Creepy Friends (1)

Chapter 61: Creepy Friends 1

I advised Nina, who couldn't express her true feelings, to sincerely apologize to Filiana.

-x-x-x-x-x-

After letting Nina go back, we managed to buy food at the market. The arachnid creatures were surprisingly friendly and provided various services for me and my companions, who were outsiders.

"I thought they would be isolated because they lived in a forest like this, but in fact they are very cheerful people."

"Look, Piyo bought some sweets too!"

Piyo is excited as she spreads some spider web-shaped gummy candies.

As we walked and chatted about trivial things, a man called us from a corner.

"Hey, you there, stop."

The one who called me was a large Arachne man dressed in heavy armor. He is probably the village guard.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?"

I told them that we were travelers and that a necromancer girl had introduced us to the village. The man then sighed and scratched his head with his big hand.

"I understand, maybe the girl's name is Lauren?"

"Yes, do you know her?"

"I am this child's father. I'm sorry my daughter caused trouble."

I shook my head in denial.

"I just needed to take a break somewhere, so this was helpful."

"Were you attacked by a corpse?"

"I... I was attacked."

Lauren's father sighed again.

"That girl has some strange hobbies. I was surprised when she started learning dark magic and started collecting corpses. To be honest, my wife and I are at our limit."

"What is she doing hiding in her cabin all day? I wonder what went wrong with her education. Let me pay for a meal for you as an apology."

When I refused, apologizing for there being too many of us there, he offered to let me take a bath as a thank you.

Everyone agreed with gratitude and we decided to accompany Lauren's father to his house.

As soon as we arrived at his house, a woman who appeared to be his mother appeared in front of us.

"I would like to offer a bath to these travelers."

"We don't have time for that, she said she wants to go on a trip."

"What?!"

This time, our sigh was one of weariness.
