A Moment Alone With Serana (R-18)

Raikono having a friend in that place surprised Damian.

"A friend of yours?" Damian said. "I thought you lived up on that mountain."

"I did, yes," Raikono said. "But that doesn't mean I couldn't leave, right? Anyway, let's go inside."

The tavern looked awful on the outside, but once inside, Damian was surprised to see how packed it was. There were many people sitting at the tables, drinking, eating, and sharing information.

Raikono went straight to the bartender, who said, "Good evening. What can I get you?"

The bartender's rudeness was evident, but Raikono didn't seem to mind. It was common for people in that tavern to treat each other badly.

"I'd like to speak with Jejelak," Raikono said. "Tell him it's Raikono."

Damian was standing next to him, and when he heard the name, he thought it sounded strange. "It certainly doesn't belong to a human," he thought.
