Chapter 8: Arc I – Chapter 7: They know very well how to enjoy the life

After realizing that she was not hurt, the young woman stopped shaking and looked at her own body. And realizing that she had been cleaned with magic, she shivered again while bowed even more than before.

“Th-Th-Thank you, f-for cl-cleaning me s-sir mage, b-but I don-don't have an-anything to gi-give in-in re-return".

‘That seems to have gotten even more troublesome…’

"You don't have to worry, he did it as an apology." Ophilia stroked the young woman's head again while speaking in a reassuring voice.

“Bu-Bu-But-”

"If you insist on paying, why don't you show us where the inn is?" Ophilia said.

“A-All ri-right!”

‘She is quite skillful in dealing with people, as expected of my lovely Ophilia.’

'But... What's the point of that? It's just a waste of time, we already know where the inn is, we could just leave this girl here and go out'.

"Then let's go!" Ophilia said, holding the girl's hand.

"Y-Yes!" She replied, "I-If we go down that street w-we can get there in a sh-short time."

After that, the three of them headed towards the inn while Ophilia kept talking to the girl, trying to calm her down.

Along the way, they discovered that the girl's name was Emma and the reason that she was being surrounded by those guys on this almost deserted street.

Apparently, those 3 guys had arrived in town a few weeks ago. Although they caused some troubles for the ordinary people, they never went too far because of the city lord, who is a retired Knight. 

But that changed recently, when they were recruited by a noble. Barloc, who was called boss by the other 2, became more and more arrogant, to the point of beginning to harass some women that he was interested in.

This until today, when they were pressing Emma and ended up messing with the wrong person.

"Sigh~~~~~~" After hearing the whole story, Sian took a long breath and looked at the sky.

‘It's terrible to have to listen a story when the speaker repeats the first syllable of each word so many times.’

Although he thought that, he spoke carefreely, "Well, that guy must have been more convinced and arrogant because he probably won a title from that noble.” 

"Do you mean the title of Exemplary Warrior?" Ophilia asked.

"Uhum, this type of simple-minded person usually gets cocky after receiving a title."

"You make it sound simple, but isn't it an incredible thing to get a title?" Ophilia asked doubtfully.

"Nah, these titles are just a way for nobles to please people and give as a reward, after all these titles give only fame.”

"But to win the title of Exemplary Warrior is not it necessary to have at least a minimum of control over magic?" 

"Well, yes, but who guarantees that the nobles will grant the titles properly? That guy, err... What was his name again... Bardock, I think that was it-"

"Barloc." Ophilia reminded him.

"Whatever, no one will remember an extra at all." Sian spoke while he shrugged.

"Extra?" Ophilia asked, confused.

"Well, according to the 'Sacred Treasure' it is an unimportant character that sometimes serves to exalt the strength of the protagonist of a novel and after that, he never appears again. But even if he did, he would at most be a secondary character who will remain unimportant."

"Novel?" She seemed even more confused.

"It seems to be a kind of story- it doesn't matter, getting back to the subject, he had at most the strength of a soldier, with the little amount of mana he had, it is impossible to receive this title from a noble of high rank, he was probably a new noble trying to win some followers."

"Do you have a title?" Ophilia suddenly asked.

"*Cough cough*" Sian was taken by surprise by Ophilia's question, "I do, but it's not as good as you think."

"How not? Because from what I have seen, you are far beyond being normal, perhaps an Epic Warrior, since you broke that man's arm just by tightening with your hand and can also use magic with shortened enchantment." She said.

"Kulhum, titles are not that important. More important than that, the weather today is great, don't you think?" Sian said, trying to change the subject brazenly.

"Ohh, trying to escape like that, now I'm more curious." Ophilia said with a mischievous smile.

Even the shy Emma seemed curious.

'I'm not usually ashamed to say my title, but when it comes to saying it to the person I love, it ends up being embarrassing.'

'Oh, dear Goddess Zenobia, I promise that if you help me to get out of this, I will make an altar for you someday.'

As if Sian's prayers had been heard, some sounds came from an old house that they were passing by.

“Ahnn ahnn ahnn…”

‘Nice job, as expected from my favorite Goddess.’

Sian raised his thumb internally.

“Arhhh ahnnn uhmmmmm…”

"To do 'exercises' at this time of the morning, they know very well how to enjoy life." Sian spoke carefreely.

Ophilia remained silent, not caring about the moans that came from the old house.

But Emma had an extremely red face and looked uneasily at the floor.

'Looking at her like that, she's really a beauty.'

*Kruuuuuuooooooonnnnnnn*

Amid the moans that echoed down the street, the fierce roar of a belly sounded.

Sian and Ophilia immediately turned their heads towards the place where the sound came from.

Feeling the look of the two, Emma got even redder and shrunk all over, it looked like she was going to stick her head on the floor at any moment.

"It reminds me that I am also starving." Sian put his hands on his waist bag and took out 3 apples, “Since you don't have any open place to have a meal, let's at least eat something.”

Ophilia received the apple, but Emma seemed hesitant to accept.

"You can take it, it's free, you can be at ease." Ophilia urged her.

"Th-Then I'll ta-take it, thank you!" 

Although she seemed reluctant to accept, she devoured the apple with voraciousness.

"Ummm... It's delicious and has a sweet taste..." Ophilia said after taking a bite.

"Yes, ve-very tasty." 

Sian puffed out his chest and said, "That apple was picked from my plantation."

"Your plantation?" Ophilia asked.

"Yes, I own some land where I grow various types of fruits and vegetables, but they are a little far from here."

The time it took them to distance themselves from the moans, was the same time it took Emma to finish eating the apple.

'She seems to be very hungry.'

Sian took out another apple and offered it to her, "No need to worry, just accept the apples as a form of payment for taking us to the inn."

“Th-Th-Than-Thank you” She accepted without reservation.

In the blink of an eye she devoured a total of 6 apples.

Sian handed over another apple and said, "It looks like you were pretty hungry."

“S-S-S-So-S-Sorry!" Emma spoke hurriedly and lowered her head.

"You don't have to worry, you can eat as many as you want, I'm just curious, because by your physique, although you are so hungry, you don't seem to suffer from hunger." Sian said.

"Nor-Normally i-it's not like this, i-it's because of t-the war, the no-nobles need su-supplies fo-for the army." Emma answered as quickly as she could.

"Ohh, I had forgotten that, when I came I met with edrorian's army coming to the border. But I don't think we need to worry about Edrorian attacking Poutis." Sian said carefreely.

“I think it's best not to be so carefree, Solaris is very close to the border and now that Tarodel has gone to war with prazar, Edrorian won't miss this opportunity.” Ophilia said worriedly.

“We shouldn't worry about that now, if the worst happens, we can just get out of the city.” Sian said as he handed Emma another apple.

“How did you manage to put so many apples in that tiny bag? ” Ophilia asked.

"This is a magic bag, despite its small size, it fits a lot here." Sian replied.

"Magic bag?" Ophilia said in surprise, "I heard that only very wealthy merchants and high-ranking nobles owned one, the more time I spent with you, the more I feel that you become mysterious."

“Oh really? I don't feel so mysterious, I think that any high-level hunter has a magic bag to carry the useful parts of the monsters.” 

They continued talking for a while until they finally arrived at the inn.

Sian gave Emma a basket with several apples before saying goodbye.
