After that, we didn't have much conversation and even let the liquor fall into our stomachs.

"- Then this is the key to the room. I can walk on my own... Sounds like"

"It's okay. Thank you, Mr. Dario."

After drinking to my satisfaction, I decided to stay here at the inn.

Ascend the stairs, remove your gear in your own room and change into an easy outfit. She was also scratching the sweat, so when she had the hot water ready in the hot tub and wiped her body clean, her lateral abdominal wound hurt just a little.

"Ha... refreshed"

My hair is still a little sticky, but I can't help it because there is no bath in this inn.

I went back to put the hot tub back on the ground floor, and I stopped with my eyes on the face I saw in the hallway.

"Hey, Mr. Se. What are you doing?

"Hmm...... huh? Hey, throat... wow,"

... completely asleep. He's probably thinking of going to the dining room and getting a drink, but his feet are very dangerous.

"I'll get it, just wait here a minute"

I've been getting drinks on behalf of you boggling Se, but he was still half-eyed. Perhaps there is little consciousness.

"Look, I'll carry you to your room"

Check the room number from the key in your hand and transport the drink to his room.

"Drink."

Se only took one sip and I thought I moistened my throat and immediately threw my body out to bed and fell asleep with a small sleep.

Somehow...... too defenseless.

Sleeping looks like an unusual boy, and I don't think he's such an amazing adventurer who beat me.

"Ah..."

Looking at his face like that for a while, I felt like I knew what the word my mother was saying meant.

No, no... I don't think you can force me to do just that.

I just want to see how he reacts with the prank I just came up with.

I'm so embarrassed myself. But imagine your surprise when you wake up, Se, and you're not going to be able to stop.

You can't... I can't.

I thought you said you wouldn't get me in trouble.

Lifting the bed cover, I slipped my body inside.

"Warm......"

The warmth of the human skin is comfortable, because fatigue was accumulating, or the sleeper expands the range of activities in the brain.

A lot of emotions in my head disappeared before I was completely swallowed up by the mellow.

- Yeah. I... I knew I wanted to know more about you, Se.
