"Would you agree with that, Master...?"

Nil said he wanted to be friends with Efraim, and Efraim took it.

Certainly, it was different from what I and the Effe imagined, but in the first place, the Effe promised to stay on Nil's side even if he refused the sword. At that point, my intentions were fulfilled.

"If Nil decides to do so, that's fine." You don't need my permission to make your own friends.

But... I can't say I'm friends with Efu... "

"What... what's with those eyes?"

Do you have a complaint? But with a face like that, Efu looks at me.

It was that black dog. I'm not very good with people, and I've tried to kill myself, and I've been killed many times. We may have been involved with the bandits since they started, but they pushed us to the point where we were killed.

After all, it seems that the bandits planned to attack Janoya from the beginning, but the Effesters must have set it on fire. Of course, all of these things were bad for those who controlled the Demon King, but they were also responsible for the evil fighters.

That's why I thought Nil couldn't forgive Ef...

"No, I really had a lot of things with Effe, so I didn't expect Nil to make such a choice, and the Effe would get on."

"W-Well, that's..."

"Master, you've done a lot of things, but this is also bad for those who control the Demon King behind you."

If Effe-san was happy about the bandits, that's fine... "

"I was thinking of fulfilling the demon king's orders, but the more I was happy to do something like that, the more I fell!"

"... so I think it's wrong to blame one of them."

Of course... when you think about the people who have been sacrificed, what Effe-san has done is really terrible. "

"Ngh..."

"However, all of the parts that Efu-san was involved in were meant to take down me and your mistress." It was only Hunters Larrabay who forced the city's people to sacrifice. If so, what do you and I think? ”

"Hahaha."

What Nil says is like a play of words.

The Effes certainly didn't try to involve the common people. But you knew you were going to get caught up in this, and you thought you were going to get caught up in it.

In Nil's words, I don't seem to have any intention of tolerating Efraim's behavior, but I think it's like standing in a position where I can make a close excuse...

"Ef. Nil is pretty tough, so if you want to be friends, you have to be careful."

"No, I don't even know what to say!" I didn't get the sword, but it was a different matter. I will never do anything to disappoint Nil-sama again! I'm a friend of Nil-sama's! "

Efu, who speaks loud and clear. Nowhere, I feel that the word "friend" is strong because I feel so happy about my friend. As usual, the facial expressions were difficult to read, but I gradually understood them.

Efu, it's called a tundere. You'll definitely get irritated if you say that to the Effe, but I'm pretty sure that's the type. Yeah.

Well, then, make friends with Nil as a friend.

"Hmm! You don't have to tell me!"

First of all, the conversation was well put together.

I don't know what's going to happen, but Nil has more allies.

Then, we started again as the advance party, and at night, we were able to descend to the fifth of the mountain.

That night I finished the rest of the throwing knife, and the next day I went down the mountain for a day.

And then the next day. We have arrived at our destination, the city.

From the mountains to the north, there was little impact of fighting with bandits, and it seemed like they were continuing their normal lives.

The name of the city we arrived in is Azecilze. As Heine said, it's a big city and it's lively. The city is far west of the water capital, Thebenhagen, and it's the center of development around here.

And they passed by the pedestrians that passed over the mountains, and said that they also came out of this Azecilze, and passed over the mountains.

“It's not as big as Janoya, but it's a big city, and I think it's a good city to start something with.”

"That's right. It's vibrant, and the races of people living in it are fragmented." It's not a bad city. "

“It's almost nightfall, so let's get a place to stay.”

"Then I know a good place." It's an inn with a little price, but it's good, isn't it? "

Yeah.

"I-I..."

We'll get Tetra's share out of you, so don't worry about it.

"I can't ask you to do that..."

"We're going to the northeast like this, so we're going to say goodbye here." Think of it as a celebration of a new start.

Hi, can you show me around? ”

Yeah!

Before Tetra says anything more, we quickly advance the carriage to the hotel recommended by Heine.

It seems that there is an inn in the northeast of the city, and I will go forward with the carriage for a while.

"The streets are beautiful, too."

The streets you can see while you're driving the carriage are beautiful everywhere, and you can see the richness of the city.

The faces of the people on the road are bright, and it can be assumed that the lord of this city is a solid person.

"Is the most vibrant part of the city center?"

“Yeah, there's shops all over the place. If you go downtown, you'll have most things.”

We enter the city through the south gate, passing the side of the city center and reaching the northeast.

This is a great place to stay!

The lodge that Heine showed me is not very big, and it's a little far from the city center, so it's not very popular.

Is it a secret inn?

“Yeah. It's like a hidden gem.”

From the outside, I can't tell if it's a famous restaurant, but from Heine's recommendation, I think you can expect quite a lot of accommodation.

Are you a traveler?

When we are advancing the carriage, we can call out to the elf girl a little ahead of the inn. Is he about thirteen years old? A blue-eyed girl with her long blue hair in a ponytail and her eyes twinkling.

