After sneaking a laugh, Souya got up from the bed and faced Mia and Merylou with a composed look on his face.
“…… What’s the matter, Souya? Stomach ache?”
“No, don’t worry about it …… But more importantly, Merylou-kun. It’s about Belmont-kun’s appearance, but I think it’s reasonable. If you are going to use magic, you can’t wear heavy equipment. I suppose you could say he chose that style.”
Souya offered his thoughts on his black tights.
The use of magic also requires detailed movements of the body. That is why magicians prefer to wear light clothing such as robes. Therefore, magic warriors have to fight while accepting the disadvantage of being weak when struck.
If they wear armor, it is limited to leather armor at best. The success rate of magic activation with metallic armor, which greatly impedes movement, is only 50%.
As is the case with Souya’s Goddess Eris business suit, those tights are probably not just tights, but magical equipment with excellent protective effects. No, they must be.
“I see …… Anyway, what do you think? What do you think of those Red Moon guys? …… That dark elf woman was quite an agitator. I forgive her because she apologized to me, but they might be a very serious bunch.”
“I think Merylou-kun is right, we were underestimated at first. But after she realized that we were a competent team, she changed her attitude. If she is a meritocrat, then she may be more secure in the commissioning process …… The only other thing that bothered me a little was…”
“…… bothers you? You mean the all black tights?”
“Let’s put that aside for the moment. It is not directly related to this request, but he seems to have worked with the Rose before. I think I will exchange information with Belmont-kun tomorrow. It would be a good opportunity to get information about the royal capital. He also wanted information about Ilstadt. I will have him spread the threat of the Red Horn through him.”
Souya was concerned about two points. The fact that he was someone who had worked with Rosalind the Rose.
And that three of the six heroes were missing. One of the missing persons was no doubt the Silver Rei.
(…… Ares the Golden, Fiine the White, and Vlad the Black. Does he know the whereabouts of any of these people? Also, could I contact Rosalind through him?)
Belmont is a well-known adventurer in the Royal Capital. He may have high-quality information. While asking for information about the Royal Capital, we will give him what he wants to know about Ilstadt and more information about the Red Horn.
If we can spread the word about the Red Horn in Doldberg and induce quality adventurers, we will kill two birds with one stone.
“Rose …… You mean, Rosalind-sama. She’s a very famous adventurer. The demon lord slayer. The one that appears at the end of the Tale of the Six Heroes.”
“I know that much too. I wanted to ask Belmont-kun about his story working with a legendary adventurer.”
“I see …… Oh right, speaking of the six heroes, wasn’t that Silver Rei guy also a magic warrior? …… I heard that he was a painful guy who wore a black coat that covered his mouth …… Now that I look at it, Souya’s outfit is strange, too. I think most magic warriors are eccentric.”
Souya listened to this with an indescribable look on his face. It’s no wonder people think I’m strangely dressed. A business suit would be unfamiliar to her.
(…… Would a black coat that covered the mouth be too painful?)
Souya wanted to ask her about it, but he felt that Merylou would deny it outright, so he kept quiet in the end.
“What did Mia think?’
“Um, do you mean the Silver Rei’s outfit?”
“No, I know that Mia is a fan of the Silver Rei. I’m talking about the Red Moon guys.”
“…… Uh, yes …… I was more impressed with the Warrior Priestess woman, Monk of the God of War Ragacia. We didn’t get to talk to each other there, but I hope we get along.”
“Oh, you mean that dark-haired sister. She said her name was Stella …… The doctrinal differences can be a pain in the ass.”
Mia used to have a beef with Bud, a monk of the God of War Ragacia, who belonged to the Wind Breakers.
It was not so much a dispute, it’s just a one-sided one in which the other side looked down on the Earth Mother Goddess Mikaela, so she did not seem to be to blame, but the incident must have been traumatic.
“……At any rate, I’m hungry, let’s have dinner. There seems to be a diner at this inn, so why don’t we go there?”
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
As if agreeing to Merylou’s suggestion, the three of them finished their dinner at the dining room of the Waterfowl Pavilion briefly, chatting and laughing.
The food, which made the most of the mountain produce, was quite delicious, and Souya, who was used to eating at the adventurers’ tavern in Ilstadt, was able to finish the meal with a fresh feeling. I guess this is one of the best parts of traveling.
The three members of Red Moon were not in the dining room. Either they had already finished their dinner, or they were out at another restaurant outside the inn. Or they might still be in their rooms.
Souya looked out the half-open window. It was already getting dark outside the inn after twilight. There were probably only a few things he could do today.
“Let’s go back to our rooms now that we’ve finished eating …… Souya can come over a little later.”
“What’s wrong, Merylou-kun?”
“We need to change into your nightgown. If you want to see me naked, I can show you, but I don’t know about Mia …… You’ve got some nice things so show it to him. You’re as good as Charlotte.”
When Merylou grinned and laughed, Mia looked a little angry and pinched both of Merylou’s cheeks.
“I’d forgotten about that. Let’s get out of the seat …… Not as a side trip, but I’m going to take a walk around the inn for a while. But it’s going to be cold outside, and I don’t plan on spending much time there, so be quick.”
“Take care …… Souya, be careful, you’re not as known as you’re in Ilstadt.”
“I’ll refrain from acting suspiciously and won’t go far. I just wanted to catch the night breeze.”
“…… It’s getting a little chilly for the season. I think the wind is cold too. Please be careful, Souya-san.”
“Oh. I may soon be in need of a winter cloak …… Then, see you later.”
Souya said goodbye to them, put on the cloak that was hanging on the chair, and left the Waterfowl Pavilion.
After sneaking a laugh, Souya got up from the bed and faced Mia and Merylou with a composed look on his face.
