I’m an Appraiser, But What the Heck is a [Divine Eye]? ~I Want to Live Freely as the World’s Best Beginner Class~ - Episode 271: The Hero, the Sword Saint, and the Appraiser 12

Episode 271: The Hero, the Sword Saint, and the Appraiser 12

Led by Gies-san, we arrived at what could only be described as a tavern, no matter what anyone said.

There were plenty of burly people inside. And some were even drinking while half-naked.

I started to worry if it was okay to bring the women here. But neither Sensei nor Irina-san seemed to be bothered at all.

“Are you two okay with this?”

“I’ve seen similar sights in Granzawall.”

“The soldiers are the same. Besides, I’m a regular here. So this is just an everyday sight for me.”

“………I see.”

Ugh, it really seems like Sensei is enjoying this world more than I am.

…Well, if I think that I still have some fun left to experience, I’m not lonely or anything!

“Hey! I brought some guests!”

“What’s up, Gies-san. …Well, if it isn’t Miss Irina? Who are these people?”

“They’re guests from outside, Master. They’re leaving tomorrow, so I thought I’d show them the best tavern in Osdis.”

“Oh! I see! Well, take a seat at any open table!”

“Open tables… but…” 

Looking around the tavern, there were no open seats to be found.

It was great that the place was lively, but all we could do was stand there since there were no seats left for us.

“Hmm? Ah, I see! Hey, can I clear a spot over here?”

“Hey, Gies! We were enjoying our drinks here!”

“It’s fine! This guy beat me! Don’t you want to hear about it?”

“Seriously!? Hey, Nii-chan! Is it true you beat Gies?”

Gies-san shouted to what seemed like other adventurers. And in no time, they gathered around.…….at Arata, of course.

The moment that happened, adventurers from other tables started to gather as well. And before long, many tables became free.

Almost immediately, the employees seemed to have predicted this. They quickly cleared away mugs and plates. And soon enough, a nice, clean table was ready for us.

“…Is this really okay?”

“Don’t worry about it! After all, these are Miss Irina’s guests!”

“I’m sorry, Arata-dono, but this is the best way.”

Oh, sorry, Arata. You ended up being the sacrificial lamb in this situation.

“Well then, I’d like to order some recommended dishes.”

“Oh? So, you mean you’ll pay for it?”

“Yeah, of course.”

“In that case, I can use some premium ingredients, right?”

“Please do.”

It seemed like Irina-san and the Master were exchanging sly smiles, but… I’ll pretend I didn’t notice.

Besides, who wouldn’t get excited hearing about premium ingredients?

I’m really looking forward to what kind of dishes will be served.

“By the way, this place sure is lively.”

“Yeah, it’s the best tavern in Osdis. Every adventurer who’s based here must have passed through here.”

“Has it always been like this?”

When I asked, Irina-san shook her head.

“No, it wasn’t. When King Gozef ruled, Osdis suffered under harsh taxation. We soldiers felt it too, but adventurers were especially unruly back then.”

“Here are your drinks!”

“Thank you.”

The staff brought beer for the adults and fruit water for the minors, including myself—but—

Gulp, gulp…

“…Um, Irina-san?”

“Ahhhhhhh! So good!”

“Well then, I’ll have some too.”

“Eh? You too, Sensei?”

…Ah, oh no… both of them downed their drinks in one go.

“Nice drinking skills, Haruka-sama!”

“Same to you, Irina-san!”

I hadn’t expected that these two would hit it off before the food even arrived……….. but it seems like they’re really going to become close friends.

“Here you go! …Wait, you’re already drinking?”

“Whoa! As expected, the Master’s cooking all looks delicious!”

“Some of these look perfect for snacks! Hehe, this is going to make the drinks even better.”

……….Well, if I get to eat delicious food, I guess it doesn’t really matter.

And so, while sipping my beer, I watched the two of them gradually get tipsy. I was enjoying the delicious food and the fun atmosphere.
