Chapter 30 – Reunion ③

The next day at noon.

“……”

The man with his arms crossed in the villa he received had a serious expression on his face with a crease between his eyebrows.

While his stomach continued to grow hungry, what he saw in his vision was the jet-black armor.

“I guess I don’t have to wear it today after all…?”

For the last 15 minutes, the man has been racking his brains over whether to wear this or not.

Today, as always, the destination was the restaurant in the inn.

Yesterday at the inn, the man had heard, the “one million regils reward for anyone who gives information on where the Jet-black is currently lodging” had been removed from the inn-keeper.

Until now, the man had been sought after by the so-called “three powerhouses”, and in order not to show his will to rebel, he dared to go out on the streets wearing his signature equipment in order to be found, but… Since the search warrant had been removed, the man concluded that he was no longer being looked for.

If so, there was no need to wear his equipment.

“But I think it’s better to wear it… I don’t know what those people with power are thinking…”

He wasn’t too keen on the idea, but if he walked around town wearing his armor for a few days and didn’t see any action, he could assume that they weren’t looking for him anymore.

“Ah, the weapon too, just in case… Having this makes a significant difference in intimidation, I suppose.”

The man, who carefully planned his appearance to stand out and took measures to avoid getting involved with gangsters, began to prepare to head out…

＊＊＊＊

A few dozen minutes later. The moment the man arrived at the inn and he heard,

“Mr. Inn-keeper, does that person always visit at this time?”

“…Ah, what should I say… Um… Well—”

“—I request the disclosure of information.”

“Y-Yes! It’s usually around this time…!”

There were three voices coming from inside. It sounded as if the inn-keeper was being interrogated.

Oh, come on… I came here to have a meal, and now there’s a troublesome customer…

The exchange showed that the two were bothering the inn-keeper.

The man who was listening from the entrance made a reluctant face.

“Which seat does that person always sit in?”

“Well, that’s… Um—”

“—I request the disclosure of information.”

“H-Here! This seat here!”

The conversation stopped for a moment and then resumed.

“Which dish does that person always eat?”

“He doesn’t always have the same thing! He orders randomly…!”

“Randomly? Then what did he eat yesterday?”

“This is the one he ate yesterday!”

…So you could speak that loud, inn-keeper…

The man, trying to remain objective, stood still, observing the situation.

What should I do…? Should I just go to another place…?

Of course, the man wanted to help.

But he definitely didn’t want to get involved. He wouldn’t want to mess things up if he intervened.

…B-But it’s a bit inhuman to ignore this… He’s been a great help to me after all…

The man scratched the head part of his armor out of conflict.

For the time being, maybe they’ll calm down if a customer comes in… With such hopeful expectations in mind, the man reluctantly went inside.

While admiring that this was the best thing he could do,

Ah… I got involved after all…

Once inside, he saw a girl in a nun uniform sitting at the edge of the counter. A female swordsman in armor, probably the girl’s escort, and the two of them were facing the inn-keeper.

The inn-keeper would usually call out to the man as soon as he went through the entrance, but it seemed that he couldn’t afford to do that.

Pitifully… The inn-keeper’s face was also pale and sweating in fear.

W-Well, think of me as an ally and do your best…

Thinking the two customers were still communicating with the inn-keeper…

The man sat down at the counter farthest away from the them, yelling a cheer for the inn-keeper in his heart and trying not to make eye contact with them—And at that moment,

“……”

The three of them stopped talking.

For some reason, silence arose.

And then, the man felt it. Those three were staring at him.

Eh?

The man didn’t expect it in the slightest. It was as if it was three against one.

As if a punishment had struck the man who had tried to escape at one point, the awkwardness hit him more than anyone else.

Of course, he didn’t respond to the glances directed at him.

Trying not to provoke them, the man absentmindedly played with his fingers, pretending not to notice, but he was still able to hear,

“—Would you please wait?”

“Understood.”

After that, the presence of the two customers suddenly got closer and closer.
