Agnes – 6
As the men’s momentum subsided, I also recovered the energy I had raised slightly.
It was meant to be prepared in advance for any unforeseen event, but it seems there was no need to prepare.
The bar’s guests didn’t know, but the owner seemed to be quite friendly with Agnes. Agnes couldn’t have had a conversation like that with a man he wasn’t close with.
The gaze of disgust and displeasure faded away, and all that remained was pure curiosity.
The men in this bar, including the owner called Uncle, rolled their eyes at me over and over again. He seemed to be wondering who the man Agnes had brought.
If Agnes noticed it too, he hurriedly told the bar owner.
“I’ll unpack and come back down. Please make dinner in advance.”
“Can I prepare what I ate before?”
“yes.”
As the man enters the kitchen, the eyes around him are scattered.
Agnes glanced at the guests a few times before beckoning to me.
‘It would be better to unpack the luggage first.’
He seemed to be saying that. I nodded my head in response to the unusually soft look.
The stairs were made of wood. There was a squeaking sound, probably from a little old build, but not enough to get my attention.
Rather, the stairs themselves caught my attention.
Despite the lack of magic in his body, and even defeating the demon king, there was something that made the climb up the stairs startling.
I stared at the wooden stairs for a moment, then cautiously moved forward.
squeaky.
…fortunately nothing happened.
As I walked up the stairs with a sigh of relief, what caught my eye was an old hallway.
It didn’t mean the hallways were dirty. Rather, open it until it becomes wider. Only traces are visible everywhere.

Judging by the many afterimages, it looked like a bar with a long history.
In particular, looking at the sword marks in the middle, I could tell that this pub does not operate a regular accommodation.
“Our room will be here.”
Agnes, who moved forward with his luggage, pointed to one side of the room and said:
It was the first room I saw when I went up the stairs.
Since it was an empty place anyway, I wondered if there was any meaning in choosing a room like this, but I followed Agnes’ words.
It sounds like you’ve been here for a long time, so it’s probably right to follow the locals’ advice.
It’s kind of awkward because I’m a local, but anyway.
The first thing that caught my eye as soon as I entered the room was the clean and tidy bed.
Contrary to the atmosphere of the outside hallway or the old image, the quilt that does not show a single yellowish spot definitely drew attention.
I wiped the duvet once with my hand and looked at my thumb and index finger.
Watching that no dust came off his hand, Agnes puts his hand on his waist as if proud of him.
“Originally, this place is famous for cleaning the closer it is to the entrance. So there is always someone staying near the entrance, but luckily no one is there now.”
“is it.”
I instinctively shook my hand once and muttered.
Agnes looked around the room and cautiously asked me how I was feeling.
“What do you mean?”
“Can you live with this?”
I smirked at Agnes, who treated me like a person who couldn’t live if I got even a single dust off.
“What are you looking at me for? You must have said it didn’t matter, right?”
“Ha, but it might be inconvenient… .”
“Even if it is inconvenient, it is my decision and it is my own action. You don’t have to go out and look for it.”
“All right.”
When I got depressed, I bowed my head and saw Agnes trying to get out, I thought for a moment before opening my mouth.
“I still found a place I was happy with. It is definitely a good inn.”
“Is that so? Fortunately, the.”
Agnes’ face brightened at once. I smiled and nodded my head.
“Oh, by the way.”
“yes?”
“What do you mean by our room? I hope you are staying in this room too… .”
“Uh, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Of course we will use our own room!”
“Then you will, so why are you raising your voice? There must be nothing caught.”
“It doesn’t take! There is no such thing.”
Agnes, who blushed in embarrassment, was cute. I muttered a little, unable to put a smile on my lips.
“Are you going to be fine one day a week?”
“yes?”
“It is nothing.”
Covering her blush-red face with her palms, she watched Agnes go back to her room.
This trip came entirely at Agnes’ request, so I’m going to let her do what she wants.
Even if they are in the same room.

After putting all our luggage in the room, we headed straight down.
Below, a man called Uncle had prepared dinner. Agnes said looking at the man.
“Your habit of cleaning near the stairs has not changed at all. Mr. Wheelett.”
“Couldn’t you just move on to regular cleaning? miss?”
wheelet. I guess that’s the man’s name. He was catching Agnes’ sharp gaze with a mischievous smile.

