Once we’d returned to the inn, Eva gathered everyone up.

The room was lined with a handful of beds with only a narrow gap between them. It was a room that really spoke volumes of the overpopulation situation in Lorcan. Simply put, there were far too many people for the number of inns.

Additionally, the cost of staying a night was quite high.

The reason we booked an inn despite the cost came down to how dangerous it was to camp outside. With that said, Damian had spent the night in his Dump Truck, which he had parked nearby, and Lily was tending to him, so they were not present.

The Dump Truck was large, yes, but it was so full of Damian’s things that it couldn’t hold everyone.

“Isn’t this cruel?” Shannon discontentedly complained. “The traveling show is about to start, you know. I’ve been looking forward to it since yesterday.”

She apparently took offense to being summoned on such short notice.

“You’re taking everything in stride, huh,” I said. And immediately, she aimed a kick at my knees.

She gritted her teeth as I took a step back to dodge. “What’s wrong with using my own money to have some fun?!”

“I never said there was anything wrong with it. Don’t be so crabby,” I teased.

Miranda then took on an attitude like she was scolding small children and said, “Keep it at that, you two. Just look at that scary look on Eva’s face.”

“What scary look?!” Eva sullenly shot back. “No, forget about it. I’d like to start by making sure. How much do you people know about qilin?”

It was Aria who answered, “They’re qilin, right? They’re the envoys of the goddesses and beasts of good fortune, right?”

Sophia nodded. “Yes, I’ve heard they’re among the most commonly sighted divine beasts. Not that I’ve ever seen one myself. Also, I’ve heard you can be a hero if you get a qilin to follow you.”

“Huh? Aren’t they just monsters that don’t get up to bad things?” Shannon asked with a curious tilt of her head.

It seemed that the little girl didn’t get it, so Clara offered a simple explanation.

“They are not monsters, they’re divine beasts,” she explained. “Of all the divine beasts, qilin are said to be the ones fondest of humans. There are plenty of sightings, and some known cases of a qilin taking fondly to a human. Those humans succeed more often than not, and so qilin have been called the divine beasts that carry good fortune.”

“I like the sound of that,” Shannon said with a deeply invested nod. “I bet they’ll love me. Though I’m sure they’ll hate guys like Lyle.”

“Say what?!”

She riled me up, but Miranda stopped me before I could snap back.

“You settle down, Lyle. More importantly, qilin are very important to nobility. It’s supposedly a good omen to see one before a battle, and legend has it that any territory that houses a qilin will prosper. There are plenty of nobles who pull out all the stops to capture them.”

Novem listened in silence.
