Fish, fried food, dried fruit, and then sake...
Koai, along with Snow, was enjoying food and drink at a tavern in town... or to be precise, perhaps it should be said she was enjoying watching Snow savor them.
In any case, the two, now satisfied, decided to leave the tavern.
"Thank you for the meal~... What should we do? Go straight back? Or maybe take a walk through town?"
"Shall we walk a little?"
"Yeah, let's do that."
Before returning to the inn, the two decided to take a stroll down the main street of the town.
They left the tavern and started walking in the opposite direction of their inn, but...
"It's so warm~... Whoa!"
Snow's steps were unsteady. Had she drunk too much?
"Are you all right? Maybe we should rest at the inn for a bit..."
"Sorry... Aha, I think I drank too much"
She leaned on Koai's arm, clinging to her as she apologized.
"The fish was so delicious, you know. I'm sorry."
Snow said the fish dish on the large platter was especially delicious.
If that was the case... if Snow had enjoyed herself, then Koai felt no dissatisfaction. Rather, she was simply happy... that Snow had had a good time.
"If it was delicious, that's all that matters. Let's go back and sleep for today."
Koai held Snow's hand firmly to keep her from stumbling or falling, and walked her back to the inn.
"I'm ho~me."
Her tongue wasn't working properly.
By the time they reached their bedroom at the inn, it seemed Snow's drunkenness had deepened.
