Chapter 76
High-class inn, Hotel Alando .
Befitting of its name as a high-class inn, the stable was also awfully pompous .
Everything from the railing at the signboard, which had the symbol of a horse drawn on it, to the surrounding fences for the horses is uniformly hued in a beige colour .
After entrusting Popobumu to the stable, I walk on a stone-paved path which leads to the front door .
This place is the foyer?
It’s an entrance with a door that has glass windows which are divided by a cross .
The knob was made with a stylish silver pearl-of-mother inlay at the hinge .
I enter the high-class inn by pushing against both glass doors possessing a hinge .
Rollo climbs onto my shoulder and crawls into my hood .
There’s a hall with a spacious and deep interior . The reception is located at the centre .
The floor is covered in gorgeous, white, high-class stones .
It looks like there are nobles are residing here, but there are even guests that might be considered to be adventurers visible .
Once I surveyed the situation in the vicinity by restlessly looking around at the entrance, a hotel-keeper, who wore a hat came to address me .
“Dear guest, wele . Please proceed to the centre . ”
I’m greeted with a smile .
After maintaining an angle of lowering his head to bow, he raises his face .
What polite conduct .
This place reminds me somewhat of Japan .
Ah, that reminds me, I wonder whether it’s alright to bring a pet?
For the time being I will try to confirm that at the reception .
I nodded to the inn-keeper while wearing an awkward smile and headed to the reception in the centre .
“Wele, dear guest . ”
“I want to stay for a while, but is it possible to keep a familiar, or rather a pet at this place?” (Shuuya)
“Yes, that’s fine . How big is that pet?”
“Nya . ” (Rollo)
Making an appearance on my shoulder from within the hood, it’s Rollo .
“Around this big . ” (Shuuya)
The receptionist nodded while showing a smile of acceptance after seeing the black cat .
“I see… it will be fine if you can do us the favour of treating the furniture carefully . Well then, one night with meals costs 8 silver coins . 10 silver coins with the extra option . ”
It was okay . The price is after all that of a high-class inn .
If it’s 30 days… that will be 240 silver coins, huh?
There is something that seems to be a calender next to the acceptance fee .
Today is the 59th day of spring .
There are 31 days remaining until the season of summer, … 248 silver coins .
Let’s pay for the period of 31 days until summer plus 10 days on top, adding up to 41 days .
Lastly, what’s the extra option, I wonder .
“What’s this extra option?” (Shuuya)
“The meals will be high-class cuisine and a “courtesan” will attend to you . There’s also a system of nominating one, but that will be available for you starting with the next time . ”
A courtesan! I want to try that out .
“Well then, I’d like to stay for 41 days with the extra option added for just the first day . ” (Shuuya)
“It’s an extended period of time . In that case the extra option during that time will be free of charge . Please utilize the dining hall on the second floor freely . Then, please wait for a little moment as I will carry out the formalities . ”
Is that fine? For it to be free of charge?
Is it because the receptionist is calculating? They have withdrawn to the back .
Calculating with 8 silver coins per day… it costs 328 silver coins .
I placed three silver plates, which I retrieved from within my item box, on top of the reception table in advance .
Next I place plenty of silver coins, which exceeded 200 coins, there with a clinking sound .
Did they finish the calculation? The receptionist came back .
He stayed calm even after seeing my item box .
“The costs will be 328 silver coins . ”
“… It’s just right with this, I think?” (Shuuya)
“… I see . You are quick at calculating…”
The male receptionist moves his eyebrows slightly in surprise and looks at me .
He calculated by using several connected metal rods or a calculation tool with his utmost effort .
“… Certainly . Well then, please sign your name over here . ”
The names of the guests were written in a row in the registry on the reception desk .
I write my real name instead of an alias in the entry field .
“I’m done . ” (Shuuya)
“Do you have any wishes regarding your room?”
“On the first floor . ” (Shuuya)
“Yes . Then, at the right end of the first floor, the Sword Room No . 10 is empty . Is that alright with you?”
“That place is fine . ” (Shuuya)
“Understood . Here’s the key . ”
I was given the key .
“Then, please wait a moment as you will be guided by the clerk in charge . ”
I waited for a little while in front of the reception .
My rented room is the Sword Room No . 10 .
That’s easy to understand as there’s an information board installed on top of the reception desk .
“Sword room”, “Shield room” and such were drawn on it with arrows attached .
I believe I will know the way even without a guiding clerk, but… while I was pondering about such stuff, the guiding clerk approached .
“Dear guest, I shall lead the way . ”
The guiding clerk starts to walk after giving a light bow .
Besides the reception in the hall, on the right hand side close to the front door, there was the dining hall’s large entrance which was situated between a pair of small ox statues made out of brass .
Advancing towards the right after leaving the reception, the guiding clerk proceeds into the inner part of the hall .
The stairway leading to the second floor of the inn was on the inner left of the reception .
… The toilet is here?
“N-Nya . ” (Rollo)
Then Rollo appears from within the hood which is at my head’s back and purrs .
“Rollo, you want to pee? Currently we are heading to our room though . ” (Shuuya)
Rollo didn’t want to pee but to stare at the back of the hotel-keeper, who is leading us, by placing her head on my shoulder after yawning .
Ah, does the pattern like a long string on the back of the hotel-keeper catch her eyes?
However, the way is really easy to understand because the guiding board with arrows, which was also at the reception, is installed on the ceiling and the side of the walls .
As if natural, the guiding clerk walked without looking at the guiding boards .
We turn at a corner of the hall’s inner right and follow the corridor .
The corridor has a big width, too . The laid-out stones are illuminated by light and have changed into a grey tone .
The No . 10 room is at the end .
