Book 9: Chapter 4 (1)
Once the banquet drew to a close, the main guests -Shin and his group- went to their assigned rooms inside the guildhouse. They had one room each, but as expected Yuzuha slipped into Shin’s room.
“I guess I got a little tipsy.”
Yuzuha had curled up into a ball on the bed as soon as they entered the room, and Shin left to take a walk in the guildhouse to sober up.
Shin knew Kuchinashi and her guild from before, so he was also familiar with the structure of the guildhouse to a degree. Given his familiarity combined with the map, he wouldn’t lose his way.
Even if he bumped into other guild members, his name and face were already well known, so as long as he avoided any places where only guild members were allowed, there wouldn’t be any problems.
“Hm? This presence is…”
Following the presence displayed on the map, Shin arrived in a part of the guildhouse resembling a garden.
The square-shaped garden was about 20 mels wide. The walls hid it from the rest of the building, so it was well suited to practicing with weapons and techniques.
It was already well into the night; the moon and stars were shining gently on the garden’s grass and flowers.
