(AN: Suprise chapter)
As I approached the tavern, I saw the sign on the top of the building: 'Tavern of Last Delight'
'An intriguing name for a bar.' I thought to myself and I was already at the entrance of the tavern.
The first thing I noticed when I walked through the wooden door was that it looked too modern for a bar in the middle ages. But people here didn't think it was strange.
There were dozens of dining tables around and they were all full. Another point is that there were no other races other than humans.
Behind the bar was a bartender with white hair and a nice suit. He had been staring at me since I walked in. In front of him, a young woman was having a drink. Like the young man, she was also staring at me.
Because so many soldiers and adventurers came to this city, my uniform did not attract the attention of others. So they took one look at me and turned their heads away.
After looking around, I decided to go to the white-haired man and the woman. I sat in the empty chair next to the woman.
"Welcome, dear customer. What would you like to drink?" The white-haired man spoke with an emotionless voice and face.
"Just water is enough. It's my first time here from a distant kingdom, so I wanted to take a look around. You don't mind if we have a little chat here, do you?" When I looked at them closely, I realized that they were both characters from the Death Parade anime.
"No, there will be no problem. My name is Decim and this lady is Chiyuki. She recently started working for me. What is your name, dear customer?" Decim was still speaking with a blank expression. As if he had no emotion.
"My name is Jugram. Have you heard any rumors about what the general who arrived two days ago was staying here for?" I said, and I thought, 'If I used my hypnosis skills, they would tell me everything one by one, but I don't want to rely on such things too much anymore.'
Decim put a glass of water in front of me and started talking. "After the heroes declared war on the giants, the military pace increased everywhere. Since our city is in the border region, she might have come here to support the war."
Chiyuki was just drinking her drink and listening to us while we talked. She hadn't said a word since I arrived.
"I heard these things when I was walking down the street. Do you know anything else?" Something told me that he could tell me more.
Decim looked around for a while and when he saw that no one was nearby, he lowered his voice and began to speak.
"Dear customer, let's keep this between us, but our bars are in every city in this kingdom. So information that people in the neighborhood don't know comes to us from everywhere. Information from the capital says that the hero Videl Blair has sent the general to take the daughter of this city lord into his harem. The city lord values his daughter so much that if anyone else had asked for her, even the king himself, he would have refused, but the hero Videl is very ruthless. He would destroy the city just for opposing him.
Videl chose to send someone as strong as a general, knowing that the lord would most likely defy his order. Although there hasn't been any commotion for two days, things are about to escalate." I listened to Decim without interrupting and I was not surprised.
"And why are you telling me all this?" I asked him.
Decim's usual emotionless face took on a serious expression and he said. "Dear customer, please don't embarrass us. Chiyuki and I could feel some of your power from the moment you stepped into the bar. It is our honor to serve someone like you."
