543 Ex-Strong, Probe The Status Quo
543 Ex-Strong, Probe The Status Quo
Soma arrived at the rendezvous point about five minutes before the time he had decided.
Because time is time, the number of people seems to be growing more than it was when we broke up with everyone, and it's showing a lot of buzz.
That should be called the center of the city, or after a glimpse of such a place, Soma nods one fuzzy.
It seemed that Sheila and the others hadn't come yet, not just Stina.
Now I wonder what's going on... but soon it won't be necessary.
Looking around from the spot again, because the pair I just found out were coming from the west.
They noticed this way right over there, too, and bowed their heads as they came along.
"Sorry to keep you waiting"
"... I'm sorry to keep you waiting"
"No, my seniors are just here now, and it's before assembly time in the first place. There is no problem."
That being said, Fujima smiled bitterly because for a moment I thought that the way it was said was like a date rendezvous.
Even though the whole city is surrounded by people called the Demons, and so on.
Yet the atmosphere flowing there isn't much different from that in other cities where Soma knows, and he's gotten used to those things to the extent that such bullshit comes to mind reflexively.
But soon afterwards, Soma tilted her neck.
Because Sheila and the others had a strange vibe.
"Hmm...? What happened to both of you?
"Huh? Why not?
"The atmosphere is strange somewhere, but... it's not that I couldn't find a single inn, is it?
"Well, I certainly didn't find the inn... well, if the atmosphere feels weird, it would be caused by something else"
"... hey, I've finally seen what's going on outside the city"
What it meant was immediately understandable.
It's what Soma cared about, too, and I nod so much.
"I mean, I didn't see a single demon,"
"You know that much just by your current words..."
"... n, that's right"
"Well, I didn't think of it earlier, so I can't say much about it. But then again, it seems unlikely that we were just lucky earlier..."
"... n"
That's all I'm talking about when I say what's going on.
Unless there's something thoughtful about this city, it's not like we're trying to base ourselves here.
No matter if there are any disturbing signs, it is irrelevant unless it comes down to us.
but what you realize but pretend not to know is that if something happened, you just woke up badly, and most importantly, soma ordered a sword here.
If something were to happen, for example if this city were to disappear, it would be very troubling.
Though.
"Hmmm... find out about it, stick your neck in it, first after Stina gets back."
"Well, we can't just go ahead and talk on our own, and we haven't decided what she's going to do in the first place."
"...... hmm.... By the way, who's Soma?
That didn't mean anything that bothered me, it simply meant what happened to the inn.
But when Soma smiled bitterly, she shrugged her shoulders.
"If you ask me if I've found you in the direction you're headed for, it's the same as the two of us, something like that. I changed direction when I realized it, so I found some."
"A change of direction... was that it?
"Well, if you can't find an inn in the first place, it doesn't make sense. But it seems that Stina had already found a good place, so I can't tell you if she needed it."
"... Stina?... Already here?
"Hmm? Oh, no, we didn't meet here, did we? He missed it on the way."
Technically, you wouldn't call that a mistake, but the details would be good.
and.
"Mm..."
It was then that the bell began to ring.
Heavy, loud sounds echo all around you, like they come through to the core of your body.
This is the third time I've heard this, but it's like I'm gonna stop on my leg no matter how many times I hear it.
But as long as they looked lightly at the scene, most of them seemed not to care much about the sound.
It doesn't just sound that way to Soma, it simply means I'm used to it, I guess.
The fact is that Sheila and the others seem to care, and those who are surprised have just come to this city.
"I'm sure the time is easy to understand, but I'm going to be quite concerned until I get used to it."
"Right...... well, I don't know if you're here until you get used to it"
"...... hmm.... By the way, what about Stina?
The time to poke the next bell was short, and the sound of the twelve bells was quickly over.
But even after that, there's no way Stina's gonna show up.
"Hmm... looks like it still is. Quite a hassle, isn't it?
"To find a place to stay, is that it? Didn't Mr. Soma say he had already found a good spot earlier?
"No, not a lodging relationship... wrong, I thought I said? Stina seemed to be helping a lost child at the time."
"... because of that, are we behind?
"That's what it is"
"I see... if that's what you mean, you have no choice"
"Hmm. Well, he didn't want to admit it... but if you make a rumor, it's a shadow."
That's what I said. At the end of Soma's gaze is what Stina looks like running toward us.
Apparently, I'm late, so I'm in a hurry.
When I smiled bitterly that I didn't need to go that far, it came right in front of me.
"Shh, I'm sorry... I'm late."
"I didn't have to rush anything. I was just talking about the situation... and by the way, did you deliver it properly?
"Hmm, naturally, to whom - there's no way to send it! That's why you said you just preached!? He left it on the spot right after that!
"Well, is it...? Then why did you delay?
"Well, that's... duh, I'm just too enthusiastic about finding accommodation!
"I thought you said you found a good place to stay at that point?
"Ya, because I figured I couldn't be more satisfied with that! That's why Stina was looking for the accommodation she deserved to stay!
"Hmm... is that so"
"That's right!
It was somehow a desperately overlapping Stina, but Soma eventually shrugged her shoulders back to it.
It would be obvious that whoever sees it is lying.
In fact, Felicia and the others would not know exactly what was going on, but they were getting a frightened bitterness.
"... just a sister, somewhat like Eina?
"Eina wasted so much intent... no, is it something similar when it comes to something similar? Hmmm... it's possible that their house is developing that kind of personality...?
"What kind of house..."
"What about Omei and the others looking for a place to stay?" Stina has found the right place!
"I found a few things in my life... but I can't tell you anything. It is not a bad lodging, but it is a delicate place to say that it is a good lodging."
"... this one, zero in the first place"
"Well, we didn't seem to have an inn in the first place."
"Phew, what is it, it's sloppy. Then there's no choice, so I'm going to show you to the inn that Stina found specially!
That being said, Stina tried to move out of spite, but Soma waited there.
I could have gone to the inn first, but then it would be a hassle twice.
"Oh, one thing before that, okay?
"Yeah? What is it?
"Can we stop by the guild before we head to the inn?
"To the guild...? Did you remember something?
"Oh I see...... it does sound like you'd rather listen in the guild first than go to the inn"
"... Well, since I went to the inn, I did have a lot of trouble twice"
They immediately understood what Soma meant by what she said, and Felicia and the others immediately convinced and nodded.
Regardless of what conclusions Stina draws, we need to discuss the demons anyway.
Then it would be better to check with the guild and discuss it at the inn, which would save you a lot of trouble.
But naturally, Stina has no idea what's going on, and apparently that's what she's unhappy with.
Even if you don't put it in your mouth, the gaze you see at a glance is pointed at you.
And when Soma smiled bitterly, he explained it to Stina, including what Felicia and the others had just heard.
