"Hey, you guys, what's the deal with bullying the old village chief?"
Sure enough, a gold-ranked adventurer group stood up and swiftly drove away the mercenary troop.
Compared to this small episode, Shami was more attentive to the situation on the other side of the village.
"Tavern owner, could you book us a lodge? We've traveled all the way from the Aoja Kingdom and are quite exhausted."
At this moment, near the tavern, an adventurer group had stopped the tavern owner, Dire.
Dire apologized helplessly.
"Sorry, there's currently no extra accommodation in the village. Maybe you could camp outside instead."
"But isn't there an empty inn over there?"
A girl dressed as a swordsman pointed to a nearby inn.
"Oh, that place belongs to the villager Shami. After buying the inn, she just vanished, and no one knows where she's gone."
Shami blinked.
"Oh right, I have a property in the village!"
