Grand introduced me to an inn that was close to the harbor. I decided to make that my place of residence while I stayed in Saurotay, and paid for my first week in advance. As expected of an inn recommended by the locals, the rooms were kept clean and the staff were polite and courteous. It wasn’t an especially luxurious place, but it was comfortable and pleasant.

I felt itchy all over from experiencing the ocean breeze for the first time in this world, and so got plenty of hot water to clean myself. As I wiped my face with a hot cloth, the spots where Dreeze had punched me started to sting. I suspected they would be quite swollen the next day.

Though I had to admit I had acted rather stupidly, it had been a day full of excitement. But my right hand was also sore, so I figured I’d better be a bit more careful. Whether it was practicing swordsmanship or blacksmithing, I needed that hand. If I injured myself for stupid reasons like today, my skill in both of those endeavors would suffer. That would be an insult to both Oswald and Kaeha.

Though I expect Master Damned Dwarf would say if I hurt my hand fighting, I just hadn’t trained enough. I don’t think anything I could do would get my fists as hard as his, so I considered getting some leather gloves for fighting.

Putting the fight aside, my plan for the next day was to visit Dreeze at his boat. He promised to catch me a fish to pay for the one he ruined, so if possible I wanted him to catch a squid or octopus for me. Even if they were unconventional food in this world, me being an elf would go a long way in explaining that away.

I was really excited for the morning, but something was still bothering me. The man that Dreeze had punched first, who had run away. There were people in this world who thought “the customer is always right” like in my previous life, just because they brought in money. But to speak so poorly of a bar’s food around all of its regular customers, especially when they were all rugged fishermen, seemed beyond reason. It was no surprise he had ended up immediately getting slugged.

And despite having the guts to talk like that, he had taken the first chance he could to slip out of the fight and run away. His behavior seemed somehow inconsistent. Maybe he had just tasted something bad, and let it slip without thinking. But I couldn’t imagine anything served in that bar being deserving of complaint.

Dreeze had mentioned him being a sailor for some company or other. I really couldn’t shake a feeling of unease. As I struggled with that problem in my head, I finished bathing and turned in early for the night in preparation for the next day’s adventures.

The answer to my doubts from the previous night came as I headed to the pier Dreeze had told me about.
