 After defeating the ogre lord and talking to the guild master, I returned back to the road where I helped the adventurers earlier and resumed northward towards Harula .
 But I was walking unsteadily since I had used too much MP . Let’s take a break for a bit……

 Along the way, I saw an area that appeared to be the emergency gathering place for the subjugation party in the distance . The two adventurers I helped earlier were likely amongst them . That aside, there were quite a lot of people gathered . Were there also many injuries?
 It seems the group noticed me and started waving towards me . I gave a slight bow and passed by . I basically just wanted to avoid any troublesome run-ins .

 After a while, I managed to arrive at a place where I could see the gates leading into Harula . I could also see children gathering herbs in the surroundings . Yep, but I couldn’t take it anymore .
 I sat down and took a break . To be frank, I didn’t really have much stamina to begin with .

 As I sat beside the road, drinking water and resting, carriages carrying people related to the ogre subjugation party and guild officials passed by numerous times . They were probably manpower recruited to transport the ogre corpses .
 Ahh, it must be rough for everyone .
 As I was watching, the guild master came riding along in a carriage .

“……What are you doing here?”

“I was taking a break because I got tired . I don’t really have that much stamina . ”
“Aren’t you pretty close to the town already?
“Yes . ”
“………I see . You’re almost there, do your best . ”
“I will do my best . ”

 He had a really complicated expression on his face, but I ignored it . I was still just an E rank and I was also still just a child . So wasn’t this just natural?

 As I sat there, a party of probably C ranks passed by in front of me and started pointing and laughing at me . I could hear some outrageous things being said .

 Yep, that’s right I’m weak . But this weakling was also the one that saved you all .

 But I didn’t say anything since it would be troublesome . Besides, I was an adult on the inside . As such, I would overlook them and move on .
 Rather, did they really not notice anything when they saw Norn beside me? Were they really that shortsighted? Well, I guess there were just low-level C ranks . What disappointing C Ranks!

 A bit later, the two adventurers I helped earlier also came along .

“What are you doing here?”
“I’m resting because I’m tired . I don’t really have that much stamina . ”
“……Is that so . ”

 The two of them also had complicated expressions . I didn’t really get what they all wanted from me .

“Ah, right . We wanted to express our gratitude to you again . Thank you for saving us . ”
“Don’t mention it . ”

“That’s right……uh, you’re planning on staying in Harula for a while again, right? If you need anything or if there’s something you don’t understand, tell us . As long as it’s within our power, we will help you . ”
“Yeah, if it’s within our capabilities, we’ll definitely help . ”

“We’re not saying you have to or anything, so just keeping it in mind is alright . ”

“Alright, then at that time, I will rely on you two . ”

 Yep, these two gave off a good vibe . Unlike a certain somebody .

“W-What’s with that! It’s completely different than with me!”

 Ugh, that certain somebody was there . Why was he always showing up like this?

“I’ll help you too! Please say anything!”
“No, it’s fine . ”
“Why!”
“I already received your gratitude with the vegetables you gave me, and me leaving the forest had nothing to do with you . I was planning to leave the forest, so the only difference was just a matter of sooner or later . ”

“Even so… . . but…… . ”
“Neil! Why do you care so much about that child!”
“Tess……”
“Come on! We’re leaving now!”
“Yeah…… . . ”

 Neil was dragged away by Tess . For my sake, please keep a strong grip on his leash, okay?
 After watching the scene unfold, Collie gave a slight wave towards me before chasing after the two . Hm? Where’s the common sense person, Beck? Was he perhaps doing something else? ……Well, whatever .
 I was starting to feel better so I decided to enter the town .

 But when I entered the town, there was quite a ruckus going on . Which wasn’t surprising, since the group of ogres actually had an ogre lord leading them, even more so since they were all still defeated .
 But most of the adventurers who took part in the subjugation party had complicated expressions on their faces . Well, it wasn’t like they were the ones who defeated the ogre lord, and I was also the one who eliminated half the herd……… but despite that, there were still some people among them who stood about looking proud . Which was quite something in itself, I was honestly amazed .

 But I was fine as long as I got my share and my peace was preserved .

 And so, while the uproar continued, I headed towards an inn . It was the luxury inn that I stayed at before . I was tired of dealing with the cook, but there wasn’t any other place where Norn and Bell could also stay .

 Soon I arrived at the inn .

“Um, I would like to st . ”
“Why can’t I stay here! I came all the way from the royal capital to stay here!”
“I’m sorry, but we’re full right now . ”
“Damn it I came here because I wanted to try the rumored dish…… . ”

 The man who had been yelling left the inn while muttering .

 ………Eh, what?

“Ah, Ren!”
“Lily . ”

“You finally came back! You told me that you were going to a village in the south, but you didn’t come back even after a month, I was so worried that something might have happened……”
“Various things came up…… . and did something happen here? It looks like you have quite a lot of customers here . ”

“Yes, that’s right . That……it’s the dish that Ren made before where the cook made a failed imitation of . It seems that rumors of it have spread to the fief capital and even the royal capital…… . a lot of people come to Harula just to eat it . ”
“…… . Just to eat that?”

 ……I couldn’t really understand why . I would never want to eat that again . It would destroy my stomach .

“Yes, that’s sort of what I also think . But thanks to it, business is booming! That person is also very happy because of it . ”
“That’s good and all…… . but that makes things a bit troublesome for me . I can’t stay here if it’s full, right? And there aren’t any other inns which would allow Norn and Bell to stay too…… . ”

“Ah!”
“Eh?”

 Lily suddenly raised her voice and stepped closer to me to whisper something .

“About that, it’s actually fine . ”
“……?”

“Um, the owner of this inn actually kept the room you were using before open for you . ”
“Eh?”

“Since it’s thanks to you that business is great right now, when I told him that you were planning on coming back again, he had the room kept open in hopes that you would stay again once you returned . ”
“That is, I’m grateful for that, but is it alright? The customer from before……”

“It’s fine! Since it’s the management’s decision!”

 ……Was it really alright? But since I was being allowed to stay at the inn, I had no complaints .
 After completing the sign-in procedures, I was guided to my room by Lily . Since I was planning on staying for a while this time, I paid in full all at once .

“Ah, Ren . I have a break afterwards for dinner…… . would you perhaps like to eat together?”
“Sure, I’m fine with that . ”
“Thank you very much!”

 Yep, that was a great smile . Her reaction was as cute as ever .

 I entered my room and took a break . There was still some time until dinner, but I didn’t have any MP left to practice with Creation Magic, so I decided to take a nap .

 As expected, I was really tired today…… . .
