Chapter 191 – Price (1)
Taking Anna with him, Kalt first headed to an alley where no one could see.
After wandering around the alley, Kalt took out her spare robe from the inventory bag she had packed and handed it to Ianna.
“Use this. “You don’t want to attract people’s attention for no reason.”
“I understand.”
Ianna put on her robe and put on her hat.
And Kalt also wore the remaining robe from his inventory.
“Keep following me.”
Ianna takes her steps again following Kalt.
And.
“Ka, Kalt? Why are you going to a place like this?”
Ianna couldn’t bear to keep following and had no choice but to ask Kalt.
Because Kalt was currently walking near a street with many so-called flashy stores.
“Because it’s the most soundproof place. We’re already attracting attention in this town. “Do you want to get caught talking in a place where sound is easily leaked?”
“Well, I see.”
‘I’m sure in a place like this, there must be a place to talk secretly.’
Ianna is initially convinced by Kalt’s words, but is anxious whether it is really okay to walk to a place like this.
And that anxiety turned into astonishment the moment he saw the place where Kalt had arrived.
“… !? Oh, no. “I was talking about a place like this where sound doesn’t leak easily!”
That’s because the place where Kalt arrived was an inn that served as a so-called love hotel.
“It’s also a place where two men and women wearing robes wouldn’t be particularly suspicious even if they sneaked in.”
“Ah, anyway… ! Come on, no way! He made three women, and now they are targeting my body…”
“…”
“Wouldn’t it be okay if you didn’t look so disgusted? All right. Well, you can just go in.”
Wearing robes, Kalt and Ianna entered one of the inn’s rooms built for that purpose.
“Bird, it’s more than I thought… “Is it quiet?”
“Because it’s not even really night yet. Well, there are probably people who use it during the day.”
“If you really talk about it here, you don’t have to worry about it leaking out, right?”
“If it were any other ordinary inn, this one looked nice, right?”
“Yes.”
“It’s okay in places like that not only because of the thickness of the walls, but also because they use magic tools to make the sound less loud in other rooms.”
“No, what kind of luxury…”
“It might be the case in other places, but this is also a place where money is rolling in, right? Because the monsters around are already very difficult.”
“After listening… I see.”
“Furthermore, if a place has a good reputation for soundproofing, word will spread about this place and the number of people using it will increase.”
“I know that very well.”
“Ha, who was collecting information by becoming friends with people? Well, enough of the gossip…”
Kalt spoke to Ianna as he sat down on the bed.
“What have you got to say? “Tell me.”
Slightly lowered voice.
Lee Anna was nervous at that lowered voice.
It was the first time since that day that Kalt had spoken to him in such a voice.
“Kalt… Maybelle is also trying to apologize properly. So, if you just knew that…”
“Well. Is Maybelle really going to apologize with all her sincerity? From what she said, she thought I had done something. I think she can’t help but do it because of that.”
“Ugh…”
“What did I do to you in the first place, huh? I really have no idea? After breaking up with you guys, I heard about you and it was amazing. “You say you solved the village’s problems by preventing the dungeon from flooding and subduing monsters in other villages?”
“No, that’s…”
The reason we prevented the dungeon from flooding and the reason we defeated the monster that was a nuisance to a village was because the monster was at level B or lower at most.
“But what if I don’t have any skills? “I really don’t understand why you’re looking for me when you’re so successful?”
Kalt looks at Ianna with cold eyes while gently raising the corner of her mouth.
Ianna thought that she was deliberately pretending not to know because Kalt was angry with them.
Therefore, Ianna told them their situation and decided to do the first thing she had to do before appealing to Kalt.
Ianna immediately bent down and bowed her head to Kalt.
“I’m sorry, Kalt.”
“What? Why are you suddenly apologizing?”
“At that time… When Maybelle tried to throw Kalt out, she didn’t stop him and agreed to apologize. I thought Maybelle had a point, so both Marti and me…”
“Maybelle is saying that my skills are not good enough?”
“Oh, no! Absolutely not! That… I really didn’t mean it. In the first place, we are not idiots and there is no way we would think that Kalt can’t do its job!”
“What about Maybelle?”
“Well, of course Maybelle never thought that Kalt really couldn’t do his job!”
