Chapter 10
10 . Chapter 10
After leaving the guild, I was taken by Lailsan to guide me through this Hendil Kingdom .
While walking around the city, everything that come to my eyes were introduced but almost exclusively only food shop, such as “That’s delicious!” Or “That depends on the person!” . Still, I’m grateful for her guide .
And we went to see the guild training ground, one of it was a small Colosseum built in the city, which was wider and bigger than I had imagined .
At there, the adventurers from the guild were doing something like self-training .
What surprised me most when I saw the training scene was that flames and thunder were flying out from the adventurers’ palms and swords .
I was told by Schiff, “That is magic . ”, but when I actually saw it, my open mouth can’t blocked .
“Kaito-kun, What kind of magic do you use?”
Laila looking back at me, who is walking down the main street, away from the training ground, and asked me that .
……Use? Magic?
“Eh, can I use Magic!?”
“Ehh!? No, wait a minute, you have never used any Magic!?”
Rather, could everyone in here use Magic?
Schiff, on my head speak when he see the surprised Laila who reacts a little overboard .
“Kaito is unfamiliar with Magic . And, I’m not that familiar with human magic either . ”
“Even Schiff too? Hmmm, then how did you make a familiar contract with a monster? You use magical power for that, right?”
“I just used a slightly older method for that . ”
Laila reacts weirdly that I don’t know whether she was astonished or surprised .
She took a small deep breath, regained her composure, slowed down her walking speed and lined up next to me .
“Then, Kaito doesn’t know your own Magic System . ”
“System? is it something from a family line or bloodline?”
“Fufu, no, it’s different . ”
She laughed funny and raised her index finger to explain to me .
“A Magic system is, You could say that it’s something like a magical attribute that an individual has . Not everyone has the same magic, it feels like there’s an attribute that are suitable for each person . ”
“…… I see . ”
“You also have magical power, so you must have your own magic . ”
Me? My own Magic… .
Somehow, I’m really excited .
“But Kaito . I think your magic may not be suitable for attacking . ”
“Is that so?”
“Schiff-kun, What do you mean?”
Me and Laila react to Schiff’s voice .
Could he know even at this point that my Magic is not suitable for attacking?
“Kaito’s magical power is extremely pure . If you compare it to a food taste, it’s delicious . If you compare it to a color, it’s colorless and transparent . I don’t think that such magical power has an attribute . ”
“Colorless, transparent …”
“Delicious magical power, huh . I wonder, what kind of taste is it… . . Somehow this talk makes me feel hungry . ”
I don’t know why, but Laila just looked at me and gulped?
… . . But it’s not suitable for attacking huh?

I don’t want to hurt anyone else, but as a man I can’t help but admire that kind of magic .
That’s why I’m a little disappointed .
“Alright, Since I’m hungry, so let’s go back to the inn that I introduced to Kaito-kun . ”
“Eh? We gonna eat at the inn?”
“Yeah . I guarantee the taste . It’s a good place, and we adventurers are also indebted a lot there . ”
An inn where they take care of adventurers .
When I heard that the rice was delicious, somehow it made me feel hungry too .
I was sick yesterday and today, so I only ate soup for two days, so I wanted to eat something decent .
The building we went was not beautiful enough for me to compliment it .
A brick house with a dark atmosphere and a feeling of the season .
Laila went to a place that would look like a haunted house from far, and opened the wooden door and shouted, “I’m back!”
Then someone walked from the back .
The woman who came out was a blind woman and about 30 years old, and when she found Laila, she sighed blatantly .
“You still so noisy as usual . I hope that you come back after your physical strength become lesser . ”
“My physical strength is lesser than usual already you know . ”
“So, who is that kid?”
She gazed at me with a sharp eye, but since it’s my first time meeting, I have to introduce myself firmly .
“Nice to meet you, my name is Kaito Arihara and I just came to this kingdom the other day . ”

“I’m Meruku . I run this inn here… . Is it a monster that’s on your shoulder and head?”
She’s aware of a Schiff who has transformed into a hat .
Perhaps Schiff is also surprised, he transforms from a hat to a black cat and descends to the ground .
“It’s the first time I’ve been seen even after I transformed… . I’m sorry for the late greeting, I’m Schiff, a shape shifter . ”
After saying that, Meruku-san turned her eyes to the Schiff who bowed his head .
And She sighed after seeing Laila who is smiling .
“… A silver slime and a talking shape shifter, huh? You’re carrying a strange monster… . Why do my inn only have a bunch of strange guys?”
Meruku-san held her eyes down as if she’s tired .
Then, Laila talks to her .
“Oh, Meruku-san, there’s a vacant room right? Or Rather, I’m the only one living here now, so a lot of room must be vacant!”
“You, can you really only say something that only hurt my ears, huh…?”
“You see, Kaito-kun here, he’s looking for an inn to stay in, so please let him stay overnight!”
……Hmm? Wait a moment, only Laila lives here?
I tilt my head as I heard some phrases that make me curious .
“Sigh, Kaito, right? Is that all your luggage?”
“Yes”
“Choose a room that is vacant . I can prepare breakfast and dinner, but tell me in advance when you eat . ”
“How much does it cost per night?”

“Ah… . ”
Meruku-san looks from my head to my toes .
“… Three bronze coins are enough for fifteen days . ”
“eh!?”
Even I, who still don’t know the value of money in this world, can understand it .
Obviously it’s too cheap .
Maybe this person just said it on a whim?
But, Laila doesn’t look so surprised .
Still, even Schiff feel that it’s too cheap, and his tail is stretched out as he’s surprised .
“Well then, I’ll go to my room . ”
She said so annoyingly to us who were stiff, turned her back and went inside .
“Oh, I’d like to have dinner with Kaito soon, so please prepare it . ”
Even if Lailsan said like something that, I just ignored her .
Perhaps she was accustomed to this kind of reaction, she just turned around with a smile .
“Then, why don’t you choose your room?”
“Yes… . ”
It wasn’t cheap, it was super ultra cheap .
For the time being, I secured a place to sleep… right?
However, even if I don’t think much about it, I can understand that an inn with meal included for only three bronze coins are too exceptional .
