My 【Repair】Skill Became an Almighty Cheat Skill, So I Thought I'd Open Up a Weapon Shop

So, me, Garnett, and Leila, three of them turned back to the Hollow Bottom Branch after "Demon King's Castle Realm" one foot away.

Florence will continue to command the scene as branch manager, and Nagi has remained underground since he was one of the exploring members from the beginning.

Except that Layla was strangely blurred for some reason, she was able to finish things without any further change or loss.

Anyway, I wanted to rendezvous with Erica, who had left it at the branch, and when I headed to the branch of the Spring Young Leaf Pavilion, I also ran into unexpected people in that dining room space.

"Oh, Luke, isn't that you?"

"I knew... I was coming, I knew it..."

At a table near the entrance, Alexia and Noir are eating breakfast and meals.

They both said their hair looked oddly glossy, or slightly damp.

In the meantime, tell Garnett and Layla to keep their seats at the right table, and I've decided to talk to these two.

"Did you even take a bath from the morning?

"I let you be the first to do this because the bathroom has been remodeled. It's the privilege of those who work in the field."

Proudly chested Alexia.

In the seat across the street, Noir was relaxed and indulgent, sipping a warm herbal tea.

"By the way, Mr. Luke. It sounds like there's some noise in the branch just now, is something wrong? Luke, you're kind of sandy, too."

"You haven't heard anything yet"

"I've been working on a remodel. I took a bath as soon as I was done, 'cause I just went up a while ago."

Noir also nods small and agrees.

Because of the dark and long hair, the luster of the hot water looks more prominent than Alexia.

I was a little worried about whether I should explain the fall accident to the two of them, but because of this, I reconsidered that I was finishing one job and taking a break but didn't want to give them any extra worry, and I decided to put that story behind me.

Things are already getting cleaned up, and there won't be much difference between telling them now or later.

"Well, kind of. More than that, do you have any idea where Erica is? Maybe he's here, too."

"Erica, then... over there, to..."

"I didn't call you. I was with a kid I didn't know, and I was wondering if I'd be sorry to interrupt."

Noir and Alexia turned their gaze at the corner table furthest from the entrance to the dining room space, where Erica and Lisa did sit opposite each other.

"Thanks. I'm just gonna go."

After the table next to the entrance, move to Erica and Lisa.

Erica smiled and waved as she noticed I was approaching her.

"Mr. Luke, over here!

They recommended the chair next door, so I'll just sit back there.

Lisa was sitting across from Erica and, as usual, she couldn't feel the hegemony from her expression, but there was a solid line of empty cake dishes and teacups at the table.

"Wallet, I'll give it back. Damn it, I'm surprised. When I opened it, it even contained small gold coins instead of silver coins. Don't throw it at me like this."

"Bad, bad. I was in a hurry earlier. How was the cake?

"Well, of course, it was delicious, wasn't it? It's the prized menu for the Spring Young Leaf Pavilion. Lisa looked delicious."

I'll take a coin-packed sachet from Erica and listen to it while we're gone.

I personally care, but given the circumstances on Florence's side, it would be best for me to hear it out here now.

Lisa is not the type of kid who innocently talks to Florence about how she dealt with Erica.

It doesn't mean that the parent-child relationship is broken or anything like that, it's simply about that age and character.

But if you try to be a mother, it's something that worries me how my difficult daughter dealt with other people for the first time.

Me and Florence will be talking again later in the position of "Arms Store Manager" and "Adventurer Guild Branch Manager," so I'll let them talk and listen even then.

"What were you two talking about?

"Hmm... I didn't tell you what got into it. Are you used to green hollows yet? Or what kind of work I do. It's really just a chat."

"... Um"

When I was having such a conversation with Erica, Lisa accidentally broke in.

"My uncle is your mother's friend, isn't he?

"Hey......! That's your brother or something!

Next to the panicking Erica, I accidentally smiled bitterly.

"You're as old as your mother, but you're hard to call your brother. And your mother is your sister."

"No, no, no, that makes the Florence Branch Manager an aunt, doesn't it? The manager, too, said it didn't look that way. If he asks, he'll be pissed off."

"I don't think he'd be mad. You're more of a self-proclaimed type."

"Normally, I get angry. He said he was angry inside."

Lisa moved her gaze to go back and forth between me and Erica, then reluctantly said the rest of the questions.

"So you and your father were friends, too?

――――

Don't you dare smile at me so I don't understand that I'm stuck in a response.

The question itself was not a difficult substitute to answer.

The answer is' yes'. We hadn't reached the realm of best friends, but I think it was a relationship where we recognized each other as one of our friends.

So why did you get stuck responding?

That's because it wasn't any other Lisa who threw the question.

"When it comes to Lisa's father, she's the husband of the branch manager, right? Speaking of which, I don't listen to your husband, but what are you doing?

"Your father is dead. He was just a kid, so I don't really remember him."

Erica blued that she didn't say so.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Because I didn't know, see?"

"Nothing's fine. Because I really don't remember."

In the form of a help boat to Erica, who struggles with the follow-up, I decided to answer Lisa's questions properly.

"Me and your father were friends. When I haven't been an adventurer in five years, I was based in the same guild house. Your mother was with you, and you were the head of the guild house idol."

"Mother, I'm hot"

"Oh, well. Don't tell everyone, but I was a little concerned at the time, too. You shouldn't tell your mother."

Knowing it's a slightly over the top trick, let him make a gesture that puts his index finger in front of his mouth.

Lisa's expression is just getting a little lively.

I guess curiosity is inspired before the opportunity to listen to a mother's old stories I don't know.

"I mean, I guess the guys at that guild house were all obsessed with their mother. Your father was the most serious of them all, and when I heard he was getting married, he was good enough to think," Well, he deserved it. "

"Damn, so!?

Lisa rides herself out to the table.

When I was about her age, I was a hungry ghost with a simple, childish thought circuit itself, but women have heard that the contents grow one foot ahead.

Lisa must also have had an interest in the erotic shakedown.

"It's going to be a long time. That's it for today. But - remember that your father and mother have always cared about you. It hasn't changed at all."
