Level One? On your own, I might add.”
    “Who in their right mind would try something that stupid?”
    Eyes glinting at me from every direction, I weave my way through the maze of tables as quickly as possible. The air around me is swirling with hushed whispers.
    Being the center of attention like this is overwhelming! I must look like a criminal or something. A man stops talking on the spot when my eyes happen to meet his.
    With ice flowing in my veins, I duck down as low as possible and quickly escape to my destination.
    “You’ve become the talk of the town, Mr. Bell.”
    “R-really? I can’t relax anymore…Even on my way here, I was chased around the city by a group of gods…”
    “That is the fate of all adventurers who become known. You are not being singled out, Bell. Please put up with it for the time being.”
    I can feel all the muscles in my face droop. I must look pretty funny because Lilly’s trying hard not to laugh at me.
    I scratch the back of my neck with my left hand out of habit, making small bows to everyone in turn.
    “Well, now that Bell is here, let’s get this thing started, shall we?”
    “Um, Syr and Lyu, are you sure it’s okay for you guys to be here with the bar like this…?”
    “‘I’ll lend ’im the two of ya. Make sure he’s well fed’ was Mama Mia’s instruction. That and ‘spend yer cash.’”
    Hearing Lyu imitate the owner’s—Mia’s—accent in her calm voice makes me chuckle to myself.
    As for Mia, I look over my shoulder to see her standing behind the bar, waving her hand and giving me a hearty smile. Must be her way of telling me to live it up tonight.
    It’s not long before we say “Cheers!” and clink our glasses together.
    Mia suggests that I try ale for the first time, being a special occasion and all. For now, I’ve got a small jug of the stuff in front of me.
    Syr’s holding a citrusy cocktail, Lilly’s gotten sick of ale so she’s drinking fruit juice, and Lyu refuses to drink anything except for water. Wait a second…Syr and I are the only ones drinking alcohol?
    As soon as food starts arriving at our table, all the eyes around the bar finally turn away. Such a relief! Ahnya and Chloe drop by our table a few times for some friendly banter and we start to have a genuinely good time.
    I know that Lilly and Lyu have a little bit of bad blood from an incident when Lilly was still a thief, but it’s never come up, and Lilly is laughing and looks like she’s having a great time. Syr is smiling ear to ear, while Lyu is responding to their questions as seriously as ever.
    I wonder if something happened before I got here. I keep catching Lilly looking at me out of the corner of her eye.
    “Now, Bell, drink lots and lots. You’re the star of the show tonight. Or maybe, would you like something to eat?”
    “T-thank you…”
    Suddenly Syr is at my side, waiting on me hand and foot.
    Getting me more ale, loading up my plate with food, filling my jug, she’s zipping around all over the place. And for some reason, Lilly’s usual smile is scary.
    Even though I’m feeling kind of awkward, Syr looks like she’s enjoying herself.
    “I could be wrong…but you seem to be in a very good mood, Syr.”
    “Do you really think so?”
    I think she blushed a little bit just now. I can’t tell anymore because she’s hiding her cheek with her hand and giggling behind her shoulder like someone’s tickling her.
    “It might be a bit bold of me to say this but…I feel like I helped you when I gave you that book. And thinking about that makes me, I don’t know, happy.”
    She must be talking about the grimoire. She won’t take her warm gaze off of me.
    Our eyes meet and she smiles even wider. It’s almost intimidating.
    The muscles in my face are locked in place. What does it look like right now?
    “If I may say, Mr. Cranell, congratulations to you. To think that you would be able to level up on your own…I seem to have underestimated you.”
    “I-it’s
