Also, Ryan is not the type of person who would just leave someone on the road and to take note of that, Kira is a woman, and he didn't have the heart to just leave her like this, even if she said that she would be fine.
Kira, on the other hand, although felt dizzy, she could tell that Ryan isn't the type of person who would leave a person in a drunken state at anywhere here and the woman wasn't fond of being treated like those delicate young ladies at the Capital city.
She is an experienced adventurer, and she had experienced countless life and death situations, she might not be strong like the revered Scarlette Overland but still, she had plenty of experience in combat fighting and she knows how to defend herself.
"Ryan Wayne…. don't treat me like those delicate young ladies that you have encountered and let me tell you this, I am an adventurer, so is you. I've experience countless hardships in my life, and I have survived so, please do me a favor and just drop me off somewhere else."
For that moment, Ryan felt conflicted because of this woman and it's his conscience for not leaving the woman alone all by herself but then again, she is right.
She is not just an ordinary woman, like Scarlette Overland. Kira Stone is an adventurer herself and has experienced countless hardships throughout her life and it's reasonable for her to think that way.
Although Ryan still contemplates on what he should do, but after that, he could only sigh and respect the woman's decision as both of them got out of the tavern and left that place.
...…..

"Phew! I need to get some rest as I need to wake up early in the morning."
Ryan muttered to himself as he got back at the inn where he made a reservation for his stay and as he reached his reserve room for the night, he went inside and then closed the door as he went straight to his bed because of exhaustion.
'To think that this would happen to me the moment I arrived here in this Empire.'
Ryan thought as he stood up and removed his clothes to change and, in a moment, he felt his ears become itchy and because of that, he rolled his eyes in annoyance.
'Great! Just great! Argh!'
He thought for a moment if he would heed its call or not but after much time of thinking then, he didn't have a choice but to answer it, lest he wanted to face its wrath.
'Actually, forget it! No matter what I do, he would always find a reason to scold me as if I'm his child or what! Tsk! We're practically the same age here and yet, he nags like some sort of an old man!'
Ryan just ignored it for more than a minute or two and after that, he thought that the vibration coming from his ears had finally stopped but after a moment, it began to vibrate once more that made him sigh in frustration.
'Couldn't I get a break with this f*cking b*stard?!'
If it were him, Ryan would just outright ignore this person and wouldn't mind being punished if he ever gone back but at the same time, he couldn't help but felt pity for this person as well.
Ryan knew pretty much about this person and his desperation that made him couldn't ignore him that much longer, although he knew that if he answered the call then, Ryan would have an earful bleeding of scolding coming from this person.
Without much further ado, he sighed once more as he touches something from his right ear and as his fingers brush through with it and came in contact…
A bright golden magic circle appeared, and the magic earrings became visible upon touching it.
In a minute that his earrings activated, a voice coming from the earrings yelled at Ryan that made him twitch his ears because the other person shouted at him.
« …. "GIVE ME ONE F*CKING REASON THAT YOU MADE ME WAITED FOR MORE THAN A MINUTE OR TWO OR ELSE, FOR NEXUS' SAKE, I'LL SKEWER YOU THE MOMENT I CAUGHT SIGHT ON YOU?! ALSO, WHERE IN THE F*CKING HELL ARE YOU RIGHT NOW…. RYLANDER?!" …. »
'Ah! Seriously? I want to remind this person that I am wearing the communication earrings and for him to suddenly shout like this, it makes me… Argh! Forget it! Let's just ignore it for now.'
Ryan thought as he held his temple for an incoming headache coming from a certain person on the other side of the call.
Ryan, or Rylander, makes a grim expression as he heard the familiar commanding tone coming from the person speaking to him through the communication earrings that he is wearing.
He took a deep breath to calm himself, not to shout back at this person and maintain his composure as he spoke.
"First of all, I didn't mean to leave you hanging for a minute or two because I'm busy with other important matters and secondly, would you please stop shouting! I'm wearing a communication earring, if you remember!"
« …. "WHY YOU—" …. »
"Also, you gave me a task to find someone, and I need to take some drastic measures to disguise in order not to expose myself in the process. Do you think I have the time to chat with you?"
He nonchalantly said and rolled his eyes in the process as if the person he was speaking of was not his master at all.
'I don't want to deal with his tantrums at all! Tsk! He should be thankful that I'm the only person who could deal with his temper since most of his other subordinates couldn't even look at this b*stard's eyes without facing its wrath.'
Rylander knew that he would receive punishment when he returns but for now, he would be petty for once since Rylander had a little grudge against this person.
