The pub, Villa De Edge .

It’s a nice place where you can try out different kinds of beer everyday, and the different taste which they provide .

After a long day of work, I came here with Alice and Rebecca .

Since black beer was recommended to us for the day, we started off with that first .

[I heard about it . ] (Rebecca)

[About?] (Ryouta)

When I asked her what was it, she stared me dead in the eyes .

Hey, if you asked me in that manner, obviously I would ask what is it about .

[Are you saying that it’s something not worth remembering?] (Rebecca)

[That’s not it, I really have no idea which case you’re talking about . ] (Ryouta)

[… . . It’s about the Bodore . ] (Rebecca)

[Aah, that one . ] (Ryouta)

I clapped my hands together with one of my hands in a form of a fist .

[You’re talking about the guy who published a method in farming in the dungeon?] (Ryouta)

[Yeah, that’s right . For that kind of guy to do such a thing …seriously . ] (Rebecca)

[I was irritated as well . ] (Ryouta)

[Don’t be fooled by such a cliche looking criminal!] (Rebecca)

Rebecca sharpened her lips .

Bang! She slammed her gla.s.s on a coaster that was placed on top of the table .

Can’t believe she was angry about it .

[Even if you say that… . ] (Ryouta)

I scratched my cheeks with my fingers .

Even if this case were not to have happened, I would still publish—–publicized the method to everybody regardless .

In a sense, it’s something that we’re used to as we can just read it on Wikipedia or some other websites .

That’s how we deal with cheaters, by publicizing it… .

However, it does not seem like Rebecca liked that very much .

[Yeah, yeah I get it . I just want to let off some steam, that’s all . ] (Rebecca)

[I’m glad that you understand . ] (Ryouta)

[But why would you waste your time!] (Rebecca)

[I-I see . ] (Ryouta)

Rebecca had a completely upset look .

Is she drunk?

[I don’t think it’s about that . ] (Alice)

Alice who has been playing with her fellow monster friends finally spoke up .

[What did you say?] (Rebecca)

[It’s in Ryouta’s nature to do it . When troubled——that’s not it, he can’t leave that person alone if there are troubled . ] (Alice)

[I know that already!] (Rebecca)

[Yeap~] (Alice)

Alice said with a sweet and lovely smile, as if enjoying it .

In response, Rebecca’s lips became even sharper .

[It seems that you have a lot of time to spare as well!] (Rebecca)

[Me?] (Alice)

[Yes! To bring the spirit and walk around… . . Eei!] (Rebecca)

Rebecca then s.n.a.t.c.hed away the peanut that Alice had her hand, then took away Mermera as well(!) .

[Here, take this! And that! I’ll make you into that!] (Rebecca)

Rebecca then rolled Mermera around, like a child playing with clay and mus.h.i.+ng it and rolling it around to make it like a dumpling .

The flames of Mermera became bright and dark, and when Rebecca had finally released it, it’s eyes were [@@] .

How should I put it… . she’s clearly drunk .

Well at this stage she still acts cute even while drunk, so I guess it’s fine for now .

With Mermera’s incident, Alice and Rebecca started chatting about .

They left me and started talking amongst themselves .

Looking at the two of them, they resemble each other .

Both of them were born from inside the dungeon .

Though their characters are total opposite, but when you look at their background, it’s similar .

Suddenly, Boney-chan lost her balance .

The doll sized monster who stood up and wanted to drink the cup that Alice placed on the table made her lose her balance on her foot and fell .

Rebecca quickly reached out and helped cus.h.i.+oned her fall .

[That’s dangerous, if she wants to drink, give her a smaller cup then . ] (Rebecca)

Boney-chan then bobbed her head up and down as if saying [thank you] .

[You’re kind . ] (Ryouta)

[Monsters are special . ] (Rebecca)

[Is it because you’re born in a dungeon?] (Ryouta)

[Yeah, that’s right . ] (Rebecca)

Rebecca admits honestly .

After being saved, all of Alice’s monster friends went closer to her .

Seems like they both get along well with monsters as well .

[… . . It’s noisy outside . ] (Rebecca)

Rebecca who was feeding Gau-gau with potato fries said .

At the entrance—-was an adventurer who looked like he has a spirit name attached .

[Now that you mention, it is noisy . Ah, did something happen?] (Ryouta)

I then caught one of the waitress’ attention and asked .

[Seems like a rogue monster is running loose . ] 

[Is that so?] (Ryouta)

[Yeah, but it’s all alright, since everyone else is getting rid of it . Only reason why it’s rowdy is cause it keeps appearing again and again . ] 

[… . . I see . ] (Ryouta)

I was intrigued by the part where it keeps appearing .

It’s rare for rogue monsters to appear in the streets, what’s more a lot of them at once .

Maybe something else happened?

I stood up and take a look outside .

The city of s.h.i.+kuro is noisier than usual, as you can hear the sounds of battles here and there .

[So have you heard, apparently this happened because of Ryouta . ]

[Ryouta, you mean that

Ryouta?]

[Yeah, seems like that guy was spreading monsters here and there . ]

I heard pa.s.serby gossiping about the situation .

I did it? But that’s—–

[Impossible . ] [Impossible . ] 

The two of them spoke in unison .

When they heard what they had said, they laughed together .

They suddenly appeared right behind me .

[Rebecca . ] (Ryouta)

[What ridiculous things are they spouting, it’s impossible for you to do that . ] (Rebecca)

[Yeah yeah, Ryouta will never do that . I’m sure everyone in the city knows of it . ] (Alice)

Alice agreed with her .

Well, that’s obvious .

They keyword to this city is more to [if you do something unreasonable, Ryouta will find you] .

So it should be few who believe in such gossip spreading around the city .

However, I can’t leave it alone .

As rogue monsters are actually out there, damage may occur to unforeseen people .

[I’m sorry you two, I’ll head out for a moment . ] (Ryouta)

[Alright! Good luck out there!] (Alice)

[Do whatever you want . ] (Rebecca)

After being sent off by the two of them, I went out of the store .

After Ryouta left, only Alice and Rebecca remained .

Alice was smiling, but Rebecca seemed to be bored .

The two of them were standing side by side while looking at the back view of Ryouta .

[Seriously, what kind of man is he . ] (Rebecca)

[Eeh, even though you know it well . ] (Alice)

Alice placed her hands on her mouth and smirked .

[Saying something like doing things twice . But I can see that you observe him well . ] (Alice)

[[—-I don’t know!] (Rebecca)

Rebecca who got figured out stepped on the floor and went back into the store .

[Ahaha, so not honest~] (Alice)

With a sense of familiarity, Alice followed Rebecca and returned to the store .
