The sudden appearance of someone unexpected made me feel a little thrown off.

I guessed that she had probably achieved that goal and was now working as an adventurer.

It was at that moment the atmosphere in the inn, which had been dry and lifeless, seemed to suddenly freeze. I noticed that a few adventurers recognized Nikki.

"Tch, damn it. Looks like that bastard joined too..."
