Chapter Twenty: The Dwarves’ Wisdom

We spent the rest of the day following Arim around town.

During both lunchtime and dinnertime, all of the townsfolk headed to Arim’s father’s inn. They brought the ingredients they had harvested in the fields, and the innkeeper cooked a large meal for all of the workers. We hadn’t witnessed it on our first day in town, since it had been past lunchtime when we had arrived and everyone had already eaten. Likewise, the innkeeper had prepared our dinner early the previous evening so we could eat with his family, and we had spent the rest of the evening in our room.

And at last, the next day, we got the authorization to go explore the abandoned mine. Arim’s father volunteered to take us there, and we gladly accepted his offer. By the time we were ready, Arim was about to head out as well.

“Papa, Chise, where are you going?” she asked us.

“I’m takin’ ’em to the abandoned mine. I’ll be right back, okay?”

“We’ll be back for dinner,” I told the dwarf girl.

“Okay! I’m going to help the people in the fields! And when I’m done, I’m gonna help papa with the inn!” she told me enthusiastically.

My face broke into a smile.

“My, what a hardworking girl you are.”

“You’re amazing, Arim!”

“Tee-hee! Ah, but I play with my friends too, so I’m not hardworking all the time,” the little girl said shyly before turning around.

I stopped her right before she left and beckoned her closer.

“Here, I made you some more candy,” I said, taking a small pouch out of my magic bag and handing it to the little girl.

“Oooh! Thank you!”

“Give some to your friends too, all right?”

I had actually included a single mint-flavored candy, a flavor that I knew most children hated. I couldn’t help but snicker thinking about their reaction. Did that make me a bad person?

“Well then, should we go, lasses?”

“Yes. Lead the way.”

Prompted by the innkeeper, we set off toward the abandoned mine. After climbing a winding path, we reached the gouge I had spotted in the rocky mountain when we arrived in town. The entrance to the mine was right there. A group of dwarves in heavy armor and carrying large hammers stood guard in front of it. These were the vigilante corps the innkeeper had told us about.

“These are the lasses I told ye guys ‘bout,” the innkeeper said.

“So ye’re those adventurer lasses, huh? I mean, ye got the authorization, so you can go in, but are ye sure ye want to? What business ye got in the mine anyway? Y’wont find much in there,” one of the dwarves asked us, his comrade nodding in agreement beside him.

“We just have to check something,” I said.

“I mean, I won’t stop ye, but it really ain’t a good idea. That mine’s teemin’ with monsters, y’know?” the dwarf cautioned.

I forced a smile on my face. Clearly, they didn’t believe three frail-looking girls like us would be able to take on the monsters in the mine.

“Do you have any advice for us?” I asked, swiftly moving on.
