Chapter 251: Great heights of a myriad year chinese restaurant
TL: Hi guys, a small clarification here that I didn’t notice before.
I have actually been linking the words I considered were difficult terms, like for example; the Maasai people. I actually linked it to a wikipedia site. But people began asking about the Maasai people, so I checked, and the link was indeed there, but it was so stealth that no one would actually notice!!
I have been doing this for almost 10 maybe 20 chapters already, and I didn’t even notice! Omg...
Truly sorry about that.
I will check the past chapters to see if there’s any links and I will add an underline so it is more visible to know.
“Are we really going to stay the night here?” (Iroha)
Iroha-chan is shocked.
No well, I am of the sa sentint though.
Even within this place where inns are located, this one is clearly on a whole different level.
Just like in Zenno at the borders, there’s a really unsuitable inn for adventurers right in front of us.
If we are talking specifically how different it is from the others, it is as if this area was organized with this inn as its core.
It is not like the inn is truly at the center, but it is more like, the first one to be here was this one, and later, the surroundings developed with it.
I have seen towns developing quite a lot in Asora, so I have been able to sowhat tell this kind of things.
In other words, it is a well-established place.
Its aura is also incredible.
It is an appearance that one can’t enter alone.
I heard that they had already gotten an inn, but whether it is Beren, Hokuto, or Shii, I am pretty impressed that they were able to decide on staying in this place.
I only have vague mories of it, but this outward appearance is like that of a certain main building of a famous hot spring establishnt that got even bigger, and created many other buildings at its surroundings.
It is completely made of wood, and that part does feel nostalgic.
But to think they would be able to remodel it so much. Honestly speaking, it feels like that one movie where you are spirited away and Gods go there to take hot spring breaks.
“Hoh~, Shii has an eye for inns-ja na.” (Tomoe)
“Looks like a place we can relax more than in Mizuha-desu wa.” (Mio)
Seriously?
Even though I am just beginning to think a single-sized business hotel room would not be bad. I am still on the ntality that if there’s a big bath in their basent or their highest floor, I would consider it a treasure.
And yet, why is it that these inhuman two and the Forest Oni are more used to high-class inns?
In my case, at that carriage we used in our journey, I would have been able to rest comfortably with a single pillow there.
“Senjin Banrai Hanten. It is without doubt the number one inn in Kannaoi. I have never stayed in this place...” (Iroha)
If I’m not mistaken, the sign says *Chihiro Manrai Hanten*.
Restaurant? Wait, this is a chinese restaurant?
Isn’t that where inn or ryokan is supposed to be written?
I also thought of sothing pointless like, why isn’t it ‘myriad custors’ instead.
“The rooms, baths, food, service that responds to what the custor wants; of course, the price cos with it as well. Anyone in Kannaoi acknowledges this as the best inn-desu.” (Iroha)
“T-That much?” (Makoto)
They have a service that responds to what the custors want? What’s that, that’s scary.
Do they have concierges as well?
Maybe they have exclusive officials in the guest room?
I want to be left alone though.
But Iroha-chan nods with a serious face.
I have not spoken to Shougetsu-san about what we should do from here on, but this girl, is it okay not to bring her back ho?
For so reason, her voice is shaking, and yet, her eyes are sparkling.
She is already fully decided to stay.
Well, we do have the money.
There’s no problem even if we add one kid.
If I look at the price, I will most likely have a stroke, so I won’t look at it and I won’t ask. I will leave the paying to soone else.
I am still not used to paying such large sums of money.
I just can’t get used to that sensation.
“It is the oldest and highest class ryokan in Kannaoi that possesses several legends-na no desu. There’s one legend that says a certain wealthy man wanted to see the vegetable garden that is at the 3rd underground floor of the labyrinth, and in the next day, an adventurer party escorted the wealthy man’s family all the way there unscathed.” (Iroha)
...
That’s on a whole different level from exclusive officials in the guest room.
Well...it is obviously sothing that the inn arranged after the unreasonable words of the idiotic rich man, but a service that brings you all the way to the labyrinth?
Could it be, is it that?
The kind of business that doesn’t say no to the custors? Do they have so sort of policy that slls 100% of unreasonableness?
The character of Lorel Union...I have to recognize it.
It slls of the Wise.
