The Former Hero Has a Realization

Allen reflected on what he had just heard as he walked through the now familiar town. The fact that he wouldn’t be receiving payment for a while yet was the most pressing issue. Although they had enough coins to last for the moment, his party was spending at a rate of at least three per day. The idea that they might not receive any funds for more than a month made Allen uneasy. In fact, he had paid a visit to the guild that day because his pockets were starting to feel empty. Even if the thought that he might have to stretch the money from the dragon’s scale a little, or even a lot further, had occurred to him, it was too late now.

Oh well. He would find a way to make it work somehow, whether that meant asking for an advance on payment or even buying a house, as Nadia had suggested. That might not be an ideal solution, but saving on the inn expenses alone would lighten the load a bit.

“Maybe I should get some advice on this?” he wondered aloud.

The thought that Riese and Beatrice would likely offer to cover the expenses themselves when they found they were about to run out of money presented something of a problem. In the first place, Allen had only paid for everything for simplicity’s sake, with the idea that everything would be squared up later. While Beatrice and Riese were by no means penniless, when it came to having cash on hand, their pockets were hardly overflowing either. No matter how many valuable resources they had, spending money required them to first receive payment. Since that in itself was a bother, everyone had agreed to Allen paying for now.

As a result, should Beatrice and Riese agree to pay in the future, they could afford to do so for a while yet. That wasn’t really an issue...but it didn’t sit right with Allen. To an outside observer, it would look like he was allowing a lady to take care of him—a situation he would rather avoid.

“I guess buying a house makes more sense, but I dunno how long I’m gonna be here for.”

He didn’t intend to stay in this town. It wasn’t a bad place—in fact, he thought it was pretty nice—but he got the sense that he’d never find a peaceful life so long as he remained here. Staying for a time was one thing, but taking up residence was unthinkable. And besides...

“I haven’t found a single clue since that day.”

He would head off to investigate whenever he heard talk of a monster that the local adventurers were having trouble with, but his efforts had turned up nothing. He had seen nothing else like the Fenrir and heard no information that seemed like a lead on the demons. That he had been able to do the guild a few favors in exchange for information was no bad thing, but the end result was the same as if he had received no information at all.
