We were taken to a very large dining room inside Mr. Nooti’s house.
“Please wait here for a while.”
The lizardman who led us to the dining room then made each one of us sit at a designated seat and hurriedly went into the back room.
As we waited, wondering what he was going to do…
“Sorry. I didn’t expect to be here so early, and I can’t offer much hospitality, but …… make yourself at home.”
Mr. Nooti came out from the back of the room with a few lizardmen.
They were holding large plates of fish and vegetables, which they placed in front of us.
“We would like to get to know you better for the further development of our Lizardmen village and the village on the wall of rejection that Mr. Alex and the others from.”
I see. He has invited us to a welcome reception.
This is not something I can refuse.
“I would like to ask for that as well. This time we brought only ironware, but next time we will bring crops that can be harvested in our village.”
Nooti and Yudit sat on either side of me, and we exchanged information for a while about the terrain, crops, and monsters that appeared in the area, and then the meeting was adjourned.
“We have a house for guests a short distance away. It’s late now, so I’d like you to stay the night.”
“I’m sorry for barging in on you so suddenly. I’ll take advantage of your hospitality.”
“No, I would have had to come to your place originally. Don’t worry about it.”
After leaving Mr. Nooti’s house, we were guided to a house for guests, which had one large room and four small rooms inside.
There was no bathroom, but instead there was a tub of clean water and towels.
I guessed they would use these to wipe their bodies.
I tried to decide who would be assigned to which room, but…
“Alex will be in the same room as me!”
“Then …… I’m going to sleep with Master, too!”
Ellie and Monica were acting strangely.
No, they’re the same as usual, but …… Their face is quite red.
“Master Alex. It seems that the two of them are weak when it comes to alcohol. So I will be your partner tonight.”
“Alcohol? Sakura, why is alcohol appearing here?”
“Why, you say …… Alcohol was served at the table earlier, after all.”
I think what I was drinking was just water, but when I asked Yudit and Sophie…
“Master. I was drinking distilled water too.”
They were water just like me.
“My doll was also served water. Perhaps those who were judged to be children based on their appearance were not served alcohol.”
“What? Did they think I was a child, too?”
“No. Master Alex was served a drink from the same container as me, so I assume it was liquor. It was not a very strong drink, so I think Master Alex did not recognize it as alcohol.”
I learned that when I drank the monster wine at Shelly’s place, I don’t seem to be intoxicated by alcohol, thanks to my paladin’s resistance to abnormal statuses.
“Sakura. Can you tell Meilin via the doll that we’re staying in this village?”
“No problem. I’ve already informed her.”
“Well, as expected. That would be great.”
“No. But, Miss Meilin …… or rather, the ladies at home are sulking, so please do your best tomorrow.”
The ones who are not here are Lydia, Nina, Nora, Fiine and Meilin.
Rei would not be sulking, but it would be difficult to calm them all down.
I was trying to imagine what I would do when we return home…
“Well, then, Alex and I will have this big room over here! And those of you who don’t want to do it with Alex, go sleep in one of the empty rooms!”
Ellie, who talks in a weird way, pulls my hand and tries to go to the back room.
“Alex- What’s this thing Ellie was talking about? What are you going to do?”
“Yu-Yudit!? Oh no …… I-It’s not that. We’ll just sleep with each other like normal people.”
“Then, I’m going to sleep with Alex, too!”
Oh no, this is bad, this is really bad.
Ellie is so drunk that even if Yudit is in the same room with us, I’m sure she’s going to act the same way she always does.
I can’t let the young Yudit see that …… That’s right!
“[Refresh] …… She’s too drunk to be cured by my medium-level magic! Y-Yudit! C-Can you use some status recovery magic on Ellie?”
“Hmm, I can only use up to medium level sacred magic, so it’s the same for me, you know? Never mind that, let’s sleep already.”
“That’s right, Master. Let’s go to bed early. Oh …… Or, do you want to go for a walk now?”
Monica, who had already joined in when I noticed, was already completely naked!
I mean, Tabitha was the one who told about the nude strolling play, even though I don’t have that kind of taste…
“Master. I don’t think it’s a good idea to take a walk outside dressed like that and cause trouble in the village of another race.”
Sophie gave me a serious look.
