Now, let us leave behind the frog statue outside the door and follow the shopkeeper inside as he goes into the tavern for more lemonade.

“I shall not stick my nose in too far, but…” Lizard Priest nibbled luxuriously on a fried sausage covered with copious amounts of cheese. It was not rude in lizard culture to talk while enjoying one’s food. “I wonder if it will go well… Of course, I certainly hope it will.”

“Ahh, things in this world turn out for the best eight or nine times out of ten,” said Dwarf Shaman, pounding his belly like a drum as he took a gulp of his stiff drink and proclaimed, “It’s fine!” He glanced to the side with a sly smile as he said, “What I’m really worried about is…”

The last person at the table, High Elf Archer, glared like she was hunting prey.

“Grrr…”

“What are you groaning about, Long-Ears?”

“Because!” She pounded the table, pointing outside the tavern as her ears flounced. “I tried that earlier, and I didn’t get a single one in!”

“All that means is that shooting and throwing are different things.”

“It’s not fair! I’m a high elf! We’re descendants of the gods!”

Then she took a desperate swig of her lemonade.

She had blown one bronze coin after another and still ended up having to purchase her own drink. It was the sourest lemonade she’d ever had.

“Well, such is the way of the world. Milady Ranger and milord Goblin Slayer have different talents.”

Lizard Priest’s tone suggested he was talking to a child. And Dwarf Shaman was only too happy to add his opinion.

“Sure it ain’t just that you’re sore about losing to Beard-cutter?”

“Sniiiiff… I-I’m not sore.”

Lizard Priest hissed with amusement as High Elf Archer ground out the words between her teeth.

“…Oh, wait a second.”

The elf suddenly flitted her ears in surprise, raising her head and turning to the window.

“Something the matter, milady Ranger?”

“Look out. They’re moving.”

She was right. The two of them were leaving the ball game behind.

Cow Girl shuffled regretfully, while Goblin Slayer strode as boldly as ever.

“Um, they’re saying… ‘Say hi to Guild Girl for me’ and ‘Yes.’”

Can’t he think of anything friendlier to say?

High Elf Archer puffed out her cheeks in annoyance, playing with her lemonade glass, now covered in condensation.

Dwarf Shaman stroked his beard, seemingly amused by this.

“I can’t think of a sillier use for an elf’s ears.”

“Oh? Don’t you know anything about human culture, dwarf?” High Elf Archer gave him an unusual and confident smile, her ears standing straight up. “If you can do silly things, it shows you have enough resources to afford the luxury.”

“Sounds to me like the excuse of someone who got so caught up in what she was doing that she forgot her purse someplace.”

“That has nothing to do with this.”

“This is why I hate elves! Always trying to hide their problems.”

“Strong words when dwarves can only ever think about money!”

And then the two friends were off again on one of their usual arguments.

Lizard Priest watched them in pleasure, slapping his tail on the floor.