"Yeah. That's right, but..."

If so, why don't you stay with us?!

The girl with the ponytail showed you the hotel recommended by Heine in front of you.

"That's what I came here for." Can I ask you a favor? "

"Really?! Thank you! Please come this way!"

It was a beautiful girl with a slightly stiff look, but I felt that her smile was on the board.

Follow the girl's directions as she proceeds with the carriage.

"Mom! Dad! I'm a customer!"

A girl screams inside as she opens the doors of her inn.

"I'll put the carriage in, so please come in!" Please take your valuables with you! "

"Oh, thank you."

She's a very energetic girl with a flirty way of talking.

Following the beautiful girl's words, we all go into the inn.

"Welcome."

As you enter, a woman who resembles a beautiful girl bows her head and greets you.

Long blue hair and blue eyes. It was a woman with a distinctive claw eye. Probably the mother of a beautiful girl.

“Welcome to the Forest Fountain.”

It seems that the name of the inn is' Forest Fountain '.

The interior has a calm atmosphere and is an inn with wooden architecture. There is a relaxing air flowing through it.

How many people are there?

Seven of them.

Seven people, right? What should I do with my space? ”

Is the big room available?

Heine comes into the conversation from the side.

"Yes, it's okay."

Well then, I'll ask for a big room.

“Ok, how many nights are you planning to stay?”

"Two days... no, three days."

"Yes, I understand."

"Mother!" I connected the carriage! "

When I was talking to a beautiful mother, I heard a beautiful girl screaming from the back.

"Ugh... damn... that girl...

I'm sorry, sir. It's a noisy girl... "

“No, she's fine, and we're fine.”

Sura-Tan answers with a smile.

After all, it seems that he was a parent and child.

Mother?

I didn't get a reply from my mother, so I wonder if she's a pretty girl with a face coming out from the back.

"Malki, you always tell me not to yell like that, don't you?"

"Ah... I'm sorry..."

A girl with a bitter smile covering her mouth with her right hand. It seems to be called Malki.

I want to give a calm impression of the atmosphere of the store, but I can see that the march is too energetic and it feels a little bit like a chig hug. If you ask me if it bothers you, I will answer that it doesn't bother you, but as a mother, I would like you to calm down a little bit.

This girl is really...

My noisy daughter is Malki. My name is Alu.

There is also my husband Gilagil in the kitchen, but if you need anything, please let me or Myarch know. "

"Yeah. Okay."

"Marchi, take everyone to the second biggest room."

Yes!

Even though she had just told me, Malkhi replied that she was too energetic.

Ariu lowers her head slightly with a bitter smile, but we don't care at all. Or rather, I'd be happy to share my energy with you.

This is it!

Oh!

The whole inn had the image of a calm atmosphere and a place of peace, but the room also had that impression.

Somehow I get the impression that it is a Japanese-style inn, probably because it is built of wood. In the large room, there are steps in front and behind, and there is a table and chairs on the front side.

Then, one step up, and on the other side, there's enough shorter beds for enough people.

Everything from the table to the bed is made of wood, and the entire room has a soothing scent of wood.

"Please take off your shoes and go up to the part one step deeper than the center!"

"Huh. It's unusual to take off your shoes, isn't it?"

"Yes! Dad... I didn't mean it... My father and mother wanted to make this a relaxing place to stay when they built this place, so I made room for them to move around with their shoes off!"

We are the only hostel in this city! ”

As for me and Surakutan, it's a very pleasant system, isn't it?

"I see. I'm glad I chose this place already."

“Great! Thank you!”

Malkhi is really a good, healthy girl.

"Also, there is something that is also our eyeballs, if you open the door deeper!" Please use it! "

Eyeball?

"Yes! Did you come to my house without knowing?"

“I knew and I recommended it.”

Heine winks at March.

"That's right!" Thank you! "

"I don't know what it is, but... if Heine knows, is it okay?"

"Yes, I'll take care of it."

"For meals, if you advance the reception on the other side, the cafeteria will be there, so please go there!"

If you have any other questions or need anything, please feel free to call me! "

"Oh, thank you."

Now, if you'll excuse me!

An energetic march bowed vigorously before leaving the room.

"You're quite an energetic girl. It will brighten my feelings."

"Yes, it's better for the child to be as healthy as that."

More than that... am I the only one who cares about the eyeball?

I'm also curious!

I'm curious!

Heine and Pilte seem to know what's behind the door, but they don't know anything but the two of them, so they're curious. The Effe seemed uninterested... but the Tunderer might be interested.

"Fufufu. Open the door and you'll see."

Alright! Nil!

Yes! I got it!

Instructions were given to Nil, and everyone took off their shoes and went to the back door.

Yes, I'm going!

Gacha!

"" "Oh!" "

Behind the door that Nil opened, there was a huge wooden bathtub.