It is a way of thinking that stinks of Japanese.
The feeling as if they are putting their lives on the line for this service.
There’s also the matter with Root’s husband, the legendary swordsman, Iori-san, was it?
It wouldn’t be any strange that Japanese people are involved in this.
But, why chinese restaurant?
What a mystery.
“I have heard that there’s a secret nu only few people know of. That al made from rice, oil, and egg is a delicacy that would make anyone that has eaten it to co here again.” (Iroha)
What kind of fried rice is that?
Also, isn’t it the one that you can put things like roast pork fillet, lettuce, shrimps, and well, all kinds of things, and season it with salt, pepper, and soy sauce?
It’s been awhile, now I kinda want to make it.
When I was in Japan, we rotated the turns and I sotis I made it, and yet, for so reason, I have forgotten it until now.
“A delicacy huh. I see, a delicacy...” (Mio)
Mio’s eyes were shining suspiciously.
Her aim is clear with a glance.
“But only that dish is not in the nu, and only the ones who know the na of it have the qualifications to order it, or so it seems-desu. Truly a legendary dish. I also like rice food, so it is sothing I would like to eat at least once.” (Iroha)
Iroha-chan goes ‘Umu umu’ as she nods widely.
From the corner of her mouth, I could see sothing shining faintly, or maybe I don’t see it, yeah, I don’t.
But in my mind, the only possibility this legend can be is fried rice.
This place being a chinese restaurant also feels like it is true now.
Lorel’s food feels a bit different, but rice is eaten quite a lot, so a legendary dish being rice is also convincing.
Ah, if I rember correctly, in China, a chinese restaurant can refer to a hotel.
Then this can also be considered as a hotel.
“If it’s a rice delicacy, I would like to try it-ja na.” (Tomoe)
Tomoe is also with the intentions of definitely eating it.
If it is her, she can just read the mories of the people at the hotel and order it. There’s no point in a secret nu with a power like that.
At this rate, Mio also won’t care about the thods and will question about the na of that dish.
No doubt about it.
Until now, the rice als we have eaten have normally been on the low side of stickiness, so fried rice would be a bit more novel.
There’s a mysterious rule that curry, fried rice, and karaage, are, in the end, the number one most delicious food in their households.
And this is all getting so complicated.
Why is it that I am assuming it is fried rice?
No good, no good.
“Well, let’s leave aside the fried—I an, that dish. Let’s regroup with everyone.” (Makoto)
Standing here all the ti thinking about strange things will make shy when trying to enter.
Just as I thought of this and urged the three, right at our front, Beren and the other two had co out from the entrance.
Oh, so they ca to receive us.
Seems like we talked way too much outside.
The three must have been tired waiting.
“Finally ca out. Seriously, you guys are late in receiving us.” (Tomoe)
“Looks like you are not paying attention. How shaful.” (Mio)
Eeeh.
Tomoe and Mio spit out words as if they were waiting for Beren and the others to receive us.
So the two of them were conversing here to kill ti?
I was thinking we would be regrouping in the room.
“Waka-sama, Tomoe-sama, Mio-sama, we have been waiting for you!” (Beren)
Beren approaches us in small trotts.
“Everyone, good work in your jobs. Sorry for having you guys search for the lodging as well.” (Makoto)
“What are you saying! It has been a while since we have gone afar, we are all fired up to tackle these tasks! Please don’t mind it!! Now go ahead, go ahead!” (Beren)
Oh, Beren’s enthusiasm is plenty.
Even the silent Hokuto is visibly excited.
Shii was...I don’t know where she learned it from, but she was doing the police salutation as she has a serious aura with that small body of hers.
Led by the three, we enter the extravagant hotel.
Uh...
“Welco. Kuzunoha Company’s Raidou-sama, Tomoe-sama, Mio-sama, we have been waiting for your arrival.”
In b-both sides, there’s employees of the hotel lined up?!
My legs stop in an instant.
This overwhelming welcoming pressure. Sohow able to go against it, I resu my walk that had stopped for a mont and once again move forward.
Words with no hesitation, and a welcoming by lowering their heads.
A sight that I have only seen in TV.
When entering, the first thing I see is the wide lobby, there’s a lot of people, but it isn’t noisy. The atmosphere of the lobby, contrary to its outward appearance, is western styled. Maybe it is the result of having in mind the tourists.