Judging from the reflexive attitude, it’s not something I’ve dealt with once or twice. At least in this field, it can be regarded as an expert.
Unsurprisingly, Agnes took a deep breath and sat down. He stared at the wheelet more, but he didn’t say anything.
It seemed to be a familiar landscape. It feels like a response made from long experience. Fillett smiled and offered me food.
“I don’t know if it will suit my taste, but I hope it tastes good.”
Hearing his words, I looked down at the food. Ordinary home-cooked meals, nothing special. It was a food that could be found everywhere.
I slowly put the food in my mouth. After a while without saying a word, he gulped and swallowed food.
Agnes was watching him intently.
It is truly a burdensome sight. She seemed curious how I would rate this food.
“How about eating some? Don’t just look at me like that.”
“Sin, sorry!”
Then Agnes puts the food in his mouth in a hurry. Still, I feel like I’m staring at him.
I think it’s the right thing to do to react.
“Okay.”
After eating all the food, I took a short sip. Hearing my words, Agnes sighed deeply. seems to be happy
Seeing that, Wheelet widened her eyes.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see you say I’m fine. He’s meeting me for the first time today.
Then it’s a story of being surprised to see Agnes’ attitude.
I guess I’ll have to talk to her while she isn’t there.
“I think the food was okay.”
“yes.”
I wiped my mouth once and got up slowly.
“Get up first. I’m going to go see the town or something.”
“Wait a minute, wait… .”
Agnes, who hasn’t finished dinner yet, hastily puts the food in her mouth. It looks like you’re trying to follow me.
I’m sorry, but that’s not the case.
“Eat slowly. There is no rush at all.”
“But you have never been here before, have you? You will need guidance.”
“No need to worry about that.”
I deliberately walked closer to the fillet and said.
“This person will guide you.”
“yes?’
Agnes comes out with a puzzled expression and takes turns looking at the fillets. It’s a little too small, and it looks like he’s bewildered.
And it’s the same with the wheelie. He opened his eyes wide and looked at me. like when i did
But for a while. I blinked a few times to get out, and he nodded as if he understood.
It was precisely because Agnes showed the silver coin pocket. It was part of the emergency fund I brought in just in case.
money is always right This truth does not change anywhere in the world.
After confirming my sincerity, Wheelett smiled and said.
“That’s right, miss. Are you enjoying your meal? I will guide you through the village.”
“What… . Mr. Wheelett.”
“Swallow the fried egg that stays in your mouth and speak.”
Agnes swallowed the fry at the pint glass of the fillet. A difficult time for Agnes to say.
I didn’t miss that gap.
“How many years have you been away from this town? I figured the wheelet, who had been with me for a long time, would do a better job of guiding me.”
His eyebrows twitched at the half-word called Fillet, but he didn’t say anything. The power of money is also powerful.
Wheelett and I exchanged glances and went outside. Fortunately, Agnes ate the food instead of saying something to us.
In fact, there may be no reason to stop us.
After moving away from the inn and bar, Fillett spoke up.
“This is a secret.”
“You are talking about the obvious. What good is there for me to tell you about this?”
Fillet, who received my small sincerity, took the lead, saying that she would help guide the village with all her heart.
I watch for a moment at the back of the head of Wheelett making fun of her light and exciting steps.
“You must know that I didn’t just want to be a guide. Middle class.”
He didn’t have to say it, but I put information into my mouth that I knew.
Then, Wheelet flinched and turned around.
He was radiating a different momentum than before.
The energy that until a while ago was nothing more than an ordinary bar owner.
“How much do you know?”
It transforms into mana that matches the afterimages on the hands or the muscles in the body.
He asked, looking fiercely at me.
“No, before that, what was your relationship with Miss Agnes? Nobility better.”
“Calm down and tell me.”
“Answer comes first.”
I frowned at Fillett’s tough attitude.
“This is not an offer.”
At the same time, it releases some energy. After leaving the academy, the momentum that has never been unleashed, has reached its apex.
“It’s an order.”
And the mana that reached the highest level.
“All, you… why.”
There was no room for an intermediate-level fillet to endure.
He clenched his teeth while his legs were shaking. Even not kneeling is surprising.
Mana is intermediate, but mental strength is far superior to that.
“What is it? Have you calmed down a bit?”
I wanted to be like this, so I recovered my energy.
Then, Fillett looks at me with a different emotion than before. A gaze full of fear, awe, and embarrassment.
the words that came out of his mouth.
“What do you want?”
It was the answer I wanted the most.
