Isekai ni Kita Boku wa Kiyoubinbode Subaya-sa Tayorina Tabi o Suru Chapter 54

I left the room after the discussion with Bordow and saw that Fiona was waiting outside . She seed a little restless, which was quite the departure from her usually cheerful disposition . She was sitting in a chair with an uneasy expression, but quickly got up when she noticed us .

Asagi, Daniela!

Hey, its been a while .

It really has! We were both so busy, and we had no ti to et Wait, nevermind that . Is it true that you killed a wyvern? Are you hurt?

She began to pat down as if looking for injuries . I pointed to my right thigh and she tapped it lightly . I nodded to show that there was no pain, and she finally moved away with relief .

Well, this was just from a broken blade catching in the leg . I wasnt hit all that much from the wyvern .

Amazing It is like you ca out unscathed .

Thats a bit of an exaggeration .

That made sound like so kind of superhero . I walked with Daniela and Fiona and explained the story again . I was out camping and encountered a wyvern . It wasnt the longest story, and I finished when we reached the entrance .

Entrance Rex and several other adventurers were gathered near the counter . They looked familiar . They were his other party mbers . Looking at them again, I got the impression that they were very high level . A strong party . And yet, once Danny, their shield-bearer had gone down, the party had crumbled The field of battle could be very unpredictable . You really should have a healer with you . Seriously .

Asagi!

Rex called over . I waved at him with one hand and the other mbers all waved back .

Ah, I just wanted to thank you . You really helped us back there .

Said the greatsword-wielder who had been the one to carry Danny during their escape . I accepted his offered hand and shook it .

Im glad to see you are well . How is your shield-bearer doing?

Theres no need to worry about him . We pooled our money together to put him up in the best hospital in the city . Hes resting nice and easy now, but hell be out before you know it .

Thats good . Do they accept visitors? I would like to go and see him .

Aye, I hoped you would . He said he wanted to thank you . Hell surely be happy if you visited .

It was great that he was doing well . I will have to go check up on him later .

After that, I talked with the archer and the other swordsman as well . They both wanted to thank , which was a little embarra.s.sing . It was just not sothing that I was used to But I didnt hate it either .

After a while, the subject of the reward was brought up .

The total sum of the reward cos out as one hundred and forty gold pieces and a few silvers . This will be shared between us all . And there is no room for argunt on this matter .

Rex declared . I had no complaints, and so I nodded .

Asagi, here is your share . Please count it .

He says as he hands a leather pouch . It seed a little heavy to and I was surprised when I opened it . This didnt seem right . It was clearly almost half of it .

Hey, this

I split it . No argunts .

He says, and they all laugh . It seed that they were all in agreent about this . I suppose that for them, words were not enough to express their grat.i.tude . And so I humbly gave in and put the pouch in my bag .

Alright, I get it . Thanks .

Aye, this is how it should be!

Rex wraps an arm around my shoulder and laughs happily . Ah, yes . I felt like a real adventurer now . It was sothing I had longed for ever since coming to this world . There were so who laughed and called Black Rabbit, but there were great adventurers like Gardo and Ness as well . Adventurers who embodied real freedom . I wondered if I would be able to be like them one day .

Well, were off to the bar now . What about you two?

HmmI was thinking about going to an armor shop after visiting Danny . What about you, Daniela?

I asked her .

I do enjoy a bar . However, we should visit this Danny first .

Oh well, we were supposed to go to the armor shop tomorrow anyway . Also, there was sothing that I had noticed recently, which is that Daniela was usually hungry whenever she appeared restless . It was especially obvious when she beca anxious and her eyes constantly shifted . Which seed to happen a lot . What an unfortunate beauty .

And so we parted ways with Rex and headed for the hospital that Danny was staying at .

At first, Danny had been taken to the central guardhouse infirmary, as it was an ergency . He had been given ergency treatnt there before being transferred to the biggest hospital in Spiris . Apparently, the high-pressure breath that had destroyed his armor left a nasty wound . Danny showed us the wound that had required the attention of a group of the finest physicians to heal . There was a giant burn-like scar that covered most of his stomach . It was incredible that he had survived this

It is thanks to you and the others that I am alive . That I am here right now . I cannot thank you enough .

Youve already thanked enough . You better cover yourself before you catch a cold .

That didnt stop him from thanking repeatedly after that, but I was happy to have been able to see what kind of person he was . It would have made a little sad if the man I had helped was a jerk . We said goodbye to him and left the hospital .

As we were walking towards the bar where Rex and the others were waiting, Daniela began to talk .

Asagi, you must try to be less reckless .

Asagi, you must try to be less reckless .

I know that I should have considered you more Ill be careful in the future .

We are a party . I will be alone once again if you die . Listening to Bordow and seeing Dannys wound today has made think . What would I do if you were no longer here?

She stared at the ground as she talked . It was true, one misstep could have ant my death . There had been a part of that had hesitated about jumping into that danger . But hearing Rexs voice had changed all of that . It wasnt worth a life . But it was my skill that I had been weighing on the balance . I hadnt considered that my own life was there as well . Perhaps there was an arrogance in at the mont, telling that I could beat . That was what Daniela was talking about . The proof was that I had tried to hide the skill from Bordow .

If you insist on throwing your own life away to help others, I might have to break those legs to stop you . Understand this . You are important .

Daniela

It almost felt like a confession of sorts, but Danielas expression was the peak of seriousness . Likely, her ears were only reddening because she had imagined sothing horrible .

I understand . Ill think more before acting from now on . After all, apparently this body isnt really mine alone anymore?

I, I did not an it like that!

Daniela beca a little frantic as she pulled out her trusty mask from a pocket . That was too bad . The tips of her ears had beco so red .

We were walking side by side . This was a path that we had once walked alone on . But we were walking together now . Having a trustworthy friend by your side was sothing that could not be compared to that night when I was alone . I thought of what I could do to this dependable and dear friend who supported as we walked to the bar .
