Reincarnated As An Ogre, I’m Going To Enjoy Life In This Other World! - Chapter 74

After I returned to the inn, Aris and Luna went to capture Gebhardt, who was apparently drunk and sleeping in his room.

Aris woke him up and explained the situation. At first, Gebhardt resisted, but when he saw Roin with his arms cut off, he seemed to give up and was captured without further resistance.

Then, the two of them were arrested for crimes related to treason, or something of that sort, and were reportedly executed.

Many of the people who were controlled were injured, but there were no casualties. It was probably thanks to Luna’s magic protecting them while we were being chased.

Aris and Luna seem to have explained the situation to everyone, and as a result, Luna’s popularity grew significantly. Luna mentioned that the number of people attending the morning service has increased.

Anyway, with that, the turmoil that had spread throughout the holy city came to an end.

Following Aris’s instructions, I went to the hidden room two days later. Their duties were over by then, so it was already nighttime.

As usual, I opened the floor door, descended the stairs to the basement, and walked deeper into the room. When I opened the door at the end, Aris and Luna were waiting for me.

“Oh, you made it.”

“Good evening, Kingil.”

“Good evening, Aris, Luna.”

Aris and Luna weren’t wearing their usual armor and robes; instead, they were dressed in casual clothes. Aris wore a T-shirt and pants, while Luna wore a blouse and skirt. Both of them had aprons on, and when I looked at the table, there was an extravagant spread of food.

“Wow, this is quite the feast!”

“It’s quite something, isn’t it? We used to cook here together all the time, but after Luna became a Saintess and I became the captain of the knights, we don’t do it as often anymore.”

“Aris-chan’s cooking is really delicious.”

“Oh, that sounds promising!”

When I sat down, the two of them, having taken off their aprons, also sat down. Luna poured wine for the three of us.

“Well then, let’s dig in. Kingil, don’t hold back and eat as much as you want.”

“Yes, let’s eat.”

“”Let’s eat!””

As I said it, they both repeated after me. I then took a spoonful of the soup in front of me.

“Delicious! This is so good!”

“I’m glad it suits your taste.”

“Eat as much as you like!”

I then enjoyed their home-cooked meal, and after a while, as the food started to dwindle, I took a break. It was then that Aris suddenly spoke.

“Kingil, I want to thank you again for your help. If it weren’t for you, it might not have been just the holy city, but the whole world in danger.”

“I also want to thank you. Thank you, Kingil.”

Saying this, both of them bowed their heads.

“Please stop, I haven’t done anything that impressive.”

“You’re humble, but being too humble isn’t always good. It can come off as sarcasm sometimes. Accept the gratitude graciously.”

“That’s right.”

After being told that by the two of them, I reconsidered.

“You’re right, well then… you’re welcome.”

At those words, Aris and Luna giggled, and I felt a little embarrassed.

“Well then, I’ll be heading back now. The meal was really delicious.”

As I tried to stand up, Aris and Luna quickly moved towards me and grabbed both of my arms.

“Huh? What…?”

“You haven’t been properly thanked yet.”

“Hehe, this is where the real thanks starts.”

Aris and Luna pulled on both my arms, and I was helpless as they led me to a room.
