Well, in any case, they couldn’t keep talking in front of the reception desk forever. They were in the process of reporting back about a quest here.

After smiling wryly and shrugging at the receptionist, who was watching them intently, they finished the quest completion report. The receptionist seemed to have questions, but she must have understood they were outside the scope of her duties. She kept it strictly business related, and once Stina finished her own report, she and Soma’s group left the guild.

“All right, what shall we do now?” Soma asked.

“In a lot of ways, it’d be the least hassle for me if we split up now,” Stina replied.

“I suppose so.”

She’d probably emphasized “a lot of ways” intentionally. She couldn’t be optimistic enough to believe they weren’t suspicious of her, but she wasn’t running or hiding—either because she was sure those suspicions wouldn’t be confirmed, or maybe out of desperation. It would have been great for Soma if the actual reason was the goodness of her heart...but nevertheless.

“Regardless of what you ultimately do, you have leeway to consider traveling with us, don’t you?” Felicia asked.

“Well, if I didn’t, I would’ve left already.”

“Then how about we go somewhere we can relax? It will be easier to talk that way...and it might also be good to decide where we’re staying tonight while we’re at it.”

“Oh, that might be good,” Soma agreed.

It wasn’t even past noon yet, but they had been camping out for the last two days. It had been a forgone conclusion that they would rest in an inn tonight to recover from their exhaustion.

They’d also been able to take a more lucrative quest than they’d expected, so they had some room in their pockets. It wouldn’t be good to linger too long, but considering what lay ahead, they had to take a breather.

And since it was not yet afternoon, it would be easier to get a spot in an inn. It also wouldn’t be a problem to do whatever they were going to do after that, so Soma, at least, had no objections.

“Well, I was gonna take it easy today too, so I don’t mind...” Stina said.

“Mm-hmm... Settled?”

“Yes, it’s settled,” Soma declared. “Let’s look for an inn. Do you know of any good ones, Stina?”

“I took a quest right after I got here, so I dunno. Maybe I should’ve asked at the guild.”

“But it would look silly to go back and ask now, wouldn’t it?” Felicia asked.

“Well, we can look as we walk,” Soma said.

None of the others seemed to object to that, so for the time being, they began walking around the area.

The guild faced the main road. They’d gone down it three times to get to the guild—once down the east side, twice down the west side—but hadn’t looked closely since it had been early. But some time had passed since then, and now that they gave the area a closer look, it was actually quite lively. Adventurers were glancing at the storefronts, probably to prepare for whatever quests they were about to undertake.
