Episode 109 Confession (1)
What kind of accuracy is there!
Besides, it didn’t even look right flying.
Since the centers of gravity are all different, there’s no way you can match them properly.
The owner shook his head and thought.
‘You’re lucky. But there is no second one.’
But…
peouk-
I pushed the knife stuck in the middle, and another dagger was neatly inserted.
“two.”
“Nice Ray.”
After calling him a few times, Iriel, who had adapted quite a bit, called him by name and praised him.
Do compliments make whales dance?
As a human, Ray was three times more excited.
In response, Ray showed a miracle of throwing three daggers at once.
Somehow, the daggers that flew at different speeds were stuck in the center.
Grasping- Grasping-
His skill, which was even exquisite, was buried in the target to the hilt.
At that, the owner looked at the target and Ray alternately with an expression of disbelief.
Are you saying that there was even a secret magic trick? No one can throw so well!
Besides, five in the middle! Isn’t this the level of a properly trained Assassin!
Ray held out his hand to the absent-minded owner.
“Give me the goods.”
You don’t expect much, but shouldn’t you get a prize if it works?
Then the owner said with a sad expression.
“…Wait a minute.”
Then, enter the back corner of the store. It was so deep that I felt like I was running away for a moment.
The owner, who came back with something in his hand, handed it to Ray.
The one I received was a necklace.
It is studded with yellow jewels and decorated with antique patterns on the outside.
On top of that, the faint presence of mana seemed like an artifact even at first glance.
Ray looked at the necklace and asked.
“necklace?”
“It is a magic artifact. It’s not very expensive, but it’s not cheap either.”
“Ohh. What kind of magic is it?”
“They say the shield is on. It seems like a one-time thing, but that’s it. In case of danger, it will be used automatically even without a starter word.”
“It’s disposable…”
Ray said with a slightly disappointed expression.
A one-time shield? To use a shield, his magic by shouting the starting word would be much more effective.
Sounds like you don’t need it. I don’t know what kind of artifacts he needs in the first place.
At that, Ray approached Iriel, who was standing still.
Then, Iriel’s hair was lifted slightly.
Her throat burned red at Ray’s sudden action.
“Le Ray.”
“You write this.”
Saying so, Ray put the necklace around Iriel’s neck.
When I put on the necklace in front of me, it naturally became a slightly hugging shape.
The owner looked at the situation and said.
“I’m a lover, but what?”
“…”
“….”
I can’t think of anything to refute. That would be the case, because the current situation was a situation where anyone would think that they were lovers.
Iriel spoke quietly.
“Is it okay if I take it?”
“It’s a thank you for bringing me outside today. Besides, you know I don’t need this.”
“…Then I’ll be grateful. Whoop whoop.”
Seeing her smiling, covering the corners of her mouth, Ray also smiled.
The two of them left the store, ignoring the owner who was staring at them strangely.
The lovers who had been watching Ray throw the dagger around him began to come one by one.
It seems that his secret martial art performance unexpectedly stimulated them.
Think about it. What a fantastic picture it would be if you put your lover next to you, fly a raincoat and hang a necklace!
Some of the young men were set on fire.
Ray looked at him and spat out a word as if tossing it.
“Business will be fine.”

While wandering around the market looking for food, the two of them found an inn when the sky got dark.
I had no intention of staying at a particularly luxurious inn.
Money was enough, but I didn’t want to.
They both wanted to enjoy things that others could normally enjoy.
So the inn I found was an extremely ordinary inn.
Judging from the fact that there is a pub on the first floor, it seems that meals are provided only to guests staying at the inn.
Of course, there were also people who just came for a drink.
I saw the travelers and mercenaries, each with their own characteristics, drinking alcohol as soon as I entered.
“There are quite a few people.”
“Iknow, right. I need to be more careful here.”
The two looked at each other and nodded.
They went to the reception desk with the hood of their robe pressed down deeply.
“welcome. Are you two?”
“yes. Can I rent two rooms?”
At Ray’s words, the clerk put on a slightly troubled expression.
“Um… what? There is only one room left now.”
Following the gaze of the clerk looking around, Ray also looked around.
Many people were drinking there.
Certainly, given the number of people who filled the tavern, there was not enough room.
In response, Ray asked Iriel.
“What are you going to do? Shall we go somewhere else?”
“Anyway, at this time, there will be very few inns with rooms left. Let’s just do it here.”
The clerk who listened to Iriel answered instead.
“It is a silver coin for a night’s lodging. Meals are only served in the morning and evening, so you have to come to the first floor on time.”