It is a bit more relaxing this way.
It was a lot easier to enter than suddenly having my shoes taken off and all the floor being tatami.
The place where the front desk is located can easily be guessed by how the employees are lined up.
They are practically saying ‘that’s the way’.
Understood.
Tomoe and Mio look unfazed and that’s so mortifying.
It seems like Iroha-chan is also already coping with the situation.
...Well, she is a princess after all.
She is the kind of girl that when entering the bath, she will ask you to take off her clothes after all. This place might actually be more in her style than when we were riding the carriage.
Just a few monts ago, she was saying plebeian-like things, so I mistook her for a person in my side, geez.
So I am the only plebeian here huh.
I got it~.
“Welco, Raidou-sama.”
“I am Raidou of the Kuzunoha Company. We will be in your care for a while. Ehm, is there the need for any sort of procedure?” (Makoto)
It seems like they have already gotten a room for us, so it is probably okay.
But I will confirm just in case.
“Your room has been registered for 10 days. Everything has been arranged already, so there’s no problem. But, the...lady there, we haven’t received any notification of her, so, sorry for the trouble, but I would like to ask a few things...”
A beautiful japanese dressed Onee-san asked for information of Iroha-chan in an incredibly low posture.
But she paused a bit when she saw Iroha-chan.
She probably already knows her na.
She is one of the princesses of a distinguished family in this city, so it is not that strange. But well, her asking is probably so sort of formality.
It is most likely the case.
Just as asked, we add detailed extra information, and finished filling out so simple docunts.
(Waka, regarding the stay ti, let’s extend it to 1 month. We also have the matter of Iroha after all.) (Tomoe)
I glance at Tomoe.
aning, you want to look around, right?
I think 10 days is plenty enough, but...well, if we can secure more ti, it would be okay to do it.
We could use this place as a safe zone to throw Iroha-chan in if anything happens.
“Sorry but, regarding the stay ti, our plans might take a bit more ti, so I was thinking about extending it. Is it possible?” (Makoto)
I feel like a super popular high-class hotel like this won’t be able to cope with this kind of things.
If that happens, maybe we can bring her to the dungeon?
If possible, I want to avoid that.
It would be best if Shougetsu-san were to take over, but unless we talk about it first, there’s no assurance.
...Even I can tell I am slightly soft with Iroha-chan.
But she is around the sa age as Rinon and Komoe-chan, and she is also the fiancee of Izumo.
How to say it, it is like I just end up minding her, or more like, I end up being soft on her.
“Yes, if the Kuzunoha Company-samas are okay with staying in the current room assigned, we can arrange it.”
Oh, how unexpected.
No well, she did say ‘if we are staying in the current room assigned’.
...
Ah, it is the sa as the ti in Mizuha huh.
So it is like that.
“Then please change it to a 1 month stay.” (Makoto)
“...A month, is it. Understood. Then, can you please show the promissory note you have in your possession? This is a regulation, so please cooperate in this.”
It was possible.
Or would it be more accurate to say, I ended up doing it.
Are regulations different from 10 days to 1 month?
Hotels have it rough as well huh.
I show the promissory note with Sairitz-san’s mark on it.
Maybe she already knew of it beforehand, or it might be because she is a professional, the Onee-san didn’t change the color of her face as she writes in what’s most likely the hotel registry form like nothing happened.
“Also, regarding the staying price...”
The Onee-san that lifted her face up touches the topic of the price.
“Tomoe.” (Makoto)
Regarding matters of money, I will leave it to Tomoe.
“Yes. You have my gratitude for accepting the change on our own convenience. We will be paying the money in advance, so I would like to ask you to calculate the price.” (Tomoe)
“The full amount?”
“Of course. Obviously, if there’s any extra expenses, you can calculate them in the day of our departure. We are planning on heading to the labyrinth, so our stay in the hotel won’t be long, but we will be in your care in this ti.” (Tomoe)
“In order for everyone to pass a pleasant ti, all the employees will do their best.”
The Onee-san that is attending us lowers her head deeply.
At the sa ti, not only her, but the other Onee-san at the front desk also lower their heads, and the other people that are not attending custors also lower their heads.
