The Drunken Satyr

Chapter 72: The Drunken Satyr

I decided to talk to the woman named Satyr, who is nearby, about the commotion in the city.

-x-x-x-x-x-

Nina went to the woman who was sleeping hunched over the box, with her legs stretched out, and called out loudly to her.

"Hey, wake up! You there, Satyr!"

The woman called Satyr is not human, but had cloven hooves and long hair covering the lower half of her body, like a goat. She seems to be a woman, but her hair is disheveled, her limbs are spread out, and there is an empty wine bottle nearby.

"Hey, come on."

Nina grabs her by the shoulders and shakes her roughly. Looking closely, you can see two small horns appearing between her messy hair.

The satyr then growled and slowly began to wake up.

"Ugh, my back hurts. Hmm, where am I?"

"You finally woke up, what's all this commotion in the city?"

She brushed the hair from her face and stared at us.

"Here, have some water."

Filiana offered some water to the satyr, who took it and swallowed it directly.

"Oh, thank you. By the way, who are you? Are you the owners of this land? Did I do something wrong again?"

I explained that we were travelers and had just arrived in the city.

"Ah, I understand... all this commotion... is that... what was the name again...? It seems that a huge reward was offered, you know that big country on the side? Apparently it was the spoiled prince from there who made the request."

The words were said in fragments and difficult to understand, but if you can translate, it seems to mean that adventurers are gathering to complete a high-value request made by the prince of a neighboring country.

"Isn't that the country we want to reach?"

I pointed to the map.

"Yes, that's right, um, what was his name again? Prince something."

"Well, at least I understand the reason for the commotion. Now, let's head towards the forest ahead."

When I said goodbye to the satyr and was about to leave, she called us.

"Hey, you idiots, are you going through the forest up ahead? No, no, you can't, the elves rule this forest."

According to her, adventurers rarely get close to the place. But they are elves and, if my image is correct, they will probably cooperate if I tell them the reason for my journey.
