"Oi, so you're finally awake. And here I thought the healer hadn't done his job properly, dammit," someone said as my eyes opened. "Got me worried for nothing…!"

I groaned and looked around. No change, the setting was the same.

Oh, where was I again, though?

"Yeah, that's it, wake up, wake up!"

My arms and head were resting on a wooden counter.

Oh, true. I was looking for good food and got there.

"So, ya feeling any better, weirdo? Did it pass, hmm?" the owner made a gesture with his head, probably indicating he was talking to me, I don't know.

Here I was, in that human's stand. I was waking up.

"Is this how sleep works…?" I said as I stretched my back straight with the help of my arms. "It's my first time doing this, strange."

"Argh," he complained as he was wrapping his things up, behind the counter. "What are ya even mumbling, talking to yourself, weirdo," he asked me.

"Look, you passed out just now--I mean, no, a few hours ago, actually."

Hmm? It was true that the sky had been pretty dark. I looked up to it, "Oh, is it nighttime?"

"You bet it is! Do you even know for how long you've been dozing off on my counter, here? Five hours, man!"

He complained once again, "Five hours!" as he was holding out his right hand's fingers for me to count. There were five fingers in total. He was also nodding to me.

"Oh, is that so?" I was astounded.

"Yes. And now you eat up! Eat up that I can finally close that bloody stand of mine."

My stomach growled. I peered at the bowl resting in front of me, on the wooden counter.

Apparently, I fainted in that man's place. I remembered having asked him for food quite repeatedly.

Was that bowl actually for me? Was I finally served? I looked back at the owner in doubt.

The man was now done with what he'd been priorly doing behind the counter, taking care of his things, I guess.

And now, with quick repeated movements of his chin, he was sort of telling me to eat it. I could understand that much. Doubtless, it was mine.

"Oh, and here," he said as he got near me, he dropped off a piece of cloth on the counter. "You take that, too, it's yours."

"Oh?!" I managed as I hastily brought my hands up my throat, "Is that the one I'd …"

My eyes turned to a slit. I inhaled sharply.

What has he done to me...?

"Uh? You seem surprised?" he asked me before he added, "Of course it's yours, but, eh, ain't got no use for you anymore, right?"

"I mean, assuming you ain't getting one big gash like this one, heh. You, adventurers, are real cheapskates, over here, heh! You coulda, at least, get it healed at the guild or something, ya know."

I wrapped my hands around my throat. The wound was closed.

"Yup, I told you a healer took care of your wounds, didn't I? You really should listen, eh," he said before he mumbled to himself, "Cost me lots of monies and all…"

I hadn't understood much of what he'd told me, but, one thing was of no doubt, I knew that much.

This man...

"A--Are you, by any chance, helping me…?!" I said, slamming my hands on his bar.

My eyes grew wide as my hands took the torn piece of my cape and stuffed it in one of my pockets.

"No shit I'm helping ya, ding-dong!" he told me. "Now hurry it up and finish that bowl up already."

I gulped. It was amazing.

"Thank you," I managed, with a hesitant smile on my face. Was this a common thing, here? Being helped like this?

I shook my head, it didn't matter. Let's just get this over with, I thought.

In a brief move, I grabbed the fork next to the bowl. With its help, I rapidly dug in that bowl of noodles he'd prepared for me.

"Mm-hm," he nodded, "Eat now, good food'll help close your wound, too."

The man was good to me. I wouldn't shy away from his kindness. The first human who'd lend me a hand, so far. I was grateful.

Thus I finally got to eat.

With one noodle after the other, I stuffed the insides of my tummy.

Mhmmm…

So yummy…!

My face was delighted as I ate that man's food. It truly was delicious.

He seemed to faintly smile, too. The sight of me liking his noodles must've pleased him, too. Well, what a good man.

Quickly, he went back to whatever he was doing before.

I was still eating.

The good exploding and harmonious flavors of this bowl were spreading all across my mouth. I slurped these noodles over and over again. I wasn't tired of it.

So, so yummy, really.

And that way, I continued to feed on that bowl, for five good minutes or so.

I finished my business with a light burp.

My benefactor, as for him, was still going about his little occupations. He didn't look that hurrying to me, so I took my time and drank all the noodles' sauce.

I burped again.

I was done.

"Say, human, since you helped me once, will you help me again?" I asked straight up.

"P--Pardon me?? You want more?"

"Y--Yes…" Slowly, I nodded my head with hesitation. I wouldn't want to trouble the man, after all. If he refused me, it was fine.

But well, since he'd offered me his help so kindly, I just jumped at the chance. There was no telling when I'd run into someone like him again.

To my demand, he sighed and shook his head.

As I thought he'd refuse to help more--which was on no account a problem at all--he took my bowl, gestured me to wait, and started making, to me, noodles again.

Well, it surprised me, to say the least. I didn't want to eat anymore. I didn't ask him for something to eat again, I was full. Since he'd started doing it again, though, I kept silent.

Why refuse after he'd gone back to work with so much eagerness? I'd just eat more and that'd be it. It wasn't like I had something against eating, anyway.

Soon, he was done preparing me another bowl. After he'd presented it to me, I'd dug in it.

And thus I went on munching pastas again and again as they filled my stomach even more. It was packed down there, now.

Quickly, I was done eating. I rubbed my belly. If I knew eating could harm people, I'd have thought twice before doing what I did, tonight.

Anyways, I was done eating.

And I had to get back to it, now. Asking for that man's assistance, I mean.

I didn't want to trouble the man, though. So I was quite hesitant. Anyhow, after I'd decided brooding over it wouldn't do me any favor, I just went for it again.

He seemed dubious when I asked if he'd help me again, but before he could hit me with another, "My god?! You wanna eat again?!" I stopped him, explaining to him it was different.

This time about, he'd listen to me. Without missing a beat, then, I explained to the man I wanted to get my hand on a human female.

I told him I was willing to do my utmost best to accomplish that task and knew it wouldn't be all easy. I also told him how I'd been rejected by that group of women I'd bumped into in the midday.

All the long, he didn't miss a chance to laugh at me, "Bahaha! You--And you really said that, gosh you're such a jackass, funny man, eh-heh."

At some point, he started to be himself quite chatty telling me it was fine, that at this point, he said, he might as well just stay here if I needed help.

Whenever a funny guy like me could get a good laugh out of him, he said, well then, it was worth it, he added.

And to that was to be stockpiled the fact that, according to him, I was an adventurer. I wasn't so sure about that, but once again, I remained silent.

Adventurers weren't quite so rare in the surroundings, he said, but still weren't many. And well, short story long, adventurers were heroes, sort of.

Thus, he listened to me and enlightened me on how to get a woman. It really was enlightening and he explained to me tons of tips I'd maybe need to get that done.

To his long explanation, I was careful and attentive.

There were some points I didn't quite get entirely, but it was fine, I thought. I definitely felt like I knew something, now.

Well, to him, it more or less only felt like it was just a big joke coming from me. But eventually, he got into the 'game' and helped me at the end.

It was getting late, too. We chatted a bit longer, or rather, he did that alone, mostly, about his kids and whatnot--This was part of getting a woman, he said.

I needed to take care of the little guys, he said.

Anyways, it was getting late and late, so after having told me he seriously needed to go now and told me to come by again at any time, he left.

It was time to sleep, he said. I needed to go to sleep, too, he also stated.

And well, I took him up to the words. I'd go to sleep too, afterward.
