Chapter 68

Chapter 68

Because Seol picked out a quiet lodging, he didn't run into anyone when went down the stairs from the 2nd to the 1st floor.

"Stop!"

Kibo, who was just about to take a sip of his tea, looked upstairs at the unexpected sound.

It was because that voice definitely belonged to Seol. And he sounded urgent.

A woman stomped down to the 1st floor at lightning speed.

She then asked Kibo a question.

"Are you that hooligan, Kibo?"

"Uh... Who?"

"How dare you come this early in the morning? Don't you know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day? Seriously, how did—"

"Karen, stop it."

Seol, who had caught up to Karen, calmed her down.

She huffed and puffed as she sat down in the chair right next to Seol's. Even so, she continued to glare down Kibo as if she wanted to kill him.

"Ah, oh no... I was hoping to have breakfast with you... Did I overstep my boundaries?"

"It's fine. And I'm fine with anything."

"Okay, well I bought some freshly baked bread from the bakery in front of here, it's a bakery I visit often."

Karen's gaze cooled down and became soft. "You should've just said that from the start~ I was worried I'd have to teach you manners for a second. It's nice to spend the mornings together like that, hahaha!"

"By the way... Who is she? Could you please introduce me to her?"

"Urm... Just think of her as my party member."

"A party member, huh... it's a pretty unique combination. It's nice to meet you, I'm an old man named Kibo."

"Karen's my name."

"Haha... I never thought I'd meet an elf so easily in Nobira of all places. It really was worth living this long."

- Kibo: Yare yare~ What a dangerous combination.

- It really is dangerous though... The two of them are super fucking dangerous.

- Plus Karen's the older one...

Seol, after seeing that Kibo's subordinates were on guard of their surroundings, asked Kibo a question.

"Breakfast is nice, but if it's alright, I'd like to ask a question."

"Why wouldn't it be alright? Ask away."

"Did something happen recently in Nobira?"

"What makes you ask that?"

"Because there's word that the residents here are uneasy."

"Hm..."

Kibo then answered, scratching his chin, "Yeah, something did happen."

"What..."

"Do you know what the closest city north of Nobira is?"

"Well, if you include towns too, it would probably be Wiggleton in the northwest. After all, they're right on Nobira's border, no?"

To the west of Nobira was the Great Forest, and to the south of Nobira was Kongory, the free city. And in the northwest, there was a town called Wiggleton that was a bit too ambiguous to be called a city.

'Wiggleton's also in an area that borders the other races.'

Kibo nodded.

"Yeah, and Wiggleton was attacked recently."
