Chapter 292: True NSFW (Please Subscribe!)

The case that the female innkeeper mentioned earlier took place at the northern inn, also located above the entrance to the small town.

Even Rivira Town, despite being a “town” and somewhat modest in scale, had its central area situated on the eastern cliffside of the lake island. The path there featured numerous slopes and elevation differences.

There was a large incline leading from the island toward the lake, which served as the road to the central district.

As they walked along this slope, Riviria issued an instruction to Izay.

“Izay, you’re not allowed to see that woman again.”

“Hmm—!” Ais nodded in agreement.

She shared Riviria’s thoughts — to keep Izay away from that place.

“I agree with that too, Izay. Other Amazons wouldn’t want me or my sister acting like them; they’re all… domineering?”

Tiona walked beside them, hands behind her back, offering what seemed like a warning. However, the vocabulary of the little angel seemed limited, making her description a bit awkward.

But from another perspective, calling traditional Amazons domineering wasn’t entirely wrong.

After all, they were the kind who would bring men home from outside!

Super mouth slap!

Girls like Tione and Tione were completely different. They grew up in the Amazon homeland but managed to maintain relatively gentle personalities, even if only on the surface, which was quite impressive.

“I understand your concern, but can you trust me a little? I’m a man of integrity!”

In response, Izay helplessly shrugged.

He didn’t have such intentions at all and was completely innocent.

“Huh—? Didn’t you say last time that you were pure? Now you’re claiming to be a man of integrity?”

Noticing the gap in his words, Tione seized the opportunity to tease him.

“…”

I suspect you’re implying something, but I have no evidence!

Izay shot her an unimpressed glance, “Arguing for the sake of it? Are you a troll too, Tione!?”

“How about it? Not allowed?”

“Hmph! Let me tell you, you better keep an eye on Finn! Finn is determined to build a harem to revitalize the race! He’s way more capable than me!”

???

Polite Finn: What the hell, Izay…

Finn, who had been happily watching the drama unfold from the back of the group, suddenly froze, losing his smile.

How did this happen? Is there some grudge between you and me, Izay?

This seems to not be the first time!

Somewhat influenced by Izay’s diversionary tactics, Riviria naturally glanced at Finn. Upon noticing his awkward expression, she couldn’t help but laugh quietly.

And Finn became even more frustrated.

Thus, they arrived at the central district of Rivira Town, where the adventurers who had previously disappeared finally began to appear.

They gathered in a narrow alley, crowding around the entrance of a cave. Leaning against the wall nearby, a sign written in Common Language read “Willy Inn.”

The innkeeper mentioned earlier referred to this place.

Although the inn was surrounded by adventurers, preventing any passage, the reputation of Familial Groups and the respect inspired by personal strength always came into play at moments like these.

When someone noticed the arrival of six top-tier adventurers from Loki Familia, the crowd immediately fell silent.

Very conscientiously, they made way for Finn and his group.

“Hey… why are you pushing? Looking for trouble?”

“…Just look to the side.”

“Whoa! [Loki Familia]!?”

Sorry for interrupting, sorry for my mistake!

Silence, apologies, and stepping aside happened almost seamlessly.

Similar conversations kept occurring among the crowded adventurers, after which they all moved aside, creating a path.

For the behavior driven by fear, Finn felt somewhat embarrassed.

However, preoccupied with the murder case, he quickly led the group through the crowd.

At the cave entrance stood several adventurers acting as guards, enforcing the typical “No entry for unauthorized personnel” rule at crime scenes.

But the guards were soon convinced by Finn’s approach, allowing Izay and the others to enter the inn to check the situation.

Built using natural caves as its foundation, the interior of the “Willy Inn” was spacious, considered one of the high-end inns in Rivira Town.

The main corridor was wide enough for Izay and his companions to walk side by side. The ceiling was tall, and the usual enclosed feeling of caves wasn’t prominent.

Under the illumination of blue crystals in the corridor, they proceeded directly to the depths of the inn.

“For a high-end inn, there aren’t even doors…”

Izay looked at the natural caves used as hotel rooms.

There were obvious signs of human renovation, but the entrances, instead of actual doors, merely had curtains made from cloth hanging as barriers.

Doesn’t that mean anyone could peek while you sleep?

Seriously!

No one paid attention to Izay’s comment… because they seemed to have reached the scene of the incident.

Similarly, it was a room with a curtain for a door, with three adventurers standing guard outside.

Apparently startled either by the scene inside or the arrival of Loki Familia, their current state wasn’t good. They didn’t obstruct Finn and Izay as they stepped inside.

“—!”

What met their eyes was a shocking crime scene.

The victim’s face was completely destroyed, leaving no trace of their former appearance. The room’s condition could only be described as gruesome.

“Don’t look, Refia.”

“Turn around first…”

“….Eh?”

Without hesitation, Izay and Ais acted, pushing the young elf who hadn’t fully entered the room back, shielding her from the sight.

Among everyone present, in terms of adventurer “experience,” only Izay and Refia were the least seasoned.

The former lacked experience in time, while the latter lacked it in maturity.

First-timers seeing such a scene might feel uncomfortable or even develop psychological scars.

Izay was fine.

His character couldn’t be shaken by such sights, and with his skills, there was no chance of psychological trauma, just a sense of discomfort.

Refia, however, was different.

She was barely fifteen years old, still a year away from adulthood, and even longer by elven standards. Such a sight was too early for her.

True NSFW.

Ais and Izay thought alike, both taking action simultaneously.

The blonde girl blocked one side of the entrance, leaving the other to Izay.

However, perhaps Izay’s timing was too perfect.

As he moved, Refia was stepping aside to pull the curtain open and enter.

Blocked by Izay, her cheeks collided with his back with a “puff.”

With the sudden change, Refia momentarily lost her vision, then slightly leaned backward and stiffened.

The unexpected movement left her forgetting to distance herself from Izay.

Such an intimate act caused her long ears to blush, her face buried in Izay’s back, hidden from view.

But judging from her stiffened body, one could guess her current state.
