“After the long journey of the hero. The hero goes into the pub and has his stomach filled with a lot of delicious food.”
I said before I took a bite of the fried chicken legs in my hand. After biting and having a satisfying crunch. I took the cold root beer beside my plate and chugged it. Slamming the cup of root beer on the table.
“Ahh~”
I release a well-accomplished expression on my face.
“So good!”
“We’re very glad that Miss Hanayuki loves our dishes.”
“It is so good… I don’t have a single complaint. The chicken is juicy and the skin is crunchy. The gravy is superb. The most important thing. Everything is free. Making everything more delightful.”
“You’re quite right about that.”
The orc woman said who was eating beside me. On the opposite side of the table was the little girl Shaymi. Just like me, she had a very satisfied expres

“Please…don’t leave me here all alone, Snow…”Two tears trickled down Nimym's cheeks, dripped, and landed on the large feather lying on the ground. The drops sprinkled.That pale blue feather was the only remaining memento of her family and friends. Snow, the only friend and partner she’d known for many months.

“I’m sorry.”The light brown-haired girl said again.Ninym desperately blinked back tears and shook her head.“…No…It’s my fault…I was stupid. Thank you…for saving me…”She had to squeeze out the words between stifled sobs. The girl slowly approached, knelt before Ninym, and spoke hesitantly.“That small feather dragon… Is not a monster, right?”Ninym nodded and replied:“My friend was a spirit.”“It's not too late… there is still a way to save your friend.”She wiped her tears away and got confused about what Hanayuki had just said. Living things that have died won’t be coming back. It is true, but that law is not applied to everything in this world.For example, was spirit life. Spirits are creatures that will have the ability to live for a thousand years. They could still die, just like

After hearing her call, Hanayuki, together with Ninym, walked toward the table and sat down beside each other.Ninym looked at Shaymi. Shaymi immediately got an impression of Shaymi being Hanayuki’s little sister. But on second thought, she was calling Hanayuki by her name and not calling her big sister.“Who is this girl?”Asked Shaymi.“She’s a new friend, I discovered earlier.”“I was discovered?! I felt like I was compared to some kind of monster or animal…” Ninym turned and glanced at Shaymi. “My name is Ninym, nice to meet you… Are you Hanayuki’s little sister?”“N
