Chapter 93

The were-leopard sat at the counter .


The seats on both of her sides were vacant .

I heard the response of the shop owner as she called .


It feels like she’s quite familiar with the other customers .


For the time being, I turned towards the Ashinto .


They were satisfactory drinking in the inner corner of the tavern .


There’s no sign that they were really conscious about the were-leopard .


Their behaviour were indeed detestable but…


I feel like that were-leopard was already familiar with them .


I think even the other customers were also the same .


This appears to be a response to seeing a famous celebrity who have always been visiting this establishment .


However, no one talks with her .


[I will inquire myself whether this story about the Witch of Taboos we’ve talked about earlier were real . ]


I said towards the men sitting at the same table .


The man laughed and removed his hand from my shoulder .


[The courage of young people really are great . Well then, we’ll be leaving soon . I’ve drank more than usual, so I got drunk . I want to get some fresh air… urmmff…]


The two of them began leaving their seats .


Staggering, they went out of the tavern .


I promptly went back to where Seras sat .


After listening to their story, I handed a silver coin towards the both of them .


[Then, let’s go . ]


[If something were to happen, I’ll handle it immediately . ]


[I don’t really intend to cause any trouble, though I’ll rely on you when it comes to that . ]


I would like to avoid using my skills in this place if it’s possible .


If such a situation were to happen, I would only rely on Seras’ combat ability .


[I’m counting on you . ]


With a tense expression on her face, Seras places her hand over chest .


[Leave it to me . ]


I started walking to the counter seats .


And to the seat next to the were-leopard, I sat .


Requested another glass of herbal water .


Placing one silver coin in front of the were-leopard, I spoke .

[Will you allow me to treat you to something?]


Silently, the were-leopard turned towards me .


After a moment of silence…


[What do you want?]


She asked .


It seems that she could properly speak the human language .


Phew…


This means conversation with her is possible .


The were-leopard’s voice is vigorous .


On the other hand, you could also feel calmness in it .


Her voice is also not so rough .


It was clear, free-flowing voice .


[I heard some rumours about you, so I thought of meeting you at least once . You can call me Hati . A mercenary . ]


[I’m Eve Speed . ]


After naming herself, Eve stared at me for a while .


[Is this your first time seeing a were-leopard?]


[Yes . ]


[And yet, you hardly showed any curious reactions . ]


I can’t make any careless reply .


I don’t know yet what could trigger her wrong buttons .


With a smile on my face, I said .


[I’ve already seen a lot of things on my travels . It may be rude, but I won’t be surprised seeing a were-leopard . ]


I’m talking about that two-headed humanoid panther monster I’ve met at the Disposal Ruins .


I’ve also heard some things about synthetic beasts from other people .


If I were to compare it to those monsters, I could hardly be surprised with her existence .


Chompp~!


Eve is heartily eating her meat in bone dish .


After chomping on it, she began licking away the leftover oil in her hand .


At that time, her cat-like eyes turned towards me .


[That’s a hearty way of eating . ]


[Fumu, don’t you hate looking at someone uncivilized like me?]


She’s trying to measure up something .


She suddenly shown off such a manner of eating .


It seems that she’s trying to see my reaction .


[I can’t really say I’m a refined person myself . Besides, it’s best to eat deliciously rather than minding how you eat . Ah— Speaking of which, you’re a Blood Champion—]


[State your business . ]


[………………]


[You didn’t meet me because I’m a Blood Champion . Am I mistaken?]


An embarrassed smile appeared on my face .


[I- I got caught huh… I guess that’s to be expected…]


Well, I had an atmosphere that says I really have a purpose .


It’s good that she easily noticed it .


[So, what’s your business?]


Fumu .


So, she’ll hear me out huh…


Timidly, I listened to her .


[It was said that you know the whereabouts of the Witch of Taboos…]


[That witch is in Golden Demon Zone . Anyone already knows about this rumor . ]


[I have heard that you knew exactly where “her whereabouts” in that Demon Zone…]


[Kuku…]


A muffled laugh came out from Eve’s mouth .


[So, you’re one of those people who believed in the rumors you heard from one person . ]


[Are you saying that the rumors I’ve heard about were fake?]


[Yeah . It was indeed the truth that I’ve met a witch when I went inside the Golden Demon Zone . However, I’ve never met the Witch of Taboos . ]


[What about that story where you only said her whereabouts to your fellow Blood Champions?]


[…I’ve been wandering about in the Demon Zone for two weeks at that time . Just as I thought that I would die, I was saved by the Witch of Taboos’ magic— I remember saying this kind of joke towards the other Blood Champions a few days ago . ]


[I see, so that joke began changing as it was transmitted from one person to another… In short, you don’t know the whereabouts of the Witch of Taboos?]


[I’m sorry, but that’s right . ]


My shoulders dropped .


[Is that so…]


[I’m sorry that I can’t meet your expectations . But, that’s the truth . ]


Eve went back to eating her meat .


While wiping her hands, she asked me .


[Why have you asked about the Witch of Taboos?]


[I guess it’s more of about my research? It’s my dream to be a scholar in the future after all . ]


I take out some of the utensils I bought earlier in my bag .


Showing them towards her .


These are utensils that every aspiring scholars must have .


Well, that’s just my image of them .


[I’m thinking of hiring a mercenary here in Monroy so that I could meet the Witch in the Demon Zone . I may also find some unknown plants that I—]


[You should stop now . ]


Eve vigorously interrupted .


[That place isn’t some place that people could just step into and easily survive . Even me, the strongest warrior of Urza’s Blood Colosseum, can’t survive for almost half a month . I know that this would be rude, but I don’t think you could survive in that place even for 3 days . ]


Looking downwards, I smiled .


There were feelings of gratitude for her mixed with it .


[It seems that Eve-san was worried about me . Thank you very much . ]


Eve showed some unexpected reaction on her face .


Even though she had the face of a leopard, I could properly see some facial expressions on it .


[Fumu . ]


Astonished, Eve exhales out a sigh .


[You’re a softhearted person huh…]


Embarrassed, I scratched my head a bit .


[I was often told that by others . ]


I certainly was told something like that .


Well, it’s back when I was still living with my Uncle’s family .


[Looking at you, you’re still quite young . You should cherish your life more . ]


Eve picks up the silver coin that I placed in front of her .


She then places it in front of me .


[Though I say that… I don’t think I have that much of a persuasiveness as a Blood Champion, people who were known to be crude with their own life . ]


Leaving those words, Eve left the tavern .


With the silver coin back into my pocket, I also left my seat .


I turned towards the door of the tavern where Eve disappeared .


[………… . . ]


They resemble a bit .


I called out to “her” who was standing behind me .


[Misra . ]


[Yes . ]


During the whole conversation with Eve, Seras had been leaning against a pillar near the counter seat .


[Let’s go . ]


[Yes . ]


We promptly left the tavern .


After walking for a bit, we stopped .


[That conversation with Eve Speed just now, how is it?]


Presently, I need to know something first .


Whether she’s lying or not .


That was obviously the first thing I need to know .


That’s right—


[She lied . ]


“Did she really know the whereabouts of the Witch of Taboos?”


Eve’s answered that “she didn’t know” .


Seras Ashrain knows if someone lies .


As I had instructed, Seras leaned on a nearby pillar to listen to our conversation .


It’s so that she could judge the authenticity of her words .


[By denying this, she has shown evidence for us instead . ]


That means—-


[Eve Speed knows the whereabouts of the Witch of Taboos . ]
