Shadow Brave's Readventure - Re-Tale of the Brave
Episode 297: Port Town - A Drink in a Tavern -
Kite and Mel arrived in Portland Emelia and secured the inn tonight. Once I rely on the keys I received to store my luggage, I moved to the room, which was more luxurious than I expected.
"... hey... you care too much..."
Kite dropped her shoulder for the crushing moon, which is not here. Obviously, the room was likely to cost tens of thousands of yen a night. So it's no surprise that Kite is scared or that Mel is surprised by Kite being dealt with like that.
"... hey, who are you really?
"... General Manager I just helped..."
The truth is that why are you so overzealous, Kite, but the crushing moon is actually innocent. What bothered me was the employee who saw the crushing moon happily talking to Kite.
Almost all of the employees rarely saw the crushing moon as being quite friendly. If so, I also saw the other kite, and that he was wearing tailored clothes - or protective gear. I didn't see them as adventurers.
Nevertheless, I cannot help but make this mistake. Mel can't tell he's wearing protective gear if he even puts down his big sword, and Kite has too good a protective gear and no big difference from regular personal clothes. It would be impossible to think of this as an adventurer and say that even first-class employees are unlikely.
I said, I can't use cheap stuff in kite. Regardless of the weapon, no matter how you scratch your armor, you can't equip it with anything that doesn't match your strength.
If it's not enough and you can't use it, it's still good. I just can't pull out enough performance. But if you are equipped with protective gear that doesn't match your strength in the opposite sense, you may end up eating < > at the worst possible distance. Wearing protective equipment that did not fit your height was more dangerous than using a weapon that did not fit your height.
Therefore, he was judged to be a couple of customers and turned around a good room so that even a sudden visit was no shortage. So the view from the room was pretty good too.
"Isn't this a nice room?
"Well, I guess so. Maybe they thought it was a couple sightseeing trips or something."
"... uh, so to speak, enjoy the sightseeing for both of you, what a porter said. Well, it's a corner favor, so take it."
It's not to my detriment, so Mel decided to accept it. And sometimes it's better to be thought of as a couple. Then I decided to leave the mistake as it was, and the two of them decided to leave their bags and get ready to leave.
"Unfortunately, gather information."
"A tavern? Well, if we talk while hooking up a cup, we'll get a lot of information."
"Right, well, let's go. Oh, but before you do, you should refill it with a whole bunch of healing pills."
"You're good for tomorrow morning. If we don't find out what falls inside first, we'll lose a lot of healing pills in the labyrinth (dungeon). I want to be a bookstore first... but I want to spend some time collecting information."
With information about the local labyrinth (dungeon), if you're lucky, it could be in a bookstore as a magazine. But choosing that book also takes time. Therefore, since it was already dusk, I suggested that it be turned tomorrow.
"So is that."
I agree with you that Mel does, too. It makes no sense if you're here to help your people in the first place, but you're in a hurry to die yourself there. Consequently, it was accepted that information would be collected even if it took some time. If you hurry, turn around.
"Bye, princess. Give me your hand."
"... you don't look great."
I was repeatedly numbered over the past few days on a carriage trip, and each time Kate was turned into a man avoider as her boyfriend, so I took Mel's hand with a slightly playful mouthful. but Mel glanced back half-eyed at such a playful kite. Well, I felt like I was going to tear up some place on that face, so I guess she rode me too.
"Once in a while, get in."
"Y-ya... that? You're used to something."
I remember my predicament until a few years ago, and realized that there was no precipitation and manipulation in the kite's operation, Mel. Even though it was said to be noble, he seemed to believe enough. Besides, Kate replied with a laugh.
"Well, the master is the master."
"Oh, well... that's the person in the social world, Mr. Kuzhamisa."
That said, Mel is convinced. The master of kite - albeit ostensibly - is a kuzha. I thought it wouldn't be suspicious to be taught social lessons.
Rather than that, this is true because we are actually giving the cherry blossoms imperial lessons as well. Cherry blossoms and rui trees were sometimes well made, and now compared to the normal imperial nobleman's maiden, there was no such thing as a disgusting color, or worse, more like kite.
"Well, it's a harbor town in the corner, so I'd love some delicious fish dishes."
"I want to drink alcohol from the continent of Ursia."
