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。
雨やぬかるみ、過酷な道が三日も続いた後に見ると、その姿は美しいと言っていいほどだった。
「今夜はあそこに泊まると言ってくれ」レオが言った。
「泊まらないわよ」セレナは答えた。
「じゃあ、明日は？」
「無理ね」
レオはうめいた。
「冒険にでるたび、まともな寝床にありつけなくなるのはなんでなんだ？」
「冒険者とは、楽な道のりを決して選ばないものだから」
「なら、冒険者なんてバカ野郎だ」
セレナは笑った。
「そう言うわりには、まだここにいるのね」
レオは言い返そうと口を開けた。
次の瞬間、二人とも黙り込んだ。
グレイストーン城の門が、ゆっくりと開き始めていた。