I'm so glad about this!

Yes!

Basically, hot tubs are rarely built in this world. Even if it is made, it is small for one person, and there is no habit of storing water and soaking it slowly to the shoulder, and it is just so that the water does not splash. In other words, there is a hole in the bottom of the bathtub, and the water flows on its own.

However, this inn has a well-made bathtub, and as a Japanese, I'm really happy with this.

In this world, the next elf after the demon tribe is close to the Japanese lifestyle habits, so such an idea may come out.

"I see... so the name of the inn is [Forest Fountain]!"

"Hot tub in a wooden building. It's certainly a fountain in the forest."

It's not an open-air bath, but just imagine dipping it in hot water until you shoulder, and it's soothing.

It looks like you can use this magic tool to put in the hot water.

When you use a magic tool embedded on the side of the bathtub, it seems that it has a mechanism that allows warm water to enter.

It seems that the method of use pours magic power in, and it is written that people who cannot use magic can activate it if they tell the innkeeper.

"I want to get in early... but I want to get in... but you have to wait until night." First, let's see what we need to replenish. Nil and the others can go in first. Me and Surakutan will come in later. "

“No, I'll check the consumables with you. The bathtub is installed in the room, so I will put it in at any time.”

"Really? Then I'll ask for it." What about Heine and the others? "

"Then we can't just... go ahead." If we do it together, we'll check it all at once.

Here! Check the Sulatan too! "

Huh?! Ah! Yeah!

After all, no one took a bath, and everyone checked.

Since there are not so many missing items, time is not taken very much, but it was time in the evening when I arrived in the city, so by the time I finished checking, the sun had set firmly.

Alright! It's over!

It's good to buy something that you have to add tomorrow, right?

"Yeah, that's the end of what we have to do today.

I'm finally going to take a bath! I'd like to say, but it's dinner first. "

"It might be a little early for dinner, but it's quite a good time." I'm getting hungry. ”

"It's a corner, so let's have dinner in the cafeteria."

"I heard that this inn has delicious food." I'm looking forward to it. "

"I wonder what kind of food there is..."

The confirmation work was also completed, and everyone went to the cafeteria this time.

Tetra looks sorry, but it's the same as if she didn't spend this much. I don't really need to worry about it, but... don't worry about it, it doesn't seem like it's that simple, so I tend to shy away. Well, I had no choice. I decided to think that it would be better to be expensive and make a face like that.

Entering the cafeteria, there are about four or five guests sitting there.

In this kind of cafeteria, guests come to eat their meals at different times, so even if there are many guests staying, it may not be surprisingly crowded.

As for me and Surakutan, just saying that there is a bath in the room means that there are no other options but this, but there are many people who think that bathing is troublesome, and the accommodation is not overcrowded. However, the food is delicious and the shop is beautiful. I think there are many people who think this store is good, even if the price is a little high. Of course, there must be some travelers who like to take a bath.

Rather than spinning new customers one after the other to make money, it's a place where regular customers get a good rest and take a little more money than others.

There are people who say that accommodation is good if it can prevent even rainstorms, and it is probably a matter of liking or disliking it.

Mmm! It smells good when you're hungry...

The cafeteria has separate entrances so that guests can come and eat only meals, and it seems that they are not the only guests staying in the cafeteria. In fact, some of the customers who are coming in see people who seem not to be travelers.

"Ah! Welcome!"

As soon as we enter the cafeteria, Mayarch will guide us to our seats.

I missed dinner, did you get it right?

That's right! It gets pretty crowded when you're busiest!

Could it be because of that time that Malki's voice was loud...?

"It looks like the timing was good." But what do you recommend in this cafeteria? "

"It's all there!" I'd like to say, but that's going to be a problem! If that's the case... "

I asked Marchi for a recommended dish and he gave it to me. After a while after asking for some other dishes, the dishes with a good smell line up on the table.

"Mmm! Yummy! Awesome!"

"Fufufu. Suratan looks really delicious."

It's delicious!

While eating as usual, I also drink lightly and wake up.

And in a good way, I'll start talking.

"Tetra."

Huh, yes!?

"We can only stay in this city for about three days at most."

"... yes."

"Until then, I'd like to help you, but... have you found anything you'd like to try?"

……………

Tetra thinks down a little, then looks me straight in the eye and opens her mouth.

"I... would like to do a job in healthcare."

Medical care?

I look at Surakutan.

Tetra is in pretty good shape, probably better than she was before she got sick.

It's definitely Sura Tan.

"Was it caused by the presence of a doctor in Nanura?"

“Yes, people like us who are nasty don't go to the hospital. But even if you're like us, people are people. You should be able to get treatment as usual.”

"It's only natural." I think so, too.

But... medicine isn't something you'll learn overnight. "

“Yes, I know. That's why... I want to create a device for medical use...”

"Huh... you've put your eyes on something interesting."