Obvious signs of the room numbers are visible in the corridor .
Found it . That place, huh?
We have arrived at the last room .
Using the key, the guiding clerk opened the door of the No . 10 room .
“Here we go, please enter . ”
“Yes . ” (Shuuya)
“Dear guest, once you place your laundry in this container, it will be washed by the person in charge every morning . Please tell us if you have any other requests . ”
There is certainly a wooden box in front of the room .
It seems to be for laundry . How convenient .
“Nothing in particular . ” (Shuuya)
The guiding clerk bows at that moment, turns around and returns to the corridor .
It appears that something like a tip isn’t necessary .
Immediately I enter room No . 10 .
It’s spacious . The size of this side of the room is at least 10 tatami mats, I guess?
A huge light brown round table and chairs are in the middle where beautiful, rouge floorboards are laid out .
A plate filled with plenty of fruits stood on top of that table and a luxurious water jug, albeit simple, was placed on a round plate tile .
Paintings of Holkerbaum’s scenery are lining up on the walls .
I head into the inner part of the room while touching the huge, round table .
The room located inside is spacious as well . The tidy windows of the room have curtains made out of extravagant fabric .
There were three beds, or rather, western-styled beds .
As expected, they don’t have the gorgeousness of having canopies attached to them .
Three small side tables, which had jars of water on them and turned-off lamps placed on top, are lining up vertically to the beds .
It’s like day and night in parison to the inn at Hekatrail where I stayed at .
“Nnnh, nya~ . ” (Rollo)
Rollo immediately dives into a soft-looking bed .
She didn’t bounce up and down like usual .
The springs of this bed are amazing? It looks like the impact gets absorbed .
I wanted to dive into the soft-looking bed as well, but first I lower my rucksack, remove my breast belt and take off the overcoat .
Since there were several mannequins for decorating with clothes, I hang the breast belt and overcoat there .
Removing the greaves on the feet and Danbara Kyuss around the waist, pulling out my fingers from the gloves and taking off the arm guard Liabreath which had a purple dragon on the left arm, I carefully place those on the floorboards .
Sitting down on the bed in my lightened state, I savoured the soft sensation with my butt .
It’s a fluffy bed which possesses a sensation of a sudden *munyuu* .
You can’t call it a waterbed, but it possesses a nice feeling of being gentle .
Without any particular meaning, I play by rolling around on the bed .
It doesn’t matter that I’m bumping into Rollo .
At the time when I was playing and rolling around, something white frilly entered my inverted field of vision .
The curtains?
Standing up at the side of the bed’s edge, I open the white, frilly curtains .
Since there was a wooden window installed, the door can be opened fully by sliding it open to the side .
Hyu~, there’s a large veranda?
It’s a veranda made out of deep red planks .
There’s even a proper drain hole for water on the veranda’s floor .
Sideways there was a large, light brown bucket . A large bucket with a solid hoop attached .
As it’s a large bucket for bathing, it’s apparently possible to swim in it .
However, the outside scenery is lacking .
You can only see a bit of the rear garden .
Moreover, the laundry is blocking the view…
My eyes met with the female employee who wore a platok* on her head while drying the laundry . (T/N: Traditional headgear worn by Russian women independent of seasons, supposedly)
The girl shows a pleasant smile .
I returned to the room after smiling back at her .
As this place is on the first floor, it can’t be helped .
Well then, shall I clean and polish the ancient dragon armour?
It’s still quite clean, but… I pick up the purple ancient dragon armour while sitting in a corner of the bed, wipe it carefully and line up the armour pieces on the floor after having polished them in order .
“With this, all of them are done”, stretching my spinal muscles on the bed, I rest while lying spread eagle .
What to do… until eating time . I will enter the bath after staying here for a bit longer?
Before that .
“[Open] . ” (Shuuya) (T/N: English word in the raw here, so put it in brackets)
I fiddle with the item box .
I operate the bracelet type item box to access the puter with a *Pippoopaa* .
I select the soap and leather cloth I bought in 【Hekatrail】 and take them out .
On the occasion, I get the ancient dragon knife for shaving as well .
After I filled the large bucket by pouring hot water into it with life magic, I take off all my clothes .
Swinging my hips without any meaning, my balls are dangling .
It felt like Rollo watched me with strange eyes, but without minding it, I slowly submerge myself in the hot water starting with the feet .
Rollo came next to me as well .
While putting her forepaw on top of the bucket, she delivers a paw punch at the water’s surface like usual .
“Rollo, e in without playing around . ” (Shuuya)
“Nyaa . ” (Rollo)
After purring once, she jumps into the swaying water surface of the large bucket .
A rebound of water spraying splashes around and I end up having my face covered by water .
— Puha, once again she leapt in all of a sudden .
“That’s sudden . ” (Shuuya)
Rollo ignores me… dives underwater and swims unhindered while fully enjoying the size of the large bucket .
Before realizing it myself, I hate her being skilled at swimming .
Her small face, which is properly blocking her ears, is still cute though .
While watching the appearance of the swimming Rollo, I pletely submerge in the water .
— Fuu .
Suddenly I thought of a question; Water that has been created with this life magic, is that pure water?
Since I wasn’t overly aware of it until now, I try drinking while tasting it .
Opening my mouth, water tries to pour in .
Mmh~ it has no taste . Does the taste change depending on the image?
There’s no change . If it bees sweet with the taste of sugar or such, the path of a major sugar dealer would open up here . But, well, it satisfies my dry throat .
… Rather than such stuff, tomorrow is the meeting with the feudal lord .
I don’t even know the name of the feudal lord . Well, it seems like a courtesan will e at the time of eating . Won’t it be fine if I ask about the name of the feudal lord at that time?
Let’s check my abilities .
