Early morning two days after Kikka signed a contract with Mame, the Blakiston's Fish Owl. Today we leave for the labyrinth city. I'm looking forward to seeing the state of the labyrinth city. I'll just be careful not to show Belle and the others any ugly scenes.
"Well then, I'm off...take care of the housekeeper..."
"Okay, but you have to call your sister properly, too."
"I know. I'll call Dine and Dolly to the labyrinth city when I need help and at least for a day. Are you sure you don't want me to call Nomos?"
"Yes. I have work to do. So don't call me unless you need me.
"Okay."
Since we can't move around the labyrinth city with a lot of people, we decided that it would basically be just me, Sylphy, Belle and the others, and Sarah and the others. That's a lot of people, though.
Deanne and Dolly want to take a walk around the labyrinth city and see the furniture that will be used in the house if it is designated as a sanctuary.
I think they are getting a little ahead of themselves, not knowing if it will actually be a sanctuary. She seems to be looking forward to it a lot, so it would be very damaging if it is not designated.
"Yuta. Belle call me right away!" "Coo-coo!" "Goei!" "Cooo!"
The belles are buzzing and waving their hands in the air. They're looking forward to Labyrinth City.
"I know. I'll call you when we get a place to stay like last time, so be a good girl and wait for me.
I'll be waiting for you... cue, cue, cue, cue.
The belles are nodding their heads seriously. Well, it's good that they are willing to wait for us, but it's good that they are willing to do it.
"Please do."
Sara, Marco, and Kikka are ready to leave after saying goodbye to Fukuchan, Mame, and Uri, so they ask Sylphy to take them.
**
"We're finally here."
We landed in the forest where we had landed the last time we came to the labyrinth city, walked to the gates, and presented our guild cards to enter.
"Yuta. What are you going to do now?"
（First, I'm going to the Goumu Torque Inn. No, I'll stop by the general store on the way to see Marie for some information. I think people probably know that I've wholesaled the fire dragon, so please be on the lookout for me.)
"Okay. Yuta and Sara and the others will be protected, so don't worry.
(Yes.)
I would feel safer if Sylphy would take care of it. She urges Sarah and the others to walk away. Since we did nothing but shopping the last time we were here, it would be good to visit various places this time. It's a pity that it's hard to go to the city at night until the troubles of the Adventurers' Guild are over.
"Sara, Marco, Kikka, don't be so nervous. Just because they don't like me doesn't mean they're going to attack me. Besides, Sylphy is guarding me very well."
"Master, no. When I was in the slum earlier, someone came to me and said some things, so I may have caused you some trouble."
Come to think of it, these kids were kind of floating around in the slums. If these kids had escaped from the slum, they might have been accused of something. But to be honest, I don't think it would be a problem.
"Don't worry about it. Sylphy will protect you no matter what they do to you."
In the first place, if Sara and her friends summon Fukuchan and the others, they will be no match for them. Since we can't see them, there's no problem if we summon them right here ...... but there's a chance they're not used to the city, so it's better to wait until they've settled down at the inn.
I walked around the town with my eyes open, but I arrived at the general store without any problems. Wasn't it a flag?
As we entered the general store, a female clerk came up to us. She must be the one who had shown Sarah and the others around before.
Welcome, Mr. Yuta. The manager has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in the back. I'll call him right away.
Before I know it, the waiter remembers my name and addresses me as "sir. Is it because I'm a customer? They must have made a lot of money from the materials they wholesale.
"Wait a minute, please. I just got here and I don't have a place to stay. I'd appreciate it if you could arrange a time for me to meet with you after I get a place to stay.
"I see. I'll check on it right away.
Yes. Thank you very much.
When I asked this, the waiter bowed and moved quickly to the back of the room. It looked to the casual observer as if he was walking, even though he was moving at a considerable speed. That's an amazing technique. I don't know if it's a necessary skill for a waiter.
"Sara, Marco, Kikka, I'll be at the inn as soon as I'm done here.
"Hey, master. Hey, Master. I won't go far, can I look around the store?"
Is it boring to just wait? It's no problem to browse the nearby merchandise.
"Okay. Sarah and Kikka, you go ahead."
While I was seeing the children off and thinking about what to do in the labyrinth city, Sylphy spoke to me with an indescribable expression on her face.
