“Chapter 206: The Village of the Hot Springs”


    Exactly ten minutes later.


    – Takaya, we’re almost at Wols. (Rifaiv)


    – Right, thank you.


    – I hope we get to talk again. Have this. (Ralph)


    Ralph handed me a coin with a dim blue glow.


    – Is this… Mithrio!? I can’t possibly take it, mithrio is stupidly rare.


    – Really? Doesn’t seem like enough payment for a contract with you.


    A contract?


    I guess after finding someone who can do maintenance on his weapons he really doesn’t want to let me go.


    – Fine. But please, bring one weapon at a time. I can’t fix that many at once.


    – We got a deal then.


    I looked over and saw the boat was already positioned above our destination.


    The clouds had also cleared out completely. Piece of cake for a sage, I guess.


    – Takaya! Look over there! (Meirir)


    Spread beneath us were countless settlements scattered around a volcano.


    All the villages added together were ten times the size of Bay Road.


    – Do I smell hot springs? (Takaya)


    – Spot on! There are lots of hot springs surrounding the volcano. (Meirir)


    A bath sounds nice, actually. I haven’t had a proper one since I came to this world.


    There is a common bath in Bay Road, but it’s always crowded, so I end up leaving before even entering the water.


    – Dyke, can you house everyone at your place? (Meirir)


    – No. I don’t want to. Why me? Takaya would be happier staying with you anywa-GWUH!?


    Meirir’s fist connected with Dyke’s face.


    – My house is cramped and you know it. Just do it, honorable son.


    – Honorable son? Is Dyke’s family rich or something? (Takaya)


    – Well… You’ll know once we get there. (Roar)


    Clinging to an annoyed Dyke, we rode on the dragons to go back to the ground.


    – See you later, Takaya! I’ll tell Shiori about our conversation. (Rifaiv)


    – Don’t forget about our contract! (Ralph)


    – Thank you! Take care!
