(EP-167.2) Night #8
167 – Day and Night #8
I went outside Ark with Narmi.
The place I took her to was a rather bustling restaurant in Gracia City.
「Imp Tail Tavern.」
Though, it was more like an inn rather than a restaurant. It was a place that combined accommodations with the sale of alcoholic beverages and meals.
Such businesses are livelier in the evenings.
After finishing their day’s work, laborers and adventurers would gather in groups, clinking glasses, and engaging in lively conversations. Just like most places of this kind, it was filled to the brim.
“It’s crowded.”
Narmi was right. It was noisy and filled with uncivilized clatter as well as sounds of utensils constantly banging your ears.
“I’ve never been to a place like this before.”
“I see.”
It was not the kind of place that would suit a noble lady. I had wondered if Narmi, who often roamed around at night, had ever been to a tavern like this, but it seemed like she had no prior experience.
Well, it took a lot of courage to enter a place like this alone, so that was only natural.
“Even in the evening, there are still so many people!”
Narmi exclaimed as she saw the crowd and noise around her.
Narmi was that extroverted friend who could find energy and vitality in people. It felt like a place that was so noisy and chaotic to the point that it unexpectedly suited her taste.
I said.
“These kinds of places only truly come to life at night.”
“Really?”
“I’ll take care of the ordering, so please tell me if there’s anything you’re interested in.”
“Eum-. Then how about some spicy chili sausage and beer.”
“Beer?”
“Eung, eung! Unnie always drinks wine. I also wanted to try this ‘beer’.”
“Then I’ll order it.” frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
And so I ordered some food and the things Narmi wanted from the waiter.
We didn’t have to wait long as the dishes soon arrived, and Narmi, who had skipped lunch, eagerly picked up her fork and knife.
Of course, the meal had the atmosphere of a noble lady, contrasting the barbaric revelry of the surroundings.
“It’s tastier than I thought.”
To the extent that it almost looked like a solemn act of prayer in itself. Even the beer foam that got on her mouth had its own charm.
Narmi’s presence naturally attracted the attention of those around us.
━She looks like a noble.
━I feel like I’ve seen that silver hair and ruby eyes somewhere. Ah, isn’t she Mirna Draco?
━Nah, there’s no way, right? Why would Mirna Draco come here? Why would she even drink cheap watered-down beer?
Seuk.
Narmi then put her spoon down. Whether it was due to the various emotions she was feeling or the intoxication from the beer she had been sipping, but her face was flushed red.
Narmi then said.
“... Everyone thinks I’m Unnie.”
