Presence Interception

Runoir that was crying while being hugged by Lexa eventually stopped crying, and the dish that she had ordered was delivered to the table. Both Sou and Lexa’s dishes had become a bit cold, since Runoir’s dish was just delivered it was still freshly hot so she felt a bit apologetic for it, and then they started to eat each of their own dish.

The drink that the three of them ordered was water. In Asgard, when a person turned 15 years old, they was already considered as an adult. Since alcohol was self-responsibility, aside from baby, there was no age limitation for drank it. But, there was barely anyone below 15 years old who drank alcohol. The reason was, there was a lot of case when a youth that tried to drank alcohol, then went outside town while being excitedly drunk and got killed by monsters.

After the three of them discussed about it, it’s decided that the first time they would drank alcohol would be at the time when their party successfully completed their first quest.

Hmm, in this world it seems like I’ve already become an adult. Ah, Lexa too, right. At the time in j.a.pan, I thought become an adult is something that still a long way to go.

“Umm, Kanade-san, and Lexa-san, there’s something I want to ask to both of you… desu.”

““?””

When the three of them almost finished ate their own dish, Runoir was asking both Sou and Lexa with a serious expression.

“Are both of you staying in an inn… desu? Or perhaps, are you renting a house… desu?”

“Both of us, after finished eating will immediately search for an inn to stay. Oh right, how about your place of staying, Runo-chan? Since we’re going to rent an inn….”

“If I use my ability, I can sleep outside without being noticed by monster desu…. This far, because of the [Unfortunate], I can’t live at a place with a lot of people… desu.”

“Runo-chan was always slept outside alone!? But the is it? For being can’t be noticed by monster was indeed amazing right.”

It seems like Runoir was far stronger then what we thought. That’s an obvious result after lived alone since 11 years old.

But, , can I it by now?

Could be freely activated type. With this ability, as long as its user didn’t looked directly, their presence would be impossible to be noticed. But, if you made a sound, there was a possibility that your presence would be noticed. If you were  being noticed by the opponent while using this ability, as long as you could stay out of their visibility, that would make you to be still quite hard for being found.

Right… it’s an ability that very suited for a.s.sa.s.sination. As long as you could hide without made any sound, there was no way you would be noticed. The strongest at hide-and-seek! But I don’t know whether hide-and-seek was existed in this world or not. I’m not particularly care but let’s try to it.

『Hide-and-Seek』

I’m not quite understand what you’re saying desu.

… Eh!?

What’s it, what happened!?

Is it a bug? I could feel the will of sensei! The tone was quite different with every response thus far! It must be mad because I’m asking about something so trivial…. Let’s just apologize.

I’m really sorry for asking about something that so trivial.

No response. But if it’s giving me a response, that would be quite scary on its own way. For now, I think it’s better to apologize once more after secured an inn later.

But, now I’ve sure about something, if I want to the ability on someone’s status, it seems I have to hear the ability or t.i.tle’s name first from the person that hold it. If there’s an enemy that nonchalantly told me the name of their ability, I might be able to understand that ability better than its own holder. Well, that’s only apply when there’s such enemy appeared. Moreover, even if you understand it, there would be still some possibility that it can’t be avoided.

“If I’m using the , people in this restaurant would be unable to notice me… desu.”

“Hee~! With that ability you won’t need to worries about any irritating gazes right! It’s so useful, and it could be used to easily run away after ate without paying.”

Without I notice it, both Lexa and Runoir were currently talking about ability. Lexa… to think about something like that, that exactly the same thing with what I thought. If you don’t want the manager to come here, I think you should a bit more careful with your word. Even without being cautioned by me.

Also, I don’t know whether she was already opened up her heart to us or not but, I think Runoir’s tone are become a bit more smooth. At first she was looked like shy and hesitant, but gradually she was able to talk smoothly. Does the ‘desu’ word in each end of her sentences are some kind of habit? Well, as long as it’s cute, whatever though.

“I’ve never think about that way… desu.”

“I-It isn’t like I’m saying it seriously, you know? I’ve never ate and then run away without paying!”

Runoir… that idea was dangerous so forget it immediately! You should always live rightfully! Don’t imitate the behavior of that blonde twin tail!

For who did Lexa made that excuse? Said “I’ve never ate and then run away without paying!” loudly, since that’s something so obvious.

While chatting about something like that, we finished our meal, paid for the dish that we had ordered and then leave the restaurant. The total bill for the three of us were 40 coppers. At the bill, the salad the she thought to be quite cheap actually the most expensive one and made Lexa shocked. The price was written right….

In the inn, my next room at the right side was Lexa’s room, as for the left side was Runoir’s room. Actually, it would be better to be in the same room as Runoir but, sleeping in the same room after just met a day would be quite hard. Even if it’s a next room, since the distance isn’t that far, I think there should no problem with the misfortune.

And then, after promised to went to the guild tomorrow early in the morning, we returned to our respective room.

Sou returned to his room too, noticing that his body wasn’t felt comfortable, he decided to come to the receptionist to ask for some hot water and cloth. When he did that, it seems like Lexa and Runoir also think the same thing. They didn’t think that they would met again after just bid farewell by said “see you tomorrow” around five minutes ago. That make a really awkward situation.

And then, while the three of them were waiting for the hot water quietly, somehow Keimi-chan was laughing at the three of them, laughing to the point hugging her own stomach…. Umm~, keimi-chan? The hot water….

The hot water hadn’t brought out for quite a while.
