After that, we arranged a horse-drawn carriage from the outskirts of town and prepared clothes for the women at a clothing store.
Then, we left the three to be treated at the church. Finally, we reported the defeat of the goblins at the guild, and the request was completed.
We were at the inn's bar to congratulate the rookies who had completed their first assignment. We had them prepare some food for us and we were all sitting around the table, but the expressions on the faces of the rookies were gloomy.
The reason for this, of course, was that they had witnessed such a tragic scene.
"I don't know if any of you are underage, but please refrain from drinking, it will affect you tomorrow."
"……" "Seeing such a sight may not make you feel like having a party, but please eat well and keep your energy up. That's also an important job as an adventurer." "……" "As long as you continue to be an adventurer, things like this are not uncommon. Depending on the situation, you may see even more tragic scenes. It's up to you to decide whether to quit now or continue." "...!" Everyone was at a loss for words when they heard my words.
The world is not made of fluffy, sweet sugar candy. That's why I'm going to confront them with the harsh reality of it. "But if I may say one thing." I move to tell the rookies what I wanted to say the most. "There will be no more victims of those goblins. Thanks to all of you. That much is certain. You can be proud of that." As I finished, I heard a clapping sound.
"Got something to say?"
"No, no, I just thought it was a good to give a lecture to some rookies." A man who seemed to be a mid-level adventurer said something like that to me, smiling wickedly. "Hey." Dotin stood up and stepped forward.
"If you want to get involved with this person, you'll have to get through me first. After all, I'm an incompetent student who still has a lot of things to learn." "Hehe...don't get so serious. It's just a casual joke you make at a drinking party, right?" Seeing Dotin up close, the pressure seemed to be considerable, and the man was clearly afraid. Dotin's words continue.
"Sure, I thought he was a scumbag at first."
Well, I thought so, too.
Dotin had always been a bit of a pain in the ass from the moment I met him.
"But that wasn't the case. This person's pockets are much, much deeper. Unlike you, who just messed around with a bunch of rookies like us and got all worked up."
"He's getting beat up by a rookie. That's not cool!" "I told him to stay away from the drinking..." They must be members of the guy's party. As voices can be heard from behind him. "I'm sorry ......!" The man who got involved in the situation looks embarrassed and turns away, but at least he apologizes.
"I'm sorry, He gets a bit cynical when he's drunk."
This time, the man who seemed to be the leader of the group cheerfully approached me. "He seems to be sorry, so can't you forgive him? I'll do the same for you, okay?"
Saying that, he closes one eye and lowers his head. I don't feel bad about his attitude. He has a good personality. "It's not something you should apologize for. I don't care if you forgive me or anything."
"Oh, you can talk. I like it!"
That's what he says in return.
"I'm not saying it's an apology but let me cover the bill here. I'm making good money here, you know?" With a friendly smile on his face, he makes such a proposal. "I'll take your word for it." I don't want him to buy me a drink, but I accept his offer to save his face.
That's how the banquet started, with them also included. I hope this will be a nice change of pace for the members of the party.
Chapter length 1726 characters.
Note: This is the last chapter of the volume, it's unlikely that the author will add more chapters for this volume. For those expecting some H-scenes in this volume, sorry you only got some small mentions of goblin rape. Haha.
If I had to guess the next few chapters for this volume would have been a scene with Charles and Netiliza after/during the banquet, with the volume ending with Charles leaving town and the party. Then it would be the start of the prologue chapter one (which is coming tomorrow) when he arrives in the new town.
