"... I see. My father-in-law did hear that from the adventurers."
Later.
I talked to my parents about an urgent request.
"I wish I could, but I wanted to do something as an adventurer, too. Looks like the inn's been settling down lately, and I was wondering what happened."
"Right. You'll want to take a look outside... oh, this one's fine"
Originally, I only worked about once a week, and the acknowledgement was modest.
Just be careful with the injuries.
"Yeah, I know"
"Speaking of which, I was talking about Listina wanting the rest of the day for the same period of time, could she go with me?"
No, you don't.
It was my first ear.
Is Mr. Listina going to take urgent requests, too?
My mother-in-law smiled more as I tilted my neck.
"Listina's a different reason."
"Huh? Really?... Dad, I don't know, do you?"
"Yeah, but don't tell me. It's a woman's promise."
Ho ho, and my mother-in-law laughs.
… something, aside from Mr. Listina, do you want the day off in your relationship?
I'm a little concerned, and shall I ask you later when we eat together?
I go into work that day as usual.
Mr. Listina is also in shift in the morning.
I'm totally used to my job, and now Mr. Listina, the more guests I'm looking for.
It made me wonder if my father-in-law's policy of choosing with his face was ever a mistake, although some parts were a little guessy.
I work in the morning, and after noon's busiest hour, me and Listina will take a break, too.
Take to each other today's fixed meal, which was prepared as a bribe.
I eat in either the holding room or the room.
Shall we invite Mr. Listina to eat in the restroom today?
"Senior, can I have lunch with you?"
"Yes, I don't mind."
Instead, I was just about to ask you out of me, too.
Thanks for your help.
Mr. Listina, as soon as I invite you over, you're gonna make fun of me.
Arrange lunch with each other on the table and start eating.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Listina. Looks like you're taking a break from everything for a while."
"Where did you get that information, sir? Oh, was it possible that you wanted to work with me when you heard my shift?"
I laugh and follow my elbow to tease Niyanya.
"It's not. I happen to be taking a break for the same period of time, and my mother-in-law told me."
"Huh? Really?"
"Yes. I asked for an urgent request - I was going to do some adventurer activities in the city of Luccos, so I was wondering if Mr. Listina would do the same."
"... uh, that's a little different"
"You did, didn't you"
I knew it, I thought it was just like me.
Listina put her arms together for a while as she thought, then messed with her forehead.
"Um... won't you laugh?"
"... is it sudden?"
"I work outside of here, did you know that?"
"Well, for once. I didn't even hear what you were doing."
"... I have a little business in the city of Luccos because of your work."
"Really? The job… May I ask?"
When I ask, Mr. Listina snorts.
He seemed very shy. It's a look I don't normally see inside.
When I was uncommon, Mr. Listina turned to him as he dyed his cheeks and whined.
"... he's a troupe member"
"... eh?"
Speaking of troupers, about the people who play the play... is that all right?
I've only seen the play once, so I'm not familiar with it, but it must have been something that played a story or something.
When I first saw it, I had thought that flashy performances using skills were "cool," but sometimes I was young and otherwise unimpressed.
Ms. Listina was shy of her forehead.
"A trouper... there's a lot going on, right? What exactly are you doing?"
Various with so-called actors who rise to the stage and those who support them from behind.
Mr. Listina moved her mouth in a way that seemed embarrassing.
"... a person who plays theatre. Ma, well...... Huh! I was just a terminal, so this is how I work part-time. What is it! He's a performer who can't do it at all!
Ms. Listina laughed as she tried to raise her voice.
... Maybe Listina was ashamed of it.
"Good luck"
"... oh, the... yeah, yes... I'll do my best"
That's about all I have to say.
Listina gazes at the meal with one hand on her face.
What an adorable way to start eating momentum to delude.
"But... what the hell are you going to do?
"... First, we'll use the carriage our troupe has and carry our luggage. Then we're supposed to play a play to rejuvenate the people in the town who are currently falling"
"... I see. We adventurers help rebuild, so we're close to doing it."
"Probably, yeah"
If so, maybe we'll work together somewhere.
A play, huh?
"But being able to play a role in a play is a handful, right?
The number of people who can be in a single play will be determined.
I think it would be awesome to just be on the spot.
"Well, yes."
"That's amazing."
"... well, that's not true"
"No, it's amazing."
When I complimented her that way, Ms. Listina glanced at her face bright red.
I don't even seem used to being complimented.
"You mean you'll be in the next play too, right?
"... right"
"What role will it play?
"Next, I got the... main part."
"Oh, is that true!?... would have liked to see it if I didn't have reconstruction work to do myself"
"... or don't make fun of me!
"No, you're not making fun of me, are you? Purely, because I wanted to see it."
"... also, Ugh!
Of course, until just now, I meant it, but gradually Mr. Listina's reaction became more enjoyable.
"Just be careful. It's far from the front line, but it doesn't mean there's no danger."
"I know. There are a lot of people who can fight the troupe. It's okay."
That would be reassuring.
We have to work hard on each other.
