Castle Greystone was finally in sight.
After three days of rain, mud, and bad roads, it looked almost beautiful.
“Tell me we're staying there tonight,” said Leo.
“We're not,” Serena replied.
“Tomorrow, then?”
“Nope.”
Leo groaned.
“Why does every quest take us farther away from a proper bed?”
“Because adventurers never choose the easy road.”
“Then adventurers are idiots.”
Serena laughed.
“And yet you're still here.”
Leo opened his mouth to reply.
Then both of them fell silent.
The gates of Castle Greystone were slowly opening.

訳文
ようやく、グレイストーン城が見えてきた。
三日間、雨と泥と悪路に苦しんだ末に見た城は、美しくさえ見えた。
「なぁ、今夜はあそこに泊まるんだよな」レオは言った。
「泊まらない」セレーナは答えた。
「じゃあ、明日？」
「それも無理」
レオは不満げに唸った。
「なんでクエストのたびにまともなベッドからどんどん遠ざかっていくんだ？」
「冒険者は楽な道を選ばないもの」
「それなら、冒険者ってのは馬鹿ばっかりだな」
セレーナは笑った。
「それでもまだここにいるのね」
レオが言い返そうと口を開いた。
その瞬間、二人は同時に黙り込んだ。
グレイストーン城の門が、ゆっくりと開いていった。
