"Ugh… Finally a new day. My mouth is no longer on fire…" Kias muttered as he woke up.

He then looked to his left on the other bed where Yumi and Shiro were both sleeping together.

'It might've been not bad if I was still a teen… No one would complain about me having two cute girlfriends walking around now huh? Too bad I am old now, I would look like an old geezer if I were to fall in love with them now,' Kias thought inside his head as he got up from his bed and left the room.

'Oh well, today we will be going to subjugate that wyvern anyway. Hopefully, those two don't get hurt. Maybe we can slowly integrate Yumi into our party somehow someway,' Kias thought inside his head as he didn't want to leave Yumi alone in case she was to be in the same predicament as she was before she met him.

"Good morning mister," The person running the tavern said as Kias came down to the first floor after washing his face.

"Good morning," Kias greeted him back as he sat on a stool.

"What would you like this morning?" The barkeeper asked him.

"Ehh, just give me some light alcohol. I have to go out after this soon anyway," Kias said as he didn't want to be lightheaded or drunk when he went to fight the wyvern.

"Alright, here you go then," The barkeeper said as he placed a mug in front of Kias before filling it with a transparent liquid.

"Thanks," Kias said as he slowly sipped on the alcohol.

"Where are your two girls?" The tavern owner asked him.

"Ah, they're still asleep. They stayed up too late talking to each other after all. Some girl talk there and here, I couldn't keep up as it all became gibberish to me. So I just went to sleep early," Kias replied as he drank his alcohol again.

"Sounds like a pain, happens a lot when my wife and her friends are over. I end up saying I have some business to attend to leave them to talk to themselves," The tavern owner said as he sympathized with Kias.

"It's alright though, I get used to it. One of them is the child of a friend I know after all. I am just showing her around the world and stuff," Kias said.

"Eh, happens a lot. I sent my child to go to school. He's been living at the dormitory near there, so I rarely see him. That darn brat doesn't even come to visit me at all. It's like he's forgotten who his father is or something," The tavern owner said as he started to talk bad about his child.

"The time he came back, he brought his own food from there. Saying it's alright, I can eat this. You don't need to give me any food," The tavern owner said as he started to recall memories from the past to Kias.

"Ahahah…" Kias laughed as he now realized why the kid didn't want to come back here… The food here was extraordinary, bad.