Kate hasn't stretched her legs all the way to the continent of Ursia on her tasting journey. Because we didn't find civilization, and we didn't need it. I was interested in what it was like to drink from another continent I didn't know about.
Also, high-end liquor will be delivered to the Duke's house, so I have already drunk it. Except when it comes to something that will be offered at a local liquor store. So they went out into the city at night.
That's how I decided to go around all sorts of things with such a tear. By the way, the only way that looked like a date from anywhere was at this time, so I'll leave it aside.
When they left the hotel and appropriately walked out of the mall to find out where the store was, they entered the liquor store in the same flow. As he sits appropriately in his seat, Kite opens his mouth.
"Grandma, do you have any Ursian liquor?
Naturally, I ordered something first so I could get the information, and then it was basic. Well, still, I guess the first thing you ask about alcohol is because it's kite.
"Oh, brother, you're in luck. I just got in. There's good stuff and cheap stuff, but what do we do?
"Bye, with the good stuff. What does it taste like?
I'm looking at a liquor store that seems to offer a lot of quality liquor, but it's unlikely that cheap liquor will really taste bad. It's not like I should be able to drink to boulders, so Kate asked for some good stuff.
By the way, I asked about the flavor because I couldn't decide what to do with the dish. Seeing such a kite, the middle-aged man, like an employee of the store, laughed and answered.
"Oh, well, that's not evil. but, well, that's a bit of a habit. This time in, he's going to fit the dish."
"Then, the black throat - about the acorns - boiled and rice please."
"Hmm, Nakatsu national style? So, where's your lady?
"Then this wheat bread and leech muniel. Alcohol is just like this one."
"Well, why don't you have a bottle?"
"Whoa!" A bottle of La Esta "! The dish is broiled with shark Muniel and throat black! Wheat bread and white rice!
"Aye, aye!
That's what a powerful voice sounds like from the kitchen. And soon a liquor bottle was brought to me. Because this one just brings the one that was cooling down. That's how I opened the lid of the bottle, and the two of them couldn't take it, pouring amber liquid into the glass they brought with them.
"Incredible, annoying"
"Good luck"
The two waved a glass of amber inside as they tried to work together.
"... you're more habitual than the guy I drank a while ago"
"Well... I guess I ordered the wrong dish"
I guess it's pretty high as a frequency. The moment I drink it, the intoxication strikes me at once. To the liquor, which was a little more habitual, the two of them were just a little sorry that you misordered the dishes. It was going to kill the taste of the dish I asked for because of the compatibility issue. The two of us thought it was appropriate, but it's not a fancy kiosk. I also decided to give up and drink this as a flavor for some kind of journey.
"Oh... so you've had Ursian liquor?
"Kuzha gave it to me and I've had it... but I've never been there. I've never had cheap drinks like this before."
"Only a few adventurers go to different continents."
Mel shook her head at Kate's words, grinning bitterly. As Mel said, few adventurers would stretch their legs out of the continent without so much restraint, and even though it was extraordinarily safe and affordable compared to 300 years ago, travel to other continents still involved both costs and dangers.
"Maybe so."
"If you want to go, you have to work hard, okay? Money, chaos, chaos, things to hang up."
"It is... indeed"
Kate smiles as she turns her thoughts to other continents she has yet to see. There are five continents out of seven that Kate went to. What we haven't been to is the Ursian continent and the Dark continent that we raised earlier. No one has achieved domination of all continents, so even after 300 years, this kite and Yuri have the highest records.
I didn't have to go to the Dark Continent, but it might be interesting to go, as a matter of fact, Kate secretly thought, without letting anyone know. It's not about domination of all continents. I was merely invited by the Taoist god. After hearing that a new civilization had been discovered in the last 300 years, it was something that Kate had only thought about a little.
"Hey, wait! It's leech muniel and wheat bread!
Having such a relaxing conversation, a different clerk from earlier brought Mel's dishes. This one was an employee of a woman who looked fine.
"Wait a little longer for me to simmer my throat black!
"Oh, I'll take my time, but I'll have some fun"
That's what Kate thought when she vacated early and asked for sake from Nakatsu, and Mel got mad at her for speeding up her drinking just a little bit.
"You... leave my share."
"... Oh, I did"
I could accidentally drink by myself and rest my drinking hands. Then, about half empty, Kite's food arrived.
