Chapter 100: Famous people
Elio walked downstairs and there was already some commotion.
"Did you see that light just now?"
"Didn't it come from the upper floor?"
"Everyone's here exactly because of that, dumbass."
"Someone must have obtained a special item. That kind of light is very rare…"
"It was silver as well."
There were a lot of people crowding the hall on the ground floor.
Miss Rin was trying to explain to them how they did not know anything about the light either.
Some were plainly curious about the light, but as Alex and he could see, some were not here with pure intentions.
"What's going on here?" She spoke up with a loud voice that everyone present here heard clearly.
After the battle and the contribution as well as after they saw her destroy pretty much everything in the Library event, she had become well known in this town.
Her voice was also famous now, so everyone present in the hall including the players and natives heard instantly knew who this voice belonged to.
"Why are there so many people here?"
She knew the answer to that, but she still looked at everyone present with an annoyed look, especially those who came in here with impure intentions.
Some people instantly left the hall and some who were surprised by her sudden presence also prepared to walk out of the inn.
Those who had food and drinks on their tables tried avoiding her gaze by focusing on their food.
While Miss Rin who understood the situation took up the chance.
"Oh. Alex, good timing. Some of these people saw some kind of light coming out of your room and were wondering what it was.
Do you know anything about it?"
As soon as Miss Rin mentioned that the room that the light had originated from belonged to her, a lot of people either choked on their food or almost three whatever fluid was in their mouth.
They knew how she had beat up some of the higher level players as a mere (Level-20) a while back, and they knew how strong she was after her performance in the battle and the library event.
She was the highest contributor in both places, so it was obviously no coincidence.
Even the dumbest of them would know what would come out of messing with her.
"Chirp~?"
Sera was still in Elio's hands, and everyone could see this unique looking bird.
The smarter ones could tell the light must have had something to do with this special looking creature, but they did not try to look at it for too long.
The person holding the bird was already famous as someone who had a slime and a strange lizard.
He was also famous as her lover, and someone who was just as special as her.
Messing with either of them was not going to be good, and both of them had a good relationship with the guard captain and the mayor. So, none of them wanted to go to jail and spend the following few days there for doing anything stupid in this stupid game.
"I see. People saw a light from our room? What about it?"
She looked at the people who must be here to ask about the light with an annoyed look.
She was practically telling them to piss off with those eyes.
And, afraid, some of them did leave the inn without saying anything anymore.
If the light was connected to her, there was nothing they even wanted to do with it anymore.
Most of them left, and the room was cleared up.
Those who were too afraid to move or catch her attention just continued with their food and started playing with the system interface without paying any attention to the two of them– or the special bird.
"Miss Rin? Can we have a moment please? Is Misha in her room?" Elio asked her with a little concerned look as they walked down.
"Oh, yes. She's in the back."
Miss Rin could tell he wanted to talk about something. And from the look Alex had, she could also tell it must be about something related to their departure.
"Go ahead. I'll be there in a minute."
Now that the festival and event were over, the inn was open once again.
She was going to leave soon, so she was going to entrust this place to someone she trusted, so she also had to look after that.
"Alright."
She will be bust for a few days, and when they leave, she might not even get to tell the others about her circumstances.
But, she was familiar with this kind of sudden departure.
"Chirp."
Sera greeted Miss Rin and she could tell this new little bird she was seeing for the first time was something unique.
There was something about this one that caught disturbed something deep within her soul, but they could do their introductions later.
"It won't take long, so please join us soon."
The two of them went in after he said that, and after crossing the kitchen, they reached the back area where they mostly stored things.
"Miu!"
"Muuuuuu~."
"Hey! No! That's cheating!"
This storage room had become their playground since a few days ago. They mostly played either in the hall, or in the kitchen, or in this room.
This was a pretty spacious place so there was quite a bit of room to play various games.
"What are you three playing this time? Hide and seek?"
When the two of them entered the room, the girl was running behind the slime while Miu was laughing at them from the top of a high shelf.
The two had no idea what they were playing, but it seemed like just like most of the time, their human friend was losing once again.
"Brother Elio! Sister!"
They were lost in their own fun, but as soon as they saw Elio and Alex, they came running to them– and while she was running at them, her eyes met the golden eyes of the unique bird in Elio's hands.
"Woh!"
Misha stopped right in her tracks and shouted as soon as she saw the pretty looking bird.
"Who's this, brother Elio!"
Then she ran back to him once again and looked up at the bird with stars in her eyes.
Her excitement was obvious.
Seeing this unique being sparked a new excitement in her pure heart, and the first thing she thought when she looked at her was how she might have a new friend to play with.
{ "Oh? An Ichorborn?" }
But then the bird talked, and the stars in her eyes transformed into a kind of sudden fear that neither of them had ever seen on her until now.
