"Roar."

"That reaction would be terrible, lemme"

Phoenix came just after the day's work was over and he returned to the inn.

He's hiding his face in the hood of a robe, but standing in front of the door is [Flaming Brave] Phoenix the man.

... Inn, I didn't tell you.

Speaking of which, they put him in a dorm prepared by the Demon King's Army because he became a regular official.

It seems to be a different building for each race, but I will be entering the Devil's Dorm.

Looks like Mira was plotting to get into a vampire dorm, but something happened and she ended up failing.

Lately I was like, "What's the difference between a tentacle and a horn...... am I not a demon?" He said bumps but left them at ease.

More than that, he's a sudden visitor now.

"No, you. You didn't tell me, but your friends found you."

Phoenix imagined it, it made a subtle face.

"... well, maybe a little scared"

"Right."

"But so are you. If you've got a job, you can tell me."

Did you ask Mr. Aerial? He said the same inn or something.

Phoenix seems a little grumpy.

"How did you find me before that?"

I guess the only reason the tone gets a little rough on Phoenix is because he's still an old friend.

"I talked to Mr. Aerial and found out he works in this city, so I decided to look for him. You wouldn't take luxury lodging, and you'd avoid unclean lodging even if you wanted to save money through a party, wouldn't you? That's why I looked from one end for an inn that was affordable and not so far from the tavern I met with Mr. Aerial to see how magical it was."

"Stalker or something?

Magic detection is an extremely delicate technique.

Like this, magic reactions are like palms.

When you concentrate, you see the palms of the people around you.

When you ask me if I can identify an individual with this, I think I know the difficulty.

Except for people with great magic. Such a human being has a painting on his hand, or the hand itself is so big, there is a difference between one eye and another.

In my case, I keep it below the crowd, so there's no way I can find it normally.

At a friend level from a young age, well, if you're close, you'll know you are.

Old stories and all that talk about seeing through and exorcising demons who turned into familiars, but maybe that was magic detection and found out it was someone else.

Well, so am I. I can tell about my people. It's about remembering if we spend years together.

"... I needed to talk to you"

"I guess."

I almost closed the door when I got this far and they said, "I just wanted to see your face" or something.

"Besides, if you're a magic detector, you're better at lemme. I didn't make a big deal out of it."

"No, we're not talking about technology, we're talking about behavior."

"If it were the other way around, you'd be worried."

In this case, it would be better to disagree with each [position (job)].

[Black Demon Instructor] I hear Phoenix has left and got a job somewhere. But I don't see my face, I don't hear from you. I used to be familiar with it and I always had a party.

... Well, can't you care less?

"Okay, I'm sorry. I kind of had a hard time seeing each other."

It's not like we don't have anything to talk about.

As I surrendered, Phoenix looked sorry for some reason.

"No, it's me..."

....

"Well, no, let's go swallow. You can talk there."

"... ah, ah. Are you sure?

"Hmm? That's nothing... No, we should have asked. Tomorrow's the offense, so should we stop drinking?

"That's okay. Hangover is not brought into the magic body (avatar), and [the brave] is not crushed by booze in the first place"

Overall, it's out of standard, isn't it?

Looks like this. He eats quite a bit of rice, too. Making a lot of magic consumes energy, so it means making up for it, and that's the same for me.

But in the case of [the brave], the basal metabolism is also high, maybe.

"Still, you never swallowed it the day before, sure"

"One or two drinks would be fine. I don't care if it's water or milk if you care."

Yeah, the goal is to talk, so booze isn't mandatory.

"That's fine. I don't feel like drinking, either."

I also wear the hood of my jacket and leave the inn alone.

The so suspicious pair was completed, but I always used passing magic around it, so passers-by wouldn't even see me with a strange gaze.

I decided to go to a tavern near where I know it. Good food, fast and cheap. Wow.

"Did you sprinkle a reporter or something?

"Oh, because I jumped on top of the building on the way and ran to roof telling"

You can't go after him.

"Are you better than that?

"What? You've been acting weird."

"No... the... thought you'd be angry"

Hard to say, blushing phoenix.

"What? Is that stalking? You think it's creepy, don't worry."

I'm used to personalized people and presence because of my workplace, so it wasn't surprising.

I told him to tease me, but the look on Phoenix's face doesn't clear.

"No... it's about the party"

Huh?

Ah... uh, I see. Is that what's breaking my heart? You didn't kick yourself out, you were rather trying to hold me back, but you still feel guilty about me falling out?

Sounds like him indeed.

"You're an idiot. If you're angry to that extent, you're angry when you know you're a [brave man]."

Ten years old. When [position (job)] was found in the temple, it wasn't a shock.

I didn't hold a hundred percent blessing when I found out Phoenix was [brave].

Still, I could say, "Good for you," or, "Isn't that amazing," because I knew it.

He was a brilliant man who could think things through deeply, a kind man who had no vengeance for bullies, and a fondness for worrying more about my injuries than he did when I got hurt in a fight with a bully.

So I'm convinced.

Oh, well. This guy. Well, I have to admit it.

"... well, you do. I'm sorry, Lemme, but imitate what you suspect."

He didn't do anything wrong, but there's no way I'm angry.

"Yes, sir. Then it's your luxury. I was payday ago."

With that said, Phoenix finally laughed.

"Oh, okay."

I went to the tavern. Get in.

There was a bunch of noise, but, well, it's a tavern, and it's not enough to complain.

I sat side by side in an empty counter seat.

Ask for food appropriately and order water too.

"Speaking of which, lemme. You said you had a girlfriend?

"... Mr. Aerial, do something extra"

Well, I didn't stop talking, and I was chasing him with my hand in hand to respond to him. It would be harder to think of it as something people don't want to know.

"You smell like water, let me say hello next time"

The Phoenix guy looks kind of happy.

"First of all, I'm not your lover"

"... dishonesty is not a good idea. He was sinking his face in front of the public."

Mr. Aerial? Is that it? My junior, who didn't have many friends and was worried about me, finally even my lover... with such joy that he stuck around and told people?

"Friends, now"

Accompanying friend, to be exact. Mira says so.

Oh, my God. This is so embarrassing.

"Heh heh, well. But I'm really glad."

"Shut up. [Black Demon Instructor] is a non-hot [Title (Job)]. What's more important than that?

"When did we meet?

"Listen to people."

Beating her weakly as she pressed her shoulder, Phoenix laughed strangely.

"No, I'm sorry. Mr. Aerial said you were a wonderful woman. Mind you."

"I'll keep asking you about the woman you've been dating."

"Let's get down to business"

"Do it."

You don't want to talk about it, you will.

I think this kind of thing is really character. Some people can't help but want to talk to people, others want to keep quiet.

No, Mira's not really my girlfriend.

"So now it's time to say it? What are you talking about?

Take a sip of the water that was transported first, then Phoenix opens his mouth.

The other day, I wanted to check something out.

It must be about missing the party. I can't think of anything else.

"Why did you decide to pull it out on your own?
