Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

Page 46

Probably too lazy to continue chatting with a drunk like me, he looked over my shoulder and waved.

"Yo, Zoldat!"

"Well?"

I turned my head and looked behind me.

A yellow-haired man in a green jacket walked towards this side in a nonchalant manner.

He glanced at Rudeus and me, his face full of confusion.

"What the hell are you two doing?"

"It's Zoldat, good morning...would you like to have a drink together?"

I raised my glass and offered a drunken invitation.

Zoldat is a well-known adventurer in the area.

Over the past few months, I've occasionally interacted with him due to commissions. Just like the description in the original work, although he may seem unpleasant at first glance, he is actually just doing what he wants and is essentially a good guy.

"No normal person would get drunk so early in the morning... So, Rudeus, how are you thinking about what I asked you a while ago?"

Zoldat ignored my invitation.

"Well……"

Rudeus gave me an apologetic smile and then used detoxification magic to break free from his drunken state.

I also asked Rudeus to use antidote magic on me.

"Not planning on drinking anymore? Then Ron, do you want to consider it too?"

Zoldat's eyes turned to me.

"What to consider?"

"We [Stepped Leader] have been in this town for quite some time now. We plan to travel to other places and possibly visit all three major magical kingdoms. With your abilities, you should be able to keep up. Would you like to come along?"

"This..."

Although Zoldat said this in a nonchalant tone.

But this is a formal invitation.

I shook my head and didn't answer immediately.

Leave?

In fact, I had already planned to leave before this, but because of Sarah's matter, I put the idea aside for the time being.

But now Sarah has made her attitude clear.

It seems like I have no reason to stay here anymore.

But even so, I still couldn't make up my mind immediately. Perhaps my subconscious mind wanted to make a final effort.

"Can you give me three days? I want to think about it carefully..."

"Oh! Of course, no problem. Rudeus, you too, can't stay in one city forever if you want to find your mother. Consider my suggestion. That's all."

After saying that.

Zoldat waved his hand and walked away gracefully.

So handsome.

Sometimes I also want to be such a handsome man.

Unfortunately, I was a loser who was kicked out of bed and kicked out of the room right after finishing the battle.

"..."

As I thought about this, my stomach started to hurt for some reason.

Is it the effect of alcohol or a psychological effect?

I don’t know, I don’t want to think about it…

After the effect of the alcohol wore off, all sorts of worries came flooding back into my mind, and my brain became a mess.

"Uh……"

Rudeus glanced at me.

"Do you want to continue?"

"No, I'm a little sleepy. After all, I stayed up all night last night."

Yawning, I stood up and went to the front desk to pay.

Let’s go back to the hotel and have a good sleep.

I think.

Once I'm clear-headed, I'll go find Sarah and ask her for clarification.

Adventurer: 44, Farewell Gift

When I woke up from the hotel bed again, it was already noon the next day.

I woke up once, ate something, and then felt dizzy, so I went back to bed to sleep.

Just like this, in a daze.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Apart from eating, all I do is sleep.

Compared to my usual life, it can be said that I have fallen to the extreme.

But I just can't cheer up.

I've already decided to reaffirm my feelings for Sarah, but I can't even figure out where to begin when we meet. I'm probably in a weirdly bad state right now...

Having said that, there is not much time left.

I had previously told Zoldat to respond in three days, and now half of that time had already passed. If I postponed it any further, wouldn't it be the same as before, a complete evasion?

all in all.

I forced myself to cheer up and headed to the Adventurer's Guild.

……

"Yo, Ron."

"Good morning, Ron."

"Hey, those dark circles under your eyes, are they because you didn't sleep last night?"

"Could it be that he's dancing on a woman's belly? Hahahaha..."

When they saw me appear in the union hall, people who knew me came to greet me.

unconsciously.

Because of my unique style, I became a little famous in this city.

If I have to say why, it's probably because I'm friendly and sincere to others.

At least I can't think of any other reason.

"Good morning everyone."

I forced a smile and took my seat in the union hall.

Seeing my actions, some people looked at me with doubt.

"Hey, Ron, aren't you in a hurry to do the commission today?"

"Well, I have to wait for someone for a while."

"Hehehe... Although it seems unlikely, could it be a woman?"

"Stop asking irrelevant questions."

We just chatted idly like this.

After almost half a day, I finally met the person I was waiting for.

The girl with short golden hair followed the people from [Counter Arrow] into the guild hall. It seemed that she had just completed a commission and was coming to the guild to hand it in.

So I got up and walked over.

Naturally, my actions did not escape the eyes of Sarah and others.

The moment I approached, Susanna waved at me enthusiastically.

I smiled back at her, then my eyes returned to Sarah.

Two days of absence.

She seems to be no different from before.

Except for the earrings on my ears, I was still wearing the same ranger outfit, with a dagger hanging around my waist and a bow and arrow on my back, looking very heroic.

And when my eyes moved down her thighs and fell on the pair of white over-the-knee socks, I couldn't help but pause for a moment.

It seemed that it noticed my burning gaze.

Sarah took a step forward expressionlessly.

She crossed her arms over her chest and said unhappily:

"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you staring at me? If you don't have anything to say, then get out of the way and don't get in the way here!"

This attitude is really too cold.

So much so that even Susanna couldn't bear to watch it.

"Sarah, you're..."

"This is between me and this guy, Susanna, don't get involved."

"You...sigh."

Susanna shrugged helplessly at me, as if to indicate that she was unable to help.

Actually, I had no intention of bothering others.

I came here today just to confirm Sarah's feelings.

"Sarah, um...if you're mad at me for something, I might as well apologize to you first."

"Nothing like that."

"Really? Then why are you so cold to me?"

"I've always been like this. I thought you would have gotten used to it by now."
