My Pet Is a Holy Maiden

Chapter 97

Another reunion

“So, what happened to those two in the end?”

It was the day after the reunion with the bard Taland and the shocking encounter with Tarzumil .

“Oh, it looks like those two escaped from the town last night . ”

After such an experience, I can understand why they can’t stay in that town .

Tatsumi’s reply was met with a somewhat sympathetic chuckle from Yerimao .

Taland and Tarzumil had been naked and exposed in the middle of the street for over an hour, according to Tatsumi . Even the two men with their strong mental strength couldn’t endure it .

Even so, they seemed to have recovered their own clothes and equipment, so you could say that they were very careful .

But you know what? If that’s the case, don’t we need to find a good demon hunter? For example, that Tengan .

I’m sure you’re right, but …… no matter how good he is, I definitely don’t want to be around him! I’m sure he’ll be gazing at Calce’s breasts 24/7!

Tatsumi’s opinion was filled with his own personal views, but neither Jolt nor Yerimao said anything . I’m not going to say anything about it, because I learned the hard way last night that it’s true .

“I can’t judge whether or not he is a good demon hunter . I’ll leave that to the real experts, Tatsumi and Calce . ”

“To tell you the truth, I’m not too familiar with the rumors and fame of demon hunters, so I’ll leave that to Calce . ”

It would have been nice if Jadoc and Miluir had accompanied us, if possible .

‘It can’t be helped, sir . The two of them were on their way to hunting beasts before we left .

Calcedonia responds to her husband’s murmur as she places her own beast of burden, a Ferrari, next to Tatsumi’s Porsche .

After Bath and Nanu’s wedding, Jadoc and Miluir immediately went off to hunt .

Originally, they had planned to leave before Bath and Nanu’s wedding, but they waited until after the wedding .

Jadoc and Miluir might be in the middle of confronting a demonic beast somewhere in the middle of nowhere .

The two of them were going to the south, so they wouldn’t happen to meet us on their way north .

It would have been reassuring to have the two of them with us .

“It has not been decided whether or not the illness is related to a demon, and even if there were demons actually involved, Master and I might be able to handle it on our own . ”

“That’s true . But, as Jolt said, it’s better to have a good demon hunter in mind, right? Do you know of any famous demon hunters who are active in the vicinity of our destination?”

At her husband’s question, Calcedonia put her fingertips to her mouth and thought about it .

I’m not sure where they are right now .

They have a certain range of activities and bases of operations, but they move from place to place in search of their target demons, so there is no way to pinpoint their whereabouts .

If you decide to hire a demon hunter, it would be best to ask the owner of the tavern or inn where the demon hunter is based to introduce you .

Well, I remember that El-san often asked me to introduce him to demon hunters .

The Elf’s Resting Pavilion is frequently used by Tatsumi and Calcedonia .

It must be an essential ability for the owner of a store based on the hunting of magical beasts to be able to assign such jobs to the most suitable hunter .

When Tatsumi was at the Elf’s Rest, he remembered seeing Elle assigning jobs to the best demon hunters .

So, if we need to hire a demon hunter, it would be best to look for one in Toga?

“That would be the case . The city of Toga is the largest in this area and has the largest concentration of demon hunters . ”

There is no doubt that a place where more people and goods are gathered – a big city – is easier to find skilled demon hunters .

In addition, there are also some very skilled demon hunters who stay in the mountains and train hard, like Tarzumil .

“In this case, I will stop by Ragine’s village first to determine whether the disease in question is really a disease or whether it is caused by the magical beast’s ability . Then, if necessary, we can go to Toga and hire a demon hunter . How about that as a rough plan for the rest of the trip?”

“That’s fine . Yerimao-sensei and I will follow Tatsumi’s instructions . Right, Sensei?”

“Yes . Our objective is to conduct an inspection in Toga, but we don’t have a definite deadline . I’m sure you’ll be happy to know that we’re not the only ones who have a problem with this . ”

After getting approval from Jolt and Yerimao, Tatsumi then looked at Calcedonia next to him .

Of course, there was no way that Calcedonia would disagree with Tatsumi’s opinion, and the general plan for the future of the group was now decided .

After spending the whole day on the road, the group arrived at the next inn before nightfall .

This town seemed to be much smaller than the previous one, but it was still bustling with people .

Travelers, peddlers, mercenaries, and demon hunters, all of them looking for a place to sleep and eat for the night, entered the inn .

“Hey, Calce . Are there any innkeepers in this town that you know of?

No, I’ve been to this town a few times, but I don’t have any innkeepers that I’m familiar with like I did yesterday .

In the past, when Calcedonia was working with Morganaik, they were often traveling and chose to camp out rather than use the smaller inns .

Therefore, the number of times Chalcedonia used inns in this town was not that many .

