The next day, Rei and I t at a caf near our house.
I just knew yesterday, but it seems the place Rei lives was actually close to my ho.
Leaving that aside, when I entered the caf that we chose as our eting place, Rei was already there.
"Ah, Rin, over here."
"My bad, did I make you wait?"
"No, I just arrived too."
I see, so this was the correct answer. I rembered the last ti I had a eting with Yui while being impressed like that.
"Sorry for contacting you all of a sudden. Were you busy?"
"No, don't worry about it. Besides, I just thought that I wanted to et Rei too."
"-?! I-Is that so. Then, I'm glad."
"?"
Was she having a fever? Because her cheeks were slightly rosy. Besides that reason, I could only think she was being affected with the handso aura that overflowed from .
Yes, yes. I know its not like that so please stop looking at with such cold eyes.
When I was performing that kind of one-man show in my mind, Rei slowly said.
"Without delay, first of all, please take this."
"Hmm? What is it"
Rei handed an envelope which felt quite thick as I held it. Was this perhaps
"Rei, don't tell this is"
"Yes, it's money. About 500.000 yen for the ti being"
"500,000. Wait, wait, wait. Why are you suddenly handing this kind of thing to ?! It's scary?!"
I hastily placed the envelope in front of Rei. But, she slides it back to .
"Please let explain first. That ti, Rin gave a high-quality HP recovery pill. I believe one of those cost at least 1 million yen. Thus, I'm just returning the money for right now. But I only have this much right now, I'll return the rest soon."
After hearing her explanation, I finally understood what she ant by giving this money. However, Im still not convinced.
"No, as expected I can't take this. Because I'm causing a lot of trouble to Rei too."
"Trouble? What do you an?"
Then, while looking at the surroundings, I whispered to Rei so it won't be heard by other custors.
"It's about how you went along with my lies. Since we told them Kazami and the others were the ones who defeated the Orc General, people still have a good opinion towards them. But on the contrary, the opinion of people toward Rei beca harsh, right?"
However, Rei shakes her head.
"Rin doesn't have to worry about it. Because it was my fault I couldnt stop Kazami and even followed them to enter the boss room after all. In addition, I also received sothing from Rin besides saving my life too."
"From ? To Rei?"
Was there sothing? As I tilted my head in puzzlent, Rei continued saying.
"It's the last boss subjugation reward. Although I didn't receive any experience as I didn't deal any damage to the Orc General, I did receive the last boss subjugation reward. I felt guilty to have my level raised by 150 by just being there without doing anything."
"I see, so it was like that. Concerning the result, it indeed turned out to be an act of parasitism, but I don't really care about that, you know? It's that kind of situation after all, and it doesn't an I obtained fewer rewards because of that."
"I thought Rin would say sothing like that, but I will not rest assured if you didn't take it. I even think it was not enough just to return the money."
Hmmm, seems like Rei was resolute about this. Still, I won't be relieved even if I received Rei's money in this situationthat's right!
"Then, can I just ask you to pay the bill today? Because it seems I didn't bring my wallet."
"Your wallet is on the table, though."
"Ah, shit!"
I hurriedly put my wallet back in my pocket. And Rei laughed a little when she saw that.
"Just kidding. Of course, I don't mind. Is there anything else?"
"Let's see Then, I'll be happy if you continue to get along with from now on. This is not sothing to be proud of but I have rely a few friends."
"that is sothing that makes very happy too."
Etto, you are happy because you wanted to get along with , right? It's not because you are happy I only have a few friends, right?
In front of who had such a question in mind, Rei's expression darkened all of a sudden.
"But, I don't think this is enough to make it up to you. I think it won't be good if it's sothing that made happy"
"There is no need to make it up for it, though."
"Eh?"
To Rei who looked at with a puzzled expression, I said.
"In the end, Rei and I were able to survive. Even if there were so problems in the process, I think this is sothing that you should be happy with. That's why I don't think you need to feel guilty about it."
"I see So, it was fine"
As she seed convinced by what I said, I handed the envelope back to Rei.
"Therefore, as expected, I will return this money. Because its unhonorable to take all the money given by a girl younger than . But if you are still insisting even after hearing that, then bring it again when you have more leeway for your daily life."
" Understood. If Rin says so, then I'll do that. However, I will do my best to return it soon."
"Aa, I'll be waiting."
Like that, our business was done for the ti being, and we just continued to enjoy a casual conversation. Approximately 30 minutes later, we decided to end our eting today.
When we're about to part, Rei said with a slightly nervous look on her face.
"Nee, Rin. If Rin was fine with it, soday I'd like to go to the dungeon again together. This ti in a proper way."
"Certainly, it seems fun too."
Although it's not going to be a proper capture since there was a considerable difference in level between Rei and , I think it's not bad.
With that kind of topic as the last conversation, we separated.
"See you again, Rei."
"Un. See you, Rin."
Rei and I turned our backs to each other and walked the opposite way. I think it would be a while before our road crossed again.
Now, I will begin capturing the dungeon again a few days later. So, let's do our best!
