I Was the Heroine, and in the Sequel, Even Though I’m a Mob, All of My Stats Are Maxed Out

Some Things Are Bound to Happen When Traveling 2

We weren’t expecting that the teleportation circle wouldn’t work, so it looked like we would have to stay in the town for the night.

It seemed that there were many people like us who were unable to return home, and all the accommodation facilities were fully booked.

Finally, we found a vacant room at the last one, and the three of us decided to stay there for the time being.

“So small! Seriously, the three of us are staying here?”

“We should be thankful that we got a room.”

The room we were guided to was clean, but it seemed to be a one-person room, and as Theo said, it was quite small. Perhaps because the two of them were tall, it felt even more cramped.

“For now, Theo, please contact the royal castle.”

“Hng, okay.”

Theo quickly nodded and released his familiar through the window.

Truthfully, I could return to the royal castle because I had been given a teleportation magic tool by Alvin-sama. However, it was so expensive that my eyeballs almost popped off, and I couldn’t just leave the two of them alone and went back by myself.

Theo’s report would be conveyed to Alvin-sama, and there should be no problem if I returned tomorrow morning.

The room was also equipped with a small shower room, and we decided to shower in turns after a day of hunting demons. I went in first and changed into the nightgown I had borrowed from the inn.

Afterward, I returned to our room and saw that Theo and Dirk had sat down around a small table and seemed to be drinking the alcohol they ordered from room service.

“Sorry for going in first. Phew, I feel refreshed.”

“Nina, you’ve grown up, haven’t you? Maybe it’s because your hair is wet, but you look a little alluring right now, just a little.”

“I’m not happy with that last comment, but thank you…. Dirk?”

“It’s nothing.”

After looking at me for a moment, Dirk turned his face away so quickly to the side that I was worried about his neck bones. Would he be okay?

“Dirk can go in next.”

“No, Theo should go in first. Please.”

“Really? Well then, I’ll go in first.”

Theo headed to the shower room first and I was left alone with Dirk.

“Dirk, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?”

“No, I’m fine, just give me some space.”

“Eh?”

“I mean, I haven’t showered yet.”

“I don’t mind.”

However, I didn’t want to do anything Dirk didn’t want me to do. I sat down on the bed a little further away and dried my hair with wind magic.

Soon after that, Theo came out. While thinking that men were very fast in showering, I watched Dirk leave the room without looking at me.

Theo looked amazingly good in the same simple nightgown as mine, and I once again thought that handsome men were cheating. If Alvin-sama were to wear it, it must have looked like the finest of clothes.

“That guy’s face was red, did something happen?”

“I’m not sure….”

“Hmm. Hey, Nina, dry my hair.”

“Theo is better at wind magic than I am. You’re such a spoiled child.”

“There are days I’m like that.”

Perhaps because he was drunk, Theo looked younger than usual.

Although he had grown considerably taller and looked bigger, Theo was still like a cute little brother to me. Thinking about it like that, there was also Dirk, who was like an older brother to me. It was like a trip with my siblings.

While drying Theo’s hair and talking about trivial things, Dirk came out of the bathroom. The sight of water dripping down from his wet hair was so dazzling that I couldn’t help but feel a sense of shock. As expected of a beautiful man.

“Why don’t you let Nina dry your hair, too? It feels good.”

“I’m good.”

I felt something strange about his appearance.

“Dirk, don’t you look kind of cold?”

“Because I showered in cold water.”

“Eh? There’s hot water in the shower, you know.”

“I know.”

“….?”

Was the cold water part of a physical workout? Still, I was just relieved that this time he looked at me.

Theo was fussy about being sleepy after that, so I decided to get some rest. However, there was only one bed, although it was a large one. There was no sofa in this room, not even a space to lie down on the floor.

“Nina can have the bed.”

“No, I don’t want to be the only one sleeping in the bed.”

“We’ll be fine. We can sleep anywhere.”

Still, it was uncomfortable for me to sleep snugly on the bed while everyone else slept on hard little chairs.

“But the three of us could sleep side by side on the bed, couldn’t we?”

“Sure. We could sleep together in a river-style.”

“A river?”

“Oh, it’s a character from my world. Like this.”

As I was explaining to Theo about the kanji character for “river,” Dirk sighed, “Wait.”

“It will be weird, isn’t it? Nina is a woman.”

“Come to think of it, she is.”

“That’s just plain rude.”

“But I’m already sleepy. I’m drunk and I don’t want to sleep in a chair. Hey, can we sleep here too?”

Theo had been yawning a lot since a while ago, and he looked really sleepy. I nodded my head, saying, “Yes,” as he stared at me with moist eyes.

“I don’t mind, so if it’s okay with you two, let’s sleep side by side.”

“Okay, it’s settled!”

“I’m good.”

“You can’t sleep in a chair or you’ll have a bad dream.”

“Oi! I’m─”

Theo pulled Dirk’s arm and forcibly pushed him down on the bed.

I went to bed as well, thinking that my friends in the original world would go crazy if they saw this.

“Nina will be in the middle.”

“Eh?”

“I don’t like the idea of guys sleeping next to each other. It’s decided.”

Perhaps because he was drunk, Theo was too unrestrained.

When we finally lay down together, we barely touched each other. If we turned over a little, we might bump into each other, but it would have to do for today. Everyone should be able to rest better than sleeping in a chair.

Perhaps it was because I had been out all day, but when I lay down, I found myself suddenly feeling sleepy.

“I’ll turn off the light.”

“Yes. Good night, Theo. Good night, Dirk.”

“Good night.”

“…. yeah.”

Theo cackled at Dirk’s small reply.

“I was wondering what you were nervous about, but I forgot you really like Nina…. Huwahh, good night.”

Theo turned off the light, and the room became dim, and soon I heard him sleeping from the left side of the room. It was too early to tell, but it was evident that he was quite sleepy.

“…..”

“…..”

Eh, come to think of it, what did Theo just say?

“…..”

“…..”

…… Eh?