"Hey, Yuta. That waitress seems to be planning to set up a dinner for tonight. He was mumbling something about how this restaurant would be safe and sound if we gave him some alcohol and offered Miss Marie as a sacrifice.
I don't know what I should look like either. ...... That waitress, she kind of had a fishy smell, but is her personality bad too? I mean, he's just a clerk, right? What good would it do if the store grows by offering up the young lady?
"Oh, Yuta is supposed to invite Marie to dinner tonight. The waitress is encouraging Marie to turn down the offer of a meal from the money man. It seems that the waitress has been trying to get Marie to make a move on you for a long time.
You're a waitress and you do whatever you want. ....... Well, what am I supposed to do in a situation like this? It's so unexpected I can't think straight.
（Sylphy. I don't know what to do.)
"If you don't want to go out with them, why don't you just say no? If you want to talk, we can have a normal dinner and come home normal."
So be it. If I'm offered as a sacrifice, I don't have to accept it. Marie is a pretty girl, but she's got some kind of a twisted sense of humor. It's my choice whether or not to eat. I'm not ashamed of it.
（That's true. (That's also true. The meal is going to be troublesome, so I'll decline and ask them to make time to talk.)
"Oh, Marie, you're up for it. She started to calculate the profit she could get from her relationship with Yuta, saying that she was afraid of her good looks. In a way, it's nice to see her smile smeared with desire.
That's a refreshingly profit-driven attitude. Not at all surprising. Come to think of it, I wonder what that waitress is going to do about our disagreement even if we end up having a meal. Surely there will be a gap in conversation between me and Mr. Marie, right?
"Yuta. The waiter is coming back. Marie was going to come too, but the waitress stopped her. They say you should show them how you look dressed up, not how you normally look."
(Okay. Thank you, Sylphy)
But she is totally manipulating Marie, who is supposed to be the manager of the store. Who is that clerk?
Thank you for waiting. The manager would like to have dinner with Mr. Yuta tonight.
Don't lie ...... with a smile and a smirk, not the slightest hint of discomfort. If you hadn't heard from Shilfi, you would have been fooled.
I'm sorry, but I have some plans for the dinner. I would be grateful if you could give me a few minutes to talk with you in the evening.
"I see, the time is fine, so please come at a time that is convenient for you, Yuta-sama."
What is this guy? I'm not upset about being turned down. What is he going to say to Marie?
"Thank you. May I ask your name?"
I'm sorry I'm late. Please call me Sonia.
I understand. Sonia, it's nice to meet you. I will visit you later.
I call Sarah and the others to come out of the general store. Sonia followed me all the way outside to see me off. For some reason, I can't accept this.
(Sylphy. Can you check what Sonia-san is going to tell Marie-san?)
I know it's not a good thing that I'm eavesdropping, but I have to make sure what Sonia and Marie are talking about, or I'll get involved in something strange.
"Yes, I'll check it out."
I've asked Sylphy to help me out for now, so I'll know what those two are talking about. With a little peace of mind, we head for the Goumu Torque inn. I feel tired as soon as I arrive at the labyrinth city. While we were walking, Sylphy told us that Marie and Sonia had started a meeting.
Sonia made a simple excuse. She said that Yuta had some urgent business. She explains that they will have dinner some other time and that today is just a talk. She hasn't given up yet, so she will probably ask you out for dinner again.
Well, dining with a beautiful woman is supposed to be a pleasure, but I don't think I can enjoy it with Marie. I'm afraid of leaving it like this, so I'll apologize to Marie when I see her later for refusing to have dinner with her.
If I do that, she will know that we are talking about different things, and Sonia's outburst will be reduced a little. However, I'm afraid of Ms. Sonia's mentality to tell a lie that would be immediately exposed.
（Anyway, I will try my best to avoid it as much as possible.)
If we carelessly accept the invitation, we may end up endlessly collecting in the labyrinth. Although I have only talked to Marie and Sonia for a short time, I can be sure that they are the type of people who would suck down the bones of their prey.
I thought I could trust Ms. Marie because of her greed for profit, but I didn't expect the appearance of Ms. Sonia who has a different kind of greed.
I arrived at the inn of Goumu Torque while thinking about it ......... What's going on?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
