Chapter 56 – The Ruffian's Gathering Place

The next morning, I woke up to the birds' chirping, something I've missed for a while now. Yesterday I was invited by proprietress to a dinner as a wele to the inn, and I guess I drank a little too much alcohol.

That cost me some extra gold, so my wallet was pletely bust now. Even today, I won't be able to continue staying here if I don't make any money from killing monsters.

I was told by the proprietress during the dinner that her husband had died, so she's raising her three children on her own. The eldest son had bee independent, and now lives as a mercenary at the fortress city.

There were also two daughters. One was 14 and the other was 8 years old. They also had dinner at same table as me last night. But they acted distant to me and mostly remained quiet, they didn't seem excited when I tried to talk to them too.

Only the proprietress and I did the talking at the table last night.

While changing my clothes, I heard the sound of knocking on my door. Judging from the timid sound, it couldn't be the lady proprietress. Most likely one of her daughters.

After replying with my skull mask on, the door opened.

[Good morning, Fate-san]

[Morning]

[The breakfast is ready. It's at the dining room.]

[Un, got it.]

The eldest daughter told me that much before closing the door to escape. Somehow….she was blushing, I wonder why?

Ah!? Oops. I was in the middle of changing clothes, so my upper body had been left naked.

It's considered embarrassing to show such appearance to a young lady. Later, I will apologize.

Even so, my clothes are getting worn out. From the royal capital to this place, I've been through a lot of battles after all.

Especially from the fight with the machine angel Haniel. My clothes had burnt holes nearly everywhere thanks to that fight.

[I have to replace these already.]

As I took the black sword Greed that was leaning on the wall, a gleeful laughter rang inside my head.

『That was undignified for one who wields me. Earn your keep quickly. Also don't fcomet to buy a new sheath that fits more better for me.』

[That's your real intention, right?]

『Why of course it was.』

Greed never changes. Well, for starters.

Greed's sheath had also been damaged in battle. It's still usable, but it could use a replacement. I changed my mind, both of us could use a new look.

If anything, I don't have any money at the moment. The pricing would be five times more expensive than that of the royal capital.

Fu~….lodging fee, clothes, and sheath….this will be the first time that I'll have to hunt monsters real hard to make a living.

[It should be alright for now. Let's go, Greed.]

『Yes』

I brought Greed along and left the room. The second daughter then looked at me strangely.

[Onii-chan….why are you talking to a sword……..?]

She then took a little distance from me. Apparently, she saw me as a strange person for talking to my sword.

That's a misunderstanding! I tried to approach the girl to explain, but she instead kept distancing herself until she fell on her bottom. Then she started to cry.

[Mamaaaaaaaaaaa!]

She ran away to seek help from the proprietress.

I'll be in their care for the time being…..but I've been disliked from day one….

Greed laughed so hard through the 《mind reading》.
