Chapter 39: Travelers

"Now that you mention it, there are many people who could be called adventurers," Yoshihama said as he considered what he had just heard.

Bluff touches his chin and hums as he ponders what to say, but finally gives up and slumps his shoulders. Soon his mouth curls into a knowing smile and he said. "Don't worry. You will know soon enough."

Yawning when he heard the two of them talking, Takeuchi decided to go to sleep.

I'm so sleepy. I should take a nap in the carriage this afternoon... Takeuchi thought as he got up.

Cheerful laughter reaches Takeuchi's ears as he looks for a place to sleep, just like before.

But then he sees a figure out of the corner of his eye. When he turns his face in the direction of the figure, he sees a mysterious man wearing a hooded cloak.

That man, what was he doing there? I thought he was sleeping on the carriage... Takeuchi thought.
