TEASER CHAPTER 6 PART 10
After
escorting Eldor and the others to the city, Nozomu, Irisdina, and Feo finished
reporting their request and left the guild gate.
The
sun had already sunk below the horizon, and the twilight sky, dyed in red,
covered the sky of Arcazam.
"Hmm!
This is the end of the request. What are we going to do now?"
"Eh?"
"I'm
hungry, and we've been rewarded for completing the request. Why don't we go to
Ushitotei and have some fun?
"Gambling
again? You're going to be poor again, you know."
Feo's
sudden words made Nozomu reflexively ask back.
"It's
okay. All I have to do is win!"
"I
can't help but feel uneasy when you say that..."
Apparently,
he had completely forgotten the fact that he had run out of money due to the
recent commotion.
He
still held fun-first as his principle, so Nozomu couldn't help but wonder what
kind of trouble this fox would cause in the future.
“…………”
Nozomu
was silent. The old man next to him was also giving off a similar vibe.
What
in the world is this old man imagining? I have an unpleasant premonition from
the way he looks. His cheeks dyed red like a maiden's and his gaze drifted in
the air.
"What
are you talking about? Life is a party! No matter whether you win or lose, the
person who enjoyed it will be the winner in the end!"
"That's
right, kid! To win the hearts of beautiful maidens, there will always be
hardships! Many challengers have been defeated in the face of such
difficulties! To face these challenges, we must continue to hold our wish in
our hearts!"
Sure
enough, Zonne, inspired by Feo, was in an aggressive mode.
The
two of them declare it while raising their fists high to the sky. One of them,
bathed in the moonlight, has his eyes turned into gold, while the other exhaled
pervy breath wildly from his nose.
"So,
what's that wish you have in your heart?"
"Of
course! To be with a beautiful girl! Have a date! Skinship! Cuddling, just the
two of us!"
Their
wish seemed to be dyed with money and lust. Nozomu could only sigh.
Turning
away from the two who were creating their own world in front of him and
attracting the attention of the public, Nozomu slowly looked up at the sky.
“…………”
*Phew...*
Nozomu
let out a big breath.
Looking
at such Nozomu, Irisdina felt something stuck at the depth of her heart.
Since
returning to Arcazam, Nozomu had been making numerous gestures as if he was
thinking about something.
Wondering
what was wrong with him... Irisdina spoke to Nozomu.
"Nozomu,
what's wrong? You've been acting strange since you came back to the
city..."
"W-well.
I guess I got caught..."
Nozomu
scratched his head with a wry smile on his face. He turned back to the path he
had come from and slowly opened his mouth.
"I
was thinking about Eldor and the others."
"Eldor
and the others?"
When
Nozomu returned to Arcazam, he sent them back to the dormitory first,
considering the mental and physical strain they were under.
They
had to report to the guild about their request, so he could tell the guild
about them at the same time.
Nozomu
was staring at the road he had come from. In his eyes, it was as if he could
see Eldor and the others.
A
wry smile appeared on Nozomu's face.
