REINCARNATION SIM GAME - Chapter 131 131 – A Tavern
As soon as they entered the building, Yua and Elise found what they were looking for among the few visitors. A male elf warrior with messy red hair and brown skin, an archer boy with blond hair, and a wizard with short blue hair. The three of them sat in the corner of the tavern with large wooden jugs on a round table.
“Follow me,” Yua whispered to Elise. “Let’s not talk to them right away.”
“Pets are not allowed. You can tie him outside. Make sure he doesn’t pee or poop, or you’ll pay a fine.” The orange-haired male waitress passed the two Raymund servants while carrying a tray of jugs.
Elise was forced to ask her pet to go outside. Mona followed her master’s orders, though with a sad face and head bowed.
Raymund noticed that the blue-haired wizard was watching the dog intently.
Yua and Elise then sat in the bar area, close to the three adventurers.
“So, ladies, what do you want to order?” The waiter who had told Elise earlier came to them with a smile. “Sorry for my rudeness earlier. I just want this place kept clean.”
“It’s okay. It’s the two of us who should be apologizing.” Yua smiled back, pointing at the table where the three elves were sitting. “I ordered whatever they had.”
“Errr… Anything, as long as it’s not alcohol.” Elise added..
“Milk?”
Elise answered with a stiff nod.
Meanwhile, those three elves were talking to each other.
“We will continue our mission.” The redhead tightly gripped the hilt of the giant sword that was almost as big as his body. “We must have a power greater than humans to fight them. And this is all we can do. As I have often said, governments are unreliable. They ask humanity for peace, so we were sent to this secluded island.”
“To be fair…” The archer toyed with her long blonde hair. “Actually, it was the elves who declared war first, right? They’re too arrogant and think humans are below them, Marko.”
The warrior named Marko snorted. “And now you dare to speak like that, Henrik? I don’t care what happened before or who did this first, the humans have done wrong to us, and they must be exterminated!”
“After a long struggle like this, I thought, is it all worth it?” Henrik sipped his drink. “Perhaps, it is our destiny to live here. Everything we need here is sufficient.”
Marko tugged at Henrik’s collar. “We swore to carry out this mission to the end. Have you forgotten? This is also what your parents wished for, right?”
The blonde-haired archer pushed his friend’s hand away. “Okay, I’ll still follow you, but I’ll leave if things get any worse. I’m tired.”
“What did you say?” Veins started to protrude on Henrik’s neck.
“How many of our comrades have died in this mission? We used to be eight, and we died one by one. Lastly, Kimi left us.” Henrik replied in a fierce tone.
Elise and Yua exchanged glances when Kimi’s name was mentioned.
Marko’s teeth gritted. He got up and was about to hit Henrik. However, the blue-haired wizard raised her magic staff, which emitted something like transparent yellow tendrils. That thing then caught Marko’s hand.
“Enough!” The woman snapped, adjusting the position of her glasses. “Don’t fight!”
“If you guys want to fight, do it outside.” The waiter gave a warning. “Don’t disturb other visitors.”
Marko sat back down, crossed his arms over his chest, and looked the other way.
“We have to think of a solution.” The blue-haired wizard sighed. “There’s no way we can continue this mission with just the three of us.”
“Who’s the madman willing to come with us to fight the salamander and take its claws, Vilja?” Henrik played with his hair again.
“Did you say a salamander!?” Yua stood up so suddenly that Elise choked on the milk she was drinking. The female warrior’s mouth became filled with white liquid.
Carrying her jug, Yua joined the adventurers. After wiping her face with a rag, Elise briefly froze but finally followed the kunoichi.
Henrik glanced at the cleavage of Yua and whistled, then raised his hands when he received a fierce glare from Vilja.
“Hmmm… Want me to join your party?” The kunoichi pressed her index finger to her mouth, letting out a soft sigh.
Raymund cleared his own throat.
“What do you want, Miss?” Vilja asked in a wary tone.
“So, I’m really interested in your conversation.” Yua looked at the three elves with amazement. “I want to fight salamanders for a long time. However, I never had the chance to do so.”
The blue-haired wizard named Vilja narrowed her eyes. “How did you get past my soundproof magic?”
“Ah, looks like Kimi is helping you from a hidden place.” Raymund chimed in. “Maybe she is the one that makes you two able to hear their conversation.”
Yua took a sip of her drink, “What do you think? You should already know how I do it, right?”
Vilja had opened her mouth to respond, but Marko hastily interrupted with a smile.
“If you can pass Vilja’s soundproof magic barrier, then you are someone of great ability.” The red-haired elf said. “We really welcome you to join us. Isn’t that right, Henrik, Vilja?”
“As usual.” Henrik shrugged. “I will follow whatever decision you guys make.”
“No.” Vilja refused, readjusting her glasses. “Sorry, Miss. You are too suspicious.”
“Well, then.” The kunoichi wore a wide smile. “We’ll be waiting at this place again tomorrow morning. I hope you guys have a good talk about my offer.”
Elise was choked on milk for the second time because Yua got up too quickly.
“Hey, wait, Miss! We can talk about this now!” Marko tried to stop her, but Yua walked away anyway.
“Ah, if you have time, you can check on my friend’s dog,” Yua added.
Vilja stood in Marko’s way, shaking her head.
“I understand why you are asking me to leave them, sir. They are desperate and will have deep discussions amongst themselves. Maybe it will be more effective than me persuading them. They will most likely accept Elise and me.” The kunoichi whispered to her master. “But, why did you ask them to check on Elise’s dog?”n0𝒱𝑒𝓵𝓊𝚜𝒷.𝑐0𝐌
“Maybe one of them can see Mona’s potential,” Raymund responded. “That would be a plus, wouldn’t it? They will have more confidence in you and Elise.”
Meanwhile, at her master’s orders, Elise paid for her and Yua’s drinks, as well as everything the three adventurers ordered. That’s to make a good impression on them.
