Chapter 62

Thank you for the bookmark evaluation m(_ _)m

Sorry, this one is short >.<

I'm really sorry!!

"…I can finally see it."

I muttered to myself, thinking of the capital I could now see at the edge of my vision.

Getting here was tough, with running and being attacked by dragons, but after a while, I was allowed to ride in the cart and had a comfortable journey.

"Welcome to the capital!!"

We successfully passed through the checkpoint, and now we're wandering around the streets of the capital.

"Hmm, maybe we should look for an inn first?"

"That would be a good idea."

According to the letter, the party is being held tomorrow night.

Until then, we have to kill time on our own.

For now, we'll go look for an inn to stay at tonight.

"Hey, mister over there!!"

A loud voice suddenly came from somewhere, and even though I didn't think it was directed at me, I looked around.

"…"

Then, I met the eyes of a girl who was waving at me.

"…No way, right…?"

I took a quick look at the girl's face, but I don't think I've ever seen her before. The headband she was wearing, which would be memorable if I saw it once, I probably haven't seen either.

I figured she must be waving at someone near me, so I decided to move on.

"Hey, isn't that the guy from the nest?"

Aula asked from behind, but I replied that it was probably not him and continued walking.

"Hey, wait a minute, mister over there!!"

…Was she really talking to me?

But my face is ordinary, and I don't have a handsome face that would attract girls.

Damn it!!

"!"

Just then, someone grabbed my arm.

Surprised, I checked who had grabbed me and saw the girl who had been waving earlier.

"Hey! Why are you running away!?"

The girl puffed out her cheeks cutely, looking at me as if she was angry.

"Ah, no, I didn't think I was being called…"

Because I have such a plain face, right?

…

"Anyway, that's not the point, but you guys are looking for an inn, right?"

"…Eh, yeah, but how did you know?"

"Anyone with that much luggage would know you're not from this town, so I figured you'd need an inn. My family runs an inn, so please come!"

"I see."

So that's what it was.

But even though I knew it, I was a little disappointed that it wasn't something else…

"Alright, I'll take you up on that."

I checked with everyone behind me to make sure it was okay, and then asked the girl to show us the way.

"Thank you so much!!"

We followed the girl, who said, "This way, please!" without losing sight of her.

Only I, however, slightly lowered my shoulders at my ordinary face.
