Many people gathered around a long-haired young man in the inn, where part of the ground floor hall had been converted into a tavern and a restaurant.
"The town pharmacist said that unless a healer heals Hiroshi's leg, Hiroshi will never walk again."
"After doing this to that little brat friend of ours, are we going to act like nothing happened, leader?"
"Yes, leader, we want a statement"
"Leader, let us find that child and punish him."
The stubble-bearded young man, with his long brown hair tied in a bun on top of his head, frowned and looked at the mercenaries under his command.
The man who was the leader of the red wolf mercenary unit looked at his subordinates, who did not realize what kind of threat the boy who used the lowest level fireball magic with a completely different technique and without saying a word was.
Just as the leader was about to open his mouth and tell his subordinates to forget this incident, one of the four hooded people sitting at a table eating snacks opened her mouth and caught everyone's attention.
"The leader is right, I'm not sure about that kid, but at least he can be a wizard or even a magic master. Moreover, he is a high nobleman, his mannerisms and speaking style are completely different from ordinary people. Even if we beat that kid with the majority of numbers, the only thing waiting for us is more.There will be trouble"
The leader looked at the girl named Maki, one of the four mages of the red wolf mercenary unit, with a smile.
"As expected of you, Maki-chan, you immediately noticed things that these idiots failed to notice."
"Of course, I don't think our leader is someone who will give up when he encounters a difficulty. He will go and face that child alone and in a gentlemanly manner. If our leader cannot even do this, I think we need to change our leader."
One of the mercenaries scratched his head and hesitated for a moment before speaking to calm Maki down.
"Maki-san, isn't it a bit extreme to change the leader?"
Maki, who was sitting at the dinner table and about to put one of the blushes in front of her into her mouth, raised her head and revealed her eyes hidden behind her raincoat.
When he saw Maki's murderous eyes, the mercenary who had just barely gathered the courage to speak, said he was feeling sleepy and ran to his room.

"We are here, this is the inn I told you about"
Without waiting for Shizune or Natalia to answer, I opened the door and walked in. The owner of the inn was briefly surprised when he saw me, probably because I used my teleport ability when I went out.
After giving a slight nod to the owner of the inn, I headed directly towards the stairs, but something unexpected happened.
The man, who I assumed was the leader of the mercenary who was teasing me earlier, confronted me as I was about to climb the stairs.
"We need to talk to you for a while"
My anxiety disappeared as he spoke in a more moderate tone than his subordinates. When I first saw him, I was worried he'd say something stupid and reveal the truth that I could use magic.
It was entirely my fault for using magic recklessly in the first place, but I wasn't really thinking about it at the time.
"I will come to you after showing my friends their rooms. If you are still here, sir, I will not hesitate to sit and talk with you."
Even though the words I said seemed normal to the girls behind me who were unaware of anything, the man in front of me probably understood that I was threatening him.
"I plan to sit here all night, please stop by when you are free so I can buy you a meal."
I paused briefly before taking the hand of the man who extended his hand to me to greet me. Maybe he's not calling me to fight like I thought.
" Satisfaction "
As we walked up the stairs, Shizune asked questions about who that guy was and I brushed her off with answers like a random person I was chatting with for a bit.
When I got to the room I rented on the 3rd floor, I opened the door and showed the girls the simply designed room.
"This is your room, if you are hungry I can get some food for you from downstairs."
"If I eat cooked food, my digestive system will probably be disrupted. I wish my love would make chips specially for me, with an original recipe."
Naturally, I had been preparing the meals since we set off, and many times during the trip I tried to cook some of the fast foods from my previous world with the ingredients of this world. Thanks to my cooking skills and probably a sign from the creator god, I made alternative recipes without any difficulty
"I can't cook right now, but I can get up early to prepare breakfast, Natalia-sama."
"Don't you call me your love anymore? For some reason, I feel like there's a twist in my heart. If you touch my heart, you'll understand too, Yuto-kun."
Shizune, who had already entered the room and tried to choose her own bed, could no longer keep calm due to the conversations at the door, so she pulled her aunt into the room and closed the door.
I started walking towards my room while thinking about Natalia's jokes that were getting more sincere as time went by. As soon as I reached the door of my own room, I remembered that I had unfinished business, and with the help of a mid-level spell, I found the long-haired young man smoking tobacco in the alley outside the inn.
I made sure no one was around me before quickly teleporting to her age.
"Do you have something to tell me?"
The man, who was busy smoking tobacco, was startled when he heard the sound coming from behind him and took a few steps forward; He quickly ran across the street and turned around
"When did you get behind me?"
"I don't have time. Whatever you have to say, say it quickly."
------- After a few minutes
In short, this man is the leader of the red wolf mercenary unit and the reason he found me was because his men were pressuring him because he did nothing while I maimed one of his subordinates.
After a short conversation, when I saw that he was not as brainless as his subordinates, I left him a gold coin and returned to the door of my room. One gold coin could probably pay for two people's treatment. More importantly, in exchange for this money, I have prevented the red wolf mercenaries from gossiping about me to some extent.
It's like killing two birds with one stone
