Willow's eyebrow twitched.
What kind of empire didn't have a tavern?
Not a single one despite the land this place encompassed?
...Even small villages would have at least one. Maybe even a couple.
Willow laughed awkwardly.
"Haha... I must be mistaken in terms of what a tavern is."
The young man raised an eyebrow, but nodded after a bit of thought.
"I guess..."
He proceeded to walk past them, already forgetting about their existence.
Willow sighed.
"This is going to be difficult. How am I supposed to..."
She shook her head.
"One step at a time. That's the only thing left."
Apollo looked at Willow curiously.
"Why is it bad that there are no taverns?"
Willow smiled bitterly.
