1720 War and Peace, Part 258 - Sadness

"Grandpa, are you there?

"... what"

Lexus was visiting the Masked Swordsman - the Betts Inn. Lexus got free because he lost, and I thought I'd look for Betts and do a little public speaking.

Betts, on the other hand, was quietly spiritual unity in the room, sitting on the bed, quietly meditating. Normally it's unusual for him to have such a faceless assistant father as to sip a light mouth and whisper while drinking and even touch Louis' ass.

Lexus left the liquor bottle he had in the hallway and entered the room.

"Why aren't you drunk?"

"Seriously, I'm here to win. No booze."

"Oh, I thought I could swallow with my grandfather and Sashi because of that."

"It would be cheap anyway."

Betts laughed all the time, jumping while sitting on the spot, spinning through the air, taking his jacket and standing at the entrance. He looked like he poked his hand at the desk on the way, but if there was no mistake in Lexus' eyes, he had postural control with two fingers. As usual, Lexus was frightened that it was a monster that didn't make him feel old.

"You two bastards were caged in your room. You can't even make a pathetic rumor. I'll buy you dinner. Follow me."

"Aye."

Betts and Lexus took him straight out of the inn. The time is around midnight, and the vicinity of the Summary Inn near Arnelia is busy with shops opening. The dining room inside Arnelia is also open, so it is currently idle inside Arnelia.

When they sat down at one of the stores, they appropriately ordered the food. Before Lexus there is a line of meat, but before Betts there is a line of fish, vegetables and fruits.

"Grandpa, do you eat vegetables?

"At this age, you also care about what you eat. You can eat whatever you want and keep your body up until, well, 40."

"I thought you only consumed meat and booze."

"You fools eat so much meat, you look disgusted when you ask for something different."

Betts gets his hands on cooking when he laughs. The momentum is just as young as Lexus. When the two flattened their rice together, they looked back behind Lexus.

"... have you gone?

"Oh, you seem to have gone. Damn, Arnelia told Valsas not to trust me because there's such a monster wandering around."

Behind Lexus, there was a pair about three seats open. One is a shallow black tall man with skin, the other is a man with a large black robe put together. The appearance was conspicuous, but the signs were rare, and when he properly enjoyed the food, he left. The shallow-black man with the skin also looked like he was laughing in a superior mood, but the big man always looked faceless. In the midst of the hustle and noise, I couldn't even hear the conversation.

Both Lexus and Betts were aware that those two were not the only ones, so they left the dish unconscious. Because if we were to fight, we only knew we weren't very manageable opponents.

When Lexus and Betts asked for more food, Lexus even asked for booze and started stirring it up.

"Pu Ha! I can finally taste the food! Who were those guys?"

"An ancient warcraft, or phantom beast, would have been disillusioned. Jabba, you and Rock were calling each other. Besides, you don't have to take part in the siege of Titania."

"I've never had an ancient demon before. Do you have a grandfather?

"Well, as much as I've encountered. But I'm not a human opponent. Compared to them, black magicians look so cute."

"Then why doesn't Arnelia use them to exterminate the black magician?

The question of Lexus is the most, but I don't think humans can order ancient warcraft in the first place. Even if Arnelia had someone other than humans. They ancient warcraft will be here at their will. I don't know what reason there is, but Betts didn't want to go too deep.

"Anyway, we're not going too deep into Arnelia, are we? Valsas seems to want to trade, but I disagreed."

"Heh? But we had a report for Arnelia. The Unified Martial Arts Games are one of them."

"If it's work, I can't help it, but don't get involved more than you need to. Especially - um, it's kind of been extra weird here lately, this city."

Betts uttered an unspoken sense of impatience and anxiety. Betts wouldn't say anything like that in the regiment, considering his position, but I thought Lexus would notice something.

But Lexus didn't know anything about it, either, so he just replied.

"Huh. Weird, hey"

Just listen to my grandfather's advice.

"Well, the deputy commander seems sharper than me. So, on the contrary, who can you trust?

"... Jaeger, I guess"

Betts shrugged pompously. I saw the battle of Alphilis, the captain of the regiment, but she is a man who chooses no means for victory. But on the other hand, he didn't seem to feed his opponent on attacks that would make him irreversible. In fact, the Temple Knight boy and others were just thrown outside.

It's a completely different kind of fight than Valsas trying to break everything from the front, but it also made me feel somewhere similar. And there was falsehood in the way we fought, but it was felt that there was no falsehood in that personality.

"If anything happens to Blackhawk, rely on Jaeger. That would be the most certain thing."

"Come on, there's no way we or Valsas have anything."

"We're always out on the battlefield, so I'm talking about how it's not weird if something happens one day. Well, in case, in case."

"Uh, no. I wonder if the deputy commander's going to hit it about once every 10 times."

Lexus stirred up booze, as if he wanted to forget an unpleasant prophecy.