“Well then, sorry for the hurry, but is it okay for my master and the others to head to the room? We want to rest the fatigue of our long journey, you see.” (Tomoe)
“Oh, sorry for the lack of tact.”
For a mont, the Onee-san sends her gaze to a location where no one of our group is in.
“Please, follow .”
Soon after, another person speaks with us.
They are going all the way to guide us huh.
Beren and the others are already staying here, so we can just have them bring us to the room though.
Well, returning to the room and being released from this tension is honestly my true feelings.
Let’s just be guided.
We leave Tomoe, and after greeting the guide lightly, we ask her to show us the way.
Soon after we began walking, for so reason, Mio turned towards the direction Tomoe is.
“Tomoe-san.” (Mio)
“I know. I am sorry for requesting things one after the other, I don’t mind if it’s for tomorrow, but I want to ask for at least one al.” (Tomoe)
“There’s no need to mind, please request of us as much as you want.”
“Umu. To tell you the truth, the Empress, Sairitz-dono, told us that there’s a famous product of this hotel, you see. We would like to try out this ‘fried rice’.” (Tomoe)
So you already read it huh, Tomoe.
At this kind of monts, the eye contact ability of Tomoe and Mio is truly admirable.
And she nonchalantly brought out the na of Sairitz-san.
So Sairitz-san has also eaten here?
And it really was fried rice huh.
If it’s Tomoe who has already read my mories, she should have already seen it before in them.
I can easily imagine her saying ‘Oh, so this is fried rice huh’.
“...I will arrange it so that you will be able to enjoy it by as soon as dinner.”
“You work fast-ja na. That’s pleasant.” (Tomoe)
“Thanks for the grateful words.”
Just like the lodging price, I will try not to think about the price it takes to fill us all with fried rice.
Iroha-chan, who had a prim face from beginning to end, opened her eyes wide for a mont. Her mouth ford a smile...or so it looked, but she is desperately trying to hold it.
Just how excited are you?
Now then, what part of this building is our room?
This ti for sure, we leave Tomoe and continue into the building.
...
This...I would get lost.
The map of the building at the side is practically a labyrinth.
Is this the preliminary match before challenging the grand labyrinth?
Heh~, it even has a courtyard.
...Wait, this place is not already the third floor?
In the first place, if I rember correctly, this building itself should be in a pretty high place...
It is in a location that’s far away from the labyrinth, so we won’t be oppressed by that gargantuan outer wall which makes happy.
Tsige also has a big wall, so it might be worth seeing in its own way. When there’s ti, I am thinking of checking it out thoroughly.
“There’s a section of the hotel that was made on a slope when it was constructed. I am sure that in your stay, the scenery from the bath, and the night view from your room will please you.”
As if reading my mind, I receive an explanation of the courtyard.
We walk in that yard as we are guided.
We have gone outside.
Also, a room we can enjoy the night view huh.
“Seriously?” (Makoto)
“The room is that one. Of course, from this courtyard to the room, there’s strict security, so there’s no need to worry about anyone suspicious. In the past, people like Sairitz-sama and Priestess-sama have been welcod here, a room this hotel is proud of.”
True.
It seems there’s around 5 people as security here.
If I search with Sakai, I can also tell, but their stealth skills are high enough that if I didn’t use Sakai, I wouldn’t be able to.
“Now then, please go ahead. Do take your ti. We will once again explain the detailed information of the room to Tomoe-sama once we see her again.”
She opens the door to the room, silently places herself to the side, and waits until we enter.
She bows once and leaves.
Elegant until the end.
“To think this is the room that Sairitz-sama and the Priestess-sama have stayed in...wafuuu~” (Iroha)
Ah, she didn’t say -desu.
The mont it was only us, Iroha-chan mutters this in a trembling voice and falls at the entrance.
Her legs had lost strength and she leans onto the shoe rack.
“Hmmm, fried rice. I feel like I have heard that before...” (Mio)
...That Mio, I thought she was being strangely silent, but it was because her head was full of fried rice?
At any rate, even though we arrived here when the surroundings were already getting dark, they will prepare the dinner, and even hear out our request.
With only this much, I can tell that it is great service.
We have co to quite the place.
Can we really go to a dungeon while staying in such an incredible hotel?
A dark and confined dungeon.
Ah, only that part is shaving off my motivation.
