Outside The Hostess Of Fertility

Bell POV

We arrive in front of the well known pub after a short walk. As, luckily the pub is strategically located near the Pantheon.

As I wordlessly begin to make my way towards the large door, that leads into the two story building. The nuisance uninvitedly spews it's toxic waste... A bit harsh of me? No? Yeah, he deserves it...

"An underground informant living in a well known pub! Who could've guessed that one! Hahaha! Classic!" Merlin-sensei giggles with glee, as he analyzes the familiar? situation. At least to him.

"Ryuu-san is not an underground informant Sensei... And she also works there..." I respond tiredly, chastising Merlin-sensei for his ungrounded claims, giving him a disappointed look.

"Even more incriminating evidence! It's to lower suspicion my student! Can't you see? The more unlikely the option, the more likely it is to be used as cover! Don't make that rookie mistake!" Merlin-sensei retorts and downright "destroys" my own claim with a lecture, that radiates enthusiasm and "logic", giving me a teasing toothy grin.

'This isn't going anywhere... I should know better than to try and fix his deluded claims, I'll just cut this short' I thought to myself in exasperation, realizing the futility and foolishness in my attempt to argue with the delusional and self centered Dragon.

"Alright! Alright! Maybe you're right, Let's just go in..." I quickly and halfheartedly agree, conceding the pointless argument in favor of getting down to business.

"Mhm, I always win Bell! And when I lose, it's on purpose!" Merlin-sensei responds to my surrender with a prideful tone, giving a nod of his draconic head whilst spewing out complete nonsense.

Which I, as expected, proceed to ignore. Opening the door and entering the Hostess Of Fertility.

Inside The Hostess Of Fertility

Upon entering, both Merlin-sensei's eyes and mine are invaded with the images of... Absolutely no one. A completely empty pub, wooden chairs and tables lacking any sort of tableware and or customers. The usual sight of Mia-san behind the bar is also mysteriously missing.

"Did we enter at a bad time? Doesn't seem like business is booming and all, especially with how you described this place. What was it? "The best pub and restaurant in all of Orario", I bet my entire bank account it's because the waitresses are hot and you're a horny kid. Wouldn't be the first time I've seen it!" Merlin-sensei comments with doubt and a raised scaly eyebrow, as he unapologetically accuses me of liking this place strictly because of the Waitresses.
