Chapter 74 An Encounter at the Hot Spring

In Alicia's eyes, Mr. Itō (Night City) is handsome, gentle and strong. He is not only considerate but also teaches them adventurers' experience from time to time.

Mr. Kuroki (Yosuke Shima) is a man of few words but exceptionally calm and reliable. Although he has an unusual appearance, it does not prevent him from being a good person.

Moreover, neither Mr. Itō nor Mr. Kuroki, despite their formidable strength, possessed the slightest arrogance; in fact, they were quite approachable and kind.

In Alicia's eyes, the two were the most perfect adventurers she had ever seen.

Alicia was naturally angry that such outstanding people as Mr. Itō and Mr. Kuroki were being belittled by others in front of her.

"I'm so sorry, my companion was a bit too blunt. Is this young lady also an adventurer?"

As a member of the Elven royal family, Cui is quite proper in all aspects of etiquette and manners under normal circumstances.

When she realized that what Mebel had just said had been a bit too broad, she immediately apologized.

When Alicia saw the elven girl apologizing to her so solemnly, she panicked and quickly waved her hands to indicate that it was okay.

"I am indeed an adventurer, but only a novice. I almost got killed by a bunch of goblins today. Perhaps, Mr. Itō..."

Alicia wasn't scheming, and since Cui and Meibel didn't seem like bad people either, the girls gradually became familiar with each other as they chatted.

"I see. So that's why you reacted so strongly when Mebel was talking badly about the other adventurers, Alicia?"

"Then let me guess, Alicia, have you fallen for Mr. Ito, the one who saved you? Or Mr. Kuroki?"

As the group became more familiar with each other, Cui began to tease the timid girl she had just met.

"No way! I've only known Mr. Ito for less than a day, how could that be..."

"Oh, it seems the answer is already clear. It seems Alicia prefers Mr. Itō to Mr. Kuroki."

While Cui was still teasing Alicia, Mebel sat quietly on the other side, then suddenly said thoughtfully, "Why do I feel that the Mr. Ito and Mr. Kuroki you mentioned are somewhat similar to people we know?"

Hearing what Mebel suddenly said, Cui, who was playing around with Alicia, was obviously stunned for a moment.

Then, when she recalled Alicia's description of the fighting style of "Mr. Itō" and "Mr. Kuroki," it did indeed resemble the two figures in her memory.

I didn't react at first, partly because Alicia's knowledge was limited, so the description of the battle wasn't very clear.

On the other hand, Cui knew that Ye Cheng and Shima Yosuke had gone out on business and could not possibly have gone to explore the dungeon, so she did not suspect the two of them.

"Alicia, could you please describe the physical characteristics of Mr. Itō and Mr. Kuroki?"

Don't misunderstand, we didn't mean anything by it. It's just that the Mr. Ito and Mr. Kuroki you mentioned seem to resemble people we know.

After Mebel's reminder, Cui realized that she had been traveling around here for so long since leaving her hometown. She had seen countless adventurers. How many adventurers could kill the Earth Dragon Lizard in one move?

No, so far, Cui has only seen two adventurers with this kind of strength: one is Yoshiro, and the other is Yosuke Shima.

"Um, Mr. Ito is a handsome young man with white hair, about the same age as us."

As for Mr. Kuroki, he looks rather old, and his appearance… “He looks like a half-orc, doesn’t he!”

"Yes, yes, Miss Midori and Miss Mebel know Mr. Itō and Mr. Kuroki? What a coincidence!"

In fact, when Midori heard that the so-called "Ito Makoto" was a handsome white-haired man who was skilled in swordsmanship, she had already roughly confirmed in her heart that the so-called "Makoto-nii" was Yoru.

And now, with the addition of Yosuke Shima, who has the appearance of a half-orc, it's practically a done deal.

After all, there is absolutely no other combination on the entire continent that is both a handsome white-haired swordsman and an orc-faced elf mage, and both of them are incredibly powerful.

"That bastard Ye Cheng told me he had important business to attend to, but all he did was take a hot and beautiful girl to conquer the maze and soak in the hot springs!"

They should be right across the street. I'm going to go settle the score with them!

After confirming the identities of Yoshiro and Yosuke, Midori wrapped herself in a towel without hesitation and prepared to go to the men's hot spring to settle scores with Yoshiro.

Unfortunately, at that very moment, the "Purgatory Hot Spring" inn where they were staying was suddenly attacked by monsters.

Logically speaking, since "Purgatory Hot Spring" was built here and the inn is surrounded by a barrier, there should have been no problems over the years, and this situation should not have occurred.

Because of the ability to "sense", Night City was able to detect the monster as soon as it approached the hot spring inn.

"Didn't you say before that this hotel has a barrier to defend against monsters and won't be attacked by monsters?"

Why do I sense the presence of many magical beasts approaching this place?

Hearing what Night City suddenly said, Lyca and Edgar were obviously stunned for a moment, and then they showed puzzled expressions.

However, when Ye Cheng's gaze shifted to Shima Yosuke, his uncle waved his hand, indicating that this time he did not impulsively damage the barrier.

Although he did intend to study it after soaking in the hot spring, he hadn't had a chance to make a move yet.

"Let's change our clothes and go outside. Honestly, I just want to relax in a hot spring, but you can't give me a moment's peace."

When the group arrived outside the hot spring, all dressed in bathrobes and armed, they discovered that many monsters had already entered the inn and were wreaking havoc.

Fortunately, there haven't been many guests at the hotel recently. At this moment, the hotel owner and his family of three are trapped in a room, where a wild boar-like monster is constantly banging on the door.

"Night City, it seems I can't use magic anymore..."

Yosuke Shima originally intended to deal with the monster, but he was soon shocked to find that he could no longer communicate with the micro-sprites in the air!

"It must be those birds in the sky. My 'aura perception' couldn't detect their presence. When my magic reached them, it seemed to just become chaotic and disappear."

These magical beasts were probably able to enter this hot spring inn because of these bird-like magical beasts.

Upon hearing what Yosuke Shima said, Yoru looked at the strange bird-like magical beasts in the sky and replied.