Tatsumi muttered to himself, “Then we’ll have to find a suitable place to stay .

Tatsumi’s role on this trip was to protect Jolt and Yerimao . As such, it would be unwise to stay at an inn that was too cheap .

As for the amount of money they had, Jolt and Yerimão are the clients, so there is no need to think about saving money on accommodation .

Yerimao is also a high-ranking nobleman, and Jolt is royalty .

Considering the two of them, it would be better to choose a high class inn with good security, even if the cost of accommodation is a bit higher .

Tatsumi conveyed this idea to Calcedonia . Tatsumi was not yet able to fully judge the quality of the inn .

Calcedonia, a seasoned traveler, looked around at several innkeepers and finally stopped in front of one with a calm and relaxing atmosphere .

What do you think of this place? It may be a bit expensive, but I think you can rest in peace .

At Calcedonia’s suggestion, Tatsumi took a closer look at the inn .

The store seemed to have a good atmosphere . There were also two men standing in front of the store who looked like clerks, but if you looked closely, you could see that they were wearing short swords at their waists . They must be both shopkeepers and bouncers .

Many of the customers coming in and out of the inn looked like well-dressed merchants . This inn must be one of the best in this town .

Some of the guests were wearing armor like Tatsumi, but the armor was only made of magical beasts . It seems that only the highest-ranking demon hunters use such a high-class inn .

Tatsumi nodded and said, “Alright, then, shall we stay here tonight?

The group nodded at Tatsumi’s words and stepped out of the parlor, leaving the reins to the clerk who approached them . They walked into the inn .

The inn that Tatsumi and his friends had chosen had a good atmosphere inside .

The first floor of the inn was a bar and restaurant, which seemed to be the standard in this world or this country .

Tatsumi and the others gathered on the first floor .

The inn seemed to be doing well, and there was only one empty table .

Tatsumi and his friends, who were lucky enough to occupy the table – which was for six people – immediately ordered drinks and food .

The tavern was filled with the smell of food and drinks, and music .

When Tatsumi heard the sound of Lalaina, he thought it was Taland, but it seemed to be another bard . Looking around the store again, he saw that a corner of the store had been turned into a stage, where the minstrels were playing cheerful music and the customers were singing along .

It’s a different atmosphere from the Elf’s Resting Pavilion, but Tatsumi doesn’t mind this kind of atmosphere .

While the four of us were chatting about our future plans and other random things amidst the cheerful music and singing, a waitress came up to us with the food and drinks we had ordered .

“Thank you for waiting . ”

She said in a cheerful voice, and proceeded to put the food and drinks on the table .

When she had finished, she seemed to be leaving, but for some reason she was looking at Tatsumi and the others with an apologetic look on her face .

“What’s wrong?”

“Well, I’m sorry, but may I ask you to share a table with another customer at ……?

The table that Tatsumi and his friends are at right now was originally designed for six people . That’s why there are two empty seats .

Tatsumi looked back at his friends, wondering what to do .

Tatsumi turned to his friends, “Isn’t that a good idea? I’m sure no one suspicious will be able to get into this place . ”

That’s right .

It was probably not a good idea to invite strangers to a table full of royalty and senior nobles, even if they were hiding their identities .

‘Thank you very much! I’ll go and get the other customers right away!”

The hostess smiled brightly and walked away .

After seeing her off, Jolt looked at Tatsumi and the others with eyes full of curiosity .

“Hey, hey, what kind of people do you think will come?” (Jolt)

“Well, you know… probably poor people or poor merchants” (Yerimao)

“I don’t know about that, Yerimão Sensei . I think the merchants who use this store are all rather wealthy merchants . If that’s the case, there must be a good number of servants . But there are only two seats available in this room . ” (Jolt)

“So Mr . Jolt . Do you think it is not a merchant?” (Calce)

“Yes, Calce . I don’t think he is a merchant at least . …… Tatsumi, what do you want to bet? (Jolt)

“I’m not going to . I don’t want to bet, because I agree with Jolt . It’s not a bet . ” (Tatsumi)

Jolt smirks and Tatsumi looks over his shoulders . The two of them are laughing out loud .

As Chalcedonia and Yerimao looked on smilingly, the lady waiter from earlier came back .

Behind her, there was a man . It was probably the man with whom they were going to sit with .

This way, please .

The hostess guided the man to the table, bowed and left .

“Thank you for accepting to sit with me . ”

The man gave a small bow .

When the man lifted his head, his eyes widened and he revealed his surprise .

“This is …… I didn’t expect you guys to be the ones to sit with me . ……”

“…… Morga……?

“……Morga-san……?

Yes .

It was the “Free Knight” Morganeich himself who appeared to Tatsumi and the others .
