His face seemed to be extremely tired, and still slightly drunk. Cale nodded in satisfaction, before heading down to the first floor.

�As I expected.�

7:00 am was early, but the day was not yet over for some people. The Vice Captain was standing there, looking like he had never even drunk last night, and was having a serious conversation with someone.

Cale could see a stiff Choi Han nearby. It was because the person speaking with the Vice Captain was one of the knights that Choi Han had defeated yesterday. It was only normal to stiffen up.

Cale approached Choi Han, and kicked Choi Han�s foot.

�Why are you stiffening up like that?�

�Ah.�

Choi Han flinched for a moment at Cale�s stealthy whisper, before smiling awkwardly and quietly responding back.

�I thought I had used enough strength to make them unable to fight for about a day, but they are up and moving much earlier than I expected. I guess I thought the human body was much weaker than it actually is. I guess I can use more strength against humans in the future.�

Cale turned his gaze away from Choi Han. Choi Han really fit the model of a normal main character who would happily destroy anything in his path toward justice. There was also other existences who were outside of Cale�s expectations.

On and Hong had followed him downstairs. The kittens had smirks on their face as they wagged their tails and peeked at the knight. Anybody could see that they were enjoying this situation.

��Am I the biggest coward here?�

As Cale was thinking about that and sat down at his table, the inn owner brought a bottle of alcohol to him.

�Young master, I prepared the same alcohol you drank last night.�

�Old man, there is something that keeps coming to my mind whenever I see you.�

�Yes?�

Cale smiled at the nervous old man and continued to speak.

�I think you are a really smart vendor. It�s a compliment. This is perfect for a hangover drink.�

Pong.

The alcohol bottle opened with a refreshing sound, and Cale immediately poured a cup and downed it. His face almost instantly started to turn red. Cale purposefully made his eyes only half opened, and looked toward the Vice Captain. The Vice Captain was still talking to the other knight.

�Yesterday, we had a party to relax after a long journey until here. Everybody was drinking and relaxing. Nobody left the inn. But I still don�t understand why someone from the Viscount�s estate would be curious about that.�

The knight from the Marquis�s estate seems to have introduced himself as someone from the Viscount�s estate. The knight smiled at the Vice Captain�s suspicious gaze, but the knight still answered back with a serious expression.

�There was a thief that broke into the Viscount�s villa yesterday. A couple other knights and I were on guard, but we lost a few items to the thief. After hearing that people from Count Henituse�s estate were here in the village, we came to see if the thief had stolen from the Count as well.�

�Thief my ass. Well, I guess a dragon thief is a thief as well.� JrNovels.com
