Chapter 337
Legend Chapter 337
「Ahhh……mmm, fuaaaah . 」
Rei, who was sleeping in his bed, woke up with a big stretch .
Waking up and looking around, he was back in his small, 3 tatami sized room . Most of the room was taken up by the bed with barely enough space for one person .
In fact, a man nearly 2m in height and his female party member had visited a while ago . But, Rei remembered how suffocating it had felt at the lack of space as he looked out the window .
The sky outside the window was much darker and filled with rain clouds compared to the time they had fought the Lemrace the day before .
「……It’s a good thing we were able to fight the Lemrace yesterday . 」
Wearing his Dragon Robe and Shoes of Sleipnir, Rei spoke to himself as he took the Dagger of Flowing Water out from the Misty Ring .
For clear reasons, Rei, who was good at fire magic, wouldn’t have the greatest time fighting in the rain . Similarly, he wouldn’t have wanted to fight a huge monster like the Lemrace in the rain .
「That said, we really did party too hard last night . It looks like it’s almost noon already . 」
Hearing the noise from outside his room, he could roughly guess the time .
He had stayed up late drinking and singing at the guild bar and it was past midnight by the time he got back to the inn .
That said, Rei had already left early, there had still been many adventurers in the guild’s bar . Given that everyone was still fighting over the dishes cooked with the Lemrace meat that Rei had taken out from the Misty Ring, it was still noisy when Rei had left the bar .
「The guild……I guess I don’t really need to go there . 」
Even if he went to the guild now, the only people there would be the ones still dead drunk . Thinking of that, Rei considered how he was going to spend the next 10 days of his agreement with Roseus .
Since his goal was to make sure the Lemrace was really gone, he couldn’t go that far from Emoshion and could only kill time around the city……
「I guess I can collect the magic stones of monsters that live around here, so that’s not too bad? I’ll get ready for that first then . 」
He had killed several sea monsters up until now, but their bodies would always sink back down into the sea . Normally, corpses would have floated to the surface in the sea……
「In that case, I’ll need to be able to pull up the bodies of the monsters I’ve killed……a harpoon? It’s a port city, so I think I could get one made up if I went to a blacksmith . 」
Muttering to himself, Rei left his room and went to the dining area on the first floor .
There were a good number of people eating lunch and there was a bright atmosphere .
「Ah, Rei-san . Good morning……no, I can’t really say that . It’s a bit late, but……what can I do for you? Would you like some food? Because you dealt with the Lemrace, you don’t need to pay for today . 」
Rei gave a nod towards the innkeeper’s daughter, who had called out after seeing him come down the stairs and head towards the dining area .
(As expected of a port city . It seems news about the Lemrace has already spread . )
As Rei waited for his meal, he listened in the voices of the adventurers and sailors around him . Eventually, a seasoned and grilled fish sandwich, a seafood soup and a glass of cold water was placed at his table . In addition, maybe guessing Rei’s tastes from his previous meals, there was also a gratin like dish where a big shrimp was cut in half length-wise and baked with cheese and bread crumbs .
「That’s quite luxurious . 」
「Yes . It’s thanks for killing the Lemrace . There were quite a few adventurers because of the bounty, but they were all just trouble because they couldn’t leave the port . As a resident of this city, Rei-san, thank you for removing the problem . 」
Hearing what the innkeeper’s daughter was saying as she laughed lightly, he first reached out to the shrimp . Stabbing some of the meat with a fork, he brought it to his mouth along with the cheese . THe chewy texture of the shrimp and the rich taste of the cheese merged together into an enjoyable flavour in Rei’s mouth .
「……It’s delicious . 」
「Yes . Isn’t that right? It’s a bit expensive because we used half a big shrimp, but it’s a speciality of this restaurant . 」
「This taste definitely can be a speciality dish . ……Do you know what’s going on in the port?」
「Ah, yes . The first ship left the port early this morning . At first, the other ships just watched on, but after seeing it pass the area of the sea where the Lemrace usually appeared, they all left at the same time . I don’t think there’s many ships left at the port anymore? Even if there are any left, they’re mostly fishing boats . 」
「……Heh . 」
Rei responded as he smiled in admiration .
The inn keeper’s daughter was dazed for a moment, but immediately got back to work after coming back to reality .
Seeing her leave, Rei thought to himself as he drank a bowl of shellfish soup .
(The captain or owner of the first ship to leave the port either had a lot of guts or was in danger of not being able to to pay the port fees . ……Well, that’s none of my business .
Eating and enjoying a meal that was too extravagant to call a lunch, he first went to the stables to get Set before taking a look around the city .
「As expected, it’s definitely more lively than yesterday, though the number of adventurers has reduced significantly . 」
「Gurururu~」
Rei muttered as he walked through the city with Set . In his hands was a large amount of grilled fish skewers, overnight dried squid, sandwiches and tropical fruits . Set gave a cry as he threw red and blue spotted fruits into his beak .
Rei hadn’t even needed to pay a single copper coin for all that food . All of it had been given to him for free, courtesy of the various stall owners .
Rumors that the Lemrace had been killed had travelled through the city overnight and it seemed that there had been celebrations with drinking and singing at every bar in the city . At the same time, as Rei had expected, news of who had killed the Lemrace had spread through the adventurers, resulting in a massive amount of food he wasn’t able to carry .
Originally, when Rei had first come to Emoshion, he had bought a lot of seafood as ingredients for cooking . Because of that, like in Gilm, he was considered to be a good customer by all the food shops in the city and he had become quite well known .
Food and ingredients he couldn’t carry had already been stored into the Misty Ring and everything he was holding was only a portion of what he had been given .
「Oh, it’s here . 」
In the midst of all this, Rei arrived at store which he had heard had a good blacksmith .
It was a bit oof the main street and wasn’t easy to find if you tried looking for it normally . The owner was also a Dwarf, who was stubborn and didn’t get along with people that well . However, Rei had been told by a stall owner that the blacksmith still had work in Emoshion because his skill was just that good .
