Still ecstatic about the success of his experiment, he noticed some kind of trouble occurring in the lodging’s courtyard. He could hear the voices outside since the windows were open. It had apparently been going on for a while now, but Ryo had been so focused on his work that the sounds simply hadn’t filtered into his ears until now.

“Hey, assholes. Cut the crap. She clearly doesn’t wanna go anywhere with the lot of you.”

“We’re knights of the national order and if you drink with us, I promise you’ll have a good time tonight. In fact, you can keep us company while we’re in Lune.”

“N-No, I don’t want to. Please, let me go.”

A group of knights were in the middle of trying to force a woman, who looked to be an adventurer, to accompany them. One of them had his hands on her. Upon closer inspection, she was less a woman and more a girl, clearly a minor around Amon’s age. Shockingly, the ones trying to protect her were none other than Dan and his lackeys in Room 1.

Although, because it was them, it was entirely possible they’d had her in their own sights before the knights... Ryo couldn’t decide one way or another since he didn’t know much about the goings-on in the dormitory.

“Woman, the fact that you’re in this annex means you’re still a new adventurer, doesn’t it? So you’re not making much money. You should just be grateful we’re offering to pay you to drink with us.”

“Not just to drink but stay with us all night long.”

The five knights guffawed in a vulgar way at their own so-called joke.

“No. I refuse.”

“Oh ho, you refuse, huh? Keep giving us lip and you’ll find yourself on your back whether you like it or not.”

A terrified girl who didn’t want to go with them...and Dan was trying to save her. It would be very tactless of Ryo to charge into this particular fray... Having said that, the knights looked strong. They must have accompanied the inspectors who came to investigate the latest Great Tidal Bore.

There are plenty of the sort of venues they’re looking for in the city itself, so why don’t they just go to one of those? Maybe...these knights are picky. Or they just have too much time on their hands.

That was all Ryo’s thoughts on the situation amounted to. But the tension gradually ratched up in the courtyard. While he absentmindedly watched the tableau outside unfold...things finally went too far.

“You low-class scum. I’ll teach you worthless adventurers the meaning of courtesy.” With those words, the knight holding the girl’s arm flung her in Dan’s direction and unsheathed his sword. “Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. Just give you a little lesson in manners.”

Then he took a huge step forward...and slipped and fell.

“Ngh—”

A patch of Ice Bahn had existed under his foot for only a second, but neither the knights nor Dan and his hangers-on had noticed it.

“Son of a bitch! Don’t you dare move. I’ll teach you...”

Ice Bahn.
