... live free!

Yurika gave me permission. I asked them to sit down when I got to the room where I was eating. Well, should we just do this and cut the story out? Yurika brings me a warm drink when I think about it, so I gratefully accept it. When Serra and the others receive it as well as I do, Yurica approaches me with a small voice (because you can take your time, okay?) and left the room.

"In the meantime, do you want a drink before it gets cold?

"Yeah."

"Yes."

That's how Mr. Yurika slowly started drinking the beverage he brought.

When I finished my drink, Serra talked to me.

"Where did Lena come from to this village?

"I'm from a place called Linfred."

"... it's the closest city to this village, right?

"Maybe? Because I don't know much about the villages and towns around the city either"

"It is. Then what about this village?

"Yeah."

Serra was snorting like she was convinced when I snorted like that, but she stopped moving.

"Then why did Lena come to this village?

Uh-huh, I followed Elena's escort at the request of the guild at once, but I didn't think I should tell her that as it was. In the meantime, why don't we just talk about it so you don't lie? And so I explained to Serra.

"Does that feel like you're here with me because you heard Mr. Elena was going home? Besides, it seemed like a long way to the village, and it doesn't necessarily mean you won't be attacked by demons or anything."

"If it's a demon or something, then Lena's in danger too..."

"That's okay. Because I've been hunting for a long time."

"That's right... What if I may, but can you tell me about the city that Lena lives in? I've never been out of this village before, and I don't know what the city's like."

"Well, if that's about it..."

"Really!?

Then Serra asked back happily.

"But I don't know the details, either, do I? Because it hasn't been much since I started living in the city."

"Really? So that's where you lived before?

"I'm not sure where it lived either. Only in the mountains for now..."

"Oh, yeah. Then can you tell me as much as you know about the city you're living in right now?

"Fine."

That's what I said and told Serra what kind of city Linfred was. Well, there are a lot of people even though I said I talked to them, or what kind of stores they have and what kind of things they keep. And I just told you that story, but Serra and the others are listening with interest, so maybe it was a good idea? I thought.