"Bad, one" Shizuku the Dragon ". Cold."
"Yes. Cold," Shizuku the Dragon "!
As such, two people gather information from the clerk about the labyrinth (dungeon) while drinking more wine and eating dinner at the liquor store. As a result, I got all the information I wanted and decided to talk to him while eating.
"Is it in the southwest of the city? Even so, a cave-based labyrinth (dungeon)? Trouble."
From what I've heard, some parts of it have collapsed, and it seemed right to go down or bypass the collapsed part.
"It's just not flooded. It's better. It's by the sea, so I was just wondering what I'd do if it was an underwater labyrinth (dungeon)."
"If it wasn't for a nautical battle with a great sword, no one would come near you first. And I say no."
"So is that. After that... well, I see you need the mayor's permission."
Mel scratched her head as she assembled her plans. Naturally, the labyrinth (dungeon) for which they are both intended is highly dangerous. The Duke's house is restricting access. Naturally, I had to apply and get permission.
"It's going to be the morning after tomorrow."
I can't just say I can't do it due to procedures, etc., so Mel won't try to make it through there either.
"I hear the Mayor's Armara family is east of the city, near the harbor. They're co-located in the bureau."
Apparently, the place hasn't changed since 300 years ago, and Kate thought she'd find out soon enough. Though the stories I heard were tsunamis and demonic raids, and the building was slightly renovated, the appearance seemed to have changed little.
"The mermaids live quite a long time, so it seems that their predecessors have been hiding for about 50 years. My predecessors, my predecessors, have survived, so I guess the third generation didn't really want to renovate their homes."
"The first mayor of the town, Emelia Armara. Second generation mayor Emerada Armara. Apparently, the first generation gave way to a trail within active duty. Now it's the third generation, but I'm going to give up the money as well while I can still see the rest."
"Sounds good. Well, isn't that reasonable?
"Right."
From the information they hear, they will guess the intentions of the Armara family. If you give up while you are still able to work, you can help yourself even if something goes wrong. Well, it could be a hospital system, but one way to think about it was that both Kite and Mel fully understood it.
As a result, after the consultation, the two will focus on the meal again, without worrying about anything this time. In doing so, nearly 20 group guests entered the store. Looking at him in his uniform, he looks like a city garrison. They sat down from the two kites to a large table for nearby group guests.
"Hey! I'll get you a drink! Whiskey, 10 in a bottle! In the dishes…"
Quotas who responded to group guests will state their orders aloud. Laying that aside, Mel asked Kite with a slight bitter smile. Mel is smiling bitterly because apparently they are sober and have been drunk since they came in.
"Could it be the city marines?
"Maybe. From that outfit, you're a Marine in the Duke's Army."
"Well, you know the boulder."
Mel nodded as if she was just a little impressed with Kate's words. Actually, Al has been sent to the Adventure Department, and Lucius and the others are always in armor because of their escort duties. In fact, the Duke's army also has uniforms as clothing that are not armor. When it came to military service when Al and the others were not in armor, they wore these. It was natural for Kate to grasp that.
"Well, this is still Al... because Alphonse Weisslitter is in the guild. For once, I know everything about the Duke's army and the Imperial Kingsguard series, and the uniforms of the Imperial Regular Army. Mel knows the uniform position of his unit, right?
Mel laughs and agrees with Kate's inquiry. Naturally, I grasp her and the uniform of my parents' army - which varies slightly from house to house. It goes without saying, because it is the duty of the nobility and courtesy to the soldiers who serve themselves.
"Of course. It's only natural that you know the military."
Is it because he was talking about military men, eating at will? Apparently they were asking, and several drunk military men were involved.
"Hey brother..."
"What?
Suddenly a drunk soldier spoke to me and Kite responded to a little fright.
"I work in the ocean almost every day, but I look good with a woman, dude."
"No... Sister, please let us work for you."
"What? Hey! I didn't give a shit about this guy!
"Ha..."
Suddenly he grabbed his hand half-eyed and Mel shook it off in a hurry. Apparently, he's pretty drunk.
After all, this pattern, Kate sighs at what could have been greatly predicted. Beyond bringing Mel the beautiful girl, this is what Mel and Kate were prepared for.
Even though they are overwhelmingly more secure than other territories, they are still coming to a tavern where people like those who exchange their lives go together. Getting involved was, in a way, something I had no choice about.
