Encounter in the Outskirts

Within the Quest Guild, Emilia was subjected to a form of "torture" at the front desk. 

She was torn between wanting Banning to leave, and desiring him to linger a while longer.

On one hand, Emilia feared that if this continued, she would lose control over her embarrassment, potentially making an odd sound. 

On the other hand, she couldn't bear to part with Banning, particularly given that it was the end of the month and the Quest Guild was exceedingly busy, ensuring their meetings would be brief and far between.

It was then that Banning uttered a sentence that sent Emilia's mind into a whirlwind of imaginative possibilities. 

"Emilia, there might still be remnants of the Mayor's power... Your home isn't safe at the moment. If you don't mind, you could stay with me at the inn."

After processing Banning's words, Emilia fixated on the phrase "stay with me."
