Chapter 4: Adventurer’s Inn

“This is almost certainly a Dragon Slayer.”

“I...did iiiit!”

Berkanan’s voice trembled. She rose so forcefully that the table jolted, but High Priest Tuck just gave a gruff smile and held it down with the palm of his rough-hewn hand.

Cheering joyously after finding the piece of equipment they’d been seeking—that was something any adventurer would find relatable.

“I did it! I did...! I found one! This is a Dragon Slayer! I found it!”

“All right, all right, we get it.” Raraja scowled. “Settle down. It’s not time for the main event just yet.” He couldn’t stand the way she squealed with glee and hugged him. His chair was knocked over with a clatter.

This wasn’t an unusual sight in Durga’s Tavern—except, given the current state of affairs, it actually was. This town’s economy was wholly dependent on the dungeon, and the fire dragon had ground everything to a halt. The air seemed to have grown stale; the flow of money and items had halted and gone stagnant.

An adventurer who’d had enough “success” to start cheering... It was a rare sight now.

Berkanan got flustered as the chair tipped over, and Raraja rose to his feet with a string of angry words.

High Priest Tuck observed the exchange. He’d said he would pick up the tab—this would help Raraja and Berkanan put away more money toward paying off the latter’s resurrection.

I don’t know why it is...

Watching young adventurers make progress always put Tuck in a great mood.

“Maybe I’ve grown old...”

“Like that’s anything new.” Sarah cackled, her face red with intoxication. “You’re the oldest one here. C’mon, Garbage-chan, how’d you like some of this? Eat up. Eat up.”

“Woof...”

The redheaded lass was sitting meekly on the elf’s lap. When Sarah would bring the food to her mouth, Garbage would munch on it...but her expression made no secret of the fact that she was not a fan of her current predicament. However, the girl didn’t act irritated—either she knew she was no match for Sarah, or she thought that making a fuss would only cause more of a headache.

“Sorry, but bear with her, would you?” High Priest Tuck pushed a sausage toward Garbage as a token of apology.

Whether she could understand what he was saying—and whether he should have been talking to her at all—was another matter.

“Our own companion died recently,” the dwarf explained. “He’ll come back, I’m sure, but she’s been worried about you as a result.”

“Arf.”

Garbage replied with a single bark that perhaps implied, “She’s hopeless.” Tuck smiled a little at that.

“Ahh, sorry! I’m sorry, um, I...!”

Berkanan apologized profusely as she pulled Raraja to his feet. Despite his attitude, the boy didn’t blame her in the slightest.

“Don’t make such a fuss. It’s annoying... I’m fine, okay?”

Even as she looked away, refusing to involve herself, Garbage was mentally keeping tabs on the two of them.

They’re a good party, thought High Priest Tuck. He could imagine what they were like while exploring. Yes—fine young people and a good party. Hopefully they would be able to keep making progress through the dungeon.