At the clerk’s words, Ray quietly put down a silver coin.
“Are you staying overnight? Here is your room key.”
The two of them took the key given by the clerk and went upstairs.
On the way up the stairs, Iriel showed a sinister smile.
“Do you two share a room?”
“I can’t help it because there’s no room.”
“That’s right…”
Iriel didn’t say anything else when something not funny came back.
Kiik-
Ray opened the door.
Iriel looked around inside and said.
“It’s a nice room.”
“Although it’s a little small, I mean.”
Besides, of course, even the bed is one.
‘It would be nice to have a blanket…’
Even pretending, there is not even a blanket, let alone a blanket.
Probably because most of these small rooms only accept one person.
Iriel said while taking off her robe.
“Then I’ll wash up first.”
“okay. But maybe the water is cold?”
Time is also time, but there was no magic that would make warm water pour out in a place like this, an ordinary inn.
You shouldn’t think of the luxurious Selonia mansion or castle.
Iriel hesitated as if he hadn’t thought of it.
Ray smiled at the sight and cast a spell on the contained water.
“Heat.”
Then, steam comes out of the cold water little by little and it starts to warm up slowly.
Iriel said with a wink in one eye.
“also! It is reassuring every time like this.”
I said and went straight to wash up.
His excellent hearing told him everything that was going on inside in detail.
The sound of Iriel taking off her half-plate armor or taking off her clothes.
“…”
She hears a chuckle from inside.
“Are you stealing and listening?”
Ray reacted strongly to it.
Stealing! There is something wrong with words!
I swear he didn’t try to eavesdrop on purpose.
How can I have such good hearing!
However, Iriel didn’t seem to think much of it.
“It doesn’t matter. It’s a little too much for me to ask you to cover your ears until I’m done washing.”
I heard the sound of water overflowing as if I had entered a bathtub
.
Ray shook his head at him and took off his robe.
No matter how thin it was, wearing a robe all day felt stuffy.
When he took off his long robe, his white hair was revealed.
If someone else had seen it, they might have mistaken it for an elf in the inn.
I took off my tight boots and took off the leather clothes I was wearing on purpose.
It was then that I felt like I could breathe.
“Haa… I’m going to live now.”
I even felt a small sense of liberation when I took off stuff that was stuffy.
Iriel spoke while washing.
“Ah~ I had fun today. Where shall we look again tomorrow?”
Ray answered him.
“Wouldn’t it be nice anywhere?”
“Yeah~? Does that mean that anywhere is fine as long as you are with me?”
“…the nuances are strange…but they are not all wrong.”
“…yes?”
Iriel’s flustered expression seems to be visible here as well.
After Ray tidied up his clothes, he cast a spell on himself.
“Clean.”
In an instant, the fatigue disappeared and the whole body became clean.
Her skin, which had been stuffy because she had been wearing the robe all the time, became as soft as if she had just finished taking a shower.
“As expected, magic is convenient.”
Iriel came out, brushing off her slightly wet hair.
After all, is it one of the best looks in the Holy Land? Her appearance, which had just come out of the wash, looked even bewitching.
Iriel straightened her hair and looked at the bed.
“There is only one bed.”
“I can’t help it. Because it’s a single room in the first place. If you spread a robe on the floor, it will serve as a blanket.”
I spread the robe I had been wearing while talking on the floor, and although it was crude, I felt like I could sleep.
After all, the cold couldn’t do any harm to Ray.
Iriel shook his head.
“However, you can’t make a saint sleep on the floor. The two of you should sleep in the bed together.”
“…if you’re okay, I don’t mind…”
For some reason, he seems to be in a good mood.
“Tomorrow we’ll start looking around in the morning, so let’s go to bed early!”
“…okay.”
The two got on the same bed.
The bed wasn’t too big, and there was only one blanket to cover them, so they couldn’t help but be close to each other.
“….”
“….”
There was a slightly awkward air that no one could say.
The awkwardness was even greater because I had never been so close to someone.
Besides, a very fragrant scent was flowing from Iriel.
On the narrow bed, the shoulders and thighs touch subtly.
A distance where you can hear your exhalation loudly and even hear your heart beating.
I couldn’t help but become conscious even if I wasn’t thinking normally.
Iriel, who had dyed her ears red in the dark room, turned her head.
The saintess who was always perfect was also a woman. How can you not be ashamed of this situation?
I could hear her heart pounding.
Perhaps Iriel could clearly hear Ray’s beating heart.
At that time, Iriel turned her head and spoke to me.
“Ray…”
“… Huh?”
Her voice trembled, as if desperately enduring shame.
