"Simon-san is there anything you want to ask me?"
Simon seemed to think but he chose to say it "it's not what Tanjiro really wants to invite you into our family because I feel you will be very great in the future and likely be able to defeat the monsters in our village"
"monsters"
"Tanjiro you know we're from a beltane country, although we call it a country maybe just as wide as a large village, our country is quite closed even the neighboring country calls it a fog state" Tanjiro sees others speechless including Roxy who becomes silent as well as Simon begins to tell him about his abode "long ago all the inhabitants of our country had a chronic disease that could only be cured by the water source of life, even we also experienced it because the disease still exists today, the reason we can be fine is because we drink the water of life we carry"
"..." hearing Simon's story, Tanjiro could only fall silent and allow him to continue his story.
"but a few centuries ago a monster that we call the king of swamps appeared and entered into the center of the living water source which made the water source of life poisonous, fortunately the god Bheara came to the beltane and found a way to seal it and to keep the swamp king asleep in the seal we had to make an offering to make a special magic to keep the swamp king asleep"
"we were planning to defeat the swamp king and our goal of coming to the city of Orario was to find help that would help us defeat the swamp king"
"...."
"no need to face like that Tanjiro, I won't force you into our troubles but honestly in my heart I still want to have a partner like you"
"thank you so much simon-san, if I could help anything else I would definitely do it"
Hearing Tanjiro's reply they were seen smiling and returning excited
"hahahaha that's why I like people like you Tanjiro"
"so Simon-san did you manage to get help" Tanjiro asked Simon
"yes we managed to get help, we sold some of our items to put up missions in the guild and we instead managed to get help from the hunter family who happened to meet with our entourage"
"so, thank goodness.anoo.simon-san if I can come with you guys" Tanjiro asked wanting to help them "I'll do anything, I just want to help"
"Tanjiro I really appreciate that but our opponent is very dangerous I don't recommend him" Simon replied
"Simon after you told me the story about us and then you refused Tanjiro's help wasn't you a little disrespectful" the unexpected reply came out of Roxy.
"no, I just feel like if Tanjiro joins our family that way it will only take a few years and maybe he will become a strong fighter, you see the ability he has even without the blessing of a god when fighting I can feel like a level 2 experienced" he added to Roxy "Tanjiro I feel you'll grow up great I'm sure you can beat the swamp king, but you're the one I don't think is enough now, so you don't have to take part in this dangerous expedition-"
As Simon continues to babble Tanjiro cuts him off until he stops talking "simon-san do you intend to fight to lose?"
Hearing that Simon became silent even Roxy was the same.
"i've had a fight where I almost lost my life, our Simon-san definitely won all we need to do is just keep trying and fighting" Tanjiro replied with a smile on Simon.
................
After a long conversation, Simon will finally invite Tanjiro to also join the expedition hunting King Swamp in Beltane his hometown.
"so Tanjiro how are we going to pick you up, we plan on staying another day and the family that will help us will also join us the day after monsterphilia" Simon asked Tanjiro how he would pick up Tanjiro at his departure, this was because the eater they lived in was not close together.
"hmm.I don't know, I'll ask you a minute" since we were currently having breakfast at the inn that Simon and the others were staying at so Simon just went over to the counter and asked if there were any empty rooms in this place.
Tanjirobisa saw Simon talking to the receptionist and some time he came back and said "panjiro a pity but in this inn the rooms are full"
"i understand simon-san, it's okay" Tanjiro replied.
"though unfortunate but according to the receptionist he said that not far from here there was an inn belonging to his friend who happened to be the tenant of his room was found dead in the dungeon yesterday afternoon so the place was empty.
"well" though it sounds like good news that Tanjiro is likely getting a room, but bad news about the death of the previous tenant is much more affecting the tanjiro.
'someone had died inside the dungeon, I knew the place was dangerous after Fanett-san explained it yesterday, but chose to open the Dungeon to the public like that even though they knew the dangers inside...it seems like the desire to be strong is what is ingrained people in this world think?' tanjiro thought while concluding that, in this world greatly uphold the value of power.
"sanjiro"
When the dreamy tanjiro arrives Simon calls him and makes Tanjiro wake up from his daydream.
"sorry Simon-san I'm a little out of my mind"
"no problem, so how about tanjiro? want to try to see the inn"
"of course" After finishing their breakfast, Tanjirohanya went along with Simon while the others went to finish their busy lives.
***
Not far from the inn that simon lived in was probably only about 700 meters away now Simon and Tanjiro were standing right in an inn that was told by the receptionist before.
In front of the door was seen the name of the inn was profit black and when the entrance was followed by Simon, Tanjirodam immediately approached the receptionist behind the counter who was in the lobby of the inn.
"excuse me I want to know if I can stay here for 2 days" Tanjiro asked the female receptionist in front of him.
"it just so happened to be an empty room" after telling Tanjiro that there were empty rooms to be occupied, the woman's receptionist began explaining the cost of the stay and the food there.
After agreeing with the cost of lodging, Tanjiro was invited to go see the room on the second floor, after looking into the room, tanjiro is satisfied with the clean interior of the room and Tanjiro is told that the inn provides a bathing place by paying some additional valis and of course Tanjiro is happy to hear it.
As the trip down to the inn lobby arrived Simon asked the receptionist about the news stating that the room was previously occupied by someone who was rumored to have died in the dungeon
"sorry sir, where do you know" the receptionist asked Simon.
"i heard it from Silvia" Simon replied, hearing their conversation, feeling that the Silvia Simon mentioned was probably the receptionist at the inn where Simon was staying.
"huh.." heard a sigh from the woman in front of him and he told the person who was rumored to have died "the news is true, if not the wrong name of the person is Reymond"
"Eh?"