That's how you get a glimpse of the other military men as you watch Mel and a few military men heating up. Then, they were all laughing with a bright red face. He drinks quite a bit and doesn't seem to have a normal judgment attached.
"That's why! I'm not going to let guys like you get in front of me!
"Oh? That's good, nothing. Don't lose it. Come on."
That said, one of the military men strokes Mel's ass.
"Come on! You touched my butt!
"Hehe, that's pretty meaty, isn't it?"
"Oh, seriously, then, me too!
That's what I say, another soldier tries to reach out to Mel. Just won't be able to overlook any more, so Kite stood up. And I grabbed a hand that was stretching to touch Mel's ass.
"... come on"
More than the untimely end of his men, Kite says in a low, rather docile voice, staring at the military men who are different from the ones who grabbed his hand. I would not have been intimidated so far, but it was my own subordination.
"Oh? Hey, if you want to show me something cool, do it somewhere else."
"That's right - kid. It's your fault I brought such a pretty girl to such a toco.
Another soldier tried to pull his hand away from Kite from being grabbed, realizing that the soldier who grabbed his hand was cramped.
"Ooh."
When Kate let go of the hand she was grabbing, the military man who had been picked collapsed. When I grabbed it, besides the lightning magic, it was damaging the central nerve. Seeing that, he realizes that his opponent is a fairly high ranking combatant, and his vigilance is shared among the military.
"... hey, what the fuck?"
"It's just a magical application of lightning attributes. Wake up immediately.
"Ah?"
It must be what Kate says, and soon the fallen soldier gets up. And instantly glanced at Kite.
"Oh, my God... how many of us are here. You know what I mean?
Apparently, the sense of companionship is strong, and the military men who have been laughing and watching rise up and semi-surround Kite. Everyone seems to be suddenly staring at the fall of their people.
That said, this is a tavern where rough adventurers and military men will be garrisoned. There is no question that Kate went into this kind of behavior, and on the contrary, she's even been sent a compliment. Besides, the store side was also in a great hurry to clear the desk and set the stage in an impromptu position, until the clerk took centre stage and started betting.
It's a brawl in a drunken liquor store, even for the Duke's army. That's it. It's not that much. It's the other guy, Kite. Nominally, it is certain that reprimands will end to the extent that they fly at each other. Kite knows that, too, but that's why he moved.
Unlike Earth, brawling does not develop into a major problem. Anyway, the whole of Enefia doesn't have an advanced emotional education on the planet. This happens all the time, and it rarely buzzes the paper. It is even when the dead come out. Then it was more important to look at them painfully trying to fool around on such a heavenly round trip and eliminate future damage.
If not, Kate would have left the scene behind as she grabbed Mel's hand, which was just heating up, listening to the military and her chills and curses. Well, even in that case, reprimand will fly to your unit later via the Duke's house.
"What were you going to do to Mel in the first place?
"Am I right? Well, hey... I'm just gonna have you take a nap for one night. Well, I'll get you home tomorrow morning."
I can understand what you're going to do at that point, but Kate shrugged back at this. By mistake, Mel is not a whore. Unless you do wear bikini armor right now, but now it's normal everyday wear. Never, ever dressed to seduce a man.
This was also an insult to her. And now, no matter how drunk Mel's partner is, he has no hand in overlooking that insult. You noticed that, and they decided that Kate was motivated, too, and took the stand.
"... Now, do you want me to even look you in the eye for once"
Sometimes you should look at the end soldiers, and Kate stands with her bare fists as she rings her neck. This crude brawl has been around for a long time, so Kate didn't know her heart was dancing. If Sola and the others were together, they would rarely be able to do this because they would turn to suppressors. For Kite, who originally went up in the field and didn't know how to lead his troops, he talks to his men with his fists - not just his fists, by the way, because he also plays tongue battles - this is what it was supposed to be.
So there's a fun grin on Kate's face, and when he sees it, the military sees him as a fighter too, he forgets about Mel and has a fun grin. Looks like he'll enjoy it over there, he thought. Well, this is where you do the fool. I could easily imagine how much I liked to fight. The woman's words echoed at that moment when the fight was about to start.
"Ha... it's time for a sermon, you idiots"
Thus, just before the brawl began, they were both forced to chill their heads.
