“You, seriously just who are you?”
When he muttered it the Hornbear looked at Gaviik. Captain Gaviik then gave him a puzzled look. Vice-captain Mandel who was right next to him and strategist Ref both took a step back. Kou thought for a little, and then the spiritualist’s amulet the gem appeared on the Hornbear’s forehead.
“Wha! Y, You’re…….”
Amazing everyone, with a flutter a memo paper appeared on the Hornbear’s chest with a self introduction written on it.
“Kou…? So, you’re called Kou? The one that possessed that Demon dog.”
“Gu~au” [That’s right.]
Answering their question with a yes, the Hornbear Kou gave them Karen’s portable bow and then retuned toward the lake. Since it’s the entrance of the forest road it stands out.
Turning around once, Kou waved his hand saying, see you again, and then his figure disappeared into the forest. Seeing off the figure of the Hornbear Kou amongst the trees, with an awkward feeling, Gaviik and the others return to town for now.
“No way, to think it would be the Demon dog from that time…”
“It’s so sudden I can’t believe it, or so I would like to say… but this paper, furthermore—-”
“……. There’s no mistake that that green stone was the spiritualist’s amulet. It’s probably the same one that we saw in Barass.”
Lev, who had been in charge of the freezing trap, can say for certain that the wavelength she felt was the same from one from that time. Gaviik grandly sighed after he remembered how a female swordsman looked at him with eyes of condemnation at that time.
“Ha~aaaaaaaaaa, how did it get to this.”
“If that existence, ‘Kou’ is an existence as the rumors in the town said he is, then we might have earned ourselves some awkward infamy.”
It would be better to lengthen their stay in the town of Barass the next time they stay there, strategist Ref also advised him that it would be better to have some good connections with the village chief and the adventurers association. Until they had reached the inn they stayed at before, the top members of Gaviik’s party were all silent with a weird air around them.
“What could’ve happened to captain and the others? Did something happen to Karen-san?”
“He was kind of making an awkward and difficult face wasn’t he?”
“Yeah…”
Dis and the others are young members or apprentices, the ones that took care of everything, the underlings. While sitting with each other in the corner of the tavern they were looking at each other with puzzled looks.
