Smith， a Black Company in Another World 1078

Chapter 1078 – Ep.1076 Smith, a Black Company in Another World

“…”

“”…””

Awkward silence.

Bellanis, who woke up as if convulsing from his sleep at Ardel’s single word ‘wake up’, looked around with difficulty opening his half-asleep eyes, and as soon as his eyes met mine, which must have been wearing a very pitiful expression, he froze. .

And now.

Bellanis’ face pops! It was a ripe tomato that looked as if it would explode if you poked it.

“Well, good morning.”

“… Yes.”

Since I couldn’t stay silent forever, I had a hard time saying hello, and Bellanis answered with difficulty in a voice that was almost crawling.

‘I don’t think it’s something to be ashamed of…’

Originally, it was impossible to completely empathize with the feelings of this kind of work unless you were the person involved.

Even if it doesn’t seem like a big deal to us, those who are directly in that situation can feel it as something that has such a big impact that they can kick off the blanket and jump out of their sleep.

And from my perspective, Bellanis’s situation is exactly like that.

“How are you feeling?”

“It’s okay… Ugh!”

Bella Nice, who was trying to tell him that it was okay, suddenly grabbed his hips and grimaced.

“There is no need to overdo it. Ways… No, everyone was uncomfortable until they got used to it.”

“Well, no, that, that, it’s really okay, it’s okay…” … “

Even if we assume it’s because he’s stuttering because he’s embarrassed, it definitely looks like he’s in pain between his crotches, as his tail hangs long from time to time.

“I understand, so just stay there.”

I walked up to her Bella Nisga and hugged her.

“Boo, Boo, Boo, Boo?!”

“Fizzle. It’s not even the first time I’ve been hugged. Of course, it doesn’t matter to me because the reaction is cute.”

“…”

Bella Nice, who was very embarrassed, when I spoke as if I was deliberately teasing her, her red face turned pink, and she pursed her lips.

“It entices females like breathing.”

Ardel’s sharp voice coming from behind.

However, since it was an expected reaction, I smiled slightly and approached Ardel while holding Bellanis in my arms.

“That’s why I was able to take you as my wife.”

“… “This damn mouth.”

“Ouch.”

Ardel tapped my lips as if playing with me! He tapped his index finger and sighed.

“I think we’re ready, so let’s move on.”

“Okay then. Maybe it’s because I’m using up a bit of energy, but I think I’ll have to cram in some decent food around lunchtime. Laufen? Pack your bags.”

“Yes. “Master.”

Lau Fen, who had returned from an animal to a human, lifted his butt off the grass and stood up. And he tactfully packed all the bags containing his companions by himself.

‘If the tail was real, I think I would have heard two more.’

I can’t help but feel sad about the cut-off tail every time I see it.

“Giena.”

“Yes.”

As she was waiting, she came over and held me and Bella Nice, who was in my arms, in her arms.

“Let’s go.”

So we followed the traces of the bridge Ardella.

**

“Pass!”

It was a city that they had to pass through in order to head to the capital, but just because they were gold-plated adventurers and demons, Laufen and Rita passed through the outer castle gate without any special inspection and were able to enter the city very easily.

Ardel and Gienna, of course. And since Bellanis and I were hiding with the power of the token, we didn’t even notice our existence, let alone being inspected, so we entered the city first.

“Let’s go to a decent inn instead of the Bambino.”

Since I could no longer trust Bambino infinitely based on Nyaho’s name alone, I decided to avoid him if possible.

“Come on~ It’s fresh! Come try one of the freshly grilled skewers!!”

“How about a glass of hot rum to beat the cold?”

Even though the temple burned down and demons from the Demon Continent invaded, the city was very lively, as if it were all a story of a distant neighboring country.

“Welcome~”

Neither Ardel nor Belanis nor anyone else knew much about the city of Belef, so we entered the inn, which was moderately crowded.

“Three rooms.”

“It looks like there are more people in the group.”

“Okay. “I plan to stay for about 10 days.”

“Please give me one gold coin, including three meals.”

Rita took out a gold coin from her pocket and handed it to the waiter.

“You can use them in order from the very end of the 3rd floor.”

The waiter handed Rita a bundle of iron keys, and we followed the waiter’s instructions and went up the stairs to find her room.

Tueeet──!!

