Chapter 39 The Inn Manager looks like a Man

Start from the beginning
                                    

First thing served was a meat and vegetable dish wrapped in something. As the three of us bit into it, meat juices started to overflow from the place where it was cut, and a delicious scent was released.

「What a surprise... The skin like wrap used here was made from internal organs」

「I see, it is really delicious. It's not only the meat juices, the taste of vegetables is also blending well. The skin also tastes great with its chewy texture... It's a great combination... The taste makes you want to demand a drink」

「That Nee-san is using meat and internal organs of a demon called Axeboa. There are plenty of them in the forest close to the capital. When hunting them, just baking it makes its meat juices drip out」

「Heeh, let's hunt them later by all means」

La Veil was commenting on it like a professional gastronomist for some reason. Nee-san was also joining the commentary every now and then. But well, even as they are doing that, neither hands nor mouth stopped moving. The volume served is also great. It seems that I and Arena would be satisfied with this amount.

「Pafu~... No more!!」

「I am also full already~」

「I'm still not satisfied yet. Nee-san more please!! Bring me three more in addition! And also liquor to go with it!!」

Nee-san replied 「Aiyo!!」 then carried more extra servings. After drinking her liquor, La Veil continued chomping down the food. I and Arena were also merrily drinking fruit juice that we requested while taking a break.

When I look around, I could hear drunken people talking about their best bets on the martial arts tournament. Betting will probably begin soon so everyone is quite serious about it.

「Aidle~~」

「Yes, what is it Arena?」

「Is ok if I bet on Aidle~?」

... Do you mean you want to bet on a fighting party? Eh, don't tell me Arena, you. It's not that you wanted money for spending but for this? Well, I don't think it's that bad but. If you think about it... she would look like those people dreaming while watching horse races and losing all their property.

「Can I bet only on Aidle?」

「That's fine, but you see, won't you also bet on La Veil because she will be fighting too, look, she's watching us with such a scary expression while drinking」

「No!! Aidle is the strongest~mon!!」[ED: need insulin]

「Kuuu... Certainly, I can't compared to master, but I also want Arena to depend on me more」

「Gahahahahaha, seriously ladies! You are sure to lose 」

A man from the table next to ours said that and started laughing. It was a giant drinking from a big mug.

「To lose, what do you mean by that?」

When I got up and moved next to the man, the man stood up and looked down on me. It seems like this person is literally looking down at me as is quite confident about it. His appearance when he stood up was much bigger than I thought. It would probably be around twice my height? His body was also wide, about three times wider than mine. His arms alone were much thicker than my torso.

「Something like that is already decided. If a weak looking person like you appears on the battle stage, everyone would just hesitate to attack and the tournament would only turn into a tournament-like event」

「That's right, explain it to them baldy!! It seems like they would break if you just touched them! If they would want to be prostitutes they will probably earn a lot. Just stop it, trying to enter that battle!! If a beautiful face like yours becomes scarred you won't even be worth a copper coin you know~~? 」
