Dinner party

Thanks for showing me around today. Made a lot more money than I thought all thanks to you.

What a lucky guy, 3 gold coins is enough to last for a few months at least.

How about I take you two to the restaurant you mentioned earlier. My treat.

Eh Really!? -(girl)

Oi idiot! You failed todays job, got us involved in this mess meaning no income from today. We have to at least get something for the day!

But isnt it simpler to just have him treat us to dinner instead.

The redhead spoke so.

The boy wanted to get away from me as soon as possible but quickly realized his own fallacy at the girls words.

Tr-true, that would make things easier.bu-but, why do you want to treat the people that tried to mug you? Thats weird!

Is it? I said it was as thanks no? You should give your thanks to the shopkeeper of [Shichifukuya] for that.

Then please. We really have no money right now.

The girls words were final, and the boy also agreed to go along with it.

Just because I made some money doesnt exactly put in a place where I can throw it around butafter spending a month eating alone in the forest, even thieves would make for decent company. It felt good to talk to people again.

Not to mention, these two had a lot of connections around the backstreet it seemed. Better to maintain good relations.

With all that said, we three headed towards a supposedly cheap yet tasty restaurant.

You sure look like youre enjoying it. Were eating the same thing yet youre making it look like you got a much better dish.

Like I explained, all I have eaten for almost a month is flavourless orc meat inside a forest. Well it was tasty in its own way, dont get me wrong, but a proper flavoured meal could most certainly make me cry right now.

Im almost envious of your body..Its amazing how you were able to survive a whole month in that forest.

Yeah. For the first few days, it was desperate. I ate, drank whatever I could find just to survive, even muddy water.

While tasting the dishes , I talked about my time in Peixa forest. Just recalling those first few days made these dishes taste even better.

Whatever you could find..if youa ccidentaly ate anything that was poisoned, youd have been dead in no time you know?

That was not really a worry for me. I have a [Posion resistance] skill after all.

You sure you should be so casually telling people about your skill?

I dont mind. Barring very unique circumstances, its not a skill thatll make much of a difference in life.

Its been on my mind, but you are really a carefree guybut wait, I actually know a couple people that have the same skill as you but that doesnt mean they were completely resistant to every kind of poison though? Its closer to making your digestion stronger, or more resistant to getting drunk from alcohol, thats about it.

Wait really? But I ate all kinds of weird plants and mushrooms, and even rotten meat yet still nothing happened.

When I said that, both seemed to sense something and nodded to each other.

Se-see like I told you, he was okay even when I threw an Arryl ball straight to his face! He just got up and chased after me! I thought I had missed!

Was that the red thing? That hit me straight in the eye you know?

Youre jokingright? Arryl balls can paralyze a normal person for day at the very least! I have never heard of it simply not working.

Wait, you two are using some crazy items arent you. Wouldnt you have blinded some poor guy if it was anyone other than me?

Shocked at the new revelations from the two, I now knew that my skill was certainly not just [Posion resistance]. A faint hope that maybe it was a rare skill and not the generic thing it seemed appeared in my heart.

If even an Arryl ball had no effect, wouldnt it make the skill closer to something like [Null posion] rather than[Poison resistance]?Well, not that it increase the range of usage much more than before.

Well it helped me survive that forest and from getting robbed and blinded by you lot so its definitely got a lot more use than I thought.

I objected, but I knew he wasnt really wrong.

[Posion resistance] or [Null posion], at the end of the day, its usage was highly conditional.

I wonderanyway, what do you plan to do from here onwards?

First of all, I have to become an adventurer. Though a little, I have been trained with the sword. I should be able to make enough money to continue living at the very least.

Adventurer eh? Well, vagrants like you only get 2 options for the most part. Adventurer, or criminal.

What about you two? Do plan to stick to thieving for the rest of your lives?

On my question, the redhead stopped eating and hung her head.

Perhaps I am overstepping my boundaries but, this kind of lifestyle inst really sustainable.

I, for one, do plan to do so. Im not strong enough to become an adventurer, so all I can do is be a criminal instead, like I said. (boy)

If it wasnt me who had caught you two, youd be inside a jail right about now you know? You should think of other ways as well.

My words marked the end of any further conversation, and we simply continued to eat in silence.
