A Certain Pub's Sequel (とある酒場の後日談), SS from DanMachi Light Novel Volume 5
A night had passed since Ryuu returned from the 18th Floor. After rescuing Bell and the others, she had returned to the Hostess of Fertility.
"You're pretty unlucky to have to work so soon after coming back"
"That's not it, Lunoire. This is my actual job, I can't be negligent about it"
"You're really serious...by the way, Mama Mia was in a bad mood after you left, so you should probably stay away from her for a while"
Early that morning, as Ryuu was preparing the pub while talking with Lunoire and Arnya, she knew she had to apologize to Mia. She knew she caused trouble for Lunoire and the others as well.
Immediately after she returned, Ryuu reported Bell and the others' return to Syr. She felt like she was able to repay her debt of gratitude a little and was rewarded for her work by seeing Syr cry tears of joy.
"So, did things progress between you and the boy?"
With a mysterious sound effect, a smirking Chloe suddenly appeared.
"Progress?"
"Don't play innocent, don't play innocent. With the situation being what it is, even a serious person like you would make a mistake when you see the weakened boy and feel like you need to do something. Mouth to mouth resuscitation...or maybe warming him up with your body?"
The Cat People girl began to skillfully slap Ryuu's waist with her tail. Chloe, with a vulgar smile similar to the Gods, continued.
"Did he see you naked?"
"-How did you know!?"
Ryuu turned around with great force, her cheeks red from embarrassment.
Seeing this, Lunoire, Arnya, and Chloe stood there speechless with their mouths half open.
"U-Uh...was I actually correct?"
As Chloe tilted her head and forced a laugh, Ryuu realized that she had dug her own grave.
Soon after, Lunoire and the others screamed when they saw something.
"Huh...so Bell-san saw Ryuu naked?"
Syr, with a smile on her face, had come out of the kitchen with Bell's usual lunch.
While Ryuu was frozen by the pressure from her smile, a coworker came to inform them of Bell's arrival.
"I'm coming. Bell-san, there's something I want to talk to you about"
"Stop, Syr! Don't be rash!"
Ryuu frantically chased after her, trying to explain the situation.
Unfortunately, she was too late as the boy's scream sounded in the air.