With a sound that was difficult to get used to no matter how many times I heard it, the swallowed group members were vomited outside one by one.

“Heo, heo, heo!!”

“I’m alive… ?”

“Ah, thank you, God!!”

And while they were asleep, the companions who had been swallowed by the Mimic were each groping their bodies with blue faces or looking for the god they said they would no longer find.

“Now, everyone, take a slow, deep breath.”

I thought I knew why they were doing that, so I gave them enough time to calm down.

“Haaa…”

“It looked ugly.”

The knights were finally able to stand up, and Anise’s previously blue face began to slowly turn red.

“Did you wake up in the middle of the night?”

“That’s right. I definitely woke up, but I couldn’t move or feel anything, and it was all dark…”

“Oh, I know what it feels like.”

Since I had experienced it myself, I dismissed Anis’ explanation.

“Giena? Take Meleona and Bay out quietly. And when you two go out into the streets, first buy some clothes to change into and then come back.”

“We also have yours…” ?”

“No, not mine. “What you will wear and these three people.”

“Ah, I understand.”

“Giena.”

I put Meleona and Bay in hiding and quietly left her room.

“Rita, please come down and give me more money and ask for a higher meal.”

[All right.

That’s how Rita left.

The only ones left in the room were Bellanis and Ardel. And Laufen and I.

“Everyone sits comfortably. Laufen comes here.”

“Hehe!”

Laufen knew exactly when to turn back into a human and an animal, so when I sat on the bed and patted his thighs, he quickly crawled onto all fours and rested his chin on my thighs, shaking his butt.

Of course, Ardel’s gaze watching it was still not kind.

It was the kind of look in his eyes that whenever an opportunity arose, he would handle it without even asking.

“Laufen.”

“… ?”

I asked, gently scratching her chin.

“There must be an adventurer’s guild here too, so there must be some who know you, right?”

“… “I guess gold plaques aren’t that common.”

“What are the chances that the guards recognized him?”

“North… So, if it was the Philoren Kingdom, you might have recognized it. But I don’t think anyone in the Vittorio Kingdom will recognize you unless you’re an adventurer.”

“There’s no harm in being careful.”

Since she changed her clothes and even had a tail that wasn’t there before, it would be difficult for even adventurers to recognize her at once unless they had met her in person.

However, the story may change if he acts openly, so it would be better to exclude Laufen from Ardella’s interrogation.

“You won’t even recognize Meleona and Bay, right?”

“I don’t know Meleona. But that Bay guy seems…”

“Well, she stands out a little bit.”

She stands out just because she’s wearing an eye patch, and in Bay’s case, her speaking style was quite unusual until she was trained by me.

“But her area of ​​activity is in the same north as mine, so I don’t think anyone in the Kingdom of Vittorio will recognize her. Above all, in the case of those two, even if someone recognizes them, they will not know clearly where they belong and are active, so I don’t think you need to worry too much.”

“… Good.”

“Grung~”

When I looked away and scratched his chin again, Lau Fen quickly went back to being an animal and waving his butt.

“Lord Belanis?”

“Yes. “Father.”

Even though I told her to sit down and rest, she stood firm and waited for me with her upright posture.

“Do you think anyone in the city will recognize your face?”

“I’m sure there won’t be any. “We always wear helmets outside the fortress, so it would be virtually impossible to recognize our faces unless we were involved.”

“Hmm.”

In that case, the people who can be used to investigate Ardella are Bellanis and Meleona. And six in total including Rita.

‘The city looked quite big.’

It was clear that it seemed a bit difficult to expect to get the information you wanted by wandering around for a day.

‘If possible, I would like you to still remain in this city…’

Perhaps it would be too greedy to hope that far.

However, since it is not an entirely unlikely assumption, I plan to proceed with the search of the city with Ardel, who has hidden himself.

In the case of Giena, I plan to have her watch the back of the exploration party in preparation for any unexpected situation.

“Saint, what should I do?”

I scratched my cheek in response to Anise’s question, whose color returned.

“I think I’ll take it easy for the time being.”

“… “I’m sorry for being useless.”

“Because the situation is unavoidable.”

Since she wasn’t brought here to be used in a place like this in the first place, I didn’t pay much attention to it. Although it didn’t seem like it was me.

“Then, let’s start by eating a proper meal and moving.”
