Creak~

The opening door creaked.

"Welcome, welcome! Come on in--Oh, so you came back, kiddo!"

My eyes widened. The door opened to an unknown world. I had never seen this.

It was a noticeable change in the environment. A huge change, even. This door actually opened to such a full of life, crowded place.

So this was what was making all the ruckus, eh? Both of my brows arched up.

Laughter and shoutings ranged out within the enclosure of these walls.

An inn, huh. Surely, this place's the most lively and animated one I've ever come by.

"So, what brings you here, kiddo?"

Oh and there she is. The kind ma'am.

She was going on about serving clients, I think. Did she never stop working? This human surely was an avid worker. It's commendable.

In both hands, she had giant plates. And within these giant plates, were scattered many other little dishes, full of different foods.

In the ruckus of that place, "Owner, owner!" Some hands were raised here and there. While she was scurrying her way between all these hands, skillfully.

An avid worker with a lot of work to do. That's how they come. Both intense work and avid worker.

Still carrying around all her gear, she was scurrying around from one customer to the other as she threw glance at me.

"Margaret, leave the counter and come up here to help manage our dear wild customers!"

"Right away, mum!"

Bursts of laughter reached my ears yet another time. I counted them no longer at this point, "So it'll be the beautiful lass serving us, today, heheh, lucky~"

Well, of course she has a lot of work on her hands, she's a great person, clients must be coming to her on a daily basis by hundreds if not more!

Having called in this Margaret person for assistance, she found an opening. A breach in her busy routine that'd allow her to talk to me.

"So, you wanna work with me again, mhm?"

Finally, she did get rid of all those plates on her hands. Seeing her carrying around this much without letting anything fall at all was as much impressive as it was demanding.

What if all of a sudden she stumbled down dragging all her paraphernalia with her down.

Thankfully, nothing of the sort did happen. I could breathe in relief.

"What can you be daydreaming about that'd make you this detached, mhmm?" She said as she came to pinch my nose.

"Oh," I was startled but eventually came back to reality. When was she that close again?

"Yes," I then managed awkwardly, "This business-related thing I had to take care of--That I talked to you about, well uh, no can do, for now, I think."

"Hmm, so you do want to help me with work again, little man."

"Would--Is it really okay if I trouble you with my care, though?"

"Don't mention it, really. I told you already, look around us," she said as she took a step back and extended her arms to her left, then to her right, indicating me to look around, "See, that's the lot of customers I talked to you about."

"That much's even wilder than back at the marketplace, right? Naturally, your help is most welcomed."

My head only shook itself. I sighed yet another breath of relief. Only then did I bring my glance back to her, "Thank you, really."

"Tut-tut. I'm the one thanking you," her smile couldn't be more brightful. "Come, come here, now."

This inn was huge and dense. It would nearly remind me of my place of birth--The restaurant.

In both places, wooden tables and people were scattered around. Though in the restaurant, it'd been neat and organized. In the inn, it wasn't that structured.

This place was more vivid and vigorous, to say the least.

I kinda like that.

It wasn't that huge, though. Maybe that's part of what would make it this hearty and welcoming.

In one word: friends. This was a place for friends.

And anyway, after having exchanged these brief words with her, the kind ma'am guided me to a lone table on one side of the tavern.

Uh? But, what was she doing? Indicating me to wait up a bit, she didn't take long: enticing and alluring dishes were to be brought up to me.

"Wait--"

"You eat, first, it's fine. You'll start working tomorrow if you don't mind, kiddo."

"No, but--"

Wasn't it myself who should have delivered her this kind of, 'if you don't mind,' following with a 'can I eat again before?'

She truly was kind to me.

I mean, ahhhh.

And I just took her up to the words.

Presented with so many little shining dishes in front of me, how was I then to refuse her?

And thus, I'd start to wolf every little dish down. Drool accumulated on the corner of my lips, my eyes sparkled, I could only gulp in expectation.

Conveniently, I just dug in.

And time went by.

"So what's your name again?"

"Kiddo."

"No, but I mean your real name, you ding-dong."

At some point, a beautiful human damsel joined me at my table. I wasn't done eating yet. I had a huge appetite, they told me.

Clients were becoming scarce, it was getting late.

"It's--It really is kiddo, I think," I managed, still munching on my meat.

"Fufufu. Aren't you a funny little one, now."

A name, huh. A name was something you'd be called with. Hers was Sterna from what she told me. And mine … it was kiddo. Probably.

Sterna was one of Kind Ma'am's two daughters. Margaret and Sterna. Then there was Kind Ma'am.

And, mmhm, noice, very noice~

Sterna's meatballs sure are big, too, kehehehe. From where I sat, I could see them fidgeting and wiggling as she giggled.

A lewd smile appeared on my childish face, I blushed a little bit.

Kehehehe ... that's what I'm talking about when I say I go for the meatballs, heh!

A gorgeous, grown-up woman!

Ahem, ahem.

But it wasn't important, was it?

Well, maybe a little bit.

Still, though.

Let's just keep it serious.

From discussing names, our conversation drove to talking about my job. She told me many things. Among which, that she was happy I'd accepted their offer this time about.

I didn't get it, but whatever.

She also further talked to me about my job. Explaining to me what I'd need to do and whatnot. And I could comprehend that much, thankfully.

And from talking about my job, she started to inquire about me. I replied to her. Her conclusion? I was a funny strange daydreaming character full of creativity.

Just like this, we talked and talked more--Well, she was the one talking, mostly. I was just listening, eating, and responding when I had time to do so.

"And now, it gets me wondering ever since earlier, but, what would a little guy like you go outside of the village for?" she tilted her head to her right.

"The monsters'--" swallowing the content of my mouth, I continued, "The monsters' home--I wanted to go there."

"Oh~ aren't you the bold type, too, kid. That's impressive, tee-hee," I smiled at her.

"It's okay to be afraid, though," she nodded her head to me, "You didn't go out, finally, maybe the monsters are too scary after all."

Still munching on my food, I managed, "No, no. It's just--Don't get the wrong idea. Me?" I pointed at my chest, "Not afraid at all," then went on nodding to her.

"Hahaha. Sure, sure, I believe you."

"You do, right? What's more, I can't just go outside right now. The human guard said because I'm--Because the monster's here, in the city, they can't let people out."

"Hmm, that's interesting. And yes, yes, I do," she continued giggling again, "Well, anyway. You take your time and eat all you want, this big sister of yours shall serve you more if it's to your needs."

Mhmm? Was she about to leave? Our conversation had finally picked my interest, though, I was eager to know something now, "No, wait."

"Mhm?" she sat back onto her stool.

I had to ask her that question.

"The monster, why is everyone ... why is everyone this eager to capture it and kill it…?"

"Mm, well, that's because the monster's a villain, don't you think?"

A villain, huh.

No, but, that wasn't it.

I need to make myself clear here.

"E--Even you, big sister? Even you and kind ma'am want to capture and kill it, big sister?"

While reformulating to her that question my eyes dived into her. I didn't let go of her eyes as I seized them with mine.

This question, whose answer I feared deep within my heart, I asked her.

Ba-dump, ba-dump.

My heartbeat increased. I even gulped in expectation.

This was my question.

To this seemingly meaningless question … what would be her answer…?
