Chapter 135: Opportunity part 4
Elmo couldn't understand why he had to deal with the bandages. He really wasn't sure what to do with them in the first place. Although, he was sure that he was expected to take care of them in a way that they wouldn't be found. Not that he knew what he could do about it with what he had on hand.
He could use his magic, but he suspected that his Brimstone Fire would work, but it would also probably set the inn on fire and he had a feeling that if he did that then they'd be not only out of a place to stay for at least part of the day, but also however much it would cost for the damages.
Which Elmo was sure would be more than they still have on hand.
Sighing, he eventually just put them in a corner of the room that wasn't visible from the door and made his way downstairs to the common area. He was a little surprised to hear a significant amount of talking, though he didn't try to think of reasons why. He was just curious as to what was going on.
After all, it wasn't usual for this time of day to have a large group in the common area. Or at least what he'd experienced about it so far. Maybe it was different in a city in this world.
As Elmo started heading down to the first floor, he couldn't help but yawn as he was rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. He wouldn't mind some breakfast, even though he wasn't that hungry for whatever reason. He usually didn't get like that, but when he did, it usually meant that he wouldn't be able to eat much.
Not only that, but he'd also be unlikely to have much of an appetite throughout the day. It wasn't a big deal for him, it was just how he was. Not that he had any idea why it happened at any time.
Although, as he reached the bottom of the stairs, he felt a hand put on his shoulder, stopping him from moving forwards. He looked up in confusion, not really sure what was going on. Though, it took him a few minutes before his vision would focus.
He jump back in surprise when he saw it was a soldier. He then looked around, feeling a momentary sense of panic as he saw five other soldiers around the room, each standing and looking rather alert. Jonas was sitting around a group of men who looked to be roughly Elmo's age, though he couldn't understand what was going on.
Fortunately, he saw Elin and Kim father in the inn, so he made his way around the soldiers, afraid of what might happen if he even merely brushed against one of them as he passed by.
The soldiers being quiet even made Elmo feel even more unsettled. He wished that he knew what was going on with tall the soldiers.