“You don’t believe me? No, honestly, even at that time, I didn’t believe what you were saying at all and thought you were joking. Maybelle is in a bad mood again, and she’s complaining. But it makes sense if Maybelle’s eyes are more attractive than I thought, right?”
As Kalt’s words continued, Anna became anxious as she felt like Kalt would get up from the bed and leave.
“Khalt! Really… Really sorry! Please little… Please listen to me just a little longer!”
“… “Keep talking.”
“Actually, the reason Marti and I agreed with Maybelle at that time was… The day before, she heard what Maybelle had told us separately.”
“A separate story?”
“Yes. Of course, the point is to get Kalt out of the party… “Well, Maybelle also thinks about Calt in her own way, so that’s why.”
“Under! Because you think of me? Come to think of it, that kid also said something meaningless today. What? You said I was so damned eager to get out? “Isn’t it funny?”
“Actually… “If you think about it from Maybelle’s perspective, what I’m about to say is related to what Maybelle said today.”
“What?”
Kalt was silent for a moment and spoke to Ianna.
“Keep talking. “I’m also a little curious about why Maybelle said that today.”
In response to Kalt’s request, Ianna continued.
◈
The day before the expulsion of Kalt.
Maybelle left out Kalt and called Ianna and Marti.
“Maybelle, why are you suddenly calling only us?”
“Is it because you’ve been nagging Kalt so much again?”
“It’s not like that! No, I heard a lot!”
“So why did you call me?”
Maybelle looked at the two people in turn and said.
“To get Kalt out of the party.”
“Yes?”
“What?”
For a moment, Ianna and Marti thought they had heard wrong.
Maybelle wants to kick Kalt out of the party.
“No, why all of a sudden?”
“Are you saying this out of anger because you’ve been nagging Kalt so much?”
“No it’s not! No! “It’s partly because of the nagging!”
“Maybelle, no matter how much you hate hearing Kalt’s nagging, you shouldn’t easily dismiss her colleague like that.”
“If I’m in a bad mood, should we go eat some cake?”
“Profit! I’m not saying this out of anger! “I’m really going to send Kalt out!”
“No, why?”
“Is there any reason?”
“That’s right! Kalt always nags and complains!”
‘Isn’t that because Maybelle was upset with Calt?’
‘If Maybelle has an accident, Kalt usually takes care of it.’
“I am not a child!”
“So… “You’re sending Kalt away because you don’t like nagging?”
“No, of course what I just said is one of the reasons…”
Maybelle puffed out her cheeks and said.
“To begin with, Kalt, he didn’t even want to have a warrior party! “Mom and Dad asked Kalt because they felt anxious about being alone.”
“Now that I think about it, it was like that, right?”
“Kalt and Maybelle were childhood friends.”
“Khalt has been saying this since he was in the village. I just want to live peacefully like this. And!”
“”And?””
“I know what Kalt says every time he nags me! ‘Oh my gosh, it’s my daughter. What are you doing taking care of yourself now that you’re so grown up? “If it wasn’t for the favor of the lady or the uncle, I’d just say ‘squeak!’ These days, it’s been on my mind!”
‘Isn’t that just teasing Maybelle sarcastically?’
‘The number of times you say things like that has definitely increased, right?’
“If you want to go out like that, I’ll let you out! In the first place, eh! I’m not that young! Even if you don’t have a Calt, you can eat and live on your own! Joy! “Someone has to take care of me for the rest of my life!”
“Why don’t you tell that to Kalt?”
“No! “I’m telling you not to talk nonsense again!”
“So are you really planning to let Kalt go?”
“Okay! Anyway… Tooth. Are you going to be happy because you go out to parties and have more time to be alone? You have been liberated by me! “It’s Kalt anyway, so even if I let him go, he’ll do well to the best of his ability.”
“What are you going to do to subdue the demons? “If I get a request to subdue a mine, it will be difficult without Calt.”
“Huh? At that time, you can just ask me to come back temporarily! Kalt, he will join right away as soon as he conquers the Mines!”
Maybelle didn’t have a single thought that Kalt would say no.
◈
“Like that… It happened.”
Kalt heard from Ianna what the conversation was about the day before he was banished.
Covering her face with both hands
Quick!
I ground my teeth.
“Maybelle, you little bitch…”
Although she thought it was something that Maybelle could say, it still made her angry.
