When Roland returned to the inn, Galvis, who had gone to "repair" the carriage wheel, had just gotten back as well.
At that moment, the Minstrel was frantically explaining something to Avril, a look of utter embarrassment on his face.
Seeing Roland, Galvis scrambled behind him as if clutching a lifeline and pleaded in a hushed voice.
"Roland, I know I was wrong! I'll never exaggerate our adventures again... So..."
He peeked at the Short Bow clutched in the Elf Maiden's hand and the playful glint in her eyes, and couldn't help but shudder.
"This business about Avril training me... can we just... drop it?"
"Heh heh..."
Seeing the Minstrel's mouse-caught-by-a-cat expression, Roland couldn't help but chuckle before clapping his hands.
"Alright, Avril, stop scaring Galvis. Go get Teresa. We need to discuss whether we're going to get certified by the Adventurer's Guild."
At Roland's words, Avril finally dropped her teasing expression.
