Interlude – Of The Two Of Them, Then
“…All right, the papers are in order. Thank you so much for always making these food deliveries!”
“Of course. This is our livelihood, after all!”
“Ahh, everyone loves the things from your farm, though. They’re delicious—that’s most important—but they’re cheap, too.”
“Ha-ha-ha! …Yeah, everyone’s been so kind to us since…since what happened last spring. It’s been a huge help… Sigh…”
“Why the long face? Something the matter? If it’s the price, I’m sorry to say I can’t negotiate, though.”
“Oh no, uh… No. It’s just, he’s away, and I’m…you know?”
“Heh-heh! He’ll be fine. Mr. Goblin Slayer is always prepared.”
“I wonder. I guess he’s not the type to just wander into trouble.”

“What other things?”
“Please. He’s in a far-off city with two women. And not a small city, either. There’ll be lots of opportunities…”

“Sure. Lots of plays and books like that.”
“Does it really happen?”
“All the time. Frankly, it leaves our female adventurers wanting for husbands.”
“…Okay. So, when he saves some girl, what do you think he looks like? To her?”
“Huh? Well…like the frontier champion, the slayer of goblins… I mean, speaking just to his looks…”
“……”
“Would you like some tea?”
“Yes, please.”
“There’s a festival coming up, isn’t there? The autumn harvest.”
“Can’t miss it.”
“Let’s do it.”
“Let’s do it.”
And so they were decided.
