====================================
“Yummy! Clarice, try this too.”
Misha was excited about the sumptuous meal in the morning.
Finding Sasha's enabled her to laugh from the bottom of her heart.
“Yes! It's delicious. I've never eaten anything like this before!”
Sasha especially prepared breakfast for us.
Sasha said she was unable to thank us for now and yet she gave me 10 gold coins.
No, a million dollars! Well, it's not much for the price of your own child's life, is it?
She said she would definitely express her gratitude the next time we meet. Though I believe 10 gold coins are more than enough.
At any rate, thanks to Misha, Clarice has learned barrier magic, and I've become a lot stronger.
“Are you eating properly too, Mars? You'll regret it otherwise, okay?”
Misha is in a really good mood.
Sasha, while looking at such a cheerful Misha, recounted to me about the slave trading in this town.
“It seems that only a few people knew about the illegal slave trading in this town.
The guild officials and the adventurers in this town knew about it but the Moonlit Dark Night seems not to be an adventurer from this town, so they didn't know about it. The people of this town wanted to split the money from selling you three among themselves.”
Maybe the fact that they didn't take our equipment, the different confinement place, and the fact that they didn't use hand ropes was to make the Moonlit Dark Night and this town’s other adventurers realize that we three were not commodities (slaves).
I asked Sasha what had been bothering her.
“The reason why we let them kidnapped us was that Misha said she saw someone she recognize, do you have any idea who that might be?
I asked Misha at the auction house yesterday but that person wasn't at the auction house...”
“Mhm, I don't have any idea...because none of the adventurers Misha met before in the labyrinth city of Gilburn will come this way...”
“I see.”
Well, I suppose it's not like it's something that needs to be resolved right now.
“Anyway, it's unusual for Misha to be this excited. I think it's the first time, isn't it?”
“Is that so? She and Clarice have been having a blast in the carriage since the day we met.”
“I guess they need friends of similar age... Elves live a long time, don't they?
So there is no such thing as marriageable age... many people don't get married and don't have children. That's why there are no children around Misha's age. ......Would you like to be friends with Misha?”
After Sasha said so, I, Clarice, and Misha looked at each other and laughed.
I and Clarice said ...
“We are already friends.”
While Misha replied happily
“Yes, I and the two of them are friends!”
Misha said with a mouth full of cream.
Sasha looked at Misha's face and smiled happily.
After finishing breakfast, I, Clarice, and Misha took a walk through the streets of Ganar.
Sasha, together with the adventurers she had brought with her, was going to question the people involved in our kidnapping.
Sasha said they would only be given a stern warning...
While we were wandering around town, a man came and stood in front of us from the shadows.
He was handtied and gagged. He was screaming at us with all his willpower.
“Ah, it's Sir Dames. It's been a while. It seems you sir have developed quite a hobby for this short while I haven't seen you. Well, we're in a hurry, so we'll see you later. Have a nice day.”
When Clarice provoked him, Misha and I couldn't help but laugh.
But Dames was desperately trying to get us to untie the rope.
“Eh, why are you staring at me so intently? Don't tell me that you have feelings for me?”
Clarice goaded Dames again. He had almost killed her once so it’s understandable.
Dames's face turned bright red at Clarice's words and he started screaming again.
“No way...your face is turning so red...but I'm only a six-year-old child...”
Their comical dialogue continued, and Misha and I were laughing at it the whole time.
In the middle of the comedy, Sasha came in.
Sasha looked at Dames as if she was looking at a piece of dirt and asked us.
“Is this man an acquaintance of yours?”
“Yes, well, there's a bit of a story…”
I answered her.
Sasha untied Dames and removed the gag. I was sure Dames was going to scream and scream, but surprisingly, he was very quiet. He was looking in one direction all the time. Looking at Sasha's face...
But Sasha was still looking at Dames like she is looking at a piece of dirt.
Maybe Dames has really woken up as Clarice said.
Sasha kept Dames a distance away from us, entrusted him with another adventurer, and came back to us.
“Is he all right? I feel like he's looking at me all the time...”
“No, I believe it’s not just a feeling but he is staring at you.”
When I explained the situation, Sasha's beautiful face became distorted.
And then it was noon.
Misha's good mood lasted until mid-morning.
Both of us had to move on to our next destination.
“Misha, we will be going our ways here. We'll miss you but we'll see you again when the time comes.”
“It was a pleasure talking with you, Misha. See you next time.”
When Clarice and I said goodbye, Misha cried out, "Don't want! I don't want you to leave.”
I was starting to feel sorry for Misha but there’s no helping this.
Then Sasha asked me where we came from.
I hesitated but eventually Clarice and I told her our origins.
Both of them were very surprised to learn that we were children of nobles. Moreover, I was from the Kingdom of Balkus, which was at war.
Sasha, who had heard of our destination, said
“It's not easy to give my thanks when you're that far away...”
“It’s fine when we meet again next time. It's not like I'm going to be in Irgusia all the time anyway.”
“That’s fine then, I'll be sure to thank you one day. Misha too, you have to remember it properly, okay?”
“Yes! I'll give you something special for Mars. You can expect something big.”
Misha cried and winked at me with a crumpled face.
I and Clarice laughed hysterically at that.
Misha and Sasha headed northeast while Clarice and I headed west; both parties went to their own destination.
