Asio became a good face and offered Shester a piece of paper.
Shester nodded loudly and received the paper with his right hand out.
"Made a deal. Then we'll have to get to our next destination."
"Yes, but..."
"What happened? Is there a problem, too?
"No, I'm not particularly having a big problem...... could you look at that address?
Shester looked at the paper as he was told.
Then, for a moment, Shester asked Asio with his expression back, although he frowned.
"... I'm not sure because I'm dark on Odine's geography... but where is this Tarka?
"It's not Audean"
"What? Not Odine?
"Yes, Tarka is a town on the outskirts of Odine, walking from here... well, I was wondering if it would take about two hours..."
"Two hours? That's a long way to go again... why did the Ars take an inn in such a distant suburban town? Odine, what a rotten hotel there is in the city... and no matter what kind of luxury hotel it was, I should have given you as much money as I could stay..."
"... Probably, but that's it..."
"Yeah? Do you have any idea?
"Yes. Actually, when they arrived in Audine, it was a time when there was a big festival that mentioned the Empire City. So I thought the hotel was probably full..."
"... I see... so I had no choice but to suburb... okay. If that's the case, I'm convinced. Then let's head to the hotel named Reed in the town of Tarka."
