604 Behind the Unspoken Scene
I silently started working my way on the food. To escape reality of course.
"My? Have I been turned down?"
Looks like Selram took my sudden action negatively.
But I've made up my mind already.
"I don't mind taking your request... Ah, this is good stuff... Gulp."
"Eh? I was sure you were going to refuse considering the way you look..."
"Ah, that's my problem, nothing to do with yours, don't mind me... Gulp, delish."
"Err? Then may we work out the detail and decide on your departure time?"
She's pushing the talk forward while I haven't changed my mind.
Our discussion was over by the time we finished our meal. Or more like me by myself eating. I was binge eating.
I told her that I don't mind going tomorrow to which she responded by immediately starting the prep work.
I've had enough touring of this city. I watched three packed matches and all too. Staying here any longer is only gonna generate more problematic events.
Please no more. I'm tired.
Tomorrow my guide will come fetch me in my room. Then it's time to depart.
All that's left is to go to bed now that I'm full. I told Selram that and got up my seat.
"Good night."
I left the private room after saying that. I didn't turn around when Selram said 'Have a good dream', holding down my full belly on the way back to my room.

"Haa~ that was nerve wracking. My back has been tingling all this time. Maybe him saying no would have been better for me? But it would be really bad if we don't do something about that threat quickly. And yet, we won't profit off it if other party gets their hands on it. Ah, right, how's the magic beast's movement like? Any drastic change?"
A staff member approached and responded to Selram.
"Ma'am. It launched an attack on a nearby village but as we had evacuated the village beforehand, there was no casualty. Nobody has been harmed so far due to our prompt responses."
"We've been leaving it alone all these years even after tracking that beast down. We can finally hunt it down. I'm grateful for the chance it gave us to meet our cutie pie but it's still a harmful beast at the end of the day. We can't leave it be any longer."
This beast was the one Kyaro ran away from. Selram sent a scout unit the day after she came across Kyaro several years ago. She has been monitoring the beast all this time.
Thanks to her action, they have been managing to minimize casualty caused by this beast by taking action whenever it got close to a village.
Yet there was no avoiding victims coming out. As the beast roamed around mountains and forests, some unlucky souls who were looking for natural harvest would encounter it.
And thus the beast gained a taste of human flesh.
Such beasts would proactively look and hunt for humans.
It has gotten more intense as of late.
One day, it even managed to sniff out their scout unit and almost got them killed.
Fortunately they carried an item that could act as a smokescreen and got away safely.
Usually the beast never tried to hunt for the scout unit even after it found them as long as they were far apart.
Yet as of late, this beast had a behavioral shift and started to proactively hunt for the scout unit.
"We cannot keep it up any longer. It has to be dealt with as soon as possible. And, has there been a leakage?"
"Ma'am, there is none. No company has grasped an intel on this matter, nor has the government watchdog."
"Right otherwise they would have made a big deal out of it. We would have noticed movement if other company caught a wind of this too. Thank you, you may go back."
After dismissing her staff, Selram poured a small glass to half with a strong alcoholic drink and gulped it down.
All the important points have been taken care of during this meal. All she needs to do now is to see them off tomorrow and wait for the results.
