Chapter 149

「Well then, I will guide you through the parts of Uruk we did not get to yesterday!」

The sun had finished its ascent into the sky, and after Amelia had gotten up and was restlessly eating breakfast, Ria arrived .

Amelia’s eyes widened when she saw Latisneil and Yoru who behaved as if it was natural that they were in my room, but when I explain to her what I had requested of them, she immediately understood and seeing each other again after a while caused her to give a broad smile .

With all that’s said and done, Amelia too was lonely when Yoru wasn’t here .

Leaving that aside, I don’t think I told Ria which hotel we were in, but for her to come straight here meant that Kurou told her .

Looking at Ria and Kurou who were chatting so intimately, I tilted my head in confusion .

The relationship between these two people was a mystery as well .

Yoru’s body weight was weighing down on my shoulder after such a long time as I walked outside .

Latisneil was with us for the time being, but I had her put on her hood .

Some beastmen had a good sense of smell .

No matter how much『Magic Concealment』misguided people’s perception of her magic power, her scent was the one thing that she couldn’t change no matter what .

I wonder if there’s someone who’s familiar with the scent of demons, but it’s just to be on the safe side .

When you think about how troublesome it would be if you were found out, this was much more preferable, I persuaded the reluctant Latisneil to put on her hood .

It seems that that hood was created by Mahiro, and it could isolate one’s presence .

「Today Kurou-sama will be coming along with us as well!」

「Aah . 」

Walking in front of the group, Ria happily said this .

Walking next to Kurou, Ria was in much higher spirits than yesterday .

Evidence of that was her waving her tail so intensely that it seemed like it would be torn off .

If I’m not mistaken, when dogs feel happy, they become like that, don’t they .

…huh, was it when they held affection for the other party .

Right now, Ria was ecstatic .

「Ria, seems happy . 」

「She really wanted to see Kurou . 」

Amelia and Latisneil look at Ria who was like that and said that .

Yoru and I looked at each other, wondering what they were talking about .

Astonished, the female group looked towards us when we did that .

「You didn’t notice it? It seems that, Ria likes Kurou . Of course, she likes him as a woman . I thought that it was pretty easy to see though . 」

Eh, my feet stopped in their tracks .

Yoru’s eyes were widening as well .

「Men, they’re so thickheaded . Even someone like me who met her for the first time today noticed it, you know?」

Me too, this was the first time I’ve seen Ria and Kurou together in one place though .

However, I somewhat understood .

She had a strange reaction when she heard that Kurou had taught Amelia 『Reversal』, it was because of this, huh .

「I didn’t notice it, but isn’t there a vast difference in age between the two of them?」

Was it my imagination that the difference was slightly over a hundred years?

「The love of the beastmen has nothing to do with age~ . Beastmen, you can’t tell their age from their faces and bodies, right? That’s why, even if a young woman partners with an old man who’s about to go senile, they would, more or less, be acknowledged . 」

Is that so, I responded to Latisneil’s words while, looking at the blushing Ria’s side profile .

Was this the face of someone who’s in love .

Yui was like that when she looked at Kyousuke though .

「Why don’t we give the two of them some time alone . 」

「Sure~ . 」

Amelia and Latisneil said that and walked into a side street .

Thinking that it would be fine since Kurou would know that we went onto a different street, I too headed that way .

『Muu…this street is… . 』

Yoru looked at the street we entered and looked around restlessly .

Similarly, Latisneil caught sight of a conspicuous signboard and squinted her light purple eyes .

「Aah, we passed by here before . In that case, this road leads to the Adventurer Guild . 」

Despite it being a path that veered off from the main street, there were many pedestrians, and there were more people who seemed to be adventurers walking around than in Ul .

「…Akira, should we drop by the Adventurer Guild?」

Come to think of it, I hadn’t gone to the Adventurer Guild since leaving Ul .

I didn’t need to care care of any business there, and since I saved money on hotel fees and still had some money left over thanks to Kurou, I didn’t go there, but I was curious about the Adventurer Guild that was located in the beastmen’s largest country .

Besides, it was the place were Gram was the guildmaster .

「…yeah . I’m interested in it . 」

「Then let’s go~ . 」

Latisneil started walking into battle, towards the Adventurer Guild .

When I asked her if she knew where it was, it seems that she remembered where places were if she’s been there before .

I more or less tried to memorize the way as well, but all the streets looked the same and I became confused .

「If I remember correctly, it’s here, isn’t it? Familiar-kun . 」

『Yes . That’s right . 』

Depicted on the indistinctive signboard that seemed slightly dirty was the crest of two crossed swords that was similar to the one I saw in Ul .

This was most likely the crest of the Adventurer Guild .

「I’ll stay outside . Call me when you’re done . I’ll be at the back of the building . 」

「Aah, got it . …now then, why don’t we go in . 」

I watched as Latisneil walked around to the rear of the Adventurer Guild, and then I put my hand against the door and walked inside .
