After conquering the tower, we returned to the lodging where we had originally stayed.

We planned to rest our weary bodies before heading back to the academy.

And on the first night after conquering the tower, a grand festival erupted in the city surrounding Tarros's Tower.

In the town square, various drinks and foods gathered as the townspeople danced and raised their glasses in celebration.

Our party, the main heroes of the festival, enjoyed a small banquet in the restaurant of our lodging rather than the plaza.

“Ken Feinstein! Ken Feinstein!”

“Your voices are too quiet, you guys—!!”

“Uooooooo—!!”

Given that the tower-conquering party was celebrated as heroes, the atmosphere was lively, and if we had celebrated in the plaza, I would have lost my sanity.

However, the restaurant wasn’t any quieter.

In fact, this place, packed with adventurers, might have been even louder than the townspeople.

I felt as though I had misjudged the situation a bit.

“… And just when it felt like it was all over…!! Ken bursts out from the monument, pouring forth monsters…!!”

“Oooooo—!!”

By the way, the one passionately spreading our adventure story was none other than the drunken Emily.

Caught up in the raised voices and the lively atmosphere, our protagonist, having indulged in quite a bit of drink, was gleefully recounting my heroics to the people.

It felt like there might have been a bit of embellishment involved.

“Hehe, Ken, are you eating enough? You should eat this too….”

“Ken, this is delicious too. Come on, try it quickly.”

Raphaen and Mary were also quite tipsy, trying to feed me food as enthusiastically as Emily.

Raphaen was clearly intent on fattening me up, while it seemed like Mary had entered into some kind of competitive stance with her.@@novelbin@@

“Ugh, munch munch.”

And here I was, in the center of this ruckus, eating the food they offered.

‘… This atmosphere is awkward.’

I didn’t particularly dislike banquets.

I enjoyed a joyful atmosphere and appreciated a little intoxication.

But the reason this space felt awkward was….

“Hahaha—! Ken! Who would have thought that a jewel was hidden beneath that layer of fat!”

“Wow! Considering Ken’s exploits, I can understand this appearance!”

“How about it? I know a lovely adventurer; should I introduce you? …Wha—?!”

“Excuse me, what did you just say?”

“S-Sorry! Let go of me! I’m sorry!!”

“Raphaen… please, I might break your arm….”

“Understood.”

“Gwaaaaaah—!!”

In this way, people swarmed around me, repeatedly calling my name and treating me like a hero.
