Chapter 400: Arc 6, - 16: Old Tavern, New Surroundings
Much like the guild itself, this tavern was much bigger on the inside than the façade. However, the difference was not as egregious. The bar itself stretched from one end of the room to the other; the first thing seen when entered—a mere few steps away.
Yellow lanterns only brightened the gold shades of beer, along with the sweat dripping down the glass. The music of bards merrily cheered through the walls, from flutes to harps.
Some of the patrons stomped their boots to the beat against the wood, mugs and glasses clinked. Narrow was the walk from bar end to bar end, not that the flooring was not enough, but the legroom was scarce.
Tables and chairs flanked and filled up the space wherever it could, with a few patrons alongside it. Just as the five entered through the doors- "Thwack!"
Some burly person with a mohawk and several tattoos sucker punched a lightly armoured man, knocking him onto the ground right before their feet.
Jotou slowly stepped over the man and looked back at her party, "Yeah I think rinky-dink about covers it."
"We have to stay here with all this noise every night...?" Fumeko kept her hands on her ears as she walked in.
"No, we have to stay a couple floors up with all this noise muffled every night," the redhead replied with her brows arched.
"Tis an unruly establishment, truly fitting of the adventuring leitmotif; if it were not so, the void would step foot not in such a space. Odours of the drunkardly kind whacks at one’s sense of scent," Tiffany swivelled her head to take it all in.
"Welcome to a tavern. Look around, this is exactly where we belong. Everybody’s dressed up like a monster’s crawling out the dungeons and the sound of coin’s everywhere. We’ll fit right in," Hotaru swayed herself inwards.
"We could probably sneak into one of the guild’s offices with a sleeping bag and be better off," Fumeko sighed. "Where’s Asobi?"
"Hark, the elf lies there," Tiffany gestured through the swinging arms and waving hands of people towards where one of the bards played.
